It was agreed, how ewer, that an official letter should be presented Mr. PlttamsY. Then follows this letter, dated the 2d January, 1810, which is very long, and relates chiefly to a history of Mr. 'Sack ,s's conduct, and concludes with a demand fur recall. The neat is the reply of the Marquis it ,,,, s suly, which we give at length, and 'on ihich 11SS MAJESTY consents to recall Mr. JACK.. )1 1; at the acne time that this Minister is ac gained of all intentional offence. It goes further, for it makes this concession, while, almost in the same paragraph, His MAJEcrst is made to com plain, that the American Government, in it. conduct to Mr. JACLSON, thus recalled. had nut conducted itself in a proper and respectful manner to WS MAJESTY.

A rumour prevailed, yesterday, that a duel ha I taken place in the morning. between Lord CAS.

We could not learn, upon the move aiiXious inquiry, that it was entitled to any credit. The door of thh Baronet's house in Piccadilly was beset in the evening with Crowds of people, anxious to hunt the particulars ; bid they were assured by the potter that there wbs not the slightest foundation for the report. Another rumour was also in theta lation, stating, that the Baronet had determined to withdraw ainiself entirely from all political hfraira,and public pursuits, and to ratite into private hie. The delicate state of his health givev some roasistency to this report.—At all events it is more probable than the story of the duel. • A mertiog of the General Committee of the Ca tholics of .

'Si . ti. LID ate °visas. This was au argument on a demurrer. It appeared that his Royal Highness leased some laud to the Defendants for 99 years, or three lives, its the •Duchy of Cornwall. ore the river Tamer; they built wharfs and dock, into the river. The Royal Plaintiff claimed the right of soil from high to low water mark, and tiled an information by hie AttOr !ley-benne, against the Defendantii, for infringe. ,ment and intrusion, to which they demurred ; first, on the ground that his Royal Highness was met toe titled to file ass inforinatimi by his Attoitity-Ge;ie 7 eel, that privilege htlonging to the Crews' aloue. Se condly, that he could not prrsemalty life • fit, us. lr the law of the land, if he wished . to dispossess, he ought to have biOught an ejectment. Thirdly. that the r:glitef the soil was not vested in his Royal Highness, but in the Defendants; and any ion; provetuent Made on the premise+ were forhin Royal I lighness's advantage; as, at the expiration or the kettle, they would come into his possession, and that filing the information was an net of oppression. The Sortetrott-Gerreaat., on the part of the Royal Plaintiff, addressed the Court; and was followed by Sir Arnie* PtGooTT. He stated, that if there Was any thing in the information 'het . ought to be answered. Or any part of the relief preyed for that ought to be granted, the. demurrer could not be upheld for a moment. The allega tions stated in the iuforroatioss were not under the eunsidcrution of the Court. as to their merits, or what credit should be given •them ; the there question was, whether any of theM deserved to be answered? The Duchy of Cornwell had been granted to the Heir Apparent ever since the reign of Edward the Third, with all its rightrand ap partenatices; the lands between high suit lo water-mark were as much his property as any other part 'of 00Q—even the very waters of the Tamer werehis property. His Royal Highness lets to the Defendants a certain proportion ed land, and they thud. proper to erect hurl dings or wharfs, where they were not entitled, but had infringed on the property of another; and he being injured, takes the only remedy in his power, that which the law authorises him, to apply to their Lord ships, by way of information, in which he pears to be put in possession of Ills property, that had been su iubinged on, and to be put in receipt of the rents and pridit-. This could nut be deemed op priss-iun. He was ree.iiiiinended to do this by hie loafed advisers—these who were appointed the It could tint treed to harass any oft His Majesty's subjects. fit the in - Wiser' were answer. able and r.spunsilde to the Crowe, the Prince, and the Public, for thi it conduit. The DefearLuts could not sillier any loss; fir, if this ititiriiiiitron WIS improperly bri.u..dit, they had • suffierent or. enrity fur their cos s. Hia Royal Highness had tittered to give the D. fat hints a gratuitous lease of all the erections. It was licit emoluuseut be *aught fur. but 4, guatd his right. This was rejected by the Defendants, and the Itoyel Plaintiff was forced to tome into Court to suppor t his right and dignity. They say the sod is Rintst Hieimese brings his suit to try the question ; but. instead of answering it, and joining issue. they demur; then ell delay remained attached to them; his Royal Highness held the duchy of Cornwall independent of the Crown ; it was ins by fee simple; it was not to be suppod that he.could manage his estates and Undo as other Noblemen did, by. stewards sad loath& ; lie had an establish:aent formed buy law for the management of his revenue ; he had • Surveyors General, au Attorney-Genend, a SolicitorsGene eel, a Treasnivr ' and even • Privy . Council, and a public building for the inferior officers of the duchy of Cornwall, to trausact its ditties. No office under Ilia Majesty's Government was more strictly at tended, or better regulated. He could not lease au acre of lauds without the approbation of his Privy Ce until. He also had a great oriel. on James I. coming to the Crown, in 1663; sad after the death of Prince Henry, there was • proceeding which took place on the part of Prince Charles, in IGI3, an account of which was published by Arthur Collins; it was • very scarce book, there never having been more than one edition of it pub lished. It set forth that the proceedingetnok place relative to the disposition of some Baronies; end a queamo arose, whether Prince Charles, being the gil Sou, was entitled to the Duchy, as the Patent stated thtt the brat begotieu son should he endowed with it ? but it was decided in favour of Prince Charles, that even he had a right over the river. This establishment was necrsiory for the Heir Appa rent. and also for the interest of the Crown, for atter his decease the interest returned to the Crown. and remained until there was another Duke of Cornwall in being. Suppose then the litug io France, fighting the battles of his country ; could it be conceived that lie could attend to his estates like other Noblemen ? and if it was necessary fur the Crown to be thus guarded, it became incum bent that the Duke of Cornwall should have the same protection, for the 'veered of the Crown was involved in bin. No man could state that any oii pression had taken place in this case ; no per-ou who knew or ever heard the character of the great personage,_ would believe that he could hr an op pressor. His great mind was above little considera tions ; it roared where it ought. lie knew he was a Police. arid supported his dignity ; always ready to become the protector of a sulijevt, instead of being his oppressor. to Queen Mary ' s or Eliza betles reign there was not a Duke of Cornwall. for they had not any issue, and the interest of the duchy was vested io the'Crown. In the reign of Charles 11. tnere was an information tiled by the Attoruey-General of Use Crown, organist persons holding leases in the Duchy. for itifringensents and intrusions; and why by him ? because there was not a Duke of Cornwell la existence., and there could not be his Atterney-Generel. In 1744, the Duke of Cornwall filed an information, by his ilittesuer- Ge n er.k, before Lord Chief Baron Parker ;in 1742, after the death of the Prince. Sir Dudley Ryder, the Attorney-Gene foe the Crown, took op the era proceedings that had been commenced by the late Priuce's Attorney-(neutral, Could it be supposed that es great and learned • man as this would leave acknowledged the right of the Duke of COrDWllii, in has -111 nit Attoruey-4earral !

This, iu his opinion, was sufficient to entitle the Royal Pluititdi to a decision against the demurrer. as it esfaliliiihed that the P. - inee was jusiißed in filing the inforination by his Attorney-General.
