int tits that have recently occurred, one would find a
difficulty in recommending perseverance in such a course,
particularly aflet the result of the inquest at Oldham—
an inquest held for the purpose of inquiring into a charge
of wilfulvnurde►, and which should have been brought
to a termination as speedily as a due examination of
witnesses would allow. It is said, in justification of
the extraordinary and alarming adjournment of the in-
quest to a week after the meeting of Parliament, and the
consequent postponement of the verdict, that itwas done
at the desire of the:fury. This, however, it is also said,
they disclaim; but even had they expressed such a wish,
the cause of it should have been made known, in a
manner the most distinct and fossnal ; and if, farm in-
disposition of any of the Tory, on the testimony of me-
dical men, then as little delay as possible should have
been allowed to interrupt the progress of the inquest.—
If offences have been committed, let the offenders be
punished ; and at all events, let MC give satisfaction to
an anxious and inquiring nation. Before, then, we stir
a step towards rigorous legislation, or tnenacing arma•
went, it behoves us to inquire whether out constitutional
laws may not have suffered something from those who
have the guardianship of them in•their own hands ; and
whether, if that be the case, such violation of its sacred
bulwarks may not, in reality, create, if it has not already
created, a disixasitirm to retaliate, where no intention, of
resistance before es'sted. If, however, contrary to my
my expectations, there should, indeed, appear a deter-
minatieis, openly mid distinctly acted upon, to overitutt
the constitution of the country, I shall he ready to exert
every means in 41).y power to meet •tad resist such a spirit
of hostility, against what I conceive, ill common, thrnbt-
•less, w•;th the great hotly of the nation, to he the most
perfect form of Govertitnent with
,which any country
was ever blessed.

Durint.; the late war I raiced a corps of Infantry, and
subscribed in various instances, to other corps, for the
protecaion of my country against a foreign. ettemy.—
Nlay God grant that I may never see the hoar when I
may he compelled to do so against a domestic one ! It,
however, that tuthappy moment should ever arrive, 1
shall not, I. trust, he found wanting, in calling into
action all the resources within my sphere of influence.
I have the honour to he, with sincere respect, Gen-

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31.

We have. received Paris Papers of Friday and
Saturday last.• The most important of their con-
tents are the accounts they furnish of the progress
of the dreadful innlady which now afflicts the south-
ern provinces of Spain. The fever not only rages
with undiminished violence in Cadiz, but notwith-
standing,the flattering reports already published, it
seems that the Isle of Leon still labours under its
afflicting influence, and that it has manifested itself
in the city of Seville.

The Queen.of Spain, in her slow progress from
the frontier to the capital, was nt Vittoria on the
7th.and Bth of this month. The Authorities in
Vittoria, in the simplicity of their hearts, thought
to delight their new Sovereign by a skew of bull
fights; but her more refined taste and generous Icel.
inns revolted at so barbarous, a spectacle, and slit:
soon retired from the scene of cruelty, leaving her
less sensitive suijects to enjoy the torments of ani.
male far nobler than themselves. It seems, however,
that this indirect censure of the customs of Spain
Las not diminished the respect which the Spaniards
of all classes testify towards this young and interest.

We have received Paris Papers of Monday and
Tuesday last, one of which states that the Princess
of Wales remains at Lyons. The trial of the Editor
and Publisher of the translation of Mr. Ilobliouse's
history of the Hundred Days took place before the
Assize Court of Paris on Monday. It seems that
this translation was originally printed at Ghent, and
that a copy of it was purchased from a traveller i.t
Paris by M. Demere, one of the defendants in the
present case.. This copy was shewo to the other
defendant, Repeat Warin, who thought it might
be published if some parts, which reflected with too.
much severity upon the King and the Royal Fa-
mily, were suppressed. Regnault Warin undertook
the task of erasing the most ofl'en'ive parts, and
these alterations being made, the book was printed.
—At half .past four o'clock the Jury retired, anl
returned to the Court at half past six. They pro•
nounced the two prisoners Not Guilty of formal
attacks upon the inviolahflity of the King's person,
&v. but•they declared them Guilty of public insults
towards the King, and Royal Family ; and the
Court, after some deliberation, sentenced Domere to
six months' imprisonment and 1,000 francs fine;
anti Rngnault Warin to one year's imprisonment
and 1,000 francs fine.

A revolution has occurred in the Ministry. of the
Ottoman Porto ; and it was executed in the sudden,
showy, end melo-dratnatic style, which so often dis.
tiuguishes the movements of arbitrary power. Ilia
Ilighness announced a grand kvee to be held; the
Ministers repaired to it ; and before you could say
" Jack Robinson" the Mufti (or Lord Chief Justice
of Turkey) was turned out of office. A short time
atierwards three other Ministers were deposed—the
Grand Master of the Ceremonies, Minister of the
Interior, and Grand Marshal. The poor Grand
Admiral was accused of various crimes, sentenced,
strangled, and thrown into the sea. The bow-string
is your o.dy " radical" at Constantinople ; it re-
forms (not the Parliament, it is true, but) the
Mi-
nistry, beyond all relapsing, and now and then the.
Sultan himself.

OCT. st.

A Dutch Nlail has arrived, with Papers to the
!ith instant. They contain some details of the
insurrection that broke out last year in Java. It is
attributed by the Dutch to the superstition of the
ratives, but they were equally superstitious in the
time of Governor Raffles, and yet the Island dill not
then suffer any such troubles.

A Dutch mail informs us, that the Belgic Legis-
lature was opened by commission on the 18th, at the
Hague. The opening speech presents no striking
passages, nor any unexpected topics. The spirit of
peace which animates the several Governments of
Europe is dwelt upon with 4.,coming satisfaction;
the new code of laws is described as about to be laid
before the States General ; the economy of Govern-
ment is much boasted of; the impossibility of
reducing the military establishment is lamented;
the good harvest, extending manufactures, and im-
proving colonies, are selected as subjects of congra-
tulation;: and, notwithstanding the degree to which
trade has suffered, the general condition of the
Netherlands is affirmed to be. such as leaves their
inhabitants nothing to envy in that of other coun-
tries, and nothing. to grieve at in their own..

A private letter from Paris saya—" The Pilincess
of Wales, who was at Fountainbleau on Tuesday the
19th, has taken the mad to Dieppe, as it is said,
without passing by Paris. It is stated that the
Austrian Governor of Milan granted her a passport
without knowing her, thinking he was giving it to
hes maid of honour; and it appears, that in this
manner her Royal Highness trivets, whose whole
life is milked by episodes mere ar less romantic.".

Letters from Jamaica, dated Sept. , state, that
the yellow fever has been severely felt in that island.
The troops in particular have soared much. A few
days previous to the date of the letters, Colonel Hill,
of the 50th regiment, the oldest person in the corps,
mid who had been 47 years in it, fell a sacrifice to
Lk humanity. It is said that it arose from the men
rAlking to act as nurses to their comrades in the
Lospital, fur all those who had done so had invariably
died. After some pause; four privates of the grena-
ciders offered their services, which were of course
accepted. Two.of them in a short time became vic-
tims to the dreadful effects of the pestilence, when
the other two instantly withdrew their assistance.
This hopeless state of things did not long remain,
fur CoL Hill exclaimed, " Then, my men, we must
change our coats; since - I cannot find a man in my
regiment to attend a sick soldier, I must do it my-
self:" Many days did not elapse ere this noble-
mintledofficer was himself .attacked• with this dreadful
malady, which terminated with his death. He was
universally respected, and his :mains- were fol-
lowed to the grave by all the officers and men of the
regiment whose health permitted their doing so.

Among the motives which have induced Govern-
ment. to remere 19;000'of the veteran battalions and
Chelsea out-pensioners to active duty, it is said,
that great numbers of these met) (not officers) have
been noticed in the ranks of the Radicals at their
late public meetings. The officers thus recalled to
the service have all retired on full pay, and the full
pay of the men will not exceed the aggregate of
their half pay and pensions.
The proposed increase of the Royal Marine forces,
to the extent of 20 men to each company, is not
connected with the alarm excited by the proceedings
of the Radicals. • A correspondence has been carried
en for some time between the C,otmeander in-Chief
and the Admiralty, on the subject of the Dock-yard
duty, to which the present establishment of Marines
was represented by the latter as inadequate. The
ease has been made eta, and the increase of the
Royal Marines is, we understand, to supply this
deficiency.
