TUE STATI

tur4itate a new attack on the honour of the Queen
Tb, sr -pectslations insist he founded un the hope that the
public sentiment, so loudly and universally expressed,
it at I
le he wesriesi and exhausted, and that the
Queen rself will no longer have patience to resist
such cruel and endless persecutions. But her Majesty 1
„tees it to the British nation to declare, that she has the'
:iraiest reliance on their support as long as she is the
%Oho of oppression; and to herself she deems it due
to add, that no harassing conduct on the part of the
King's Ministers will ever shake the duty she owes to
this generous people. She has also the strongest con-
viction that the King's highest interests are at the
',repent moment as snarls betrayed as those of the State,
br the evil roensellors who are now once more plotting
11.er &strut ;ion.
To the offer of money with which Lord Liverpool has
thossOlt proper to accompany his notice of the intended
prorogation of Parliament, her Majesty has no answer to
:jet hot a direct refusal. Neatly ten months have elapses!
since his late Majesty's death, and no Parliamentary pro-
sision has been yet proposed for her. As long as the
Bill was pending the Queen saw the propriety of accept-
ing the advances made for her accommodation ; hut she
will not accept as a favour from the Ministers what a due
rent, for the honour of the Crown would induce Par-
liament to grant as a right; and she is still mote averse
to impose upon the people the unnecessary burden of
fasting a palace fur her, when the national munificence
has already provided royal residences for all the Prin-
- moms selsoiltl her exatteti statism.
The Queen expressly commands me to add, that her
mai.ste, as well as the Wog and the country, have rea-
per, deeply to regret that the persons who have involved
an those parties in their present unhappy difficulties
shnitld still have influence to prevent that adjustment of
thtfetences whirls the Queen regards as essential to their
annton interests. tier Majesty has
a &mist that the King, if left to the guidance of his own
t,,,!.:.11 judgment and honorable feelings, would at once
}:,ten to the Queen's claims upon his justice, and to the
ti,,i;eri prayers of his loyal people.
I hay the honor to be, my Lord, your Lordship's
oltedicot and humble servant,

MONDAT EVENING, NOVEMBER 27.

STOCK EXCHANGE, ONE acLocx.
The Funds have experienchil a rise this morning in

ts-morrow. Consols were done as low as 69 on Satur-
day, and this morning hare been dour at 695. Great
apprehensions are entertained that the failures, already
so numerous, have net yet ceased ; and that to-morrow
will be a trying day to many speculators. We hare
just time to announce another heavy failure (being the
ninth) has been declared. The differences are said to
ann•unt to 30,000/. mud upwards.

It is strongly rumoured that a change in Adminis-
tration is finally determined upon and arranged. The
genius of Lord CASILUZAGH has triumphed OM his
asure moderate CoHearses. The Immortal Duke of
Wittaxes.fon is to hold the Sword of Power, in con-
junction with my Lord CasTt.tar Ault, who under-
takes the heavy responsibility of effertaally restrain-
ing the present disposition of the public. Lord Lt.
izaroot., Mr. CANNING, and Lord Haanownt, retire.
The Coninfittee of Gentlemen formed at the Free-
masons' Tavern, fur the purpose of arranging the pro-
ceision that will accompany her MSJLITY to St. Paul's
ua Wedoesday next, have met this morning, and recom-
mended that those Societies who intend to be in the
line of procession, form themselves in ranks on each
side the way west of Temple-bar, and to deploy wait-
tra:d as they arrive on the ground.
Sir IL Wilson's Answer to the application made for
his attenslanceat the procession :- --

my opiuieu ent the subject of the proposition you did me
the honor to make.
if you finally determine that It is expedient to form a
prectssionary cavalcade to attend her Majesty oa the
iast. I shall be ready to join my fellow Citizens
and Canstittents in that tribute .1 respect to her Mo-
les-, and in those arrangements which may tend to
•
.joresefro order and regularity, at all times most desirable,
'hut Illicit peculiarly become the solemnity of the uc-
suive.

Vg?b November, Freemasons' Tomo.

The servile Fart of the press has been labouring
Lard to induce Ministers to put a stop to the proces.
siors, with Sags. banners, and missies by wising those
toibletus, and prosecuting the parties. No doubt the
sapient geollenten, who write for these papers, belie.*
that the tarrying of daps and banners, end the playing
of mimic, are illegal practices; and no doubt need be
entertained that these friends of freedom will be
venoi ;t being told that they an all perfectly lawful.
Tbi ilk 4 clause of the late Aet tojsrevent seditious
4eetioll, 60 (i. 111. c. 6, passed is Deassaber last, is
as follows ;

11 And be it further enacted, Otat it shall s.of

FOR Tee PCUPOSE, or under the pretext of DELI-
IBBRATING upon, Of proceeding to deliberate upon any
public grievance, or upon any matter or thing, relating
to any trade, manufacture, business, or profession, or
upon any matter in church or state, or of coxstocu-
PRoPOSINO, Of Atilt/MN° to any petition, com-
plaint, remonstrance, resolut. , or address, on the
subject thereof, with any FLAG, aA7lNaa, ENetION, or
displaying or exhibiting any Dtv ler, BAIN!, or
EMILIE'S, or with any Darn, or Military or other
MEM, or in MILITANT ASNAT or minas," fitc., order
penalty of " two years imprisonment."
The Act says, no one shall go to or from, or attend
at, any meeting, to CONSIDZ.., &c. with flags, &c.
but it does not say that no man shall go with CLAUS,
&e. to present an Address, or to attend the person of
the QEECN, or for any purpose save and except only
those named in the Act. Nothing is forbidden but
what is specifically named in the Aet, and any thing
which might have bee. lawfully. dew before she
passing of the Act, and not specifically forbidden by
the Act may still be lawfully done, the same as if the
Act had not been pased. Is is a criminal Art, and
must be construed strictly.
Processions with Flags, Music, tee. are still lawful,
and the people may yet march in order, or as the Act
calls it, in military array.
The people may also assemble with Flags, ice. to
attend the QUICIN on Wednesday, and we expect to
see them in no small numbers with their Flags and
Banners, paying their dutiful re.pects to their meg-
n.tnimous Wags, whatever others way thitM,.say, or
do.

We have good reasons for stating, that, up to this
storming, nothing definitive in the way of arrange-
ment with the Dean and Chapter a St. Paul's, re-
garding her MAJCITT'S intended visit un Wednesday
next, had taken place. The Ambassador of these
Clerical IVorthies, expressed hitnaelf much alarmed at
the Negociation getting into the Public Press. We
can assure him, the Public judging by the known con-
duct of the gentlemen he represented, will nut be
surprised at anything they may do.

The Brussels papers which arrived last night con-
tain some communications from Vienna respecting con-
tinental affairs. It is not pretended that the precise
determinations of the Allied Powers. as settled in the
Congress at Troppau, are yet known. It is, however,
acksou 'edged, that Austria in conjunction with Russia

military force. The immediate co-operation of England

In this nefarious scheme Is not anticipateJ. The
English fleet in the Liulph of Naples is stationed there
for observation, and for the purpose of protecting the
Royal Family in case of need.

By the latest accounts, in a direct channel from
Spain, it appears that a miserable attempt at counter-
revolution was made at Talavera on the 31st ult. The
plan, which had some appearance of being extensive,
was luckily disconcerted and fully revealed.

Extract of a letter from Lisbon of the 13th October.
" The packet was detained in conseartence of some dif-
ferences which have arisen among the Sternberg of the
Supreme Government. These differences canard a great
sensation here, the manifesto convoking the Cortes was
issued ; but this document did sot meet the wishes of
persons comprising our present liovernment. The day
before yesterday furnished a scene 1 never witnested
before. All the troops were drawn out, and the mill-
i Ivry placed in various parts of the city the whole of the
day ; but it is certain that a discontent and want of
confidence exists. Ihe military began the Revolution,
and are determined to maintain it awhile in their way.
Hitherto every thing is quiet, and the general opinion
is, that all will go quiet; but for my part 1 apprehend
that some unhappy occurrence will still take plate, as
many of the Government party are complete adven-
turers, seeking for power."

TM Lisbon Mail brings intelligence of the Spanish
Constitution having been adopted in Portugal, subject
to each modifications at the meeting of the Cortes as
may be deemed expedient. A violent expulsion of six
Members of the Provisional Junta was attempted. by
part of the military, who failed in their object.

The Paris papers which have arrived, contain in-
telligence of a similar nature to that received by other
mails. A Nnremburg article of the 15th, mentions
a report of an insurrection having taken place at Con-
stantinople. The report has not obtained much
belie/. A resolution has been adopted by the Nea-
politan Government, to march an army beyond the
frontiers, in case of any hostile preparations on the
part of the Government of Rome.

OP THE PAAPM OP ST. JAMES.

A meeting of the inhabitants of this parish is now
being held at the Pulteney Assembly-rooms, Brewer-
street, to consider the propriety of art Address of con-
gtatnlation to her Majesty, and also of an Address to
the King. At half-past one o'clock, .1. W. Barber
Bennett:int, Esq., took the Chair, and opened the
busi-
ness of the meeting.
Their ivOrthy Representative, Mr. Hosnots► was
present, .zinl letters had been received from Messrs.
Byng and Whitbread, explanatory of their absence.
Sir Fraecis Burdett had also been written to, a 3.1
invited to Inert his Constituents upon the o:casion,
hot he had reason to believe that the letter had not
been received by the worthy Baronet, sufficiently
early to allow of an answer. Mr. Hoblionse here
oh-
observed, that he knew it was the most earnest wish
of Sir Francis Borden to meet his constituents upon
the question which had now assembled them, as early
as possible. He trusted that time would not be far dis-
tant. The worthy Barouet was now sufficiently recovered
to be able to ride, but he was not yet equal w the exer-
tion of walking.—(Loud Applause.)
Mr. B. BEAUMONT then proceeded in :Ineloquent speech
to comment upon the object for whirls they had wet.—

The Judges delivered their opinions seiiatune.
Mr. Justice BEST considered that the uuus lay with
the defendant to prove that the wenn was not roi reedy
bid. If all the detendaut supposed had actually ocrou-
red, it would not remove the malignity of the l.ilal.
The Statute of tiro. 3. made the question .4100 not a
question of fact, it was the duty of the Judge to direct
the Jury—and he would contend that his direction in the
nose alluded to was in no way incorrect or partial.

(Nir.Erans we presume.) Ile was sure it gave the Learned
Counsel more pain on reflection, than it it did him on
mentioning it. He concluded by stating that if he had
felt any doubt on the case, he should hare been very
happy to have given the defendant the b.metit of it, fur
no man was by his general conduct respectful demean-
our to theJlidge,am: he would add worthy rank in society
deserving of it, he was sorry it was not in his power.
We lived in time, when it was necessary not only for
the Judge to slim his opinion of the law, but to shew
that that opinion was well founded. He saw reason to
disturb the verdict.

Mr. Julie. HoLnovn read his opinion.—The case to
him appeared to be sudiriently proved at the trial. The
defendant had himself acknowledged the (Act. Hr
might have called Mr. Itickersteth, and proved when
and where be received it: a• he had not done so, the
Jury were warranted in finding the verdict they bad

lIIR FRANCISBVITUYTTiIIECEPTION AT

LEICESTER.

The Festival of the Friends of the ancient Laws
and Constitution of the Country, at the Bell Hotel on
Wednesday last, in celeltratio4 of the defeat of the in-
famous Bill of Pains and Penalties against her Ma-
jesty, went off with uncommon brilliance and spirit ;
although the inadequacy of the accommodations to
the umbers of those who were desirous of being
present, occasioned much personal inconvenience.
Besides the pleasure which every feeling heats must
experience at the check thus given to the relent-
less persecution of an unfoi:uuste and illustrious
woman ;----iu addition to the gratification which
every friend of Liberty must enjoy in beholding
this triumph of public opinion in s, ite of all the
efforts made to stifle its expression, and to para.
lys.: its effects, the interest of the flay was increased to
this highest degree by the presence of an illustrious in-
dividual whose pure benetolence of character coin.
mantis the admiration even of his political enemies;
while his unparalleled exertions for the restoration of
the constitutional Liberties of his country. have secnred
him a place in its annals, more glorious than even his
extraordinary eloquence, or the rich and varied stores
of his powerful mind, could have procured—we mean
Sir Francis Burdett. It is not the place here to enter
into an eulogium on met its acknowledged by those who
are most competent to appreciate them, but we must
apologise to our readers fur our inability to convey any
thing like a just idea of the two speeches which he de.
livered on this occasion, and of which the first alone
occupied three quarters of an hour.
An expectation being entertained or affected by the
Magistrates, that an illumination would take Oa .e at
Leicester in the evening, they extensively circulate,' a
handbill fur the purpose of announcing that they had
provided an adequate force fur the occasion, and were
fully determined to preserve the peace of the town, and
to punish, with the utmost severity, all is Ito should dare
to attack the persons or property of those who may
think proper not to illuminate.
A great number of special constables were sworn in,
and the Leicester troop of Yeomanry Cavalry was or-
dered to be in readiness at a moment's warning 'flue
non-commissioned officers of the Leicester Militia were

also on duty at the Magazine. and train the gene-
ral precautions, it might have been supposed that
the town was about ts, undergo a siege, the stew-
ards, however, had Dever intended to illuminate, nor
would a single house in the place have been lit i
op, bad it not bceu for the handbill yet after
all this pole ol war, the evening, however, passed over
without the slightest etnfasion. Twenty or thirty houses
in different parts of the town were illuminated, and se-
veral transparencies were exhibited with appropriate
mottos. Notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the
weather, the Thomaston band also paraded the streets
till a late hour with torches; accompanied by several
persons with an eiegaat 11.4.
Other dinner, to commensurate the same event have
taken place iu the town.
The King v. li'ila.nos Fletcher, alias Frerallya alias

true Bill of Indictment against this person, for high
Treason, upon the 38th of the late King, for publish-
lag troasonablo band-bills, lac. for a considerable time

.NEKTASTLE PUDIC MEETLY°.

la a former piper we have given a sketch of the
proceedinrs of a meeting at Nesicantle-on-Tynes con.
veiled by the Queen's Plate Committee, to adarrss het
.11.iiesty on the recent exposure of the nefarious plans of
her persectitors.-1t being conceived that this meeting
was not extensive enough (though nenseronsly ;trended)
folly to express the sense of the whole inhabitants, a
requisition, signed hv 53 principal inhabitants of New-
castle, was preser,e3 to the Mayor, uho appointed a
meeting so he held on Wednesday the rid instant, at
linildliall.—The meeting was nnsvcrous and highly res-
' pectahle, the large ball at one time being full. The
was prevented taking the chair from intlisposi-
' tint), anti 1110111kS Pettuick, Esq. was called to the
chair.

Alderman Sonetc proposed the first Resolntion, in a
long and ;stile iperch, in whith he was io idly cheered
thronglinut, especially that part in whir!, be declared,
that ag the hirlirst law authority ha) declared that it
only r..qa;red 11.111111011 sense to Itiire a ver.i.ct upon this
question, he had no hesitation in giving his verdict of
\ut Belts, its help me God. This resol rtiun
was secon.led by Joseph Lamb, Esq. The remaining
Resolutions were proposed by Doetat Resilient. in
iery energetic speech, and seconded by William Arm-
strung, marl.
JOHN HOWER Witicsrr, Esq then rose and addremed
the meeting, stating, that lie bad lately travelled through
the countries which had been t sed by her Alajesty ;
that in Italy, where the Milan Cosansisqian arai r•Ja-
Mislird, the most infamous reports were circulated
against the Queen. and whirls he firmly believe,) owed
their origin to Leach, Cooke. Pond!, and Rasttlii.
I This was confirmed from the circumstance of his not
hearing any thing against her Majesty during his travels
iu Palestine, which could only be accounted fur by the
influence of this infamous Commission not extending so
far, and from the circumstance of the pliant I Wino be-
ing more easy to bribe than the stubborn Inrk. Ha
also stated, that he had resided a month at the inn at
Trieste, at which Pietro Puchi was waiter, and from
what he saw of him he had no hesitation in pronimucial;
• him an abandoned old miscreant.

It would hr impossible to describe the effect prodneed
upon the meeting by the eloquent speech of this gentle-
man, of which we have attempted to give a vary faint
outline. The hail rung with pasta of applause.
As the chairman rose to dissolve the meetings loud
cries of Mr. Lush resounded from all parts of the ball,
who then rose and addressed the meeting in a very pots-
caul speech, of which we hive not time even to give au
outline; hot which fully justified the opinion which
the inhabitants of Newcastle have always entertained
of his abilities and honest sail in a good cans..

Postmen Nosts.—The police of Birmingbado has
succeeded in detecting and taking the principals con-
nected with a numerous gang of titterers of forged
bank-notes. In consequence of the apprehension* is
London, of John Bingley, a publican of Great Charles-
street, and Ileorge Peacock, a plater, of Cbeapside, iss
that town, upon whom were found 1160 &red notes,
a warrant was issued to search the house of Williams
Dutton, of Coiemore-street, where a number of notes,
ready de•trured by fire, were found by the pellet:-
officer. ; thi. man was taken into custody, and in con-
sequence of something that transpired while the
officers were waiting his return home, Mr. Adkins and
assistants proceeded to the house of William Batkin, a
copper-plate printer, residing In Pnreman-street,
with Ms wife, tile? lannediatay mit all4up.a
searching his house a plate was found for working tea
and tire, and two plates for workinT, one pound notes.
as well as a large quantity of notes in various ages
of forwardness.—lt is 'opposed this gang and its con-
nexions hare carried oa shelf nefarions trade eases-
lively fur the last four or Are years; the notes are said
to have been ail worked by Datkin, the signatures af-
• fixed by Dutton, and the whole disposed of by filmier
anti Peacock to common titterers. The two former are
now in Birmingham prison, bet they hare set yet
• undergone a publ;c examination.
RIJOICINOS tN Tna COUNTAY.•••••Tbf Joy so
geaa-
rally testified throughout the country on the wad's-
lion of the proceedings against the Queen, had scarcely
subsided in many places, when a fresh subject for re-
joicing was announced to them. We allude to the
distribution of the 20,0001. Prise, shared by Bum oa
' IVednesday last; parts of which being sold at Lamm-
ter, Cirencester, Warrington, Wolerrhansphaa, Row-
borough, Torrington, and other towns, the bells at
those places rung merrily. And as Two wore 119,110116.
Prizes, and many other capitals, mast be draw, To-
, morrow, we hope they may be so disposed of as is
cause further employment to the ringers.
