The Chronicle is of another 1 -concern with dissensions in the Royal Family as I opioion ; and if natural feelings and common sense -With those of any other, is an assertion that Le are dlltswed to decide, one much more f ou nded on •fawning sycophant FILMER would have been asha‘ed probability.

To reconcile the possession of such 'but more than any other cause determine the very [frights', - With a high satisfaction at her Royal form, fashion, and habits of society. Hence it is Bother's being prohibited from participating in the that the First Magistrate of this country hies meet', ho4seurs justly due to her rank, le an absurdity, bound, by moral obligation; to exemplify in his own:.which it may suit a venal hireling No maintain, bat conduct, the appearance at least s of all those virtues which call deserve no other answer from any man whieVreaton and religion inculcate, as he is bound who thinks for himself, than that of astonishment by the solemn conditions of an oath, to administer : at the impudence, and ,contempt for the baseness of justice in mercy. These are among the great duties, the writer. Since the Princess was brought. home to for the due performance of which, the King of Esc*. CarlfOn House, the Chronicle talks of her being In V.AND has assigned him the largest revenue enjoyed an immured condition, and anything but happy; by any crowned head in Europe. It is trisiOndeed, :while, in confirmation of this - characters of the bad example of any individual and fortune may do much mischief; but, after all, its influence is still' circumscribed by bee 4ity, and confined to the neighbourhood of his resi lience. No private individual could long, however, continue to outrage the sober and civilized habits of 'English society, by open and daring profligacy—the contempt and adliorrence of all around him, though such means might fail in reforming a vitiated taste, would certainly compel him to assume the mask of hypocrisy, and study the arts df concealment. Not so with Princes—their example reaches the whole limits of a kingdom, and is much too alluring to be resisted ; cut let It be remembered, that their virtues and vices mast leer be displayed on too conspiCuous a theatre to escape the notice of the public eye, in tent, at all times, In gazing on their every action. But, above all, it should never be forgotten, that the duty of Princes is, in the strictest sense, na tional property, paid for, and liberally paid for, tet the money of the people, a consideration which dia. tinguishestheir case from that of any private individual whatever. Impressed with these sort of feelings, we • proceed to notice the recent extraordinary flight of the Priucess CRABLOTTE from Warwick Rouse, and So examine the reasons assigned by the leading Jour aals connected with Ministers and the Opposition, fur that very singular affair. It is admitted an all bands, that on last Tuesday evening, the PRINCE &mar; accompanied by the Bishop of SALISBURY, • paid a visit to the Princess CosazoTre, and intio mated to tor'ROyal Highness that Miss KNIGHT, and all her household, as well as all the servants attending olion her, were dismissed—that s* must forthwith take up her residence in Carl. ' fen House, and from thence to Cranford liodgevl where the Countess Dowager of ROSSLTX, the Countess of ILCHESTER I the two Miss COATES, and Mrs. CAMPBELL were actually in the next room, in readiness to wait upon her. In this embarrassing situation, the Princess affected compliance with her Father's wishes, and only requested permission to cithdraw for a few moments to compose her spirits, aid to prepare for the introduction of these ladies. Ste was allowed to withdraw accordingly, but in stend of rewriting as expected, she rushed into the street, threw herself into a hackney-coach, and drove off to Connaught-place, the residence of her Royal Mother. So far us these facts go, all parties are agreed, but the Chronicle assertsohat the breaking up cif her Royal Highness's household, and the dismis sal of hor servants, was an intimation delivered in terms of unusual severity, as it was accompanied by a declaration, that she was to be placed under the sole superintendance of these Ladies, newly appointed by the REGENT, and that she was neither to be per mitted to receive visits nor letters. On the other band, the Courier, who may be regarded as the Ministerial organ in every thing but truth, assures us, that the above extra orti:hary intimation was made to the Prin. cesrin the mildest terms—" with all that kindness atat effection for which the Priuce has been univer 'wittily distinguished, not only in his treatment of his daughter, but of all kis family," for the truth of \which, he appeals to the Bishop of SALISBURY.- 3 Ye, for our parts, do not think it necessary to !rouble the Right Reverend Prelate on this occasion, for however satisfactory the Bishop's testimony might be. the thing is sufficiently clear to speak for itself: if the PRINCE ReTersz could announce to his daughter the dissolutiou of her household, the dismissal of her servants, and a peremptory prohibition against re ceiving either visits or letters, in the mildest terms, it must be pretty evident that his Royal Highness can say a very uncivil thing in a very civil way. --a faculty, which however it may bespeak his politeness, is but a sorry compliment paid to Ids sincerity. As.for the kindness and affection to his daughter and all his fa mily (of which his wife reckons one), for which the Costrier samtheßcaver has been always distinguish ed—that is a truth. to long and so universally known, A' Dutch Mail arrived this morning, from which the following estracts are taken. The intelligence from Smyrna is of a most distressing nature, where the plague is making great ravages, and upwards of twenty thousand persons had been carried aff by it :. BRUSSELS, JULY 10.—Since the return of Lord Lynedock, it seems probable that England wilt, for the present, assist in the erpence of our army, which is organizing with great success. A plan is making for a line of fortresses, to cover our country from the Meese to the North Sea. It is to begin at Namur, and to comprehend Charleroi, Mons, Tourney, Courtray, Meoin, Ypres, and Veurue. All the Prussian troops, wept the sick, have left the Netherlands.

Smirnma, JUNE 2.—The plague continue* to make unheard-of ravages : it is calculated that up to this day from 20 to 25,000 persons have died of it. , - All the markets, Bazar, and shops are shut, ana iser city seems almost deserted.

Now, keeping either of these objects in our eve, we cannot, in conscience, say that Carlton-house is ex actly the seminary to which we should give the pre. ference. When we consider some of the sort of cha racteu who are familiar at Court, and take also into our estimate the contagion of example, we should think it bitter irony to call Carlton-home a moral forum. But with respect to political wisdom, who are to be her instructors • Is the Princess, as her Royal Father once boasted, to be brought up and confirmed in the liberal maxims of the immortal . Fox ? Or would the motley Tory remnant of PITT'S school, who now bear sway, be more likely to teach her, from the joint example's of their frealf Master and the little Courier, the benefits lof apostacy from her early creed? The psesent Ministry is composed of men, not one of whom wert.ever found ranged on the side of popular rights —they are a knot of mere trading politicians, who on all occacions cling to power, as the most effectual mode of securing place and pension. It therefore highly behoves Parliament to take this important subject into its most serious consideration, and de vise proper means to secure to the Illustrious Per sonage, who may now be almost called heir ap ' parent to the Crown,.all those advantages reviite to qualify her for the faithfol discharge of those great duties, which, from her high statiou, she may soon be called upon to perform. o t xci 41 - 11144 .
