ToIe Editors of Ike ". I. Con- Ter & Enquirer:
You will perceive from the papers OF the day
before Yesterday, that a jury has been found 6olu
enough to bring true bill against O'Connell.-
This, ii is supposed, will probably cause some con,
fusion and even bloodshed, and the King IS SAID
to be very uneasy about it. In consequence OF
the royal fears. the Duke of Wellington. it is re-
ported. was given to understand, that his presence
at Brjohton would be acceptable; the Duke OF
course, complied with the Kings intimatlon.-
The views of the King ON the present state of Eng
land. it is further rumored, have, ever since the
Dukes STAY at Brighton, undergone material
change 1t is affirmed that the Queen, who has
much influence is entirely in favor OF the Dukes
return to the Premiership, he being thought oy
her. the only person. firm enough to make head
aralrist the dIsunionsts in Ireland and Iei0rmers
of England. it is further affirmed. that the King
is. since the insurrectiOn in Gottnsen, ol the
same opinion, thinking that, by adopting the jor-
liter III re Ell suaUiter in mode, he may preserve
things as they are and that England is best oil as
she is. Unless, therefore, new storm breaks out
in Europe. by the thunder Of which the dull Pc
ucranium of John Bull be somewhat more Affect

nv reform. which has had some chance since the
DAVIS of uly Is very Iikel to be again laid on the
shelf, as happened under Pitt and Fox. The
Queen who is German Princess. takes consld-
cradle pains to persuade William ~ not to 90 all
lengths with the present Ministers.of whom ord
Athorp is rather obnoxious to her majesty. Such
is the fashionable table talk. it however gives
pretty much the sentiments by which the highest
personages in the kingdom are animated.
The ornaments. ordered some time ago at
Portsmouth, are said to be discontinued until
further orders; for how long is uncertain. l can
assure YOU on very good authority. that the friend.
ly understanding between the two ministers OF
England and France. has somewhat suffered, in
consequence of discoveries made by the former,
with respect to intentions of France as to Belgl.
GUM, in spite of the declarations OF Sebastian
to the contrary. 1t is even said that the prepare
tons at Portsmouth were intended as demon
straton against France, in case she should attempt
to re-annex Belgium to her territory.
