L 0 1 N D 0 N, Y'RTDAY, AUGUST '24, t 804, AFTER witnessing for so many years the lengths to which the Opposition Party carried their hosti, lity to Government last War, we cannot be much surprised at' any conduct they may now adopt. In the present contest, they seem determined to pease. vere in the lame system, and we have no douht that they will adhere stripy to their determine. tion. During the last War, the language of the Party, both in their speeches and in their writingi, was not only hostile .to the Ministers, but to the Country ; all our successes were diminished—all our reverses enlarged upon with malignant satis e faction, while . the victories of the Enemy were etagerated and blazoned forth with undisguised exultation. We need nor recall to the recollection of our Readers the rancorous hostility with which every Sovereign in Europe was treated radar in ah'ill.nre 'with Great Britain; then they were re. presented as Despots and Tyrants, and the folly, and even the wickedness of forming alliances with them was uniformly and loudly proclaimed ; but when they ceased to be. our Allies, or especially if they appeared inclined to join with France, from that moment they ceased to be objects of the abuse of the Party. That . Inch was the uniform conduct i.l the Opposition last War, it is impos i sible for them to deny ; but we shall be told that this is only a repetition of old'charges, and we should not perhaps have adverted to this rpulleet at present, if we had not observed that the • same system of hostility was again commenced, and that every effort was used to damp the energies and to thwart the exertions of the COuntry. That ardent Patriotism which has enrolled so many thou. sand Volunteers for the Dtfence of the Country, has been long a theme of ridicule to the Opposition Writers and Speakers, and the Volunteers have been *fleeted ar, libelled, and persecuted with unoompled perseverance ever since their formation. The late vulwitary uffers of respectable Individuals to supply Government with Horses and Carriages,has furnished a new stabled of censure. Voluntary 'offers are re. presented as 04 not only useless but improper ;" the Public Meetings which have been held, and the ar. rangements which have been made, are "calculated only to excite the contempt of the Enemy." "Instead of taking the carriages and horses in consequence of the voluntary offers of their Owners, they ought to be seized, by viriste c,f the King's Prerogative, and a Proclamation was all that was necessary." In short," all .voluntary zeal is confusion ;"that is to say, when it is exerted in support of. G►vernment. Such are the comments which have .been made upon these patriotic offers—such was the language held at the .iine of the Voluntary Contributions — and such, we confidently preditt, will be the lan. gu.sge of that Party upon every similar public.spi. 'lied measure. Authe commencement of the War, the late Admini. stration were arraigned fat not having entered into Alliances on the Continent ; but now that a powerful Conte& raCy, is about to be fprmeil against France, the old cant, Amur the impolicy of Cootintmtal Alliances, is revived. For a long time it was conft.tently asserted, that there was no chance of Russia, or any of the Northern Powers, tatting a decided part against France ; but now that there is . every piobability that we ()ball have the benefit of theircordial Co.operation, what is the language of the Party I Why " they cannot say' that the accession of Russia is' alssoluteb , If no importance," but 4 ! nothing effcaual can be Oone without Austria,;" anti, then I we are told, with , the utmost exulratinn, that there - is no charge of an Alliance with Austria ; No r the' Cabirkt of Vienna, the Archduke Cu An Les, could never consent to an Alliance with that Sugar Baker Statematt, that .Thrtathierdle.street Millister, Mr. PITT. Such is the consisrent—such is the decent language of a Party that prnclaimr. the dargers of the present `crisi4, that • tells us we are fighting. Or our very existence, and admits the necessity of uniting all. the energies of the. Country to resist he g;gantic Power of France.

The return of fine weather has ,had a vrondertd effeft on the appearance and spirits of OUT numerous belles and beaux. The promenade on Sunday even. ing, at KIDDMAN'S, was elegantly attended. Miss DUNCAN, every evening she performs, in. creases her reputation. Her Mrs. Sullen is still the thence of critical admijation, and the Margate ;Vestals, GARNER, the Librarian, is in the good books of all lovers of the Theatre. On Tuesday the Assembly-room at Ramsgate had a brilliant display of beauty. The all-cheering Sun drew a numerous tribe of London Peisians, on Wed. nesday morning, to worship his beams, and enjoy a hearty breakfast on the little Paradise of Dandelion. The Soldier's Daughter, in the evening, attratqed Most of them to the shrine of Old THESPIS. MISS DUNCAN was admirable in the Widow Cheer ly, and enhanced the charms of her performance by in troducing a very reasing air. W 2 tAtoT-Wsr.Ls, in the Governor; FAULKENER, in Frank Heartall; TAYLOR, in Ma/fort Senior; LoveeßovE, in Timothy Quaint ; and, indeed, the whole Dramatis Persona were very well supported. The Xing George Hvy has just landed another large cargo of live stock, from various quarters of the migrating Metropolis. BRIGHTON, AUG. 22. Tat absence of the PRINCE giVes a dulness to this place, scarcely to be described. The gloom of the Pavilion is generally extended to the most dist ant limits of the Steyne ; nor are the rides, and other places of fashionable resort, less depressed and cheer. less on such a regretted occasion. ' Let those who may possess an opinion that 'Brighton is not en. tirely indebted for its celebrity to the favours and presence of Royalty, visit the town in the absence of its illustrious Benefador, and they will he con. vinced of the contrary. It is not the excellence of accommodations, the salubrity of situation, or the diversified amusements of the place, though these are essentials not to be dispensed with, and which other marine resorts possess, that will render it promi nent in fashionable notice, unless the blessing of superior patronage add force to the attraction, and charm the rays of rank and beauty to a locus. The Steyoe to.day has been unusually barren of pedes. trians ; yesterday it was the same ; the . Theatre only, in the evening, renewed the idea that immense numbers of the first quality were still to be twin( within the town, The Provok'd Husband,. and The Padlock, the pettormancei of the night, were played with ample justice. The amiable l'arrotte..s ut the'evening, the Marchioness of fir AnFoxT, Mrs, FrIZEIFRIIRRT, and a vett. large p.trty, were in the PR INC a', 11-x; in the fit , x atij ttning were he,r Grace the Dutche , s MARII3Oe OUCH, Lofd FRANCIS SPENCER, Laity A.
