STOI'K EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Norfolk papers arrived this morning- to the fOth
of Jik. The following is an extract frees the
pper of the 19th of Jaly :----
"Captain La Fort, of the scanner Jane, states, that
• staring his stay it St. Thomas's, there came in a British
sbiy..of tire line, commanded by a Near-Admiral, a
frigee, and a wan of war brig, a French frigate, and
a Freffchinan of tsar brig, all reported to be cruising
for pirates and slave vessels. The French frigate
Duchess d'Angoulerne, off St. Bartholomew's, captured
tw3 piratical schooners. The crews, together with
the Captain and Officers, made their escape by jump-
ing, overboard and swimming ashore. The frigate

proceeded to Martinique with her prizes.

The sessadous raised in the minds of ministerial
writers by the lanasx's Letter to the Korst, do trot
appear to have abased. Their rage against it is full
as violent to-day as it was on Monday, and truly they
have reason in their rage ; for the Letter is certainly
calculated to do an :nfinite deal of injury to their
cause. Its matter and its manner they may cen-
sure for their strength, and they may condemn
as ill directed and ill-timed. They may secretly de-
plore its pablicatirn as disappointing all their hopes
of her M%JtATI'd submission, and of destroying every
chance of removing from their employers the odium
and the awful responsibility they had incurred ►y the
prosecution of the tdr•►:r.n. The nature and the ten-
dency of the Letter had been doubtless deliberately
weighed by her llsiesvr ; and the publication of it is
her own affair. Of the propriety of the circumstances
she states, the arguments she employs, and the lan-
guage she expresses, she must be admitted to be the
fittest judge, who is the party who has been solely
and most deeply concerned in the affair at issue,
and must alone be answerable fur the result. It
is an easy task for those ter charge impresience ear

complaints who hare no experience of sufferings. We
hear other people's calamities, as DRAM SWIIT judici-
ously observes, with a great deal of Christian patience.
If the persecuted and afflicted are to be denied a vent

to their distress, it deprives them of the last conso-
lation of the wretched, and gives strength and sanction
to the oppressor. Examples there may be of mag-
nanimity under oppression, where the sufferer sub-
mitted without murmuring at the infliction. ANNA
BOLETN, when she bid her head upon the Work, at
the instance of her husband, Nanny, could beseech the
Almighty to preserve his MAJEser long to reign over
his people, and to declare that a more gentle or mild
a Prince never swayed sceptre! But such an example
is an instance more fit for admiration than for imi-
tation. Least of all can they be allowed to censure
the different style which the maguatti 000 ity of her pre-
sent 31s.triery pursues, who would only increase the
cause of her suffering in proportion as she succumbed.
Least of all can they be allowed to condemn the style
of her Itls.szsry's Letter on account of its hire's,-
perance, who, without any other provocation than
what its spirit gave them, have indulged in a strait
of Invective unparalleled even by themselves.
virulence is excited by the appeal the Letter makes to,
the feelings of the public. The whole affair Might
be conducted very smoothly to the end they wish, were
it not for the.popular clamour which these complaints
excite. tier ?Jitneys' has appealed to the rabble, and
imbibed their spirit I Mee ii 4egredeti
the swinish multitude, and she adopts Mir Style!

Why du you make such a confounded noise," said a
philosophic hatcher to a victim of the sutinish tribe:
Why do you not follow the example of the pretty
lamb ? See how wildly he submitted to the knife—anti
died :" •

A ustrian troops are certainly marching into Italy
to the amount (it is said) of thirty battalions of Ilunga
"'Lin infantry.

By the Duke of Kent packet, arrived at Painiouth
from Lisbon, we learn, that though the diecentent of
the Portuguese has reached an alarming height, no
popular commutions had taken place. All ranks were
inipatiently looking fur the return of Marshal Beres-
ford front Rio Janeiro, in the hope that he would
bring directions fur ameliorating the political condition
of the people, and thus obviate the necessity of resort-
ing to measures similar to those pursued in Spain.
By a ma* which arrived yesterday, we hale re-
ceived Dutch Papers to the 12th inst. They supply
no intelligence of interest. A paragraph dated Berlin
the 3 insf. says, 6. Onr papers do not yet contain ary
thing respecting a representative Constitution, which
1 aspen had said was to have published to day"—the
natal anniversary of the King of Prussia.
Other accounts state, that the long talked of Con-
etitntion, is to consist of nothing more than the plan
which was said to be arranged some time since, for
giving provincial. states to the different secsions of the
Prussian monarchy,
After the Middlesex address to the Queen had been
presented yesterday, the Committee dined together, at
Kensington : S. C. Whitbread, Esq. in the chair, sup-
ported on the right by Sir (I. Noel, Mr. Flanagan.
and Mr. Benson ; P. Moore, Esq. N. P. was Vice-Pre-
sident. In the course of the evening. it was an-
nounced, that the Queen was approaching, when the
company immediately repaired to a most spacious bal-
cony in the front of the house; when her Majesty had
the condescension to order the carriage to step, while
the company, with their glasses in their hands, una-
nimously drank her health, with three times three.
Mr. Flanagan had informed her Majesty, and in the
course ofthe evening assured the company, that if the
Roman Catholics of Ireland, however labouring turner
disabilities, were offered Emancipation on the casaba
that they should decline praying for the Queen, they
would refuse it—as their conscience alone dictated to
them in religious affairs, and he was happy that nei-
ther King nor Parliament had any controul over them
in that respect.
A respectable paper of this morning states, with con-
fidence, that his Majesty has given up his intention of
a sea excursion. It would have been considered very
unseasonable in the King's taking his pleasurable In-
dulgence at the moment when his Queen is undergoing
prseeention by the extraordinary measure of a Bill of,
Pains and Penalties.
