pared, a complete compliance with the aims of Minis-
ters to destroy the infant struggles of political liberty
through the Continent of Europe ; but what the fur-
ther consequences have been.it is unnecessary to state ;
and what may yet be developed, it is impossible to
conjecture. To those who witnessed the processes
then employed, and deplored the effects anticipated, it
would scarcely be thought needful to recal to mind
the feelings they experienced and the sentiments they
expressed at that season of political trial. The
same kind of artifice, and the same kind of cant
are now repeated that were then in use. " Par-
liatnentary Reform and liberality in religious
sentiment," which the respectable inhabitants .81
Blackheath the other day represented as " the
pretext for the annihilation of whatever is valuable to
man," was the language at that period resorted to for
the purpose of calumniating every well meant and
well ordered exertion for restraining the strides of
corruption and oppression. At that period, if our
recollection dues net fail, there were among the steady
few who strenuously resisted and exposed snch base
manoeuvres, a person who now boasts of the important
part be took in calling this respertoble meeting at
Blackheath, and who now declares that tie freedom of
. ,
which he was formerly the assertor, must be immediately
put under restraint." " A revolutionary spirit," he
boldly affirms, "exists in this country to an alarming
degree, and rebellion and eiril war would be the in-
evitable consequence, if this fiery spirit were
allowed to proceed. The other sentiments he
avowed at this respectable meeting are equally
extraordinary and portentous. " Every government."
be held, " must be the government of opi-
nion or the government of force. If founded
I upon opinion, and upheld by the people, it would
naturally excite the rerpecn.sf, all; but if it were
necessary to have recourse to force to support a
government, it required not the spirit of a prophet
to l'orsee what would be the consequence." The
inference from this oracular sentence, it is not
necessary to point out. It would have been
better, had the Rev. Doctor sbewn, as he easily might.
how the th.vernmeut has route to lose the support
of opinion, and is now obliged to its adherents for the
suggestion of force. It would also have been useful
had the Learned Gentleman condescended to esplain
how he has been led to imbibe and deliver opinions so
utterly inconsistent with those he formerly maintained.
He certainly can shew good reasons for the extraordi-
nary change; and if he could but communicate the
same to the people at large, it would save him
from the fears he entertains respecting them
The Rev. Gentleman is widely altered since he and
the venerable Doctor Pate.env " took sweet counsel
together, sad walked to the lionNe of 000 iu cow.

to the King, on the subject of the treatment which
the Queen, his Consort, has experienced, and is ex-
periencing, on the part of his Ministers ; and of pas-

These luminous meteors have lately image their sp-
pearance sere frequently in various parts of Europe,
particularly at TKOPrAt: and in ExeLAND. The north
aspect, of CAILTioN PALACE, with the Mimic" )vst-
Lottolatirkousaous, hare been often visited to ihi
great consteruation of the inhabitants.
They were first observed in this country on the
12th of November last, making a direction from the
Horst of LONDE to CARLTON PALACE, where the
eleorlc fluid created a blue vapor that is vet
in the KINU'I amantanance.
The effect of these meteor at Brandenburgh-honse
was singularly beantiful. The QUEUN's countenance
became linvensally animated, and might be said to
ear with joy. The delightful tint cast upon a Wool)
supporter on whiffs her MAJESTY rested, was beyond
description gratifying.
On thi same day a fIoSA If light darted through the
House of Lords in the direction of a fucoritepi;rcem
hole,!frotn which a celebrated Leah Lord was act us towed
to match the proceedings against her Majesty. It was
humorously observed by Lord Eusaixe, that the pia- I
