SOLEM QUIS DICERE t%LSUM AUPCAT

LONDON*,
'IL Y, JUNE. 26, 1 17,

Wu received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. They ICIT' barren of in.
tolligence. Some decorations 'of the Legion of
Honour have been bestowed Upon individuals who
were active in suppressing the late Riots. The
Government of flrtirtemberg, in consequence of
jfi the scarcity of provisions, have most absurdly
resorted to that highly mischievous measure, a
maximum, it appearing by these Journals that a
decree. has been issued there, fixing the highest:
price IR which grain, &c. shall be sold. Had it not
been for the details thus given, we could scarcely
have believed in the probability of a Government,
at this period, pursuing so utterly mistaken a po.
licy.—The following are extracts
Palm, JUNE 23.—Yesterday, at St. Cloud,
his Majesty, after mass, received the Spanish Am-
bassador, some of the Ministers, the Marshals, &c.

of respectable Ecclesiastics, are to be organized.
in the capital, and the principal cities of the
Kingdom, to regulate the subsidies to be tarnished

Imprudent Monks, who. endeavoured to raise, an
outcry against the measures of Government, have
been 00 ed."

The New York .Idcertiser of the 2Gth May says,

A Spanish brig, prize to the Montezuma pri-
Meer, arrived at Ensinada 29th March ; and two
other Spanish brigs, which the Montezuma cap•
turgid off Cape St. Vincent's in November, ar-
rived in the River Plate the eud of March.

The subject of the Debate last night, in the
[louse of Commons, was Lord SIDMOOTit's
Circular Letter, which has excited so touch viru-
lent and senseless clamour on the part of Opposi-
tion. This subject was introduced by Sir SAMUEL
110 MILLY, in an elaborate Speech, in which the
Honour-Able Member attempt dto support his ob-
jections by legal authorities, but those authorities
were effectually refuted by others brought forward
•by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, who fully justified
the measure adopted by the Noble Viscount.
The arguments of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL were
strongly and satisfactorily supported by. the SOLI-
CIToR-GENERAL, and therefore our Readers might
justly charge ris • with the highest' v;t4ri-ty and
presumption if we attempted to proceed farther
on the subject. IVe rtiti3r, however, observe, that
Lord SIDIKOLITH took every possible precau-
tion before he issued the Letter in questron, by
consulting the Law Officers of the Crown, and that
he issued it under their full authority. Lord SID-
tIOTH therefore, though be,may incur the veninn
of party, will be esteemed and admired by all
loyal and good men, for laving so promptly en-
deayopred to check the course of TEEAioN and
BLAsPIIEMT, which otherwise would have- been‘.
in rapid circulation all over the kingdom. In the
course of his bpreCh Sir SAMUEL ItoMILLY stated
that Sir HENRY SPELMAN Lad said, " that the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL TR* to advocate THE CM:MN
as motley its possible." We presnare*to conceive,
towever, that the foundation, or, at least, what
ought to have been the foundation of the office,
was to expound and support Tut 144W'upon Ell
occasions, as well as to defend the rigbiS OCTRE
CROWN and we may fairly add that, whatever
might be the eonduet 'of Attornies-General in
Fortner tithes, no such mean subserviency to Tt,B
Caowtv• would' be practised or required in the
present enlightened period. The high estimation
in which the character of the ATrolteY-eratittaal.
i's universally and most deservedly held, for know-
ledge out!-abilities, render all panegyric on him
.whollyuoneeessary; but as the 50146-Fon-cute atm.
is. new in his office, we may bg allowed to say,,that,
in the opinion of both sides of the House,hisSpeech
last night was supported by more solid° arguments,
and more unaffected eloquence, than have for many
years been heard in Parliament: -it was deliver-
ed with fervour, brit without violence, and with
an animation and firmness that could, only result
'iron) conscious. truth and. rectitude. •

LEEDS, Jt:NE :N.—Six more Rioters from the
neighbourhood of Huddersfield have phased this
town to•night, under an escort of cavalry, on

their why. fo York Castle. The lower orders are
at prescut better employed, and more generally,
than for mouth; past. if this employioeut should
contiout, and we are blessed with a plcotiful
harvest, there can be little doubt but that the
great bulk ut the people here will cast off tbelr

political mania, even if a Rcformiv Baronet should
attempt to shake the constitution by adtoinisterlog
Jacobihical hlBßcuaY.
