iy resisted the efforts of Inday Whig Avnis,
‘vho have been endeavouring to instigate
firer to what they style a proper assertion of her
rights. fa our opinion, nothing hasty should be
adopted on a subject which, on the one hand,
Cannot be productive of any national advantage,
and Which, on the other, would only tend to en-
coinage the hopes of faction, to render the do-
Inestio concerns of the highest family in the State
ton familiar to mankind, and to stimulate the
hatred against all legitimate authority which so
essentially marks the character and conduct of
that combination of Modern Ifhigs and Radical
Reformers, whose chief aim seems to have no
object at heart so dear to them as the de-
gradation of Royalty and the downfal of
Thrones.. --We aix by no means surprised that the
1)!rson principally interested in the question should
have manifested such prudence on the suggested
Noposal of an enquiry, and we shall be happy to
hid, that whenever, if ever, such enquiry may be
eeern.d unavoidable, the same prudence shall in
the result appear to have so characterized her ac-
tions, as to silence suspicion, falsify accusation,
and attest the purity of calumniated innocence.

SIR JOHN LIACH.—II is said that tiri+ Gentle-
loan has recently been admitted into the Itoybi
Confidence, and was chiefly instrumental in pro-
Posing those measures respecting a certain de-
licate subject which have received the sanction
of !►is MAJESTY, and confirmtul that harmony
happily for the Country, has so long sub-
•isted between the KING and his Constitutional
advisers.

The British Press of this day, says " The Trea-
'tiry Prints have at length acknowledged the su-
perior information of the Opposition Papers, with
respect to the occurrences that recently took
Place in the Cabinet Upon the consideration of a
certain topic of extreme delicacy"—" they ad-
ini't that considerable difference of opiniorr pre-
c°iled in the Cabinet upon the subject to
winch we allude, and that his MAJESTY sub-
kitted his own wishes and feelings upon this
interesting subject to the sentiments expressed
by the Legal and Constit u.iottal advisers of the
Cr"rl.l' Now as The British Press has of•en
uteluded us among " the Treasury Prints," and,
It'attachment to a PITT Administration mt—its

.a designation, we pit ad go:iiy, we answ:r
for ourselves that we never old admit " the supe-
rior infortwition of the Opposition Piy•.rt3"
" thesubject in question ; but insisted
the little li
be kelihood there was that they should

etn the piestion, unless, .4s we ywere
indebted to treachery. Was it to be suppoFen
'kat Cabinet Ministers would violate the sanc:i:y
of 411 oath to give information on matters of
such essential importance to a comm Newt.pa-
-1)" ?' The fact is impossible, and die bor,s4 of
itlf()rtnation in any such quarter was delusion, and
"ithlbldent attempt on public credulity, which
We had in the first instance resolutely re-
Pelled4----The British Press, which we have long
considered as the only legitimate Paper upon
true OPPOSITION PRINCIPLES now extant, has
411 Warily, on this occasion, paid a compliment to
the Ministers as well as to his MAJESTY, for it
admits that they have had the firmness to act
es Legal and Constitiftional advisers of the
r"11" even in opposition to " the feelings anti
Ivlshes" Of HS MAJESTY, and that his MAJESTY
b°4lY sacrificed those wishes and feelings to the
sentiments of those Ministers, upon a question on
ti
ral4len he must have beets strongly interested,
dether than adopt any measures which might he
