It is spirited, and quite in Unison. with the popular'. charafter of,the Piece, which was so well received, that it is to be repeated for the advantage of the Theatre. . One hundred and ten valuable horses, many of them stallions of the first breed and celebrity, se. leCted in various parts of this country, some Eng lish cows, a few dogs, and a number of form cocks and hens, were sent out to Russia in the Ficat which sailed,from Hull an,Sunday Ist. Dl Hi: Rod Ilighttrts the PRINCE of ssa, 'THE exalted rank, of your,Royal Highnesii your affedirso as a Son, y9ur duty as a Subject, and the high interest which yott must naturally take in the prosperity of the BritiehEitpire, to the Throne of which yoti are Heir Apparent, have no doubt led you to testify a more Out common interest in the miscondt k d with which a Noble, Lord, high in office and ioconfidence,,has been Outlet!, , On this occasion your. motives were undoubtedly of the purest nature, and merit praise ; by, Sir, you have ,nut lived till tlie preeent hour without:know. ing that deceit is often pradised towards Princes, and that the spirit of Party often. leads men astray— that the real and the apparent causes of action are oftirt #ery different,. and sometimes cliredly op. posite, and that men have been seen to unite in ef. tart, who were total ly different ,in in t e nt io n , I .should certainl y not deserve attention. were to have the impertinence to ,offer an apology for a breaCh of the Law, an abuse of Power, or the mean, poultry; and criminaloclevices of men in office, who fill their pockets from the coffers of the Public. I shall not even trouble your Royal Highness with the inquiry how far the imputed criminality is brought hobs, to the supposed Culprit. A matter of greater—of. fel' greater moment, and pne that more nearly concerns yoUr Royal Highness, is the objed of my address. In this case I have the.satisfadion to think that no person has better opporopities than your Royal Highness . of ascertaining the real circumstances to Which I am going to allude. The fidelity of your Father's confidential Servants cannot,to you be a matter of indiXerence ; hut in seeking to remove evil Councillors from his presence for ever, there are some considerations of the highest importance, that are carefully concealed from the view of your Royal Highness. You may probably recoiled, Sir, that it was by disgracing and degrading the Ministers of the un. fortunate Lours XVI. that his enemies made their first approaches towards attacking his Royal Person. Yoti have known, and honoured with your favour and friendship, Mons. De CALONXI, the Minister, in whose degradation there was a great similarity to that of the late First Lord of the Admiralty. The Government was represented as disgraced and de. graded.'--It became obnoxious to the People when those in place and power were treated as infamous.— CAisterie is now gone to another world ; but if your Roy al Highness does not recoiled the circum. stances and motives of his disgrace, you may be in. formed by His Royal Highness MoresiEUß l or by the PRINCI of PONDS, or any of those who knew What passed at Versailles during the last four years of the ancient Monarchy.—They will tell you the truth. Ask, Sir; of the French Nines, whether the Throne of France was not attacked by the degrada. tion of those who surrounded it t Whether accuse. tions were not fabricated, and faults exaggerated, fur the exress purpose of rendering the Govern_ ment despicable and odious ) Ask whether the pod and virtuotts did not unite their efforts to those of the must depraved of nankinti, Unconscious of what they were ultimately preparing to produce For the retoliatof Mont. Os CALciNs there was suilleiint reasons ; fur his ditkonoiir there was none—and certainly in this . last opinion your Royal Highness will agree. Your Royal Highness must long have known his innocence, otherwise you never could . have admitted him within the gates of your ?duce—Non would never have admitted' an infamous Charader to sit down at your table—niush less would you have sat down at his. If the clamour of a Nation, if removal from high official situation, with alt the marks of contumely and contempt, degrade the Minister, nine ever felt them more severely than did Mons. Da CALONNe— , He was the Lori MiLVILLIt of France--tarty it is scarcely possible even for malignity to attach to his Lordship an equal degree at culpability with t h at w hi c h was imputed to him, whom you have since honoured with your countenance. Can your Royal Highness account for the joy, the triumph, the pleasure, that were manifested by men professing to wish well to the Country, on finding that its confidence has been abused ? This, in other circumstances, would he a matter of serious regret—here it is, a matter of exultation. This ought to make your Royal Highness doubt; it ought to make you hesitate in giving your countenance to those violent measures now in agitation ; not that I accuse the persons who lead the way, of ,intentl. ing the evil that result from tin* measures which they wish to adopt; but they are not aware of the consequences themselves That I may not trouble your Royal Highness with arguments which I must use in another Letter, addressed to some of the best friends to the Govern. ment of England and the House of Brunswick,. I shall conclude with requesting you to use that good sense of which I know you are possessed, and to employ that -means of information that is within your reach, and you will find that the measures now adopting are very different in their real, from what they ate in their apparent tendency, and that they. should not have so high a sattaion as that given by a PRINCIt of WALES. • Your Royal Highness may'pethaps think that .I take a very great, and a very indecent liberty, in supposing that your understanding is capable of be. ing imposed upon ; but to be so has been the fate of the greatest Princes; and you well remember that the Great FRAIDICRICK of PROSsIA was imposed upon byVoLrAnts,l)tosanT, IYALAMIIIIRT,cOII. DOICcAT, and the whole Sc4t of the Enernits of Thranel. He was led to co.operate with them till he found that, in attacking the Ahar, they were undermining the Throne, arid their most ardent wish was to tee the last of Kitty :trait:led with lhe boilveli oft& latt'of Priests. That gicat Monarch, with all his known penetration, with his philoso.. phical and literary talents, was deceived forlltirty years by those whom he had honoured, rewaided, and protened ; and during the last fifteen years of his Reign he acknowledged the deception. After .such an example, it can be accounted no refi , !xitoi un the ju , igtrient or penetration of a Prince to d:• rived, and I hve that will prove my 01- csi , z - y Higitncto, and be considered as a prapf that n:itber tai,k cFin bt. titk:,aininse deceit.. i 3 r supposing for,nne Mon - lent - that nothing mare is iriCAnt titan. is expressed,. can it he &inbred that sitailar.„causes . will produce tiimilar.e#Fcel4 in _Eng,, land and„in .

There are now thousands eager for the day of battle, and „ready to let slip the dogs of wit-. they would persecute and destroy every thing that the appearance of Place or Pablie Emolument ; And they want but the countenance of a huni4ne and a magnanimous Prince to insure them success ;- but their designs are better known than they imlgine, and if they escape deteftio,n, it shall n o t a t l east b e owing to the negligence of London, April 23, 1,805. ARISTIDE% TILE MARQUIS OF LANSDOURE. TII late Marquis of LaNsnowtre was one of those charafters who distinguish themselves among their contemitareries by talents and acquisitiOns. We entered into the Army very early in life, and was at the memorable'Battle of Minden, He soon after turned his attention to . State Affairs, and hair. ing passed through the several gradationa,of ofii:e suitable to his rank and abilities, at length reached the acme of political ambition, and became Prime Minister of Great Britain. H e did n?)t remain long in office, for he never made, strung political attach ments, and had not therefor: the powerful support of a Party. Though his abilities were generally acknowledged, the general courtesy of his manners excited an opinion that he was too much of a States. man in private life, and that in all political arrange. ments he would be likely t o at te n d more to h is own interests than to forward those of any Patty with whom he might happen to be allied. Hence, though the various Oppositions which have successively- ap. geared since he engaged in political transa4tions were glad. to avail themselves of his Lordship's occasional support, they never considered him a.s firm in their cause, or as disposed'to become a ca'rt. sistent, member of their band. For.this reason he always remained aloof, and having once been driven from the Ministerial post, was beheld as one who was never likely to regain it. The charader of his Lordship's eloquence wit, rather diffuseness than solidity and precision, and his speeches Were sometimes prottaded to s uc h a length that it was difficalt to say what was his mediate purpose, as it was !a much overwhelmed by the number of topics which he introduced, arid the diversified expansion of his sulijea. The terns cit.. cwiton: has indeed been applied to his Lordship's oratory, and it may be deeMed its most appropriate charaderistic i hat it must be admitted that his speeches never were deficient in information, and that they were rendered interesting by agreeable narration and enlivening anecdote. The crest speech of his Lordship on mord is that in which htlahour. ed to strew the difference between hvgmeorr . soil Prerosative in its eff:cts upon the Constitution and, the National happiness ; but though he diseri. urinated bath with ingenuity and success, yet there was, in fad, nothing new in the .distindion, or in his manner of treating it. It may not be improper to mention that the Marquis of LANSDOWNE first introduced the word irciproritt into the English language. , It is a useful word, and has since been generally adopted, though it is not yet considered as legitimate by our nicer Philologists. The Marquis of LANIDOWMI was an accomplish. ed, if not not a profound, Scholar, and a liberal Patron of Literature. Dr. PRIESTLEY, was long favoured with his protelion; and unfriended genius never - made a fruitless application to his bounty,. Upon the whole there was much in the eharaeler of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE CO admire and tore. spe6l; and if he was never Much courted in polities, or much a favourite, with, the people, it must be re knowledged that he did not Stoop to those degrad.. ing arts by which popularity is too often acquired. He scorned to become a "'Pander to the bad-pas. sions of the multitude," by haranguing a senseless and bilious rabble in the public streets; end in pri vate life he maintained the dignity of his rank by hospitality and a laudable eountenance.of those Arts which polish and adorn society, and oh honour to mankind.
