Was it, then; noble, seas it generous, was it manly, was it just, in your Majesty's confidential servants, instead of fairly admitting the injustice which had been, inadvertently, and unintentionally, tto doubt, done to me, by the four Noble Lords in their Report, upon the evidence of these witnesses, to state to your Majesty, that they agree with these Noble Lords In their opinion, though, Obey cannot, it seems, go the length of agreeing any longer to withhold the advice which restores me to your Majesty's pre *nee ? And with respect to the particulars to my prejudice, re marked upon in the Report as those " which justly deserve the most serious consideration, and which must be credited till deci lively contradicted," instead of fairly avowing, either that there Was originally no pretence for such a remark, or that, if there tae been originally, yet that my answer had given that debisive contradiction winch was sufficient to discredit them—instead, I hay, of acting this just, honest, and open part, to take no notice Whatever of those cnntradictions, and Content themselves with baying, that "none of the facts or allegations stet& in prelimi- P► nary examinations, carried on in the absence of the parties 1 interested, could be considered as legally or lresdiaiVity este- Wished r They agree in the opinion that the facts or allegations, though Rated in preliminary examination, carried on in the absence of the parties interested, mat endited tad derisively contretelicte4 Jab. tome the most serious cmideratien.

That those opinions are, utterly untenable, against the observations I have made, Upon the credit art character of those witnesses, I shall ever most confidently maintain, but that those observations !save Orr credit wholly unaffected, and did not deserve the least *mike from your Majesty's servants It is impossible that any honourable man can assert, or any fair and unprejudiced mind beikve. now proceed, Sire, to obseite, very shortly, upon the advice farther givea to your Majesty as contained in the remaining part of the papers which has represented that, bath in the examina tions and even in my answer, there have appeared man circuits btaneet of conduct which could not be regarded bet with serious concern, and whichlaire suggested the expression of a desire and expectation, that such a conduct may in-future be observed by toe, as may fully justify those marks of paternal regard and affectibm which your Majesty wishes to shew to all your Royal "avidly. And bete, Slre, your Majesty will graciously permit me to ' notice the hardship of the advice; whith has suggetted to your Majesty to Convey to me this repttof. I complain not so much fof what it does, as for what it does not contain ; I mean the ab- Fence of all particular mention of what it it that is the object of then. blame. The circumstances bf conduct Which appear in these examinations, and its my answer to which they allude as those which may be supposed to justify the advice which has led to this reproof, since your Majesty's servants have not paiticularly' mentioned them, I cannot be certain that I know. Bnt I will vectuiii confidently to repeat the assertion, Which I have al. teedy made, that there are uo circumstances of conduct spoken to by any witness (whose infamy and discredit are not unan swerably exposed and established), nor any where apparent In my answer, which have the remotest approach either to crime as to indelicacy: For my future conduct, Sires impressed With every sense of gratitude for all former kindness, I shill be bound unquestionably, by sentiment as well as duty, to !Wily your Majesty's pleasure. Any advice which your Majt sty May wish to give to me in re• spect of any particular:4 in my conduct, I shall he bound, and he niiious to obey as tny law. But I must trust that your Majesty twill point out to me the partiettlars which may happen to dis please you, and which you may wish to have altered. I Shall be as happy,in thus feeling myself sate from blame under the benefit Of your Majesty's advice, is I am now, in finding myself secured from danger, under the protection of your justices. Your Majesty will permit me to add one word more. Your Majesty has seen what detriment my character has, for a time, sustained, by the false and malicious statement of Lady Douglas, and by the depositions of the Witnesses who were exa mined in support of her statement. Your Majesty has seen how many enemies I have, and how little their malice has been re. strained by any regard to truth in the pursuit of my ruin. Few, as it may be hoped, may be the instances of such determined and unprovoked malignity yet, I cannot flatter myself, that the world does not produce other persons, who may be swayed by Similar motives to similar wickedness. Whether the statement to be prepared by the Prince of Wales, is to be confined to the old charges, or is intended to bring forward'new circumstances, I cannot tell ; but if any fresh attempts of the same nature shall be made by my accusers; instructed, as they will have been, by their miscarriage in this instance, I can hardly hope that they Veit' net rent* their charge, with an improved artifice, more skilfully directed, and with a malice, inflamed rather than aba ted, by their previous disappointment. I therefore can only appeal to your Majesty's . justice, in which I confidently trust, that whether these charges are to be renewed against me either on the old or on fresh evidence; or whether new accusations, as well as new witnesses, are to be brought leeward, your Majesty, after the experience of these proceedings, will not suffer your Royal mind to be prejudiced by ex park so fret examinations, nor my character to be whispered away by iniinuations, or suggestions which I have no opportunity of meet ing. If any charge which the law will recognize, should be brought against me in an open and legal manner, I should have no tight to complain, nor Any apprehension to meet it. But, till I may have a full opportanity of so meeting it, I trust your Majesty will not suffer it to excite even a suspicion to my pre- Indic& ji must claim the benefit of the presumption of Joao gelato, tiff I am proved to be guilty ; for, without that presump tion, against the effects of secret insinuation, mid ex parse exa minations, the purest innocence can snake no defence, and can have no security.

" The Report made by certain Members of his Majesty's Privy Council, was communicated to me by Lord Sldmouth ; and its coutents appeared to those, upon whose advice I rely, to be such as to require on my part a public assertion of my innocence, and a demand of investigation. It cannot be unknown to your Royal Highness, that I addressed a letter to the Lord Chancellor, and a duplicate of that letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons, for the purpose of its being communicated to the twe Houies of Parliament. " The Lord Chancellor twice returned my letter, and did not communicate its contehis to the House of Lords. - " The Speaker or the House of Commons thotight it his duty t 6 announce the receipt of my letter, and it was read from the chair. To my inexpressible gratification, I have been infornied, that although n? proceeding *as instituted according to my re quest, certain discussions, which took place in that Honourable House, have resulted In the complete and unequivocal, and uni versal acknowledgment of my entire inuocente to the satisfaction of the world. " Allow me, Sir, to say to your Royal Highness, that I address you novr relieved from a load of distress which has prated upon me for many years. " I Was always conscious that I was free from reproach.

The Letter to the Ktxo, from her Royal Highness the Princeu of WALES, (given in our columns this day,) was drawn up by the late Mr. PIRCEVAL. It is highly creditable to his memory, and will be read With interest and sympathy by all who are not lost to every serltiment of propriety, of honourable feeling, and impartial justice. Read it, ye hypocrites, who have affected to sympathize with the Panaceas in her destitute condition, lamenting that she has not now such Advisers as Mr. PERCEVAL!" If she had, she would not now have been crouching, an afflicted sup pliant, for an interview with her own child ! The gratifying intelligence which we communi cated in our Second Edition of yesterday, was brought to Government by a cutter dispatched by the Governor of Heligoland. Not only are Berlin, Warsaw, Dresden and Hamblirgh, freed from the yoke of the French, but what is of Much More im portance to the general interests of Europe, the pos session of these places has been given up to the regu lar constituted Authorities of the country. General D'Yonat, the Prussian patriot, commands at Berlin. The Polish National Guards are permitted to retain possession of Warsaw, and the old regime has been restored at Hamburgh. From the latter place, in deed, there have been already numerous arrivals at Heligoland; with the view°, commencing a trade; in the mean time the French inhabitants haie secured as Much property as they cbuld on board of flat bottomed boats, and sailed down the Elbe. The military under LatitusToN and ST.Cyn have marched for Magdeburgh, where it is supposed they will make a final stand, in conjunction with the small French army no* there, commanded, we . believe, by Au- GEREAtIo The reports brought from Hamburgh to Heligo land are all of a most pleasing description ; but they are, perhaps, liable to the charge of exaggeration.— Of this description, perhaps, is the rumour of the Emperor of AusTtun having demanded that the French shall withdraw their army within the Rhine, as a preliminary to negociation.

An order was yesterday sent to the Custom.hoUse, allowing all vessels to clear nut for the Prussian ports, mid directing, that no hindiance shall be given to vessels coming from thence. Yesterday we announced the reeparation of a large fleet of transports for the North of Europe. These transports, we understand, are to assemble at Yar mouth, whence they will sail for the Baltic. It is reported that they are destined to convey the Swedish force, under the command of BgEtNADOTTE I to Po merania. French Papers have been received, but their con tents are of little importance. The following are extracts: " BERLIN, MARCH t. 11 His Majesty has just been pleased, of his own accord, to name Chevaliers of the order of St. John, the Saxon Lieutenant-General de Zeschan, and Count Schulenbourg, Chamberlain to his Majesty the King of Saxony.'; " PARIS, MARCH IS.
