• DEFERRED STOCK
Of the 22d March, I 3iii

. 93 f, --c."

New York Papers were received this morning-,
two days later than the last arrival. The fol-
lowing is from the Philadelphia Gazette of the

10th June :

" Our Correspondent at Newburyport informs
us of the arrival at that place of the brig Foihir~x,
from Aux Cayes. Captain Cool( states, that the
day he left Aux Cayes there was a'report that
the City of Carracas was sunk by an earthquake.
It was not known what credit this report was
entitled to."

Letters. from St. Thomas, dated 15th June,
report that the Independents on the Spanish
Main have agreed to the propositions of the
Cortes, and have settled the differences be-
tween them.

—THE Fusns.--:This is Settling Day, at the
Stock Exchange, but we, do not hear, up to the
present hour (one o'clock), of any failures hav-
ing taken place. The Funds through the whole
of the account have been rather stationary, and

the fluctuations hive not been more than from
to one per cent. It is expected that after the
business of this day the Funds will improve.

Every real Friend to THE QUEEN, as well as
to Justice, must sincerely regret to see her fal-
len into the hands of such weak and foolish Ad-

visers. Indeed it might almost be thought that
they were playing a treacherous part, and en-
deavouring to expose her to disgrace and ruin, if

it were not notorious that those Advisers are
chiefly induced by their own vanity
,to cling to
her, in order to raise themselves into public no-
tice. These mischievous Friends, but in reality
dangerous Enemies, must 'lmre induced her to re-
move from abroad, where 'she would have been
amply provided for, and where her reception would
have depended on her own conduct. If that
conduct had been correspondent with her new
dignity as QUEEN, she would doubtless have ex-
cited respectful attention in all quarters, and
have had full means to gratify that benevolent
disposition which is attributed to her, and which
we have no reason to believe is attributed un-
justly. The same evil Counsellors then advised

her to demand an immediate and open trial, and
afterwards to give intimation of her readiness to
listen to pacific overtures: When the desire of

preserving tranquillity in the Country induced
Ministers to attend to such overtures, contrary to
the plan on which they had determined to act,
and which truth, justice, and sound policy re-
commended, she was then persuaded, under all•the
suspicions which hung over her character, to de-
mand the restoration of her name in the Liturgy.
Then she was advised to renew her demand of an

immediate trial, and soon after to request time
to bring 'witnesses for -her defence. The next
measure of inconsistency, as if she had totally
forgotten her application for time, was again.to
solicit a trial without the least delay. The
last injudicious act to which her silly advisers
prompted her was 'to demand that service of plate
which was only intended for her temporary use,
and part of which having belonged to King
WILLIAM fully evinced that it was consi-
dered as an Heir-loom to the Crown.—
The minute made I. the Loan CHAMBERLAIN
.when it was used by. her MAJESTY, during her
residence in Kensington Palace, viz.—" Here is
a list of ILts MAJESTY'S (the late KING) plate,
in loan to her Royal Highness the Princess of
WALES, residing in Kensington Palace," is a
plain proof that It was actually nothing but a loan,

while she resided in one of the Royal Palaces,—
. If her MAJESTY thought it was her own property)
why did she not reserve it when she left that
Palace ? It is too valuable for her to be indifferent
to the possession of it. The fact is plain, that her
MAJESTY had no right even tO the use of it, un-
less she inhabited one of the Royal PalaeeS.
We would willingly believe that her silly ad,
visers prompted her to demand-this plate, know-
ing tho benevolenceof het disposition, and hop-
ing that they might have some share of it as trio
butes of kindness from her, but the whole of their
conduct chews that they want to keep up the
spirit of Party, to excite popular clamour, and if
possible to lessen the esteem, respect, and loyalty
due to THE SOVEftEiGN. It is well known that
any attempt at Recrimination would, be repulsed
with disdain by the Legislative -Bodies, but from
the rumours afloat, we have no doubt that
her MAJESTY'S indiscreet and rash, yet insidious,
Advisers will recommend such a measure.
Our Readers will recollect that we alluded some
time ago to a Letter said to have been written
by his MAJ ESTY to his Consort, at an unguarded
moment, and expressed in such a style as, could
only proceed from an unreflecting mood, has been
cautiously preserved, under the notion that it
might be useful at a-future period. To this Let-
ter her Advisers, it is said, often allude, and hold
it in terrorwn to be produced in case of necessity.
Surely as her MAJESTY is understood to possess
good sense, she will rouse herself, and throw
off her present unsuitable connexions. She can
never want friends among a higher order
who give her credit for innocence, and who will
strenuously assist her endeavours to make that
ianorencestnanifest to the world at large. _ We
are surprized to see The British Press of this
day, 'notwithstanding, th'e satisfactory explanation
given by Lord• CASTLEREA4H last night, stating,
that the service of plate was " received as a
present from
,the -late King," and expressing a
hope, that "the complaint would have been re-
moved out of doors;". what, by giving to her
MAJESTY what actually belongs to the Urown ?
The Times, but what will not The Times say, to
vent - its rancour against Government, says this
day, " The treatment which she has received
with respect to the plate given her by his late
MAJESTY, and which she had herself consigned
to the Lord Chamberlain's Office, but which is
now detained from lier, - are incidents not likely
to diminish the general fe:4ing irebehalf of an in-
sulted woman."—here The 'Times not only-treats
the explanation with contempt, but prestiMes"to

prejudge her cause, for it never can be known
whether she is an " insulted woman" before the
proceedings-of the trial and its solmn result aie
submitted to the world at large. As to her MA-
JESTY'S having " herself consigned it to the Loan
CHAMBERLAIN'S Office," it is a proof that she did
not'consider it as belonging to her, and therefore
obeyed the honourable impulse of her mind, in sur-
rendering it back to the proper authority. We
trust that she would act from the same honour-
able feelings in her future conduct, if she were
to cast off her present Advisers " like a detested
sin." Here we, of course, need not disclaim all
allusion to Messrs. BROUGHAM and DENMAN.

BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.-011 Saturday
last the Royal Assent was given to the Act to al-
low Timber, fit • for Naval purposes, to be im-
ported into Great Britain and Ireland, FREE 9F
DUTY, until March, 1821, from the King's Colo-
nies, in North America.

The assertion that British Ships can be built
and navigated cheaper than Foreign Ships, has
excited great surprise throughout all the Out-
'ports ; and the attempt about to be made to alter
the Navigation Act, in some of its most beneficial
bearings, will give rise to apprehensions and
alarms which will not soon be allayed.

The JIJ DGE-ADVOCATE-GENEICAL had an au-
dience of hits MAJESTY yesterday at Carlton
Palace.

The Duke Drc.tzus sat under the Gallery yes-
terday in the House of Commons, and heard the
Debate relative to the QUEEN'S Plate.
Lord CASTLEIVEAGII last night gave notice that
he wc,iuld, this evening, move for the adjournment
of the House of Commons on Monday -next.
We recommend to the public attention the're-
cent Report of " The Society for Propagating
the Gospel in Foreign Parts." It must prove a
high gratification. to the friends of Christianity to
see the efforts of thiS admirable institution so
liberally supported by persons of all denomina-
tions. The great increase of Members since the
Report of 1819 is very satisfactory and encou-
raging, and must stimulate to further exertions
the venerable. and learned Leaders of this Cor-
poration. Several recent Meetings have been
held on subjeots of the first importance, 'and we
have no doubt but that the succeeding Report of
the Society will prove even more gratifying than
the _present.

Yesterday Viscount CASTLEREAGH had an
audience of his MAJESTY, at his Palace, iu Pall-
mall.
