The Statesman.
London, England, 1820-05-11 00:00:00

If e most can create
,Ind'ation or esteem—if the loss of a fatlicr and a
otter, slain the glorions struggle tor political
torts, can call forth pity, then our illustrious Queen
mot excite the iuve sad ,rialpatlsy of every good and
etrivtic bort. Aid with what feelings must such
los have witnes.ed a noble individual exiled front
tot series. of whi..h she should have been the leading
so; sttaeked by Aost who should have spread the
sAd before her sacred person—driven from a count' y
t•ehieh she was at brat isritttl, and for which she had
0614144 her own, and becoming a wanderer in a
!)trign land, exposed to rimy imtiv,ity and insult.
Itt want of that protection to which her just claims
rad io so way been forttited.
lathe midst of these afflictions her Royal Daughter,
irlont she hod r, a ed with the tenderest tare, snatched
hoar her--boner, we humbly hope, to realms of bliss,
there to receive the reward of those virtues first in-
stilled int.; her hart and mind by her illustrious but
rotated parent. Could that bright example,
how
with% we behold her flying to the island's rittuust
verge, la pourieg balm into the bleeding wounds of
a Word ssotber!—and ought nut we to step forward,
..n the day of her arrival in London, allunequivocy
the
to
testify our heartfelt joy at her return, aid e
earliest moment afterwards publicly to address her on
that ace-mina ": thus giving that cheering sanction to
her conduct whieleit merits, and coavincing her ene-
mies that the innocent aud unfortunate shall never be
denied the protection of the people of England.

H tcha is the town a Lich It a : the theatre of 'owe of
144lireror's grand oTeration;. We are glad to find
that Sir Home Popham is perfectly recovered, indeed :

billertailor, ~ Chitty, had finally been condemned.
Advice.. from bicrra Leone have been received to tbe
19th of March. Ihe inhornan traffic, the Slave Trade,
we regret to find, was still carrying on with great ac-
tivity, no”rithstanding the efforts made by the autlio-
roles for the purpose of suppressing it. In the P. n-
ear and fiallincis riv,,rs in particular, the traffic was
trait(' i n to an alarrnin extent. In February, tte
Tartar frigate, Capt. Sir U. Collier, captured in the i
Potwar river two vessels, the Prmacisco and Maria,
Lath of them slaving ; and the 'Myrmidon sloop of war,
('apt. l# k. captured in the fialliewas river two other
vessels. Eoth the shove vessels of war itionediati ly
proceeded ee. a cruise in search of more shire-traders.
'the Thistle brig of war, which had arrived at Sierra
Leone, frost Oatuhis, with tiovernor M'Carthy and
Mite or board, had also sailed on a cruise.
Loters have been reel ived from Barcelona of the
ebth April, by a vessel aliirh has arrived direct from
thence, aid 'these s'a'e that some distuiliances had
brisker sot in thin city, during which a considerable
quantity of fercign goods had Leen destroed by the
populace, the importation of which seems to have
created nin.h ferment in that part of Spin.

Mr. (batten's state of health still remains so vrty
