a` they believe they are truly informed,

th
he to their claims than the last, and that
"ve sent with the aid of their Protestant
ttlirena a greater number of their advocates into

the House ofeommOts than hetetofore." This is an
alarming fact if well founded, for it skews that the
Papists have employed all the means in their
power, either of intimidation.or corruption, to ac-
complish their point. But what is still more
alarming, it is stated in the same Paper, that
" the majority of the Cabinet is favourable to
'heir Claims;" adding, that " they have the sa-
t;'slaction of knowing the Chief Secretary of the
Lord Lieutenant is not only their zealous friend,
but their able advocate." We have before noticed
the arts which have been practised open Mr.G RANT,
and the adulation which has beets lavished upon that
Gentleman, in order to ensnare him into some
declaration in favour of their cause, but we have
witnessed With us itch pleasure the guarded caution
with which he has always answered,them ; for he
has constantly avoided committing himself in any
manner that could justify them in supposing that
he is really Is iendly to their cause. He has ex-
pressed in general terms, and doubtless with so-
lemn sincerity, Isis zeal for the welfare of Ireland,
but has most sagaciously forborne to touch upon
the Roman Catholic Claims. It was lately grated
in one of the Opposition Journals; that seven
Members of the Cabinet are in favour of the
Papists, and a Provincial Paper of this Country
even ventured to' insinuate that " the 'PRINCE
REGENT 111111 Sell is sincerely desirous (though be
does not openly express his wishes). of the ad-
mission of their Claims." IVe will not inquire
how the Paper in quesrion became so well ac-
quainted with the secret wishes of the PHINce RE-
GENT ; but the world need not be told of the af-
fectionate reverence which his Royal Highness
bears to his revered Father, in whose name and by ►
whose authority he has so gloriously raised the
Military Character of the Nation, and to
whose religious principles, founded upon the
sacred basis of the CORONATION OATH, his Royal
Highness will doubtless feel himself conscien-
tiously bound to adhere. The subject, as we
have said, is of vital importance to the Em-
pire, and therefore we heartily rejoice in
stating that many distinguished Members of
the Church, knowing that THE Sus will
always be a free channel for their efforts in
support of our Ecclesiastical Establishment, have
promised us a zealous, strenuous, and persevering
co-operation,

WESTMINSTER ELEcTiom.—Yesterday a Dinner
was given to Mr. lloationsa by many of the
Electors of the Parishes of St. James and St•
Anne, at the Crown and Anchor. A Mr. ADAMS
was the Chairman. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT sat on
his right hand, and Mr. HoanousP. on the left.
Mr. HOBHOUSE was the chief Speaker, and, as
usual with all Candidates who court popularity,
he was very liberal in professions and (monists.
As a proof of the political principles of the Com-
pany, " The Marseilluis Hymn," the great symbol
of Revolutionary triumphs, horror and carnage,
was twice sung, " amidst the loudest shouts of
applause." Surely such a Person as a Major in
the British Service, who *as present, ought
to have recollected the dreadful events which
occurred in France at a time when this An-
them of Anarchy first deafened all loyal ears, and
outraged every humane heart ! ! Among the toasts
was the following--" May the ROYAL FAMILY
never lorget that they owe their Legitimacy to the
voice of the People." It is no unfair construc-
tion of this toast, retelling to the character
of the Meeting, and the principles of the
leading parts of the company, to conclude
that it implies, that the. Royal Family should
depend on Annual Elections nod Universal Sufrage.
The rest of the toasts .and sentiments were all in
favour of persons who are likely to maintain si-
milar doctrines ; and the Meeting altogether was
a mere detnocratical Festival, which affords an-
other proof of the freedom of the Country in
which such Assemblies are held without impedi-
ment, though calculated to corrupt the minds of
the People.

Harnithrgh and Dutch Mails, with intelligence
to the 23d instant, have arrived. The King of
FRANCE has allowed the return of another of the
Ex-Genetals to France ; Marshal SoULT and
AaNAL,D are also, it is presumed, "on the eve of
beiog both re-called ; and, in short, it seems'br-
lieved that the remainder of the Itevolutionists
and Napolrouists now exiled in Europe Will he
legitimatised by the new era of the Coronation.
Count Las CAsAi, profiting by this spirit of am-
nesty, has pnidished an Appeal to the British
Parliament, to induce them-to listen with more
complacency to the complaints of BIIoNAPARTE,
and, by allowing that personage to reside free,
either in the United Kingdom or North America.

is the amount of Bank-notes circukting in Den-

THE QUEEN'S WILL.

It will be recollected, tliat in the QUEEN'S

Will two lists were referred to, which, however,
did not appear. The Executors in the so' joiot d
Declaration, filed yesterday in the proper Coin t,
explain the cause of this omission :

Appeared pet sonally the Right Hon. Charles George Lord
Arden, and Herbert Taylor, of Windsor, in the county of
Berks, Esq., and being duly sworn to depose the truth, made
oath that they are the Executors named in the last will and
testament of her Most Excellent Majesty Charlotte Queen of
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland deceased,
hearing date the 16th day of November, in the year of one
Lord MS. And the appearer, Herbert Taylor, for himself
saith, that immediately after the execntistn of the said will
by her said Most Excellent Ntajesty, it was delivered to hint
for safe custody; and he thereupon sealed up the same, in
the presence of her said Majesty, in an envelope, from which
it bad been taken for the purpose of being executed as afore-
said ; and the said will remained so sealed up in his posses-
sion until the death of her said Majesty, which happened on
Tuesday, the 17th day of November, 1818. And both the
appearers for themselves, that on the following day, to wit,
the IStli day of the said month of November, the said will
was opened and read by them ; and they then observed the
following clauses, in the seventh page of the, said will, viz.
—" Having brought from Mecklenburg various property, as
specified in the List No. I, annexed to this my last will and
testament, it is my wish and desire, and my last will and
pleasure, that such property shall revert to the house of li
Mecklenburgh-Strelitz., and I direct that it shall be sent
back to the senior branch of that house."

" I give and bequeath, as specified in the list No. 2, an-
nexed to this my last will and testament, to be paid out of
the value of my persoual property within six months after
