In our number of the preceding month, the wilful misstatements, touching the passing occurrences at the Pavilion, which had appeared in the Morning Chronicle, we considered it as a duty incumbent in us to expose, and we did so. In that exposition, we made use of some judicious and well written remarks which had previously appeared in the Courier, upon the same subject; and since, it gives us much satisfaction to add, as the Morning Chronicle again has been at its dirty work, the honest indignation of another ably conducted news print, The John Bull, has been correctly roused, to give additional publicity to the deep rooted design which apparently exists in the quarter named, to misrepresent every occurrence, whether in country or in town, with which our truly gracious and most deservedly beloved Sovereign may seem to have been either directly, or indirectly

connected.

The merited castigation bestowed by The John Bull, will be best comprehended in its own words; we, therefore, offer them to our readers, as they appeared in that paper, on the 27th ultimo.

"The King, we rejoice to announce, is rapidly recovering from his indisposition. His Majesty's attack of gout was brought on by standing so many hours as he did at the levee. We are inclined to think, that the CHRONICLE newspaper experienced more sorrow at this particular circumstance, than it is usually in the habit of receiving upon similar occasions, for that erudite and well-informed journal published to the world, on Wednesday, the FACT, that more than sixteen hundred persons were presented to His Majesty at the levee, on Monday, and although he CONTINUED SEATED during the whole of the tedious and lengthy ceremony,' &c.

"That the CHRONICLE should write letters to itself, and date them from Paris, does not surprise us-that it should furnish the town with accounts of insurrections and glorious revolutions all over the world, we are not at all astonished at-thousands of persons never take the trouble to enquire into the reality of the statements it makes, and its falshoods and fabrications pass for truths. But surely some probable estimate may be made of its veracity and the correctness of its information, when we perceive that it gravely announces, for two following days, that the King remained seated during the whole of the tedious and lengthy ceremony of Monday.

"That His Majesty, with a feeling of the most delicate consideration for others, regardless of himself, declined receiving the visiters of the levee seated, and that His Majesty stood during the whole of the tedious and lengthy ceremony of Monday, is not only the truth, but the real cause of the attack which prevented the drawing-room on Wednesday. And we must say, that when the conductors of a paper are sufficiently impudent and foolish to publish twice consecutively, a statement, to the falshood of which, upwards of two thousand living witnesses can bear testimony, we feel quite justified in doubting the multifarious statements and reports which are disseminated through its vulgar and mischievous columns, upon the bare assertion of anonymous correspondents, or the mere ipse-dixit of an "unwashed" editor.

"On Thursday, with the same accuracy and good intention which characterizes its statements of the preceding day, it observes- We have heard that the seat of the disorder (the gout) is removed to another place, from whence it may not so easily be expelled.'

"No man can be so dull as not instantly to perceive that the illiberal news-writer wished it to be inferred, that the disorder had taken possesssion of some vital part with what motive

with what view we ask could this additional falshood have been promulgated?

'Men always believe what they wish to be true!'

But the Chronicle man could not believe the story he told because he could not have heard it. Heard it !-mercy on us— where could a man hear any thing about the private affairs of a Court-who does not know whether His Majesty stood or sat during a public levee in the open Palace ?

"If, therefore, the Chronicle did not hear such a report, his statement is pure invention! if he did—his information upon the subject was just as bad as it is upon all others; especially upon that, with which, in the ardour of its zeal for calumny and misrepresentation, he concludes the paragraph in which the former statement is contained.

"We admit, that the eaves droppers' and pickers up of the Chronicle may, during the stay of the Court at Brighton, occasionally collect something like a fact or two; but as there is no Steyne in London-no place to which careless vanity can resort, to talk itself into importance (at least within the hearing of the retainers of the Whig journal), the case is different when His Majesty is in town; and all those interesting and mysterious communications of the conduct and movements of royalty which emanate from that paper, are equally authentic and equally true with those which we have taken the trouble to notice and expose."

The latter paragraph of the above well-timed exposition, dictated by the offended loyal feelings of the patriotic Englishman, from our local residence, and habitudes, and consequent knowledge of the multifarious incidents passing around us at all times, as well as the consequences they do, and may give rise to, requires a few remarks from us; not because the "eaves droppers and pickers up" of a disaffected Whig employer, may chance to collect something like "a fact or two," in the way pointed out, but because the prominent evil-made evil by bad intentions, has been rooted differently-has been the produce of another site, and has grown up to exhale its poison upon the nurturing hand which saved it from a dung-hill perhaps, where it might have perished, had its deeply concealed pestiferous qualities been but timely suspected and discovered. The "fact or two" in the past, of recent date, to which allusion is made, obtained not publicity by "careless vanity" endeavouring" to talk it

self into importance," on the Steyne, as suspected-no; they emanated from a different source, and one much more guiltily corrupt and venal-that of infamously violated ties which should have held the servant faithful to his duty, and firm and steady to the interests of his employer, the best of men and masters. It is true, in the absence of positive proof, he has hitherto escaped the disgrace and punishment he deserves-but let him not too confidently calculate upon impunity in the future-for we can assure him, that detection in the past was often so close at his heels, that his escape may be regarded as nearly allied to the marvellous. Nor are his agents unknown to us. The proof needed, without having an eye to future culpabilities, may yet be brought within our reach to dispose of; and, should such a desired event occur, he shall not long remain in suspense as to the honest use we may make of it. The series of letters, &c. in the Morning Chronicle, whether the Court has been in town or country, have been obviously from the same pen-they have been the manufacture of the London office scribe, though purporting to have been received, when the Court has been here, with the addition of the "fact or two," and falshoods out of number, from this place-because it has appeared, pro. tem. as best calculated to answer his slanderous and deceptive purpose. We have, at this time, a Chronicle of Monday, the 28th ult. open before us-we extract the following passage:

"In the levee," still harping upon the old string, "one thing was remarkable, and this was the most gracious and affable manner in which all the diplomatic agents of the Holy Alliance were received, and the studiously repulsive reception given to those of the Peninsula. This was extremely striking to bye-standers," &c.

But not so is it with time present, or we should not have a scribbler foolishly telling us, or endeavouring to persuade us to believe that he is telling us, what actually passed at, or marked a public levee, during the whole progress of which, the most prominent fact of its character, and which all who attended it must

have known, he was totally ignorant of-that of whether his Majesty received the diplomatic agents of the Iloly Alliance, and the assemblage generally, seated, or otherwise!!! But then there were the bye-standers, to whom what was passing was so extremely striking-is he sure that instead of bye-standers, they were not bye-sitters? There needed but such a declaration as the latter to have given a finished top to the absurdity-we are surprized he did not make it; but, to do him justice, he is amply entitled to the “ cap and bells," without it.

In our preceding publication, we adverted to the many letters which we had received "in approval, of our antecedent remarks ;" and, since that period, the number has been largely increased-we shall publish them, as we then promised, as opportunities may occur, because they are in loyal accordance with our own sentiments, and combine, with an unconquerable attachment to the most enlightened and best of Sovereigns, the strongest desire, not only to promote the growing interests of Brighton, but, above all, to appear grateful for, and to render permanent, the good we have, by holding up to public notoriety and condemnation, the dishonourable and wicked attempts of the "lost to truth" minions, whose malign intentions have no object short of involving this town in comparative poverty, and unavailing regrets. The following are the only communications of the many addressed to us, that we can command space for in this instance, viz.

"To the Conductors of the Brighton Gleaner.

"Sirs-I have been a constant reader of your amusing publication, and have derived much satisfaction at the manly and spirited refutation that you have frequently given to the corrupt and slanderous misrepresentations which have appeared in one daily newspaper in particular-but it has somewhat surprized me, that the exercise of a similar disloyal and vituperative spirit, in repeating its slanders, which, at times, has shewn itself, as more involved in our local transactions and interests, you should, even to this period, have permitted to pass unnoticed. Upon the latter subject, if you should deem me a correspondent worth regarding, I may say much, as occasion suits, hereafter. I have been a resident of this place upwards of fifty years; I, therefore, know well what it was, and what has been the cause of its progressive
