at present, it is highly disgraceful to the Ameri-
can Government, and would have roused the
people of this Country into a flame in former
times. But Ministers are wisely disposed to hear
all, and then let Justice hold the scale. This is
the true rule of action with sound Statesmen, and
we hope our Ministers will always act upon the
sat prudent principle.

We have beard nothing more than we yester-
day stated on the subject of Mr. Peet's resigna-
tion, except, indeed, that as the Catholics of he-
land have resolved to pursue their object with un-
abated zeal, and as their friends on this side of
the water are said to have promised them assist-
auce and even to flatter them with hopes of suc-
cess, it has been thought necessary that au Anti-
Catholic Party should be formed, in order to sup-
port the Constitution in Church and Stare,
and to raise an eternal bar against the
further inroads of POPERY. It cannot be too
often repeated, that as the Roman Catho-
lics throughout the British Empire enjoy all
possible toleration in point of Religion, they have
no right to complain, and cannot, upon any prin-
ciple of reason and policy, require more. THa
CORONATION OATH iS Against them, as well as
every indispensable guard of the Constitution ; and
the people of this Protestant Country would never
consent by their Representatives to .suffer that
Constitution to be endangered by the admission
of Papists into any share of Legislative Power.

The Jack Tar, --, arrived from Jamaica,
whence she sailed 13th June. On the 18th was
brought to by the General Arismandi, Captain BE-,
LACKE, who asked a few questions, and then or-
dered her to make sail ; on the 23d, was brought
to by the Generous Santa Martha, of Buenos
Ayres, who convoyed her front of} Cape 'Maze to
the West end of Heneaga, as he said there were
a, great many small schooners on the coast plun-
dering merchant vessels.

The Victory Steam Boat, from London to Mar-
gate, full of passengers, was obliged, on Wed-
nesday last, to take shelter in Whitstable Bay,
not being able to make way against a strong
Nortb-East wind. We have not heard that any
accident happened to her, but the passengers were
all most dreadfully sea-sick, and completely tired
of their long voyage, having been all night at sea.
She arrived safe at Margate at 10 o'clock on
Thursday morning.

The state of atrai.rs, as we learn this day, and
before stated, is gradually improving at Stock-
port, hut remains much as they were at Manches-
ter. It is hoped, however, that the example of
the former place will soon be folio,xed by the de-
luded people at the other.

• THE QUEEN.-Her MAJESTY'S health, we are
extremely happy to say, continues to improve.
On Thursday evening, at six o'clock, her MA-
JESTY left 'New Palace, awl rode out in her gar-
den chair, in the beautiful pleasure grounds at-
tached to the Palace, drawn by her favourite
poney, guided by her coachman. The Duchess
of GLOucetrea walked by the side of litT beloved
mother. The Princess AUGUSTA followed, 'Can-
ing on the arm .of Sir FRANCIS Mil-MAN. They
weir: attended by. two Royal footmen. Her MA-
JESTY continued her ride for upwards of au hour.
She appeared very cheerful,
.and much refreshed.
On Thursday morning the Countess of CARDIGAN
visited her MAJESTY. At the same time the
Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess Au-
eiusT4 rode out in an open carriage.—(Court
Circular.)

Miss TOCKER.—We lately gave an account of a
trial in which ibis Lady was the defendant. She
spoke for upwards of two hours, and was very
much attended to by the Court. Her income
being very limited, she was obliged to be her
own Counsel; but the
.justice of her cause, and her
own powerful eloquence, secured her success. This
Lady is of a very respectable family, and her own
character has always been held in esteem. Her
extraordinary abilities have raised her into con-
siderable notice, and her company is now anxi-
ously courted in the firSt societies.

It has been errroneonsly stated that Madam
Da BERTIIAND had arrived in this country.—Sir
HUDSON Lowe sent home one of her female at-
tendants, who has already been ordered out of
this Kingdom.
