Ann. 931 Cnnf. for May, u4:l 65 The negotiation for tie return of Mr. Pirr and Lord Mt:A.lll.k into power broke off IA Thurf day night. The latter, we believe, was the chief mover in the bullle that has for fume days occu pied the pub::e attention; but whether in the pro. poled arrangements he aimed at too large a por tion of the clieele parings and candle ends for him fell and Mr. Pirr, or, creful chiefly of his own intereft, he I - legit:led to bait futliciently the trap intended fur the latter, the public have not yet been informed. It is Dill affirmed, however, that Earl Sr. VINCENT retires from the Admiralty, but not to make room for Lord MEt.viti.e. Lord Boon, it is faid, will be appointed Firil Lord of the Ad. 211;r:thy, but only ad inttrin. Will his Lard(hip accept the appointment on filch a condition? Lord ICL:.LY is the Scots Peer fet up by Lord MELVILLE as a Candidate to fucceed die Earl of Dust vast s• But there i, a rumour that Mr. AD• DINGTOPI has written a letter, in which he Rates that Lord Mai.vi LIP. has no authority from Go •ernment for the Reps that he has taken in this affair, and that they do not mean to interfere in the moR diflant degree in the election. if this be true, as there is reafon to believe it is, after the fracas that has taken place, it is poffible that the Earl of LauDLaaaee may be returned. The breaking off of the negotiation between the in: and oar,---a more important one, in the opinion bf ibme men, than that carrying on between this country and France—is confidered by many as fa• vourable to the hopes of peace. Our own opinion is, that Pith would b: its natural tendency were Europe in a common date ; but it is far othetwife at the prcfent moment.

They have even refuted to accept of several articles, adapted I to their use in that country, which they had pre-1 viola:ly ordered. This expedition will now probably' be thrown into that immenle mafs of preparation Milting on all the coatis of the North Sea, and probably be deflined to I:re rke dull of Europe, in- Head of that of America; for who can (onside for a moment that the tlioulands and tens of thoufands atEmbling in thefe regions, are deitined merely to guard :spina invation.

A cold wind, and much dull, kept mairr Ladies ,away ; the Gardens were, notwithitau i. ing, tolerably attended. The walk from the gate down to the River, was thronged with falhion : it is the moll open and plod:lnt.—But when the fun becomes more powerful, the old walk westward, lheltered from its rays, will alone be the Icene of gay retort. Several well-drefed women appeared, and many beauties. Lilac filks, ftraw bonnets, and white muffins, were chfplayed in all the IPirit of trimmer. The handkerchief, rube, or jacket. hanging with one point behind, attraded the moil notice ; and as feveral of them were made of ele gant materials, they excited the molt admiration- Proceeding along. contemplating the varieties an.l eltgancies of drefs, the eye was arreted by adroli figure, covered with all the colours of the rainbow, and having all the exterior of infanity :—This was Sir JOHN DINILY, a little old man, well known at the well end of the town. He had on Markt fmall clothes, a blue waiacoat, and orange coat ; over all of which was a large !hubby drab great coat. He wore a large King Casatrs's highly powdered, without any hat; and as if this drefs was not fufficiently attraretive, expanded over his head was a large filk umbrella, to proted his delicate countenance tromthe fun, and to put to the hlufh the pretty parifols twinkling around him. Sir JoNN attrafted a esrowd in his train; and 'truck with furprixe,if not admiration, every promenader. But his triumph was at lag ecipfed ; about half palk three, a bevy of Parifian beauties entered ; two marched before, and three behind- Of the two Sea, one was a tall liAlldiOlna Woman j the other rather &MUT. and more OR kin 'Wig: Whelk tight petti coats made a perfee ditplay of mut - v.ller motion. They were elicited in the fineß running. with astri de jackets, orange &awls over the arm, the neck fathionably bare, the arms bare to the Moulders; the hair dreffed a la Gree, with ringlets a at. ifaltfr4 no cap or bonnet on the head. but only a nets whiteface veil, covering the head and lliouldersa/M. The moment theic Ladies paired Sir JON als the po pular current turned, Sir lons was left/ilia, and the Ladies were furrounded. They went out of the public walk in hopes of avoiding the crowd; but by this they attra:ted the great er concourfe. See ing a mob at a dill ance, everyone ran to know what was the matter. The throng became a downright npob, middling mistily of young men of the lower dais, iu their Sunday clothes, who rudely preired around the Ladies. They were not wilfully intuit ed, no one Ipoke to them, nor did any one touch them; hut the crowd was In great around, and fir clotely followed them, that though they bore the duit and uproar with notch good humnnr for &time, they loon difcovered the necelfity of retiring .--• They turned back, and avail the public walk fornewhat embarratfed. During all this time, no valiant Knight Ilepped forward to proteet them. Even in this rural and romantic fcene, the lge of Chivalry had fled. and the glory of Kentingtmi Gardens was ertintioilhed for ever. The Ladies were not to Licitly /hefted as many demure Englilk women are fumetimes at the Opera ; not no-re than a third Of their necks was bare, and their petticoats were not tucked to the hams. The link they committed was, they were dieted for a hall, and not for a forenoon's promenade. It WAS this that attrafted attention ; it might be oh ra,;. fen ; but joins Ball limed. The two Ladies made their way out of the Gardens, with a great mob at thsir heels, Iii;11 the footmen at the door joined, without adding to its politeneli. Therwalked acrols the Park to the carriage -road, an excel:five crowd following, kickii:g up a dud ; the hut (men riding up in all diretsions, to know whether it was a pickpocket, a boxing match, or General Aims osai %Within a few paces of the coach way two gallant Knights at Litt offered the ladies their Fri,- !enion, which was moil readily accepted. Cue ut them was a'lltong, tall, hana.me mat, ab:e knock down any irifolent fretator. By this time !hr Ladies were quite pale with fear, and quite dully. At 'aft they found theirforiable (a happy dil cosery alter Inch treatment)and leated in it waibrd for their friends. The three other ladies. two of them being dreffed in the Englith Edition, and oar. although highly Psrifian, yet very low in datures had not been rn.uch noticed, and reached the lota , Lk loon after, when all got off in lately. We were , rn4!,le in learn the names of there L A dies. Ladies were, however, fine women, and ma eie rmAly drvirzi.
