iopinion, that all particular details respect

should be maintained till the subject came

Brougham's view OF the subject was loud

Fifty thousand pounds were finally voted
Tor her support.
The Princess, or Queen, or whatever
she is 10 be called, is very eccentric
woman, and has doubtless at times behaved
indiscreetly. The opposition have ior

England voluntarily, aud previous TO her
departure, we have never seen any testi-
mony 10 warrant belief in her incon-
stancy. Since she has been travelling up
on the continent, various rnmours relative
to her conduct have been afloat; and We
believe Mr.. Brougham, formerly among
| her most jealous partizans, has taken con-
siderable paiHs TO investigate the matter
aud it is whispered that his views 10 re-
gard to her have been somewhat changed.
From our latest advices, it would seem
that she is about TO return TO England. III
this be true, aud she should actually re-
turn, we should believe il strong evil
dence of her innocence; for If guilty OF
the crime alleged, she would most certain
ly be arraigned and tried for high treason;
and such is the act of Parliament upon the
subject, (statute of Edward HI. as il
regards the Queen and Princess Royal,
that neither the King, COZ the Ministry.
could shield her, ii the fact were known,
even were they disposed 10 do SO. OF this
fact the Queen cannot be ignorant; and
she will doubtless govern herself accord
ingly. But if there should be evidence
Of her guilt, aud she Should nevertheless
insist upon returning, to avoid unpleasant
consequences, we have no doubt the min
istry viii take as effecsua! measures as
possible to prevent, or divert her from her
purpose.
The Queen has doubtless many friends
and par,izans in England and many who
would defend her under any circumstances,
barely from motives Of opposition TO the
King and Ministry. On Friday the 18th
of February, the Manchester Theatre was
re-opened, aud the performance was pre-
coded by the singing, 10 full chorus, of the
national air of 6 God save the King
Soon after this, some very well dressed
persons in the upper tier Of boxes. who
wished to be equally loyal to the Queen,
threw immense numbers OF the following
pIacard into every part OF the house
God save our noble Queen!
Till she's in Britain seen,
God save the Queen
Let her tread British ground,
She'll hear from all around,
Throughout the air resound---
God save the Queen %
But when they, with others, attempted
! to sing it, the cries Of $ God save the
Queen Caroline for ever!" from the one
side, aud their suppression by the other,
caused confusion understandable, which
subsidized with the abandonment of the at
tempt.
There appears to have been some con.
cert in this transaction; for Oh the evening
of the l7lh similar incident took place
lat the opening Of Drury Lane Theatre.
The placard thrown into the pit, however.
was by 90 means as poetical as the one at
Manchester. 1t is as follows:
.God save Queen Caroline!
May the great power divine
| BIessour good Queenl
| Confound her enemies,
Make her fame pure to rise,
Ha'd by nations cries,
God save the Queen''
This was evidently done to create a tn.
mutt; butthe attempt was fiuitless.
