William Thorn, V lyaacputk- D(.44 3 and slopteller, The Opposition Writers seem determined not to understand the statement which has been made recipeeting the Catholic Question ; but at the same time they do not hesitate to load Mr. PERCEVAL with all manner of abuse, for the determination which has been adopted by the ParticE REGENT'S Government. This is not very candid • tasit is consistent with the usual conduct of y, we are not disposed to find much fault i them. The fact is, that the Catholic Question is s!:11 to be considered as a Government one-; bur di the same time, any person, who.has alr , .auy pledged himself upon the Catholic Question, and who may form a part of the Administration, will •be con sidered as perfectly at liberty to vote in conformity to that pledge. This is the statement which the Opposition say they cannot understand ; but they are very much alarmed, lest the Catholics of Ireland should be imposed upon and deluded by this arrangement. They seem 'dreadfully alarmed lest the discontents of the Catholics should subside ; and, therefore, like gorid patriots, request of Them not to be satisfied. The Roman Catholics we should think, see, with etnolions bordering upon contempt, the coar, , e and clumsy orfiti , tigness with which the Oprosition are thrusting thems -iv s forward as their advocates, and endeavouring to force themselves into power by their means. The Duchess of Yonic left town on Monday for Windsor, to cane with the (~,tu E.:EN, it being the Duke of CAMBUIDGE'S birth day. Yesterday Mr. PBRCEVAL, Mr. SHERIDAN, and the JUDGE ADVOCATE, had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carhon-house. . Yesterday morning Ensign DUKE:MELD arrived at the Office of the War Department, in Downing street, from the Isle of France. Capt. GUBBINS, of the 24th regiment, arrived at the same place with dispatches from Calcutta. Monday night about eleven o'clock, the Duke of YORK arrived at York•house, St. James's, from the celebration of the Duke of CAMBRIDGE'S birth-day, at Windsor, when in stepping out of his carriage, he sprained his right ancle. Yesterday he was well enoch, with the assistance of a stick, to go in his carriage to Carbon-house., On Sunday the Rev. Dr. JACKSON, Head of Christ Church College, Oxford, was consecrated Bishop of OXFORD, at the Palace, Lambeth, by his Grace the Archbishop 01 CANTERRIJRY. INTERESTING ACCIDENT.-Yesterday afternoon, about ten minutes after four o'clock, the travelling chaise of k:..r Royal Highness the Princess CHAR LOTTE 0( WALES broke down in Whitehall, nearly opposite the mansion of Lord CARRINGTON. It was drawn by four horseg, with two postilions, and two out-riders.. The accident took place in consequence of the pin of the fore belt giving way ; the chaise was not overturned, but was thrown in a position inclining forwards. Her Royal Highness, who was attended by Lady De CLIFFORD, did not seem in the least alarmed, still less hurt by an accident, which otherwise, might have been produaive of se rious effeas. She retained the most dignified corn posure, and remained with her Noble Attendant in the carriage, observing with complacency the loyal and ardent gaze of numbers, who were fixed no less by the fine expression of her blooming and ingenu ous countenance, than by the lustre of her exalted rank ! Several minutes elapsed, when a barouche and four arrived from 'Warwick House, into which her Royal Highness and Lady De CLIFFORD imme diately removed, . and the carriage pr,:ceeded rapidly towards Westminster-bridge. The Princess wore a large mantle of purple shot silk, and her hair dressed, without a cap. It haling appeared in several' of the Public Prints that Mr. WALSH had received the PRINCE RE' GIStfS pardon, We.think it right to let the public know open what grounds that pardon has been granted.—Mr. WALSH having been convicted at - the Old Bailey of the offence with - which he was charged, subjed to the opinion of the Judges upon the question of law; whether the offence was a fe lony or not, and the Judges having decided that the offence was not a felony, it was necessary to get. tid of the conviction, which could only be done by the Royal pardon. This - has necessarily been the prac tice similar cases. On Saturday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, the neigl3botrhood of Windsor was visited with a-most dreadful storm, accompanied with vivid flashes of lightning, and very loud claps of thunder, in the course of which a fire meteor descended on the boat-house, in the occupation of Mr. Carter, at Windsor-bridge, and in a few minutes after, the whole was burnt to the ground: The alarm of the inhabitants for the safety of the adjoining buildings, was very general and great ; the tempest continu ing with unabating fury, the scene assumed a most terrific appearance. The deluge of rain which fell, prevented the extension of the fire, which was for tunately got under without doing much more da mage. ROBBERY.—This morning, between five and six o'clock, some villains cut open the shutter of Mr. BADCOCK, bookseller, Queen's-Head Passage, which is less than four yards from the Watch-House of Farrin E ,din Within, near Newgate-street ! The proper y stolen consists mostly of prayer-books and clgoich LS. Aa R I au -- 3 AVaterforcl. Du e- -T Malta, C uerAtey, i jersey, T .Brazils. f .;;TO C I, S.

OSBOURNE, the First Lieute nant of the Royal Marines, ,was returning on board the ship Sarah, in Yarmouth Roads, his hands being benumbed with cold, he requested to be hoisted up in the boat; a rope was sent down with a bow-line knot, to put round him for fear of an accident, but this he had twice declined. He was then hoisted up along with two boys, w,lati had been left in it to fix the tackles ; but when .nearly up, the stem ring of the boat drew out, and in consequence thereof, Mr. OSBOUBNE was prei:ipated into the sea; and the tide running very strong, he was instantly carried away, and never seen after.

The child was seized by some agents of Savary, the Po lice Minister, and has disappeared with them. A proces venial, with the particulars of this event, was sent by Josephine's order to Fouche; and, being intercepted, occasioned the fall of this favourite.— The present Empress, instead of one son, was deli ve►ed of twins, both boys. He who stewed less healthy was seiztd by Napoleon himself, but whe ther t.o be destroyed at once, or to be preserved as a future recruit for the Buonaparte dynasty, etas not known to any body but to his lather, and perhaps to Savary, the perpetrator of all Buonapaite's cruel deeds, and the confidant of must of his dark and se cret enormities. It is also said, that in a dispute with the Empress, the Queen of Holland told her to her face, that the: baby, King of Rome, was not the true heir of the throne of France. Josephine having an elder son, at whose birth she herself was present." This anecdote, according to our narrator, finds be lievers in all persons in France, who detest Bona parte, and who constitute the great majority of the French nation. We hear the Quadruped Proprietors have com pletely succeeded in their demand for an increase of salary, Mr. ASTLEY observing at the sane time, that the prices paid for adrnissiou to his theatres were much lower than the prices paid for admittance into that theatre which had latterly been in the habit of engaging such quadruped actors; but that he (Mr. ASTLEY) had not the least doubt, that his Right Hon. and dearly beloved cousins JOHN and Lady BULL, would amply make up the additional sum to be paid, by nightly filling the Pavilion Theatre to the very corners. PREIVCFI PAPERS, A, regular set of Monitors, to the 22d instant, inclusive, have been received ; diey are perfedly silent respealing the affairs of the Peninstila.. GIRONNE, FEB. 6.--The army of Catalonia con tinues to obtain adVantages. The following is an extra& of a letter from Arens del Monte, date 4 Feb. 4 : The division entered Mataro on theulat The English then anchored in the Road, and for upwards of 24 hours, continued firing on a town belonging to their ally. They did little injury to the troops, but considerable. &image to the houses and some of the inhabitants ; among them e;glit women were killed. This atrocity ought to be made know n to Europe, and the Commander of the Blake de voted to eternal infamy ; there was in his conduct equal cowardice and barbarity ; for 'whilst he fired on the town, which could not answer him, he al— lowed us to establish the battery of Mong - at, where some cannon were placed. The Catalonians were indignant at it, and at each discharge furiously ex claimed, .‘ the Traitors the Traitors !' " MELAUS attempted to molest us, but he was briskly repulsed with the loss of some men trade prisoners, and a great number killed among the latter were several Officers, and the notoci Colonel of Culiassiers JALous. Thus, in a few days, the enemy has lost three Colonels, CRAFT, RED:NG, and JALOUS. " MELAUS WES come up _with in a formidable. positions behind the ravine of St. Vincent, Geheral LAMARQUE manoeuvred on his left to turn the ene my's position; who dared not to .wait the attack. He has been driven from the position of Arens del Monte, and pusued across the mountains to Linas. The 3d and 23d light infantry distinguished them selves in these different atfaiis. " The Chief of the Staff, General of Brigade, (Signed) , " Baron DE PLACTSONNE." VIRNUA, Faß. 9.—Letters from Bucharest, of the 25th tilt. contain the_following details:— " Lieutenant-General MARKOFF arrived here ther day before yesterday, as have likewise several supe rior Officers of the army. This circumstance has given rise to a report of the recommencement of hostilities, and is strengthened by the stagnatiors which reigns in the negotiations, and the order for cantoning the corps of CRASSA . N OGLER more in iho rear. Shortly after the arrival of the last Courier from St. Petersburgh the Plenipotentiaries 11;4d a conference on. the 12th, but they 'facti.e riot met since that epoch, and appear to be waiting for flesh instructions from their Cow ts." NAPLES, FEB. 4.—There is forming, by order of the King, a camp in the neighbourhood of this capi tal, to exercise the different troops in military ma . - nceuvres.

VIENNA, FEB. s.—lt is reported that the Rus' sians and Turks cannot agree respealing the future fate of Servia. The Russians also deinand sou)* places which the Turks absolutely will not cedei so that their differences increase rather than approach towards a settlement. VIENNA, FEB. 9.—According to the latest in telligence from Constantinople, opinions are ex tremely divided upon the question of Peace: of War. In the mean time the Government treats every thing relative to this sqbjett with t.tic: greatest mystery.—A categorical reply from Peters burgh to the last propositions of the Port if expeaed. The English Minister, CANNING, uses every exertion to obtain cone& information rela tive to the negociations, but inefßatually ; he can learn nothing. The Porte continues its preparations for war. The Ex-Captain Pasha, HAsEz A L I, is to command the army collected at Schumla. He has set out with a corps of Janissaries from Con.. s purpose, which will form Adrianoplethntie for, ai This junction with other corps there as" sembled.

Constan tinople enjoys the utmost tranquility ; the inhabi tants of that capital; as well as those of the -pro vince, shew much att chment to the Ottoman Go vernment. COPENHAGEN, FEB. 7.—We learn , from Jutland that every exertion, that the weather will permit, is making to save the cordage of the vessels lost upon that coast. On the 30th ult. a brig of war apperaed, very near the wrecks, for the purpose, it is supposed, of setting fire to them,. but the wind and high sea prevented this being carried into effea. NAPLES, FEB. s.—We learn by letter from Cab bria, of the 2 s t of last month, that a dreadful tem pest which took place during the night of the itotit, has been fatal to a number of the enemy's vessels,. which were upon our coasts, and of which die fragments thrown upon the shoe, show !be
