This was done in conformity to old modern decisions in England are, for the reasons regulations. This arrangement stands on record, aforesaid, discarded from our view. As for those in our own country, they are both ways; and some of them have regarded the English cases more than great principles. We are to judge for ourselves in this chaos of judgments, and we submit the result of our best deliberation. That result, while it does not infringe upon utility, comity or convenience, in the smallest degree, is essential to justice between the parties. We only contend that a party shall have an opportunity to prove the truth of those facts, on which his claim to compensation is founded; and that he may have the benefit of his witnesses here, whom he could neither summon nor carry into a foreign country. and I have copied it and referred to it particularly for illustration. As the Americans heretofore had no cruisers which came to Canton, the arrangement pointed solely and only to the English. Heen-le's American cruiser has now anchored at Ling-ting, and, according to the Nanchoy's statement of the Hong merchants' declaration to the ship's coming here, arises from the circumstance of the American merchantmen having to pass Spain in their way, and therefore the said nation had ordered the said cruiser to cruise about, and convoy the merchantmen-a gale of wind had driven her to Ling-ting, where she had anchored, but she had no other cause or reason for coming. However, as she had been long at sea, and many of the sailors were sick, and provisions wanting, she will require to buy some, and to repair the vessel, sails and ropes, but she had no person to make the necessary purchases. These appeared to be the facts. It Our opinion, consequently, is, that the court of may be right to accord with the said chief's earnest hustings did not err, on either of the points stated entreaty and solicitation, and the request of the in the bills of exceptions; and that the judgment said Nanchoy, to imitate the regulations made for of the district court reversing its judgment, is erro- the English cruisers, and to allow a compredore to That judgment is, of course, to be revers.be given in order to manifest the tender hospitality ed, and that of the court of hustings affirmed. of the CELESTIAL empire to remote foreigners, The judges were unanimous in this opinion; all of whom it views with equal benevolence: and except that judge Brooke requested the presiding further, it may be right to enjoin the Hong mer judge to say, that he dissented from so much there-chants to ascertain how many American merchantof as decided, that the decree in question was not conclusive.

Paper from the acting vice roy, through the Hoppo, to I have received an official document from the acting vice roy, of which the following is a copy: "An expose has been received from the Poo Ching sye, (treasurer), which reads thus: men yet remain in the port, and how many persons the said cruiser requires to act as compredores, and to do the same in this case as with other foreign ships, viz: to request the Hoppo to decide the number of persons: to order the Hong merchants to select safe men to act as compredores, and to enquire when all the merchantmen have sailed, after which the cruiser must not be permitted to linger about on the coast; and further, to command the said chief, that, when peace prevails at sea, a cruiser must not again be allowed to come as convoy, that there. may be conformity to old regulations.' Thus far the statement of Kwang Chow-Foo came before me the treasurer, and, on re-examining the question, I have no different reasonings to offer, but transmit the information and wait for further or ders." I, the acting vice roy, also received a document from the honorable the superior tendent of customs, (the Hoppo) couched in these words: On the 22d of the 10th month, in the 24th year of Kea-king, I received a letter from the acting vice roy, couched in these words: "With all possible ex. pedition institute an immediate consultation on the question, whether or not Heen-le's American cruiser, "I, the Hoppo, received an official document which has come to Canton as convoy to their mer- from your honor, the acting vice roy, requesting chant vessels, shall be put upon the same footing me to interrogate the Hong merchants and order as the English cruisers, and have a compredore them to communicate my commands to the said given her?

This is an instance of the needful attention and care of that country. The place of anchorage for these ships of war, was, by an order from court, decided to be either at Ling-ting or Cabercta Point. chant vessels convoyed to Canton by Heen-le's cruiser? Where are those merchantmen anchored? Have they yet sailed to return home or have they not? Return an immediate and true answer." I, the Hoppo, have, on receiving this document, ordered the Hong merchants to make the required interrogations and return an answer, which they have done to this effect: We, in obedience to the orders given, went in person to the foreign temporary residence and took the orders we had received, and communicated the orders to the American nation's chief, Wilcocks, and he, after making the necessary enquiries, returned these answers; My foreign country's cruiser Heen-le has receiv ed from authority to go to sea and keep in sub-stress of weather, such cruisers as these, in times jection every merchantman that may come from past, have been restricted to the ocean, there was my country to Canton, without any exception, no no occasion for her to come out and anchor in the matter what the name may be; it is his duty to waters of Canton. cruise throughout the whole course of the passage, to look after the merchantmen and convoy them.Again, there are of my country's merchantmen, at Canton, ten sail-their names are, Fee-la, and so on; they are now anchored at Whampoa, and have not yet set sail to return home, &c. We, the Hong merchants, in obedience to the orders given us, communicated the injunctions and now present the above answers. This time, since she has suffered in the gale, it is proper for me to allow her to repair, and to give her a compredore to display a tender hospitality; and, therefore, I give the necessary instructions to the judge, treasurer, and all other officers concerned, to yield obedience to what I have granted.

Thus the acting viceroy has written to me, the Hoppo, and I write all that has passed, and put it into this official form, and hereby command the Hong merchants to inform the said nation's chief that the laws and institutions of the celestial empire are most strict, (and, in the close of the viceroy's letter,) do not oppose a special edict.

Further, as to what is said to the proposed arrangement, that the cruiser is for convoy, and after the merchantmen leave, the cruiser must not linger about on the coast.

The next arrival may bring us accounts down to the 17th, the day fixed to commence the proceedings against the queen. It is stated that she has recently written a letter to the king to which he replied. The lords were pouring in to attend the trial of the queen, and cargoes of witnesses against her had arrived. It does not now appear that her letter to the king had been replied to. The nature of this correspondence is unknown. The queen was preparing to attend her trial before the house of lords in great stile-in a state coach drawn by six horses, and surrounded by servants in royal liveries, &c.

The queen arrived in her new state coach (which is minutely described) in royal stile. She was cheered by the vast multitude through which she passed; every hat was seemingly waved and every voice exerted to express the zeal and sympathy of the people. All the windows, balconies, &c. were filled with ladies elegantly dressed, who waved their white handkerchiefs as she went along. The cavalcade moved slowly,-Carlton house was closed, but the centiuels presented arms to the queen, as did the soldiers at the Horse Guards. She often bowed to the people, especially to the ladies, whose numbers were immense-and the persons in the streets were supposed to amount to three hundred thousand! The London Statesman, has hoisted a new motto on the front of its diurnal sheet-"The cause for which Hampden fell in the field, and Sydney died on the scaffold." The police magistrates of London have been notified from the secretary of state's office, not to be absent on the 17th of August, the day on which the queen's trial commences. The opposition are mustering all their strength in support of a motion, to be brought forward by lord John Russel, that an humble address be presented to his majesty, by his faithful commons, to request that he may be pleased to prorogue parliament immediately on its meeting, that the members may have an opportunity, by their presence in their several counties, to allay the distresses and irritation which prevail throughout the country. The direct object of this is to get rid of the queen's trial. Bank.

The house of lords met on the 11th, and the lord chancellor took his seat on the woolsack at past 3 o'clock. After some other proceedings, the duke of Leinster rose and stated, that in consider ation of the present state of the country, he felt it consistent with his duty to give the earliest possible intimation of his determination, to oppose the proceedings on the bill of pains and penalties, by every means in his power. And some arrangements being made, among which was an address to his majesty for the attendance of guards in the house-the lords adjourned until the 17th. The queen entered the house of lords about 10 o'clock-was treated respectfully, and seated near the throne-she was dressed in mourning, with a white veil thrown over her head. The order of the day for the second reading of the bill of pains and penalties, was moved by the earl of Liverpool-the duke of Leinster moved to rescind the order of the day-lost, 41 for 260 against it.— Debate then followed on lord Liverpool's motion, and various incidental points were argued. The judges who were in attendance, being called upon, delivered an opinion that, though adultery might be committed by the queen with a foreigner, it could not amount to high treason, because the fo reigner did not act contrary to his allegiance, he owing no allegiance to the king of this country. Mr. Brougham came forward for the purpose of being heard against the principle of the bill, and spoke with great force. He vindicated his client, and made a powerful argument, and concluded as follows."I close here what I have to urge, but because I know your lordships are men of justice, men of principle, men of ordinary sagacity-above all that you are men of honor, and I am confident that I have not made my appeal to you upon this bill in vain, True it is that a committee has reported in its favor-but he is certainly the greatest of all fools who tells us to consult our apparent consis. tency at the expense of absolute ruin. The sooner you retrace the step you were induced to take at an unwary moment, the sooner you will promote the peace and real safety of the country, and the more you will consult the true dignity and honor of the crown. If your lordships decide that this measure shall proceed no further, you will be saviours of the state, and secure the substantial happiness of the whole community." We have a copy of the letter from the queen to her husband. It is very long, and shall be preserv. ed for curiosity and reference. She narrates the persecutions which she has suffered with much force. She concludes by protesting against the mode of her trial, and demands one in a court, before an impartial jury, &c. The Courier (official paper) calls her letter "the infuriated ebullition of a desperate woman;" but other papers praise it very much. The language is certainly very bold and daring-as the following brief extract will shew -demand a trial in a court where the jurors are taken impartially from amongst the people, and where the proceedings are open and fair: Such a trial I court,and to no other will I willingly submit.

RUSSIA, A writer in the Aurora, referring to the late famous Russian state paper regarding Spain, has these remarks: "To Alexander, in particular, Spain will add, that his lead in this new holy alliance is not extraordinary; since, under a constitutional king, the nation can no longer be the dupe to his intrigues and artifices; nor will his ambassadors be permitted to prostitute themselves, and those belonging to them, for the purpose of forming secret treaties, by which the most sacred rights of the people of Spain, (the only true sovereigns), are trampled on, and the nation thereby drained of immense wealth-and attempts made at pecuniary possession of Spanish territories, to increase his own inordinate ambition, under the pretext of supLondon, Aug. 11.

The reports of disturbances at Palermo, and in Sicily generally, have been to-day fully confirmed. Palermo is nearly destroyed by cannon and fire-the slaves and prisoners let loose from prison, and committing every excess and havock. This we fear will hurt the cause of true constitutional freedom which had begun to manifest itself in these quarters, and will afford a pretext for the Austrian army marching into Naples and other countries, and which, it is said, is already on the route, 80,000 strong. was effected by Tatichef, the Russian minister at Madrid, and his wife, (the former mistress of prince Esterhazy), with the king; and was done with so much secresy, that not one of the ministers of the king knew any thing of the treaty, long after it had been concluded; and it is a fact, that the ships were actually in Cadiz bay some time before notice was given to the minister of marine that such vessels belonged to the Spanish nation. "That such has been the conduct of the preconstitution. But this lasted only a single day. On tendedly great and virtuous Alexander, is too well the 15th July, the yellow or Sicilian ribbon was dis-known to admit of a doubt. The treaty for the sale played in conjunction with the other. An accident, of a few rotten pine ships, it is notoriously known, or an indiscretion, exasperated the people against the Neapolitan authorities and troops: an English officer, in the pay of Naples, is said to have torn the badge of Sicilian independence from the breast of an unarmed citizen. The forts in possession of the Neapolitan soldiery were attacked and carried by the islanders. An association of distinguished individuals was formed for the maintenance of tranquility, but in vain. On the night of the 16th, the garrison were concentrated in the public squares of Palermo. On the morning of the 17th, 700 prisoners were released from confinement by the populace. Then the work of death began. The Nea. politans were furiously attacked, and, we fear, indiscriminately butchered. "The enormous sum paid for these ships, and their being declared, immediately after, rotten and unseaworthy, is equally notorious to the world.
