Mn. £DItoR--Thoogli 1 *Tin owe of your plan
of trmsferring every day the chief articles in the
111orniisg Papers into your own, under the head
of the Lostoorr JOURNALS, yet I cannot help
thinking that you are too partial in your sele'c-
fi appears to me to be the duly i•f a Public
JOurnalkt to give liheral extracts from both sides,
where they remelt ttlion points of Constitutional
IMportance. Buch is the question resp, eting
itaaryourib. Upon that principle I spud 10 you
tome opinions in the netts of this day, and which
ate not chatacterised by the rancorous asperity
which tonally appears in that Paper. I send the
extract to you chiefly -on account of the political
i'mportan'ce of the subjects but as a test of , your
impartiality also, as well as to encourage the
Times to persevere in the same temperate spirit
which appears on this occasion, as its general tone
Las rendered it a hateful Paper even to the Op-
ponents of Government, because its hostility to
Ministers is indiscriminate, and directed against
all their measures, good or bad.

GRAM POUND.

We return to 111-7stsh Grampound, and
the new niiinhertri. The brief statement of the
case is-this vi-,-The right of returning members to
Parlianient has been taken away from a borough
in Cornwall, on accoutit of its venality. The
frawchise I. now therefore vacant, and all Eng-
land are candidates for the obtainment of it. The
natural and obvious course, we should pre,utne,
is to bestow it On some town, city, or district of
great wealth, population, and consequence. which
(Theo nor now send members to Parliament.
When there are such towns and districts in abun-
dance, we really dre a‘lidmed to mention, that
for (1 ins e---for yie cannot but hope that the project
is relingoished—tikere was an idea of overlooking
all the rich and populous regions of fingland,
lee-
la-,d and Scotland, and of conferring the va-
Jiishle boon of sending members to Parliament
upon tin obscure patch of the County of Cornwall,
called P intrey Handred, the inhabitanti• of
which 'met did send members to Parliament,
avung had no more concern in the election of
those who were returned by Grampound (the de-
linquent lot ougi.) than persons living wholly one
of the United-Kingdom. This notion therefore,
of selectiog the men of Poudrey, and endowing
them with so new a faculty, which, if they were
disposed, they bad not even the power of deserv-
ing by any conduct of theirs, was indeed a very
singular one. We would not wish to treat a
grave subject ludicrously, but we should really
as soon have expected that the right of sending
Members to Parliament should have been conferred
on the ancient and worshipful corporation of
IG.rrst,

We trugt, howeeer, that the ilotise of Corn-
Mons would have better consulted its own ko•
nour at his season of rebuke and reviling, than
to have sub►nitted to so evident a degradation
The House, untimilitedly, wishes its proceedings to
be reverenced and esteemed by the people at large;
and we •would calmly ask, whether it will be a
greater accession to the dignity of the House to
receive ',ow within its walls [NO Members re.
turned by the opulent, Populous, ant► loyal fown-
ship of Leeds. or two Representatives ofiPourhey
Hundred ? 13ut, even with respect to internal
gravity and utility of counsel, it is neither in the
power of the places which elect Members
to serve in Parliament, nor of those who are sup-
posed to exercise an undue influence in the elec-
tions, to confer talents at will on the objects of
their choice These, therefore, may be set aside
in any comparison of the probable aerial of Re-
pretteni attires, as they cannot be calculated upon
seith Arly reunify'', Not but that we tbink the
township of Leeds, or the West Riding of York-
shire, more likely to choose men properly quali-
fied tor the di,chatge of public business titan the
Honthed of Poudrey. But, upon any Oration of
natiottal or commercial policy—the 1Vool•ques•
tion fur example---we ask, whether, ceteris
paribus, would the' Representative of Leeds, or
the Representative of Pondrey Hundred, be heard
with mote attention, and he more likely, from
counekiou, habit, and previous preparation of
mind, to deal out useful information and suggest
useful counsels ? The House would, therefore,
spurn its own advantages, as well as degrade its
dignity, by accepting men from an obscure Cornish
Hundred, tallier than the Representatives of an
important part of the British Empire.—(The

LONDON JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PRYERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Herald.]

The following Account of certain Proceedings,
Connected with the unfortunate differences which
subsist between his MAJESTY and the QUEEN, 11113
been made public

" It is known that shortly alter the death of his late Ma-
jesty, it was designed to put the matter at rest for ever by an
open judicial proceeding, which should release tire parties
from those bonds which had so long connected thew togr-
ther, but never could unite them. Thsts intention was
changed, however, in conseynence of an interview which
took place between an eminent Barrister and a distinguished
Nobleman ; on which occasion, the copy of a letter to an
Illustrious Personage, was laid before his Lordship, in which
the Itoyal writer declares his inflexible resolution never again
to hold communion or intercourse with her.

" The letter is supposed to have been written some years
ago, in the warmth of injured feelings, as the language and
sentiments betray considerable agitation. Shortly afterwards
an extraordinary Cabinet Council was convened, to take into
consideration the important point, so long a subject of anx-
iety in the mind of the King. Only one of the Law Officers
•rf the Crown concurred io the wishes of bit Majesty; the

%-11o1e Cabinet besides were so oppriseti with the technical
thiliculties of the case, that they decked encountering them,
and a round rohia was addressed to is Majesty on Monday,
the 14th of February last, which leffor a time, all the gteat
Offices of State vacant, and the Cuutry without responsible
Guserttnient."
