SZ/LEM WAS DICERE FALSUM AUDbAI L 0 N 0 N, TCIESDA., JUNE 9, 1812. Lor(l3lolkis having failed in his efforts to form an Adminiitration, yesterday waited upon his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT, and hav ing stated the insuperable difficulties he had to encounter, advised his Royal Highness, under all the circumstances of the case, 'Co have recourse to Lord LIVERPOOL and his Colleagues. With this , • advice his Royal Highness complied; land Lord LIVERPOOL, in the (coarse of the afternoon, • kissed hands upon being appointed First Lord of the Treasury. Our Readers 'will perceive, by a reference to the Parliamentary proceedings, that a very interesting conversation took place in the House of Lords upon the late Negociations. We do not wish to aggravate the angry feelings which are unfortunately entertained, 'by entering into a premature discussion upon this subject. It is probable that all the documents relative to these various • Negociations will be laid before the public, and then the controverted points may be . ffrgued with accuracy and precision.—There is one point, however, which, in the present state of the case, we may consider as in disputably proved, and that is, that whatever dilaLlties may have impeded the Negociations froni•difference of political principles, from per sonal feeling, -or from points of etiquette among public .men, still the efforts of his Royal Highness 'to comply wLh the wishes of Parliament and of the country, have been incessant. There has been no reserve ort the part of, his Royal Highness ; the testimony of Lord MoiRA upon this point is in disputable. He declared yesterday in his place, ,in the House of Lords ; in -the strongest terms, that there was no reservation in the powers , which he had ,received from his Royal Highness to form an Administration. His Royal Highnesi has indeed shewn upon this occasion, that " he has no predilection 4 1 indulge, no resentment to gratify, no objects to attain, but such as are 'Com mon' to the whole Empire.". When the public recollect the manner in which his Royal Highness has been assailed for the last four months by the adherents of the Party, and the rancorous and in decent attacks which have been daily made upon . hins, they will be able justly .to appreciate the magnan;mity which has marked every part of his conduct. The appointment of Lord' LIVERPOOL to be first Lord of the Treasury has, of,cOurse, excited the displeasure of the Opposition Writers, and the patriotic declaration of Lord MoIRA, that " he should feel it his duty to support any body of men whom his itoygi Highness might choose to ap , point, as far as was consistent with tbose great political principles which he had always main tained in that House, and which he must always promote ,as far as his abty extended," will, if we are not much deceiver expose his Lordship to a similar misfortune. Lords ELDON and Li- VERPOOL have been selected as the peculiar ob jects of hostility, and,the supporters-of the Party, for wanf of argument, have descended to per sonal inode of attack.as inconsistent with the manners of Gentlemen, as it is with the gravity that:ought to belong to political discuS sion. The Public, however, will require some thing more than the fretful ebullitions of an angry Party to induce them to withhOld their confidence from the Administration appointed by the PRINCE llEcn:Nr, after all his Worts to form one upon a more extended scale, have been frustrated in so • extraordinary a manner. With respect to the actual state of arrange ments, we can assure our Readers, that nothing had been decisively settled at the time when this paper was put to press but, 'we know, that at that time, a meeting was sitting at Lord LlvEaPool.'-:, for the purpose of finally adjusting en Administration, which, we doubt not, will be completed this day. Whether Mr:CANNING has resolved to accept oilice, we cannot positi:siely say, but we know that •he is upon the best footing with Lord LIVEI:POOL, and we have rea son to believe that he will act towards his Lordship's Administration, certainly upon prin ciples which have the national welfare for their objects, and with the feelings of a friend, not with those of an euemy, or those of a neutral. Lord LIVERPOOL, we are persuaded, will most zealously and anxiously endeavour to full the wishe3 of the PRINCE REGENT, and we rely upon the good sense and public spirit of those who supported the measures of Mr. PER OX PAL, to give him a firm :and active ASSidunge, This morning a Malta Mail arrived. The fol lowing is the only intelligence it brings : GIBRALTAR, MAY 23.--The Dispatch le a cket, which was bringing the Malta Mails, was lost off Iqazara, on the 14th of last month ; crew saved, as well the correspondence, which has been brought by the Ruby. The only article worth noticing in the letters &oily Sicily is a report of the approach ing departure oldie Queen from that island. GIBRALTAR, MAY 16.—Extract of a' letter from Algesiras of 14th May :—SouLT continues in mo tion, without its being clearly understood what he is about. Vejer and Cases Vujas, have been re-occupied by an enemy's battalion, ,and this morning two hundred_ . of their horse made a re connoitring in the environs of Tarifa ; after push ing as far as Ojen, they have again yetired. General BALLESTEROS is gone to Los Barrios.— The 3d division which is here has remained the whole day drawn up on the heights of Calrario, and this evening re-entered the town. Some pre cautions taken by-our Government had excited a little - uneasiness, but the news of the enemy's re treat has somewhat allayed our apprehensions. NAY. 15.—Nothing new has occurred'. A party of Hussars of Castile, which the General yester day sent to time Venta de Ogen, for the purpose . . of reconnoitring, fell in with some of the ene my's scouts, whom they engaged, killed the Clip tain commanding, and,have brought his epaulettes and five prisoners to head-quarters. GIBRALTAR, MAy 23.—Lord Wellington was expected to arrive ati3adajoz between the 12th and 15th inst. The private letters mention his Lordship's determination of sending a considera ble body Of troops into this province, and it is added; that preparations on the Most extenS i l ve scale are making.for this new campaign both at Bada joz and Elvas. The Spanish troops in our neigh bourhood, are understood. to haveTeceived orders to set themselves in motion without delay, for the purpose of co-operating with the Allies. Mr. RASE this morning gave notice on the Stock Exchange, that - Lord LivERpoOL and Mr. VANSIT TART would be ready on Friday next to receive proposals from the gentlemen who wish to bid for the Loan. Yesterday,. at two o'cloch, his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT held a Privy Council at Carlton-house, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Duke of MONTROSE, the Mar quis of HERTFORD, Earls LIVERPOOL, BATHURST, WESTMORLAND, CHOLMONDELEY, BUCKINGHAM SHIRE, CAMDEN, and HARROWBY, ViSCOUIitS SID MOUTH andMELVILLE, Lords MULGRAVE,,ELLEN BOROUGH, and Mr. RYDER.

The PRINCE gave audiences to the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the Earl of LIVERPOOL ) and VisCouut MELVILLE. . Yesterday morning Earl MOIRA and Mr. CAN NING had at}diencea of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. His Grace the Duke of NORFOLK left town at nine o'clock lest night for his seat in Sussex. Lady lIEATIICOTE had a small party last night, at her house in Grosvenor-square. The Earl of ESSEX returned to town yesterday from Cashiobury House. Letters to the Ist instant, by the Anholt Mail, which arrived on Sunday, were delivered yester day. It is now stated from Stockholm, that Mr. THORNTON, had been publicly acknowledged 'as an accredited Minister from Great Britain. A Hamburgh Correspondenteg,, of the 26th ult. mentions, that BUONAPARTE had left Dresden, and had followed his army towards the" Russian frontiers. TALLEYRAND is stated in the Most recent let ters from Gottenburgh," to beat Wilna, in order to treat. with ROMANZOFF; other accounts say,. with BENNINGSEN. . • ' • . The letters from Riga, St. PeterSinirgh and Leiban, brought by the last mail, all agree in stat--: ing, that orders had been received to open the Russian ports to the flags'of every nation'. • Letters, •of the rsth May, from, St. Petersburgh, state, that Ad►niral-CHIcKAGOFF, had been sent off on a pacific mission to Constantinople, invested with full pow,!rs ; and that Admiral GREIG had gone to B► c =est; to assit in the attainment of the same object. The Danes, it is stated, have signified their in tention to restore to the Swedes all the property ,which, has been captured at Sea ; and'we are as, • sured, that the Freneh. privateers in Danish ports have been embargoed : some letters also add, that such miss have been put in prison as belong to . privateers without:letters of marque on board. We have received a copy of an Act passed at the last Session of the GenerAl Assembly of - the Province of New 'Brunswick, granting to his MAJESTY the stint . of 10,000/. as an aid in de fence of the Province, •in case of hoAtilities with the United States of,America—a strong proof of the loyalty and spirit of his MAJE:iTY's ,subjects in that infant colony, when it is considered that the revenues of the Province do• not much exceed • 60001. per an - num. BILEAD.—No Court of Aldermen to-day. The Loan MAYOR, after inspecting the Returns, order , ed the present pries to continue.—Quarterri t . orottf From a French Gendemat arrived . from Paris, we received yesterday the 'followi l ug instrument, dictated in the accustomed spirit of Buonapartc, ou the eve of a new war. - It is, e understand, published from the French head-quarters in Prussia. PROCLAMATION. FRFNCHNIrS !• 1 -4 am again called upon to wage war with the North. " SOLDIERS !--I myself will lead you against the Russians. " In the commencement of July, I shall be pre sent.in St. Petersburg, and I will mark out to the Emperor Alexander, the fit boundary of his domains. " Poland shall be the future barrier, to place it beyond the power of the Cabinet of St. Peters burg, again to ruin it. " NAPOLEOY." With the above, we have received the subse quent document :--- • TO THE POLISH NATION. "POLES !-1 Will confer upon you a King. I will extend your limits. " Your country - shall be greater than it was ini the days of Stanislaus. " The Grand Duke of Wurtzburg, our' Uncle, shall be your King. " This Sovereign has bestowed upon us his friendship, he has proved it by his conduct, and by his attachment to the common cause. His troops are now placed at our disposal ; unite yourselves with. them, and never revive The an ek,.nt animosity which was encourazed .towards his subjects, and . which,extinguished the glory of your ancestors. ‘,.‘ NAPOLEON." THE ARTS.—Mr..TUANIR opened his Gallery for admission of his friends .a few weeks ago, and it was closed on - Saturday last. Some of the Pic tures,had been submitted to the. public.before, and there are seven additional landscapes, all of which display extraordinary merit. indeed We are al most disposed to say,that they even excel his for mer produ'ctions, except in two or three instances. Among the new works are The River Plym, Calder Bridge, Cumberland, Teignmouth, Saltash, with the Water 'Ferry, lry Bridge Mill, Devon shire, St. Maws, at the Pilchard season. All these pictures are painted with a boldness, vi gour, and truth, which entitle the Artist to a very high station among the Landscape Painter§ of -any period. His fine Picture of Mercury and. Ilerse would have afforded us more pleasure if we had met it again in any other place, but we saw with regret that it is still left on the hands of the Artist, who has on this occasion beep the victim of etiquette and delicacy. It seems that two is had expressed to wish to have this Picture, but hearing that a Great Personage had *Sired it, they withdrew. their pretensions. The same motives of delicacy, we understand, operated upon the Great Personage, who declined it in favour of the two Noblemen. Matters remain in this vex atious state, and from . similar feelings among the higher• Patrons of Art, a Picture that. would be an ornament in :any collection, though it does so much honour to the genius of the ArtiSt, is not likely, at present at least, to add anything to his fortune. THE MEATRE.---Mr. BRAII Am last night conclud ed his engagement at the :Lyceum, with the serious Opera of Tirt! - Maniac, and the profits of the night were for his own benefit. The house . was crowded in all parts. ,He exerted hitnlelf with great zeal, and sung with the full exertion of his great powers. Miss KELLY acquitted herself most ably in the . character of the wild Heroine of piece, and indeed displayed such force • and ex pression as evinced • considerable powers as an actress. INCLEDON is now performing: at Edinburgh; where he commenced his engagement on Saturday'. last in the part of Machcath. • • There was another eager contest' last week for vacancies in the ALFRED CLUB'. Eleven new Mem- . hers were admitted, among whom were Sir SIDNEY SX I TH . and Mr .JEKYLt. It is sOmewhat curious that two such distinguished characters as these should have been unsuccessful Candidates on the .last Election; but •it -seems, that it . was generally thought they were secure, the Votes therefore went in other directiOns, and they failed,' when most people expected that ,they would certainly .be admitted: • It is a curious circumstance, that in a tecent novel, • published, however, some time before the assassination, of Mr. PERCEVAL, the author has in .trotlueed a ruffian of the most : atrocious descrip tion, to whom she . gives the name of, SEI,LING - RAM, and. represents as a descendant of FELTON A letter from an Officer-of the Impregnable, off the, Scheldt; dated on' Monday last, says :—" The liampee,.- of Sp - guns, Sir A. Woon, goes im mediately to Spithead,. the Lords of the Admiralty having been ,pleased to order that a Court-Martial shall - be held on Sir I. Wool), that he may have an opportunity of, explaining some circumstances which occurred vvlien he fell in with the French squadtrOn, the Trelnendoiis, Poietier., and Diana, . being then in Sight. The Tremendous and Ppictiers will also leave the fleet for Spithead, the moment they are relieved. The enemy's fleet continues off Flushing : they will have twenty-four sail of the ready for sea soon.' • Rear-Admiral Brown relieves, in the command on the Jersey station, Vice-Admiral the Prince of BOUILLON. The Prince'of BOUILLON will pro ceed •in the Ulysses to 'Portsmouth; where be will strike his flag.. Mr. LAM'. is .appointed Secre tary to Rear-Admiral RnowN. • Government have, it is said, with the approbar tion of the Regency of Spain, determined to add one. hundro Spaniards to. every British regiment nowt/ . serving in the Peninsula. • Two hundred men of the PRINCE. of HassE DARMSTSDI:S regiment, made prisoner at Badajoz, and lately landed at Plymouth, have volunteered into the German Legion. . Attempted Suicide.--A respectable young wo man,l4he daughter of industrious tradespeople, in Maritle-bonne-lane, , who was nursery-maid in a family -in Alpha-road, Mary4e-bonne, threw her self from a second-floor back-window, yesterday, .into a paved yard; -but miraculously without frac turing a bone. After recovering from the sudden effects of the fall, she attempted to cut her throat. The motive which induced the rash attempt is not known.—The young' woman was restored to her relations.
