It cannot have escaped 'the public observation, that the Papers devoted to the cause of Opposition, have, fur several weeks past, teemed with articles against Lord Met.vtuoi— every argument that could mislead the judgment, every topic that could inflame the passions, was urged with all the perseverance that malignity could prompt, and in all the shapes that ingenuity could devise ; and this was done before the investigation of his conduit in the House of Commons; and yet we then heard no complaints from those who' arc now so eager to restrain the licentiousness of the Press. The indecency of con. demising a ,person before his trial,. the injustice, as well as the illegality of endeavouring to prejudice 'the Tribunal before which he was to be tried,. neither excited the fears, nor roused the indigna. tion of these who, in the year :79+, loudly de. claimed against the Publication of .the Reports of the Secret Committee of the House of Com. moos, lest they should prejudice the Tribunals before which the persons then under a Charge of 1-1;s1, Treason were to be tried. The lan. guage held by Mr. PITT, on this occasion, was such as the uniform tenor of his conduit led us to expeit : Improved himself a real friend to the Liberty of the Press, not from Party Prejudice, but upon Con. stitutional Principles ; not in Theory, but in Prac- tice : at the same time that he spewed himself anxi. ous to maintain the Dignity of the House of Com mons, by not passing over, without any Censure, an offence of this kind, when the complaint had once been made.

On Thursday morning Hts MAJ ESTY, the Dukes of SussEx, CAMBRIDGE, and Prince WILLIAM of GLOUCESTER, accompanied by Generals GwYNNE, FITZAOY, MANNERS, and several other General Officers, reviewed the Royal Horse Guards in Wind sox Great Park, They made a very fine appearance, HER MA; EiTY and PRINCESSES went in state to th e re v ie w ; the cavalcade consisted of Her Majes ty's stale carriage and eight horses, two carriages with six Hanoverian horses each, two carriages and four, a duke and pair, and an open landau and four.

I am certainly fortunate- in getting ow so well, as 1 was covmed with splinters, but otherways suffered only in bruises, scratches and contusions. " The French Frigate bad heavier guns and more of them, and 400 men to our zoo, many of whom were sick. . They had also a number of soldiers with rifles, which, when they got near us, did great exccution. When the French took possession they confined us below. The first night was wretched indeed, stowed with the wounded, and our room Covered .with blood. In the morning they would not suffer us on deck, not would they allow our servants to boil water, or give us any thing to eat." During the short time the Enemy were in posses_ sion. of the Ship, it appears that they exit, drank, and destroyed every thing they could."
