Consideration the Mooopoly of the Water Comp*. IllieS who supply that neighbourhood. The evils resulting from Monopolies are in this instance, as in stilt others, productive of great injury to the I C :t oo dlt nor are they in an y de g ree lessened b y \hese sties basing the authority of a Charter. We have al reedy animadverted upon the unfair and evidently en. jest attempt of the Water Companies to levy a consi. doable additional rate upon their customers,to the pre sent high chirges for supplying them with water, on the plea that they must, according to a late Act of Par liament, lay down iron pipes, but which measure they are allowed ten years to @Recut., whilst the ad ditional charge is levied immediately. We have like wise remarked, that the Public have no security that these improvements will ever take place, and that they may still be subjected to a further charge at the pleasure of these powerful bodies. In the observations we have thus made, we are amply borne out by the facts stated at the Meeting at the London Tavern yesterday, and we earnestly direct the attention of our Readers to these interesting statements. Nothing can be evidently more unfair, and at variance with the advantage and protection w bids the Act of . the Legislature undoubtedly intended ,to confer upon the Public by the regulations laid down khan theconduct of the Companies so justly complained of; and we repeat, that, whatever may be the returns or the profits of these Companies, the Public, over. lased as they already are, ought not to be made to supply capital to any speculators in this mintier. Yesterday the Loam CHANCELLOR paid his respects to the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton-house, upon his arrival in town. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT yesterday. The Duke of Yonx visited the PRINCE REGENT yesterday. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND arrived on the 12th inst. at Berlin from Dessau. Their Royal Highnesses set out on the 16th for Strelite. The Duke and Duchess of KENT returned to Stras burgh on the 22d inst. from Switzerland, on their way to Germany. It is said, that not only the Duchesses of CLARENCE and KENT, but those of CUMBERLAND and CAM BRIDGE, are enceinte*, so that the alarm, which was so much felt for the succession, cauuot now ezist in the most timid mind. The Swiss Governments of Locc.me, Zurich, Berne, .Argovia, end others, have u-.v.imously disapptoved of the measure adopted by the Government of Fri burg, for the restoration of the Jesuits. Mess's.

SIR C. IPOLs-ELEPsLETTER. The Letter of SirChailes Wolseleile4,he Country Gentlemen of England, Riven in our Paper a short time slum has met with high commendation. It con tains truths onpalatablt to alarmist*, and doctrines quite terrible to the enemies of Reform. It is writ. ten in the spirit of English - men of past days, when they despised slavery, laughed at the wooden shoes of the French, and bantered their love sit the Grand - Moiramoe... It things back the times of Chatham,. Jones, end Camden, and leaves on the .mind a comparison, not in favour of the present period. It is written with the manli ness which distisigoishes a freeman; and is eery unlike the servile, cringing. flattering, fawning glorie countenanced at Court. .It suits the meridian of Bit tain,•nd ill accords with the foul air of Aix-in.Che. petit.; arid would be terrific in the police gentry of that city, who, under the Holy Alliance, dismiss whom' they Ovate, at their will.

I'his ve-sa sr , *illy maxim, in most 00C{IffPOCPS of life. is alisurd-- in politics, alroays false and untrue. What concerns all,should, if possible, be known by all. Governmeot belongs to the whole—is intended as the guardian of the whole, and for the benefit of the *hole; it in terests all, relates to all, whether high or dais, (W. Of poor, the Peer or the peasant, the General or the groom, the Baronet Of the barber t To the Gover nors, if they do well, it is the greatest advantage that their good ads should he displayed ; sod if they do ill, it is of the highest importance to society, that they should not he concealed : they should be pro• claimed to the s Public like the boors from Turkish minarets. To hide their vices, tends to make theta more vicious; to exhibit their virtues, to increase their well doing. Property is precarious, life inse cure, where it is seditious to utter an abhorrence of tyranny, mid treason to disclose its injustice.— It is somrtignes the interest of men in power to plunder the 'People ; but it is never the interest of the People to be plundered. It is often the interest of the Ministers to cheat and delude the govoreed; but it is never the interest of the governed to be de. lolled. It is sometimes the interest of the fey: to op press the many; but it is never the interest of the many to b. oppressed. Ambition may sigh for ex tended empire, avarice fur plunder, pride for 1464, and folly for gewgaws; but ambitiou, avarice, pride, and folly, blast the happiness of society ; wild, as they are curves, they ought to be condemned.

The Emperor Alexander, It is now said, will return here on the 30th or 31st inst. to meet his mother, previous to his visit to Brussels. He will most probably re main here for ten or fifteen days, when the objects on which the Ministers have agreed in his ab. sence will be laid before him and the King of Prussia, who will return at the some time. The conferences of Ministers continue es formerly.— The parties in the affair of Baden and Bavaria are not satisfied with the proposition 1 mentioned a few days ago as meeting the views of the Allied Courts. — The Minister of Baden, M. Berstett, is still ex pected here to attend to the interests of his Court. General 'liaison, finding no longer any great persons here to converse with, has retired to his country house near Neuss, opposite Dusseldorf. The little German Courts ate sending their Representatives here, as if Congress was a , kind 'of Germau Diet. The agents of several of the Princes of the second order have already arrived. The mediatised Princes have come in person. Cogan Bentinck, the Prince of Bentheim, the Prince of Croy, and the Prince of Tour and Taxis, are now here. The title and condition of these Princes are perhaps pretty generally known. They were for. merly as much Sovereigns as those who are now c alled Grand pokes, Or Oho sit upon the Thrones of Ger many. They then held immediately of the Empire. When deprived of their rights of sovereignty, and subjected to States which held of the Empire, they 'mere said to Tsi'Mediatised. By the Treaty of LOOr• many of the Spiritual Princes were that media. tised, and by the Act of the Rhenish Confederation in 1806 still more. Bonaparte observed no steady rule in depriving these smelt Princes of their sove reignty. All those who could furnish him with troops,' or were zealous to promote his views, were allowed to retain their power ; while States that bad nearly the same extent of territory, or who reigned over as many subjects, if they could not or would not supply equal contingents, were stripped of their sovereignty. There were by the Treaty of Luneville, and the Act of the Rhenish Confederation, about 80 Princes and Counts mediatised. Some of them had to the number of 80 or 100,000 subjects.— Most of them are in the States of Prussia, of Base. rig, of Hanover, of Wirtemberg, of Baden, of Darm stadt, anti the other minor States bordering on the Rhine. By the act of mediatisation, they were de. prived of their rights of sovereignty, of making laws, of raising revenues, of bowleg armies, of coining money, and ether privileges; end became merely the higher class of Nobility in the States in which they resided. By the Act of the German Confiders. Linn, concluded at the Congress of Vienna, in 1813, where they declared themselves illegitimately de prived of their rights, and reclaimed them, they were granted the right of equality of birth with Sovereign Houses, that of forming the musepriei. leged clpss, ;particularly in respect to esemption from lazes, the privilege of being only amenable to the higher tribunals, the 'species of the rights of civil and criminal justice in first instance, and the local police on their own estates. Some States, such as Bavaria, Baden, and Darmstadt, granted them every thing they could reasonably desire. Other States did not explain themselves in regard to them with sufficient precision, such as Preesia. Wortemberg alone refused to admit their pretensions ; and as it will be seen by. representation to the Diet, the House of Tour and lasi' has formally complained of this treatmenr. The sixth Article of the Act of Confederation Deems to be in their favour: it imports that the Diet, in deliberating on the organic laws of the Confeders 4;on, shall consider whether or not a collective voice should not be allowed to the Princes mediatisos. They have more than once provoked the discussion eilhout effect. It seems now beyond a doubt that they will reiterate their. petitions to the present Con.. gress, though it be difficult to conjecture the result of this step. Austria, from her interests, will most Is this ammo cannot be included the low ot hnrann blond, likely support their pretensions.
