He ought not to have to encounter, in his very outset, the effects of malignant and wilful misrepresentation. God knows he will have enough to do to maintain the interests of the realm, and to work out its deliverance, without having also to meet the prejudices of calumny. We may see not merely from the whole course ,of proceeding on the Regency Bill, but still further from the wanton invectives in their devoted prints, the species of Opposition that is to be set up. to the Prince's Go- vernment ; but whickwe trust the GENEROIrS FEEL INGS OF TUE BEILTISH NOPLE WILL TREA s T -WIT.

Yesterday a well-known Cyprian presented for change, at the Cash-office of the Bank of Eng land, a Note for One thousand , pounds ! tier per son and character being almost instantly recog nised, a little suspicion was.naturally excited, and she was politely detained alew minutes, while the nature of thelransaction was investigated. One of the Marshalmen, in attendance at the Man sion -house, was also sent for ; but the nutter was in the mean time most satisfactorily enlained, and . the Lady was immediately accommodated.— What rendered the circumstance nol r alittle re- . mailable, was that of a reqnest made by th e L a dy to have 900 One pound Notes given her as part of the change.

LAUNCH OF THE REDOUBTABLE, 74 GUN SHIP; AT' WOOLWI(11: Yesterday .being tki, day appointed for the launch of this magnificent man of War, notwith standing the extreme severity, of .the weather, by twelve o'clock crowds of peOple of all descriptions were seen making towards the Royal Dock at Woolwich, under an impression, that in copse , (pence, of being at peace with all nations, they never would he gratified by a'sithilar exhibition. The Redoubtable was laid down at the same time with the Nelson, which was launched last Stith - mer, and has been five years in building ; her bur then is 1758 tons ; gun deck, 176 feet five in c h es ; keel on ton nage , 145 feet ; breadth in extreme, 47 feet eight inches. Depth in hold, 21 feet, one inch and 3-4ths., The proud colours of Britain were hoisted at an early hour in the morning, and continued to wave triumphantly over the shrouds until late last night. Sogreat was the anxiety to get on board; that a few.thinutes before she was launched., a sailor, whose intrepidity over-ruled his discretion, mounted the swing -ladder, and would have leaped upon deck, had not the men employed mounted it perpendicularly, and Jack slid down to the no small. amusement of an im mense crowd. By one o'clock the whole Yard was so 'much crowded, that it ,was deemed expe dient by the Commissioners to place extra officers at the gates leading to her head, where the cere rnony of chrWening- was to be performed by an in: (creating young Lady: At the stern of the ship several seats were erected for the accommodation of the friends of the Lords of the Admiralty and others. They were lined with crimson cloth, and occupied by elegantly_ dressed females. At e half past on o'clock the wo r kmen had com pl ete d t h e soaping of the Cradles, and - a few minutes after Mr. Commissioner 'CUN.IINGIiAM; ACCoMpallied by his daughter, were received' at the _ head of the Redoubtable; by - the- Master Shipwright and a great asseMblage of Nobility and • Gentry.

THE ARMY. GENERAL ORDER. —Horse Guards, Jan. , l6. From tlid rcportS which the Commander in Chief has re ceived of the Regimental Schools, his Royal Highness has the vltisfaction of believing, that the important and , benefi cial objects of theie institutions have generally been dulyand successfully attended to, by the instruction of the children on the plan of the Rev. Dr. Bell, as prescribed in former Orders, and by the introduction of good order, cleanliness, and regti larity. ' , . 'There is, however, another point of scarcrly less impor tance, to which it i s th e ' C omman d er i n ' Chief ' s wish most earnestly to call the attention of the Commanding 01 - licers, viz. ..that of taking care.t.hat the. children are', as early as possible, instructed. in - the inean4 of tnaking themselves useful, •and gaini n g th e i r li ve lih oo d ; ' and this his Royal Highness conceives may be effected at a very cheap rate, by em,.!oying the best qualified and best behaved women of each regiment in ins4ructing the girls in plain work and knitting, and employing the tailors and boot and •shOemake6 of each regimcntin instructing the boys in their respective trades; by which Means the whole .may, at a very early age, be ren dered ti§eftil to the regiment, and be enabled to gain their own subsistence. .The Commander in Chief is of opinion, that by an econo mical application of the funds left at their disposal, and by a proper arrangement for the sale of the 7produce of the chil dren's work, Commanding Officers will have it in their power to forward. this object without incurring any additional ex pence. .

Is there, then, we may ask, an end to'com _ petition ?--:and is there not one among the fra ternity - desirous of an increase of business? If there is, I conceive he has only to follow the ex ample of thcke who have given notice of the re• duction in the prices of 'posting, to ensure a suit able encouragement from the public. The' por , ter brewers have given an intimation that they have increased the strength of their beer, and with this strong argument they expect,- for a while, to put off the evil day, whilst their coffers, if rePort speaks truly, are filling to the brim. Wine (Port wine at least) has fallen, I understand, to the re tailers of it, sufficiently to allow of a reduction of one shilling in the bottle; but 1 have not heard a whisper of any proposed reduction in this cost ly 'commodity: Vintners will tell us, perhaps,. their old bottled stoek was bought at high prices; but the Public do not forget; that when the act• Nance took place, the retailers charged it on that stock which they possessed before the price rosa.

It has been stated 'that I am something of a Poli tician, but.lie that as it malt, I em known to avoid the Court, and also to bean enemrof the Crown ; .and whatever coo- struction may be .Pu 6 upon my appearance at the drawing. room, it is a Witty remark, that I assistlo mahe a jest of Ma jesty: I was onceafilicted by a 'dreadful malady, and _it was ,everi - alleged that' My body Was laid in death. I Was, it 'seemed, veryfit for the grave," but after remaining some time in a lethargy, I awoke, when the undertaker arrived, and could never be prevailed upon to suffer myself 'to be placed in .a coffin. Upon my rccoecry, .I was accustomed to take walks on the Welch mountains, and being generally visible there, from the :dawn till the middle of the day, I had my share of attraction=dnriag my residence in Wales, it was declared that I was.still in England, and, indeed I have been not tmfrequently taxed with being a party in a falsehood. In . short, I have often been the subject of an accusation, and the, diasters with' which I was assailed, in my late travels, de monstrate, that I have nothing to do with friendship. On my.arriral at Maidstone I found there three of my compa. nious ;we agreed to pat -4 411;e .of a joint of meat amongst us, but being Met without me, it entirely disappeared..-Dis appointed at lOsing my dinner, I wished tb pursue my road, • but was supposed to he insane, and I could never get rid of the imputation, till I quietly left the inn. After I had been some time in France,' I was, de clared to be an abettor of treason, but though itwas said I had advanced far in a conspiracy, they never could prove that I was the leader of the faction. Anxious Still to perse cute me, as I wu, one day taking the air, to preserve myself in health, I was assaulted-and put in chains. Notwith: standing the hint which I gave at the beginning, I must here warn my readers, that I had long. been a favourite at Ver sailles, and had possessed great influence with the Grand Monarque. As my assailants were unable to put me in con finement, I have consequently attributed my enlargement to Royal favour. I have often been seen on the stage, and lam • so capital an Actor in tragedy, that it would appear nonsense without use. I haVe even performed apart in the last act of an Opera, and my pronUnciation in the recitative is confessed to be foreign. In farce I also perform a very conspicuous part. Strange as it may appear, though I am a' Member of Parliament, and ant friendly to both sides, yet I ran never ad mitted into the House of Peersi,front what has been said of my dramatic talents, it may be conjectured that I appear to advantage in an oration.
