On the-question 'that now so deeply agitates the
pubfic mind, some of our contemporaries seem•to set
every sentiment ,of morality and justice it complete
defiance. One el' them represents it as the " lan-
guage of common sense, sound morality, and national,
justice," that if the QUEEN be guilty to the extent
imputed, the KING must be released from her, with-
out entering into any consideration of his Maassres
conduct. The very idea of recrimination is treated
as an absurdity, because an inquiry relative to the
Qt-Emis conduct abroad has nothing to do with that of
others at home! He goes even a step farther, and
after mentioning a report, to us perfectly new, that
her MAJESTY possessed, on going abroad, a sort of
general letter of licence, ." couched in terms not suit-
able to the Royal character,* contends, that the pro-
duction of such a document would be of no avail, as
" it would only spew the influence of momentary irri-
tation on one side, but a deep provident policy on the
other r After stating our total disbelief in the existence
of such a document, we would only ask this defender
of morals, what would be the fate of a private indivi-
dual, applying for a divorce at Doctors Commons,
or suing for damages in Westminster Hill, with a
paper of this description staring him in the face?—
Would not the tribunal which should entertain his
suit for a moment after its exhibition, incur indelible-
disgrace? His success, under such circumstances,
would be subversive of common sense, destructive of
all sound morality, and an act of flagrant injustice
towards the defendant. In this specimen of sophistic
reasoning; and lax morality, we may perceive one of
the consequences which it was the object of Mr.
WiLIESFOREE to avert, by stifling this investigation
in the birth.

Mr. BROUGHAM, last night, in the House of Com-
mons, detailed, at considerable length and with much
ability, his plan on the subject of the Education of
the Poor. He stated the expense of building schools
and houses for the Teachers at about half a million,
and the annual expense at £llOO,OOO. Lord CAS-
TLEREAGH recommended postponing the measure to I
the next Session; and Mr. BROUOHAII replied, that
he should be governed by what appeared to be 11101
sense of the House. Should the plan be realized to'
anything like the extent proposed by the eloquent
author, the most favourable results to the morals and

happiness of the people may be confidently expected.
Mr. BROUGHAM hinted at the probability df his
retiring from Parliament, that he might be the
better enabled to devote himself to the service of
tte Quzzas upon her approaching trial.

The Paris Papers of Sunday and Monday have
arrived.—The discussion of the Election Project of
law commenced in the Chamber of Peers on Sault-
city, and after sit speakers were heard, for, upon,
and against it, was adjourned till Monday.
The Chamber of Deputies are still occupied with
the dry details of the Budget of Expenditure.
The Duke de CAZZ has arrived in Paris, and has
had frequent interviews with the Knit; and his Mi-
nisters. From the preparations making at his hotel,
it is supposed that he will take his departure for
London very soon.

An article is given in these Papers dated Vienna;
tie 14t/t of June, which we are happy to find com-
pletely contradicts the report sent abroad by the As-
!,ociation of German Merchants fur the establish-
ment of a prohibitive system against foreign mer-
chandize, that they had succeeded in obtainirg
concurrence of the Germanic Diet to their object.
Nothing, it is said, can be more false.

Aladrid Papers have .arrived to the 15th instant.
The following is the only article ik them worthy
of notice

MADRID, JUNE 14.

Advice lately received at Madrid from Peru,
6:seek of the brilliant condition of the army, and of
in superiority tb all the enemies whom it may have
to combat. The Viceroy of New Spain, in a dis-
c patch, dated the 23d of February, state!, that the'
w:'ole country is in the best order.
'I he celebrated Elizaicin, Adjutant of the Ist bat-

talion of Catalonia, which so distinguished itself in
sweating to the Constitution at the Havannab, has
just arrived at Madrid, having left the Haraustab on
the 15th of April. The town sad the island enjoyed
perfect tranquillity, and all the inhabitants were ex-.

trernely satisfied.
We blown from Burgos, that the Ci,nl Governor be-
haves well to the SpUniards returned from Prance,
who are detained in that city, with a degree of gene-
rosity and delicacy which do him much honour.—
Spain, now free and glorious, is on the point of seeing
the basis of its Representative Government firmly
consolidated,. notwithstanding the foolish hopes of
some infatuated men, who talk with an air of mystery
of letters from -Gallicia and Andalusia, which an-
nounce, as they say, distrust, alarming opinions, ar-
maments, and preparations for defence, with other
tales equally observable. No human power can ar-
rest the will of the great majority of the nation,-sup-
ported by the King.

'New York Papers,to the 4th of June arrived this
forenoon.

On the 80th of May, the Ohio, a new ship of the
line, was launched at New York. She is said to be
the finest ship of which the Navy of the United States
has yet had to boast. The Americans haVe now
afloat and nearly ready to launch,inine ships of
line, besides their numerous frigates and smaller
vessels.

Accounti from New Orleans state, "That General
Lona has re-organized the Expedition against Texas,
and includes in Ms views the whole of New Mexico.
He has at present about 6000 troops under his com-
mand at Galvestown, and has moreover obtained as-
sistance from the Venezuelian Patriots, who. have
sent him their Heat and Admiral. Lafitte, the pirate,.
has also joined this band of adventurers. If these
reports (it is added) prove correct, we may look'for
operations of rather a decisive character."

A new Governor arrived at &.Ma's, Porto Rico,
about the Ist of June, and caused the new Constitu-
tion of Spain to be proclaimed, and the ellths to be
administered to the Garrison. Great rejoicings suc-
ceeded the ceremonies.
The James, Daysnionn, from Liierpool to Savad-
nab, was plundered by a privateer, of 14 guns, and
full of men. She had on board 20,900 dollars, which
they took, together with a quantity of stores and pro-
visions. She sailed 'from Cuba, and was out three
months.

Extract of a Letter from Freetown, Serra Leone,
of the 14th of March s--" Our harbour continues tol
present a most gratifying aspect. Vessels arrive daily,l
and others depart, pregnant with the fruits of a legi-
timate commerce. The meritorious exertions of his
Majesty's squadron in the cause of justice and hit.
manity, have crowded the harbour with Slave vessels.
On Friday last, 106 individuals,' of all ages, were
landed as Slaves, taken from on board the ship la
Marie, and are now free at Waterloo. Mr. /ENEMY
has recently been appointed_ a Lieutenant in his Ma-
jesty's service, and detached by Governor MTARTHY
Ito the Galina*, with twenty soldiers, to prevent the
Slave Track."

The news of the Revolution in Spain was received
in Caraccas (in April), but no steps had been taken,
up to the lst May, to follow► the example. General
Mottar.ne was hourly expected, when it was supposed
the Constitution would be proclaimed. It was re-
ported at Laguira, that the expedition from Mar-
garine bad met with a severe repulse at Maracaybo,
and that besides killed and wounded, 300 men were
taken prisoners.

Yesterday his MASRITT held a Levee. A Guard
of Honour marched into the Court Yard, and a De-
tachment of the Life Guards took their -station in

tern, 'pursuant to adjournment, Lord Suarrasarar
took the President's seat; and after silence had been
proclaimed, Mr. &Ace was in attendance in sup-
port of a petition to be presented in behalf of Lord

pionship to our dread Lord the KING, at his Corona-
