another part of our paper. The Answer contains a
severe rebuke to the Common Council, attributing
to the framers of the Address the desire of infirm-.
jog the passions and misleading the judgment of
the people, and of aggravating " all the difficulties
with which we have to contend." The Answer
must of course be considered as conveying the sen-
timents of the Ministers only, but we think that
they have used their Sovereign somewhat too
harshly in advising him to utter words so ungra-
cious to the first corporate body in his kingdom—a
body who, in loyalty to their KING and Wee.
tionate fidelity to the constitution, yield not to
the members of the Cabinet themselves. The
language of displeasure is always toilet' and ge-
!ie.:illy obscure. The present Answer possesses
boils these qualities. We cannot conceive what the
e 4 difficulties" are which are noticed in the last
paragraph. The Monsters have long denied that
the con airy laboured under any difficulties, bat if
the ',image relate only to the difficulties of the
Cabinet, we know of none but such as have been
created by the Ministers themselves. These no
doubt are such as the language of truth and justice
wiry aggravate," for they flow from the displea-
sure of the nation, and manifestly tend to push the
present Ministers from their seats, and supply their
places with men more deserving the confidence of
their Sovereign, as they at present enjoy in a for
higher degree the confidence of the people.

Our readers have, we presume, pondered with the
attention it merited upon the important piece of
information communicated to the last Middlesex
meeting by Mr. Pssasorr, respecting the manufac-
tory of seditious placards which this Learned Gen-
tleman has been so instrumental in discovering. He
has evidence, lie affirms, to prove that a placard was
actually prepared by the persons forming Franklin's
gang. for the purpose of being published in the
event of the passing of the fill of Pain. and Pe-
nalties, telling upon the people to take up arms in
her MAJ MY'. defence. From the character and
tone of some of the placards already published by
the some gang of ruffians, we believe in the probs.
bait), and truth of Mr. PEA ROO WS communication;
and this circumstance at once explain. the wicked
eagerness displayed by certain writers in the Trea-
snry prints to impute the guilt of sedition to all
who clime any sympathy for the sufferings of the
Qintex. or exult in the recent defeat of her perse-
cutors. It sheds a light bright and irresistible upon
the motives that have induced these saute libellers
to represent the QUgill as the nucleus of a revoltift
tionsry party. sad her cause as a banner invitingly
unfurled to collect the enemies of the KING and
Constitution. It *hews clearly what these persons
would secretly desire to see accomplished. A pre-
teitce is wanted for blasting the reputation of
the QUEEN, political as well as moral, and one
part of the scheme having failed by the disco-
very of the placard-manufactory, the conspire.
tors are driven to the necessity of impaling the
ermines which they had anxiously hoped to have
witnessed in the reality. Great would have been
their triumph had they by their ingenious device of
calling on the people to rise in her MAJESTY'S de-
fence, indoced some half-dozen simpletons to dig.
turb the peace of the city, thought the blood of their
victims, either under the sword of the soldier or Gil
the scaffold, must have atoned for their guilt. The
monsters who contemplated this dreadful result as
the triumph of their machinations, call themselves
loyal, and friends to the. Government! They ■re
the worst of traitors to their country, and the most
dangerous enemies to the Ministers they affect to
serve. A good government could never require
such assistance, and there is none so had as not to
assume the merit of disclaiming it. We cannot
conceive that the utmost exercise of controversial
skill could devise an excuse for conduct so abstract-
edly atrocious ; it is guilt in naked deformity,
equalling the worst Oust imagination can attribute
to the enemy of mankind : it tempts to crime that
it might lead its victims to punishment.

IVe have received Paris Papers of Wednesday
and Thursday last. The Moniteur contains a
Royal Ordinance regulating the entrees in the
King's Palace, and 'assigning to the I Digni-
taries of State their peculiar share in tins enviable
privilege.
The latest intelligence from Naples continued in
these papers is dated the 40th of November. The
Austrian troops still continue in their original posi-
tion ; but some of the Neapolitan journals seem to
consider war as inevitable. The fortress of Gaeta
has been put into a perfect state of defence, and
the means of making a formidable resistance to the
threatened invasion are made the frequent subject
of discussion in the Parliament. The Deputy PEPE
proposed, that the iiseless luxury of the theatres
should be suppressed, and the funds destined fur
their maintenance applied to the enrolling of a re-
giment. The result of the proposition is not
stated. M. GALAN rl, a luau of distinguished
literary attainments, suggested that the name of the
Kingdom of die Two Sieilies should be altered into
the Kingdom of Italy, and that the provincisi should
resume their ancient names of Sa►nniam, Campania,
&c. This was objected to by a Deputy, who observed,
that to lissome the name of the Kingdom of
Italy would excite a suspicion that their ulterior
objects eutbraced the conquest of all Italy. M. G. 4.
I.4NTi then suggested, that the name of the Kin.

door of Southern Italy might he estepts& He, how.
ever received a very proper rebuke from the Pant-
Duce, who asked him whether he desired to imitate
the conduct of the French Revolutionists, who under-
took to alter all names, even those of the months
and days of the week. We must occupy ourselves,
said he, with things, and not with words.

Accounts from Vienna state, that the Congress
of Troppau has been suspended du►ing three weeks,
for the purpose of sw•iting the answer of the Nea.
politan Cabinet to the conditions which the allied
derpots transmitted for its consideration. Lord
STEWART has arrived in Vienna from Troppau,
•nd does not, it is said, intend to return to the
Congress. A letter from Hanover states, that the
Castle of Herrenhansen has been fitted up in great
haste for the reception of the Queen of ENGLAND.
Her MAJESTY will spare her good people of Hs-
nover the trouble of watching over her personal
safety.

Intelligence from Madrid apprises us of a slight
skirmish which took place in the vicinity of Burgos.
between the Ktuo's troop. and a snug party of
insurgents, in which the latter were defeated and
dispersed. The people of Valencia have again
displayed some agitation, and demanded the head
of General ELto, and the punishment of the Arai.
bishop. The account of the return of the KING to
Madrid seems to inive tranquillised their fears,. but
a promise. has been made to them that legal pro-
ceedings shall be instituted against the ebjects of
their immediate displeasure. The Archbishop is
said to have e•crped on board ship, purposing to
go to Rome.
