His most Sacred Majesty KingGF ()act the Tittßt) was born on the 24th of May, 1738, U.S.; which dare, sinte the itnproyenscut of the style in 1752, has become tilt 41 . 11 Of 3ittie: lieA(as the eldest son of Frederick, late Prince of Wales, who died in 1731, and left his eldest son, George Williatn Frederick, a minor, at the early age of thirteen. The im- portant charo of educating the Heir Apparent was confided 'to some of the most erudite and competent men of the day, and as he advanced towards maturity, the once celebrated John Earl of Bute, who had acquired a peat aseemdancy in he Court of the )owager Princess of Wales, was supposed to have no small influence in formin4 the mental character of his future Sovereign. On the 25th of October, 174;0, his Nlaje,ty, then Prince of Wales, ascended to the Throne of atie }lcalaii on the demise of his Royal Grandfather, King George the Steond. The New King eras prochtim- eti on the following - day, and his youth, beitqr, then in the t %velity-t hi rd year of his :,;e, toget her with hi ! atni- al)le and ingenuous per,onal character, united all hearts, and all parties, and all clescriptims of his subjects, in fat our of their nt w Sovereign. His venerable (;ra nant her died in the /wine of military glory, and in the course of the most successful war in which this country was ever engaged• King Georg.: the Third, in the benevolence of his 11(art, manifested a desire for the restoration of peace, tl►ough the belli;erent operations of his Royal Predecessor were by no means relax- ed. Wishing to establish an Administration on a liberal and comprehensive basis, some chavgex, tlionol not extensive, were made in the Ministry. Of these the most prominent WAS the appointnint of the Earl of Bute, to a s►:at, itt the Cabinet, as Secretary for the Southern Department, in Alay 1761. The illustrious \l'm. Pitt, afterwards Earl of Chatham, was then Secretary for the Northern, and for many years considered as rflicieot head of the Administration. Shortly niter the tree• appointments, that great linister complained of his former puiver being circumscribed, throUgh undefined influence, aril in the following October' be reshot(' his situation ; the Earl of Egreutont was appointed to':aneered bins. Several other 'changes subsequently took place, particularly that of the re- nerable Duke of Newcastle as First Lord of the Treasury, on wh ich•the Ea,rl of Bute was appointed to that high situation, and W:IS considered as first Minister. Meantime the overa- tions of the war were continued with - 6i:our, and attended with brilliant success. Negociations for peace were shortly after Set oti foot, and •brought to a pacific conclusion in 1 i(;3, though the terms on which peace was granted were not a little impugned as inadequate to the great and glorious suc- cesie3 achieved by the arms of Great Britain. Pen►ling the above occurrences, his Majesty, on the 9th of Sept. 1761, married the Princess Charlotte of Ilecidenhurgli- Strclitz, our late most Gracious Queen, and en the 22d of the same month, the august ceremony of tli►ir Coronation took place. This union, which during so many years pre- sented a scene of uninterrupted conjugal felicity, it is well known produced a fine and unmet on. progeny; 15 children, two of whom died at a rcry rally agv, the Princes Oct:►rius and Alfretl, and nearly ten years since the P►iucess their youngest daughter, and very recently the justly-lamented Dukc of Kent. Reverting to the political occurrences of his Majesty's Reign, several changes in Administration took place in the in- terval between the dose of the Seven Years' War, in 1763, anti the unfortunate American contest, the first hostilities in whicli took place in 177.5. The Ministry were very little of a permanent character until the appointment of Lord North to its !mad, in 1 . 770. Tpwartis the latter part of that unhappy contest, the Ministers of the Crown grapple with one of the ablest and most formidable Oppositions recordedl in the annals of Parliament, having the Pitts, father and son,. Burke, Fox, Sheridan, CanVtien, and Shelburne, for its illus- trious leaders in 'either. At length, in March, 178?, this- 09Forition triumphed, anti the their Nlisiisters were eon- Itr4ined to resign. A n,cw'''lllinistcy was appointed, of which those who were considered as the Whig. Leaders were consti tuted the heads. Mr. Fox was rejirtled as the efficient NII- 'lister, and certainly took the lead' in the..l - I.iuse of Commons. But d . 9ratiou was very short : _the Marquess of Rocking- ham dietrinthy following July. and the 'E.ArI of Shelburne (since Marquess of Lansdowne), was his successor at the head of the Trsasur}-. an anointment Which it was asserted tootUt,l'Teil the linowledge of some of his col- kit esterksive,. resignation , frpro r.nvotig these was the colfseluencli. This Adcliiiistration had the honour, of bringing forwafd illustrioqi William Pitt, as Chancellor of the Exchequer; at the unprecedeu r ted early age of 23. The extensive 'arid' Complicated vi;;rfare arising out of the rlu►eri- can corttest.was brought to. a Oise by this Administration, who concluded a Prelin'nftryTreaty of Peace, towards the end of 1782. In the subsequent April the well linown eoali- tiqn, of which Mr. Fox and Lord North were the heads, took place, and the uusting from power of his Niajesty's Ministers was the consequence. Administration owcd its dow•nf;d. to the very extraor- dinar}• meas u re, whereby itsleadersattempted to ►est all the power, and ,Patronage, and, in a great tlei&e, all the co►n- niercial rights of the East, India . Compan7 in themselves. lii the result they were drciqedly clstnisse4.lroni (Mice by his Alajcsty. ajt a new : Administration appointed, at which that .great, illustrious, atul must (lisittieresttd Statesman, the im- mortal w•as deservedly placed at the head. This event took place io the close of. 1783. The.Atlministra- tion of tho King's Government was never so ably or so pros- perously conducted, as under the auspices of this trulfpatriotic lihister, who alike ehjoyed the fit'votft 4 ant confidence both of his Sovereign and his 'subjects. ThMitimitircial prosperity of Britain was never so extended, nor its pubqc credit so !vigil. This scene of peace, happiness, and prosperity continued pro gressive and increasing, till the direful Political anomaly, that hydra of calaniities—the French Revolution broke forth, and - • by forciF g this peaceful aud unoffending country into a just and necessary war. On these stJpettdous events, unparalleled in their consequences arid effeets,in the pare of history, this ist. not the occasion, nor perhaps : is it tilt: time to expatiate; the events are comparatively of remit occurrence; they are kno*n and felti and will, if Rot already . so,. be duly appre- dated by all.

A Government more conformant to the Sovereign's principles and wishes, was formed, and : who continued to administer the affairs of this great. Empire, as well domestically •s belligerently, in a way which merited general approbation and applaule. The war which the unprincipled ambition of the. thrn Ruler of France had forced the country into, Was assuming a novel and fortunate aspect, and the triumphs of the military pride of Britain, the illustrious Wellington, we7re beginning to develop themselves, when it pleased the inscrutable will and purposes of the Most High to afflict our late Sovereign, in a way that closed ictn• ally his long and eventful, but generally happy and auspi- ciou reign. We must here draw the curtain : the political and personal memoir of his late Majesty, even in sketch, closes. A new' era of Royal Government and Administration has commenced, which appertains to a personal classification different from that adverted to in this-part of our Journal.

PARLIANIENT, ON A DEMISE OF TIIE CROIVN. RelAtively to tl►is important, an►l, on the pre- sent entlancholy occasion, immediately interest- ing topic, that great Consiit►►tiOnnl Publicist, Blackstone, tints expresses hintsel.f A Parlia- ment may be dissolved by a demise of the Crown. —This dissolution formerly happened immediately upon the deaf Ii of the reigning Sovereign for he being in law considered as the head of the Parlistinettl, (caput, principiunt, et finis,) that failing, the whole body vi its belt! Jo he extinct, But the calling a new ►'arliament immediately on he intolguration of the Successor being found convenient, anti dangers being appreliencird front having no Pailiement, in being, in case of a clis- puled succession, it %VAS enacted by the stutntes of 7 and S William 311. c. 13, and 6 Anne, c. 7, that the Parliament in being shall continue for six months alter tl►e cle.►t}i of any X . iog or Q ►een, unless sooner prorogued or dissolved by tbe Sue- eessor ; that if the Parliament be, at the time of the King's death, separated by adjournaient or prorogation, it shall notwithstanding assemble immediately ; and that it no l'arliAtnent is then in being, tie Members of ibe last I'arli4tnent shall assemble, and be again a Parliament."

This being Crown-paper day, the Court was occupied the whole morning in arguments upon parish settlement cases, none of which were of public interest. CRINI INA I. INFORMATION. Mr. GURNEY moved for a 'rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be file" agninst a respectable Far trier, flamed Sewell. TI, e motion was n►ade on behalf of a Magistrate of the County of Norfolk, whose name the Learned Counsel did not mention. It appeared, from the d virs, that an information having been laid before the Magistrate against :wo SOUS of Mr - . Sewell, and another person, for offences under the Turnilik - Act, they were convicted by the Magistrate, in the execution of his duty. A few days af;ei-warils \lr. Sewell met the Nlagistrate in the !old, and said to Lim, " I should like to k ti.* \slim pm 41111 St It'd after set vitig my sons so." The l AL4gistrate 'replied "1f you ask Inc a c i v il q acs !j ou ill iiiisvrer you."
