SOLEAI QUIS DICEKE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1820.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. In the Chamber of Deputies, on
Friday, a Petition reported upon from an in-
dividual, praying that the Duke DECAZES might
be put upon his trial, gave rise to a warm debate
of some length, M. BENJAMIN CGNSTANT and
others contending that there was an intrigue on
foot for restoring the Duke DscAzes, and urging
that the Petition ought to be referred to
the Ministers, that they might have a pro-
per opportunity of chewing the charges against
their late Colleague to be without foun-
dation. The proposition, however, of the
Committee for passing to the order of the
day was at length agreed to without a division.
The discussion was then resumed on the articles
of the Projet respecting the Customs, and was
again adjout tied till Saturday. The following ate

extracts :--

" PARIS, APRIL 29.—Yesterday the King gave
a private audience to his Excellency Mirza About
Liman 1.-au, the Peresiau Aulbesuidor E'traor-

dimly. llis nijesty afterwards transacted busi-
ness with the Ilinister of the Interior aod the
Duke de Richelieu.

" The Duke cl'Angouleme is to arrive at Dijon

Nlay.

" A letter from Rochelle states, that General

count of informality, has been again returned to

lege of Chal cute-Inferieure.

" The Court of Cessation has reiected the ap.
peal of the F.xConventionalist Lacarpentier
a Regicide, against the arret of the Court 0
Assizes of la Manche, condemning him to de.
portation for having returned to France without
leave.

" The Count de Volney has bequeathed
a perpetual rente of 1,200 francs destined to found

" INSPRUCK, Arum 18.—The Queen of Eng-
land had not left Rome on the 10th inst. Her
Majesty continued to live in the strictest incog-
nito, the Papal Court having categorically refused
to recognize her as Queen' of England. Latterly
her Majesty never chewed herself in public, and
only went out in a close carriage. it is said that
her Majesty was about to proceed to Pesaro, to
wait advices on which depended her journey to
England."

THE Qoettrr.--We are assured, by those who
profess to know the real state of things, and
who are not likely to be misinformed, That Hee
MAJESTY is only approaching to this Country for
the purpose of being near at hand, in order to
consult on the negociation for her future
provision. It is, however, the policy of lier
Advocates to excite a belief that she will actually
laud. What must be thought of men who can
promote such manoeuvring practices ? But they
cannot succeed. If her -MAJESTY reallyarrives in this
country all must be open, fair, and above-board,
and if she is found to be deserving of the gene-
rosity of the People, she may rest assured that
nothing will be wanting to support her character,
and to adminis►er to her happiness.

We have endeavoured to compensate for the
brief account which we were obliged to give yes-
terday of the circumstances attending the execu-
tion of the unfortunate men who have suffered
under the justice of the Lily, by a copious report
of the melancholy event this day. It is natural
that a general interest should be strongly pre-
valent on so disastrous an occasion ; but to
dwell on the conduct of the wretched culprits

is to raise them into a degree of consequence which
they do not deserve, and to convert a firm sensed
justice into a feeling of false humanity. They
were men who had entered into a dreadful
Conspiracy, which, if it could have been at-
tended with success, might have involved the
Country in confusion, consternation, and anar-
chy. It is weakness to mourn over them,
whatever compassion may be excited by those
domestic connexions who must -suffer by the
loss of them, and that loss, of course, lamentably
aggravated by the nature of it. ' But curi,sity has
been sufficiently gratified, and the subject should
he relinquished, except so far as it may be em-
ployed as a warning to those who might be de-
luded into the same evil courses.

It is always with reluctance that we comment
on the conduct of any of our Competitors, and we
trust that we never shall do so, except on matters
of essential interest to the Country, the refutation
of false statements of the °perm ionsof Government,
and the maintenance of just principles. We are
as zealous for the liberty of the Press as any of
our political Opponents, and hope it will always
exist in due vigour as a censorial power over those
to whom the administration of national affairs
may be entrusted. But we put it to the candour
and jos.ice of the well-meaning men of all parties,
whether the following paragraph, which ap.
pears in the Morning Chronicle of this day, does not
demonstrate the folly of those who complain of
restrictions on lb freedom of the Press, and whe-
ther it is only a lair and allowable use of that
freedom, or whether it is not calculated to render

the people in general, though apparently lately
for Scotland only, discontented with the power
wl_icb they already possess. We question, ill;
deed, whether any public Journal, notoriously °
avowedly Radical, could have contained a ilv3rl
mischievous article, though it might not be eole
veyed in terms of such insidious caution :

" We trust the time is fast approaching when
the people of Scotland will cease to be disgrace('
by the proceedings of a few individuals in vibe
hands an uncontrolled power is vested. Ag
present the people are completely excluded frsill
all influence on public affairs. From the gre.ol
improvement which has taken place in that
country of late years, and the general diffusion d
wealth and intelligence, we are persuaded that the
reign of the jobbers cannot last much longer. VI
Borough Reform will go a great way towards the
remedy of the evil, and we trust the praceediogo
respecting it, which were prosecuted with ss
much spirit in the last Parliament, will be eon'
tinued with the same spirit in this."

Last night were sent off to Portsmouth, Pre°
paratory to transportation, Wilson, Strange, 1104
rison, Cooper, and Bradburn, five of the conspire
tors lately convicted. A proper escort went wits
them.—Gilchrist remains in Newgate as respite,.

LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND.—It is Will much
pleasure we learn, that his Royal Highness the
Duke of SUSSEX is confidently spoken of in high
Political Circles as the Personage most likely is
succeed Lord TALBOT as Viceroy of Ireland. No
appointment could be so gratifying to the peOP
of this country, who have been long amino is,
see a Member of the Royal Family at the bee
of the Irish Government. Totally distinct frog
political views and party politics, the measure
would be hailed with inexpressible satisfactio°
throughout the Island, and we need scarcely erg:
that such a Court as his Royal Highness %void'
establish, must confer great benefits on the Citi
of Dublin, now running fast to decay, deserted'
as it is, by the Nubility and Gentry, who forme'
ly gave spirit and support to its trade and institv
tions. The Court of his Royal Highness wota
induce the return of many absentees from Eog'
land and the Continent.— (D uldlitt Evening Foe'
