OLD pAILEY.—(Tins DAY.)

OUTRAGE IN Al G E-S T wEET.—Henry Lida4d
Nyas put 'to the bar, charged on .an indictment,
with stealing from the person. of Mr. Henry
Wakeley, surgeon,late of Argyle-street, a watch,
chain; and seals, value ;101. and upwards, on the
27th of August. The 'particulars of this case
have already been before the public. Mr. W.
proceeded to giVe an
.account of the manner in
which he had been persecuted...by a gang of
Radicals, in consequence of their supposing that
he was the person who decapitated 7'histlercood
and his associates on the Ist of May ; Jie trusted,
therefore, that he would be excused his naming his
residence at,present ; to this the Court complied.
'Mr. Wakeley then detailed, the circumstances as
they occurred, namely, that .at an unseasona-
ble hour of the night, some one knocked at
the door, -he being hi the house -alone ; a rush
was immediately made, and he was kicked
and beaten in a most brutal mnnner, and the
house set on fire ; he seized the prisoner, but
from the agitated state of- his mind at the
time, he would not take upon hith to swear
the prisoner was the man that took his watch.
--Thomas GlasSborough, a constable, 'be-
lieved the prisoner to be the person Dr. Wakeley
had , hold of. This witness was corroboratd
by another constable, named- Bowser. This
was the case . for
.the prOsecittion.,
Oiler said he wasinnocent- of the charge.
mi.. COMMON SERGEANT summel up, and: the
Jury having retired, bin quarter of an hour,:re-
tnrued a verdict of Guittj.=—Mr. Wakeley re-
commended the prisoner to mercy, but the Court
considered the offence *so atrocious, 4,§ fa,pria
elude the possibility of its being attended t 0...

FROM TIM 'MOB:NING PAPERS.

. ,
[Morning Post.]
e have received many letters inquiring when
the Lo v-At. AnATI os, of which we some time '
since published a copy, will be ready to receive
the signatures of the public. We regret that we
cannot 'rive a satisfactory reply. That Declara,
tion, Which our Correspondents justly observe
" would prey e, the' strongest preventive to disaf-
fection," and which needs only be produced to
Le subscribed by thousands, if not by millions of
real' patriots,' is still unaccountably kept back at
the. very moment when -its appearance is most
nrgently wanted, and "most anxiously desi;ed.
W here, the blame rests we knOW not; but :we
know that in such a crisis as the present, delay
is danger, and neglect is guilt. Shall a spirit of
slumber seal the eyes that ought to watch for the
safety of the land ? Shall our institutions be me-
naced--shall we hear the daily,. nay hourly stroke
of the axe Sapping the throne and the altar, and
yet remain timid and inactive spectators, lament=
ing what we abhor, and permitting what it is in
ofirporzer to prevent Let'us not Ratter ourselves.
Let us not call ourselves loyal subjects, because
our may be faithful to our 'liing''aftd
our God. To be real,- Loyalty must not
be a' negative virtue ; it must be a living and
active principle. It must prove its existence
by works, not words and when the storm
descendS or the battle rages, it must stand the
encounter or defend- the breach, with all the
energy . of zeal and the fearlessness of heroism.
SUpineneSs in troubled times is little short of bc-
trugaL. -Without, its. intention it incurs its guilt,
beiause it produces its effects. For when Re-
volutionthunders at the gate, the Loyalist, who
slumbers in his bed, as effectually delivers his
post' as if he threw the key to the enemy.- Who
believes that when the world in arms was mar.
slialled' against us--When the cry of invasion
came on every breeze, and the plunder of our
wealth, the desolation of our cities, and the anni-
hilation of our name, fired the heart of gathered
nations—Who believes that -inactive patriotism
could have saved us? Who is not convinced, on
the contrary, that it would have delivered us
bound hand and foot into the hands of our ene-
mies, and that nothing 'but the universal and
magnificent burst of spirit= and; loyalty, which
made our people -one army, and our coasts
One wreath of spears, appalled the ravagers of
the earth, and rescued us, to become in time
its avengers? But invasion, we shall be told,
no longer threatens oirr shores ; 'the world
is our friend, and 'the Spirit which' shielded
us at the hour of foreign menace may safely be
sheathed in that of general peace. To this we an-
swer, that invasion is indeed 'passed, because it
has been effected.. The invasion of Revolutionary
arms was beiteti. backthat of Revolutionary
principles has Succeeded. The storm no longer
lowers upon tA from a foreign coast: it is col.
lected' on our own. Nay it rages in our very
bosorn. The foe is at our doors. His numbers
walk throUghout the land. Our cities re-echo with
their shouts, our hamlets are polluted by their
presence and their doctrines. Our Constitution
is shaken, the. majesty of the throne is insulted,
and.the sicreduess.of the' altar violated. Is it
under such a fearful combination of dangers that
the spirit of the Loyal is' to be lulled to rest ?
l s it because the 'foes to our peace- and our hap
pines.' are no longer Frenchmen, but to our mis-
fortiine and our disgrace, bear the name and
share the rights of Britons, that We• are to sur-
render the liberties, the authority, and the reli-
gion of the 'country' ivithout a' struggle into.
their hands, that Revolution may be glutted, and
Anarchy may revel ? •No ; let the thought-perish
In its birth ! Let the Loyal and the virtuous be
true to themselves. They still form the immense
majority of the 'nation, they still, therefore, pos-
sess-the power of controuling treason and repel-
ling danger. Let them come forward with an
Address to the Throne, pledging themselves to
stand, ,and if it be necessary, to bleed for its
support and that of our gbirious Constitution.
Let 'than approach. with the confidence of inte-
grity and in the fulness of their numbers, and
before their mighty phalanx -Revolution will
sink appalled, and Anarchy expire. •

THE QUEEN.—it may be expected that we
should make some remarks on the frequency of
those Meetings and Addresses. in whicli_fenuiles
partake,: on the subject of the present procedure
against the Queen. The advice, c.ertainly,. is as
old.asllomer—that this softer part of the crew.

fairsoind the labours of the distaff: and Jtonter
was' one, as the most excellent judge .of human

Still, hoWever, a series of, unabated persecutions,
carried. on for more than. a qtiarter of a century
against One galllnt and Royal Lady, is so singu
lar an event in the history of the. world;'that the
proceedings connected with it may well plead an
exemption from ordinary rules: Antecedently
to, and during. the process against :Marie. An-
toinette, the unhappy Women of the French ca-
pital Or., country dared not indicate their attiach-
ment to her Majesty., or their disbelief of • the
filthy charges imputed to her ; but had they so
far despised the vengeance .of the miserable
wretches .who were heaping CalumnieS upon the
head .of their Queen. as toform,addresses of the
nature 'of. those now presented to Queen Caroline,
we have no doubt that though the dameS• of
)France might have beeA' treated as are now the
British. females by her Majesty's Jacobin perse-
cutors, yet would the act have met with the
universal applause of the , virtuous, the just,
and the humane ,of all nations. Nay,,. it must
be 'recollected, that it to women, to mothers,
that the Queen of France appeals' when 'ln-

decencies were attributed to her of the same
nature as those now imputed to the Queen:
of England.. But the charges against the
Queen of France rested at least upon the eVi-
deuce of Frenchmen, ba3e and recreant as
they were ;, so that they could be interrogated,
and rendered yesponsible afterwards. But as to
this Sacchi; had the man himself been made as
well as his evidence for this very occasion, (as it
has teen thought possible to fabricate a man by
a philosophic process,) and had he •been after-
wards,dissolved into his component parts, such a
phantasma, which had no other existence than in
Cotton-garden and the House of Lords, could
not have been less amenable to human feelings
and motives than is Signor Sacchi. But it is as-
serted that the women who address'the Queen
are not respectable women : neither,:we answer,
would those have been called respectable- by the-
Radicals of Valls to whom the Queen of. France
appealed, if they had answered to the appeal.—
However, it is not worth the while to oppose as-
sertion, by assertion,though we suspect our word
will go somewhat farther than that of those who
slander the Queen and. her adherents. If the
women who address her Alajesty are not respect-
able, then they lose no character by these their
proceedings ; and if they are respectable, still
they lose no character, because they address upon
the conviction of her Majesty's innocence ; and
surely one virtuous woman may congratulate
another upon the detection and exposure of a se-
cond conspiracy to blast her honour.
At a time w hen it is imputed as a crime, or at
least as affording suspicion of criminality, that
the Queen of England should have raised a per-
son from an hunible station to that of Chamber-
lain—no great advance, however, when we con-
sider the condition of the Royal benefactress—
it is rather remarkable that two men should have
died in France, whose respective histories would
of themselves show that, in the present state of
Continental-society, Berganzi's advancement, even
from the ordinary cause of personal merit, -need
excite no surprise, nor give occasion to any re-
flections. Kellerman and Lefebvre died' within
two days of each ether. They were both
Dukes, both :Marshals, both in possession of the
first honours of the State, and both in the enjoy-
ment of princely domains. Marshal Kellerman,
Duke of Valmi, was of the old nobility : the
birth and parentage of Lefebvre are unknown :
some say his father was a. miller, some that he was
a common soldier ; in the latter capacity,
however, the son entered the army. The French
Journals mention these circumstances in the sim-
plest manner possible, the writers not in the
least conceiving (such are the habits of thinking
induced by the Revolution !) that they are say-
ing any thing respecting the • Duke of Dantsic
that can in the least disparage him in public
esteem, or that his rise is in any degree more ex-
traordinary than that of Marshal Kellerman.—

[New Times.]
We congratulate the Lathes of London,'West-
Minster, and
.Southwark, on the happy choice
which they made at the Freemasons"favern, of
a lecturer on manners and morals. Mr. John
Cant Hobhouse is a Gentleman of such known
delicacy, his principles are so pure, his piety and
loyalty 'so unaffected, that they could not but be
alike charmed and edified by his oration, Among
the numerous beatifies and brilliancies which
crowd upon us in the perusal of this choice
morceau, selection is extremely difficult, yet Mr.
Cain might well blame us it .we did not notice
one or two passages as specimens of, the richness
of his fancy and the classical elegance of his
taste. The great point which is established by
thisaccomplised young Philosopher (for.he hap-
pily unites the Adonis with the Stoic) is, that the
whole question is rather one of manners than of
morals. This is fortunate; for whatever doubts the
stiff or sanctimonious may suggest as to Mr.
Cam's morals, nobody will question his man-
ners. - We shall not go back to his letters
from Paris, where he so elegantly declaims
against 44 grubbing up the old bones" of
the: King and Queen of France-, for the pur-
poseof affording them Christian burial ; nor will
it 'be necessary -to cite any of those elegant
flowers which distinguished his Covent-garden
rhetoric. Without going beyond the limits of his
present speech, we find him gently hinting, that
his present Majesty, to whom he owes at least a
' deCent respect, is 64 the most besotted Prince
that ever filled the English Throne." We find
hint asserting of Sir Robert Gifford (whom he
cannot but know to be- a Most amiableman); that
he ." may be a lawyer, but is no Gentleman."
This freedom Of speech, it must be allowed,_ has
hitherto been rather rare in our higher circles ;
•but-Mr. Cam'S authority will,, no doubt, in future
make it
,pass current. Not only our conversa-
tion, but our customs, are likely to be much im-
proved by this young Gentleman's public
lectures: lie has been- (as the booksellers know
• to their cost) a great traveller. lie has seen the
Emperor of Russia go into a warm-bath with
the Ladies of his Court. lie has seen the Duke
of Tuscany go with all his Courtiers, male and
female, to look on upon certain indecent pro-
ceedings. lie has seen hundreds of Ladies,
in Asia, (mocleie ones too!) look at the dance'
which was so unequivocally described . by
the witnesses- against the Queen. Now, far be
it from us to doubt his having seen all these de,
le.ctable sights,: and, many others,still more gra-
tifying to his laudable- 'curiosity.! 'We think it
. even, prObablethat many of the Ladies that heard
and cheered, and laughed at his_recitalsrmay be
eager to get a peep at similar exhibitions. But
-in behalf of that more decent portion of,the British
fair who do not flock
.to Taverns to' hear , such
'discourses, we -must say, that their present mode
of life appears to: us infinitely more favourable
to virtue than if "they were to- adopt all, those
foreign customs which Mr. tam so .eloquently
recommends. But how-does. .all, this bear upoii
her Majesty's defence ? Why, we presume, Mr.
Cam means to adopt in
,the ,fullest :latitude that
• •
cOnvementplea, first advanced in the 44 Leading.
Journal," which explains eVery thing by the ens-
, tom of the Country.- 'So- the bathing- scene oit

board the polaccal for instance, is to be admitted
and justified ! Well might Mr. Cain say, he did
not mean" to impair the force and effect of the
defence to be made by lier Majesty's Counsel,
by anticipating their arguments!" Those
Learned Gentlen-ien, we dare say, will not be
quite so candid in their admissions, nor quite so
profound in their distinctions betsteen,manners
and morals.

[British Press.]
Scarcely a day passes on which it does not be-
come our duty to record some demonstration of
public affection to the QUEEN, and of the intense
sympathy evinced by all classes of the people in
her Majesty's sufferings. On Tuesday an un-
usually large meeting of the inhabitants of the
metropolis in general was held at the Free-
masons' Tavern, for the purpose of congratulat-
ing her Majesty upan the termination of the
case submitted to the House of Lords as the pre-
text for depriving her of her Crown and dignity.
A meeting not less respectable was held yester-
day of the inhabitants of the Parish of St. James
for a similar purpose, and in both instances the
conduct of the Ministers in instituting a process
so disgUsting in its nature, so revolting in prin-
ciple, and so alarming in its consequences to the
well-being of the State, was warmly and unequi-
vocally censured. Addresses continue to pour in
to the Queen from every parish in the metropolis,
and from almost every town in Great Britain ;
and even upon the day appointed by the House
of Lords for resuming the trial of her Majesty,
several Addresses—one of them of a most re-
markable nature, from 18,000 of the Watermen
and Lightermen on' the River—will convey to
Brandenburgh House the confidence of many thou-
sands of the people in her innocence, and the ex-
pression of their indignation at the unworthy treat-
ment she has experienced during the long course
of five-and-twenty years which have elapsed
since her Majesty, in the spring time of joy and
confidence, first touched upon the shores of
Britain, Can it be believed that so lively and
general an excitement could.have been produced
in the public mind by the practice of any decep-
tions or fallacies. such as are attributed to the
Queen's friends by the Treasury Journals ? It is
the worst and most dangerous of delusions to
imagine that the voice of the people, energeti-
cally expressed, is not the result of strong and
honest conviction, and that when it speaks of
oppression and injustice, sufficient cause does not
exist for giving utterance to such imputations.—
We are extremely sorry to have occasion to re-
mark—and to this we desire to draw the parti-
cular attention of- the superior classes of society
—that the evil consequences' of the proceedings
against the Queen begin already to be percep-
tible. There is no evil of greater magnitude
.than that public opinionshould cease to repose
with confidence upon the depositaries of power,
i or entertain the suspicion that the noblest and
most venerable of our institutions are exercised,
not for tired public benefit, but for the gratifi-
cation of individual caprice or personal vindic-
tiveness. Feelings of this nature have been but
too perceptible in some of the. late meet-
ings, arising solely and exclusively from the
impression produced by witnessing the recent
proceedings, and observing how uncontrolled has
been the authority of the Ministers in the con-
ducting of the entire case. It is with unfeigned
sorrow that we have observed in the reports of
several public meetings the little respect, we
should rather say the disrespect, and even ridi-
cule with which the names of the House of Lords
and of the Reverend Bench of Bishops are treated.
We have made particular inquiries upon this sub-
ject, of those Gentlemen connected with this
establishnrent, whom, in the discharge of our duty
to the public, we hive requested to attend such
meetings, and we have had' the pain to learn from
them, that the mention of the House, of Lords as
a Court of Judicature—of a Bishop, and even of
the Clergy in general, is uniformly received with
bursts of laughter! This is an alarming feature
in the present agitations, and surely the causes of
its existence cannot be misunderstood. We can-
not apprehend that our motives in thus noticing
the circumstance will he mistaken. We speak
in 'the spirit of conservation, and Announce a dan-
ger of alarming magnitude, as the warder pro-
claims the approach of an enemy.

If we may trust the ACCOUNTS from Lisno or
