H. HALFORD I W. lABIADEN, • R. WLLI,IS, . . JIAILLIE. • ItbrnisstOriniele of this day contains the fellow int passage : ft In a Paper of yesterday it was stated errone. ously; that'Mr. • Ps:aceviL had bade . long autli -44 ence of his ROyal Highness the Pnixcx of 46 WALES, on the subject of the course to be pur. " sued in the pri•scnt situation of the Executive f • Power. We belibre that no such interview (oak 4 ‘ place. The Loan CIIANCEIII.OR, indeed, had an " audience of the Pnrsee some days ago, but not " no the subject of a Regency. We understand it S. related simply to• the settlement made by the late "'Princess AMELIA, not on any subject at all ems. .1.. f fleeted with the present state of affairs; indeed, it as we have stated, the PRLNCE has throughout t• abstained from all interference with the measures 46 that have been taken on the present atilicting Fr cm.•rgency : and we believe, that of all men, his gg Royal fli;hncss is the most earnest in hit ‘ l. "fishes fgt. the Kura's speedy and perfoct fsCO r vcry.'t No sio..itt this intelligence is accurate, and it was with extreme pleasure that wo react it. It is known that we treated this report respecting the Patsee with contempt, end should have loft it io utter knee if the story had not been SQ obstinately reite. ratel. That his Royal Highness should deign to bargain with any men fur the REGENCY, was a , thought that could not have entered into any hut the potrest mind; and that he should haw agreed to retain the present Ministers would indeed have given a proof to the country that* he was unworthy of the station. His Royal highness has lamented the present system at.d practice of Government with a sensibility eonsonaet with his other Atte (panties. It is true,in. deed, his Royal Highness has not appeared in two. sition to his ratlier's counsels. to this he has shown most eminlntly the wisdom, as well is mode. ration of his exalted mind. His Royal Highness bas been repeatedly sad loudly tailed , ttpon to set. himself in opposition to his .Father's cosmseb. Uis Royal Highness knew his ditty better. He knew tits wh.,10 of his duty, both AS it regarded hii relation to, his - Sovereign and his Father, and at it regarded hi, obligations to the country he was deslintsl to rag's over and protect. lie made these several du. ties meet in one point, and tend to one object. Whatever influence or power he had, he employed bi:endeavourieg to tern his father aside from those unheillty counsels which have been so disastrous to the country. Alit his Royal Highness did not Pet this part with any ostentatious opposition to his' Father's Government. It is an idle supposition to iambic, that the Heir of the Crown can join with au open opposition, and preserve his own charac. ter. There is an indecency in the situation which is incompatible with the character of a Prince. There h a meanness in hackneyed cavils that may bec.nne a party.snan, but is unworthy of a Prince. Had Isis Royal Highness taken the advice we have alluded to, be would, when he came to ascend the throne, have come to it fettered by worse than any chstos which even the present Ministers would wish to pot upon his Us:espies% Following the dictates pt* his own candid and /aigh tenet! mind, helms placed himself upon an eminence More lofty thaO tba Throne itself ; and when the Throne is his, he will ascend it with a reputation worthy to till Owned ; and be free to act according to his goo demisted wilt. Nothihkcau exegt the splendour which Will surround his Royal Highness, and even toy to Win will be the task of saving Ida caoutry;• —vow— V 1 e this morning received the feilowins commit. oication from LLOYD'S : " The hope, GEoRGe G ALIO, Master, of Perth, from New Brunswick to Plymouth ) , put into Scilly on the 28th of October. On the 16th she was plundered by a french brig privateer of rigging, sails, stores, &c . . and the following day vas :warded by the clictries privateer, of Bayonne, the Command,:r of which offered to si:lipty the Pope wit!) any thing she was in want of.—. As soon ai the Charles was known to have bevii clitur:ll by the Amelia frigate, the Com. miitee of 141i•yd' sent to Mr. Gallia fur an AM. davit the treatment he rectivei from the Civet., suamter of the ('harks, and 9n receipt thereof; . a f e u da)s since, transmitted it to the Lords Cont. elissioner—or thi , Admiralty, and they have lial the pleasure of I)..ing ilifoomed, that iu consideration of the rirciiinstvnee, their Lordships have been ',leaved tq give en Order for the release of the Conttnander taf the chgriOi up his pArolut--,Wv hope shut ' ."'

The renewing Bulletin, conteiaing the substiace et jittelligenee received by Government from the Meditertauean, was yesterday circulated in the Pub lic Offices • " Nis Majesty's ship Fortturee is arrived at Spithead from the Dlcditerraneart, bringing n txtraprdfuary Ambassador from the Uxr of Atnszns. He ls the bearer of presents for their SI .7 ESTI ES, of great value and carilsity. " By the Yortaner, dispatches have boa received from Gibraltar up to the 26th ult. by which it appears, that a for midable iusurreetion'agaiast the French had broken out in the Province of Grenada, with every prospect of success. " Feles-Malago and twenty-three of the neistdrutiting towns and villages were in arms, and some ships of war have (Poe from Gibraltar and Ceuta to assist the Patriots, and to supply them withaessounition and arms. " The people of the mountains of Ronda were expected every day to vise, and lathe their ettorts in the tame cause. The Marquis De Portaco and General Va4eitebro, who have been recently s•'nt round by the new ilegency to this neighbour. hood, are, from their distinguished characters, likely to be,af the greatest service to the Patriotic cause. , ; " General Camrattr.L's (the < iuvernor pf Gibraltar) db patches convey the very satisfactory intelligence that the fever had totally disappeared at Gibraltar, where clean bills of • health were issued on the 16th Nov. and the ai'. o taken of from the district that had been infected. " Only six of the inhabitants and *ix aoldiem, belonging to the 7th Veteran Battalion, have died of this disease, the early suppres►ion of which is in a great measure to be attributed to the zeal and ability of Dr. PYN, the principal Medical Olicer of the garrison." Her MAJX,ITY took an airing last morning lati • Buckinghamshire, accompanied by the Princess EpixAstnu and two Ladies in Waiting. The Pris. cessMAny improves in her health daily. Her Royal Highness takes the advantage of air mad exercise, to which she has boon &stranger for many months put. Hi' Boys! Highness the Dakc of CLARENCE is expected in towo this day from Bushy Park. His Boys' Highucu the Duke of Yotto returned 10 town on Tuesday, from Windsor ; in the even. ing his Royal Highness dined with Mr. GREEN. wows, at his house in A,talley-square. On Monday last, Lord HOLLAND gave a grand 'Opposition siltuner at Holland-house. . A letter froin Harwich, slated on Tuesday, says: ay the master of a uentral vessel arrived from Holland, we are informed that s requisition has .teen made in that country fur 7000 men, to wee the French fleet in the Scheldt; that a ship of ,the line and two frigat e s hailed from Uelvoetsluys sums time ago, .but the ship of the line, from her draught lof water, got on shore, at was obliged to return to Helvoutuleys. The frigates are sdpposed to have 'sailed north about for the object of their slestiva. lion." ' Several letters, of data up to the Bth inst. were yesterday rccoived from Hollaud. They are in the same desponding tone that all private communications from that country have lately been; kited with me. laucholy accounts of national and individual distress, both of which have augmented in a degree beyond all former example. They stale that the Dumber of pau. pets in each district is increased tenfold within the last six months, the principal ,cause of which is said to be the reduction of the interest of the fends to 'oue.third of their former amount. This, with-the profits of the fisheriei and the limited trade which Holland lately enjoyed, constituted the chief sup. port of the mass of its population. The diminu. lion of one of these sources, and the destruction of the two others, have produced, as might na. turally have been expected, severe and extensive dis. tress. Some faint hopes were entertained, that the new plan of finance would check, in a slight degree, the daily increasing calaMity. The distress was also considerably Increased by the recent great failures at Ilamburgh, and other places on the Continent. Several houses of note had in consequence suspended their payments, among which was cue engaged in the Russian banking line. It up. pears, also, that these commercial embarrassments have beets felt at Paris, as letters from that city of thettl state, that two great Banking concerns bad been obliged to stop payment on accuuut of the great advances they had made to rho Government. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Comman ders took leave of the Court previous to departing for their reapeciivc destinations, viz.—Captain R. Baowri, Dorsetsitire, for Bombay and Chilli ; J. Henry Addington, ditto • L. Dooms. Wainer Cattle, fur St. Helena, BeiscCmiest 1 *al China. The Cambrian, country ship, Capt. TATS, .ailed 1 on Tuesday from Portamonth 'for Bombay ; and the liarmy sloop of war t. Capt. A.* C OURT , with *Ottani for the Cape of Usiotlitort.. A letter has been received by a respectable hoa r s,. in the City, from thin burgh, dated the '23d of No. seteber, which is highly interesting. The follow. big is an abstract of the communication:— - - - " Tiii, day we received the Certain intelligence that Austria had refined to put in force the Decree of the 514 per cc*. ta• riff, and burning the goods of her subjects; and that she has gnu., su far ns to reclaim the losses her subjects residing In the towns of the Confederation of the Rhine have sustained by such proceedings of the Governments where such losses have taken place. Further, that Persia has made Pence leak Russia, and Turkey expected to follow her in the same lauda ble holiness." If this intclligence is correct, it is the first in. 'stance since the alliance het*Eell BONAPA iLTP. and the. House of A uhrniA, in which the Emperor rasweve has Shown the least resistance to the harsh :and unfeeling conduct of NAPOLEON.

To the astonishment of every one on board the Podargesa, 13 guineas, four half-guineas, some French crowns, and other silver pieces, were found in her ; and there can be no doubt much more would have been saved bad she not unfortunately capsized.
