Justice lias at length overtalten two of tlie.-most
dangerous of tliis‘cl_ass of olfentlers, David Fow-
ler, the l1€fltl_ of 'tl_ie gang, and _Selali Coley, a da-
ring .pai'ti2::i:i,_.._ar_t‘tl .occasioiially travelling agent
for Fowler. Fowler resided at No. 198 Bowery,
in this city, t‘vh‘ere his fanii:y yet is, and for eight
years last pas t,lias conducted the business of pass-
ing counteifeit money, in as deliberate and sys-
tematic a style as any man of business ever con-
ducted a cloth or other manufactory. He went
2 or 3 times a year to Dunham, in Canada, at
wliicli place is the cotinterfeit paper manufactory,
‘togr.thcr with two engravers, and several signers
of the notes, who live in huts in the woods, a
style very little better than sava;:,e.s._ At” every
Vtiiip he brought home large qnantnies 01 holes:
‘geiicrally on the banks of this city and ‘state,
iiiade‘-.ip into little hzird packages, about three
inches thick. in the Bowery have also resided,
‘for several ycars,two families,every one of whom,
"the fzitliers, wivcs,’sons, and daugliters-in-lavv,
liai.'e i'.illc‘.‘.‘ctl the same business. The two old
men occasionally went to the Dunham manufac-
tory, and purchased stock, (notes) on their own
account; but more generally acted as wholesale
agents, in this city, for Fowler. To those two
old villains. 'l“ois.lc.r, on his return, exhibited his
samples; the excellence or defects of_which were
criticised in a grave, sober, l)'oSll'lt;S5:lll{C manner.
They _r_;enerally purchased from him the whole

the couiiterfeits, and the probability oftlielcngth
of time tliey would run before 'cried‘dotvn.
\"v’e must now take it glance at the operations
of his agents. These wretclies, grown grey in
infamy, and who are well acquainted with all the
forms and difficulties of the law, as respects their
crime, and the facts essential to_ their conviction,
take care to run as little p'ei‘;soii'iil l"l;tZZll'd as possi-
ble. Tli-cy deal out the notes in small amounts
to numerous agents, whose business it is to pass
them direct on the citizeiis; for this they receive

idle, loose feiniilbs, (tirit those re'n'dei‘ed noted by
common pi-usiiiiitic-n,) and idle, indigeitt men;
the former are tricked out in decent, "and fre-
quently in ftisliioiiable apparel, and pass elf the

convicted in the state of New-Jersey, and sent to

l’o-.vler, the chief villain‘, was taken last July, at
Mitldlt~bury, in the state of Vermont, on his jour-
ney from his manufactory in Canada, to this city,
having with him a small parcel, between‘ six and
seven tliousantl. dollars in cotintcrfeits, of the fol-
lowing description : N. Y. Mechatiic, S3; Fl. Y.
(innit-:. E32; and .»'iiibt'irn, $5. The Mecliaiiic
and Auburn, are adi:=§ii"ab'ly executed. He was
convicted and sent to the state prison for 13 y(:Zil'S,
and, it is to be hoped, for the interest of the peo-
ple oftlio United States, that the goveriiors of
those states ‘ mziy never be induced" to pardon
them.

FOREIGN NEVVS.
_ By the ship Trident, arrived at New-York,
Londoii papers to the 5th of July, and Liverpool
to the 7th, are received. These‘-papers do not
contain any thing of interest to the American
r'ea':lcr, except the proceedings and occurrences in
relation to the Queen, which Elaily increase in im-
portance and interest. The Secret Committee
-of the House of Lords, to whom was referred the
contents of the green bags, have reported, which
was followed by a bill against the Queen--tlius
ending, at once, all hopes of a compromise. The
whole life,,.cliai-acter and conduct of her Majesty
will now undergo the severest scrutiny. But if
the Queen is allowed time to collect her witness-
es in her defence, it will be some itioiiths before
we shall have the result.
Atlditesses from different parts of the country
continue to be presented to the Queen, to which
she replies verbally, and talks much of the malig-
iiity and bitterness of her pers'eciito'i's.
A meeting was to be held in 'Wc5tmiry!ter, for
the purpose of voting an atldressof congratulation
to the Queen. Popular meetings, at that place,
are generally troublesome; and we may expect
to hear ofmoive broken windows and brcken heads.
Public sentiment is evidently on the side of the
Queen; on the presenting of all addresses, the
deputations are attended by immehse numbers
of carriages, and by countless thousands on horse-
back and on foot.
A placard was posted up in various parts of-
London, July 3d, headed with tl'l€5c.ll0I‘l‘lfiC, words
in large lctters—‘.Proj2o.i-als to murder t/ie Queen .”
Vast multitudes of people collected; and their
attention was called to the paragraph quoted by
Lord Nugent, in the House of Commons, from a
certain morning paper, in which it was broadly
stated, ‘ that as the Queen alone stands in the way
ofarrangement, she ought to yield to the univer-
sal good,’ no matter ‘ whether as a martyr or a
ciirnirial 1' The object of this paragraph, it was
asserted, was to recommend the putting her ‘Ma-
jesty out ofthe way, whether innocent or guilty ;
and something very inflammatory was added a-
bout detestable employers and secret service moti-
ey. These papers, which excited so much at-
tention and abhorrence, were pulled down by the
city officers. _ _
l’Aiti.i.ti~ii~;i,"r.--—ln the House of Commons, on
the 3d of July, Lord Castlereagh brought forward
the King’s message, relative to provision being
made for the branches of the Royal family, and
having stated some peculiarities in the situation
of séveriil oftlie princes, concluded with mating
for a sum, not exceeding I4,0UOl. for the use of
his royal liighness the Duke of York.
Lord A. llamilton expressed his surprise that
the noble lord liad wholly omitted to mention any
provisio'n for the Queen. At present, he believ-
ed tliat her majesty had no legal income whatso-
ever; \=‘i’li'at she rniglit receive fiom his majes-
ty’s ministers, waspillegally granted ; and it ' was
the more necessary that ha proper sum should be
voted for her service, since,’ if the’ procesoiiigs
now in progress, went on,‘ she would have occa-
sion fora much larger coi‘nt':i".i:'i'd of pecuniary re.
sources than she pos‘sess'ed at present.
‘Lord Castlereagh said that p'._‘ovi_sioii had been
made to meet any particular c:.'pén':se, which the
Queen might incur in conscqtience of the pend-
ing inquiry, and that every means would be af-
forded to her for the defence of her character.
Mr. Dennian observed, that there was a subject
nearer to her Majt.-sty’s heart than that of ex-
pense : it was the dread lest the iiitei'fei'en’ce of
foreign powers, particularly Austria, which had
been exceetlingly activein her persecution,should
prevent her from having the benefit of those wit-
nesses who were necessary to her exculpation.
She called for a fair opportunity to sustain her
character, and with that view, she demanded that
all tlifliculties and obstacles should be removed.
' The votes to the Duke of York and the several
h'ranclies of the Royal lltmily were then agreed
LO.
' lie Clianci-lloi'oftlie Exchequer then moved
,that the House take into consideration a further
"upply to his Majesty. Among the various grants
moved by the Chaticellomvas the sum of 100,000].
for the expcnces of the coronation.
Mr. (‘Iiwevey said he was of opinion, that under
tlte present circumstances of the country, no cor-
oiiatirin ought to take place-Lhe would not consent
to the grant of a single farthing. The other
House had proceeded so far in lhc: investigation
of the contents of the green bag, as to render it
probable that a bill would be immediately intro-
ced to expose her Majesty to the utmost disgrace
and infamy. The House of Commons had felli-
scd to enter with like speed into a similat‘ investi-
gation ; and yet Ministers had dared to come
down to them, and to ask for a large sum of money
to be expended in a grand gala, a great national
jubilee’, whilst the Queen ofthe country was labor-'
tog under the most grievous accusations. ‘ ‘
Dr. Lushington nbierved, that the di‘stres's was
every where so real and so great, that he would
not consent to vote away a single shilling of the
public money for any purpose that was not abso-
lilitely and intlispensably necessary. _ The table
was covered with petitions froin all the greai ag-
i'icultn'raldisti'icis, and the manuf ,1-ing towns.
Glasgow was in ruins, Leeds in dis’ s, Birming-
liam scarcely able to support hersel . To relieve
the disti'ess of Ii'eland,’.5C0,0C'Ol. had a few nights
past been‘ voted; and with this picture before them
was the noble lord to tell them, that l00,0‘O0l. for
a coronation was a‘ small sum ? VVhat would the
starving iiidivi‘di'ial‘s of Leeds, of Birm‘in‘gh'am, of
Glasgow,a‘nd of Nlancliester and its neighborhood
‘say, when they heard of 100,000]. being spent in
one day in London in pomp and page-antry 2’
Some desultory conv_ersati'on took place, in the
"course of which Mr. Tierney regretted to hear
that it was determined that the coi'ona'tion should
take place upon the 1st of Afugust. He would
ask whether this was a moment for a‘ coronation‘,

THE QUEEN. ‘
- House OF Loans, July 4. _
Lord Harrewby presented the report oftlie se-
cret committee, which was‘r;'ead accordingly.
REPORT of the Secret Committee of the
§‘louse_of.L(_)!'tls, appointed to examine certain pa-
pers lalil before them on the 6th of June, by his‘
Majcsty’s ‘command, and to report thereon; to
which was also referred certain additional papers,
relative to t c same subject, communicated in
his Maj't=.sty’s most gracious message.
Onni«:itisi)-—That the committee have examin-
ed, with all the attention due to so important a
subject, the various documents laid before them,
and they fihd that those documents contain allega-
tions, su_pp”ortetl by the concurrent testimony of
persons in various situations in life, residing in va-
rious parts of Europe," deeply effecting the honor
oftlic Queen, and charging her majesty with an
'c_td_ultcrous iiitercourse with a foreigner in her ina-
jesty’s service, and attributing to her majesty a
contthuetl series of conduct highly unbecoming
her majesty’s situation and character, and of the
most licentious description. The committee have
so deeply felt that the character and honor of the
C"0“’”: as well as the moral feelings of the coun-
try are iiirolved, that they are of opinion, that it
is indispensable, this matter should become the
‘subject ofa solemn inquiry, the necessity of which
they. most deeply deplore.’ _ -
_ lS_arl Gray said he must repeat his former ob-
jection against the injustice oftlie mode of bring—
mg the charge against the illustrious person im-
plicated. The evidence had been long ktiown to
his Majesty’s Ministers, and why had they not
bro_ti_glit _forward the charge on their own t;e5j)on-
sibility, instead of doing it by a secret committee?
And ‘what was the subject of the report? That
her inajesty stood charged of adultery with a me-
nial servant, and that it was of long standing. If
fl “_’€l’€ 50: it was a case that made all comprom-
ise i_mp'o‘ssible, for in fact an attempt to com p rum-
156‘ would be the greatest indignity that could he
0fiCI‘C_il to_ the, crown. Their lordslilps would
bear in mind, that although this was the Report
of the secret committee, that that committee con-
sisted of a great part of his Z‘vlajesty’s ministers,
who had slept for a year, having such evidence he-
l.0I“= them ; and even now that the committee had
made their report, they would have to suspend
their opinion of the guilt or innocence of the
Queen‘ tor three months longer, and that in the
present agitated state of the cot1ntry,; for they
must infoiin her Majesty of the charges against
her, and of the evidence they have Ito‘ support
the-m, otlieiwise her majesty could not enter into
her defence.
Lord ll-a’ri'owby justified the course purstied
by his Majesty’s Ministers; and said if any injus-
tice had been done to the Queen, the House was
at least. an accomplice in such injustice. As to
his Majesty’s Ministers being in possession of the
evidence, and not instituting some measure, he
,could not blame‘ them, as a charge could not be
made against the Queen Consort, without it was
such an one as would be considered the highest
crmic against the state.
Earl Gray said, that iftlie charges were of the
description as reported, the Ministers ought not to
have paused a moment in grounding some specific
measure on them ; but knowing what the charges
were, they ought not to‘ have offered 50,0001.
per aiinum to have kept her out of the country.
- Lord llarrotvby,in reply,sai"d that if her Majes-
ty bad been allowed to remain on the Continent
in quiet, without coming to this country to dis-
tu'rb' its peace, the sum offered could f10tf)C con-
sidered as a sacrifice for so desirable an object.
Lord’ Ca'rr:ai'voii spoke against the i‘c_pm‘t;
the Committee had not the whole evidence before
them‘, and they had driven Parli'an'ient into the
9\OSt‘a’\Vful and painful inquiry that ever ca'me be-
ior_e them, and against which the whole country
set their face. \Vas there no blame, said he, to
attacli to her Majesty’s acctisors, for having her
name left out of the Liturgy, which put an end to
all accorninotlation ?
mony of the coronation was carrying on. while
this inquiry waspending? and was it not holding
out to the world that her Pvfajesty would not have
a fair trial, by treating her as guilty before she
was tried .7 He expressed his astonislinient at
the intention of Mi'ni‘sters to shorten the duration
of Parliament, while mallet" of such deep interest
and so full of danger -was pending, in order to cel-
ebratc a coronation. He called upon Ministers
to postpone that solemn rite.-
ljarl Gray again insisted, that if the charge a-
gainst the Queen could be proved, it was one that
admitted of no compromise ; and under these cir-
cumstances, he thought it strange his Majesty’s
Ministers should enter into a negociation for a
compromise, and offer 50,0001. per annum, to be
taken out of the pockets of the people, for the
purpose of enabling her majesty to live in this
adhlterous life. ’ ‘ .
The Eail of Li_verpool, on the contrary, con-
tended, tli ithatl the Queen remained out of the
cot'1ntry, the evils which presented themselves,
would have been avoided.
Lord Holland declared that he could not see
the distinction between lierMajesty’s being abroad
or in this country, with respect to the propriety
ofinquiry; ‘ He‘ knew not how their Lordships
could reconcile to their minds the extravagant of-
fer of 50,000]. to her Majesty before her ‘arrival
in Eiiglaiid. With respect to theicoronation, it
would be decent and proper that the pageantry
'.l“h‘e house adjourned‘.
, July 5.
Lord Dzcre brought forward the following pe-
tition from the Queen: ‘
To the House of Lords, t/is fzetition qf Caroline
Regi7za—- '
The Queen observing the most extraordinary
.report made in the House of Lorde by thesecret
committee, and now lying on the table, repre-
sents to the House, that she is prepared, at this
moment, to defend" herself against it, as far as she
can understand’ its import. The Queen also
states, that there are various‘ matters touching
the same, which it is absolutely necessary, with
postponed.
\Vas it wise that the cet'e- _
and rejoicing of such a celebration should be_
_ itlierefore, pr'ti'ys that she may be heard by l.‘ei'i
" f>f.{lle_ oronation beyond the lstfof» COI‘il)_S€l tc_uching"sucli matters. ‘
On the ‘question that the petition be brought
-up, Lord Liverpool stated that after he had ob-
’ taincd leave to bring in the bill, be shotild move
that a copy be presented to -the Queen, and then
the petition might be regularly taken into consid-
eration. The petition was strongly supported
by Lord Grey and other noblemen, on the side
of the opposition, but the motion of Lord_ Dacre,
that counsel be lieard, nas negatived without a
division. ' _
The Earl of Liverpool then rose to bring in the
bill, the preamble of which would, he said. speak
for itself, and the allegations of which would [30

ceeding fairly open to Parliament. After stating
