TRIUMPH OF THE QUEEN. Theoretically we never agreed with those Philo sephers, who assert, it:;tt excess of happiness has equal power to suspend the reasoning faculties as the extreme of grief; but at the present moment we are obliged to confess oar practical assent to the pro position. We last week wrote under the most awful, terrible, and appalling anticipation—We now sce the political horizon cleared from the thunder cloud that threatened the total annihilation of that valued fabric, the British Constitution. We last week saw " in our mitid.; eye" father and son op posed to each other in gory warfare—we now sce the prospect of re-union and returning amity among those who should, as Englishmen, always feel as brothers. THE BILL IS WITHDRAWN, and we hesi tate not note to declare our firm, our decided con viction, that had bribery, perjury, hope of gain and fear of loss, united with that infernal Influence • which it is but too apparent Ministers possess, and equally certain they feel no compunction in using most shamelessly —and had these in union, succeeded in passing into a law,the illegal, cruel measure, that worst of curses on a nation, an infuriated civil war, must have been the consequence; a civil war, too, in which the best feelings of oar nature would have been opposed to our allegiance ; in which we must have chosen between the alternatives of acting as Villains or Traitors; where we must have seconded tyrannical persecution of the most heinous kind, or have flown in the face of that Government, to bow to which, as long as it preserves a semblance of pro priety of conduct, is at once our duty and our pride. Those who look at events only, who study not to trace causes and consequences, arc but very little competent to appreciate properly the stupendous importance of the proceedings of Friday last in the House of Lords. Evary body knows, that had the Bill passed, persecuted innocence would have fallen a victim to foul conspiracy ; but we have every rea son to believe, that on the success or defeat of this measure, much more important effects were depen dant. Had it succeeded, it would have been the fore-runner of greater violence ; the roil of iron would have chased away the symbol of mercy ; the Dove would have been frightened from its abode in the presence of Majesty, and despotism would have usurped the place of a mixed and revered code of Taws. As it has failed, concessions must, and will be made to re-attach the people to the government. The great body of the nation is sound,(though a few may be otherwise), and the moment an Administra tion shall be formed on which it may be possible to look without distrust, returning respect will be daily visible, and the unpopularity which the recent measures of the present Cabinet have produced to wards the King will, we hope, be succeeded by that enthusiastic attachment which it is very difficult even to suspend in the bosoms of Englishmen. The age of miracles is not passed. Lord Liver pool has declared himself a convert—he bus ceased to be an intolerant Tory, and has become a decided Whig. Out of his own mouth mill we convict him of this virtue—" My conviction of her Majesty's guilt," said the Noble Earl, " is unshaken, yet with a majority so small, and feeling how difficult it would be to impress conviction on the public mind, I feel it my duty to propose that this Bill be read this day six months." Thus, after having polluted the public mind fur nearly two months, by the repeti . tiotitof the most filthy and disgustin g d e t a il s , a ft er havi n g, by ministerial influence, dragged the Bill the House of Lords, he turns round against his own conviction, against the personal wishes of his Sovereign, and gives up the Bill. And why? Why, by his own declaration, in consequence of that great aril glor;uus high Whig feeling—Sur:me- SENO' TO THE PUBLIC VOiCE.—A change of Ali nisters must itetxr,!::trily take place, for after a decla ration so hone ,ruble to hill), tau ettoLot continue to act with my.: 1-.!! ‘ ), , THE NATIONAL REGISTER their past conduct, would rather act as Members of a Government upheld by the musket and sabre, than under a Monarch whose benignity should attach to hint the warm aflixtions of his people, and enable Mtn with confidence, lilze the sainted Elizabeth, to point to his unarmed suljects, exclaiming, " These are my best Guards."—Petitions to the King for an immediate dismissal of Ministers will doubtless pour in from every quarter—Petitions to the House of Commons for a rigid investigation into the con duct of the originators and conductors of the Milan Commission must load the table, and we hope yet, to see justice done, by the impeachment of those who have been the chief actors in this momentous drama. ATTEMPT AT EVSURUECTION IN TOBAGO. The following letter on this subject was written by a medical gentleman to his friend in EdinbUrgh " Toaaoo, SEPT. s.—Knowing your anxiety about all that concerns me, and Luring lest unplea sant reports respecting this island may reach your ears and create alarm, I take an early opportunity of communicating a few particulars on our present cri tical situation in this colony. " About ten days ego a house in the town of Sarbro' was discovered to he on fire. Alarm was given, assistance obtained, and the ravaging flame speedily extinguished. On examination into the case, &c. of this accident, matters deeply interesting, as involving the property and even the lives of the inhabitants of Tobago, were discovered. A train was laid communicating with some canisters of gun. pwder ; and, from the windward situation of the house, and other circumstances, there is not the shadow of a doubt as to the diabolical intention of the wretches who Lid the plot. " Next day several suspicious negroes were taken up, and evidence procured of a nature truly alarming. " You must understand that, fram the great loss of troops by the late fever, our garrison was reduced from nearly 200 to 30 men ; this poor, debilitated, and disheartened remnant was taken from the fort, and placed on the north side of the island, to recover mid preserve their health. Meantime a supply of black troops was brought from Trinidad, to do duty at the fort in place of the others, who finding our strength so weak, and the inhabitants apparently so thoughtless and unguarded, made the horrid attempt to set fire to the town I have just mentioned. But thanks to the Father of all mercies, who so wonder fully has preserved us from these deadly machina tions ! In a fcw minutes longer the fury of the flames must have been unconquerable, and the whole town consumed. It is said that the town in flames was to have been the signal for the negroes in the difkrent estates to rise and murder their white mas ters, by which means an easy victory would be gained, and assistance to the town rendered impos bible. Some circumstances within my own obser vation gave this report a foundation, yet I hope it is not true. Immediate and vigorous measures were taken, martial law proclaimed, and every man fit for duty kept under arms day and night. We arc all looking tbr the Governor, who has the command of the Leeward station, in room of Lord Comber j mere ; he is expected with a reinforcement of white troops momently. No man feels more anxiety for his return than I do, for I am sick of all this bustle and parade of war. The night duty is fearful, but habit has inured me against much more than I could have believed. I keep my health tolerably, only fatigued from want of sleep. I am now on duty, and have but few moments to spare you. My wish is to relieve you of all anxiety. I think mat will speedily be put to rights. " SEPT. 6.—We have just saluted the Governor, who has brought a detachment of the 21st along with him. livery heart is lightened, for Sir Fre derick is a noble soldier, and ca.ries in his character and presence the strength and confidence of an army. There will soon be an end to all our military hard ships. Nothing further has transpired since yester day ; all is quiet and orderly, except now and then a little squabbling among; themselves, from the want of experience and practice in the etiquette of disci. pline. One of the horses of our troop has just been stabbed by a sentinel °four own party, apparently from personal pique or jealousy. " I am too much jaded with sitting on horseback, to have the inclination for scribbling; all I have to say, I must delay until another opportunity TeSellts."

The country ship Geor,giana, Worthingron. left Tangier, th: the Isle of France and Liverpool, the 4:1 of August. The Dutch expedition against Palembang. left Batavia ou the list July, consisting of one 74 ram, one 60 gun ship, three frigates, nine ship.sloops, about lou gun-vessels, and a large proportion of flat-boats, to disem bark troops—a number of British, and other vessels, had been taken up to transport troops, stores, &c. The Dutch, hating been twice before defeated, doubts were entertained at Batavia of their success, particnlarly as it was well-known the Rajah of Palembang was well prepared to receive them. .The Dutch from want of energy or a sufficient force, had ailowsd the pirates to go so lung unehastised, that their ships anti settlements, va well a. Alps of other nations, were will:ring mil indignity. — TI a Malays were now so daring, that they fitted out single prows of laree dimensions to attack European ships; tOnnerly they never ttiought of attacking unless a large fleet 01 their own prows were in company. On the Bth of June the Dutch ship Ssaisrang, Capt. Jagers, was attacked on the north side ofJata, to the east of Semarang, by a pirate prow ; the successive auricle lasted four hours, during which the Samar ang lost her Coon and one seaman killed, the chief mate and tell ..eamen wouneet.: however, as night came on, the pirate was obliged to lay-to to ropa:r damages, but with every intention of re-attacking nt tl c morning, when fortunately two sail appearing in sight, t e pirate nratle off. The SuMilltillg . ll crew consisted of the Captor, Mr. John Cranstien, a passenger, anti 31 Malay seaittei , who behaved extremely well. The San:at-dug Mounts biz Iv - pounders, besides :,witvels and small arms. A repot was o prev• lent at Batavia. that a British sloop of war had bet n twice at tacked in the Straits of Salida, by a fleet of the Malays' target rows, and had lost 49 men in killed and wounded, but lied gal lantly beat off' the prates. Our intiirmititt could nut kern the name of the British sloop. There were four outward-hound East-Indiemen in Tangier Roads, when the Ilemeul The pockets of a great number of persons were picked during the progress of the Lord Mayor's prqcession, on Thursday, and during the lire in Drury-lane. The gangs of pickpockets arc more numerous than ever was remembered. They asson ble in gangs, consisting generally of three and five,. and arc :wen at all hours in the principal streets t it London and Westminster, and though known, are soared to yeranibulate the public highway with impunity, and to threaten those who notice them in the tau.,t audacious manner imaginable. In the . ticighbourliood of Drury-lane tht re is it gang o f young thieves, consisting of front fifteen to twenty, who are the ilrcild and annoyance of the inhabitants. They are pickpockets in the day time, and assist bousebreulets at night.
