contains, not only an appeal to the mother country
for assistance, but a complaint that none has been
sent, notwithstanding all the sacrifices made by the
besieged to maintain their fidelity to the Royal
cause. Ships are represented as the chief requi-
site, and it is fairly announced that if no libera-
ting squadron arrives, the contest must terminate
in the ruin of Lima, and " the American pro-
vinces of the South, and, in, the sequel, those of
the North must be renounced." After such a
statement, the Spanish people cannot be much
surprised if the next advices should inform them
that Lima had actually fallen.

[NEW TIMES.]
The particulars stated in another part of our
paper, under the head of " THE QUEEN," leave
so little prospect of her Majesty's recovery from
the -violent illness with which she has been at-
tacked, that we apprehend, if she has not al-
ready breathed her last, the fatal event cannot
be many hours distant. At such a moment, to
recall any.of the bitter and angry feelings which
have unfortunately been connected With this
Illustrious Lady's name in the course of the last
fourteen months, is very far indeed from our in-
clination. We cannot think of any human being,
in the awful situation in which she now lies, but
with sentiments of pity, and with a deep sense of
the infirmities of our common nature. Should
she, as is more than probable, be taken away from
this mortal scene, we trust that with her will
perish the dissentions of which she was the cause
or the' pretence. We trust that we shall not
be called upon to, revive the memory of occur-
rences over which, On so many accounts, it is de-
sirable to draw the veil of oblivion. Let all
classes and all parties now unite in loyalty and
affection to one of the most patriotic Sovereigns
that ever sat on the British throne. A worthy
example is held out, in the conduct of the Protes-
tants and the Catholics of Ireland. No two parties
could be more bitterly set against each other, than
they lately w.ere : and yet the flame, of loyalty
has suddenly caused all their animosities to
subside, and ' has melted every sentiment
into one general delight at the expected pre-
sence of a beloved Monarch. So let it be through-
out the Empire. Let us forget the foolish and•
improper distinction of King's men and Queen's
me►► ; and if any evil-disposed individuals, to
serve their own selfish interests, or to gratify
their own malignant passions, should attempt to
plant the banner of discord on the grave of the
Queen, let us with one voice reprobate the un-
worthy artifice, and treading lightly over the
ashes of the deceased, stand firm and united in
'the common cause of our King and Country.

It is said that an Austrian Diplomatist has
been in this country, with proposals for an al-
liance, offensive and defensive, between this
country and Austria, to prevent the acquisition
of Turkey by the Emperor Alexander ; but that
he has returned re infects. It is of course
impossible for us to assert the negative of
this statement, for if any such event had
taken place, it is not likely that his Majesty's
Government would have thought fit to com-
municate it to us or to any one else ; all, there-
fore, that we can fairly say, is, that we disbe-
lieve the tale. W e believe the Allied Powers
understand each other too • well to render such
an Embassy necessary ; but if the Emperor of
Russie,had gone such lengths in a project of inde-
pendent ambition as to justify the alleged pro-
posal on the part of Austria, the British Go-
vernment could not possibly have looked upon
it with indifference.—( Ibid.)
