" We this day give a correct copy ..of the Protest ?f ell the Male Branches of the Royal Family against t h e R eg ency proceedings of Mr. PERCETAL.—If we' nsy judge' from the venal and servile Print's that . s d n icate his cause, this Protest hes severely glilleil I the Premier. They ask, with a revolutionary and: j • cidno air and tune of contempt, who are the p r i n ces, those Fatneatces, Emote, and Wt e mote, that dare to find fault with the great Mr. PERUSAL in this way ; and do not, like ether Peers, nark their disapprobation, if they entertain any, in 1 the usual way upon the Journals of the House of Lords? To this audacious insult to the RoyalDukeS, is shish is displayed a degree of ignorance only to be equalled by its insolence, weanswer, the Royal Dukes stood on the present question in a situation iluferent from that of common Peers. The Crown id England is an hereditary Crown in the House or Bseestetca, of which those ERNESTO and FREDE RICKS are principal Members, and the SOVRREIGN is not only their King, but their Father-4 person towards whom they have not only political, but na brat duties to perform. But if thrrie Royal Dukes be of on weight or importance in the Stoic (as the J. uhw and Rtvolutiouary Priiits which advo. cue the cause of the Premier assert), how came Mr. Fuegos'. and his Colleaguee.to . cultivate the friendship of the Duke of CUNSERLAND, to attach themselves to him, and to besiege Ica with Leery species of adulation?—How came to-y to devote themselves to her Royal Highness the Priker,..4 of WALES-•-tO encourage and peruke sf lute festivities at Blackheath, by whit li she in curred debts beyond her means, which his Royal Hiehowis the Pi inee of WALES (whose health they did cot even condescend to dri nk at those routs and parties) was afterwards obliged to ply ?—We repeat, iu arswer, that the Royal Family are of more weight in the public estimation than that, of any ortapary Peer, and that the Royal Dukes are on the present occasion more interested than any of Mr. PITT'S or Mr. PINGO VAL . * Lords! Io consequenie °lithe receipt of the above ex planation from Mr. GALLATIN, a depittation - of 'inesOititChiditig to the I.luited litittis 'waited on Saturday spoil Marquis VlTH.Laster. They might have spared themseliies the trouble ; for it traits pired in the debate in the House 'of Lord's on Thingdny, that his Lordship 'his' not ventured to execute any of the duties of the high department whiCh bellT4, since the indisposition 'of •His MA. JEITY was ascertained. It we. the intention of the gentleinen den'uled (had they Sibtaided - en inter view) to have informed is Lordship, that under the severity of the regulations abotit to be adopted in America, they must necessarily counterinettd all orders given to manufacturers, and unload each vessels u have been potialty loslfn, rather than in cur the risk, of whici. they Mail been an ktrislichly forewarned, unless eom, aS.U . rAIiCCS (nubile safely given to the merchants, thatlhe intentiois Of Govern ment was to protect Britiitt properly; by some mo• difirations in the Orders in Council and the system of Blockade. It is expected that the plan of a limited Regency s'l be brought forward by Mr. PERCSTA Li this :ng, in the Horne of Commons.—The public i , ,:teitly dissatisfied at the idea; and we owe that v r contemplate nith indignation the spectacle of a , Pnnce of W•LKII bound to chains to the triumphal aro( that aspiring gentleman !.—Bets ran high yes. terd.ry at the west end of the town, that the Premier sill he left in a minority ; and we believe that even his friends expect nothing but defeat, although they consider him too far advanced to recede with deenr. .—His only chance of extrication fro it his pervlieing and awkward state hes in the King's recovery, and delay is thus become the only game winch he can play with any hope of success.—We trust, however, that the Country is now alive to a sense of its danger ; and that all grunt and virtuous men, rallying round toe Constitution, will suffer no iiiroeds to be made upon it, by unnecessary delay filling up the deficiency that has too long existed in the Executive Power. The two following Queries lave been proposed to Nit. GALL arm. to which he has giveu the sub p.ird Answers : " lot, Whether goods shipped from Eogltod prior to the id of February next, but 'trivia l ; sub sequently thereto, would be subject to seizure, or admitted to an entry ?—And, tiny. Whether a veil sel with a cargo of British goods would be permit ted to cell within the water, of the United State, fat orders, or to learn the continuance of the Nun livercounie ?" In answer to the first. Mr. GiLIATIN stated, Out " all good.' imported from the dominions of Greet Britain, and arriving within the Unveil Sc tea ishseipielabte thelld of February, will become for- Gant, if Omni Britain shall not on that day have revoked bet Ediets.—lt follows, that if no know- Prize of such revocation is known here by the td of F"brtlery, rods imported as aforesaid will be sii!ijeet to seizure."

To this requisition, we understand. the Leis MATO& has not return: dan .liPlWrf. The esuse of siody is a doubt in his mind with respect is 'tit le- gittm■cy of the call. The Corporation of London, it is very true, as such, never dies, the Omsk of Aldermen being always .- in existence ;• bit the Common Council are elected soneolly, and those disposed to gumtion their 'poWer sully 'say, that until sworn in they are not ;coneveterit to set. Now the Common Council subsiribiog the resent requisition were only elected • few days ago, and are not yet sworn in. We fear, therefore, that if a meeting shall be held pursuant to thin re. qii:c.tion. the friends of Mr. Peacevat,, emitting the merits of the case, will apply themselves to this objection ; an•-'. if it should prove fetal, they will then come forward in their bread and swagg. ling way, and boast. contrary to the truth, that tie City of London has divided in favour of this little Gentleman, Uptlll the' principle of the question upon which they were conceit• d.
