SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1819.

The Earl of CRAVEN has accepted the Lord
Lieutenancy of the County of Berks.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday last, %%lila were
tie this morning, have not arrived.

To such of our Reatrers, if there arc any, who
wish for the re-admission of the degenerate Whigs

into office, we recommend the review of their
conduct when in power, which will be found in an
article extracted from The Leeds Intelligencer of
the Stb inst.—(See the Ist page.)—The modern
Whigs have so obviously allied themselves with
the Radicals, as may be seen in their favourite Ga-
zette, The Morning Chronicle, that it would be
impossible to dissolve the connexion, if ever
they should be again in place, without entail-
ing ruin on themselves, and perhaps on the
Country. It is very well known that one of

the higher Whigs, who, from his rank, ought
to have better notions and better language, once
declared, that if the PRINCE REGENT rejected
some unreasonable requisition, he hoped the time
would come when he might " ride rough-shod

through Carlton House." We do not recollect
what the exact nature of the requisition was, but
we believe it was a measure in favour of the Roman
Catholics. And here it may be proper to ob-
serve, that probably the first measure which

the Whigs would be likely to propose, if they could
obtain an ascendancy in the Cabinet, would be in
support of what is styled Catholic Emancipation,
or, in fact, to invest POPERY with all the rights
and privileges which at present belong to the Mem-
bers of the Establisher; Church. We earnestly
wish that the Roman Catholics may always enjoy
a free toleration of their religious Worship in these
realms, but Heaven forbid that they should ever
be suffered to participate in Political Authority.

There was a Meeting at Stafford on the Bth
inst. for the purpose of considering the propriety
of increasing the Armed Force of the County, and
of the hest means for accomplishing the purpose.
No Reporter was permitted to be present ; but
The Morning Chronicle, to atone for the disappoint-
ment, contrived to obtain a copy of the Letter.
which Sir CHARLES WoLseLey addressed to the
Meeting, deprecating the measures which were to
he discussed, without hearing the arguments pro
or con, and introducing a due proportion of Radical
abuse against the Manchester Magistrates, with the
usual exaggerations of Party, on the late transac-

lions at that place. The statement of The Morn-
ing Chronicle, and the Letter in question, was of
course to•day copied in The (Old) Times, which
scorns to be outdone in disaffection by The Chronicle;
but as if the former Paper was unwilling to bear
the whole odium of the insertion, it mentions it as
having been derived from The Chronicle. The (Old)
Times, of course, praises Lord ANSON", because
he was not averse to the admission of a Reporter-
who-was likely to be partial, and because he was
hostile to the objects of the Meeting, but all the
Speeches of the other Noblemen and Gentlemen
present were dispatched in a few words.--Such is
the candour, impartiality, and public spirit, of
that Radical Gemini, The Mourning Chronicle., and
The (Old) Times. The following Resolutions,
however, were adopted on the occasion, and they
are so timely and judicious, that we hope the
example will be followed-throughout the United
Kingdom, in order to preserve it from Reforming
Rebels:—

That in the opinion of this Meeting, it is in the present
state of the County highly expedient that the utmost exer-
tions should be used to render effectual aid to the civil power,
in case of the disturbance of the peace.

That an augmentatiOn of the Yeomanry Cavalry of the
County be recommended to the Colonel of that Regiment,
and that.the respectable householders and farmers in the se-
veral Towns and Parishes be invited to enroll themselves
therein, and to offer their services to the officers command-
ing troops in their respective neighbourhoods.

That the Gentlemen of properti and influence in the

County be likewise requested to use their WI/unit exertions ID
forwarding the object of the above Resolution.
That, insomuch as the original Fund for raising the coY'
ruanry has been long since exhausted, in order to ,keeP °F
the Establishment, and to effect the proposed Auginentatl
of the Regiment, a Subscription b erect into fur Ilia
purpose.

It is observed in 77;(01d) Timis of this dal'
that " the opinions which public men give 11t
each other, at different periods of their political
lives, ought not to be too strictly scrutinized;
they are always the best who best serve our pre'
sent purpose." The first part of this obser
vation might be considered as a maik of °lv,
dour, if it came from any other quarter bat
the Paper in question, but, so considered, it•
may be regarded as a subtle plea- for itP
own versatility, as it has praise:l and abused
almost every public charac.er in the Kingdnsn'
as it suited its '' present purpose," to adopt its•
own words.—We could not, however, give 0°
assent to the latter part of the observation, even
if it came from a source as much deserving of re'
spect as The (Old) Times is of a contrary send.
tent, for those public men are not "al ways
the best who best serve our present purpose 1' i
but those whose sound judgment enlighteoeg
views, and pine principles trill enable them (11
suggest and promote measures for the permanent
welfare of a Country. But the obiectionabl°
passage is exactly suited to the politics and Prin'
ciples of The (Old) Times, which has always 11
" present purpose" in view, and which, after having
received favours from public men,will readily bell's/
their former confidence, and expose their name"
when it no longer receives that confidence, or has
been indignantly rejected. Such has been thecondoci
of the Paper in question, upon several occasions'
but particularly in the instance of a Nobleman
now in office, who discharges the duties of his
office, with a degree of firmness, blended with
dignified courtesy, Which has procured him lb.
esteem of all who are friends to their Country'
and the rancorous hatred, or despicable ribald 4
of those only who are its enemies.

A separation has taken place between a Peer (1
the Realm, and his Lady, which it is hoped will
not long continue, as the friends of the parties
are endeavouring to bring about a reconciliation'
The character of the female is irreproachable; the
disunion arises solely from caprice. •
Letters are received from Genoa, dated 30th
ult., by which we learn that a most tremendo"s
gale from the S.W. was experienced there on
night of the 27th, and morning of the 28th idea"
with a very high sea, which broke over the o'o
mules, the city walls, and the different wharfs,
and at times rushed through the city gates to $
considerable distance. His Majesty's ship Spry
was in a most perilous situation during the gale'
which was so violent that no boat could live: ill
consequence of which, although she had &red $
gun as a signal of distress, so assistance could be
rendered to her ; she parted from two cables, b""
in the morning, when the gale moderated, she was
t
moored in a place of safety by some boats %Odei'
had been sent to her. It blew another diva&
gale on the night of the 29th and morning of the
30th, but no material injury was sustained.
