PO THE EDITOR OF r!!! S7:ITES.II.IN. Sta—Tour Portsmouth corrapomient hag certainty done himself great credit by his regularity, but he has most assuredly lost in a greater degree by his palpablel deviations from truth. I have been from home for some days, or[ should have remarked before this of) istrateaust and I cannot but express my surprise - the statemeut he has given of the recep at Portsmouth. Far from transport. of joy being felt on the entrance of the King into, Portsmouth,asSoon as the 1 4 undport gates were opened after the keys had bey; returned to the floveruor, dose carriage, in which, le is preistned the King was appeared, cries of " the Quern, the Queen for ever' spontaneously proceeded from the multitudes wh were assembled on the ramparts, in the espectation o poring the Sovereign ; but, from the rapidity wit 'which he was driven , , . they were disappointed. llii progress down the High-street, which was lined o both tides with military,-and whine there were scarce' isy poople, except the inhabitants at their differe ' windows, wits dull and silent. Here, a single wbi handkerchief was seen waving, there, a solitary was heard ; and even these miserable uemonstratio of loyalty piticeeded from the houses of tradesmen wit supply the different departments of Government, and who were afraid of losing their custom by the !dig appearance of backwardness. Many of them suffe for illuminating on the acquittal of the Queen, an were obliged to expiate their display of freedom • opinion, by appearing in a blase os the Coronation 4 the King. On reaching the Sally r 4, loud cries "the Queen,""atl " God save the %tom" were ben km the people op the beach'? ead here I mud agal iiewie your correspondent of ',correctness; if he , t it stranger be might bare *tea docoirml, if not, be ,guilty of falsehood. The "enthusiastic burst of se plume" proceeded from a wharf or stage projecting into the water from the King'sAslaughter-bouse, under the moron, of the Agent Vicinedier, where the supe rior Officers and Clerks from the Dock-yard, Oust wharf, and various Offices, together with their wives, were collected, not unmixed with some labourers, to welcome the Sovereign. On this stay ao other per► sons were admitted bat those who were he immediate emssexiou with (lovernmeat ; and amongst the fore most of them was a Promoter of ono of the llole-and- Corner Addresses, who now bears the title of Knight, which was conferred on him by the King, on his late ,visit to Portsmouth. In many other parts the state ; aunt is grossly exaggerated, but l content myself with pointing out some of the most glaring instances, from ,which you, may inlets of the correctness of the Whole. i ted here I shook) hare stopped had I not observed Oat your correspondent had not couteuted himself With posing, hut had descended to scurrility and abuse. wlaterec partb or of rhetever political opinions he moil?, I cue nut; hat he surely could nut he ea ,liing t iehmao who would insinuate any thing against independence and an hatred of corruption ? He must be lost to all principle, who would dare ridicule a ,osauly (*positive to Ministerial induence, aid lie meet be destitute of every libetal sentiment if he au* descends to be the organ of venting the spleen of the Admiralty on the Corporation of Portsmouth. If they refixed to elect a Lord of the Admiralty, they acted as even—if they paid no attest* to the courtship of the manly display,of true English firmness be so dis pleasing, as to put curb petty ideas into the mind of the King as yonr Correspondent possesses? For what lionunr would accrue to that body who would elect a Dependant on the present Administration—.rho would choose for their representative, a man, wbo could have no u ill of his own; a man who had the modesty to pro into the Goose and vote for his own appointment—and a man, who has crouched to the 31iniaters, and voted with them in every measure op pressive to the People ? Surely an everlasting disgrace would hang over them. lint what must be the prin ciples of that bo,ly, who hare ever turned a deaf ear to the minions of the Treasury—who in a town surrounded by Government tools ever disregarded them—who, barrissed on all sides, still rise superior, and who stud to P.sryament two honest men, who have el nalised themselves as the friends of the poor—the friends of liberty—the friends of the people—who opp -se the nsnrpations of dagitions and unjust Admi nistrations, and who are never absent from their post when the interest of the country is concerned. Such are the principles of the Corporation of Portsmouth, and lone may they art as they have hitherto done ; 'such principles as theirs can alone save the country, ' and rescue it from its impending danger. Of the 'ate:dap:us resorted to at the last election, to procure the return of Sir 0. Cockburn., I shall not take no !ire, but should yonr correspondent at any time la dulire In the same conrse he has done, he shall find an 'opponent ia ronr constant reader, Portsastrath, August 9, NC.
