Paul.] " Give HONOR unto the Wife aa unto the weaker vessel." [ St. Peter.] ' At} . we are writing on the ere of a National Spectacle, and Ceremonial, which has not been observed among us daring tbe two last generations of our race— and which Ceremonial is now to be observed under circumstances ( taken altogether) unprecedented in our history as a people— TO take this— the last opportunity which we shall have as public writers, antecedent to the event— to. enter our protests, as Journalists and as Englishmen, agiti!> st the. act of inflicting, an unjustifiable degradation on the First Subject of tlie Realm, in the person of a Femiile and a Queen. All the ordinations of society araontg ns, civil;, religious and political, are shaken, in this pttblic contempt of a national usage of seven hundred years— a sanction that- is greater than that of Late— which is often made to- day and repealed tomorrow. It hip. ttie- authority of twenty- eight genera. tioKs oi tbe . English people. If this do not constitute a right, we have no rights: the K I N G and the Government are despotic arbiters over our most sacred actions. • Matrimony is the principal feature in the structure of bur society— every thing else has, directly or indirectly, reference to i t : vet what henceforward will be obligator*- and stable in its ordinations, when the first personage of the State can with impunity be advised to treat it so irreverently? If the Q U E E N cannot be crowned, a WIFE has no rights: for it appears that a married woman <# ily claims that which the Law compels her husband to grant. Now the Law presumes that there is some honor in man : and it knows that it is necessarily power- Jess over tlie affections: the observetnees and usages of the world are therefore, in such case, the practical Late of society. It is usual to adeerthe husbands'who run awuf from their wives, and leave them chargeable to the parish : to take them on warrants, lodge them in prison, aiid treat the act in every respect as a misdemeanor in ( 3oiiimou Law. The capacity and means- of the husband are always looked to, as the authority on which to allot tire principle of allowance to a wife: and his property BMW lie' amcrced accordingly. But tlie KIN » and the Ot"- r. » i> x being both on the aggregate parish of the State, the allowance to the former— although" there be a sepal- ate one for the latter— comprehends the domicile of the w; ifc— and in a case of separation, the right to amerce the grants to the KING, were implied by a parity of reasoning. If tl « activity of Law were not contemplated in such remarkable positions, it is to be accounted fur Solely by the higher'incentives to honor: and what is honor but the spirit and philosophy of. Law ? ' J'he Coronation of a Sovereign '{ which is a mere form pf honor) is— either tlie act of himself,, or of the people; « r the joint act of both. The- former would imply a per ( Vet absurdity: as an art therefore in which the people have at . least a share, it were only rendered honorary by the voluntary cordiality with which it was performed. For the K I N G to say to the- people, " you shall not honor my wife," were to affect a power which none may command. He might continue, " you shall honor roc, and me. alone:"— the act conferring no additional power or privilege on either. VP kit wou'd this amount to in common life, but an act of odious despotism, which were impracticable : and which, if practicable, none would tolerate. Ministers are advising that conduct in the Sovereign, which will degrade hint as a man in our times, and consign this portion of his reign to the ridicule and contempt df posterity. There are two subjects which will form the leadiug and principal features in the Reign of his present MAJESTY : viz., his eonduet towards Bonajtarte, as his foe; and his conduct towards his IVife, as a friend. But still — though treating this conduct as the act of the Minister of tl> e day— which it constitutionally is, yet UBfortunately, the K I N O ' S character nmst necessarily arisa . out of the events of his Reign: and two darker clouds on otir History will not be fousd— than the persevering, cruel, malignant and unmanly policy adopted towards the two persons in question. Future ages will say that GHOUGH IV. was as unhappy in his luce, as in his hate : unhappy as a Sovereign, unhappy as a Man. What right had England with the punishment of BONAPARTE ? has been a thousand times asked, and never answered. Aud has noj the QUEEN as much right to be crowned as the KING, according to all the practice and principles of the Constitution? ' J'he chicanery that harps on the technical verbiage of " our will and pleasure," used in the proclamation, would stay the course of justice at every step; for if men be never called upon to do that which is right, until it is their " will and pleasure? so to do— all Law would be useless. BONAPARTE was so much greater a man than any of his cotemporaries, that ( hey were only considered safe, while he was garrisoned on a Rock: and it was England, in a Queen- pFOScribing reign, who volunteered to be the Gaoler of a man who had committed no offence of which she had any right to take cognizance: in fact BONAPARTE, aad Queen CAROLINE, had a certain resemblance in their fates, in reference to the power from which they suffered : they both put faith in the honor and generosity of the same personages, in the ex|> ectation that they partook of the chivalrous spirit of a brave people : and how they were repaid, is become a matter for History to commemorate. There never was a fairer claim of right on the one part, and honor on the other, by which a magnanimous Prince might have displayed the great and noble qualities of a princely mind— than in the plea which was made by a calumniated QUEEN : and in the confidence which was invoked by a great Chieftain— no longer a foe.. It were better indeed, almost without reference to my question of right, to cede aught to a woman, rather than take the stain of a contention with one— Where victory is humiliation ; and defeat is a donble odium.— In tlie same manner all insult— unnecessary rigor— sly and petty hostility— to the defenceless, are tbe shame of in; tnhood: and hence the persecutors and calumniators of the QUEEN ; and the oppressors of BONAPARTE — being the same persons— stand in the double- damned predicament of an outrage on the national gallantry- and tlie national bravery. But the deepest wound on the nation in. the. affairs of the QUEEN, is the contcmpt of the ordinations of the ALTAR.* The purity of society reposes on this sacred basis; without it, we arc but. as one of the communities of the Ferest, or the Desert wild: and when a King condescends to ect, the example ef making inroads upon the joint laws of God and Man— where the passions and the appetites of men arc so prompt to avail themselves of even the meanest precedents— the effects of a deteriorated public mind are but the prelude of a declining empire. We would hope, however, that there is enough of public virtue to preserve a better feeling in the country than that which appears at present- to prevail at Court. A few days,- and the affair will be over; the invidious ceremony will b « consigned to the national Records; cotemporaneous with the slow and inch- dying captivity which brought the great NAPOLEON to an un- • And yet we do not see one of the Clergy ( whose express duty it is) make the least endeavour to lay this part of the subject before the 1U. NO. There is also another class- of persons, commonly called The* Saint*. Something . in-. the way of- rousing the Royal rjfind to a consideration of the eftecte the treatment of. the QUEEN is likely to have on the morale of the ration, might, one would suppose, be expected from thepj— bat they are equally s$ eat, timely grave, and lost to'the age the greatest name of modern History— a Hero, who has not been equalled during the last fifteen hundred years. After the termination of the present week— tlic K I NS crowned— the QUEEN degraded as far as her brutal enemies could degrade her by unmanly persecution— the CYRUS ef the age entombed in a fourteen { cct graven treble enc- offined— enchambered in the earth with an immense stone upon his breast, and his- g- rave filled up with massive and cramped masonry— more inaccessible than the corpse of the Old - Woman of Berkeley herself, — as though, like the body of HECTOR, there was still danger in the mighty dead,— after all this, Legitimacy, and Ultra- Royalty, and Regal Revelry, may hold the radiant holiday of single or double life,— nntroubled by the spectres of foreign mcnace or domestic broil. ANSWER TO THE QUEEN'S MEMORIAL, AND HER MAJESTY'S REPLY. At the Court at Carlton- house, tbe 10th July, 1821; Present— THE KING'S rnbstercellent Majesty in Council. Whereas there was this day read at the Board a Report from a Committee of the Lords of his Majesty's Most IJor norablc Privy Council, in the words following, vbc:— . " Your Majesty having been pleased, by y » ur order in council of the Sd of this instant, to refer unto this committee the several memorials of her Majesty the Queen claiming k right to be crowned on the same day and tbe same pj^ ci which - ha9-( havt)- been appointed for the coronation of your Majesty, and praying to be heard by counsel in support of the said claim; the - Lords of the Committee, in obedience to your Majesty's said order of reference, have accordingly heard her Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor- Gcneral in SBJ*. port of Ker Majesty's'said claim, and having- also heard the observations of your Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor. General " thereupon, their Lordships do agree humbly to repc.-^ to yoar Majesty Iheir opinions, that as it appears to them that the Queens- consort of this realm are not entitled cf right to be crowned at any time, her Majesty the Queen is cot i. ntitled as of right to be crowned at the time specified ih. hcr Majesty's memorials.

" Sly LORD,— Your Lordship's letter of yesterday to Lord Hood,- conveyed- to me- the report ofthe Committee of Council, on my Memorial: to the Xing in Council, claiming my right to be crowned ; and as I find the Committee pc- sitively denies the right which I have claimed, and which all • Queens- eonsort have enjoyed ( without one exception arising from the will of the Sovereign), I consider it necessary ' to inform your Lordship, that it is my intention to be present at the ceremony on the 19th, the day fixed for his Majesty's coronation, inid I therefore demand that a suitable place" may bfr appointed- for me, ( Sigtfed) " •'•' CAROLINE R.

The 4th Light Dragoons,- the 9th Lancers; " and the 10th Hussars, have received orders to be in Lbndon by the 16th instant, in order to attend the Coronation.— So that, including the Life Guards, tlie Oxford Blues, and the Scots Greys, we are to have seven regiments of cavalry in town upon this occasion. How are these troops to be disposed of? ' Lord Lindonderry said that military pomp wasuniformly- a part of the cerefnony of a Coronation;. but alongside the platform, through which the procession of the Coronation is to move, nay, in the- vicinity of Westminster- abbey and Westminstcrhitll, there really will not be room for one- third of the cavalry which we have mentioned. Are the remainder then to be scattered through London, to patrol the streets, in order to promote the glow of popular ' enthusiasm which this expensive pqgeaat is calculated to promote, especially in the absence of th « Qu. eea? - Whatau infatuation'.—^ Mowing Chronicle.

HOUSE OF EORDS, MONDAY, JULY 3. 1 At 1 1 o'clock this day, the LC- RD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack ; and immediately after prayers, the Karl of LIVERPOOL communicated to the House, that his Majesty had been pleased to confer the dignity of a Viscoant and Earl of tha United Kingdom of England and Ireland upon John Baron Eldon, Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. The LORD CHANCELLOR, - on this notification being made, retired from the House, carrying with him the purse ; and after having robed, he again entered by the side door, below the bar, where he was received by the Lord Great Chamberlain, dressed in his robes, with a ' white wand in his hand ; by the Earl of Liverpool and Earl of Shaftesbury, also in their robes; Sir G. Nayler, attired in his tabard, w ith his staff of office ; and Sir- T. Tvrwhitt, in a Court dress, with his rod. On entering the body of the House, which he did under the introduction'ot the Earl of Liverpool and Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir George Nayler delivered to him his patent, nrith which he proceeded to his Majesty's throne, on the Btc^ s of which he kneit, and then iaid his patent on the chair. Having suffered ii to remain there a few seconds, he again took it up, and returning to the body of the House, delivered it to Mr. Cowper. the clerk, by whom j t was read. At the conclusion, the Noble Earl took the usual oaths, and then ( accompanied in the same order as before) grossed the House, and, advancing to the bar. proceeded to the lower end of the Earl's beach, • where being seated with the E: irb Liverpool and Shaftesbury on each Side, he put on his hat. Their Lordships jttif n rose, and went to the upper end ef the Earl's bench, where the. y were again seated for a few moments, the I » rd Chancellor thus taking his seat as a senior Earl. This ceremony being gone through, his Lordship received the congratulations of his friends, and resumed his seat on the woolsack. The House then adjourned for a few minutes, to afford an opportunity to Ids Lordship to unrobe. The ceremony en this occasion was similar to that pursned on the elevation of Lord Chancellor Hard wick, in 175- 1, to' the same dignity. ' . Lord Erskine and several other Peers were present. The Judges having returned answers to questions put to them OD tiie ease of " The King v. Wolfe," the judgment of the court below was affirmed. The Agricultural Horse Tax Repeal Bill was read a third time and passed.— Adjourned. Tim.' tloy, July 10. ACT OF GRACE. I A petition was presented from several persons in the King's Bench prison, praying for an Act of Grace on the ensuing Coronation. The Royal Assent was then given to several bills.— Adjourned. Wednesday, July 11. Soon after three o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Dqke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of IIARROWBY, and the Earl of WESTMORLAND, took their seats in front of the Throne as Commissioners; and the Commons being summoned, the. SPEAKER., accompanied by a considerable number of Members, attended at the bar. The commission for passing certain bills therein named was then read, when the Royal assent. was given to the Dnke of Clarence's Annuity Bill, the Appropriation Bill, the Lottery Bill, and another Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR than delivered the following Speech " My Lords and Gentlemen, " We have it io command from his ? » 3< ijesty to inform you, that the state of public business having enabled him to dispense with your attendance in Parliament, he bas determined to put an end to this Session. " His Majesty, however, cannot close it without expressing his satisfacticm at the zeal and assiduity with which you have prosecuted the laborious and important inquiries in which you have been engaged. " He has observed, with particular pleasure, the facility with which the restoration cf a metallic currency has been effected by the authority given to the Bank of England to commence it- « payments in cash at an earlier period than had been determined, by tlic last Parliament. " His Majesty has commanded, us to acquaint you, that he ecBtinues « o receive from Foreign Powers the strongest aseuraoees cf their friendly disposition towards this country. Gentlemen of the House of fJommans, " We are eommanded by his Majesty to return you his t'trariks for the provision wjjiib you have made for the public servile. " Although the public expenditure has already undergone tCEfiderahlfc r^ dtiCtioB within the- presept year, l is Mijfcsty tr'j> U'he'shall be enabled, by the ocntinuaooe of peace arid cl intern..] tranquillity, to make such further reductions as • may satisfy the josk expectations expressed by Parliament. ** His Majesty has commanded us to assure you of the • gratification which be has derived from the provision which yon Save nlddc for his Royal Highness the- Duke cfClarence. " My Lords ar. d ( ienttexmn, " It is with Lhe greatest satisfaction that his Majesty has observed the quiet and good order which continue to prevail in those parts of the country which were not long since in a r- fate of tgitaticii. " Mis Man- sty deeply, fair, eels the distress to which the agricuhurJ interests in niauj parts of die kingdt- m ate Mill Stthjoet. " ft will be hi.- Majesty* meM aSlieUs desire , by a stritt attention to puhhe economy, to do all that depends upon him for the relief of the country, from its present difficulties; bat you cannot fail to be sensible thai the success of all efforts for this purpose wiH mainly depend upon the continuance of domestic tranquillity; and his Majesty confidently relies on your. utmost exertions, in your several counties, in enforcing obedience to the laws, and in promoting harmony and concord amongst all descriptions of his Majesty's subjects." Then a Commission for proroguing Parliament was read: after which the LORD CHANCELLOR said— " My Lords and Gentlemen, " By virtue of his Majesty's Commission under the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, and now read, we do, in his Majesty's name, and in obedience to his commands, prorogue this Parliament to Thursday, the SOthday of September next, to be then here holden; and thi3 Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Thursday, the 20th of September next." HGCSE OF COMMONS, Tuesday, July 10. Mr. B. BATHHRSTpresented a petition from the Debtors in the King's Bench Prison, praying that some notice might be taken of their situation at the Coronation. M s . H. H U N T. Mr. HOBKOUSE, after alluding in eloquent and feeling terms to the severity of the imprisonment of this gentleman, and forcibly remarking tbat it was the opinion of many that his punishment was infinitely more levelled against the man than against his critiie, said it was well known that there was a number of individuals confined in several prisons of the kingdom for political offences, and he thought that his Majesty's Ministers might, on the occasion of the approaching grand ceremony, without any derogation from the dignity of the Crown, advise his Majesty to mitigate the punishment of those individuals. ( Hear, hear.)— The case of Air. Hunt, he thought, was peculiarly deserving the notice of Ministers, more especially after they had recommended to the - Crown to release . Sir Manasseh Isopez, who had been guilty of a far more heinous offence. S C O T C H J U D G E S. Mr. HUME rose to present a petition from a Mr. W . Jamieson, complaining of the eohdact of the Lord President of the Cxjurt of Sessions ( Ho]> e.) In the course of his speech, the Hon. Gentleman remarked, that of late a practice seemed to have grown up of Judges going out of their way to speak on subjects which were not at all connectcd with the discharge of their judicial functions. It would seem as if every man, who had got a trig on his head and a cloak on his hack, considered himself as entitled to go out of his way to give lectures t. o all who might come before hiin. The conduct of some Judges in this respect was calculated to render them a ditgrme to their profession. While upon this subject, he could not. avoid noticing the conduct of Mr. Silvester ( the Recorder), who on a recent occasion took the opportunity, before he passed the awful sentence of death on several unfortunate individuals^ to go out of his way in order to give them a panegyric on a society calling itself the Constitutional Association. ( Hear, hear.) Such conduct was wholly uncalled- for, and highly reprehensible. S O C I E T Y F O R T H F , S U P P R E S S I O N O F VICE. I) r. LVSHINOVON rose to present a petition which respected the proceedings fit' the Society for the Suppression of Vice. The petition was from a William Clerk, and it stated one fact to which he ( Dr. Lushington) b- gged to call the particular attention of the llmise, as it shewed the manner in which such societies are too frequently conducted, lie ( the petitioner) stated, that some of the indictments were preferred against him, upon the information of an old man whom he knew to be acting as an informer to the Society; that this old man came to his shop on one occasion, and mentioning the work of Colonel Titus, " Killing- no Mwrder," said that it might be made a good thing of. That tlie petitioner said it might have answered the purpose for which it was written during the tyranny of Cromwell, but that its principles were bad. To this the old man replied, that it was a good book if jt could lie made applicable to Castlereagh aud the rest of that gang. [ A laugh.'] This fact, continued the learned Gentleman, was sufficient to prove— what indeed might be expected to result from the employment of spies— that sueh agents too frequently instigated the crime which it was their business to detect. He was always against their ' employment for any purpose, and particularly in such cases as that before the HOtiSe'. [ Hear, h< ar.~\ Mr. WILBF. RFORCE defended the Vice Society; and said he utterly disbelieved that the society employed informers ; and he repeated what he had said on a former occasion, tbat liny person who should, have gone beyond his commission so far as to become an wiformer. would at least not be employed again by the society. He had he? n one of the first, who had condemned the employment of spies; he always had- condemned tiie. emp'oyment of them, and still did condemn it. If the Hon. Gentleman ( Dr. Lushington) were sekc:< d for the purpose of presenting this petition", he should wot think si) favorably oi" him as he did. [ A laughi] Mr. Wilberforce then entered into a defence of the character of Mr. Charles Murray, who, iu his opinion, wen a " very honorable man," and wholly influenced in becoming the Attorney to the ( Mock) Constitutional Society by tne purest motives. Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that he did not conceive that his character ought to be aspersed because he had felt rt his duty to present a petition entrusted to his care. [ Hear, fitar.] Hewotild- noi retract one word that he Had sr. id respecting societies like that for the Suppression cf V* t. . They were su © * « liable to abuse, and he finale fcelitied that they had . tilbeen most grossly ajriisc'. They employed persons who for their own interests became spies, then informers, and at last instigators. Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that it had not been hUi jntcntion serieusly to have said any thing against the Hen. Gentleman: he might have spoken with some degree of levity at the moment. [ Cries of Order,'' and ' spoke.!] He thought this had been a new question. The SPEAKER explained, that the question still was, " thilt the petition lie on the table." Dr. LUSIIINGTON moved that it be printed. Mr. WILBERFORCE repeated the observation he had made as fo his not having seriously meant any thing that could reflect on the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, and contended that there was no other mode nf prosecuting than by ascertaining tlie existence of the offence by purchasing the offensive work. Dr. LUSHINCTON said that lie did not conceive that, in presenting a petition to that House, he should be called upon to defend his own conduct or his character. His character, lie trusted, neither deserved nor requited it. [ Hear, bear.] It might, perhaps, be necessary to buy a work in order to ascertain the fact as to the offence, but the person employed ought not to be paid for his work. [ Hear, hear.] The payment caused the perjury and the instigation. He shoukl not, he hoped. Be ever again obliged to speak in self- defence whin presenting a regular petition. The petition was ordered to be printed. T H E L A T E E M P E R O R N A P O L E O N. Mr. BEN NBT said, that he observed that the signature of tiie French surgeon in attendance on Napoleon was not to the Report of the medical perstons which had been published in The London Gazette, as to tbe cause of tlte death of that illustrious Person. He wished to khow whether tlie Noble Lord coukl state the reason ef that remarkable omission ? The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that he did not know whethw the French surgeon's name was to the Report or. not. Mr. BENNET repeated that it was not. The Marquis of IXINDONDERRY said, that he tould not account for the cause of the omission. . T H E Q U E E N AND T H E C O R O N A T I O N. Mr. HUME gave notice of an Address he intended fo move the next day relative to her Majesty. He conceived it to be mr> s- t important that the country should understand, before the prorogation of Parliament, how her Ma jesty was to be placed at the ensuing Coronation, and that every precaution should be taken that was calculated to prevent the peace of tiie er. pital from being- dur turbed upon that occasion. From the peculiar nature of the court to which her Majesty's claim of right to appear in the coronation as part and portion thereof had been submitted, he was convinced that— The SPEAKER called Mr. Hume to order. B « thought that the Honorable Member must be aware that i » was not consistent with the usual practice, for Honorable Gentlemen, on giving a notice of motion, to enter into the grounds upon w hich they founded it. Whilst the Speaker was yet speaking, Sir F. OMMAHEY rose and moved that the House be courted. The motion, however, fell lo the grtmjd from want of a scetmtier. Mr. HUME maintained that he whs correct as to the point of order, as he was simply addressing the House on the question of adjournment- From the nature of the court to which her Majesty's claims had been submitted, he. could not draw any favorable augury as to their decision, though lie was convincexi that her lawyers had made out as clear a right for her Voroimtiem at existed at pre, scat for the King's, ' faking for granted then, that the decision of that court would be against the existence of the chtim, the point which, he wished to ascertain was this— whether his Majesty's Ministers intended to persevere in their system of insulting, persecuting, and oppressing the Queen upon all occasions, or whether tltcv intended to assign her a plate, as they were in duty bound to < k>, among the other mouibers of U^ Royal family at the ensuing coronation. That her Majesty would attend in persoa at that ceremonial, he entertained nnt the slightest doubt; from what he knew of Iter spirit and resolution, ls « was convinced that sh* woukl be present at it, if not as a part of it, at least to prevent the rights of future Queens- Consort from being compromised and degraded in her person. It was upon that account that he new gave notice, that lie should to- morrow submit to the House a motion for an humble address to his Majesty, relative to providing accommodations for the Queen at the ensuing coronation. Hb. B I ' T T I R WORTH trustied that her Majesty wouhl not be so ill- advised as to pursue the plan which the Honorable Gentleman had chalked out for her. She had idreadv had ill- advisers enough about her; and he trusted, that for the sake of the tittle credit and popularity which she still had left her, she wouki not interfere in the manner which the Honorable Gentleman had represented. Mr. Alderman WOOD said he sbonkl not have risen to say a word to the House, if it had not been for the very extraordinary expression which bad escaped from the Hon. Gentleman— he supposed unadvisedly— as to the little credit and popularity which her Ma jest v retrained. He was surprised that the Honorable Member hud dart d to make such an assertion, when he most have known that nifiety- nice uut of every hundred ef his own constituents were strongly biassed in favor of her Majesty. So far from her Majesty's popularity th ing upon the wane, he could assure the Honorable Member that it had even increased since the conclusion of tlie infamous investigation which had been made- into he.' conduct, and that the same symptoms of it as had been formerly shewn by the people, would again be ex~ 1 i'lited, if the same system of persecution sftoukl be. adopted toward* her. It* r Majesty, he was sure, would not be dictated to by any pcrscn as to the coin':.' c which* t i t . ot'tfU t. i- iigM not to pursue; but T H E N E WS. 2 1 9 would take that course which seMiwl best to her own judgment. He had, however, no hesitation in saying that it was the decided intention of the Queen to attend the coronation, no twi/ h J landing any thing that had occurred, or that might occur, " before a particular tribunal. The subject then dropped, and the House adjourned Wednesday, July 11. The interest excited by the motion of which Mr. Hume gave notice yesterday, respecting the presence bf her Majesty at the Coronation, was manifested to- day by the number of persons who attended in all the passages leading to t| ie lobby and gallery. It was expected that the Hi/ use would meet at one, and ev en before that hour several persons had come down with a view of getting admission. The House, however, did not meet till a few minutes before three o'clock. The gallery was opened at three ( immediately after prayers), and the • ipeaker, baring counted the House, took the chair.— 1 here were then abont 80 Members in the House, of whom the greater number appeared on the Ministerial aide. Mr. HUME then rose, and said it was not without deep regret, though certainly without surprise, that he bad hettrd of the decision of the Privy Council respecting her Majesty's claim to be crowned. That claim, he tiiought, had been clearly established by her Majesty's Counsel; but it appeared that the Privy Council were of a different opinion, and they so decided. The Hon Member then read the following extract from the report Of the Privy Council:—" Their Lordships do agree, humbly to report to your Majesty their opinions,- that as it appears to them that the Queens- Consort of this Tealm y e nut entitled of right to be crowned at any time, bet- Majesty the Queen is not entitled as of right to be crowned at the time specified in her Majesty's memorials." He did not mean te impugn this decision, but his own opinion was, that her Majesty's claim had been fully substantiated, and that she had as good a right to be crowned as the King. It was from this conviction that he was induced to move an Address, that his Majesty might be graciously pleased to extend to her Majfesty the Queen, a participation in the Coronation.— The Hon. Member concluded by moving— That an humble Address be presented to his Majefty, praying that he wiil be graciously pleused to issue his Royal Proclamation for the Coronation of Iter Majesty; thereby consulting the true dignity of the Crown, the tranquility of the metropolis, and the general expectations of the people." The Hon. Member had but just commenced the read ing of thus resolution, when the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod was heard knocking at the door ; and as he was concluding it, he was called to order by the Speaker, who reminded him of the presence of that officer. Mr. Hume immediately took his scat, and the Deputy tfalier informed the House, that his Majesty's Commissioners for giving the Royal Assent to several Bills, and also for the prorogation of this Parliament, attended in the House of Peers, whither the presence of the Speaker was required. The SPEAKER, accompanied by most of the Members present, immediately repaired to the House of Peers. On his return, the Hon. Gentleman stood at the table, and having stated that he had heard the speech of his Majesty delivered by the Commissioners, he read a copy of i t ; after which the Members separated. DEMISE OF THE DUBLIN H I B E R N I A N JOTRNAL.- Tn consequence of the return lately made to Parliament, Ju'reeably to Mr. Bennet's motion, of tlw amount of stamp duties paid by the Dublin newspapers, the circulation of the above journal appeared so extremely low, that Government was ashamed to advertise in it any longer. The proprietors of that paper were therefore obliged to discontinue it, and on Wednesday last The Hibernian Journal yielded up the ghost. As this priut was the orgau of the Orange faction in Ireland, its demise, we think, may be taken as an indication of the speedy extinction of those illiberal sentiments which " have done Ireland so much injury, and kept the empire so long agitated and disunited. The Dublin Herald states that Government has settled a pension of 3001. per annum on one of the proprietors of the late journal, which, with the TOOL a year enjoyed by the other, makes the compensation to these gentlemen, for their political services, 1,0001. per annum out of the packets of the people.— Traveller. Extract of a letter from Sussex, 6th . July, 1821:— " You want a few lines about Hops and Farming, but I have uot a word to say but lamentations; the men of Sussex and Kent, are laid on their backs sprawling. It was only the ether day they were betting hundreds on the fate of their hops, buying and selling amongst thqjpsefves,. and then it was found the article was scarce indeed. But now reverse the picture— neither buyer nor seller, and there appears enough to last for many years ! A good crop will produce the last groans of the poor hop- growers. I suppose there will be about half the quantity of last year ; and the appearance of the wheat is poor and thin, the ears small, for want of what the hops have robbed the land of. You will hardly meet with a farmer with a shilling in his pocket, therefore he cannot pay the labourer. The overwhelming thing is t a x a t i o n— it is a curse equal to a poor barren soil, smit by the storms and the tempests." LONDON GAZETTE.— Saturday, July 7.

Captain Crokat, of the 20th regiment, arrived this day from St. Helena, with a despatch addressed to the Earl Batlmrst, by Lieutenant- General Sir Hudson Lowe, K. C. B. of which the following is a copy :— My Lord, St. Helena, May 6. It falls to my duty to inform your Lordship, that Napoleon Bonaparte expired at about ten minutes before six o'clock in tbe evening of the 5th instant, after an illness which had confined him to his apartments since the 17th of March last. He was attended during ths early part of his indisposition, from the 17th to the 31st of March, by his own Medical Assistant, Professor Antommarchi, alone.—• Durinj- the latter period, from the I. st of April to the 5th of May, he received the. daily visits of Dr. Arnott, of liis Majesty's 20th regiment, generally in conjunction with Professor Antommarchi. Dr. Shortt, physician to the forces, and Dr. Mitchell, principal medical officer of the Royal Navy on the station, whose services, as well as thosa of any other medical persons on the island, had been offered, frere called upon in consultation by Professor Antommarcbi, on the 3d of May ; but they had not any opportunity afforded to them of seeing the patient. Dr. Arnott was with him at the moment of his decease, and saw him expire-. Captain Crokat, Orderly Officer in attendance,, and Doctors Shortt and Mitchell, saw the body immediately afterwards. Dr. Arnott remained with the body during the night. Early this morning, at about 7 o'clock, I proceeded to the apartment where the body lay, accompanied by Rear- Admiral Lambert, Naval Commander in Chief on this station; ths Marquess de Montchenti, Commissioner of his Majesty the King of France, charged with the same duty also on the part of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria ; Brigadier- General Coffin, second in command of the troops; Thomas H. Brooke and Thomas Greentree, Esqrs., Members of Council in the Government of this island; and Captains Brown, Hendry, and Marryat, of the Royal Navy. After viewing the person of Napoleon Bonaparte, which lay with the face uncovered, we retired. An opportunity was afterwards afforded, with the concurrence of the parsons who had composed the family of Napoleon Bonaparte, to as many officers as were desirotu, naval and military, to the Honourable the East India Company's Officers and civil servants, and to various other individuals resident here, to enter the room in which the body lay, and to view it. At two o'clock this day the body was opened, in tho iresence of the followingmedical gentlemen : Dr. Shortt, VI. D., Dr. Mitchell, M. D., Dr. Arnott, M. D., Dr. Burton, M. D., of his Majesty's 66th regiment, and Matthew Livingstone, Esq., surgeou in the East India Company's service. Professor Antommarchi assisted at the dissection.— General Bertrand aud Count Month( 4cm were present. After a careful examination of the several internal parts of the body, the whole of the medical gentlemen present concurred in a report on their appearance.— This report is enclosed.* I ' shall cause the body to lx> interred with the honors due to a Genera! Officer of the highest rartk. I have intrusted this despatch to Captain Crokat, cf his Majesty's. 20th. regiment, who was. the orderly officer in attendance upon the person of Napoleon Bonaparte at the time of his decease. He embarks on board his Majesty's sloop Heron, which Rear- Admiral Lambert has detached frtm the squadron under his command, with the intelligence. - I hive, £ tc. & c. & c » H !/) W- E, ' Lieut.- Gen. To the Rt. Hon. the Earl Bithurst, K. G. Sc. & c. * We inserted this report in onr last number.. On this document some comments have appeared in the Morning Chronicle, written by M. O'Meara, who, it will J> e rocoliecterf, was Najwleon's' medical attendant at St. Helena for a considerable time. We extract the following from Mr. CMeara's letter :— It is very important first to observe, that this Export it not signed by professor Atltommarchi,, although the Governor asserts that the whole of the medical gentlemen concurred in a Report on their appearance-; and nextty I assert, without dread of contradiction, that no man ever saw an instance of cancer of the stomach proceeding through all its stagey, from its commencement to death, in seven weeks and one day. Cancer of tbe stomach is a tedious, lingering disease, kaeping the patient in torture for months; but here we have the stomach to nearly^ its whole extent, a man cf cancerous disease in seven weeks.' .' / * * * * * * * * * * * * * * " With respect to the assertion of hereditary cancer, promulgated through a fabricated letter by those who had tiie Gazette Report in their possession, it is too contemptible to be- seriously refuted. No respe'.- table ancjent author ever mentioned, no modern practitioner ever met such a disease— it is a desperate experiment practiced upon public credulity, too gross to impose upon the most uninformed, but naturally enough to be hazarded by those who are willing to impute the death of the victim lo any other cause rather than, the true one. It fs only surprising that they have not. followed it up by a calculation of how many years may elapse before the stomach of young Napoleon is to enter upon i* a paternal inheritance. The story is too ridiculous for argurmttt, and those who have fabricated it might jusl/ as well assert tile existence of hereditary drunkenness, or hareditary murder, or any other moral depravity which may h'^ pen to be uppermost in their memories."

FRESH OUTRAGES ON HER MAJESTY. We have this week to record an insult passed on the QUEEN, by the Ministers of the " first Gentleman in Europe," never we are convinced surpassed in cowardly meanness in any age or any country. In our last number we mentioned the claim of her MAJESTY, as of right, to be crowned. The result of this claim we discuss in another part of tbe paper. Not conceiving that the answer of the Privy Council in any shape impugned her right to be present at tbe Coronation, her MAJESTY, on Wednesday, sent Lord SIDMOUTH the note we publish in our first page. Now comes the petty, mean, insult on a defenceless woman. Not content with refusing the QUEEN a privilege which the lowest person in the realm has as clear a right to enjoy as the highest, the refusal must be couched in terms, and conveyed in a manner whieh would be considered degrading by the most ignorant and worthless class in society. On Friday a paper, WITHOUT* SIGNATURE OR ADDRESS, was left at BrSndeuburgh- honse, and in this unsigned, unaddressed document, the Ministers of " the first and most polished Gentleman in Europe" convey to the QUEEN- CONSORT of ENGLAND their determination that she shall not even be present as a spectator at the ceremonial of her husband's Coronation,-— much less participate in its splendor. The following is the language of this ill- bred epistle. Who it comes from is only surmised, for the writer seems to have grace enough left to be ashamed of the ungentlemanly office consigned to him:— " Whitehall, July 13, 1821. " MADAM,— I have laid before the KINO your MAJESTY'S letter to me of the 11th of this month, in which it is stated that your MAJESTY considers it necessary to inform me that it is your MAJESTY'S intention to be present at the ceremony of the 19th, the, day fixed for his MAJESTY'S coronation; and you therefore demand that a suitable place may be appointed for your MAJESTY; and I am commanded by the KING to refer your MAJESTY to the Earl of LIVERPOOL'S letter to your MAJESTY of the 7th of May last, and to acquaint your MAJESTY that it is not his MAJESTY'S pleasure to comply with the application contained in your MAJESTY'S letter." The letter of Lord LIVERPOOL, referred to in this abrupt and uncourteous communication, we now publish, for the first time :— " Lord LIVERPOOL has received the KING'S commands, in consequence of the last communication of the QUEEN to Lord LIVERPOOL of the 5th instant, to inform the QUEEN, that his MAJESTY having determined that the QUEEN shall form no part of the ceremonial of his coronation, it is therefore his royal pleasure that the QUEEN shall not attend the said ceremony. '• Fife- house, 7th May, 1821." The QUEEN'S reply to the anonymous epistle was prompt and decisive :— " BrandenJmrgh- house. July 13, five o'clock P. M. " MY LORD,— I have this instant received a letter dated Whitehall, July 13, without any signature; I, therefore, consider it as anonymous, and shall treat it as such tiff I hear from your Lordship. " CAROLINE R. " The Right Hon. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTH." The most prominent point in this Correspondence, ( saving the want of signature and address to the Letter, supposed to have come from the Home Secretary) is the language the K I N G is made to use towards his wife: " It is my Royal pleasure that you shall not attend " at my Curimation:"— Good God 1 are we in Barbary — in Constantinople— in Algiers— in Tunis, or Morocco— that we hear of such words being used from a gentleman of high rank, to a lady, his cousin and his wife— and used to forbid her a common privilege, liable to be enjoved by every subject of the Crown! Besides, though it may be in the power of the P E Y of ALGIERS to violate a general law of the land for his pleasure, it is ' not in the power of the K I N G of ENGLAND SO to do. The K iHG may say, " 1 do'not wish you to come, for in point of fact I cannot bear the reproach of your eye"— but lie has no power to command on such an occasion; and he who acts on such command will violate the law, and must take the conseqnences. The KING'S Coronation is a public ceremony, to which all arc invited, and at which, if her MAJESTY be not allowed to be present as a Queen, she certainly may as a private person. We however are enabled to add, that tbe QUEEN is resolved to try this question ou Thursday next, in her own person. Her mind, we have reason to know, is fully made up on the subject, and nothing, not even tbe bayonets of the military, will prevent lier being present at a ceremony, professed to be open to all — but her. The warfare now carrying on between Iter MAJESTY and her HuSbandYMinisters, is in truth worthy of the latter. To insult and trample Oil a Lady, merely because she has the misfortune to be hated by the being who, before his Maker, solemnly swore to love, honor, and cherish her, is no more than what might have been expected from men, with whom the love of place appears to surmount every other feeling.* If, however, the degradation arising from this unmanly contest were confined to them, and did not extend fo their Royal Master, we should deem it little'worthy of remark ; but in what a light have they contrived to exhibit him to all Europe at this interesting epoch ! What- must the Nobletnen, sent by foreign states to do konor to the ceremony, think of us as a nation, and of the KING and his Ministers as GENTLEMEN, when they see the latter, at a time like tbe present, arming themselves with the whole strength of the country, for the purpose of perpetrating an act of injustice and cruelty against a woman, and that woman, a Queen! What must they think of our civilization as a people, or our politeness question which makes Princes fret and Ministers tresn bin.— Aye, there's the rub. We hardly know whether she might not be graciously allowed to be. present if she would keep out of sight, and in some distant corner remain a quiet looker- on of the splendid scene. But if she should step forth— if she should, just in the interesting moment, when the golden circlet first environs tbe ROVKI brow, advance with a slow majestic step along the aisle, and present one paper to the Archbishop, and another t © Majesty itself!— We say, if the QUEEN should think it right so to act, for the purpose of- recording in her own person, and in the nanie of" succeeding" Queens, her , shr lerrm protest against the late decision of the Privv Council; where is the impropriety or the illegality of such a line of conduct? Aye, but say her enemie*, " she would impede the august ceremony, and throw all into confusion."— What! will the silent approach of an unprotected, defenceless, calumniated woman, impede a ceremony protected by twenty thousand armed men? Is lier eye so piercing, that a Monarch, surrounded by all his Nobles, is not able to withstand . its glance, without fainting, though with the crown on his head? If. they believe it is, Ministers act wisely in counselling tiie KING as they have done ; but at the same time they should recollect, in what a character they hold him forth to Europe— as aSovereign trembling and fearing to meet the frown of his wife!!! • - • The following is the lyetched defence which The Courier has been ordered to put forth, in explanation of the insult offered to her MAJESTY, in sending her A letter unsigned and unaddressed :— " It may be worth while to state, in consequence of th ® malignant insinuations of the papers upon the subject, that the circumstance of Lord SKDMOCTH'S letter being without a signature teas purely accidental. The letter was taken off his Lordship's table, and folded up, under the idea that it was signed, as usual. Immediately upon its being returned by theQuEE. v, his lordship's signature was affixed, and the letter again forwarded to her MAJESTY." This ia certainly one way, but a very bungling one, of getting over the affair. But we would ask where his Lordship's Secretary was at the time, that he did not give him a jog on the elbow to remind him that it is usual to sign and address a letter before sent to any one, much more to a Queen. We will, however, take it for granted that his Lordship thought the matter too confidential to employ a Secretary— but then, where were his Lordship's ideas at the moment?— were they so much abroad as to allow him unconsciously to fall into so gross an error? To us it appears incredible, and until we see Lord SIDMOUTH'S name to the fact, we" must be permitted to doubt the Courier's explanation. That his Lordship's wits might at the instant have been in a rambling state, we do not deny : for report speaks in awful terms of an interview of a most formidable nature which the whole Cabinet underwent on the day previous to that in which the letter in question was sent to the QUEEN. The answer of the Privy Council to the QUEEN'S claim of right to the honors of a Coronation ( for winch see our first page) can surprise . no one. It was, from the first, the peculiar misfortune of her MAJESTY that she was compelled to bring this claim before a tribunal", more than one member of which had, directly cr indirectly, committed himself fo a decision, before, he had heard the arguments pro and con. Such men- must naturally be supposed to have gone into Court, nat so much with a view of hearing the case, as of giving judgment on it. Their decision, therefore, carries with it none of the force of conviction, but simply that authority which is derived from an exertion of power on the part of a strong but unjust defendant, over a weak and injured plaintiff. The QUEEN, however, with that spirit which has ever distinguished her, and which has brought her through all her difficulties *, is determined tamely to give up nothing which of right belongs to her rank and station. Power may be exerted to wound her, and laws may b « strained to injure her, and urbanity as men, when they see the Nobles of the j ,". lt. nothing will force her quietly to acquicsce in a System land so degradingly employed ! We shall close this subject, by letting our readers a little into the secret of what w e have- reason to thirk the principal and insurmountable objection to the QUEEN being present at the KING'S Coronation— even as a spectator. Will she be present only a* a spectator ? is the of injustice. , * The Ministerial Papers are continually talking about the QUKEN being surrounded with ill- advisers. She was iiiadvised when- she came over to England— and she was iHadvised when she refused 50,000). per annum to stay abroad with a caiuniuiated character, and without the tide or rank of Queen. Where would she now have been, hud she Mused to listen to ult ibis ( ll- advice? * The Times, of yesterday, says,—"' We have reason to know, that Ministers themselves felt the propriety « jf complying with the QUEEN'S demand for a place at the Corona- j tionj that the majority, if not all of them, had detei mined to j grant the accommodation demanded: and 3' et they afterwards j sacrificed their sense of what was ri* ht to the fear of losing l on thi Journals. Parliament it seems has been prorogued in the same manner it was last year, that is, Black Rod entered the House of Commons just time enough to prevent the recording of a motion ' in favor of the Qur. tsx, The Royal Speech is couched niunk their places. Some hints, it is said, were given wl ich in- jn t j u g u a j , ^ duced them to change a resolution of obvious proprii ty and ol'conciliating tendency."' ' ?,' 0 out o f i l . e e at tiepivssat tooiocnt, that wi are There is, howeie*, one sentence ia amazed that any man could have had the front to write it, much more to advise that it be uttered in the K I N G ' S name. We allude to that part of the Speech where His MAJESTY is made to say, " that it is his most anxious " desire, by a strict attention to public economy, to do " all that depends upon him for the relief of the Country " from its present difficulties." What a mockery is such an expression of sentiment, in the face of all the expennive gewgaws in Westminster Hail and Westminster- Abbey! From the circumstance of no mention being made in The Gazette of last night, of any intention to defer the Coronation to a more distant day, we may now presume it will ( barring sudden illness) certainly take place on Thuisday next. As a public ceremonial, it will be the most unpopular which - has ever occurred in this country. For this unpopularity several reasons maybe assigned, besides the insulting conduct observed towards THE Q U E E N . The KING is without those advantages arising from novelty and glowing expectation which ' most monarchs possess on their accession to the throne. He is not only an elderly man, but he may be called an elderly King. The last ten years have in a manner shewn, what the next ten years will produce, if his MAJESTY should live so long. The people on this account, have nothing to look forward to of a different nature from that which they have of late years experienced. Hope of other or better times therefore finds no place at his present MAJESTY'S Coronation. The more than commonly lavish expenditure attendant on ihe ensuing ceremonial, contrasted with the poverty and misery so general throughout the Country, forms another cause of its' extreme unpopularity. Reflecting persons who see so many thousands of pounds wrung, in the shape of taxes, from a distressed, hard working population, expended on tinsel and gewgaws— the mere playthings of an hour, cannot but lament that the KING'S Ministars should have committed the reputation and character of their Royal Master on the result of so needless and nonsensical a pageant. But the most extravagant actions meet with applauders in the Courts of Princes; aud such we believe to be the servility of the present day, that we agrectfitli a respectable Evening Paper in thinking, that if the K I N G were resolved to be crowned with r. red night- cap, and to dance in a Harlequin's dress from Westminster- Hall to Westminster- Abbey, courtiers might be found mean enough to praise the scheme to the skies, and seriously to maintain that it was calculated to Call forth both'affection and esteem for the Royal Performer. The Ministerial papers are not allowed to say one word on- the King's illness on Thursday las't. f t is reported that the Duke of Norfolk has offered his place in the Abbey, which is next to that of the Royal Family, for the accommodation of her Majesty and suite. So resolved is the Queen to attend the ceremony on Thursday next, that we learn she is provided against iinv opposition from tiie Soldiery. ' Iliey may present their bayonets to forbid her- entrance to the Abbey, but their endeavours will be unavailing. The examination of everv lady wito enters, will be curious. Lord and Lady Hood, and Lady Anne Hamilton, are to attend her Majesty. A hoax was yesterday endeavoured to be played off fm the Queen's friends, by some person causing it to be published that a meeting was to take place at the Horns, Kenniugton, to petition the King to allow the Queen to be crowned. We hardly know, but more than a hoax \ va* intended, as we have heard that a ci devant gardener of Lord Liverpool's was the person who called the meeting, and simultaneously sent information of it to Uuionhall. The Queen receives an address from the Sawyers of the metropolis at Brandenburg House to- morrow. The procession is expected to be the most numerous which lias attended this year. We understand that the apprehension of a row on the day of the one- eyed Coronation, has already had a great effect on the sale of the tickets to view the procession. Certainly, if any firing was to take place from the soldiery, or any alarm of fire in tiny of the booths, the tenants of them, particularly the female part, would be ia a most pitiable predicament. Prom the arrangements making at head- quarters to preserve the peace on Thursday next, it^ is very clear - that the constables and the soldiery will have all the fun to themselves. There will be little or no room for any cue else, out of the booths. The Courier of last night has the following information :—" We understand it is determined to have a splendid exhibition of fire- works in the Green Park,, on the evening of the Coronation. Sir W Congreve has rwived instructions to make the necessary preparations. This is iis it should be. We hope, too, that the idea may not be abandoned, for we know it has been entertained, of opening all the Theatres, gratis,, that night. The public ought to have the means of participating, in every possible way, in the joyous celebration of such a great national- KTcmony."— John Bu/ l may on some occasions be a flat, but he is not such a flat as to be caught iu « cob a flimsy trap as is Ime set for him.. THE NEWS. The King, we are informed, was in bed the whole of Thursday, with the exception of one hour: his Majesty's indisposition was a flying attack of the gout.—( Times.) His Majesty it seems is to go bv ' Sea to Ireland. All the preparations therefore made by the Ultras in the different towns of fulsome addresses, and more fulsome pageants, may be thrown behind the fire. Confusion and embarrassment are evident in the terms of Lord Sidmouth's unsigned letter to the Queen. We never read a public document more slovenly drawn up.— It consists of only eleven lines, and the word " Majesty" occurs in it ten times. We understand that a Committee is forming for the purpose of arranging the Procession which will attend the Queen to Westminster, on the day of the Coronation. From the universal burst of indignation excited by the conduct of her husband's servants, there is 110 doubt, but the numbers will far exceed that of the memorable Procession of her Majesty to St. Paul's. Nothing can exceed the awkward, painful situation into which Ministers have contrived to plunge their Royal Master, by insultingly refusing the Queen the privilege of witnessing- the Coronation of her Husband. Conceive a great King, surrounded by, iiis Nobles, i; i the very act of inauguration, his eye wandering at such a moment in trembling apprehensiveness lest it should alight on his deserted wife— the mother of his departed daughter! There may be no truth in this portrait in point of fact, but such is the figure which Ministers have dressed up to the imagination, and are about to exhibit to a grinning public. " If the Queen persists in her intention of being present at the Coronation," says The Courier, " it may lead to consequences which every one would deplore."— That is, if the Queen will not submit to an arbitrary exclusion from a ceremony at which she has, in common with every British subject, a right to be present, she is to become the victim of unjustifiable violence. They who sanction the injustice are responsible for the con- equenccs, and not they against whom it is directed. If tumult and bloodshed should ensue, as has been predicted by The Courier, the guilt of it will attach to those who meditate the violation of her Majesty's rights, and not to her Majesty. A person may be informed, that if he go by a certain road he will be way- laid by a highwayman; but if he notwithstanding go by that road, and is attacked, the warning does not diminish thegUilt of the highwayman. It does not alter the case that Ministers will have an assembled army at their command; for if the act is unjust, the possession of any degree of power will not make it otherwise. The important matter of the costume which the attendants 011 the Peers are to wear in Westminster- hall on Thursday next, is at length, after many sleepless nights, finally settled—- and the following was on Friday issued from the Herald's Office:—• " These are to give notice to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, that the attendant to wait on each Lord during the banquet in Westminster- hall, on the- day of his Majesty's Coronation, must be habited in a, scarlet single- breasted frock- coat, edged with narrow gold lace add gilt buttons, with a garter- blue silk sash round the waist, white. kerseymere waistcoat and breeches, and white silk stockings, with black shoes and scarlet rosettes." What figures of fun these lacquies will be! COHBETT S NOTION OP A CORONATION.—- The King ( God bless him !) is, it seerns, to be crowned next Thursday. Some people are saying, that he might do very well without it. No ; hang i t ; I don't think so ; for a King without a Crown and Robes, is like a Peacock without top- knot and tail.—( Cobbett's Register.) Notwithstanding the immense assemblage of military in and about the Metropolis on the day of the Coronation, we cannot hplp thinking that Ministers will do well to abstain from any thing calculated to hurt the feelings of her Majesty, and thereby to irritate the people.— They must not imagine that the feeling which pervaded the people, from one end of the country to the other, when they saw the Queen about to become the victim of meditate:! injustice, is yet extinguished, because John Bull, and libels of a similar description, have been abundantly circulated and eagerly read in the upper ranks. The upper ranks alone, they should remember, do not constitute the nation. The great body of the people would feel as acutely as ever, any injustice towards her Majesty, whatever Mr. Joseph Butterworth, or any other compliant Saint may think or say. And with all deference to The Courier and his patrons, we really do not see either the justice or the policy of insulting the great body of the people. The Courier talks of " mechanics, petty shopkeepers, and laborsrs," & c., and of the persons who " ( ill the Bit and Galleries' at Theatres ; as if the opinions. and feelings of those classes were not deserving of the least protection or regard. Extract of a Letter from Manchester, July 11, 182!. —" Gold Sovereigns have almost entirely disappeared lately. The Bankers here and at Liverpool are about issuing £ l Notes. One- pound Provincial Notes havenot hitherto been issued in Lancashire." An article from Chamberry, in the French papers, gives some interesting particulars from Piedmont. It was rumoured the King of Sardinia would not come to Piedmont, and that a part of the Kingdom was to pass under the direct dominion of Austria. This rumour gave so much offence to the Regiment of Savoy, that a plot was formed among the soldiers to disband themselves, and return to their homes with their arms and baggage. The plot was defeated, and about sixty men were arrested, and confined in the citadel. The . public discontent, however, was rather increased, particularly by the absolute dominion exercised bv tbe Austrian?, even in Alexandria, the bulwark of Piedmont— the keys of which were delivered to King Charles Felix in mere mockery. About twenty capital executions were about to take place in pursuance ot sentences pronottacsd by the counter revolutionary trihotial,. .. - it " i f — V - — - ' r ' - - . y - H t t a v . - - - .

By the Paris Papers of Tuesday last, we learn the fate of the Bill to continue the Censorship of the Pre?-! in France. The law is only to continue to have effect till ihe end of three months after the opening of the Session of 1821. The division was 211 to 112.' We fully expect to be able very soon to announce tbe commencement of hostilities between Russia and the Turks. The Courier last night says—" The Ottoman Government seems likely to embroil itself with Russift, whose hostility, at the present moment, might assume a shaps'peculiarly embarrassing, not only to the Porte, but " to other European Powers. Indeed, if Russia should, in any way, just now lie drawn into a struggle with Turkey, we can readily comprehend the possibility of its leading to results very different from what mieSt have attended such an occurrence under different circumstances."— The English of the above i?, that it' Russia interferes in the contest between the Greeks find the Turks, ice mast enter into the battle on the side of tiie latter. What! is the Holy Alliance and all Lord Londonderry's Snuff- boxes come to this!! By the way of Odessa, we have received advice-? from Constantinople, to the 8th June. Baron Strogonojf, the Russian Ambassador, has shut himself up in his house at Buyuhdere, with the determination of havir. Sf no further communication with the Turkish Govcrrluent, until he receives answers to the despatches he- has sent to the Emperor at St. Petersburgh. '{' lie Baroc's com plaints are founded on the stoppage of Russian corn' vessels at Constantinople, and ( he absolutely refusing to' two Russian ships the usual firmans to sail out of the- Dardanelles. Tims, the Baron savs, to the violation of Art. 30 aritl 31 of the Treaty of Commerce, is added the violation of Art. 32 and 33, though none of them admit of anv limitation. No answer has been hitherto returned by the Porte to the most pressing remonstrances of the Baron., Accounts from Odessa of the 11th of June say, that, since the 9th, fourteen vessels had arrived with fugitivesfrom Constantinople, who brought the melancholy information that the killing and imprisonment of the Greeks still continued. It was again assertetl at Odessa, that the Greeks in Moldavia bad defeated the Turks before Ibrailow on the 3d of June. It i3 affirme!, in a letter from Trieste, ( June 12),' that the Americans, who are at war with the Barbary States, having learned that the Turkish Sultan iias given orders to those Powers,, to send their corsairs to the Archipelago, and fearing that this measure might prove injurious to the American trade, have declared the ports of Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli in a state of blockade, and have detached a part of their squadron to enforce this determination. The accounts in the Foreign Journals from Turkey, represent the Greek cause in a remarkably promising aspect. Ypsilanti has an army of twenty- five thousand men under his command, and has made head successfully against the Turks in several partial encounters. ti; « object appears to be to avoid a general engagement, and. gradually train and inure his troops, chiefly composed of youthful enthusiasts, to facility in manceuvring, strict discipline, and labor. The Turks, on their side, as we stated last week, were attempting to introduce European'discipline into their ranks, for the purpose of more advantageously meeting the Greeks. But this appears to be impossible, particularly when the Turkish troops, conscious that all depends upon them, have almost thrown off all manner of discipline. But in w> circumstances could they- be brought to submit to leara European discipline and tactics. The celebrated Count de Bonneval, who became a Mahometan, and undertook that task, with the sanction of the " Turkish Sovereign, describes, in his Memoirs, how he was obliged to abandon the attempt to organize and discipline the Turkish troops upon the principles of European tactics. In the Morea, the war is carried on partially, but in a manner the most sanguinary and relentless. I'he Greeks have taken the capital; and two Pachas, who were a>' j vancing to the rebel" of the garrisons, have been cut ia pieces, with ( 5,000 men under their command. At Naples the work of vengeance is proceeding with remorseless rigor. The King has decreed, that " all Officers, of whatever rank, who formed part of the Royal Army, and abandoned their colors to repair to Monte Forte, are degraded from their ranks and military distinctions, and given over to be tried by the. com-, petcnt tribunals." ' I'he Gazetle de France of Tuesday last contains an anecdote relating to Bonaparte's death, the permission to insert which is rather creditable to the policy of the Government. On the day that the news of this event reached Paris, some person meeting General Rapp, said to him—" Alt, General! so then your man is dead !"— " What man?" " What! do you not know of tiie death of Bonaparte?" The General, on hearing these words, seemed much affected, and even tears escaped from his eyes. The King, who was informed of the incident, having on the same day, in going to mass, met Count Rapp by the way, deigned' to tell him, that far from blaming the sensibility he had shewn, he saw in it a new guarantee of - his fidelity. " It is true, Sire,'" replied the General, " that I felt a strong emotion on learning the death of a man to whom I owe everything — even the happiness of serving your M jestv." The Law Officers of the Crown have already been compelled, by a sense of justice, to moderate the cruelty of the Mock Constitutional Society. On Tuesday the Attorney- General informed Mr. Ilobhouse, that he had directed Benboui to be released on common bail. It may be recollected, that the Bridge street Gang imprisoned this man because he could not procure hail for his good behaviour until trial, although they well knew his trial could not possibly take place until Oc'obor, oa as- « iuot of the Corvtwti& a. .270 THE NEWS. THE QUEEN'S VISITS TO THE THEATRES. DRVRY- LANE. On Tursdar night the Queen visited this theatre, and the bills announced that Guy Mannering was selected for the occasion, " by the special desire of her Majesty." ' She entered the theatre precisely at seven o'clock, attended by l< srd and Lady Hood, and was conducted to the box which she occupied on the night of her former visit. Her Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits, and was dressed to grout, advantage. She wore n robe of figured satin, and an elegant scarf of a- light green colour; he. r hair was confined by a circlet of diamonds, disposed in such a manner as to produce a very tasteful c fleet.. The reception she met with must have been highly gratifying to her feelings; for the audience carried their enthusiasm so far a* to insist on the National Anthem being sung twice before the performance commenced, while, ia each instance, the word " Queen" resounded through the house. The pit and galleries appeared actuated bv one and the Same ardent feeling in Iwr favor, and caught, with an instantaneous perception. the slightest term of expression that could be supposed analogous to any circumstance connected with the hite inquiry. Guy Bfanntringypt* w « ll performed as it could be in the. absence of some of the principal singers. . The performers made every exertion ; and Mr. Ma « kay'$ Dominie Sampson, was well received. In the second act, where Lucy Bertram ( MissCubitt) upbraids Gilbert Gfoxsin ( Mr. Oattie) with the dishonest manner in which he became possessed of his property, and retorts upon his declaration that " tiie law gave it him," the expression, " Not from the / me, Sir, Out such as render it subservient to their oxen purposes," the au- - dkuce applied the expression to her Majesty's treatment, nail the delivery of it was loudly applauded. Between the acts tiie Queen's name was pronounced with loud cheers, which her Majesty once or twice rose and graciously acknowledged. During the performance she sat back, so as to be hidden from the public view, and teemed Wholly intent upon the business of the stage,— After . the half- price, and during the renewed greetings applied to her Majesty, four or live young ftien ( we literally give their actual number), and none of them above the appearance of pawnbrokers' lads, attempted £ roin the slips to disturb the audience by cries insulting to the King, whd| se name they uttered with offensive familiarity, when the Queen's was vociferated, and bv hissing; but all their efforts to create even a partial disturbance in the theatre failed, and they were obliged to pass from one place to another in the upper boxes to avoid merited exposure and detection. Between the second and third acts a very luild hiss was heard from an individual in one of the back boxes. Immediately upon the interruption there JVIJS an universal cry cf " Turn him out, turn him ouff and the policemen entered the box. Tho disturber, however, who continued his offensive noise, was left untouched; but the Queen lias no influence in ths appointment of the polic;. A gentleman who attempted to put down this rioter,, was told that he was a Clergyman, and a Clergyman we actually found him to be ; but her Majesty " lias no clerical livings to dispose of. It was the Her. ; but we. decline to. mention his name for two reasons— fast, from a consideration of delicacy, which appealed to have no influence upon this gentleman himself; and secondly, because we would not promote his selfish speculations. Her Majesty retired after the play, amidst tlie warmest applause of a. crowded audience, none of whom appeared to have been specially. sent, or solicited to attend the Theatre; her Majesty has not, indeed, the means, of packing a J ury for such occasions. The Times makes the following addition to their Statement of this royal visit:—" We cannot conclude this . article without noticing in terms of reprobation the disrespectful conduct of Mr. Elliston in announcing her Majesty's intended visit in the play- hill. When a King or Queen orders a play, it is the usual and becoming form to announce it as " by command of his or her Majesty." Mr. Eliiston has most indecorously dropt this respectful phraseology, and states the play to be " by special desire of her Majesty." This misconduct is the more reprehensible, as it is evidently the result of deliberation ; for we are informed that when the play- bill was first printed, the customary phrase of " by command,. & c." had been inserted.

He immediately gave himself up, refusing medicines, would not for some time permit the medical department to see him, liver was perfectly sound; but if it had not covered this hols in the stomach, he must have died long before. So says Dr. Mitchell, who assisted ia the operation.

It is one of the prettiest spots on the island. We may now safely say he was one of the greatest conquerors this world ever produced, but not- a great and noble character. He had also the talent to' discover the abilities that others possessed, and made use of them. He was buried with the highest military honors, and every person in full dress. We had to go full two miles; and the procession, and two thousand troops following aflof tho procession had passed with their arms reversed, was a remarkably floe sight. We of the procession were mounted on horseback until he began to descend the hill, and the body placed on a car drawn by his own horses. His riding horse was led after it, dressed in the style he rode wben at the head of his armies. The sword and mantle he wore when at the battle of Marengo were displayed on the coffin. His being buried in this island will make it become celebrated in history.

It has occurred to us as worthy of note, that a comet of great size appeared a fortnight previous to his demise. Yesterday afternoon we saw him lying in state, in his full uniform, with the crucifix on his breast; his priest stood at the foot of his couch, weeping, in deep mourning: at the head stood General Bertrand and Count Montholon, similarly employed; but what most particularly claimed our sympathy was, the appearance of Madame Bertrand, who was in ail adjoining room weeping bitterly, arid, whose converse dissovered the strength of her attachment, and her deep regret for the deceased."

'•' I may say I had the earliest opportunity of seeing him, and of being in his company, of any person on the island, and nearly the last view and touch of his body. I lived under the same roof for seven weeks on his first arrival, and had an opportunity of having a great deal of conversation with him; during which time he was very pleasant and agreeable with the family I resided with: since which I hare seldom seen him until to- day, when he was lying in the full dress of a General of the legion of Honor, and appeared to be more like a person asleep than a corpse, and very little altered from when I first saw him. On his countenance there was ah appearance of a pleasant smile. " He is lo be interred on Thursday next, at four o'clock, oil a spot chosen by himself some time previous to hia death.

" Bonaparte may be said to have died rather heroically than otherwise, as the pain arising from tbe disease must have been very acute, and he never uttered a complaint.— He refused medicine as useless, and stated, a month previous to his death, that he should never rise from his bed again. At that period he also said, that lie was confident he knew belter than the surgeons what his disease was; and that it was the same that his father died of. The pain that it gave him, he described as if a knife had been run into his body, and broke short off, the wound dosing externally afterwards. A few hours previous to his decease he is said to hare drawn his hands from his sides ar. d to have clasped them over his breast, doubtless offering up a prayer at the same time.

HELENA STATION. •• « St. Helena, May 15. " Bonaparte died after an illness of six weeks. He was only considered seriously so the last fortnight, when ha sent for Dr. Arnott, of the 20th regiment. Although every medical man offered to attend, he declined further assistance, and made Count Montholon promise, on tiie event of his losing his senses, that no one else should be permitted in his room. Ha told Arnott he had perfect conf. dunce in bis abilities, but was convinced his complaint was incurable, and not to be discovered; he, however, expressed himself witling to submit to any treatment he wished. He stated that his father died of the same at 38 years of age, and desired his body might be. opened to ascertain the cause, in order that his son might take precautions to guard against it as much as possible. He must have suffered great pain, although no complaint was uttered. For several days previous to his death he had his son's butt placed at the foot of his bed, and constantly kept his eyes fixed upon it till he breathed his last. I went with ths Admiral to see his body, previous to the operation being performed. He looked more like one sleeping than dead; nor had he the least appearance of sickness. His nose and mouth 1 was particularly struck with, as being beautiful. The countenance was placid and serene, and there wai something very noble and commanding in it. If 1 had not known his age, I should have judged him not. more, than forty. On opening the body, they were struck with the lilt and healthy appearance, until they opened the stomach, which was full of ulcers the breadth of your hand ; and below the upper part oi the liver, a cancer was found, which had eaten u hole large effough lo admit the little finger. Tlie murmured what seemed to the hearers to be ' Ti ie ctarmecs.' He shortly afterwards said ' France,' and never spoke again. The head and face < jf Bonaparte were immensely large in proportion to his body; they may with great propriety be said to be the » aly parts that could be reckoned fine; his face, fourteen hours after his deatfy, was one ol' the most interesting that could be imagined, but from the extreme heat of the climate, the decay was so rapid that shortly afterwards the features collapsed, and at tile lime that he was laid in state, after hi* having been opened, the countenance had undergone a total alteration. His body was altogether mean; bones very small, and very little muscle; he was very fat, even at tbe time of his death. On opening him, his heart was found very small and feeble, and loaded with fat; his liver was large, and one of his kidneys reversed. It seems that he would have died much sooner if the liver had not forced itself into the hole in his stomach, and hindered tlx? aliment from escaping ; but except from a slight irritation, naturally to be expected at this part of the liver, as it was in contact with the diseased quarter, it was completely sound and healthy, and did not shew the least symptoms of the complaint which lie was stated by Mr. O'Meara to suffer under. His hand was rather effeminate, but beautiful.— The wounds on his body were as follow:— A small wound on tin; head, received from the halbert of an English sergeant at Toulon; one above the knee by a spent ball, re ceived at Ratisbon; and one near the ancle, a deep musketball graze that he received in Italy. His cranium did not give the satisfaction to the craniologists that was anticipated. A great deal of trouble was taken by Drs. Mitchell and Burton to have a cast of his face and cranium ; but unfortunately the quality of the gypsum, which was only to be procured from the island, was such as rendered all their attempts fruitless. A short time previous to his death he scratched an N with a penknife on a snuff- box, which he presented to Dr. Arnott for his attendance on him, and has left the above gentleman 5U0 Napoleons."

The issue of Tickets for viewing Westminster- hall ceased on Tuesday, and Wednesday was the last day that « difice would be opened to general inspection till after the Coronation. We understand that no less than forty thousand Tickets were issued bv the L- ord Great Chamtierlain during the eight days the Hall was opened to the public. Some estimate may be formed, from this, of the labours of his Lordship's Socretarv and other officers. The Tickets for admission to the Hall on the day of the Coronation, are now stamping wi th the Lord Great Chamberlain's seal. We state, from authority, that the intention which existed, of throwing open Wesbninster- hall to the populace, after the banquet, has been abandoned, from an apprehension that' the impetuosity of the persons admitted might produce mischievous consequences to themselves. Two folding gates have been erected at the north entrance to the Hall, which, from their peculiar construction,, would resist the pressure of any ordinary force which might be applied to them. In addition to the several regiments of cavalry summoned to London to attend the Coronation, we understand that all the yeomanry corps within fifty miles of the metropolis, will likewise be present. A consultation took plaoe in the Lord Great Chamberlain's Office,- on Monday, as to the probable time which the various ceremonies to be gone through on the day of the Coronation would occupy, when it was conn sidered, that, under all circumstances, it will be impossible for hisMajesty to sit down to dinner till eight o'clock • in the evening. In this view of the case, it was deemed necessary that preparations should be made for lighting Westminster- hall, and the avenues leading to and from it, on the approach of nightfall, awl orders to that effect have been issued. Splendid chandeliers are , to be. suspended from the heads of each of the angels terminating the arches which support the roof of the Hall ( 28 in number), and each of these chandeliers will contain from 60 to 00 wax candles; independent of these, there will be brilliant candelabras, and other lights, on the tables aad royal platform. The dining- rooms in the House of Lords, Court* of Law, as well as all the other rooms and passages through which the members of the procession will have occasion to pass, will also be lighted with eande'iabras, lustres, branches, and lamps. THE OHAMPJON.— On Thursday afternoon Mr. DymoIce tried on the suit of armour in which he is to appear before the^ King in Westminster- hail. It might be termed a dressed rehearsal; and Astlev's Amphitheatre had to boaBt of a select few of the nobility and gentry who were admitted upon this occasion to witness the performance of- the Champion; the Duchess of St. Alban'e, Lady Caroline Lamb, & c. being present. The suit of armour is composed of burnished steel, and originally belonged to the proprietor of the Gothic- hall, in ' I'aU- inall. The horse on which tlie Champion is to ride « n tlie day of the coronation is quite familiar to the public eye. It is a handsome, strong, block and white Hanoverian horse, of the name of an old stager, and king accustomed to the glare of lamps, tlie sound of trumpets, and the pomp and paraphernalia attached to processions; and Cato appears to have been most judiciously selected for this purpose. The Champion is a fine young man, about 6 feet 10 inches in height, and under tiie tuition of Mr. Blythe, the riding- master at Astley's, has made great progress towards giving eclat to his character at the coronation. The arinour weighs upwards of 701b. The Champion, on being dressed, mounted his charger with very little assistance, and immediately rode across the stage, bowing to the ladies ; he then backed his charger with considerable ease and facility ; and as a proof of the steadiness of old Cato, on one of his feet accidentally touching one of the side scenes which fell down, he remained perfectly quiet. The Champion was without his hehnet, and plume, of feathers ; these kitter articles not being quite finished. On Wednesday, about one o'clock, the Duke of Cambridge arrived in town from Hanover, and alighted at the palace of the King at Pall- mall, where he remained with his Majesty about two hours, and then proceeded to Ruckingliam- house, which is to be his Roval Highiness's temporary resklence during his stay in England: he was there received bv the Princess Augusta. Letters from Constantinople of the 0th ult. mention, that Danesi, the banker, has been plit to death by order of tKe Porte, notwithstanding the pressing instances of Count Strogonoff, the Russian Ambassador, to save him— i result which must have been the more painful to that Minister, as it is understood that the unfortunate Danesi was solely induced to remain in Constantinople by the assurances of his protection. About half- past eleven o'clock on Thursday evening a most alarming fire broke out in the house of Mr. Clarke, broker and undertaker, in Clcrkemvell- grecn, which was by ten o'clock completely consumed. On Thursday the London Police received information of an outrage committed by some smugglers, at Deal, on two Officers of Exeise. Tbe names of the sufferers are Payne and Smith, and the aggressors appear to have beeil extremely nii'merou ® . The former Lad rendered themselves very ObnoxjL- us to the assailants by their active conduct, arid they became marked objects of vengeance. A short time since they were surprised by a body of armed men, who seized them, and having stripped them, and tarred and feathered them, paraded them through the public streets in a cart, till ;; t length they > ierercseued, half dead, by the jpoli. e. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. P A R I S , J U L Y 7.— The Duke de Grammont takes with him to Ixindon six gentlemen of embassy, eight. colonels or superior officers, with their aides- de- camp, and M. Viscount Marcellus, as Secretary of Legation. His mission will last only six- weeks. This embassy, it is said,, will be the most brilliant of till those from the states of Europe- Extract of a letter from Argostoli ( Cefalonia), dated June 2:—" The absence of the High Commissiener of his Britannic Majesty, Sir Thomas Maitland, is a particular happiness for the Ionian Isles ; and if, as is to be hoped, we have got rid of him, there is no doubt but it will cause general joy among our fellow- citizens. The ' hatred that he bears to the Greeks—: i hatred that he has manifested in so fatal a manner by contributing to the cession of Parga— would have again operated ou the unfortunate refugees from Patras, who have found an asylum in our country. They doubt not but he would have driven them back; but Providence has spared us the sorrow of having to deplore such a calamity." The ' fetter proceeds to state the several instances in which the Greeks have'suceeeded against the Turks,— They mutually massacre each other when and wherever opportunity allows them. A'il the islarids of the Archipelago, except two, have unfurled the standard of the cross, and the commerce between Egypt and Constantinople is entirely intercepted. A! i Pacha holds out with success. Macedonia and Illyria may be regarded as entirely free. The Barbary powers will not besuffcred to navigate within forty miles to the west of the Ionian Sea. The English soldiers in the Ionian Isles are said to heartily desire the success of the Greeks. JULY 8.— We are informed that Bonaparte has left 40 millions ( of francs), deposited in the Tower of London. His son is heir to these great savings.— Gazette de France. ( The credulous journalist may have the reversion of this immense fortune without subjecting himself to the charge of being bribed to flatter the memory of the ex- Emperor.) D E A T H OF BONAPARTE. CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES.— SITTING OP THE OTH. The following is the account of the manner in which tlie sitting of Friday terminated, extracted from the three papers whose names are enjoined :— M. Duplessis- Grenedan ascended the tribune, and founded his opposition to the project of law on the use which had hitherto been made of the censure. ( Several Members on the left, eager to hear the Speaker, returned in a crowd to their places.) He persisted in designating the party of lionaparte as being a powerful one. M. C. Pcrrier.—" Say no more of Bonaparte, he is dead!" M. Grenedan.—" He is dead, but there are still persons ready to shout, ' The Emperor is dead! Vice TErnpereur.'" The Speaker, perceived that the chamber was wearied by so prolonged and strtrmv a sitting ; he desisted from speaking, notwithstanding the entreaties of his numerous friends, and left the tribune.— Journal des Dcbats. M. Duplessis- Grenedan mounted the tribune. The orator opened an immense volume of manuscripts; the attention was already damped. Hir voice was so weak that lie could scarce be heard. He began, before speaking of the censorship, by presenting a picture of the despotic reign of the usurper, and of his most zealous servants. " But," added he, " the usurper is dead; let us speak of him no more." ( Interruption from the centre.) Then turning himself towards the left side he exclaimed—" Cry now, if you please, five TEmpereur At this moment all [ he Members on both sides quitted their places, the Ministers retired, and the Speaker descended from the tribune without having pronouhced the fourth of his discourse.— Gazette de France. M. Duplessis- Grenedan.— Here the speaker entered into a long digression ' on the conduct, of the Ministry— his breast labored— his voice became exhausted— he had ceased to be listened to— when tlie w< 1rd " Usurper,' pronounced with a strong voice, struuk our ears. M. Casiinir Perrier exclaimed, " It is the kick of tlx ap. s— the lion is dead!"—" Tlie partisans of Bonaparte,' replied M. Duplessis- Grenedan, " may now cry ' L'Empertur est niort, l ice i'Empereur/' " A voice on the left—" It is a seditious cry." A murmur of a particular character ran through the assembly, ani> its. oon after broke up !— Constitutionnel. Mr. ABRAHAM acquiesced iii the suggestion, and kick a rule to shew cause to- morrow, why the money should not be refunded. Wednesday, July 1 1. R. MARTIN, EK( J. M, P. V. HAWKINS AND ANOTHER. Mr. SCARLETT requested time, in this case, to answer the affidavit filed by the pktintiff. The fact was, that Mr. Martin having borrowed 0,0001. five years since ( and never paid a shilling'either of interest or principal), suddenly discovered that he had been cheated of SCO!, out of it: but against a rule only twenty hours old tlie parties were not prepared to shew cause. Mr. NotAN.— That is a neat way for the Learned Gentleman's clients to set over an indictment for conspiracy, which they richly deserve; but if the case stands over, I trust we shall have leave to file additional affidavits. The C O C R T decided that cause should be. shewn next Term: tiie plaintiff beir; g at liberty to file affidavits within a week. SALISBURY V. MORTON AND ANOTHER,. This was a petition from a prisoner in the King's Bench against two Sheriff's officers for extortion. The names of the officers are Morton and Cavanagh, and tlie undue charges were important ratlier as a " matter of principle than from their individual amount. The plaintiff was beard in person. Mr. SCARLETT appeared for the defendants. The COURT ordered that Morton should pay 13!. 21. to the plaintiff for reparation, 11. for cost*, and 101. as a fine to the King. Cavanagh was fined' 71.— 11. to the plaintiff for reparation, 11. for costs, and SI. to the King. SALISBURY V. GIBBON, n lis was a similar application by the same plaintiff against a tipstaff of the King's Jiench prison. The charge was, that Gibbon had taken ( for removal bv Habeas Corpus to the King's Bench prison) a fee of ten shillings and sixpence; he being only entitled, according to the table of fees hung up in that prison, to charge six shillings. The defendant stated ' that the fee of ten and sixpence had been taken by himself and his predecessors in office, for more than live and twenty years. The COURT, not having before it upon affidavit the table of fees relied on by the plaintiff, ordered that the matter should stand over till next Term. AN ATTORNEY STRUCK OPP T H S ROLLS. Mr. CAMPBELL shewed cause against a rule obtained by Mr. Stocks, calling upon an Attorney to shew cause why he should not pay back the sum of 491. which he lend received from a client, and why he should not be struck off the Rolls for improper practice ? The application was made to the Court on the ground that the Attorney received from his client, the defendant in aa action, the sum of •!&!., for the purpose' of paying it over to the plaintiff. Instead, however, of paying the money to the plaintiff in the action, he applied it to liis own use, and left the defendant to be proceeded against in execution. Mr. Campbell read the affidavit of the Attorney, who did not deny the misapplication of the money, but petitioned the Court not to grant- the motion, on the ground that various circumstances of a pecuniary nature had occasioned the non- payment of the defendant's money to the plaintiff in the cause. It was stated' that by way of reparation he had offered, to pay the defendant the money, with costs and expenses incurred, in case application was not made to the Court. It was also alleged that he was a young Attorney, and that las embarrassment had arisen from an executor not paying a legacy. The CHIEF JUSTICE, on giving judgment in this ihatter, said, " We are called on in this case to exercise a painful duty, but we must porform it. Our duty to the. suitors of this Court requires that we should not suffer a person to continue? an officer of this Court who is found receiving money from his client, arid applying it to his own use, instead of paying ii over to the plaiirtiff in the action, leaving his client to be taken in execution. The rule against him must be absolute." This being the last day of Term, the Court sat to a late hour hearing and deciding motions. POLICE. LAIV INTELLIGENCE. C O U R T O F KING ? B E N C H , JOLY 10. R. MARTIN, ESQ. M, P . , {'.' HAWKINS AND ANOTHER. Mr. ABRAHAM moved for a rule to shew cause why two Attorneys of this Court should not answer the matters of the affidavits: and why they should not refund to Mr. Martin two several sums of 2001. and 5001. under the following circumstances:— Some years since Mr. Martin, in consequence of an advertisement, offering an advance of 0,0001. on mortgage, was introduced to the advertiser, and by him referred to the attorneys alluded to, who were to negotiate tbe loan by way ot annuity. The deeds were prepared, and the money at length advanced ; upon which the money broker claimed u sum of llOOl. as his commission on the transaction, and the attorney said, he must have 5001. for his charge in preparing the deeds and negoeiating the affair, which sums were respectively paid. Mr. Justice BAY LEY asked when the transaction took place; and being answered that it occurred several years since, his Lordship said the application should have been made promptly. Probably a rule calling on the attorneys to refund the money w ould answer the purpose, without superadding the term o; answering the mutters si' the affidavit.' Gt'lLUHAlX. ATTEMPTED S U I C I D E . — O n Monday afternoon, between 5 and 0 o'clock, as Miles Phillips, a waterman, was returning in his boat to Black friars- bridge, after a fare, he observed a female in an apparently disord? iretl state on the causeway adjoining tins landing- place ; and perceiving her, in the act of taking off her bonnet and shoes, he suspected she was about to throw herself into the river; he rowed quickly towards her, but she immediately took a run along the causeway, and plunged into the water. Phillips . was near enough, and btteuipttd to catch her in her fall, and again upon her rising the fret time, but without success. He waited, however, patiently for her cotuing up the second time, arid, was fortunate enough to succeed in saving her, got her with much trouble into his boat, and conveyed her on shore in a state of insensibility. She was subsequentlv taken « are of at the Compter, but nut being sufficiently recovered to give any account ( if herself on Tuesday, she wa* brought up on Wt dnesflay to this office, before Alderman T. Smith. She appeared in great agitatjtn, said she w as a married woman, that her name was Sarah Heskins, and ' that she was in such a ( teal of trouble, she scarcely knew what she did, or what she had done. A more detailed account of the poor woman was, however, given bv Mr?.. George, who keeps the Old Feathers public- house, Waterloo- bridge. She stated that she bad k n o w n Mrs. Hosteins for a l o n g time, and t h a t since Good Fridav. iast she had been living entirely t. t h e r h i u s e .

The more immediate cause of the rash act . she had learnt from the poor woman, was the having met her husband on Monday afternoon, who, in the 6ourse of their conversation, had contrived to get his wife's hands and feet shut in with a gate where they were talking, and before she could extricate herself he ran off without having afforded her any relief, and in . the distress and, agitation of mind thus occasioned, she liad determined to make away with herself. Mrs. George undertook to protect her until something could be done for her, and she was accordingly delivered into her care, after a serious admonition/ from the worthy Alderman, who advised her to apply to tlie parish officers, who would take the necessary steps to compel the husband to support her, if he could be found. A trifle was given her for her immediate subsistence, and she retired with her friend Mrs. George, apparently deeply affectcd with her situation. The poor woman's appearance was very respectable, and her age about 40, Phillips, the waterman, applied to know whether there was any reward to be had for his trouble. The magistrate replied that praise was due to him for his exertions, and lie had no doubt that on his application to the Humane Society, every proper atteutiou would bo paid to liim for his good conduct. heat. It is an interesting. fact, that on the first of the dog days there w. m ice oil the pemds in the vicmity of the metropolis. ' SUMMIiR ASSIZES. HOME CIRCUIT.

Perhaps hopes are entertained that another Commission would be more effectual than the last. The American papers mention that Mr. Kean, not finding the Boston Theatre fill according to his expectations, on a sudden quitted that place, leaving the small rudieuce assembled, and the manager, to procure another Richard in the best manner they were able. As might be expected, the Americans are indignant at this treatment, In his defence, Mr. Kean says—" 1 live bv " my professional exertions. Innumerable family clains " arc satisfied Irv cach month's disbursements: t cannot " afford to give" those talents away. I had performed " two of my principal characters without hopes of re- " numeration in that town, where my efforts had, two months before, contributed largely to augment the " public charities. 1 repeat, I had acted two characters " to the very extent of my abilities without profit. On " looking through the curtain, at seven o'clock, on the " night I was to repeat Richard the Third ( that eha- " ractor which has been the foundation of ray fame and " fortune),' I counted twenty persons in front of the " theatre. I then decided, hastily if you please, that it was better to husband my resources for a more fa- " rorable season, and, in this decision, no disrespect was contemplated to tbe audience, slender as it was." • On Tuesday night, about half- past scren o'clock, prepuratorv to the Norwich Mail Cart starting from Mr. Sadler's coach- offioe, in Goswell- street, tlie ostler was fixing the hor^ to the vehicle, when tlie animal took fright, and ran with tlie greatest fury along Goswellastreet, through St- Martin's- Ie- grand, knocking down and running- over several persons on its way who endeavoured to stop it. It then turned round the corner « > f Newgate- street, and bent its course along Cheapside • with such - velocity that tlie lives of the passengers were placed in imminent danger. At the corner of Old Change, Cheapside, the wheel caught one of tlie iron posts with such excessive violence, that the wheel flew off, and dashed against a taan that was very near, and • why was knocked insensible to the ground: the blood rushed from his head in a dreadful manner. Tlie affrighted anifnal was not ret stopped in its progress, and it ran on with redoubled fury, from the not « « proceeding from the shock ofthe above circmnstancc : two men endrwonred to stop it, but one of thctir was knocked dn\ vu, and the vehicle passed over his body: he was also drendfullv injured. The horse then ran on ; LS f i r as J5o » - Church, where it was stopped bv a boy, who caught hold of the reins. The two unfortunate men who wore knocked down, were carried to St. Bartholomew's Hospital; one of them received a dreadful fracture just over the eve from the wheel: the blood gushed profusely. They arc iiot able to speak, and there is Ettie hope of recovery. MARRIED. On tbe 12th inst. at Islington church.' Mr. John Atkinson, junior, of Goswell- street. to Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Wm.
