[DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.]

[Morning Post.]
Both ROUSES of PARLIAMENT meet to-morrow, when, as
We have already stated, a Prorogation will take place. It is
certain that no communication relative to the Queen will be
Made till the commencemebt of the next Session in January.
It is hoped by many that this delay will afford time for the
evidence on the late trial to make its due impression on the
Public, and that the present effervescence will consequently
have suhsided. This may be in part reasonable, and we are
willing to allow mioht be generally so considered, -could we
brio:: ourselves to think that there was any sincerity hi the
professed opinion of the Queen's innocence. If, tinder the
delusion created• by mischievous faction, she weft Yeally ac-
quitted by the misled popular judgment, there 'might be a
hope that troth would at last become intelligible, and that
error (as great as has ever been committed against reason
and morality) would be acknowledged with a sincerity becom-
ing the once moral character of the people of England. But
it is rvally a lamentable complacency to the present clamour,
and a oaogeraars misapprehension of its character, to admit
that there is any sincerity in one of a thousand who assert
that they think the Queen not guilty. The mistake cannot •
be made, except by the very poorest of the vulgar, who are
Unable to read, or who have not seen a correct report of the
trial. The evidence (notwithstanding Mr. Brougham's judi-
cions stop in the production of the Queen's witnesses) went
far enough to make a sincere blunder impossible on any other
condition. No solemnity of asseveration can persuade us
that any man above this class is a sincere acquitter. We must
look fur other more probable impulses of his conduct than
those of conscience ; and unhaprily they are easily to be
found. or rather they force themselves upon the least ob-
serving. The higher opponents of Government we shall
not now classify ; it • is unnecessary to describe their
ernel and uniform custom of encouraging' the hope of
Revolution, till it reaches an excess at which possibly they
may be called into power to repress it. Nor would it be true
to say that every other partisan of the Queen is a thorough
Reeolutiouist, though it is palpable, and may be set forth
strictly by nomination, th et every Revolutionist is a partisan
of the Queen. The fact however is, that although there be
write whose discontent overcomes their sincerity, without ac-
tually tendering them IteVOlUtiOniStS, it IS by revolutionary
-vieo s, in one degree or other, that the mass of our present
clamourers is compacted and aggregated. And it is nut
toerely rapacity, the old and main mover of all revolutions,
that now summons the individuals into crowds. The domes-
tic effects of the French Revolution base never been known
in their details by one half of the now existing community—
their horrors are but faintly recollected by many of those
who were cotemporary with them. Thus Envy, which stands
next in the causes of Revolution, is left without the curb
that Policy would otherwise put upon it ; and the absurd
hope of lowering dowu tri a certain point, and nut lower, nut
only takes its old effect with the inexperienced, but is begin-
ping to revive with those who felt its fallacy as long as the
plunder and the massacre of the middle classes in France were
fresh in their recollection. We do nut pursue this subject
fur:ber, because our immediate purpose is nut to argue with
revolutionary schemers, or to expose their main practices,
but to strew that circumstances (to which the astonishing
abuse of the Press should be added) trace rendered the disaf-
fected much more numerous than they were a few years
since, and to say that. as these form the mass of the Queen's
acquitters, it is vain to expect a diminution of mischievous
clamourers ; and therefore that it will behove Government to
.continue to look well (as they have hitherto so laudably done)
to the protection of the lives and property of the loyal and
peaceable classes of the community.
In the_Court of Cornrow) Council yesterday, a discussion
took place on the incendiary plan of this Queen for going into
the City in a public manner, under the most impious pretence.
It will tie seen that several of those opposed to the late Bill
_condemned this new scheme for provoking riot. That she
ought to be thankful for the lenity of the King and his Mi-
nisters we cannot deny; but we should like to know in what
her " triumph" consists. Has she. gained, or has she any
prospect of gaining, more than was offered her before the trial
commenced ? Has she got so much as 50,0001. per annum ?
Ic tier name restored to the Liturgy? No; this will nut be
asserted. But it is observed, that to have closed with the
terms offered her, would have been to have induced a sus-
pe-ion of guilt. This is the audacious argument of her friends.
But do they find a vindication of her character in the convic-
tion awarded against her? Undoubtedly they do, or there
Can be no" trinorph." Her Majesty has. beers pronounced
guilty of adultery—of filthy incourinence, by almost the whole
ofthe Members of the House of Peers. Let her console her-
self for this with the resolutions of the Common Council, and
the declaration of that eminent statesman, Mr. Griffiths, that
he believes her to be " as innocent as snow"—as " unsunned
snow" he meant, but his aleatory was too feeble to retain till
the eloquence of his inspiring genius.—(lbid.)

[The Times.]
To-morrow is the day on which both Houses of Parliament
assemble. This is, of itself, an incident worthy notice in a
country in which only one House of Legislature has been sit-
ting fur months, trying, by its• own power, the Queen of the
Tana, after the other House bad declared such trial to be
injurious to the Throne and detrimental to the best in•
terests of the country. The period since the memorable
relinquishment of. the Bill has been filled up with many
roa/firs. One is of a singular nature, and is very confi-
dently attested ; it is to this effect :—That Ministers, feel-
iog the danger of the business in which they were engaged
against the Queen, and being also sensible of the rottenness
of the ground on which they stood, did mutually pledge
themselves to " stick to each other," to go tljrough with
the work, and not to desert or betray the cause in which
they were engaged. An honourable league this, no doubt
bond of Holy Alliance—which we apprehend would, if
proved, subject the member's to the penalties of a conspiracy.
Another rumour, but hardly resting on so good authority as
the last, is, that the King had himself expressed some indig-
nation that her Majesty's application for a Palace had re-
mained so long without an answer, Lord Liverpool's absence
in the country being rather an aggravation than palliation of
the slight. Insults offered to Royal personages are not infre-
quent in these times, and the people will be less shocked at
them hereafter than they have hitherto been. Those who
have seen a Queen and a woman vilified, injured, outraged,
to the last degree, and probably by the basest of mankind,
will not, and cannot, pity men and Princes much, should the
storm of slander or violence fall on them. Let all who are
in that station beware; or rather they should have bewared,
" Quail; temere in nosmet legent sancimus

If Lord Liverpool's delay, perhaps unintentional or unavoid-
aisle, has offended the King, what will his Majesty think of
Bishop Van Mildert's letter ?—lt is still unknown, to the pub-
lic at least, what part Mr. Canning means to act. He may
exalt his name, and raise himself in the esteem of the hest
and most sincere of his countrymen, if he pleases—and he
may do otherwise. But he cannot really, and in his con-
science, approve of the persecution of an Illustrious Lady, of
whose wet its he is the best judge, and of which he stands re-
corded as the warmest admirer. He will see, if he pleases,
the estimation in which the incorrupt part of the British na-
tion hold the'r Queen, on Wednesday next, when her Majesty
attends Mine Service at St. Pistil's, to return thitiks, in the
midst of a grateful people, for her wonderful preservation,
tints far, from the machinations of her enemies. _ _ .

The Spanish Cortes had decided to prorogue on the 9th
inst. On the 6th the King had not returned to Madrid from
the Escurial. The Finances appear to be in much embar-
rassment ; various plans have been proposed for pecuniary
relief, but have been rejected successively, as impracticable.
The Cortes have agreed to establish entrepots throughout the
Monarchy-8 in Spain, 17 in America, and t at Manilla; this,
undoubtedly, though an indirect, is a certain road to future
alb tie nce.—(ibid.)
The news from Italy, though not yet decisive as to the issue
of the present crisis, continue to be.of a threatening and war-
like character. Austria, it is said, " will not depart front the
" resolution she has formed with regard to Naples." But let
us consider this subject calmly. Suppose the designs of the
Emperor Francis to be of the most hostile nature towards the
Neapolitans, will he undertake to act alone ? It so, are his
finances such as to furnish the means of an offensive opera-
tion on a scale of great magnitude against a distant power ?
If not, whence is the money to come ? Will Russia,
heartily though she might encourage an undertaking
by which the strength of Austria would be consumed
far away frosts the Polish frontier, and her name be render-
ed odious amongst the people of Europe—will Russia, on this
occasion, be able or willing to share even with her Ally the
expenses of the war? Can ussia do so ? Will France assist
her old rival in such a project? Have the Ministers of Eng-
land any thing better to contribute than vain sighs or empty
benedictions in favour of this crusade against the liberties of
uirslikind ? We think not. Another ioan for the use of Aus-
tria would not, we suspect, have many subscribers in this
country, .even were it secured on the contributions about to
be levied on the unhappy Neapolitans. The Droits -of Ad-
ixiiialty are all, we hope and trust, devoured ere this by archi-
li,tural and other monsters; so front that source Naples has
probably nothing to apprehend. We cau I ikewisegive a pretty

shrewd guess what sort of ptirposes the secret-sera ice money let
been employed in: part of the road to Nap,, s it may, itnieed,
bare travelled; but it is doubtful whether the demands of
Messrs. Vilmarcati and Rastelli have left behind them any
thing worthy of Prince Metternich's acceptance. The upshot
of it is, therefore, that if Austria cannot beg or borrow funds
at home or abroad, she must do as Buonaparte did, make
" war support war"—that is to say, that, every march she
makes, she must levy contributions to provide for the move-
ment immediately following ; and when she arrives at Naples—
if she should arrive there—she must maintain her troops by
appropriating the whole produce of the country. She must
apply the force of despotism to the ends of spoliation ; and then
the world will, no doubt, be congratulated on this glorious
victory. Nay, . the poor suffering Neapolitans will he called
upon to bless their liberators, whom they starve themselves
to feed, for the restoration of their ancient monarchy, and
for their release from the care and responsibility of free•
door. Is it, then, for such results that we are to hear
eon- Ministers and their Allies boasting of the triumphs
which wore achieved by them against a former tyrant ? Was
ever a sift of Providence so abusrd—was ever a great deli-
verance of Nations from military bondage so perverted—as
we ate now informed that it is on the point of being, to the
reproduction of that very intolerable mischief, the removal of
which the p'eopl'e of Europe were assured was worth tuiiliuuy
of lives, and litinelieds or millions of treasure, and would be
folloWed by age4"ol.ilierty and peace ! And what has Naples
• done to merit this horrible castigation ? She has dune fur Inr-
self, in 1820, what it is the Bride of Europe collectively, of Rus-
sia, and Austria, and Prisssia, and Spain, and Rolland, and Ba-
varia, and 'every petty state of Germany, in their separate
characters that they performed its the years 1813 and 1814,
—she has thrown off an illegitimate and nun:misfit utiontil
yoke, which pressed Olson the shoulders of a reluctant people
—she has given herself, what all ttee Continental Members of
the Coligress of Vienna, except Russia, promised most so•
unruly that they would give their sulujectsviz, a represen-
tative Coestit ut ion. If, then, the establishment of a Voirstit
tints on such principles was a criminal act, the promise of it by
the German Potentates was a criminal prowl-se. But was it so
pronounced by Austria or Russia ? Did these formidable Go-
vernments protest against such 'assurances when they were
formally given ? Were not, on the contrary, those assurances,
when under discussion in the German Diet, recognised by
the very official acts which suggested pretexts for eostponine
their fnlfilment ?—There has not been a single topic urged in
favour of the Free Constitutions of Spain, Portugal, and
Naples, which had not been long since addressed by thy No-
vereigns of Europe to their braee subjects for aid II the ex-
tremity of their evil fortune; against the brute violente of
Buonaparte. With what face, then, can Prince Metter-Mel.
pass a decree, which, under the phrase " stability of Goverte
mein," entails upon whole of civilized mein Malting
lein than an eternity of bondage. Who is he that dares to fasten
down at a point of his own individual selection the complex
and multiplied fluctuations of human affairs ? Who is this be-
ing, more peremptory than Providence itself, that pre-
sumes to fix a line beyond which the spirit of his fellow-et ea-
t ores shall not expatiate—nor their enjoyments be enlarged—
nor their lot be amended? But the scheme is preposterous
even more than it is unjust. By private communications,
which we subjoin; it will be seen that the Pope himself re-
gards his handful of subjects as too strung to•be restrained by
any such bonds as Mince Metternich and the Statesmen 4.f
Trtippau would impose upon them. The Pepe is become a
patron of politkal liberty, and is said to have actually called
together the Cardinals, " to prepare a free Constitutions
" which shall be submitted to his subjects." This, tutu, was
the substance of the answer sent by his Holiness to the Au-
strian Government, which had offered hint a body of troops
to keep down the free spirit. of his people I Will not this
shame the Neapolitan expedition front its unholy purpose ?
In the mean time the Court of France remonstrates against
the invasion of Naples. The Cabinet of St. James's must
probably do the saute—not being able to assist the invaders.
it .will make a virtue of necessity, and put on the'ap-
pearance of condemning them. But a letter from Vienna,
of the ath, says—that the Austrians have received or-
ders to pass the Po. We can guess at the advice tinder
which Austria is acting. lint what a state has Europe
arrived 'at—Europe, which was settled by Lord Castle-
, reagh !--What anxiety--what confusioniniquities--havepres-
sions—what iniqUitieshave been the ftuit of his shallow
and profligate negociations!• What single trace do we find
ins all Isis works of the hand or head of a British Statesman ?
What has he done for Commerce ? What for Liberty—her
parent and guardian ? Where has he hot sacrificed the weak,
whether Genoa was to be betrayed—or Saxony extinguished
—or Parga rased—or his own Queen dishonoured ? Where
has be not armed those who were already powerful with new
means of persecntion 'and 'oppression ? Let the-present aspect
- of Europe speak the praises
-.if its boasted pacificator.

44 According to leiters from Vienna, of the sth inst., a
singular communication had been received there from his
Holiness the Pope, in reply to the offer of the Austrian Go-
vernment to send troops into the Papal dominions for the pur-
pose of tepressing the ardent desire fur a free Constitution
which had been manifested by the subjects of his Holiness.—
The Pope's letter states that he is grateful for the protection
offered him by Austria; hut that he was so sensible of the
spirit of the people, and of their unanimous wish on that sub-.
ject, that he felt compelled to abandon the thought of placing
a military controut over them, and that lie had him,clf, there-
fore, called together a Conclave, for the purpose of preparing
a free Constitution to be submitted to his subjects."

" Letters were received yesterday from Vrenna, dated the
Bth instant, stating that, during the night of the 6th, a courier
from Truppau passed through that city with orders to the
army in Italy to pass the Po.' —(lbid.)

[New Times.]
The Paris Papers confirm the general impression that we
have long since received, of the gratifying effect produced by
the birth of the infant son of the late Duke de Berri. The
baptism of the Royal Infant is fixed for the 4th of De-
cember; and this ceremony will doubtless be attended
by the two Legislative Chambers. whose Sittings are
to commence the day preceding. The people of France,
so long convulsed with the contending efforts of
ferent factions to attai❑ a preponderance, are now cheer-
fully willing to attach themselves to that dynasty, which
seems marked by the finger of Pr.ovidence to reign over them
in the presence of this Illustrious Infant. The prevalence of
this sentiment is remarkably striking it► the result of the late
Elections. It might have been supposed, that so distant a
contingency as the succession of the Young Duke de Bor-
deaux would not have produced any great effect on the Elec-
tions to the Legislature of 1830, but the reverse is the fact;
and the retyrns already prove, that the Royalists will receive
a decided accession of numbers, principally from the feeling
of permanence which the birth of the young Prince gives to
t he Throne.

We are happy to observe, that the tone assumed by the
Queen's scribes, relative to her intrusion on St. Paul's, be-
comes weak and uncertain, as the folly and impropriety of the
act become more obvious. It would surely be an insult on
the Almighty, for any person who had been found guilty on
'a public necusatloo, to return thanks in the face of the Con-
gregation for an acquittal! The Times, however, labours to
extract from the recent proceedings, not merely matter of
exultation on the part of the Queen, but matter of abuse.
and censure on all who have conscientiously delivered their
sentiments on her conduct. A milder, more amiable, or
more excellent Prelate cannot exist than the Bishop of Lan-
daff yet against this virtuous person does The Times direct
its violence and rancorous abuse, because in thejust discharge
of his public duty lie did not exactly Meet the wishes of the
Radical Faction, or devote to her Majesty's thanksgiving that
time which she Ivould have acted more discreetly in dedicat-
ing to private devotion and penitence.—(//kid.)
