fail to rouse the slumbering spirit of ode national
guardians. When the selfishness and perfidy of ou►
foreign allies are exposed, the utmost liberality and
delicacy are bespoke in their behalf; it is only in
our domestic relations, it would appear, that dis-
trust and se►erity are proper to be indulged. It
is not against the Ministers, but the people, we
must remark, that such harshness is allowed. When
Sir J•tixe; MACKINTOSH proposed a clause in the Alien
Bill for protecting the foreign witnesses for the
QUEEN, Lord CA6TLIREAOII Could not conceive a more
foul imputation upon the Government of • country
than that it should be suspected to exercise its powers
to obstruct the purposes of justice! This is language
that any Government may employ, and that would
defend the most despotic. What are all the ad-
mirable characteristics of the English Constitution,
but expressions of jealousy, but guards against probable
abuses. Such language is a libel against the Conti-
ttstion itself. It is the spirit of our Constitatioa, that
man cannot be trusted with the exercise of power; and
none of the fences it had raised to restrain abase eau be
ever removed, without opening an inlet to oppression
and grievance.

severity ? What Bishop could it be ? We asked those
questions when we heard the story ; but our informant,
instead of satisfying our curiosity as to perms sad
place, was content to quote his old acquaintance
Radars. ..---

Papers from Madrid, to the !9th ult., have been re-
ceived. They announce the arrest of two individuals
at Burgos, named Don Balthasar l'asqueiro and Don
Francisco Ramirez, who were journeying through the
provinces, and announcing that " Madrid was in great
commotion—that the King had been compelled to fly,
and that the inhahitants bad declared against the gar-
rison." Amongst their luggage were found packets of
cartridges, 21 sheets of office circulars, not filled up,
and a "Foreigner's °nide." It is added, that " the
house at which they stopped in Burgos, has not the
reputation of being attached to the new institutions."
An investigation respecting them is proceeding.
Tun Kvsn's CONlT.—Yesterday, at three o'clock,
his Majesty held a Court at his Palace in Pall-wall.---
His Majesty afterwards held a Privy Council. '1 he
King gave audiences to the Earl of Liverpool, Vis-
count Sidnionth, Viscount Melville, and Mr. B.
Bathurst.

We are glad to see it confirmed (as we intimated
yesterday), that another Meeting is proposed to be
called in the city of London to petition and re-
monstrate against the illegal and unconstitutional ten-
dency of the Bill of Pains and Penalties introduced
into the House of Lords. The nature and object of
this Bill are obviously of the most objectionable and
cruel kind ; but the doctrines and means by which it
is supported are still more revolting to every feeling
of justice and propriety—to every notion of right we
have been led to entertain. The conduct of Ministers
towards the Qcsex, and the arguments adduced by
the promoters of the disgraceful and degrading Bill,
are at war with the established laws of the land, and
it will be in vain that precedents will be sought for to
justify this cruel innovation upon the clear and in-
disputable safeguards of society and individual chime-
ter. Nay, though fifty instances of equally exclusive
conduct on the part of persons charged to administer
justice should be adduced—where we are persuaded no

An object of no small consideration, is a certain
quarter, is now, we hear, in agitation--4 change in the
costume of the Band of Gentlemen Pensioners. Their
appearance is designed to be wonderfully striking.
The clothes, it is said, are to be of rich crimson vel-
vet, with blue puffs, the stockings of red silk, and
the bat of a Spanish form, ornamented with a Prince's
plume. In some such garb as this, it is understood,
a certain personage was much admired, some years
ago, at a masquerade, at the Union Club Rooms, when
the taste of Mr. John Keinhle was said to hare been
consulted in the personal decorations; and it is there-
fore now determined to revive and extend the admira-
tion. It would, notwithstanding, have cost no little
'time and trouble to have decided upon the hue of the
stockings, but for the adoption of an idea, which was i
ingeniously suggested, of dressing a Oentlemen Pen-
stoner with two stockings of different colours. After
hesitating a between tbo sod and the blue, the
was defilierately preferred. The costume of the
Pages of die presence was arranged about two years
ago. Their suits, we think, are of purple velvet.l
All the distinctive dresses of the different grades in
the household, from the lowest to the highest, we be-
lieve, are now satisfactorily settled ; and in this state
they are likely to continue, till, according to traiforut
Ar6ll, they undergo an alteration.
In addition to the Counsel whose names have been
already mentioned, her Majesty will have the advice
and assistance of Dr. Luahington.
Her Majesty now goes regularly awry evening to
her Villa, at Barnes, to inspect the preparations which
are carrying on there for her reception : and the con-
course of people assembled in Portman-street, to await
her return, increases every evening. On Tuesday night
the crowd was so great, it was with mach difficulty the
carriage could be driven up to the door, and even when it
was there, several minutes elapsed before her Majesty
could alight.
The crowd, for the most part, consisted of respectably-
dressed persons, the majority, perhaps, females; and
among them many carriages and horsemen. Her Ma-
jesty was received with loud cheers from every part of
the assembly, accompanied by the most enthusiastic
gestures from those persons more immediately about her
carriage.
Alderman Wood arrived at the house during her Ma-
jesty's absence, and awaited her return, which was not
till between nine and ten o'clock.
It is understood that his Majesty intends visiting
Brighton in the course of a day or two, and remaining
there some weeks.
The review of the Light-Horse Volunteers, by his
Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, no Saturday
the 29th inst. is to be at Wormwood Strube, at eleven
o'clock.
It was by mistake that the name of Sir James Mach-
intosb is mentioned in our Report of the Debate on the
case of Sir Manasseh Lopes. Sir James took no part in
that discussion.
On the 6th instant, Andrew Alexander, A.M. Profs,-

United College of St. Andrew's, vacant by the death of
the late Professor Hill.

such barefaced outrage on decorum and established
rule will be found—though numberless examples of
arbitrary power should be cited from the ages of des-
potism to give the colour of sanction to such proceed-
ings, we shall maintain that no act of cruelty or injustice
should be allowed to justify or uphold another; and
that the universal voice of the empire should be raised
to condemn the mode of procedure about to be adopted,
and established as a precedent in our Lee

Lords involves the preservation of the established
forms of justice that bare so long been our boast, and
comprises in its example and elects the existence of
the most vital interests of the nation. If the Quitru
be believed to be guilty, where is the danger of allow-
ing her to have a fair trial? If the nation be to be
called upon to fix a brand on her MAJESTY, why are
the people not permitted to see and investigate on
what grounds the verdict of their disapprobation is to
be pronounced ? Why do not the degraders of the
Qcsam spurn at secret imputations, and every ap-
pearance of art and intrigue ? Why dare they not
show their witnesses and their testimony? Why is it
that they cannot say, " See, this is the indubitable
testimony on which we have founded our judgment ;
this is the guilt of your QCSKS ; and judge ye also
of the justice awarded to snch offences ?" Dare
they thus boldly to come forward from their Secret
Committees and arraign the conduct of her MA-
Jairry ?—No! the prosecutors and calumniators of
her MAJUTT refuse this satisfaction—they will not

even give a list of the witnesses who depose against the
illustrious object of their dislike. "It would be dan-
gerous," says Lord LIVERPOOL " to make such a pew,-
