'fincerity: of her Majesty's professions can no
longer be, doubtful.- With all that liberality
of principle and magnanimity -of feeling which
made her protest against every attempt to check
the circulation of free opinion (when its object
was: sedition and blasphemy) as an offence against
'the Freedom of the Press, she has authorized
her Legal Advisers to prefer a Bill of Indict-
ment against The Morning- Post, as the prime
object of resentment, fur having dared to ex-
pregs:L honest, conscientious, and therefore
-unpalatable sentiments, on the merits of her
most unfortunate case. In such a cause, to suf-
fer would be glorious; for all the disgrace mad
oliuni.must fall on the party, which, proclaiming
all its past declarations false- and hypocritical',
Inakes- the expression of truth a ground for prose-
cution. To suffer, however, is not likely to be
our- fate, as long- as the good sense and, integrity
or a British J ury shall stand petween us and our
adversaries.• To twelve honest and
impartial ITIC:1:W e shall fearlessly entrust the sin-
tion of our conduct secure that when the
kujilec't receives that full investigation which a
'solemn trial alone can give it, there is not a single
an- who- will not find, that in all We have written
we were borne out by facts, by the precedents
of the Queen's own friends; and above all by th,.?
~epeated., verdicts of the highest, most dignified
and -honourable Tribunal on earth—the British
;House of Lords.

[Morning Chronicle.]
It was confidently. reported yesterday, that
.flotwithstanding the bravery of Lord Castlereag. h's
language, Ministers felt that they must yield to
the
eenefral voice of the, country, so loudly pro-
mouu.ced in favour of the restoration of. the
Queen', name to the Church Service. It was
saki that a new Collect was to be issued, in which
-her Majesty the Queen, and the Duke of York,
as Heir Presumptive to the Throne, were to be
prayed for by- name: her Majesty's name would
-pot,- by this device, be mentioned in. the same
paragraph with that of the King; and thiiis to
-be-considered as a salvo to Ministers, by which
they may remain in office, -with regard to their
repeated declaration, that they were to stand or
fall by the result of the Queens name being re-
stored to • the Liturgy ! We state this as the
rurnour of the day, to which we do not attach
much credit.

[New Times-.]
We hare learned with no small astonishment
that the Queen's Legal Advisers have ventured
to prr.,fer Bills of Indictment for alleged libels on
their immaculate Client ! -against The Courier
vrol Morning Post. All the world knowS how

much this illustrithis Lady is indebted. to the
t,Pfes.F. We -have 'seen Tirnes'Hone, and
.I.3eu:)ow, rivalling each other in zeal on her be-
half. We have witnessed her. warm acknosv-
it*.tnents of what she owes to their united la-
bours. In her various Answers to Addresses,
she•has avowed the most zealous attaelnuent. to

" tlfe Liberty of the Press." But it seems that
this liberty 'must be all on one sale. There
most be, as Lord Castlereagh says, a right of
free 'warren and chase in favour of the Queen
and her adherents, to scandalize; vilify, a.nd de-
fame -every thing honourable in the land; but no
retort is to be' allowed. The defenders of the
Constitution' must not dare to breathe a syl-
lal)fv.. If they do, ferocious mobs shall
be set on. to pull down their houses, and
thr, etrict• letter of the law shall be enforced
Itgaiiit their persons and their property.—
It had beedhope...l that after the withdrawing of
-the Bill on one side, and the vast Parliamentary
Majorities in favour of Government on the other,
'ribE. painful question Of the Queen's conduct would
haVe..been suffered to lecp..;• but. no ! it must be
dewed _again before the public by these men-
strong presecutionS: What Must he the con's.e-
quence ? Will not the Government- be driven in
self-d'eferice to Prosecute those daring instances'
of which it has hitheitO
.passed over
with a inagnaninfous, indulgence'-The Govern-
a-m.14.11as forboi-ne. to strike that daily magazine
of scandal and sedition, The Times; but can it
•noreforbear to dr,ig:the skulking director of that
infanonS JOUrnal, to lit;ht, and visit on him the,
aCcrnitu:afed penalties of his perlinaciOus guilt ?

[T'e Times.)
As the time •for Mr. John Smith's motion
draws oh, various reports are in circulation res-
poc.ting the probability of the insertion of the
Queen's name in the ,Liturgy.. in one respect
that honourab:e gentleman's motion has a prefe-
reh-ca over those by-Which it has-been Preceded—
that it avoids circUrniocution and inference, and
dad-, the•subiect, as it were, de nova, it
ti:7:'(::;Ps the universal wish of the nation„
that tlie•Q .m ;:y be restored to the prayers of
the. (lure it has been said of the other mo-
tions7---we,, indeed, think erroneously--Jhat they
were insidious, rmd that, as the -resignation of
the :Ministers must have ensued from the success
of the Motions, it would have been more can-
did - to have called at 'once for their. dismissal
yet how, we ask, could the House of Commons
call fer the:. dismissal of those servants of the.
Crown whose conduct had been genera!ly ap-
proved by the house ?'and though Miuistersthem--
selVes rnig;it'pout and threaten to resign if the tho-
tions.were carried, it does not-follow, either fron-
the.experience of the past, or from a mere spe-
culative view of the minds and characters of the:
-Ministers, that those 'is:her-nide the motions shbuld
have been of the same , It is possible to'
conceive; at least, that the motions Might have
been carried,- and yet • Ministers have dung to'
their places. The present motion, however, is:
not• liable to excite that dreadful apprehension
-of contingut rn:schief„ that if carried, the foreig-n-
-despatches 'may be no_ longer written by the
grEtturcalical and elegunt-pen of 'a Castlereaii,it
it tray, therefore, supported, we suppose, by
all who simply wki.. for 'the peace Of the uatiou
