Loss OF THE HELEN OE GREENOCIL—the brig-
Helen, Keer, sailed from. Buccari, in the Gulf of
Venice, 7. miles from Giume, on the Bth' of. Se-
ptember, laden with timber, for Ports Mouth dock-
yard, acid experienced very heavy weather the
whole of the passage. On the 17th, at 4 o'clock
in the morning,about 130 miles N.E. of Ushant, as
she was scudding, a sea broke into her over her .
tafrail, and completely broke all the beams of
her quarter-deck, carried away her mizen-
mast, and washed two men overboard, who
were lost, together with all the boats. The master
and all hands were soon on deck, afterbeing
nearly drowned below. 'l'be mainmast was .di-
rectly cut away to wear her, as she had broached
too. She soon beCtune full of water, and all
hands had to look out fOr their immediate pre-
servation ; some lashed themselves to the stump
of the mainmast, and others got into the fore-
rigging ; at length she got .so settled, that
411 were obliged to secure themselves in the
fore-top. The master was so exhausted from fa- .
tigue, that he was obliged to be hauled up under
the top, for they could get him no further, where
he, was lashed, and about four r.m. he expired.
About nine A.M. of the 18th, a French brig
took the survivors (nine in number) from the
foretop, about eight leagues from Cherbourg., and\
left the master dead. She carried theth to Cher-.
bourg, and they arrived at Portsmouth on Monday
all in good health, hitt with the loss of every
article belonging to them. They remained on
the wreck with.nothing but their shirts, except
the second mate and a boy.

A Frankfort article states, that news had been
received from Berlin which had caused a great
sensation in that part of Germany. The. Em-
peror Alexander is said to have withdraWn- from
the English the privilege which they have hitherto
exclusively enjoyed, of supplying Russia with
clothing ; and to have conferred-it on a CoMpany
of Prussian manufacturers. " This decision of

the Russian Monarch will," it is said, " give new-
life to the cloth manufactures of. Silesia and the
other countries of 6i-el-many. It is calculated
that England will lose by the change several

millions." There does not appear •to be'sufhci
eft-anthority for this intelligence to entitle it Eo
much attention.

[OMEN EXTRACTS rIttr.ITEIE MORNING PAPERS.]

[Morning Chronicle.]
The rumour, still continues of the desire ex-
pressed by`the Earls of Liverpool 'and Harr°Why
to retire from the Cabinet- The Noble Lord at
the heed of theTreasnry is said to have declared_
that he could not concur in.anygeneral declara-
tion against the Queen, of the nature saagested
bji Lord Ellenborough ; and if his colleagues en-
tertain any stath purpose, lie will certainly re-
sign—though e'very meatisloree been resorted to,
in the highest quarters, to *unlace him to change
his resolution.,
.We stated, some days ago, that
it, is contrary to all modern practice to prorogue ,
during an adjournment of the two [louses., Both
Mi. Speaker and Mr. Cowper haVe declared that
there is' no precedent for it in recent -times ; and
we believe that the: two Houses will meet on the
c2:l(l,'when the Prorogation will take place. Any.
attempt made in the House of Lords to cast a
reslexion on her Majesty, would- serve only to
steep the Rump of the king's Ministers deeper
in obloTty. But they will, scarcely attempt a
measure so dangerou4. It would give the blouse
of' Commons time for discussing a proposition
that would certainly be made, and which they
will strive to prevent
,by an immediate Message
to attend the King's Comtnissiouers, at the Bar
cf the Lords.
A motion wits made yesterday in the Court of
King's Bench, which involveS a queStion of the
highest constitutional importance, Its -Objeet
was'to obtain a new trial in a case of conviction
ler a blasphemous libel,' upon the ground of the
J:iige, Mr. Justice Best, several times inter-
posing and fining the defendant, in the course of
his defeucu, for constructive contempts, which
consisted of what the Judge deemed offensive
observations. The Court granted a 'Rule nisi,.
with a view to ascertain whether thedefendant,
in point of fact, was intimidated by the repeated
tinea iinposed upon him, bufat the same time gave
it as their opinion, that a Judge at Nisi Prins
has the power of thus, fining a defendant, and
that no other Court-can take cognizance of the'
act. It this be law, it is incumbent upon some
independent Member of Parliament to bring in
a Bill to deprive the Judges of this dangerous
power. It does not appear, that any other instance
is known 'of such power having been 'exerted ;
and Mr. Justice Best will have the honour of
setting the precedent. It is easy to conceive
cases in which such a. power might-be applied to
the most dreadful purposes, During the sittings
of die infernal Revolutionary Tribunal in 1793,
a similar practice was frequently adopted to sup-
ply victims for the guillotine. It, is contended,
in support of Mr. Justice Best's conduct, that
Courts of Nisi Prius being Courts of Record,
all their incidents attach, among 'which is the
power of fining and committing for contempts ;
but surely this must be understood of such con-
tempts as proceed from actual obstructions, or
the impertinent or disrespectful interruptions of
persons not parties to pending suits ; and this
doctrine cannot be held to apply to constructive
con tempts arising from observations made by a
defendant, which, to the presiding Judge, may be
unpalatable. In all prosecutions, whether for
blasphemy or offences against the State, unless
a defendant suffers judgment to pass against him
by nil (licit, topics, of necessity, must be intro-
duced, in,justification 'or extenuation of the im-
puted charges, which might subject the defen-
dant, in cases not punishable with death, to
penalties severer than those with which the law
would visit the crimes specified in the indict-
ment; if Judges are armed with this power.
(arbid.)-

[Morning Post.]
Both Houses of Parliament will re-assemble
on Thursday next, when an important communi-
cation;the nature of which it is unnecessary for
us at present to state, will be made to them. A.
prorogation will then take place. The first week
in February is the time mentioned for the meet-
ing Of the Great Council of the Nation, for the
dispatch of divers weighty and important affairs.

We have received advises from St. Thomas's
to a late date. The Orinoco Gazettes contain a
I,4te.r from General Morillo to the COngress of
Guayana, with the :answer from that Body, by
which.it appears that it is tint likely that matters
would be arranged between them, and the war
had re-commenced with renewed vigour. The
neighbourhood of St. Thomas's was infested by
privateers, which were constantly committing de-
predations. Three vessels, part of a convoy from
Tiayannah, had been captured by them, having
on board 3500 boxes of sugars, and 30,000 dollars
io doubloons. • A privateer was cruising on' La
Guayra, and annoying the trade in that quarter.
Bolivar had been preparing a flotilla on the Sa-
lina-River,,und had given the command to Gene-
ral Mona gas ; then left, but his destina-
tion was
,not known. The Republican troops
have attacked the Royalists in Guapy, Taimbi-
qui, and Zaija ; and after taking their Com-
mandant, and many other Prisoners, put the
whole to the rout.—(lbid.)

[The Times.]
We cannot learn that any answer has been re-
turned to her Majesty's demand of a Palace; but
public interest Will be gratified by the know-
ledge of the contents of her Majesty's letter,
which was to the following effect
He r Majesty's Vice-thanihi-riain informed Lard Liverpool
t Lat " b had her Majesty's commands to require from his
" Majesty's Government, that, without any !unifier deloy, a
" Palace and Establishment should be provided, suitable to
" tier Pilajcf.ty's rank In tliecountry m which she is now to
" reside.

this had been much ten long deferred, with a view
" either to the station uf her Majesty or the honour of the
" Crown; nevertheles,i, that in the circumstances of the time
" Majesty was overlook such delay.
" lint that it muss he evident that no further time ought
" to lapse without finally arranging this matter."t
Another subject of no less interest follows
Cannutes return is expected, we find, with some
earnestness. There have been parts in the poli-
tical conduct of that Gentleman; of which the

Nation certainly has not „highly approval ; butt, 1
we believe, he was never accused of having- given
her Majesty the advice to go abroad with any
sinister motives ; his intentions were benevolent,
though the result has been unhappy ; and it is
Certainly somewhat of a proof of the purity of
his own heart, that he neither foresaw, nor could
conceives the hideous advantage which would be
taken by others of her absence from -this her
own country, tie spies by• whom she would be
haunted, and the conspiracies which would be
hatched up against her. TheSe, however, are
now no longer matters of doubt • here, and here
only, canlier Majesty be :Death, or worse
than death, attends her elsewhere. Here she
is Queen. Mr. Canning bas.declared his grates-
ful attachment and respect for the Queen, and
the nation -has.•belieyed hint : he will not, there-
fore, counsel her to destruction. Her Ala
jests, we 'Understand, means •to attend Divine
service at liaminrrsmith Church on Sunday next ;
but we trust also, that her Majesty will, ere
long, take an opportunity of attending at the
great metropolitan temple, in order to return
thanks to Almighty God for her preservation, not
only from the late clink, and yet un fathomed, con-
spirzcy,,bitt from all the plots which have, during
a period of more than a quarter of a ceeLury,
been aimed at her life, as well as her honour and
royal dignity.

• [Nero 'I limes.]
We may now remind our fleaders in general,
and those who are friendly to the Queen in par,
ticular, that her conduct 'nti been decided upon,
not by a majority of 9, or by a majority of 28,
but by at least nine-tenths Of the House of Lords
agreeing that it was in many ways deserving of '
severe reprobation. We may remind them, that
those who thtis judged her were the most exalted
and venerable- characters in the kingdom; that
Her most clamorous defenders were of the lowest
and most infamous description ; that on ,the one
side were ranged high talent, spotless integrity,
and eminent piety; on the other vulgar ribaldry,
open sedition, and.notorious irreligion. Look at
the seditious Ansers to Addresses, look at the
treasonable Letter to the King. Are not these
The very language of desperate and detected
. Look,'on_the other side, at the mildness
and moderation of every speech that was deli-
veued, and every step that was taken, on the part.
of theGovbrtiment. Was this the language or
the conduct of persecutors ? The Bill has been
withdrawn for any reason but the Queen's inno-
cence; and now we are told she demands a Pa-
lace. She demand! We shall not stoop to re-
mark on the folly of this expression. But the
case may admit some illustration from what.
would happen in private life. Suppose a. private
gentleman's wife had been proved guilty of the
same conduct as the Queen, would any Court in
the world compel her husband either to take her
home to his own house, or to keep a separate
establishment for her on the same scale as if her
, conduct had been blameless-? - •

Although, in general, the country at large has
received, rather with surprise than with pleasure,
the intelligence of the fate of the late Bill, yet
we regret to say, that in one or two instances the
rabble, have,proceeded to audacious extremities
against those individuals, whom they considered
as hostile to the Queen. The. Morning Chronicle
of yesterday mentions a violent attack by the
mob of Aylesbury on the carriage of the Mar-
quess of Buckingham ; .and we have heard with
great sorrow that the excellent Bishop of Lan-
dau', a few hours after his arrival at Eweime, in
Oxfordshire, was greeted with the outrageous
assault of a furious mob, because he did not illu-
minate for the Queen's glorious acquittal. The
worthy Prelate's houSe was assaulted, hit win-
dows demolished, hiniself pelted with stones, and
his valuable life put in imminent jeopardy., Such
is the treatment experienced by a Bishop whose
efforts fur the good of his fleck have been earnest
and; unremitting ! Such are the feelings of at-
tachment to their spiritual Pastors which the
populace have iaibihed front the Radical parti-
sans of the Queen.—(lbiti.)

[Morning Herald.]
A Morning Paper of yesterday quoted several
law authorities, to prove that the late Bill could not
have passed upon the majority of nine—because
" in trials before Peers of Great Britain, there
must be a majority of at least twelve of the Peer-
triers."—The provision of the law, has, we be-
lieve, been understood to apply
.only to cases
strictly judicial,and not to cases where the pro-
ceeding is
_legiOative,lt applies to iivpirchc
mews, and not to Bills of Pains and Pen allies,
which Blackstone, consistently with hiS ONT,.lltoc-
trllle relative to such Bills, could not have cdn-
templated iu the passage quoted.

[British Press.]
We have occasionally endeavoured by gentle
means to recal certain writers for the Ministerial
prints to a sense of what they owe to the charac-
ter of their country and to their own reputation,
if they hope to maintain the rank and hearing of
gentlemen; we have reminded them from time
to time that their Patrons' cause could Aerivo
but little.support from indecency and scurrility,
and that they only insulted the taste of their
readers in treating them With language such as
would disgrace the precincts of Billingsgate.
We vmre at the same time ready to make every
allowance for the irritation necessarily consequent
upon defeat, and to admit from the weakness of
human nature, that these. poor fellows might
have derived a momentary gratification from ad-
dressing a few hard. words towards those indivi-
duals to whom in their bitterness .of mind , they
.might foolishly attribute their disgrace. UnhaP-
pily, however, our chiding has been in vain.—
TO no purpose have we been telling- them that
there are certain ranks and, degrees of society
which ought to be sacred from their impure in-
decent ribaldry ; that to the Queen Consort of
'these realms it is not becoming to address fan-
page such as no man of delicacy or of honour
would use towards the most Miserable being
that crawls upon the earth; or would indeed

Condescend, to ittterat all ; that such language,
when addressed to one raised so Tar above their
level, evinced but an Idle hostility, and must fall
innocuous from her ; that if such were true. while
the Queen was exposed to the dangers and in-
dignities of a public: prosecution, conducted by
enemies at once powerfUl and malignant, much
more so. is it now that her Majesty has triumphed
over the machinations that-Were framed against

have we fruitlessly urged, to check -On unreeling
and brutal malevolence of the writers we allude
to ; for there are some minds so ill constituted by
nature, that no generous sentiment can harbour
within them ; so dull and so' obtuse that gentle

of shame, and can be restrained from giving ex-
pression to their evil propensities by such means

MaNsION-Ho6sr.—A young man, from whom
a pistol had been• taken by an officer on one of
the illumination nights, begged yesterday that the,
Lord Mayor would order it to be restored to
him, a's he had been influenced by the very gene-
ral feeling that prevailed to let off a little powder,
as a testimony that he participated in the public
joy.
The Loan Mavba having ascertained that the
conduct of the applicant had not been improper
-on- the occasion, except inasmuch as he had fired
otf the pistol in the air, and by the explosion
invited a similar show of congratulation upon the
part olothers, said he should not detain the pis-
tol. His Lordship observed, that it was with
great pleasure he perceived that the City of Lon-
don had fully answered the expectations gene-
rally entertained, by preserving the peace during
the rejoicings. He had calculated upon his fel-
low-citizens, and, conscious that the most power-
ful security for maintaining good order would be
the determination to accompany the will of the
people by hi,s own practice, he had given
the notice which had been in almost every in-
stance adopted.. Great allowances were to
he made for the generous ebullitions of the
`Public heart, but this observation ought not
to be construed into a sentiment which was at
all times in the mouth of those who had an Inte-
rest in acting to the prejudice of the public good,
that he meant to justify the conduct of a set of
desperate ruffians, who had, no doubt, from the
very worst motives, proceeded to acts Of violence,
not consistent either with, law or justice. His
Lordship regretted that there were some parts of
the Metropolis 'which had not enjoyed the most
complete tranquillity, notwithstanding the ex-
traordinary care that had been taken to assist
the civil power, by means of another power, to
which he hoped the city would for some time
longer be a stranger.' He did not mean to corn.:
Aliment the city police, but he could not help
thinking that they were perfectly qualified, to
keep under any disposition-to acts of fury amongst
the turbulent, without dangerous consequences
to themselves or requiring aid from those, the
very appearance of whom within the walls of the
city was considered in the light of au attack upon
the privileges of its inhabitants.
Some fellows who had undergone an examina-
tion on Tuesday; upon charges of having at-
tempted to rob Gentlemen on Cornhill, were
again brought up. No persons appeared against
them; but their fathers proiniSed a great deal,
and the Lord Mayor said
.he. should speculate
upon their repentance, and dismisSed them.
On the night on which those melt Were taken
into custody, Mr. Brown, the Marshal, received

. . . ,
in the performanee EA Ids duty very severe treats
ment from the gangs of -pickpotkets that infested
Fleet-street;in the neighbourhood- of Alderman
IVaithannt's house, and Ludgate-hill, opposite to
Mr. ,clone's. He observed a desperate fellow
dragging the property out of peOpys pockets in
the crowd, and made over-to hint-for the purpose
of taking hint into custody. The -thief,
with the
view of-carrying on his ..plan, in which he mras
assisted by several others, with the better effect,
Cried. out, ." the Queen, for ever," at every bawl he
