' '‘" • . has been ever since motionless, and speechless, sad her dissolution has been every moment apprehended., It was . coisfidently resumed, indeed, that it would have taken place yesterday, 'and many persons read The Gazette of last right, with'an anxious end inquiring eye, expelling to find it announced there. Her days, however, are numbered, and it is not supposed possible that else:can outlive the present. Htr complaint is said to be the King's evil, and is pronounced incura'ile. Mrs. ParliaMent is young, handsome, and well gifted, and her constitution promised a length of years. Indeed, we haVe sel dom seen one of the family of fairer promise, or greater expeaation—but as envy ever attends on merit, she has not escaped o'oloquy and detraftion. Among other faults imputed to her, she has been charged with too great a partiality for Lord Gren ville and Viscount Howick; and it is not a little re markable, that Mr. Perceval and Mr. Canning, the very persons who have obje,tled to the goad woman on that account, are the very men who have taken the most improper liberties with her. Mrs. Parlia ment was free and unfettered ; she was at liberty to offer her heart and her hand where she pleased; and the world will probably be of opinion with us, that in preferring either of these Noble Lords to either of these Gentlemen, she gave a striking proof of her discernment and good taste. Her partiality for these Noblemen, therefore, so far frem being just ground of censure, redounds to her honour.— In the eyes of Mr. Canning a id Mr. Perceval, those less favoured lovers, it was a crime never to be for given, and they, accordingly, took steps to compass her death. The former of these Gentlemen, in deed, &Cruelly threatened her life a few nights ago, in a public meeting in St. Stephen's Chapel, con sisting of not less than five or 600 people. Some say they have endeavoured to effort their purpose by instilling poison into the ear, a hint which they probably took from the tragedy of Harslet; others, by stopping her month, a common practice wiih barbarous violators of female chastity. But, how. ever this may be, most certain it is, that they have pra2ised against her life, and that the complaint which we have mentioned, would never have proved mortal, were it net for their machina tions. As an additional proof of their malignity, she will be buried in canvass incteed of woollen, lake His Majesty's other subjeas. Dyiog without issue, the succession to her tides and estates, which are of great value, will be sharply contested, and the struggle will afford a rich crop to the Gentlemen of the long robe. ALARIWINU CIRCII.II3IifPICE. '7Ak . Muter Ilession, the infant and only chili of that rood Lady, the thi:d Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great hrtain and Ireland, was seised no flatatday .vith a sullen and dangerous illness. This ereat, becoming generally known on Sunday, p-oluzed great ennsternarion, anxiety, and alarm, lancing the ounserons conneSioes of the patient; most of them persons of the first rank, fortune, and respeaahility, in the country. . Espressos were, in consequener, sent off in every direttion. to apprise the most distant relatives and friends of this interest ing infant, with its alarming situation. On Monday rm.rning all hopes had entirely vanished; and about three o'clock Master Seuion drew his last breath. :the melancholy event was formally announced by the King's Physician, wbo attended him during his whole illness, amida his sorrowing friends and at tendants. This premature death is the more lA. imentable, as Master Seuion was considered at his birth 46 fine and healthy a child as the family of the Parliaments had been ever blessed with. He was a lively bustling little fellow, constantly in motion. and very amusing in conversation.— He was also of a very amiable disposition. liberal to the poor, and anxious to relieve their wants. The African Negroes, whom he restored to liberty, will bless his memory ; and the Catholics and Dissenters of Great Britain. whom he loved as brothers, will never cease to lament his loss. Poor Mrs. Pattie enent, the mother of this promi.ing babe, it was not e5p.:44.1 would long survive this cruel stroke. She LONDON, WEDNESDAY. APRIL Q 9. Earl 0 Nem. and the Marquis of DIOGIIEDA, are to be the new Join'.Pr•stmest;rs.G:neral of Ire land; and the Hon. Gaoitoa k ewe, it is said, has deciined to stand for the University of Dublin, and will be placed at the head of the Customs or Excise. The recal of the Earl of HA ka I NOTON, from his riturtion as Commander-is• Chief in Ireland, is im puted entirely to military "toroth.. Being of higher rank in the army than the Duke of RICK. was.n, who is only a Lieutenant-General, his Lord sl.ip could not receive orders from his Grace. The brig Edward arrived on Monday at Dover, hum Mrs' in Norway. after a passage of eight days. At the date of her sailing from that place, no account bad been received of any bat le having been fought subsequent to the battle of 1 ylau. The Gazette of last night did not contain the Pro clamation for the Dissolution of Parliament. His HAJSSTY will come to town this day, and it is ex peßed that the Proclamation will be signed, and posted up in the most public parts of the metropolis, is the course of the evening. Some of the Papers have not hesitated to attribute this extraordinary measure to a wish to stop the Financial Committee in their inquiries into the public expenditure.— That the Committee met on Monday. for the purpose of presenting a R:port. and were prevented from doing so by the Prorogation, is a fail which we do not dispute. The Re port, we understand, states in substance. that a sum of 19,8001. had been applied by a late Paymaster of the forces to his own use, and that this fact came to the knowledge of his Colleague, the Right Honourable GEORGIC Rose, who did not give any direction to the Clerks en t!ie subject, and that the Committee had discovered other and great abuses in the public money concerns, on which they should shortly proceed to report. While, however, we assert this fail, we canaot believe that it is the determining cause of the dissolutioa. A dissolution of Parliament could only procure a respite for the part'es likely to be affeCted by the Report , not an acquittal. We cannot suppose, that any Adminis tration would be weak enough to Satter themselves . . that public inquiry could be completely stifled by such means. Thy badness may be revived in the 'next Session. We therefore still adhere to the opi nion . which we first veatured to give upon this sub jed. Ministers mild not carry on the public b6i ness with such a powerful opposition against them ; and they had no other alternative but to resign, or prccure a friendly Parliament. What grounds they may have laid to secure this result—what prepara tions they have made to facilitate the elation of their friends—we do not pretend to know. As, however, there appears to have been some abrupt ness in determining upon this course, some are of opinion that they had not time to martlrc their plans, and that their schemes cannot be deeply and extensively laid. Any defea in preparation, they may, however, flatter themselves, will be compen sated by the religious clamour which they have ex cited; a support of very uncertain duration. It has, indeed, already began to subside ; and though there is in all great cities a great proportion of people *hose interests are promoted by a General Eleftion, the Dissolution is no: likely to become a popular measure. About four o'clock, yesterday noon, a dreadful fire broke out in the Horse Barracks at Windsor. When our account came away, it was limning fu rintbly. The military were exerting themselvea with great spirit to extinguish the flames. His MAJESTY will come to town this day. Yesterday the Marquis of HUNT LILY. Lord CATII C•ILT, and Sir A. PaosT, had audiences of the Duke of `rusk, at his Office; afterwards his Royal Highness held a public day. The Bishop of Lincocs's vote, in favour of the Marquis of ST/LISS/WS motion, speaks volumes. Who, but this venerable Prelate, was the depo sitory of Mr. PITT's dying sentiments ? What, then, can those men, wbu call themselves the Schiroi of ?di, say, when their master's master thus declares the opinion of his illustrious pupil ? NVhat Prelate more learned, mote orthodox— who a more strenuous defender of the Esta blished Churcle--than the Bishop of Li scout ? Let not, then, the ill-founded ungenerous clamours of Mr. PSICSVAL, which have a manifest tendency to revive the riots of 1780, be suffered to mislead the multitude. _ _ _ We have undoubted authority to state that Lord MILTON will offer himself to the county of York, in consequence of Mr. FAWKES'S declining. Some of the eleElions in the Boroughs of the Horne Counties are expeecd to come on as early as Saturd sy next. Major-General Hoer was ()feted, and has re fused, the Barrack Master Generalship. We are sorry to hear that Lord Sr. Vtocatir Is so much indisposed as to be confined toi hi, house. Hir Lordship is afflided with a severe c.;11, a:companied with fever. Count WEDLLI.
