"Your most humble,atict obedient servant, • " LE MARIOS." It is impOssible to peruse, without emotions ap proaching to indignation, the indecent and unwar rantable attacks made upon the PRINCE REGENT, iin an Opposition Paper which has hitherto been so feud in its praise of that Illustrious Personage• The only object 'dirt • the PRINCE could possibly have in view, was to promote the interests of the Empire which he is called upon to govern, and he certainly did elcleasons to form an unit ed Adminisil - ation, combining the Talents of •the great Parties in this country. His Royal Highness's efforts have been frustrated by the re fusal of Lords G:tty and GRENVILLE and their friends to take any ,share in the Councils of the country, unless they were invested with exclusive power. What their claims are to the exclusive pos session of Royal confidence it is difficult to con jeaure ; theiailure of every one cif their plans, when they. were in place, and of every one of their predictions, since they were dismissed, is surely not calculated to excite a very high opinion of their s-- Welty as statesmen. The confidence of the public Aar the Parliament they do not, even in their most Vapouring moments, pretend to possess; -surely then 'it is rather too much for 'them not only„to claim the. exclusive Government of the country, but to make a previous stipulation 'with the _PRINCE RE CENT, that he shall give his sanaion to a measure uhieh has experienced the decided disapprobation of Parliament. That the Party are 'very angry at. ,be-. jug suddenly and disagreeably awakened from their golden dreams we can 'easily conceive; but it is neither decent nor grateful for them to "vent :their 4 , upon the Illustrious Personage at the head.ot the Government. 1 hey may, without impropriety, .4aSe their opponents tor t being so insolent a s t o succeed, w.here the Party had predicted they would . 141 ; they may even (to adopt Mr. Fox's expression) - vilipera the country for being insensible to their merits ; but they cannot, • without the greatest iiiotation of decorum 'and of crynsistency, censure th e oonduci,of that Prince whom they profess.ed 11°t Only the duty due to him as the representative of the Sovereign, but the attachment of friendship. Will it, can it be believed, ttrat the very persons who, till within these, few hours, have been praising, and .Justly praising, the sound unde'rstanding and exalted sentiments of the 'PRINCE REGENT, should this day spzak of his letter idsuch terms as these?—" The letter, therefore, of the PRINCE, cannot have pro ceeded from his own honourable mind it 'Must have been hastily and incautiously adopted; at rlfe Suggestion of some complaisant simpering parasite,' or soine wavering, mean-spirited, time• Serving poli tician." The only comment we shall make upon this passage is, to quote one from the same Paper 'of lait year, when the PRINCE was on the point of assuming the reins of G..vernwent. " His Royal Highness ought not to have to en counter, in his very outset, the effects of wilful and Malignant misrepresentations.—W e may see, from Me wanton iove6littes in the Newspapers, the'specieS' cif opposition that is to be set up to the Pt4seE'4 Government ; but IA hich, we trust, the gcnercins feelings of . the i3ritish People will treat with the contempt witich,icurrility merits."

By the rules of the Academy, the Professor of Architealure is , required '' to point out to the Students ill th it art 'the beauties and defeats of Celebrated works;" and hence Mr. SOANE appeaii tO hate considerea it - as his duty to animadvert upon the works of con tern. porary. Architects, ,as well as Upon she produc tions of former periods. With this interpret itioti hf the rale in question, he introduced in one of his Lectures some comments upon the new Theatre in Covent-Garden, which had been held forth to the world as " a perfect model 'of Grecian architealure, correct in all its parts, and forming - the .most corn- Clete and magnificent Theatre in Europe," As . the Council of the Academy ~.• : inceived that Mr. SoA.i‘ta had given too wide a latitude to the rule in question, and that comments upon the works of living artists could only tend to engender jealoutieS 'and animo- Sitieqv they passed a resolution, after the delivery of this Leclure .

There was 3 very numerous and respeatable attendance of members. It is need less'tci observe that the utmost harmony . revailed in a society established for the e?tpres's purpose of per petuating those principles by which alone the har mony of the Constitution can be preserved, and the independence and greatness of the United Kingdom be maintained.

Before dinner, the Club proceeded to the eleaion of new Members, when several Candidates were ballotted' for and admitted ; and we are most happy to learn that the Club has attained that degree o? stability and extension, which tends to confirm the pairt,,tic hopes of• Mr. PERCEVAL,. that it will form a rallying point for the - Friends of the Constitution in- the hour of national danger. CITY BUSlNESS.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor held a _Court of Common Council, at which the Committee for General Purposes presented.a.Report for builJing a new Staie Coach, agreeably to a draw ing approved by them, for the sum of 5000 gui neas. When a long debate took place as to the' 'practieabtlity of repairing the .presetit coach.—On the part of the advocates for. a new coach, it was urged that the old one was in such a rickety state it could not, with safety, turn at certain -corners "of the . streets ; that it was become necessary for a man to walk along each side to keep the doors shut ;' and that it would be less expensive to buy a new coach, than be expending large sums annually in repairing the old one ; and, lastly, that a new coach could be had for about 50001. whereas the old one, which was made in 176c2, cost a sum of 75001. It was finally referred to the Committee to obtain es timates accordingly, and lay the same before the CoUrt for further consideration. The sum of 30001. was unanimously voted to the Treasurer of • Bridewell and Bethlehem ,Hospi tali, as the gift of the .Court towards the building a new. Hospital, for Lunatics, in St. George's-fields. Messrs. • Langton, Dixon, Kirby, and . White, were elected Coal -meters, and Mr. ,Bickerstaif a Corn -meter, in trust, for the City, for four years. -A Petition was .presented from the Contractors for the Lock, &c. at Teddington, for a clause to be inserted in the Bill now before Parliament, for fur ther improving • tie navigation, for allowing th e m a remuneration in •consequence of 'the very he . avy losses sustained by them, by reason of their, con tratt. No other business•ot importance occurred. ANCIENT MUSIC.—The season of this old and ex-:ellent Concert commenced on Wednesday last.
