I . Itess's wrong'. When we had perused this affecting Lotter, weettuld not help exclaiming, the " sge of . chivalry it gone ;" aye. and the age of justice too ! Butaarely, though redress was not obtained, instant at'least, was paid to this interesting and . , 'pathetic appeal to the Royal feelings. No ; it was pent awl returned twice mu-pelted, and when, on the third time, it was either read by the PRINCE REGENT, •or reed to him, he not chuse to signify his plea sure c amt as her natural Protedor had thus refused to listen to her complaints, she was reduced to the distressing dilemma of submitting to be branded with guilt, or. as her last resource. to, wipe off the stigma, .by a public assertion of her innocence. She chose, and, in one opinion, wisely chose the. latter.• The people of England have long sympathised. with • her hapless fate, and nothing is so likely to procure her /Loyal Ilighttess;iiibstantial justice, as a clear, dis t'_.!pct. and oneqltivocal expression of pub lic o p inion.— . This Letter has, however, by the parasite* of power, & n. attacked in all possible formsby weep- I fug and, lamentetion, like 46 Recasts.. mourning for her - . children, because they were not"—by cla. nr and rr i arobation, as if a second Gun-powder' Plot h a d been discov2red. Hear how the whining, fashionable Poi blubbers :7-•••"With feelings, which, to a dt , gree inexpressible, not' only distress, but i sicken the heart, we return to • the consideration of a stibiect, the ret,ewed - agitation or. which most, we arc persuaded, afford equal cause of grief and of disgust in every manly, generous, and LOYAL mind." 'this MU feels no grief, no disgust, at libelling pri vate character, however excellent, to gratify his . 'stupid malignity ; but when the virtues of 'his worthy patrons are questioned, he whimpers, like Miss hi her Tee - ns, and winds up his doleful, pensioned gide glum, with the emphatical word kozau. Enough of this rush-light of the foshionabk world. But the Gamier, the man of all-work, what says the u g and Tory Courier to her Royal Highness's Letter ? Hear- 4 . While we 'feel on her Royal Highnesss account, we view with deeper and unmingled inte rest, the situation in which his Royal Highness Li placed, as a Husband, as a Father, as a Prince, as a Mani not merely the mark, from the eminence of his station, , and the brightness of his name, for the shafts of vulgar and traitorous malignity, but ex posed, as*the reward of an unobtrusive magnanimity and forbearance, to inuendos• and imputations, to which no private gentleman in his dominions could with honour submit."—Excellent ! we were pre pared for magnanimity, but we expected also to have its application to the case in question Clearly explained. The Courier only says, it was displayed " in forbearance to inuendos and imputations." — Why, the inueinlos and imputations can only moan, that Royal highness has long estrang ed himself from the Princess—that she has - been accu sed,' tried,-i and itonourably acquitted—but - if not with his appro bation, tt least with his knowledge, still left a prey to tat solitude and sorrow, which could only-with jt't.ce be allotted to guilt. If these facts are un rive• .(..table, we can see no great magnanimity in recit Ale,it to imputations that cannot hr an- . swernd. Bet his Rovll Ilighnessis made a " mark from the bright& ess of his name." It is net easy to answer this—brightness, as a figitre in speech, is al. ways used in a good sense, and here it is certainly intended to include, among other things, superior virtue. If, then, this sort of brightness is not bor rowed from the Courier, but his Royal Highness's own 0ti ; .;:..al property, it 'may indeed offend his Imo. desty to become a mark for the gaze of admiration ; hot, alas ! this is a misfortune from which 'no human effort can relieve him, till excellence and. virtue : have lost their attractions. .Thu Courier talks of the dignified attention of the .Pattocc REIASNT to his aanffitter. This we do not at all dispute ; but lig nifierd attention seems to be' rather too stiff and stately an expression to convey a father's feelings: Why -not call it affectionate attention ? No, It won't do without dignity and magnanimity.---But the Courier, in the following quotation; has brought together his whole ingenuity and strength to the support of his cause. Speaking, of the Princes& of WALES, he says, " She may have friends to console and caress her—every one may acknowledge the in. justice of the treatment she meets, and pity her con dition ; but an severe are the rules of society, and for the best purposes, that she is coldly received, and as conveniently avoided as may be, until at last she be comes disgusted with public company, and finds her only comfort in retirement. Impeachment by the husband, entails three-fourths of the external conse quences of guilt in this world, though no internal approbation may foliose." This is a most convenient and delectable doctrine for a vast. number of hus bands, and will be hailed with' extacy 1 . Any man satiated with enjoyment, and panting for variety, has only to impeach his wife, and he entitileon . hea tenths of the external consequences of guilt m this world Observe this admirable Moralist pauses at the grar::), anti though you may console her and sc. kr:...n:e4g- the injustice of her treatment, yet you mast carefully avoid her. This new species .of mo rality may serve other purposes besides that of mer riment, and may, perhaps, receive some illustration from the following imaginary, but certainly possible case. Suppose a man, whose youth has beet spent in riot and debauchery—Who has squandered his patrimony in the gratification of wild end licen tious desires—whl having grown almost old with out being reformed by age, or instructed by expe rience—Co is arrested in his. guilty course, solely by the Kant of means to continue his profligate, career, should, to repair his broken fortunes, be at last compelled to marry ? Suppose also; that his unfortunate wife, who, though of unblemished cha. factor, should soon tarn cot to he a bar to the re kumptiou of old habits and old coursections, and wis4ing therefore to get of her, he should falsely impeach her conduct, what would the world stay to a separation effected by such means ? Say ! •Why she would, according to this new system of ethics, be only coldly received and carefully avoided. Aye! but; says the Courier, we were not alluding to the &se of nrditiary.men„ we were talking of the PRINCE E FCC:NT—hue Lou any thing to say against him ? C:Nrtainly not, Mr. Couarza, .he is indeed • a 'very different heti of man from the one wetave supposed • and with respect to his Royal Highness's ease, we our sincere concern, that ever cannot help expressing CAESAR'S wife had ham even suspected.- ~. of ti._ Govermoest put who; istt lk mastiodi g c, by tainatte oesdellion fo fie had presumed to mop. .. .

ARREST OF A BRITISH GeNERAL.—A clrcumsfarlco occurred a few evenings since which has caused ‘oree bustle in the fashionable world. A. distinguished Officer, eminent for his bravery and great military knowledge, and allied by birth to one of the fast fa milies in the sister kingdom, was seated in one of t':e side boxes of Covent-Grirden Theatre, attentive t.) the play, and unconscious that before him sat a nt!:,flr Auctioneer, when his ear was suddenly assailed by the charge. of " You have get my pocket-book!" which charge was instantly accompanied with a tre ' mendous shake by the collar. The General freeing himself from the rude grasp of the ponderous Pulpit Orator (who is a man sit feet three inches in height, and of vast muscular strength), resented the accusa tion ; but as the gallant Officer was not known, he was given in charge of an Officer of (he PoliCe. The Police Officer took the Word of honour of the Gene ral for his appaiance next morning at Bow-street. In the interval however, the - Auctioneer discoveic:l I his error and the folly of his conduct ; for in lining of his old coat was found the pocket -gaol:, which-he supposed had been purloined ! The matter is to. undergo the proper investigation in a Civil Court of justice. . •... I - • DI ND: On Friday last, Mr. D. D. iltelt;•at his bovie,Tinion-strect.

This action was brought on a promissory not of the Brighton Bails, of which the Defendants *sieie the proprietors.

The coach was robbed; and the note in question, amongst others, taken our, and came into the possession , of the Plaintiff, a shopkeeper, for a bona fide and valuablo consideration• in the way of his business; that he had no notice that thenote was stolen, or unfairly obtained. It was also agreed that the Defendants had by hand-bills and avertise ments in the newspapers given till theitotice in their power. Ott this statement of facts, Lord _ELLIN noaoutitt declared he would direct the Jury to find for the Plaintiff. • The SaLIMOR-GENERALf at the regoest of his Client, tendered a bill of exceptions. The Jury found for Plaintiff, damages 101. • RANKINE, &C. V. PP.ICE. ,This was'an action brought to recover the amount of two prOmissory notes of 5001. each. The Plain tiffs were the ass ignees of the late Mr. Martindale, and the Defendant was the eucutOref the late Lady Amelia Carpenter. The defence set up for resisting the payment was, that the notes had been. given for 13141tai Purposes—.for the liquidation of gambling debts; for debts, in fact, that had been incurred by playing at the unlawful game called Faro. It appeared that Mr. Martindale, in his lifetime, was a Gentleman of very considerable property, and had been well' known in the circles of fashion. He was also well known as the banker of a eertain Fero table, at the west end of the town, Many Ladies of fashion and title were iu the habit of. frequenting this table; and as they were sometimes _so unfortu. nite as to lose their money, Mr. M. was called upc.n rto replenish their purses by loans. TMs he invari able did, if the parties were known to him ; for it had been found, that such advances were absolutely necessary, to enable their Ladyships to carry •n their domestic concerns. Amongst others to whom he was in the (request habit of lending money, after reverses of fortune, was her Ladyship above-men- tioned ; so that, in many instances, those advances were totally unconnected with gaming ; though in others he used to advance money, to enable them to play. But the - transactions with Lady A. Carpenter were chiefly fair, correct, legal loans. They had continued for some time, and when Martindale be came a bankrupt, her Ladyship was indebted to his estate, on the balance of accounts, in the sum of 1,3701. The accounts were examined and adjusted by the assignees ; and those sums which had been ad vanced in an illegal manner, for the purposes of, or connected with, gambling, were struck out of the account. For the payment of the balance which then remained dui from her Ladyship, security by notes was given ; and the two notes in question formed the chief part of that.secarity. Lord Etaxte,so,n4tven said, - that there 'were some conflicting circuldnlttlets ; bid it would he, for the Jury to decide, wlnther the notes, or any part of thsr amount of •thein, Lad resulted . from gaming; or whether' the whole was a bona fi de transaction. If they should decide that the debt had been contracted by reverses at play—if they should think that' the amount, in truth, consisted of a part of the losses of her Ladyship at the table, then they would, of course, find for the Defendant; but if the Jury should be inclined to believe that the debt had ac crued in a fair and legitimate manner, by loani to her Ladyship, unconnected with gaming, they would, of awn', finstfor the Plaintiff.
