" Parliament has been further prorogned to the 29th of Ne-
vember; and a Council of Regency having been appointed, his.
Majesty left London, on Monday, for Ramsgate, whence he
was expected to embark yesterday for Calais. We rejoice in
the activity of the his obvious inclination .to let the
people see their Sovereign. His Majesty's recent journey to
Ireland, which, in point of fact, was any thing rather than a
jouriey of mere pleasure, has proved one of the wisest, one of Ca a
most satisfactory, and one of the most beneficial measures of
his reign. Independently of the pleasure which it has afforded
in this country, it has gladdened the hearts of thottsands—aYe,
of Milhoris—,.of his Irish subjects ; it has operated 'as a sa-
hitary stimulus to the warm affections, of -their frank and
generdus character; and, to the sister kingdom at large, it has
opened the door to improvements and advantages incalculable.
Loyal people love to see their King ; and, that the mass of the
population in England, Scotland, taad Ireland, are not deficient in
loyalty, is a truth which the disaffected part of the nation' feels
and acknowledges with bitterness. They are writhing in agony
and alarm, under the consciousness, that the ground is daily
becoming more and more rotten beneath the feet of their corrupt
and wicked leaders. The true spirit of the country, however,
has been admirably shewn, by the liberal subscription, raiL
in' testitnony 'of the forbearance, the cool firmness, the general
good conduct of the -Life Guards, on the memorable Iftle of
August. Nothing could evince a finer feeling of patriotism, un-
less it were the delicate, the respectful, the handsome
.manne:-,
in which those gallant soldiers declined the proffeied boon ;
tilledginge that they had simply performed their duty, to. Cr. .
correct and zealous discharge of which they stood pledged,
" under any circumstances, without looking to any other reward
than the provision which his Majesty had been graciously
pleased to make for them, and the approbation of their King
and Country."—.Sir Robert Wilson,. as appears: by Tuesday's
Gazette, has been dismissed from his Majesty's service ; dis-
missed, as is generally understood, for the part which he bore is
that unfortunate day, to which we have before alluded. Sir
Robert, among-St other misfortunes, labours under that of hav-
ing his cause advocated by the Old Times, in London, and Ly
the Radical Press of Paris. By the Litter, we are told that he
" has written to his Royal highness the Commander-in-Chief,
to desire an inquiry into his conduct before a competent
tribunal."—Another proof of the revival of sound thinking
amongst us, is found in the conviction, at the Lancashire
Assizes, of a man, prosecuted by the ConstitutiOnal Associa-
tion, fOr selling the " New Year's Address to Reformers ;"
the same libel for which Mary Ann Carlile is under prosecu-
tion in London.-We are old enough to remember Mr. Reeves's
Loyal Association for the-Suppression of Republicans and.
Levellers. We recollect, also, that 'that Society, like the Con-
stitutional Association of the present day, was assailed with all
the venom of the disaffected Presi. The greatness of truth,
however, insured its triumph ; and Mr. Reeves's Asso-
ciation, in conjunction, as it may be considered; with ;hat
vigorous satire The Pursuits of Literature," with 44 The
Antijacobin Examiner," and with " The Antijacobin Re- ,

view"—the last of which is still in .exiatence, and in the hands
of a. very able conductoz--had. the proud satisfaction of contn.
buting to the salvation of the country. When time and space
will allow,, it is our intention to•offer some general remarks. on
the state of Europe : at present•we can only add, that Spain and
Portugal are in a very cntical state ; and that, with respcct to
the existing relations of Russia, Turkey, and Greece, nothing
can with certainty be affirmed."
