"• 1 he Prince of ()table?g lista loot -interview wish
her Majesty, at Br-ndenburgh-house, yesterilay. Th.t
Queen, no doubt, felt and acknowledged the pronsiety
of his Royal Highness's condors in preserv:wt silence
until the u hole of the charges were thoroagbiy inves-
tigated, and instantly on his conviction of the lonian,"
false aspersions by which she had been attacked, in
Making kutiwn to her that conviction. The very se-
rious illness under which her Majesty is now !shout-
ing obliged her to receive his Royal Highness in her
bed-chamber. The interview continued set an Lour.
It no doubt brought poignant recollection. to both the
Illustrious Personages ; but it must have been tooth-
ing to both, that the deep-felt conviction of her iitua-
cence brought mother and son-in-law back to the en-
dearing relations of consanguinity."
'f he Morning Poet which yesterday did not ventoto
to add a word of any kind to the rarrttive of the
Court Newsman, respecting the Prince's first visit, bc-
canse they had received nu directions on the ',object.
has this day subjoined to thestatetnent in the cirtuittr,
the following remarks, with a view to wake u light
of it as possible
We cannot briog ourselv,•l to attach the slightest
degree of consequence to this circumstance, thortgh
some of our coteusperaries will probably magnify it
I to the utmost, and connect it with the pending trial."
The Times gives the lie direct to that part of •ths
Court circular which states the visit of the Prince to
lie r 7 consequence of on inritativo ftcms her ,Ifote*ty;
and adds " we have reason to know that the nitjtet of
Prince Leopold's visit to her Majesty yesterday Nees
pnrposely to express his conviction of the futility elf
that charges exhibitdd against her Majesty, and of her
I perfect innoCence."

. • • • •••Tat SING I. MILLS.
The trodietateut. preferred by the Solicitor of ,flie
( reasitry against Mr. Mills, fora riot, in St. James's-
i.tuare, came UM to be tried on Monday. The case on the
vitt of the Crown was opened by 31r. W•LFORD, and
!t r. ARAMS, addressed the Jury, and briefly stated
that he should be able to prove that the defendant
tad, on the 31st of August, made his appearance in
front of the Queen's house, in St. James's-square,
and there conducted himself in a riotous and tuniol-
boons manner, so that the magistrates had thought it
right to order him to be taken into custody, and that
Bitty he was taken into custody, he had excited the
public to disturbance, which created a serious riot,
is which many of the constables were seriously hurt.
The learned Counsel proceeded to call Vickery, the
police-officer, who swore, that he bad been ordered by
the magistrates to station himself in St. James's-
square. previously to the 30th of August. and that on
that day he had observed Mr. Mills haranguing
the persons assembled in front of the Queen's house,)
and that Mr. gills recommended that an address
_should be presented to the King, which he rem/ to the
permios &rambled ; saying, that on the following
day he would attend and prepare the means fur sign-
ing the address ; that accordingly Mr. Mills attended
on the following day, is an open landau, and wes be-
ginning to address the assembly, when Mr. Bennet
and Mr. Alleyn, two magistrates, directed witness to
take him into custody; he then maile Isis way through
•the crowd, and carried off Mr. Mills on his bad: ;
and Mr. Mills addressed the people, saying, " Will
you let me go ;or will you let me taken away r In
consequence of which, he was attacked by four, five,
or
six hundred people, who assailed the witness and
the other I3ow•street officers with st..nes and brick-
bats.
Upos Vickery's cross-examinuion, lie persisted in
saying that Mr. Mills did aild,ess the people, and ex-
cites them to rescue him; ia consequence of which Mr.
Mills took down in !Ailing the very words which
Vickery swore lie used.
William 11'5...suet', the constable, snore, that he hail
endeavoitred to stop the carriage in which Mr. Mills
was ineffectually, and that Mr. Mills had said to him,
if he knew who he was, be would take him into cus-
tody ; upon which the Chairman inquired what was
. the name of the witness ; and, finding it was the per-
son mentioned in the iudictmeut, lie asked the witness
what Mr. Mills Jid to him ; to which the witness re-
plied, " lie did nothing to me."
The CHAIRMAN said, " From this evidence it is
clear that you obstructed Mr. Mills, iustead of that
gentlemaa obstructing you ; surely this part of the
case must he given as."
Four other Bow-street officers were then examined,
who proved nothing material.
Mr. Mills, in his defeoce,went at considerable length
into the history of the transaction, and said he stood
there to defend his principles and his conduct, and he
would fearlessly amen and maintain that he was only
exercising the right which every juryman in ronuison
with himself, and every subject of the realm possessed,
of petitioning the Throne at any and all times, when-'
ever they chose to do so. Mr. Mills then related the
. part he had taken publicly relative to the prosecution
ageism the fasters ; that he had given to Mr. Hume,
on the lath of Jaly last, a petition to he presented to
. the House of Commons ; and that be had subsequently
iren a petition to the Dui.. of Leinster to present to
the Howie of Lords, and which had been presented by
the Noble fluke. He then read the petition which
he presented to the consideration of the media% iu St.
• James's-square, as follows :
" TO THE MOST ISEI ELLIN,* MAJESTT.
" We, your Majesty's faithful subjects, feel it our
duty at length to approach your Majesty, to express ,
our deep regret and abhorrence at the unjust, illegal,
and treasonable conspiracy which has been formed
a4ainst the sacred person of our most gracious Queen
Caroline Amelia Elizabeth, your Majesty's Royal
• Consort.

" We have beheld, with feelings of indescribable in-
. slignation, the present servants of your Majesty auda-
ciously daring to employ an agent, without the con-
. , sent of Parliament, to offer to liar Majesty 50,0110/. as
en
annual revenue to be paid out of the money cheer-
. --fully contributed by ourselves, for the support of your
. Majesty's family and the legal purposes of the govera-
mutat, falsely, in the sacred name of your Majesty and
the British Government, in order to induce her Majes-
ty to renounce bar just rights to a participation of the
, of these realms, and which rights, alike ema-
nating from the ordinances of Owl and the laws of oar
country; are equally sacred with those which entitle
your Majesty to near your Crown: and farther, of in-
