Yesterday morning Ells MAJESTY walked in the Queen's Garden tier a considerable time. About ode o'clock the Lultil CEANCEI.[.AR had an atidience,of fits MAJESTY. OUR Port Letters furnish us with no incarnation tespeaing the heavy and continued tiring which was heard The end of last,. and beginning of the present week, in the quarter of /4ri/g . gne. This seems the more extraordinary, as the distance is so short, that one would have thouzht the,Commanding Qilicer of, ihe Squadron would have been anxious. to cominuni,. cam to,Lord Ic..Evrtithe'effeCt of so lengthened and he-avy a fire, Two .of the. old Mitch Vessels, loaded with stones, have gone over for the pur 'pose of being sunk in the mouth of Boulogne Harbour, but they have sailed since the, heavy cannonading, .and if- that has not 'produced the the desire(' effeet, we entertain apprehensions that difficulties may stand in the way of their being . sunk in the- proper situation. We have reason to believe that the late Embargo was conne4- cd with this attack upon the E.?emy's Flotilla at poulo g ne, and as that has been taken o ff, we conclude the meditated attack to be over, and the - absence of all intelligence of its result for so many days is not 11 circumstance ; that impresses us with very _panguine hopes of- heating .of a, brilliant is sue. In the opinion of ma naval men of the very first charaler and talents, the kind of force which we pbssess is not that which is the best cal culated for the - wvice upon which it is employed ; but upon this sullied so much was said the other night . in the ,Hoiise of commons, that we . thir,k it unnecessary at present to enlarge uptio the zu'a„ jeft. What was so ably and eloquently enforced by Mr. ? I TT remained unanswered, and we doubt not will have a more extensive influence in the Country than it had in the House, great as that was proved to be by the large Minority that divided with him. • THE State of the Nation affiards nothing at . the present moment which is at all consolatory to those who are most interested in its welfare. The Mi nisters (if so we can call them), are too weak to hold the reins of Government, and too vain to resign them. They must have lost all feeling, if the contemptible figure they make in' the House of Com mons does not excite in them at least . some degree of shame. The little junto of Mr. ADDINGTON still continue to persuade him that he is a , vivrous, able, and efficient Minister ; but the loudest praise administered, by the most abjea flatterer, only de serves remark as it tends.to induce Mr. ADDING TON to cling to a station for which be is wholly tro.: lit. We, are surrounded by dangers—any disaster would overset the Administration, and the Mini sters appear to have neither the spirit and the man liness to resign their P)aces to abler Men, nor to take a vigorous measure for our relief. In our own Country they are condemned by many, and pitied by more—and on the Continent, they, are held in • derision. In this Situation, and the first obis-,EI to which we have to look being the Defence of the ,Nation,. Mr. PITT has sugy,ested measures for that ,purpose. • He has in the first instance endeavoured to put the Volunteers upon afooting which would ensure their useful service. In this attempt, however, he has been in many respeas foiled as usual by Ministers, from the paltry consideration, we suppose, of mak ing the measures their ort.tm. He has however done his utmost, and no blaMe is imputable to him if the measure is not more efficient. The next objea to which hiS thoughts have been turned has been our Nava/ Defence, and on Thursday Night he made a Motion for Papers in .1 .the House of Commons upon this subject. The.' 'grounds which he laid for his Motion were so clear and. self.evident, that it can only excite asto., nishment that it was not readily adopted to its full extent. The reply of Mr. PITT to the argu ments (if arguments they can be called) of those who spoke on the side of the Minister, was one of the most perfeft pieces of eloquence, of wit, and of reasoning ever - heard, and made a roost sensible im pression upon the House, as appeared from the large . minority, the largest by far that has been known in the House of Commons for these twenty years. We are happy to find that 'Mr. PITT has not done with the 'subjea of the Naval Defence. This im portant Service has, we are satisfied, beep much neglefted from the Peace till the present time ; but if it shall appear, as we have no doubt i: will, that even unusual exertions have not been made to meet the vast preparations of the Enemy, what must we think of those io whom, most unfortunately, the interests of this great Nation have'been and continue to be entrusted? We have from time to time done every thing in our power to stimulate the Admiralty to exertion ; our remonstrances have been treated with mean, pi fill, and personal revenge, but in some instances we believe our hints have been at tended to; and we know that since Mr. PITT gave nc. tici cf his Motion brought forward on ThersdaYnight, some slight exertions have been made—•an admission on the part of the Admiralty, that all had not been dune which they.had it in their power to do. We hope that this great National Question will not be lost sight of, 'but he agitated again and again, till the Country is placed in the best possible state. of NaVal Defence. Before the Division on. Thursday night, about sixty or seventy Members went away, disinclined to vote against Mr. PITT; and probably not wishing openly, at present at least, tooppose the Ministry l krad that number staid and voted with Mr. PITT, where would Mr. ApoiNGToN have' been ? As it was, we understand he expressedpuch mortification at the Division, as in the strength and talents and, respeaability of the Minority, he, probably ,for the first time, opened his eyes to the precarious tenure of:his power. Yesterday about twelve o'clock, HER MAJESTY and the PRINCESSES ETH, MARY, and So-. rlf lA, attended by the Countess CARAIpAN, and Lady A. CUMI3 ERLAND, took an airing in a Coach and foot, on the Harrow Road. The kid of MOIRA seta of on his return to Seutlandto:rporrow morning. He expeas to reach dinbqrgh qn Tuesday next.
