SOLEM QUI& DICERL FALSIIM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1820.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Monday last. The following are extracts :
" PALLS, ArRIL 17.—Yesterday the Icing, alter
hearing Mass in his apartments, received the Dig-
nitaries, all the Ministers, the Plince dc Talley-
rand, the Marshals Dukes tle Tarente, of Dal-
rncia, of Ragusa, and de rise Marquess
tie Bonrwinville, and teveral Genriil Officers an,:
Nlemhers of t!“. two Charors. The 11,irott
cent, Arnhassattor (Ji the Enerer of Austria, had

an audience of his Majesty. The King afterwards
held a Cotmcil of i\lii►isters.

Very favourable intelligence has been receiv-
ed respecting the health of M. de Sure, the
Keeper of the Seals. It is believed that his Ex-
cellency will return to Paris early .in -May.

" MADRID, APRIL G.
ABOLITION OF PRIVILEGES.

" The King wishing to give to all that part
of the Spanish nation who are subjected to the ex-
clusive and other privileges vested itt the Crown,
under the title of the Royal Patrimony, unequi-
vocal proofs of the desire by which he is animat-
ed, not only to confer upon this portion of the
people, all the prosperity of which they are sus-
ceptible, but also to recompence the heroic sa-
crifices which they have made in common with
the whole Nation, and with an unparalleled ge-
nerosity to maintain the most just, the most ob-
stinate, and the most heroic contest, of which
ages sfford an example ;
" Also the General and Extraordinary Cortes
having abolished the said privileges of the Royal
patrimony by their decree of the 19th July 1813,
and being thoroughly persuaded that it is impos-
sible the monarchy can obtain that union and
happiness which is so essential to it, and to which
it may aspire, unless all Spaniards at•e equal in
their facilities of enjoyment, their charges, rights
and duties, I have determined in unison with the
Provisional Junta ;
" That the said decree of the Cortet of the 9th
July, 1813, shall be executed in all its parts ; that
in consequence from henceforth shall be abolished
all the privileges of Royal patrimony, and
the receipt at duties dependent upon them, and
that the arrears up to the 9th March last, the
day on which I swore to the Constitution, shall
be received by the political Chiefs of the respec-
tive Provinces, and the amount applied to the re-
lief of the families of the .victims of the day of the
_loth March, at Cadiz, without prejudice to any
other aid which may be granted to them through
the national generosity, and my paternal views to
render their lot less unfortunate.
" Given at the Palace, the 3d Aptil, t 320.
" Certified of the King's own Hand.
" A. D. JUSEPII GARCIA. DE LA TORRE.

" Another impost, known by the name of the
Vow of Saint James, has also been suppressed,
and the arrears applied in the same manner.

The duties on Merino flocks have likewise
been abolished."

We stated yesterday that THE QUEEN bad ap-
pointed .Mr. BROUGHAM her Attorney-General.—
She has also appointed Mr. DENMAN her Solicitor-
General, and both of these Gentlemen appeared in
the Court of Chancery this day, where their ap-
pointments were duly recognized by the Loan
CHANCELLOR. These appointments are understood
to be preparatory to her arrival in this Country,
and hence the reports to that effect are now
so confidently asserted as to excite a gene•
ral expectation that she will soon be here.—
It may appear somewhat pertinacious in us
to retain the same doubts which we have
so often expressed on the subject, but we
cannot yet relinquish them. It is said that if her
MAJESTY should really revisit this country, she will
have acted in opposition to the strenuous advice
of her friends and supporters, and particularly to
that of the Gentleman who has now been formally
acknowledged as her Attorney-General. It is
difficult to arrive at the truth on such occasions,
or rather, we should say, on such an occasion,
for the whole conduct imputed to her MAJESTY,
whether true or false, and the case, altogether, is
without a precedent in the history of this country.
The consequent proceedings, therefore, may be
expected to be full as extraordinary. As to the
idea that her MAJESTY'S arrival 'will occasion any
Ministerial .changes, we conceive it to be mere
conjecture, or the artful rumour of Party. The
return of her MAJESTY, however, is likely to be
attended with very serious consequences ; and
therefore it is much to be regretted that the ar-
rangements which it is said had been formed by Mi-
nisters, and assented to by her MAJF.STY'S friends,
are thus likely to be frustrated by her 'MAJESTY'S
own determination. Her resolution, however, to
return, in opposition to the advice of those who,
from talents and experience, are qualified to afford
her the most prudent Counsels, if they are wholly
free from party influence, may be considered as a
strong proof that she feels wholly innocent of the
charges which have been so abundantly circulated
through every part of Europe, and which have,
no doubt, led to that cold reception and
neglect which she has alleged against several
Courts in the recent letter from her, which
has been given to the world as authentic.—
We repeat our sincere hopes, that those charges
are the effect of that malevolence towards the
higher orders of Society of every description,
which has too lanrentat►iy characterized this Radi•
c4tAge. But equity must take place, and happy

shall we be if her MAJESTY should pass through
the ordeal, tind in the resale come forth, like Plc
gold, with unclouded lustre.

rmir
The Conviction of THlsTLewooni lif!er K --
and patient trial, is satisfactory to the Public, in'
somuch as it spews that the Laws of this Country(
are duly maintained, whatever pity may at•
tend the unfortunate individual who is to atone
for their violation. The CV' etched men Who baye
held the same sentiments, and have followed the
same courses, are indeed objects of pity, beesuge
their fortunes were desperate, and they wanted
the lights of moral education. Such pity, however,
ie wholly inapplicable to men of rank and for'
tune, who have had all the advantages of culture
and enlightened society, but who have entertain'
ed the same destructive principles, and have en'
deavoured to propagate them by inflammatory ha'
rangues, and written articles, calculated to delude
the lower classes, and to promote the subversion
of the Government. It is probable that if the
men who can, be so iuseusible of the blessings
which they enjoy had been cast in the same hum'
ble lot as the other desperate offenders, they would
have been still more outrageous in their con'
duct ; and therefore, whatever punishment Met
be awarded for their violations of law, and
attempts to disturb the Country, if not to over'
throw the Throne, they ought not to be treated as
objects of lenity, but to be held forth es excite
plary warnings to the community in general, t°
conduct themselves like rational men, Loyal Sub'
jests, and good Members of Society.

We have received Quebec Papers to the 6th of
March. His Excellency Sir P. MAITLAND opened
the Legislature of Upper Canada on the 21st
bruaty, with a speech, of which-the following is as
Extract :

" I feel the most sincere pleasure in communicating to yea'
that .the timely interference of the Legislature, the' itoC
administration of the law of the land, and perhaps more
than all, the prevailing good_ sense and good principle a
the great majority of the people, have dissipated those ar-
pearances of disturbance and discontent which were bt.'
ginning to defame us abroad, and, unless happily checked,
would have been fatal to our increasing prosperity. Assurei
that there exists no reason at present for desiring snag
than the ordinary safeguards of the Constitution, I 301
fully disposed, should you deem such a measure expedieutt
to acquiesce in the repeal of an Act passed last Sessions
for preventing Seditious Meetings, freely confiding in tbg
energy of the Legislature, and the steady loyalty of the great
mass of his Majesty's subjects."

ARRIVAL OF THE KING.—The KING arrives
at the Palace of Carlton House from Brighton
yererday evening, at a quarter past silt o'clock"
His MAJESTY was attended by Sir BENifigis
BLOOMFIELD, and his travelling chariot wall es-
coned by a party of the 19th Lancers. We ere
happy in being able to add, that his MAJESTY Or
peered in excellent health.

All remains quiet in the west, and the trooP4
are now returning to their former stations.—""
