The vessel being ornamented with the Na tional, Admiralty, and Navy Board colours, and everything prepared to give due effect to the l ight, at a quarter before one L Correial. christened this fine and beautifully ornamented', vessel, with—" May Success and Prosperity crown the Prince Regent," and she glided into her native element, amidst reiterated loud and hearty huzzas.

LETTER TO 7 1 118 lOM rya EARL OF 411ANHOPE. MY LORD—To be countenanced by y.ur Lordship on any occasion I consider a greAt honour, and am highly gratified by the manly and humane sentiments ex pressed in your last communication; these, together with the favourable reception you were pleased to be stow on several opinions of mine, that have been some time before the Public, induce me more reaxiily to obey yonr Lordship's suggestion, in submitting to you some observations relating to the present state of the British Em pit e, which are briefly as follows : FARAIRRS.—Many are, and others will be, ruined by Poor Rates. NIERCHANTS.—The manufacturer has become a merchant, to get rid of his over-stock, and will at all times sell an overstock at a loss; consequently the regular metchants losses are certain, since to meet the market the prices must be reduced from 20 to 30, or perhaps .50 per cent. and his tisk of being paid for his articles, even at the reduced prices, is greatly increased. TIIE WHOLESALE' TRADER OF CAPITAL-Will be compelled to decline business by the losses he must sustain in giving credit, as well as from the value of his stock being repeatedly reduced. WHOLESALE DEALERS OF SMALL CAPlTAL—Expe rience more losses, in proportion, by trusting men of less capital, than the large wholesale dealers do; and as they are frequently obliged m sell, in order to raise money, great sacrifices must be made to sell an over-stock in a declining market; in consequence; they must shortly recur for assistanceias indeed many of them do now) to the parish, to which, a few years ago, they cheerfully paid their rates. It LTA IL DEALERS.—In consequence of want of de mand. together with the low prices, their retprns are become very small ; many of the articles in which they deal being sold by hawkers, who are employed by the manuftettner to dispose of his over-stock, so that the goods go directly from the manufacture: into the hands of the consumer, through the single' agency of a hawker; and the whole of the interme diate pal ties, such as warenousemen, agents, whole. sale dealers of large capital, wholesale dealers of small car ital, and retail dealers, are thus left to live .eith their families on their ptopertY, or recur to the arish for supp(lt. HAWK ERS—Are a: present just able to exist, by sehing the over-stocks of the manufacturer left from the market, to the injury of all parties concerned ; and when the public and consumers are supplied in this way, how are the intermediate classes of whole sale and retail dealers to pay the expenses of their establishments ? LARGE MANUFACTURERS, WHO ARE MEN OF CA PITA L—Wiil accordingly decline business, or remove to another country, since in this they cannot carry it on to advantage, and of course, will not, when it is evident that they must lose by so doing. SMALL MANUFACTURERS OF LITTLE OR NO CAPI TAL—MUSt non part with their goods at whatever price they can get, to factors and jobbers, who are compelled to take every advantage, in order to pro- 1 tect themselves, owing to the rapid fall goods are daily experiencing, in consequence of the introduc tion of mechanical power, among which screws and dies are particularly destructive in the iron trade. WORKMEN OF MA N UFACTUR ERS.—Workhouses are now full of these ; and a system of receiving a part of their wages from the masters, and a part from the parish, is increasing to an alarming extent. This sys tem is so degrading to the minds of these who are thus paid, that it accelerates the ruin of an immense proportion of the community. FA tot E Rs' Lanouazas—Receive their wages in the same way, and indeed to a greater extent than those of the preceding class. Instead of living in the far mer's house, as formerly, being his servants at all hours, priding themselves on the good order And clean appearance of their own persons, and of their master's cattle under their care, and, having their living provided for them, being enabled to save a part of their wages, as a provision for old age, or against the time they married and bad a family, hey are now engaged on specific wages and hours of ser vice, and care very little about their master's interest, or the condition of his cattle under their care.— When cases of necessity for their attendance happen out of the regular hours, they are seldom to be found ; and, being driven to resort to the ale-hbuse for their food, they there spend every farthing of their earnings, rail at their masters as tyrants, and acquire habits of profligacy and discontent; while the more orderly-of them, to obtain some degree of comfort, and to have a home to which they can retire, at the close of the day's labour, are impelled to early and improvident marriage, and rely on the parish to support their families. LAND-OWNERS AND STOCK-OWNERS-4.-Will be left to pay the taxes and feed the people. 'these miseries, as well as many others, are ocea sioned by various causes, the last of which, I fear, admits of no kgislative remedy—l mean the employ ment of machinery—though the facts are unques tionable, that the machinery at present in the United Kingdom is capable of manufacturing from ten to fifteen times the quantity of goods required: and many of the mechanical powers are so portable, that they may easily be taken to another cbuntry, where free men or paupers may work them. Formerly it required men of ingenuity to make a key, as well as many other articles which the Eng lish were famed for manufacturing; and this inge nuity was obtained by men who had served seven years apprenticeship to learn the art. As long as England went on this way, and manufacturing su perior articles, she had the trade; but now the art can be carried in the waistcoat pocket, in the shape of a die or screw, and the people of any country can ma nufacture for themselves. But the British people must be fed; and this ought certainly to be attempted by the most natural means, the cultivation of the soil, ss hich will produce both health and happiness, instead of the misery and want, now so prevalent through the whole kingdom. The. cry of distress has for some time been so loud, and the words relief oithe poor," so much used, that this is almost become a fashion able topic of conversation; but then the fashion is to call for some specific plan ; and no sooner is any plan proposed, than sophistry is at work to overturn it.— The fact, iron ever, is, that proper plans are well known, did not their simplicity render them doubtful to some, and contemptible to many. But the srui and. general principle for- the real relief of the poor is confined to no particular system, it embraces no com plicated machinery, which can be applied only in particular situations or circumstances. The broad outline of the plan, in all its shapes, is liberty, en couragement, and assistance to manufacturhyg, to the greatest advantage, the raw materials furnished by nature, whether found upon or below the surface of the soil, or in the waters, and is attainable by every one who has a rood of laud at his disposal, whatever I may be the situation. This is abundantly evident to all thtistf - Svhose avo cations or localities have given them occasion to re flect on the, subject. The great advantage, perhaps the only one, of any specific plan, would therefore be, to fora information on those who have never had any . idea of the matter, on account of their being en gaged in other pursuits. But where the facts are made plain, the ultimate effect of any specific plan whatever, would, in my opinion, be to produce bene volence and liberality, so as to enable the poor man to be the cultivator of little patches of land, and the consumer of their produce, without being a burden to the parish on the one hand, or inhaling the more opulent and extensive agriculturists on the other, by reducing the fair market' price of his grain ; for as it is estravagant to assert that the poor man, because he may be a customer, can raise the price of grain in the market without a farthing in his pocket, it is equally erroneous to suppose that he should lower the price by consuming the produce of his own field. The difficulties of all the lower classes at present are so well known, that I shall not attempt to har row up your Lordship's feelings by any recital of the real distresses of the poor, or of the appalling horrors that haunt the miads of those, who, till now, have lived, and Could still continue to live, if not in inde pendence, yet with a competency ; but who, in con sequence of the increasing overflow of pauperism, are themselves sinking into the great level of its irre sistible flood, and expect no other relief but that of a workhouse for therhselves and families. In this state of mind, vibrating between hope and despair, the unhappy individual becomes an easy prey to the sedi tious harangues of Deistical designing demagogues, whose language and intentions make the most modest blush, and the timid shudder. While they attempt to blot nut the sacred record, annihilate social order, overturn subordination and good government, they promise to establish in their stead the phantom of equality, and the vision of complete happiness. The same or similar notions, however, have been'so formly promulgated by the seditious and disaffected of all great nations immediately before their fall, and the sparkling bubble having so recently burst in a neighbouring country, it is most devoutly to be hoped that the pious, the loyal, the good, the rfat, the noble, the generous, and illustrious sons of Bri tain, will not calmly contemplate the approach of anarchy and despotism, and choose rather to behold the ruins of their country than resign some private emolument, to reconcile the disaffected, remove dis content, allay animosities, and open a prospect of in creasing happiness and freedom. It is yet in their power, but it may soon be too late, if a contrary course be taken, or even if that which has been a 'means of our aggrandisement be further pursued to the extreme, such as removing cottages, laying waste the vast domains of the hereditary land-owner, aad throwing the people out of employment. Such proceedings exhibit the legible features of a declining nation. As Playfair and other writers tell us, before the Western Empire fell, property was all in the Sands of a few ; the great mass of the people was wretchedly pbor, mutinous, and idle; the land was in possession of men who had acquired large incomes, and to whom cultivation was no object. The reve nues of the State were wasted on the soldiers, on shews to keep the people occupied, and in the pur chase of corn brought to, Rome from a distance.— The load of taxes was so great, that the Roman citi zens envied the barbarians, and thought they could not be worse than they were. The ancient noble f.qnilies still preserved an attachment to their coun try, but they had neither wealth, power, nor autho rity. In this miserable state of things the poor, for the sake of protection, became a sort of partizans or pensioners of the rich, whom they were sEady to serve on all occasions, so that, except in a few forms, there was no trace left of the institutions that had raised the name of Rome, and made the other nations of the world tremble at her nod : • What's Rume to me? What have I to do there? " I, who can neither lie, nor falsely swear !" .Notwithstanding the unavoidable weight of taxa• don, it is yet a trifle compared with the ghastly strides of pauperism, infidelity, and their common effect—sedition. Employment for the people, there fore, is the only sovereign antidote for all these evils; and the culture of the soil is the only employment that can be obtained at the present time. This is, also, the only means of paying the taxes, which may thus be effected with comparative ease, and certainly with content. Many Gentlemen expect too much from Princes and Ministers of State; and, when they find them selves disappointed, are apt to attach blame un- ' justly to men in office, for not doing that which they never had in their power to accomplish. Notwith standing the public clamour against such men, I firmly believe the Ministers *ho have in succession directed the affairs of this country for many years, acted conscientiously, in the way that they believed would be s t accord with the wishes of the people and the general good. But the King and his Ministers cannot do everything, though their approbation, Countenance, and encouragement, in their official and private capacities, from the influence of office and the superior information they are expected to possess, are calculated to be highly advantageous, by inducing others to think and act as they approve; and the cultivation of the waste lands of the country, by cottlge husbandry, could not fail to be advantageous. NThile the cloud that hangs over Mir native land darkens every point of the political hemisphere-- while the sun of British splendour appears to dip and' dwindle into a point below the horizon, the voice of departed years returns in solemn admonition upon us ; when her glory is departed, and her history to be added to the catalogue of mighty empires, which ex hibit the instability of all human grandeur ; of em pires which, after they rose by virtue to be the admi ration of the world, stink by corruption into obscurity, the monuments of whose genius arc all gone, and the trophies of whose victories are no more; if anything but contempt for the boasted Constitution remain, it will be mere display of magnificence in disorder, majestic desolation—" Babylon tpruins r whet; in I tbe midst of broken arches, of fallen columns, pos terity will trace the monuments of her ancient free dom-101;th may HEAVEN long avert, and grant peace within her walls, and prosperity u ithin her Pa laces ; and may the sLamrock, leek, rose, and thistle entwine, to form the Brunswick wreath to the latest posterity. My Lord, I have the honour to he your Lordship's most obedient and humble servant, May 29, 1820. COURT OF CLAIMS. A GRICOLA. The Lords Commissioners appointed by the KING, to hear and determine all claims ?elating to the ser vices of his MaJEsTy's ltoyal Cironation. a,sembled on Saturday morning, in pursualice of their adjourn ment, in the Painted Chamber. The Earl of Errol claimed to perform, by his deputy, the Must Noble the Marquis of Huntley, to walk at his Alnesty's Coronation as High Constable of the Kirgdom of Scotland. Lord Douglas claimed, as the linezl representative of the am. tivnt Dukes of Douglas, to bear before his Majraty, cm the day of the Coronation, the e'rown of Scotland. Agent of the Nob'. Lord, in answer to some questions put to him by the Duke of Clarence, explained, that this service was nut performed at the Coronation of King George I in con.. sequence of the attainder of the Duke of Doughs at that period; of at tke Cotonation of King George 11. because at that period the contested right to the Peerage was not determined. William Henry Whitiaread,• Esq. claitre.l, as proprietor of a certain manor in Bedfordshire, to perlorm the service of high Almoner to the King on the day of the Coronation, and to rt ceive the fees and emoluments incident to the a. rvice.

A Petition was presented on behalf of Mr. Dymocke, of Weds, claiming, as lineal descendant of Philip de Max niyon, to perform the office of Champion at the Coronation. [This claim is in opposition to that which was made at the for mer Court, on behalt of the Rev. Mr. Dymocke, next heir of the late Lewis Dymocke, Esq. and it was new observed by the Commissioners, that the right to the office was appurtenant to :he manor of Scrivelsby, and that the claim preterite(' at the former Court was made by the person actually in possession of the manor.] A Petition was presented on behalf of the Moat Noble the Marquis of Ormond, claiming that the Noble Marquis might be permitted to perform the duty of Chia Butler, on the day of his Majesty's Coronation. The Duke of Northumberland claims to act as Lord Cham berlain. 'l'his claim is also asserted by-the Duke of Norfolk, as Lord of the Manor of Worksop. Lord Abergavenny claims the right of acting as Larderer f which is also claimed by Lord Maynard. Lady Grey de Ruthven, as the descendant of the Baron de Ruthven, put hi the document in support of her 'claim to the right of bearing.(by deputy, she being only ten years of age), a gilt spur in the procession of his Majesty. `The Court now ordered that strangers should de part from below the Bar; after which it remained for upwards of half an hour in consultation, when, upon returning, it was announced that the following claims were agreed to: The Duke of Montrose, as Master of the Horse. The Lord Mayor of L ondon, to serve the King after dinner, with wine, from a gold cup, and other claims. Lord Gwydir, i as Hereditary Chamberlain, to'have a lodging near the King during his Coronation, with hose and shirts. The Batons of the Cinque Ports, to support a canopy of State. The Rev.

The Baroness de Ruthven, to present, by Deputy, a gilt spur to the King. Tha Court then adjourned to Friday, the 16th inst. Itsronvaxv! —Among the Notices in a Paper of this moping to Creditors, we observe one which requests all Miss or demands against Mr. Alkis Bull to be sent in ! ! Yesterday, Mr. Sheriff ROTHwELL gave a grand dinner, at Fishmongers. Hall, to upwards of seventy persons of distinction—amongst whom were, Lord Eastman, most of the Judges, a number of Alder men, the Common Serjeat.t, &c. The present depressed state of CoMmerce tends greatly to increase the rivalry for ti lhe new Loan. No less than seven lists are now talked of. The Stock Exchange list and the Bankers and Merchants are, it is now said, respectively subdivided, so as to form a greater number. According to present rumour the lists will be tone headed by Mr. Rarttscnito ; Messrs. RICARDO (brothers) and MELVILLE, head another ; a third will be formed by Messrs. I. L. GOLD BMW, and F. and A BAILEY. These three lists will probably include all the scattered members of the Qid Stock Exchange list, first established by BARNES, RICARDO, and Co. Mr. D. RICARDO, the only s r vivor of t he original Managers, declining any further connexion with Loans. A fourth set of contractors are expected to unite metier Messrs. SHXWELL, and a fifth under the House of TRowER and BATTYE. The firm of Messrs. REID and Ittyttlo, who were bidders for the Loan of last year, are expected again to come forward, not as they then did, in union with other Houses, but independently—an arrangement that may be owing, ia part, to the smallness of the Loan, and in part also to the recent demise of. Sir Joust JACKSON, who participated with theca in that offer.— A rumour is also current, but we speak of that with less confidence than the others, that the House of BARING will makp proposals for the contract. SPECIAL COMMISSION FOR THE COUNTY OF YORR.4—.
