are an attempt to violate through her the genuine
principles of British jurispruiletti e. In rallying

The feeling with which the people enter into the
interests of the tZureN, is now drily expressini: itself
more and 'nore in the Addresses they are prep irinv7
to present to her 111ii£4rr. In the remoter parts of
the country, as in the environs of London, they have
been more slow than in the heart of the metropolis to
evince their sentiments by thee: di•plrys: but thanzb

I than those whose examples they have follawe.l. In
the distant parishes, unvisited by public characters, the
inhabitants appear no strangers either to the animation
of puhlic spirit, or to the power uf giving that spirit
its proper expression. We have been much grrtitied
in recording former instinces of th o‘e displays: and
have equal pleasure in rrferri”g to an account in our
paper to-d-ty of a reveat .le::iut• of the Parishioners
of St. John, Ilorseleydown. .1 he speeches of Mr.
&Acta and others are manly, plain, and spirited.

Her Majesty the Queen will receive the Address of
the inhAbivatits of the Parish of St. Pancras. in the

City of Chichester, on Tuesday next. It is ealrnlated
that there are not more than •lay :dolt male inhabi-
tants in this Parish, upwards of -210 of whom have
signed the Address. An united .‘ddress from several
other Parishes in that city is rapidly receiving sig-
natures.

The King's friends, as they call themselves, are striv-
ing to treat his Majesty, during his marine excnrsions.
with addresses from the several ports at which be touches
in the Isle of Wight, and on the coast of Hampshire.
Besides the Addresses from Cowes, and Portsmouth. he
has received one from Hyde, and was to have ethers
yesterday from Gosport and Portsea. His 31ajesty was
expected to go on shore at Portsmouth yesterday, to
review the first regiment of Guards, and to set of fur
ton n in the afternoon.
The following is an extract of a letter, dated Gibral-
tar. Sept. 7:-
By advice to-day from Tangi►r, it appears that an Al-
gerine squadron. con,isting of tuo corvettes and a
schooner, passed these Straits to the Westward. on the
4th instant. A corvette of t'.4 guns stood into Tangier,
but immediately rejoined the ctliers, and made sail.
Yesterday was herd at Winclister. a numerous and
respectable meeting of the inhabitants, for the purpose
of considering an address to the Queen, to express their
concern on account of the persecution with which her
Majesty has been pursued, and their admiration at the
magnanimity which her Majesty bas ►xhibited and
also to testify their indignation at the form of the pro-
ceeding against her Majesty, by a Bill of Pains and Pe-
nalties, an attempt to violate through the person of her
Majesty, the genuine principles of British Jurispro.
dace. _

As some contradiction has prevailed in the state-
ments received from Portugal, regarding Count Ama-
rante, we think it proper to state, that a private letter,
dated Oporto, 13th inst. mentions that the troop' and
province he commanded bad enthusiastically joined
the patriotic cause, hat be himself bad fled away. On
the 6th, seeing it impossible to withstand the force of
public opinion, the Count ordered a meeting of the in-
habitants for the following day, in order to take the
new oaths ; but in the night he fled away with oat
servant, passed through Monis, and, it is added. he had
already arrived at Cseenna.

THE AUTHOR OF THE SCOTCH NOVELS.

-~-

[Front Ow., end NOUTIIIIOCSI.4 London Maga:bit
tur October.]

In the Metnoirsof Sir Walter Scott, Bart., contained
in our 9th number, we stated that we were in posses-
sion of facts which justified us in asserting, that the
admirable Works of Imagination, under this title, wet...
not from the pen of that distinguished u titer. We
then said :--

`• lit hazarding this bold assertion, we know and feel
the responsibility we have rolniitarily incurred. We
know likewise, that in stating it in th;s unqualified 'wan-
ner, we shall not be justified by any arouturnt deduced
from any fancied internal prod in the works themselves,
or from any opinion we iii 3) have been induced to form
Fr mere circumstantial etidence Not Oio ee huh'

himself, ought to have any enthience 11114,11 our 11111141 S;

I acknowledge his productions, or according to our great
moralist and philosopher (1)r. Johnson), to withhold am
absolute negative n hen he deems it necestary to use
I one.

" The fact is. that these works were written by.a neat
relative of Sir Walter Scott; they were severally sent to
I by that relative, in an unfinished state, for revision.
corteetion, and methodiring. Nea•lv the whole of the
poetry is his own (.4:twin...Wm as well .11 many of the
descriptions. Through his agener thr arrangement for
disposing of the copyri2lit and time time and wanner of
publication, was made: and notwithstanding the con-
tinued mystery in nhich the whole affair is enveloped,
it is firmly believed by the parties uith whom he has
been obliged to be immediately conneete.!, that they are
suirly time productions ..f his twit pen.

'f he officer to whom we altuileil, had then recently
ionised a matrituuuial connexion will' the family of a
tigui.leed Nobleman, and had left town a short
time previous to the publication of the number we
have referred to ; hence, we have been unable to pro-
cure his permission to use hi 4 name, a• the authority
on which we have made the statement.
However, from the interest nhich hat been excited
n consequence of our remarks, although we iannut
at

~._

The leather ha', tor the last fortnight, continued
variable, with occasional storms of wind and rain ; and
the showers of hail that base fallen within that time in
the neighlwriteliorml of bon .lots, have indicated the pre-
tence of elertrieity in the iaphere. :14 itlrer thunder
nor lightnine, however. have been experienced near the
reettopnlis, though distant parts of the coon ry have
lii•eil visited by them, and by other phenomena a the
electrical kind. At Dumfries, on Sunday last, there hap-
pened an extremely violent thunder 'torus, accompanied
with a kind of water-spont. Two of the peals of thun-
der here tremendow ly loud, and appeared to burst from

no
audible clap succeeded, the lightnings played around in
the most vivid brightness, and to a pereoti enterin-:
l)umfrirs from the south-pato, ef:hihiteil a very grant
and trunsnal spectacle. Behind. the ninon and cones
shone in the most unclooiled splendour, while in front
nothing was seen hut a cloud of more than ordinary
density, which at isit••rcals emitted dashes of so is
.1a sling brightness, as almost to deprive the travelli r
of the powers of vision. For shoot ten minute' tie•
rain literally ilevenileil in torrents. and although weer-
rompanied by wind, broke, in one instance, the whale.
bone and springs of a very stout inoberlla. At Readlno,
on the morning of the 3fst. from about four o'clock till
six, an extraordin iry Meteor was seen. It appeared
at first like a !minted star, rather larger than a emu% -I
piece, and continued so for an hour and a half, seerniog•
stationary over Fortuity-bill, when it shot to the eolith-
ward, after which it gradnally passed to the nor:low:tr.%
diminishing in size till it waft wen no more. About hall
an hour before this phenomenon, at nearly lialf-past
three, three very brilliant Meteor% were seen together
exactly over theForbury. producing a great light.
