" Prince Gustavus% father, who.in the year 1812, was separated from the Queen his Collllol{, gale her, as the mother of his children, the most unequivocal proof of his confidence by trestle, to her Majesty, not only the educating of the Princesses, but that of Prince Ciesiaves also; however, under, three con ditions, vie. Ist,'rhat their education should be con. formable to the religion in which they were horn ; 2d, to the rank they hold in the world • and 3d. to the duties they may one day be called upon to fulfill. " The Q.iven afterwards received a new mark of confidence from her former Consort, by his giving •p to her the administration of the •hove.mentiiiiird inheritance, relinquished in favour of his children. which was paid by the Seedush Government, mud plated at the disposal of her Majesty. . 4 Bet from that moment she seemed resolved to act obsoletely contrary to the tenoer of the Bondi.

It would In re volting and contrary to nature, to charge this once so virtvoss end so obedient a son entirely with such on offence; it would be even unjust to say, before it could be ',ideally proved, that the Qiseen•Mother of this Prince bad acted only from herself ; yet, it mutt be known, that she bestowed her confidence, and still more, committed the charge end education of her son, with which she alone was intrusted, into the hands of a Calvinist, of a Republican, and stranger ; who, moreover, possesses no acknewledzed title that could distinguish or recommend him in any way for the 'Heatless of Prince Gitstavus's governor. " Let nobody allege the name of the famous 'A larm on the side of that of the Emperor Alexan der, to prose a paradox ; for Laborpe was bet Alea. seder's Inciter, god not his governor. Let no one obese soy more the same of the Emperor Alezander, by representing it in family disgensions, as it cannot ewer commit with the diguity that characterises a great Sovereign. " It has been said in the Gazettes lately, that the Emperor of Raisin had appointed Prince Gestates Goveroor of one of his provinces; at soothe, time, that i.e was going to England, with the Emperor's permission, to finish his stedies, and to be allowed by him 20001. sterling for the espenceis of his re. moral, which would indicate that the Prince bad not a 'efficiency to provide for it himself. " Let es, therefore, pet • stop to so many weekly grounded novelties, and sod , at least, to dere. lope the truth, and not believe it possible that the Emperor Alexander would carry dissimulation so far as not to give any advice at all to Prince Gestaves's father of his good {mentions towards his sop, while he is in painful snidely for the termination of the same son's disobedience."

PORT or SPAIN, APRIL 22.-1 send you the latest Papers end Letters I have received from the Orinoco. A Captain, also suited yesterday, said, that the armies on the Apere were in sight, and that a battle wooed inevitably lake place. Esperience has taught me to receive dying reports with greet distrest; I therefore refer you to the letters in question to guide your judgment. The British at Margarita, segmented by native troops to 2500 or 3000 men, were to effect a land ing near the city of Ceram, unde► protection of the squadron, which is far superior to the Royalist. Cement was besieged by that gallant officer, Go neral Bermudez ; and, when the Fly sloop of war left it lately, was in great distress for provisions.— The storekeeper has deserted to Bermudez, with all the details. General Urdanita commands the expedition from Margarita, and the brace General Gomez, who com manded the Giants of Margarita against Morino, is also under orders, it is said, to accompany him. The Congress is getting on well, and a Represen tative Government acts like magic on the People.— The simple Installation of this Body has produced a perfect union and subordination in all the Chiefs—so respectable is a free Constitution !—The English are quite at borne with it ; and General Bolivar, at leisure to parses the war, while the Vice-President, M. Zee, with the Secretaries of State, conduct the routine of Government. You will see the ample powers vested its the President by the Congress, and Geo. Boliva► deserves them all. Tiwitnan, Aentr.l.l.—iiis Majesty's brig Fly, Captain Tomkinson, came in on the 17th instant, in eight days from Cameos. lie had previously been at Margarita, where English had arrived with his force ; also a Colonel Hetzler, from liambergb, also with troops; that they then could muster on that island about %MO Europeans and 3,000 Creoles. The Council of War bad determined oat to prosecute the sieges of Cessna and Harcelona ; bet having such a formidable army, to land to the Westward of 1., Gem, end march at once to the Cortical,. They only waited the arrival of the Ilentiette, which bed on board the 'coterie: of English's men, to proceed ; and as it is now some eight or ten days since she past this island, they most be near about stetting.

They are closely besieged in Cessna, end suffering great privations; but Captain T. says they were determined to hold out until reinforcements cure from Cache, which they were looking for every day. I conceive they will look II long while before they make their appearance. A brig arrived • few days ago from Angestun, with Gazettes to a late date, In which mention is made of • division of the Royalists having been entirely cat to pinto, on the 18th ult. and that Morino was making the best of his way to Commis and Port Cabello, in two divi sions, closely followed by Pees and Bolivar ; and 1 hope to hear soon that they have gives a gold 'c oma of Mo.

But why should the real Patriot odd the word dis mal to the bowstring clouds ? Their contents most fall on our heads ere the atmosphere coo be clear again. All the art of mon can do would be unequal to 'serf the storm. It has been gathering ewer since the fatal discovery was mode by wicked or ambi tious Ministers, of bouncing money, and charging open posterity the payment of both principal end interest!! The age of %stern, as it were, is retun ing again, hosing gone resod the whole circle: for, however perodosical it may seem, it is no less true, that refinement has brought as to the very door of barbarism. We are metaphorically end almost literally devaluing our own offspring !! The great Dr. FR A tot Li w, with his divine discovery of the conductor, lessened the evils of the natural lightning there will be occasion for the talents, the ezpe rience, end the patriotism of all the moral philoso• phe►s of the United Kingdom, to atteasper and break the force of the political thunder and lightning,whkb the obstinacy sad incapacity of Ministers fo► many, ton many long years, have been creating and drawing tog►ther over our heads, and must of course create much mischief somewhere as it fails. The State is grievously afflicted with many great disorders—the National Debt—the Poor's Rates— the loss of trade by the successful competition of neighbouring nations—the total absence of the pre cious metals by the avaricious, and we will add, the iniquitous conduct of the Bank, whose profits have in• created by the distress of the Stale, and whose Di rectors base lased the People through their , flimsy substitute for solid gold, In a more cruel and galling ratio, Iva times, than any Minister ever dared attempt to do. They have, in short, by the interest on their Stock, together with bonuses, (which, by-the-bye, we see Mr. VANSITTAIT cannot Ind in his heart to refuse them even now,) made above twelve, perhaps fourteen, per 01.111. of their mosey, while the Land-holder hue mit made four and a half, and the Stock.holder rather less than four.— But what is of more consequence still is, that we have a Parliament sitting which has lost the eon& dente of the People, whose strong arm can sustain, defend, or pall down a Government which does not watch over their interest and their happiness. Added to all this, we are informed from authority that one of our over-grown colonies iv in a state of the great est distress, confusion, and probable danger. The cave is as follows :-- Letters from the Cape of Good Hope to the end of March last, bring advices of a most unwelcome no. tore. The natives from the interior were advancing in soeh force, laying waste all before them, that it was found necessary not only to oppose them with the whole regular force at the Cape, bat to enroll all the inhabitants capable of bearing arma. What ever may be the temporary success of the savages, it is hoped that Government will be able to put down, and punish this ioserrection ; but in the meanwhile much serious loss may ondoatordly be incurred. It is added that Martial Law wee about to be proclaim ed in the colony. THE FUNDS. Al half-pest Two o'Clock, the Fends had rather drooped. The Three per Cent. Consols were done, for the Account, at 681, which, exclusive of the half year's interest, is equal to only 671. The Osmium was frost 11 to if dis. French Papers received Ibis morning contain a statement from Namur, that a spring at the foot of a mountain has disappeared in consequence of the fortifications constructed in the citadel ; that through this event, the mountain, being undermined by sub terranean waters, has taken • progressive motion towards the Meese, mid that this effect is so sensible that the country people designate this eminent* es the travelling mountain! The People of Paris are in pest 'saltation at the announcement from the Miniwry of Finance of an ems. of , which is immediately ro produce • remission of tales to the amount of 16,000,1X10f. —The French Ministry may be very objeciit.nable in their abstract opinions; they may be ton much in. dined to the insolent dem f the empire to please the Liberenes ; they may lack the rebid im. p►tuoslty which would give thee grace among the Ultras; they may be week, and void of dog as the Correspondent of the Nem Time. declares (for the Doctor ;maestri to have one, who is as mad as himself); bet for oar parts we cannot help envying a country enjoying a Ministry, who a►e able to pro claim so miraculous a eircorostance,os a redaction of liars ia these days of Ministerial extravagance. crfi ro li =Oß oe TB& ST4TILVAL4N. • 'tehisTh nu nilal free is, I believe, only ept —l4 m aji ry few, who, forgettiog the notate -4 4 teeekrow wr " . ' • . and captivated, perhaps, by their own I.ltepian systems, blindly follow the dictates of their minds, when oven succeeding is im. possible. The arguments of such men, Sir, take rise from true principles, hut terminate in error. it i s admitted that mankind in a state of nature are equal, but I firmly deny the inference they found upon it. I wish not for credit, any farther than my assertions go home to the bosom of every man. Let me only introit this nation to take the evidence of history, and they will find that the early of many leads bet to lb. dominion of a few. I will not shrink from the cause of ety country when surrounded with difficul ties, but we are accused of being revolutionary ea• thinest:, and it is necessary to state oar sentiments. I, Sir, am a Reformer, and affirm, that the correp lion of Parliament is known, nay. that it csonot be denied. It has been, lam well aware, asserted by a forcible writer, that whenever a Legislature acts coo -1 trary to the wishes of a People, it is therefOre dissolv ed; yet, though I sat far from agreeing with such an ungsalifed opinion, I fear not to maintain, that when repeated Petition, for Reform have been pre sented, it behoves the Legislature to correct the lobos., which hare crept into its Representation. It it, Sir, I willingly admit, a &ovules esperiment to alter the manner of electing oar Representatives, bat It is still more dangerous to the vital interests of the nation for a Parliament to sit which is not elected by the free voice of the People. Such, Sir. are my sentiments, sod I leave it to the Public to decide whether this be plain fact or revelatioaary jargon. If admitted to be true, I will then demand what such a lino of conduct can be but oppression or tyranny, disguised ender the names of aucient usage ,and custom. No one no mere readily grant than I do that An. noel Parliaments or Uni I Suffrage would be ruinous to the Prerogative, and hurtful to this best interests of the community ; hut the odherents of Mi. sisters are careful of attacking the general question of Reform, either on the grounds of natural justice or constitutional necessity ; they content themselves I with vilifyiog the characters of their opponents, when they date not meet them lit debate. There are some men, Sir, whom no ties of honour can bind, Do arguments convince; who shot their ears against conviction, and deem the Cause of Re form but the pretest for clamour. It is thus, Sir, we are answered by men, who fling from argument resort to abuse, Red who knowing the weakness of their cause dare not defend it. Is it necessary for me to proceed, in order to satisfy this nation concerning the corruption of the present Parliament ? Shall I drag that man iota public siglitor hose feelings of see sibility and honour, though shakes, are not quits extinct ? I wish not to do It, yet lan at any time bring forward the person who noes» the opinions of Members and reports to his employe». I have, Sir, so low contemptible »sealant» to gratify— I am not actuated by malice to an individual— ( seek not for power, neither look I to reward.— The great Goo, who knows the principles of every mind, will judge my actions by the tendency of my heart. The cheering feeling of approbation that is within me is the sole tecorpence of my Isbours—l wish not another. If rising from the consideration of Reform, wo turn oar reflections to a Prince, I know not whether we should most lament the wretchedness of his lima lion nr the misery of our owo. Whet opinion can his Royal Highness have for Ministers who openly admit, that for three years their conduct bus been guided solely by temporary ezpedients, without bringing forward one sensible plan for the relief of their tensility. Thank !leaven! there are points of insult at which even oppression mast stop when a nation is roused to resistance. I casino!, I will not, speek moderately on such an occasion. The shame ful callousness of some men is to me really astonish ing. If I might venture to approach his Royal Highness, I would implore and beseech him to take the dismissal of Ministers into his most sinless enn. sideration. I world beg him to let no party feeling, no arguments he used that would not tend to his own honour and the good of his country. I world ask his Royal Highness to judge such men by their own words, and we could not leer the result. Bet if it were supposable that a Prince of this country could be so deficient in all sentiment as to be quite callous to the entreaties of his People, I would bid him re elect that the indignant spirit of a nation can make a Monarch tremble, though surrounded by Jaaissries. This laoseage, Sir, may be eltraordioary, becalm% it is cendid bat it must be eseful, because it is true. TACITI:S. A laboured article from Stockholm endeavours to show the absurdity of the rompers that other Powers Intended to interfere between Sweden and her Go moment, but whatever ■ay be said to the contrary, there ar.
