General Macomb against Col. ]. l..
Smith. Inasmuch as there is probabili-
.ty that the whole proceedings ofthe court
will be given to the public soon after the
termination of its session, we shall not
publish any thing relative to the trial
while i, is proceeding, unless we arc spec
tally requested.
Engiand-The postponement of the
coronation, although smoothed over, has
nevertheless an ominous aspect. After
all the preparations being made, money
appropriated, and the whole kingdom
making their arrangements for that i'm
portant ceremony, the King puts off the
play without bad weather, or alleging a.
ny excuse for the dyamatis bersonae.
There is nothing in the whole transac-
tions relative to the Queen, which wears
an appearance so unfavorable for the
ministry as this procrastination. We
do not believe that she will be crowned,
but we do believe that she will carry
some OF her points, and many of her
rights. The Italian witnesses against
her have arrived in Eng!and-their very
appearance aroused the indignation Of
the mob, and they were stoned, accord
ing to the British common law. The
Queen, OH the other hand. has summon.
ed upwards Of one hundred respectable
persons from Italy, to testify to the gen.
eral correctness of her conduct. and if
her trial is proceeded in according to the
usual forms of law and testimony, they
may find 1t difficult to convict her.
There is combination OF circumstan.
ces now operating in her favor: The
friendship which the old King manifest
ed for her is Of service to her among the
most moderate of the people; those at.
tached TO the Princess Charlotte have al.
SO regard for her; add to this the
whole OF the opposition party, and two
thirds OF the women, and her force is
rather formidable in numbers, though it
may be deficient IN power. After all
said, the very discussion of the subject
amorg millions of people, the nature of
the charges against her, and degree of
testimony agitated among all ages, sexes
and conditions, are not among the least
OF the miseries of royalty. Every child
will not only know. but have the char
ges explained to their satisfaction. and
thus be early initiated in the areana of

That the Queen of England does pos

Great. Britain than are there classed a.
mong the " MOB" we think there is suf.
fcient evidence, in the records of the ad-
dresses that have been voted by the peo-
pie and presented to her through city
and other civil authorities. These vol.
untary expressions of coincidence and re.
spec,, speak, in language that cannot be
mistaken, the feelings and sentiments Of
those, who do control even ministerial
views, and can effect changes in the "a
vorite measures Of a indicative cabal
That this cabal intended to crush the
queen and despoil her of her rights, her
honor and her character, whethes guilty
Of the high crimes alledged against her
or not, we think there is incontestible
evidence in the course that has been pur-
sued towards her. And why was this
to he doneS Simply because the King,
her husband, had found in the company
Of other women, associations more con-
genial with his sensual appetites than
could be that of modest virtue. That a
