d-ye are occupied in matching. lam sot here to deny my
p.nrhing; if I do wrong it is for you to lad me guilty.
If I think I am right, it is for nee to justify myself if I can.
I took my text on that occasion from Matthew, vii.
13—
r• Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should
do to yeti', do ye eves so to them; for this is the law sun
the prophets."
The connexion of our text with lb. foregoing verse inti-
mates. that the more goodness we expect from God, the
'more kind and disinterested we should be to our neighbour.
A firm persuasion that our heavenly Father will give us
all the good we need IN answer to prayer, will certainly excite
our cud nig promote the happiness of others.
The text goes spur the principle of self.deuial--appeals
to the principle of self-love—applies it to our ueighbour—
sod instate upon it as the motive to influence all our ac-
Cons—mod is similar to, " Thum shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself' and is the demoustratimi of that text en ac-

con.
If the principle of our text were acted upon, what a de-
struction it would be to trade atoms kinds.
1. The persou's trade would be cut op by the roots.
The Rector. with his 3,0001. per annum, and the Bishop,
with big-30,0001. per annum, would have u, resigu their
lucrative posts. mid weave, and spin, or till the ground,
&c. &c. &c. But uo doubt they hope this will meter be in
their day.
2. The Lawyer's trade will be ruined. There will be no
qnarrels or ; no expresser law-snits; ■o prosecu-
tions. There will be MO bleed of attorneys, et/mistily. s,
Flares, courts of justice. gaols or gaul.keepers, nu bum.
bailiffs, no police.officers, &c. asc.
3. The Magistrate's trade would be destroyed.
There would be no eremitic of sisinusouses or warrants.
No militia; of osittimoses--uu bondsmen, and no bail
fees, &c.
4. The soldier's trade wpsald perish. No bloody Waterloo
}mules, or Peterloo massacres—ad arming, training,
; swords would be beaten into ploughshares, and pikes
into pruning hooks—musket-barrels into gas-pipes, and can.
lion into steam-pipes, Sce. &e.
5. The Boroughmoneer's trade would he abolished. Na
Riving 100,0001. for a few old pig.cotes, called • borough....
GO bribes to voters or members—no placental, pension/en,
s'necurists, &c. &se.
6. The King trade will he greatly affected.
No Parliamest—no King but one, " and bis name shall
be one io all the earth."
I observed that this doctrine bad been preached 600 years
•go; by Enoch before, land by Prophets after the Flood; by
the Apostles of Jesus in the Romin empire; and ever since
by all the true Ministers of Christ. Alas! what corruptions
—what wickeder., has taken place, notwithstanding this
r.ne maxim. I hail no doubt but large salaries would be
paid in Ministers fur teacbiug their flocks; sleet Judge",
Counsellors, and Attorarys would be employed for a long
t:rne before this principle would be acted upuu. That mill-
tar, would be kept up; that many bloody battles would be
Sosielit ; ninny persons incarcerated; many blot kheads
crooned, and many crowned heads cut off, before this great
principle was acted upon. I preached ibis Gentlemen, and
you will, I suppose, convict me; but I call not only earth
but beavest to witness, that I am incapable of utter's( the
language so foully and so calumniously imputed to me by
that witness you harm seen, and who, you must know, is
tosillt to give evidence in any case. 1 am • preacher of the
Gosp►l, bit am I to compose all my sermons of texts of
Scripture! Did any one ever bear such • 'sermon! Look
fo the preachers of the Established Church ; de out they in-
troduce polities? You, perhaps. bare heard many loyal
eermens.--/or have beard political doctrioes flirty urged,
and loyalty to the Crown recommended; awn, if intro-
dodo( politics into religious di►courses be criminal in nee,
it is su in skein also. As a preacher, it is natural that I
should wish to see the days of m Ilenisiont arrive. 1 would
say, 1 will say, with the Apostle John,
" Come, Lord Jeans, Mine quickly."
It is for you to say, Gentlensco, whether we bare or have
riot a right, as public speakers, • right to speak our senti-
ments. If we have • right, are yow •a Jurymen to deprive
your fellow-creature of their rights? You are sot to be

FRIDAY. Arau. *l, MC

Flee MAJESTY having been graciously pleased
to appoint Mr. BROUGHAM her Attorney-General.
and Mr. DISIM•K her Solicitor-General, thistle gen-
tlemen were yesterday required by the LORD
CstsultELLGN and the other Judges to take their
seats within the bar of the several Courts. with the
rank that belongs to their offices. This circum-
stance may he considered as a formal and legal
recognition of her MAJESTY'S title, and reposes to
ridicule the ludicous difficulties which the Mem-
bers of the Cabinet experienced during the last
Session of Parliament upon this interesting subject.
Possibly we may hence also deduce an assurance,
that no attempt will be made to deprive her MA-
JESTY, by any summary process. of rights which
appertain to her person by the established laws of
the realm. That some such intention was at one
period contemplated by the Members of •the Ca.
binet, there seems to be too much reason to sus-
pect, else wherefore should the Kiss's Ministeis
hesitate about recognising the title that by law and
custom is used to designate the KING's Royal
Consort ? They could not be ignorant that the
same moment which made his Majesty a KING,
secured to his consort the title of QUEEN ; mud it
was not more difficult to pronounce this little
mo-
oosyllabk, than it was to give utterance to the
amplified phrases of " illustrious person," " dis-
tinguished Lady." or " iudividual of high rank,"
with which alone the Ministers of the Crown con-
descended to designate her MAJESTY. Since this
subject was first noticed in public, the sews nithe
nation lies been pretty generally expressed ; and
from this it is evident that the people will owl en-
dure that any violent or arbitra►y measures should
be adopted, even by Parliament, against her MA-
JESTY'S undoubted rights. It is now equally evi-
dent, from the steps adopted by the QuEsts, that
leer MAJESTY will cutter into no compromise which
may affect the dignity of her station mid the honour
of her family, or may even by implication expose
he► character to the chance of obloquy.
There was a full meeting of the Ministers on
Wednesday at the house of the Earl of LITER-
root, ■t which it is presumed this ►ubject was
taken into consideration.

The store trials

this d.y •t the Old

Bailey. If the Prisoners who remain to be tried
still refuse to agree in their challenges, they must
be tried separately, and we believe that of these
Duriion, the man of colour, will take precedence.
The same evidence will. of course, be given in
Doeiroies case as has already been adduced against
TALtkwood, and therefore the one trial may be
expected to continue fur as many days u were oc-
cupied by the other.

Paris Papers of Monday last have arrived at oar
office. The King of SPAM has, by a Decree of
the 3d of April, revived a Decree of the Cortes of
the 19th of July, 1813, for abolishing all the ex-
clusive and prohibitive privileges enjoyed by the
Crown, under the title of Royal Patrimony. His
Majesty announces that he has been induced to
abolish these privileges, " being i iii imaiely 'per-
suaded that it is impossible for the monarchy to
obtain the union and prosperity which are so much
wanted, so long as all Spaniards shall not be equal
in point of eajoyments, charges, tights, and duties."
This sentiment is so wise and just, that it is surp►is-
ing it did net occur to his Maassee at an earlier
period, for nothing can be more inconsistent with
justice, or more calculated to disgust the great
body of a people, than that certain favoured claa.ea
should be exempted from the burdrus which ought
to be borne equally by every member of the State.
For the encouragement of agriculture in Spain,

the K t n 0 has by the advice of the Junta sup pressed
the duty known in the I provinces under the
name of " The Vow of Si. James." The ar rrrrr due
of this duty, and of the privileges of the royal potri.
tnony. to the 9th of March, when the King ►wore
the Constitution, are appropriated to the relief of
the families of those who suffered from the violence
of the troopa at Cadis, on the 10th of March last.
The Kula Ism also suppressed the numerous duties
which were imposed upon the travelliug flocks of
Merinos.
Admiral VILLAVICCMTtO, who, with FILMIC,
was suspected of having countenanced the massacre
of Cadiz. is to undertake the general direction of

It is expected that his Excellency will return to
Pistil it the commencement of next month.

Yesterday morning as the Duchess of Berry was
enjoying her accustomed walk on the terrace of the
garden of the Tuileries, an individual, of respect-
able appearance, addressed to the august Princess
the most gross insults. He was nu the point of
falling a victim to popular indignation, when eu
officer of the Royal Guard, attired en knergeeis,
who witnessed the scene, caused him to he taken
into custody, and conducted to the guard-house.
The Captain of the ship r Amtigont. which ar-
rived from Havannah at Havre, on the 10th in-
stant, states, that at his departure the greatest
tranquillity reigned there ; that the events at Cadiz
were the 'abject of general talk ; but they had not
proclaimed the Conatitutiou, as was announced by
a Paris Joust's!.
The Cossiihaismal, of Madrid, draws the follow-
ing sketch of the Count Dt L'AstustLis good and
bad actions:—

In 1812, he published our political constitution
with elothusossen, of the Ulm de Lenn, mood matte pub•
lic demonstrations of pstriotisas--Cood Action.

In 1814, he p►oclaimed, at Logrono, his adhe-
sion to the absolute power of the KING, being at
that time General of the Army, which his MAJES-
TY confided to him to protect his rights-Bad
Action.
In tBl9, lic.formed the determination of causing
the expeditionary army to revolt, the command of
which was confided to him by the King.—Good

On the Bth of July he arrested the moot decided
chiefs of that army, and left them exposed to the
punishment or convirators. For this he obtained
the Grand Cross of CHARLES 111.—Bad Action.
lu 18e0, March 4, he proclaimed the Constitu-
tion at Ocana; mid contributed thereby to accelerate
the triumph of the revolution.—Good Action.

Ile returned to Madrid, and conducted himself
in a manner by no means conformable to the prin-
ciples of moderation which he had promised to üb-
serve.—Bad Action.

sive So obscurity until the illation, forming ao ex-
act ides of changes announced, and' heard Generals

A letter from St. Petershurgh of the 51211 March
says, that a new expedition fur northern discovertes
*ill be prepared during the approaching slimmer.
The sl►ila will mil from the mouth of the Lena fur
the Icy Sea, for the purpose of examining the coists
of Siberia, and the islands which were discovered in
those regions some years since. As it has not yet
been discovered whether these reputed islands do
not form pa►t of a codtinent, ■ud have been hitherto
•isited only in *inter, it will be every interesting
to ,ascertain at what point the ice per►nits, an ap-
proach to them during the summer, and to deter.
