London, Westminster, the Borough, and all the
contiguous villages round the Metropolis, were again
illuminated on Saturday night, in celebration of the
victory obtained, not by the QUERN only over her
enemies, but of justice over iniquity, of innocence
over conspiracy, of good sense over folly, of liberty
over tyranny ! And a notice has been issued by the
LORD MAYOR, announcing that the Mansion House
will this night be illuminated—that is, in other words,
calling on the Citizens to exhibit all the splendour
of which such a scene is susceptible ; so that the
shew of this night will exceed anything that has
1 yet been seen on this joyous occasion. Let us en-
treat our fellow-citizens to be circumspect ; we
have still some enemies in the camp, who would
gladly avail themselves of any opportunity that may
present itself to mar the general hilarity, to turn our
joy into mourning, to make use of any pretext to
satiate their disappointed malice, no matter who may
be the victims. Let the Public never forget with
what avidity certain good men—oh, yes! friends of
order—exclusively loyal men, at Manchester, seized
upon the opportunity afforded them, by the mere
assembling of an unarmed multitude, to let loose
upon them a savage Yeomanry! Let us never for-
get that to these very men were given the delibe-
rate thanks of the very Ministers who either contrived,
or lent themselves to the proceedings which sought
the destruction of the QUEEN of ENGLAND ! Let
it be recollected that patroles of the Horse Guards,
armed, were employed throughout the whole of Sa-
turday in traversing the streets of Westminster—
(They were not permitted to enter the City !)—Let
these and many other facts which the recollection of
the Public will call up, be kept in memory, and the
necessity for circumspection will appear manifest.—
If any person shew a disposition to riot, or.to break
the public peace, let that man be counted one of the
"'QUEEN'S enemies—one of our own enemies; let the
well-disposed put down and keep down such foul
fiends, and deliver them over to the civil power.—
No one will say that this advice is unseasonable, who
looks at the aspect of some houses which neglected
to light up on Friday and Saturday—many of
the windows broken, and, in two or three instances,
the shop fronts driven in, as at the Offices of the
Courier and New Times. However atrocious the con-
duct of these Newspapers may have been in calum-
niating her MAJESTY, it is unmanly to attack their
property in this manner : so unmanly that we should
not be surprised, could the chief Instigators be dis-
covered, to find that they were connected with the
conspirators who have for so many months been oc-
cupied in contriving and circulating treasonable
hand-bills, plots, and mock conspiracies, to involve
thoughtless individuals in ruin. Beware of such men.
But we must proceed to another topic. What are
the steps likely to be pursued by Parliament when it
shall re-assemble on the 23d instant? Neither Minis-
ters nor Opposition—neither the Enemies nor the
Friends of the QUEEN, can answer this question. It
is believed, however, that on that day a Message
will go down from the Lords to the. Commons re-
quiring their attendance at 4)e Bar, when the Session
will be closed by a Speech from Commissioners. (as
it is not likely that the KING will go down in State
to deliver it from the Throne), and the Parliament
will be prorogued to the latter end of January or be-
ginning of February.
In the meantime let the good spirit of the good
People of England bestir itself, in a proper'and con-
stitutional manner ; for much remains to be done to
consolidate the victory that has been obtained by the
Free People and Free Press of England, over a deli-
berate attempt—and that attempt only a part of a
regular system—to contaminate the pure stream of
the administration of Justice—to undermine our Li-
berties and Constitution. Never were any set of men
so completely deserted by the People as the present
Ministers; and never more deservedly. From one
end of the country to the other their conduct has
been viewed by almost all classes with abhorrence.
To say they are unpopular, gives a very inade-
quate idea of the feeling entertained towards them.
It is a compound of contempt and detestation ; con-
tempt for their folly in supposing that the People of
England would be the dupe of their hollow and hy-
pocritical pretensions to a regard for the purity of
morals; and detestation at the nefariousness of the
means which have been resorted to, for the purpose
of destroying the QUUN. No, thank GOD 1 Eng.

land is-nnt.yet the proper soil for conspirviee. Eng-
litho= are too strait forward in their Slits to have
any relish for such refinements. • Had Lord
Poor. :hewn more deference 'to the good common
sense of Englishmen, than to the embodied folly bf
the OurraDAS, the BROWNS, the STIWARTS, and
the MIINSTERSI he would not now start and tremble
whenever an old woman happens to cross his path.
. But, as we have said, the good sense of the country
has yet much to achieve. It has, by its powerful
energies, put of, for at least twenty years, the reign
of a military despotism—to which, in our opinion, and
that of all deep-thinking men, everything was point-
ing in this country. And is this a trifle to have
gained ? In the present age of the world, to put off
such an evil, even for such a nominally short period,
is to put it off for evert for two powers are now
moving in opposite directions—and both of them
with an accelerated and accelerating velocity.—
Formerly Despotism was ascending : it has new
passed the summit, and is precipitating, with increas-
ing bounds, to the gulph which will bury it for ever.
But will the monster retire without some writhing—'
without some attempts to recover, by emplo)ing
violent remedies—without some dead throes? No,
he will not, unless prevented by the good sense aid
more proper prescription of the public will, that he
submit himself to the constitutional regimen of the
laws.

There must be no more ex post facto enactments—
no more Bills of Pains and Penalties—no more il-
legal quackery and anomalous proceedings ! The'
good sense of England has willed this; and we take
upon us to say that, notwithstanding all the vaunt-
ing and boasting of certain Learned, and Noble, and
Reverend individuals, before they were taught their
own weakness, there is not one among them pos-
sessed of nerve sufficient to embolden them to make
such another attempt as we have witnessed.
Public journalists have high and important duties
to perform ; and we have never been backward to
discharge our trust with fidelity. We have ever
been the friends of older and good government ; for,
without this blessing, what would mankind become ?
but we have uniformly opposed every attempt to sub-
vert the liberties of our country, and the violation of
public law. We have never—no, never—lent our-
selves to party, whether in or out of power ; but have
ever applied our best abilities to judge measures
and not men. And on all occasions, as far as we
could make our feeble voice heard, we have made
it to be heard in defence of privileges which were se-
cured to us by the energies and best blood of our fore-
fathers, and which ought not to be lightly estimated.
We will not speak of former trying occasions, but
on the one which has had so glorious an issue, we
may be proud in stating that we were the first to
call upon the country to give courage to a persecuted
Quest:, by Addresses of Condolence. How well
this call has been seconded by the Free Press, and by
the incorruptible love of justice which animates every
honest English bosom, we need not say. We
were also the first—when the obstinacy of Ministers
gave such strong demonstration of an intention to
force the abominable, but now deceased Bill through
the Lords, and to send it to the Commons—to call upon
the country to prepare Petitions to the House of Com-
mons never to suffer such a detestable Bill to pollute
their table. This reasonable call has been hailed by
instant exertion, not only throughout London, but
the entire kingdom. Our accounts from the different
Counties, Cities, and Towns, of Requisitions to that
effect, are so numerous that we cannot find room
even to mention them, but this is now rendered un-
necessary, by the happy turn that affairs have taken.
We intended this day to call upon the Public to
address both his MAJESTY and the QUEEN, on the
acquittal of her MAJESTY; but in this the general
voice of the country has outstript the Press and the
Mail. A Requisition is now in•cburse of signature
for a Meeting of the Common Council of London, to
address his 'MAJESTY on the triumph of his QUEEN
over the machinations of the real enemies of his
Throne and Family. The QUEEN will also be ad-
dressed on her victory over the vilest plot that was
ever engendered against innocence—not excepting
even the proceedings which brought the Queen of
FRANCE to the block.
Throughout the different Wards in the City, simi-
lar Addresses are in preparation ; and the Mails of
this morning inform us, that in several of the places
where Petitions were preparing for the House of
Commons, they will be converted into Addresses to
their MAJESTIES.

Saturday morning her MAJESTY rose early, with
renewed spirits, and during the day received nu-
merous distinguished visitors, who called to congra-
tulate her en the happy issue of her trial

On her MAJESTY'S return to Brandenhurgh House
on Friday she found there several Italian Ladies, No-
blemen, and Gentlemen, who had the same afternoon
arrived in this country, to gtve evidence in her favour
in the House of Commons, if (as was expected) the
Bill should have been sent down to that House. They
had the honour of dining with her MAJESTY, and also
Mr. Alderman WOOD, Countess OLDI Colonel Ou-
VISIiA and his Lady, and a number Of others of her
MAJESTY'S friends, and the evening was spent with
the greatest delight and satisfaction.
A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday, at two
o'clock.
Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE at-
tended Divine Service at the Chapel Royal, in the
King's Palace, St. James's.
