THE QUEEN AND THE TORIES.
There are two points as to which the Tories appear to
labour under great misapprehension—First, they seem to
forget that by force of the Royal prerogative it appertains
to the Sovereign clone to select and appoint the :Members
of the Administration. This point was grudgingly con-
ceded by Sir H. Peel in his late speech at Tamworth ;
but his friends of the Tory press do not readily allow it
although it is a fundamental article of our Constitution.
The second point to which I allude is this—that if her
Majesty should be driven by adverse votes of the House
of Commons to the hard necessity of appointing a
Tory Administration, she is not under any obligation
to admit the members of it to her society, or to see them
' at all, except on occasions when official business shall
require the sacrifice of her feelings. Some persons
say that every Minister should possess the confidence
of his Sovereign. I will not argue against this position,
but beg leave to observe, that it is stated in the 4th volume
of Adolphus's History, just published (p. 30). that King
George 111. declared that the Coalition Administration of
Lord North and Mr. Fox did not possess his confidence.
However, be that as it may, I contend that the point
cannot be pushed to a greater extent than this, that a
Minister is entitled to recommend those acts to his So-
vereign for which he is constitutionally responsible : but
he is not entitled to prescribe to her the domestic esta-
blishment she is to keep, or the society she is to enjoy.
Were it otherwise, our beloved Queen would be no
better than a slave in her own dominions, although by
the Constitution she has a third of the legislative, and
the whole of the executive, power confided to her.
Let us hope that the aristocratical oligarchy of the
country will pay due attention to these observations.
They may be sure that the people of England will
not permit her Majesty, who has shown so strong a
regard for those civil and religious liberties of the
country which the house of Brunswick was brought
here to protect, to be insulted or trampled upon. I
hope the time will never arrive when it may become
necessary to raise the cry of—" To your tents, 0
Israel !" again in this island ; but if such a necessity
were to arise, it would be entirely attributable to the
domineering attempts of the few to coerce and control
the many, who, as the oligarchs think, are born for no
other purpose than to contribute to the indulgence of
their luxury and profigacy.—Correspondent of an Even-
ing . Paper.

The Constitutionnel says :—" The Danae fri-
gate has arrived at St. Petersburgh, where a look• out
for her has been kept up for several days. •As soon
as she was descried in the offing, all the Russian
ships were dressed and fired salutes. The frigate, im-
mediately on coming in, was visited by the officers of the
Russian navy, who afterwards received those of the
Danae on board their own ships, with the utmost cor-
diality. The Emperor gave orders that the French
should be treated during their stay at St. Petersburgh
with every mark of consideration. No French ship of
war has appeared in the Baltic since January, 1828,
when a frigate was sent for M. de la Ferronays. '
WONDERFUL TRAVELLING..—We are inform-
ed that a distance of 57 miles has been travelled on the
common road, in a Bath chair, by electro-magnetic
power, in one hour and a half. And further, that the
applier comes over daily from St. Albans to the Bank
of England in the said chair in half an hour, at an ex-
pense of sixpence. The model of an electromag-
netic engine, which has been exhibiting at the
Adelaide Gallery for some time, is an instance of
ingenious mechanic arrangement, whereby contact
is broken and renewed, the poles reversed, &c. ; and
from its performances .gave great promise of practical
powers on a larger scale. The battery employed is the
nitric acid, or . Grove's battery. Of the invention that
has done the great feat, and established the successful
application of this wonderful agent, we know little more
than its success. We hear that the increase of power is
due to the discovery of a new combination of elements;
that this is the secret of the moving-pwer ; and that
the battery is to be the subject of a patent.—Literary
Gazette, Aug. 21.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—The following
notice wasyesterday posted in the Court on Saturday, and
it may be advisable that creditors who require their di-
vidends should make an early application to the Ac•
count Int-General if their cases are " urgent," or else
they must remain without their little modicums for the
next two months :

" Lord Chancellor. " Friday, Aug. 20, 1811.
