LITERARY REVIEW.

GEORGE the THEM, his COURT, anti FANULT.-2 litA9

The important political events which have
crowded on us from day to day during the past
month, have hitherto precluded us from noticing
this ‘Vork on a subject so interesting to the feel-
ings of every loyal Briton ; nor will our
even at the present moment, permit us to offer
that critical notice of it which it deserves. We
must, therefore, allow it to speak for itself in the
few extracts here selected, rather illustrative of
its political tendency than of absolute Biographi-
cal Anecdote.

The Author, though evidently a PITT/TB,
seems ts) have united much political candour with
his political sentiments, and sedulously ro have
avoided whatever might hurt the feelings of loyal
readers, whatever their Party, in this Land of free
political opinion ; and even of our immortal Mi-
nister himself he says little beyond what may
serve to excite a recollection of his virtues- in the
breasts of those who follow his footsteps, and to
which no liberal partizan of Opposition can refuse
assent

" The death of Mr. Pitt in ISM was a most
remarkable event in that year. To expatiate on
' his character whom all must remember, is unne-
cessary, especially as the strains of panegyric and
of invective which were heard in every quarter,
served as proofs in attesting that no common cha-
racter bad left the world.
" TO avoid both these extremes, it will be suf-
ficient to observe, that almost all parties agreed
that his accessibility and industry as a MiniSter
were unequalled : that his eye was ever vigilant
. for the public interest ; that he was incessant in
the labours and, duties of his office ; that 'his per-
sonal administration was free from the least taint
of corruption; whilst his poverty, instead of re-
sulting from culpable remissness or profusion, was
regally an.eviance that he sought not for power
as au instrument of pecuniary emolument."
To Mr. Fox's memory, our Author seems
disposed to he as liberal as a sense, of proptiety
end polities! truth will admit. Speaking of that
Statesman, after the breaking up or the tremorablr
,Coalition, he observes, that " the length of -time
daring which Mr. Fox continued out of office,
'after ibis, has been, by his friends, considered as
exclusice, which it certainly was during the early
and middle parts of the, French Revolution ; and
it is impossible not to regret that any cause should,
have existed to keep such a man from power and
place. One of his warm admirers says, that if
energy of mind, enlargement of views, firmness of
character, amenity of manners, acquaintance
with foreign Courts and languages, facility in
conducting business; and prodigious intellectual
powers, combining eloquence, application, and
discernment—if these endowments can .he consi-
dered as forming an incontestable claim to public
employment, unsustained by moral qualities, or
by property,' then the sentence of exclusion
against bins must be condemned ; though it would
require no justification 'in the eyes of those who
consider all talent, however eminent, as radically
defective, unless sustained by decorum, and a
regard for opinion ;' as well as of all who pre-
fer sobriety of cnntluct, regularity of deportment,
and the virtues of private life, above any. ability
which Nature can bestow on man ;' lastly,
all who regard judgment, under the control of
strict principle, as the most indispensable requi-
site of a Minister, to whom the public honour and
felicity are in some measure necessarily entrusted.'
—Of the propriety of these remarks our Readers
will.judge; in biography we must have tau party
feeling, if possible ; but it is pleasing to reflect
(and here we may slightly anticipate events), that
'Mr. Fox, as be advanced in life, was rapidly cur-
ing himself 'of his faults and foibles as a mar) ;.
and that, although when in power a peace with
France museheve been with him a point of the high-
est interest, both as a 'party man and a Ministet ;
and although there 'May have been jnst
,canse to
censure, and even to- smile at the Mode atitl,',Man-
ner in which negotiations were first bronglikon,
yet throughout the Whole of that important. pe-
riod, even whilst displaying the sincerest dcsire
.for pacification,' did he manifest a sturdy, honest
sense of national dignity, uniting diplomatic conci-
liation with the plain unsophisticated firmness of -
an Englishman, anxious for the honour and wel-
fare of his country. If We differed from him in
political opinion,' it is doubly gratifying to snatch
this opportunity of anticipating that just praise-
which he will be seen to merit in the following
sheets."

In detailing the contests on the unhappy Royal

illness in 1788, our. Author is equally delicate to
the subject of his biography, and to the leaders and
partizans in the political warfare of that day.—
Avoiding unnecessary details, be rentatks—

" But over this let us draw the veil—to relate

the thousand anecdotes connected with it would
only be to open a scene of human humiliation,
distressing to the heart, and unnecessary to the
objects otthe present work.

"Tor is it even necessary to expatiate upon
the hopes and fears of the nation respecting his
ultimate tecovety ; the political interregnum
which ensued ; the hopes of the outs, or the ex-
ertions of the ins; the reAlly Whig ptincipletland
practice of Mr.. Pitt, in looking to the hereditary
Legislature. and the... Representatives tht pea-

[PRICE SEVENPENCF,

:or power to nniniitate HA to regulate a Re-
gency ; nor the really Tory principleN of Mr.,Pox
and his party, who seemed disposer! even to re-
vive the divine indefeasible hereditary right of the
preceding century,

" The,e events form a 'nest important feature
in the history of Britain ; but to general history
we must leave them, as the recovery of the King
early in the ensuing year rendered it unnecessary
then to put into practice those utiunal
principles which have since been acted upon; it;
spitc, of the clamours of fiction, and to au extent
which has strengthened the Constitution itielf,,
without derogating from the sovereign antoority,
or giving an undue weight to the influence otthe
people."

After some further remarks, he very judiciously
adds,-;-" The part taken by her Majesty in the
conflict was imposed upon her by the necessity of
the circumstances in which ,she viol placed ; and
had she acted any ~otirerwise tira'n she did, bkr
name would not have-passed-:'down in history
without reflections on the versatility of the
hu-
man mind. Time has set an, iumutabie stamp
upon her conduct;; and though the servile wor-
shippers of the rising sun endeavoured to justify
their own inconsistency and apostacy at her ex-
pellee, we know that the principle on which she
proceeded has long since beets regarded with ad-
miration in that very,guarter where 1-action es-
sayed to create mistrust; and perpetuate cold-
ness."

In subsequent reference to the Regency ques-
tion in 1810, the Author 'enters inure at length,
both into the grand Constitutional Principles con-
nected with it, and into the warfare of Opposi-
tion. He observes, that Parliament was adjourn-
ed in November, for a fortnight, on the " prin-
ciple of deference to the' judgment of the physi-
cians, as well as delicacy towards the S:overrigo,,
before any attempt should be made to supply the
deficiency of the Executive.
" This was the
.opinion of the Heir-apparent,
whose filial affection was not to be warped, by
party.; and it was also the declared opinion of
those who were known by the name of ..his
friends.' Pte nation at large also highly ap-
proved of this cautious delicacy; !bough unhap-
pity dating the progress of this adjournment, his
Alaissty's disorder, instead of relaxing in its
strength, or assuming a more favourable aspect,
put on the appearance of more obstinacy, and
threatened to be of long continuance.

" It is for the gener74 historian of this period
to examine the principles mhintained by the tvvo
contending parties ; the one insisting that the
Heir-apparent become Regent de facto, and was so
even previous to any regulations analogous to the
Coronation Oath ; the other insisting, that the
choice'ofa Regent,though it was now expedient that
that Regent should be the Heir apparent, rested
with Parliament, whose duty it was to make such
arrangements as the case required; and to esta-
blish such securities for the Constitutional Go-
vernment, for the safety of the Royal Persun, and
a CUM to power in case of a return to health-,
as might be found proper : though more as a-pre-
cedent for future times, than as absolutely ne-
cessary from the personal character of the suc-
cessor.

Such were the broad . constitutional features
of the contest but there were others connected
t‘ith party, which may be briefly mentioned.

The Whigs, certain of coming into power
and place, were anxious for an unrestricted
Regency, because that would have been followed
by an unrestricted Ministry; by places for life
and in reversion ; by peerages ;.and, in short, by
an unlimited enjoyment, of the loaves and fishes;
an enjoyment evidently. much coveted by that
strange anomalous. mixture of old Tories, of old
and new Whigs;. of Broad. Bottoms, and of
Prince's Friends.' The Tories, as they were
called, though in reality there seems to have been
a strange misnomer b.ttween the two parties, both
in ptinciple and io practice, wet e on the other
head naturally anxious, even beyond mere Con-
stitutional 'prop' iet y, to prevent their opponents
front fixing themselves too-strongly in their new
seats, being weld aware, that illeft merely to the
breadth of their own bottom they would soon top-
ple and tall from their places•
" We need not expatiate here upon the
cal events, immediately subsequent, up to tho
early part of 1811,; upon the disputes amongst
the ‘Vhigs for pre•emlnence between the Grey
and Grenville parties; upon the judicious con-
duct of the Regent in retaining his father's Mini-
sters, .because they were the Ministers of that
father, a measure so pleasing to the great ma-
jority of the people of the United Empire; it. is
sufficient to record the political arrangements
which related more especially to the Royal Per-
sionage, whose afflictions were the cause of State
measures hitherto without a precedent in the Ms.
tory of the Realm." •

ciph s, though be has over and Over again referred
to his past conduct, and avowed his determina-
titot to continto, in the same course From a man
who has been so many years in Pailiament, one
would think, this is at all events intelligible,
whether he may have acted right or wrong; if
right, he cannot give a better pledge for the fu-
ture dticharge of-his trust ;•if wrong, he has the
more candour in openly avowing his intentions.
What on lite other hand have heel) the profes-
sions of his moreerpficit opponent ? well knew,
that upon the foie grand question of Parliamen-
tary Reform, a wide difference exkted amongst
his own supporters ; and has he given utterance
to one definite or tangible opinion upon this im-

favour of Annual Parliaments and Universal Suf-
frage ? No, it would have lost him the support of'
the Whigs ! Has he disclaimed those wild no-
tions No, it would have lint him the counte-
nance of the Radicals ? He has adopted a middle
course, and dexterously •steered his " good Ship
Independence" to take advantage of either cur-
rent. At one time lie boasts the exact prin-
ciples of Mr. Byng, hoping to ride into Par-
liament Ilium that Gentleman's second votes;
at another, as some of his hest Friends ate
tinning out, Mr. Limb for holding those
identical ptincipies, he is obliged to say
something about a "thorwqh" Reform ? Now,
wt,at 'does Mr. Whitbread's" thorough Reform"
Mean ? Is it Radical Reform ? It so, what be..,
comes of lds devotion to the prticiples of Mr.
Beng ? What of his support from Lord John
Russel Both the avowed enemies of Rauieal,
though the advocates of moderate Reform. Or,
does he only mean that sort of Reform which Mr.
Byng, and Mr. Lamb, and many other Whigs
have spoken in favour of ? Then, he his grossly
deceived the worthy Baronet and Mr. Hubhouse,
in suffering them to 'believe him, and proclaim -
him to the Electors, a Radical Reformer like,
th,nnselves.• In short, lie has been throughout a
Whig to the Whigs, and a Radical- to the Radi•
cats, and this is the young Gentleman who takes•

upon him.seirto complain of Mr. Metlifilt for not
declaring what his principles are. It will he ask-
ed by some, if Mr. Whitbread has been thus in-
definite in his professions, how will he regulate
his conduct in Parliament, to please both the
parties who have given him their support ? No-
thing more easy ! he has only to vote with the
IVhigs on all common occasions, and they will
have no objection to his once a year making a
motion for " Thorough Reform," (or .seconding
the annual motion of the persevering Baronet)
because they are well aware, that it will end as
usual in smoke; thus, without advancing the
grand cause one step, he will return to his Con-
stituents at the next Election, the same " Friend
to the People"—the same ‘‘' Champion of -lode-
pendence"—the same " Advocate of Reform" that
be is at this moment, and the Whigs will again
suffer him to be held forth as a Radical Retormer,
because they cannot attempt to carry the two
seats in Middlesex by any other means. Is this
giving no encouragemeot to the Radicals ? Is it
not playing the desperate game of the York
Meeting over again, and blinking the question of
Reform altogether (at least as to its different de-
grees and modes of accomplishment) for the sake
of a combined attack upon the strength of Go-
vernment ?
Let us nest look at the extraordinary neutra-
lity observed by the Whig Journal throughout the
late Westminster contest : on a former occasion
their amplest pages were dedicated to the service
and support of Mr. Lamb, while the Baronet and
his poor Nominee were made to figure away in
all the hacknied epithets of ridicule and con-
tempt ; but mark the change ! not only have they
during the late struggle denied to their own pe-
culiar Eleve, a single word of panegyrlc or de-
fetice, but no sooner i 3 the election over than
even the vit operated Baronet is daily held up to
our applause for his patriotisM, and our syMpathy
for his conviction. What eves all this mean ?
but simply, that the influence of Sir Francis is
thought essential to the aecomplishment of their
object in Middlesex, and as they are certain at all
events of two votes against Ministers in 'West-
. eninster, Mr. Lamb may he abandoned to his tate,
so they can, by conciliating his opponents, add
one more to their ranks in the person of Mr.
Whitbread. Is this, I ask, affording no encou-
. rage tent to the itolical faction ? Not only have
the Whigs by such a sacrifice, given a most dan-
gerous saoctiOn to all the wildest views of the
Reformers, hot it has tenriad more than any thing-
else to the personal gratification of Sir Francis
Burdett; who invririablv turns his back upon
them, •wheo he can do without their aristance.
In Westminster, where he has at last proved him-
atif strong enough toohtust his Nominee upon us

in s!liie of them, how often has he tola us, that a
Whig is even worse thin a Tory, and depend upon
it, the Radicals in general are much of the same
opinion. If ever tha! fatal day for England should
arrive, whit the " Sovereignty of the People" is
eitablished to the extent they desire, the %%No
will be the first to suffer from their present ftiends,
and then will they have bitter cause to lament
that they di: not rather :co-operate with those
who merely differed from them as to the means of
preserviug the Coustittuion, than with a Party,
whose aim it ~as been to destroy the Constitution
itself.. 1 mn, Sir,

THE QUEEN.

We have copied from an Opposition Paper * of
yesteitiay on abstract, not an extract, of a letter
from the QUEER, complaining of the treatment she
has experienced from several Courts on the Conti-
nent, and threatening speedily to return to Eng-
land. This subjectis of so very delicate and pain-
ful a description that we are desirous of avoiding
all discussion of it ; but were cannot help express-
ing our deep regret that the country should at all
be menaced with the agitation of so very un-
pleasanr a question. lf, however, the evil-ad-
visers of the Must' ious Female are determined to
(nice the discussion, they must abide the conse-
nt), tiers : it is said that a conduct has been pursued
in a certain quarter so totally hostile to decency,
co degrading to rank, so disparaging to the dig-
nity of the Imperial Crown, that should the ques-
tion unhappily be pushed to extremity, either
some appropriate vindication of oil insulted
honour must be resorted to, or we shall afford
reason, for the degrading allegation, that the
English Nation considers contempt of character
a proof of virtue, and the notoriety of misconduct
a recommendation to impunity. Every thing.
liberal, with respect to the rank and establishment
of the lilustrions Female, is intended to be con-
ceded to her ; and even in the event of her -fol-
lowiog the advice of evil counsellors, in every
proceeding which this conduct may demand, the
utmost moderation and cant ion will be observed
by Ministers: The whole object, as we observed
in the first instance, will be to uphold the Sove-
reign Authority and Majesty of tLe Throne in its
just rights and dignities, to prevent as much as
possible all indecorous discussion, and render all
painful evidence unnecessary to support the pro,
cess which may be instituted, unless indeed a
daring defiance, froin supposed want of proof, may
make the production at it inevitable.

No less than three Officers belonging to that
beautiful regiment, the IBth /Hussars, have been
returned to the present Parliament. It is gratify-
ing to see the civic wreath thus entwined with the
well-earned laurels of our late gallant defenders.
We view with the gieatest pleasure the union of

will venture to predict, that the gallant indivi-

THE CIVIL LIST.

The arrangement of the Civil Aist occupies
much, of the time of Ministers. We do not be-
lieve that there is any design of proposing to
Parliament an augmentation of the sum, hut the
details are difficult and multifarious. Minister,
will have to prepare a statement of all the
branches both of the Hereditary Revenues of the
Crown and the Charges on the Civil List—and
the House of Commons will feel it to be its duty
to investigate the subject at once, with a view to
economy, and to the just maintenance of, the
Royal dignity. Till all this is done, the King
cannot know what sum will be actually fixed for
his regal establishment.—at►d consequently all the
projected additions to the Palace at Brighton are
for the time suspended. His Majesty, in fact,
has not set his toot within the Palace since he
came to the Throne.

Advices have been received in the City from
Santiago de Chili, dated sth November, by which
it appears that the Spanish line of !limit ship, the
Sant Elmo, had arrived safe at Valdivia, where
she found Colonel Sanchez (a Royalist) in com•
mend of that place, with 800 •men, and an ad-
vanced post of 700 more on the Biobio, in perfect
understanding with the Araucanian Indian's. The
La Prueba had also reached Guayaquil in perfect
safety. Lord Cochrane's several and unexpected
repulses before El Callao had set that party to
work in the capital who are opposed 'to British
interests, and those
,intrigues hal heal. revived
against him which gave rise to the difficulties he
had to contend with when he titst a:rived from
Eugland.--(11•id.)

SPAIN.

It has been stated in the French Papers, that
the northern provinces of Spain, including Bis-
cay, Asturias; and Guipascoa, had manifested a
backwardness. in acceding to the new order of
►hings; and it was presumed, therefore, that they
would refuse to swear to the Constitution. It
appears, however, by letters of the 11 inst. re-
ceived yesterday from Bilboa, that the Constitu-
tion was proclaimed on the 2d, and would be
followed by the regular forms of taking the oath,
and the festivities common to the rest of Spuin on
such an occasion. The sole cause of the delay
has been the independent form of Government
possessed:by the province of Biscay, which re-
quired the performance of certain ceremonies coil-

netted ctith tlte abolition of (Ad fcirms, and the
resignation of power by the existing 4 t!horities.
previously to the adoption of the new regime, an I
not any reluctance to follow the example set them

THE DISTURBANCES IN SCOTLAND. •
[Extract' froliz Private Lettel's

" GLASGOW, APRIL 10.—Since we last wrote
you, things are going on more slid more to re-
store tranquillity. Every day, however, by fresh
disclosnres, skews the magnitude of the danger
we have escaped. Every hour arrests are taking
place in our suburbs, or the surrounding country,
and the military have been incessantly employesl
in scouring the country, and dispersing bodies of
the Radicals. So harassing has been the duty,
that we know some of the Volunteer Yeomanry
who have not been in bed for five nights running.
—The Radicals are now certainly broken up in
Scotland, never we hope to unite again. Arms
are found hidden in various directions—many have
been thrown into the river, which has of late
been considerably swelled from rains. The roads
from this to England and Ireland are, we under-
stand, thronged with fugitives, endeavouring to
escape front the vengeance of the violated laws of
their country. A most distressing and fatal af-
fray took place at Greenock on Saturday, which
has occasioned the loss of a number of lives.—
Twelve are killed and dead of their wounds, an
equal number are dangerously wounded, and many
of them cannot recover. The mob, instigated by
a number of strangers (Radicals from other parts
of the country) attacked the Port Glasgow Vo-
lunteers, who were conducting some Radical pri-
soners from Paisley to Greenock. Atter lodging
these in gaol, the Volunteers were assailed, anti
severely hurt by a mob, collecting in g' eater
numbers every moment. They had recourse to
blank cartridges, thinking to intimidate, but that
had a contrary effect. The consequence was, they
were forced to fire in earnest, and with the effect
already mentioned. Some totally innocent indi-
viduals have fallen. Reinforcements of military
prevented further bloodshed, but previously the
gaol was forced, in defiance of all. the Authorities,
and .the Radical prisoners liberated. We hope
soon to be relieved from this distracted and alarm-
ing state, which has destroyed all business. We
are still under great apprehensions of bad accounts
from England—at least, such is the impression
upon The minds of our Authorities here."
" GLASGOW, APRIL 10.—You will have heard
frequently of the unpleasant state in which mat-
ters have been here for some days past, and of
the general posture of defence into which the
wriole country has been so suddenly roused. Our
troop (the Edinburgh) left home on Tuesday last,
and we have been moved up and down the coun-
try without any rest during the past week. We
came here on Saturday from Airdrie, and I ima-
gine we shall be kept here for some days, as the
plan adopted by those in power of detecting and
seizing the suspected ones and their arms requires,
a good many hands in constant supply. Every ,
night seizures of importance are making; and last
night about twenty individuals, with a eonsider-
able quantity of arms, were brought here and to
Stirling. The activity and energy displayed by
those who are here to assist, civil as well as mili-
tary, is very great ; and Sir William Rae's con-
duct, above all, is most judicious and meritorious;
lie seems resolved to break the neck of the busi-
ness. Here, as well as at Stirling and Edinburgh,
the gaols contain several who must . inevitably
swing for their lawless transgressions. 'there
seem to be no sceptics DOW as to the danger to
be apprehended from these rebellious rascals,
whose numbers were very considerable; and it is
only fortunate for us and our country that their
diabolical intentions were betrayed by their own
want of judgment and management. The publi-
cation of that Address,' which you would read
in the Courier of Thursday, was fortunate, as it
stamps treason upon all their proceedings, and
must, consequently, make their conviction a very
evident point of law and justice. I need not tell
yon that there is not a man of any influence what-
ever in this country who is not up in arms against
these ill-designing fellows ; and in this general
and universal feeling of loyalty among the .re-
spectable classes lies our most perfect security.
But the spirit of rebellion will not be broken
until severe examples are made; and our Magis-
trates must now have learnt, that, though their
streets have assumed a quiet appearance, yet those
who disturbed them are not altered either in their
principles or intentions, and that, until they are
disabled, they will not cease to insult the country
and its proper rulers, and well-disposed subjects
At Airdrie, where we were for two days, the spi-
rit of the people is as black as their persons ; and
no longer since than Friday last, at about 4 P.M.,
/we gave chase to upwards of 300 coiliers, who
*ere 'Observ-ed at drill about two miles off ; we
had tO make a circuit of five miles to come at
them, and although we went at full pace, yet they
had all rim to•ground before we got to the place,
and nothing but silent and deserted coal-pits were
to be seen. Cowardly rascals, as well as rebel-
lious, for our troop was only 70 strong, and the
company of infantry that followed after us could
not have' been seen by them, as we were three
miles in advance, yet they would not stand their
ground .for a anOment. 1 must now go on duty,
so adieu ; you shall hear from me in a day or two.

nymuir the other (key died yesterday of his wound."

OBEDIENCE of ORDBRS.—A Naval Comman-
dee, in the reign of Queen Anne, was ordered
to cruise with a squadron within certain limits
on the coast of Spain. Having received inform-
ation that a Spanish fleet was in Vigo, beyond his
limits, he resolved -to risk his personal respon-
sibility for the good of his country ; he accord-
ingly attacked and defeated the Spanish fleet,
with uncommon gallantry. When he joined the
Admiral under whom be served, he was ordered
under arrest, and was asked, " if he did not
know that, by the articles of war, he was liable
to be•shot for disobedience of orders i" He re-
plied, with great composure, that he was very
seusihle that he was,, but added, '' The man who
is afraid to risk his life in any way when the good
of his country requires it, is unworthy of a corn-
nuind in her Atijcsty's service,"—(Percy anec-

LONDON,
FIaDAY, APRIL 14, 1820.

%Ire this day received the following Importatit
Intelligence from the best Authotity

" The latest information from iludderafield and

its vicinity is of the 12th instant, and states, that

in the morning there were seen two or three parties
making observations in the direction of Flocktoo
and Grange Moor, armed with pikes and
guns, and assembling in large bodies. Tbd
had a drum and green flags, on one of which WO

inscribed, " lie that saliteth n man so that Ag

die, shall surely be put to death !"—Major DI
BATHE, with a party of the atl, Dragoon Guardte
and some of the Huddersfield Yeomanry, left
Huddersfield in pursuit of the above parties, 84

returned with seveoteen prisoners, 100 pike.,

guns, and other weapons, with the flag so ijo'

scribed.

" Tue Huddersfield armed Associations, tbouslit
unorganized, were supplied with arms, and caste

forward to defend the approaches to the. Market'
place, which was barricaded with waggons, floc•
The Disaffected were alarmed at the prep'
rations bus made, and which rendered the &Lal.

tional force under Sir JOHN BING, aim aftvp,ov.

. ,
ing, unnecessary.

" At Manchester, on the 11th, it was expected
that the Standard of Liberty would be plants
on the next day at Hudderifield and in the Nol4

of Lancashire, the latter with a view of drawid
the troops from Manchester, and then to rise
there on that day; and several well-known BS'

dicals were observed to proceed to the quart

designated for their first 'operations.
" This has been an effcceual blow to the Artsw4
Radicals. The Regulars and Yeomanry Cava!!lo
and Armed Association, have rendered the greatest
assistance, and their services reflect the higliog

credit on themselves a'nd their Officers.

" The Huddersfield Troop of Yeomanry W.

been on duty for the kat 13 days."

We received-a Letter from Halifax, Yorkshire,

this day, dated on IVednesday last, which states°
that an alarming rising of RADICALS had takc°
place in that town, insomuch that trade tolls

in a considerable degree affected. This is ft.°'

other proof of the existence of a connected cell

spiracy, and affords a strong presumption of su
intended simultaneous insurrection, if there 114
not been ,some mistake of the day, and it Lei
not been checked by the vigilance and firmness °I
the Magistrates and the Military.

We received this morning the Paris Paper' of
Tuesday last. In the Chamber of Deputies. °I;
Monday, a Report was made from the Specie!
Committee on the Projet 'respecting the C°4l'
toms, presented some time since. The discnssio;
was ordered to commence after the conclusion °_

that on the Projet respecting the Accounts. Iliej
discussion was then resumed on the Projet re'
specting the financial Accounts, which was Will
adjourned till Tuesday.
There is no further news in these Journals-fro;
Spain. TheJourriat des Debats contains agadri
article, but sot of so late a date as the articif.
