hCCtillie llle Quern of ENGLAND to live a SI

sical liberality of Lord LivEttroot, and his a--
iates in office. The offir was not only &wadi;
hut illusory, for the same caprice that made ;t
might at any moment abridge the antenna or ;:.e
duration, or lake it entirely away. It is also unc;;;:.
stilton:nal, for why should any IMitenter preeit:
to fix au establishment for the rergoitig Que..,
Cotimeit of ENGLAND, and to devote the puld
money for its support at his own mere will s::.1
The only plea that could be ally,;:
justificatory of such presumptiou would be, that ;t
was re case of sudden necessity, and that there
sw oppottemity of applying to Parliament oil t 1”:
subject. That plea does not exist in the presort
case. l'ise opportunity of applying, to Parliament
Hot Daly existed, but Miiiisters advi,cdly rod rot-
fully avoided to take advantage of it.
Yesterday was a remarkable day iu parliamentary
annals, viol also, we must add, in the aortal' (n••e..
a-days ;.Trowirig so auburn ~,, us) of mittisterial
cility and effrontery. The QUEEN'S Attorney

which, in recent times at least, no precedent is to
be found. Mr. SPKAKIER, indignant, as we must
suppose, at such 'realms' of the Representatives
of a people, never more truly loyal than when re-
aiming the persecution of the Quasi, thought 11l
to abstain from making his bow to the Members at
the table, preferring an immediate retreat to his
own msnsioa. A scene more extraordinary bas
seldom been witnessed. The whole course of the
proceedings against the QUEER have been bottomed
in so much unmanly baseness, that we wonder not
either at the cowardice of its authors in flying from
their own Bill, or at their trembling apprehensions
at the very sight of even their own chosen (louse of
Commons. But their present policy, in adding fuel
so the fire that already threatens a general confla-
gration, their perseverance in every species of irri-
t 'ling littleness, does really astonish the public.
knowing, as it has long known, that they have a
`other object, teo other principle of conduct, than
to scrantb!e on from pay-day to pay-day. Mr.
CANNING, it is said, is sick of the firm. and re-
tires :—he does wisely ; if he has not done all he
might and ought to have done, his hands at least
are clean of this nasty work. He was not present
in the House yesterday, where the cadaverous hue
of his colleague's (the Noble VisCount's) counte-
nance spoke a mind very ill at ease.
It would seem that the talents of Lord CASTI.E.•
REACH were actively employed in the execution of
this notable manceseerre. Iles Lordship visited the
SPEAKER of the [louse of Commons at his house
adjoining Westminster Hall at eleven o'clock yes-
terday morning. A copy of the QuEEN's Arles-age,
which Mr. DENMAN W3S prevented from delivering
yesterday by the abrupt termination of the Se-siou,
is given in our parliamentary report.

Private letters have been received from Corfu to
ilie 2.4. h last. One of them stater, that according
to the latest advice' from the opposite coast, ALi
TACNA had wide a sortie, and defeated the 'Purks
with great slaughter. Although an old man, and
very unwieldy, from his great size, he headed his
troops in person, and nearly succeeded in taking
the new Governor. lies force did not exceed 800,
while that of the Turks amounts to near 20,000.
Ile has, however, 200 pieces of cannon in the cita-
del, with which he batters the town with great
effect. The Turk• had not brought up ally cannon
at the date of the last accounts.

We have received Paris Papers of Monday last. I
The accounts they contain from Vienna and other
parts of Germany breathe nothing but war and de-
struction against Naples; but these denunciations
seem to be merely repetitions of former statements.
Nothing official on this subject has yet transpired,
although it seems to be certain that the propriety of
occupying Naples by the Austrian troops, and of
restoring the oncieut order of affairs in that King-
dom, has been discussed in the Congress of Troppau.
It is said that the Duke de GA LLO sought permis-
sion to proceed in his doübly of Ambassador front
the Court of Naples, first to Vienna, mid then to
Truppau, hut that his request was refused. The
Duke has certaiuly returned to Naples.
The Madrid Papers of the loth of November
state, that the Cortes terminated their Session on
the preceding day. in pursuance of their previous
resolution. The K too still reinsins at the Escurial,
a circumstance which has excited much (meatiness
and some alarm in the public mind in Madrid. An
attempt at a counter-revolution seems to he tris-
prehended, fomented probably by the intrigues
of the religious hocietirs, all of which have been
deprived of their immense wealt:i and comfortable
houses, and the metnhers reduced to comparative
penury. The Cortes certainly appeared deficient in
prudence whet) they assailed so powerful a body. A
Private letter from Vittoria, of the 12iii of this month,
states that tite courier from Madrid to Vittoria was
stopt on the I I th, within a league of the latter city,
by a body of armed men, who seized upon
the Government dispatches and the journals, but
suffered all private letters to pass unopened. This
circumstance gives, in the minds of many, a cha-
racter of greater importance to this body of men
thou that of mere robbers. It is regarded as the
nucleus of a revolutionary army. Oa the eveuing
previous to the close of the Session there was an
extraordinary and secret meeting of the Cortes,
which is said in the Madrid Papers to have been
deeply interesting.
We have often had occasion to notice the sur-
prising accuracy sod truth of the communications
which appear in the Paris Papers, professing to be
private intelligence from London. The London
correspoodent of the Gazette de France informs the
Editor of that Paper, that " the popular clamour in
favour of the Queers became so menacing to the
properties and persons of her Judges, that twenty
Peers who had voted fur the Bill, suffered them-
selves to be intimidated, sod withdrew from the
Upper House." We should like to read an expo-
sition by this sage writer and accurate observer of
the causes that induced Lord Livtaroot. to solicit
the (louse of Lords to kick oat his own Bill.

A Flanders Mail has arrived, with Papers
from Brussels to the I2d November. They notice
the activity of couriers and other circumstances,
from which they infer that events of great importance
will shortly take place on the side of Italy.

Hamburgh Papers to the 18th instant have
arrived. They give the details of an insult of.
fered on the 26th September to Coont Smono-
NOM the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople,
by three soldiers, who fired their pistols at the door
of his palace. One of them was taken into custody
by the Janissaries, but • large party of the soldiers
speedily arrived, and with violent threats proceeded
to force the gates of the palace to liberate their com-
panion, when the Age arrived, to whom the Ambss.
',dor delivered the prisoner, but the soldiers rescued
him and carried I ' anis triumph. The Porte made
a prope► apology to the Ambassador for this insult;
and, as a further atonement, the Chief Governer of
the forts, within whose authority the outrage took
place, with several superior Officers, was deposed,
and ten of the soldiers were strangled. The follow.
ing trait of that barbarous Government is also ex-
tracted from the Ilamha►Rh Papers:—

Fresh differences having ■rise• between the Schismatic
and the Catholic Armenians, the Sultan bas appointed a
Tribunal to adjust them. This Tribunal has proceeded with
great rigour and real basharily. Accusers and accused,
guilty and innocent, were put to the torture. Three Bishops,
one of them • venerable uld man of 89 years, were be-
headed, two other individuals were banged before the gate
of the Patriarch, three bankers banished and their property
confiscated, by which from twenty In thirty of piss-
ires have accrued to the Sultan's treasury. This financial
operation bas, however, elicited in Constantinople great dig.
satisfaction with a favourite of the Sultan's, because several
Paellas who had placed their property in the bands of these
bankers, have 101,1 their aII.
A sun of Baba Paths, who commanded the Turkish
forces against Ali Pacha, has arrived here in • beautiful
English carriage which Isis father has taken frot• Ali. The
Sultan received this young man ►ery graciuusly, and ap-
pointed him Chamberlain.

We have received a series of Madras Papers to the
25th of June. By advises received at dirt Presi-
dency from Trincomalee, dated May 30th, it ap-
pears that an insurrection had broken out in the in-
terior of Ceyl ~,,, originating in the deser ' of some
Malays, who hail polled with a body of Candiaos.
They had intercepted the Tappan!, and killed the
bearers. To stop the progress of this insure ection a
detachment of the 73d regiment, tinder the com-
mand of Captain OWEN. hail gone in pur►uit of the
re-belA. Serbseqiient advices, however, received at
Madras, suite that the leader of the rebels hail been
seized sod brought in by the routives, ■nd that tran-
quillity had in consequence been re-established in
the Wand. From the presidencies of Calcutta and
Bombay, papers had reached Madras to the 7th and
llth of June; but without cutumunicating any
event of general iiiterest.

On Monday but • meeting of the Freemen and

and forcible speech, Mr. PHILLIPS deprecated
the whole of the measures that were adopted against
the QuEete, and congratulated the meeting on the
teritiniation of proeerdings which not only sought
to destroy the reputation oleo injured QUEEN, but
teemed with evils that threatened the safety of the
country and the welfare of society, and lie thought
all parties must hail with joy the abandonment of
a iniasure so obnoxious and so dangerous; he
observed, that though the Mayor had declined
to call the meeting, let they had the Infliction
of a majority of the Magistrates, who hail signed
the requisition. and with the permission of the
meeting lie would tow read the Addres., which
he begged to submit to their approbation. The

the Freemen and lithultitalita of the City, which
was seconded by Dr. SYSIONDS, and curried will)
loud plaudits. •The thanks of the meeting to Mr.
