EXC LLI IO T is quite astonishing, that the Advocates for the ntw Oppositio n sh trut ould per severe , i n contempt of h to maintain , ik i t the new Administration is formed upon a System of EXCLUSION. We have, we trust, fully exposed the falsehood and folly of t assertion. t he We have st ate d, upon t o e b est au ority, that the new Administration was in fad liberally intended by Mr. PITT to be open to all Parties, and that a m comprehensive scale of Govern tion.ent, with any except i on, was i n his contempla- If one except i on was fnund necessary in such an-arrangemenr, nothing can be more evident S han tha t , t h e grounds of the exception were too The r est i s known ; but as the Advocates of_ Oppositi on " still spin the same self-pl eas i ng Oppositi on to d anew" t i t is necessary t h at we s h ou ld pan _ itaie it their artifices. We still say then,. t h . “ the want of that comprehensive Administration r whi ch was in Mr. PIT - es contemplation, results "or.n no fault in him, but from an uncouth and ridi culous alliance betwee n his former friends and Mr. FOX. They refused to accept of official situations, unless i n conjonaion with their new Ally'.The Men who have often oppo , ed themselves in the most resolute manner to Mr. Fox and his tinue to identify themselves with him and his prin. principles, con. ciples ; for he has in no instance testified the slightest disposition to recant anycloar which he h as maintained since the Revo h lution i in nes France, and indeed on some recent occas has Lit opi n i ons ate still the same ons. For su h ch ewn a man, s that then of the , would hi s new tisupporters inv a d e th e P rero ga_ C a binet of e C rown, in or d er to force him into the HIS SOVERE lON. We have a right to persevere in insisting upon this point, not only in apposition to the cft.refutcd charge of a System of Exclusion, in the formation of a new because. it eSsentially relit Ministry, but es to one of the i portant P r i v il eges of the Executive Power,most the vio m . lation of which might tend to the destruftion of the best form of Government ever devised by human wisdom.

It is certainly the most agterable Institution that has ever attracted the no. Lice of the Fashionable World. The Concert corn- Menced at half after eight, and the Rooms were soon graced by a very numerous train of the higher or ' der, but there was no crowd. The seleetion of Music was highly creditable to the taste of Mr. SPENCER. The compositions were chiefly taken from the works of HANDEL, AvISON, and HAYDN. They were all admirably performed. Voca Perf ormers were Mrs. BIANCHI, NI ELD, the The SALES, I 'GORE, KELLNER, VAUGHAN, Goss, &C.--Miss CANTELG pea umed a Sonata on the Har wit great brilli ancy . M aster MORRI, a boy of seven years of age, executed a Concerto on the violin in a style that would have done credit to a veteran Pro fessor. Master KELLNER sung a new Air com posed by Mr. SPENCER, the subjeet of which was the petition of a little Wandering Cripple. The mu sic is very pathetic, and appro i riate to the semi. inents, and it a striking proof of the taste and sen sibility of the Composer.

MONDAY His Excellency the Earl of Mot RA re viewed, in Burntsfield Links, the First Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, commanded, by Lieu tenant-Colonel the Right Hon. CHARLES Hoi.F, Lord Advocate of Scotland. The Regiment muster ed very strong, made an excellent appearance, and went through their evolutions with the greatest ac- curacy. After the review of the First Regiment, the Edin burgh and Leith Troops of the Mid-Lothian Light Dragoon's were reviewed by Earl Mot RA, and went through the cavalry exercise and charges, much to the satisfadion of his Lordship. Tuesday the zd Battalion of the Second Regiment of Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel JAMES HOPE, were reviewed on Leith Links, by His Excellency the Commander in Chief. The Regiment went through their different evolutions with great dexterity and exactness, and received the thanks of the General fur their discipline and military appearance. The following effusion of taste and sentiment was written by Mrs. LENOIR, a daughter of Ci-ittisto- PIiER SMART, whose name wil! always stand high in the Poetical Records of this Country, The fair Author has recently shewn hereditary talents, in an interesting Work, entitled Village Anecdotes. TO !PINTER. WHAT tho' for thee no warbler sings ; What tho' for thee no zephyr blow ; What tho' for thee no virlet springs, Nor chaplets deck thy hoary brow ; Yet I will bid thee welcome stiji ; To me no hateful dreaded guest : Boast Spring or Summer as they will, Each owes to Winter half its zest. Tho' rarely smile thy sternness move, Tho' thy dread voice no echoes rend, This seeming harshness still can prove The wholesome vigour of a friend. Thy hard my sinews well can brace ; Light is !ay heart, my spirits gay ; With glowing cheek, and quicken'd pace s Untied thro' rugged paths I stray. What tho' no tender foliage deck The rated grove in vivid green ; Yet oft desclied.thro' many a break, The distant lamise.ipe smiles between. Then with light step and hunger keen, Back to my rural home I haste, And find, untainted with the spleen, My sober meal a rich repast. With food enliven'd, not oppress'dp When.friendly atm ,begins to fail, I take the Author I love best, And tnen my nobler mind regale. And as stiil evening closes in, With hearts united, cares at rest ; Tito' dark without, 'tis gay within ; We find no WINTER. in the breast. The Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Capt. GR /FFITHS, have Marched from Poole to their old quarters at Christchurch, from whence they were removed on account of the late Eiedion. The Devizes Volunteers are to march into Poole on permanent duty, in the course of the present week. A few days since, in removing part of a mound of earth, to make the outer entrance into Tyne mouth Castle more suitable f )r the ingress and egress of heavy pieces of ordnance, vast quantities of hu man bones were found, supposed to be the remains of bodies buried there after the storming of the Castle in 1648, by CROMWELL'S I'roop4, under the com mand of Sir ARTHUR HASELRIG. On Tuesday last the General Assembly of Scot land took under consideration an overture from the Presbytery of Annan, respeEting the profanation of the Sabbath, particularly by the fishing of salmon on that sacred day. After reasoning, the Assembly, upon a motion made and seconded, came to the fol lowing unanimons resulutinn :—" The General Assembly,,considering it as of infinite importance to the religion and morals of the people of Scotland, that the I,ord'i Day be effectually guarded from profanation ; having learned with deep concern. that, not withstanding the provisions made by the ancient laws of Scotland,' for enforcing the obser. vance of the Lord's Day, the business of salmon fishing is carried on within the Presbytery of Annan, upon that day as upon any other ; and being in. formed that a Bill is now, or will soon be brought before Parliament; for regulating the salmon fishings in the Solway Frith, they appointed the Moderator and Procurator for the church to correspond upon this subject, in the name of the Assembly, with the - Members of Parliament who introduced that Bill, and to request the assistance of the Lord Advocate of Scotland, in obtaining the insertion of a Clause which, by an increase of penalties, or in any other way that to the wisdom of Parliament stall appear most proper, may restrain in time coming the abuse and profanation of which the Presbytery of Annan have complained to the General Assembly, and to report to next Assembly." • Wednesday, the Assembly heard a Petition for John Samson, merchant in Kilmarnock. Mr. Samson had been married some years ago, and having applied to the Minister to have a child baptized, it was re fused on account of alledged fornication said to have been committed by him about 15 years before, unless he would appear and be rebuked. This he refused ; and the mother iii the mean time becoming sponsor, the child was baptized. The matter was brought before the Assembly, by an appeal from the sentence of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, remitting the cause to the Session of Kilmarnock. The Assembly, after hearing parties, • and reasoning on the c.ise, unanimously reversed the sentence of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr ; found, that in respea of the special circumstances of the c ase, it was not exr &tient to revive the scandal against John Samson ; and remit to the Kirk Sessio n of Kilmarnock to al mit him to church privileges, DUBLitY, YEOMANRY REVIEW. ON Monday last, the several Yeumanry Corps of this City met by agreement in the Phcenix Park, in order 10 a review of exercise, under the.direc tion of S ir CHARLES 2k , orLi.. Several of the County of Dublin Corps attended, by invitation, to keep the lines during the review. The litter were on their ground at nine o'clock in. 'the morning ; and we must say, that in our recollealon of Military Reviews, we never saw Lines so carefully maintain. ed. The following City Corps were in the field C . Av A i,R .--Lawyers, Merchants, Rotunda, Officers, At. totnies, Stephen's Green, Commanded by General ARCH. DALE. INFANTRY.—Merchants, College, Liberty Rangers, Law yers, Stephen's Green, Beresjord's, Latotides, Morrion- Sipare; Attornies, Circular Road, Rotunda, Linen Hall, Barrack, Revenue. Right Wing, Gen. DuNtl—Lett Wing, Gen. LEITH. The whole commanded by Major-Gen. Sir C. A soiLL. About twelve o'clock the, Commander of the Forces entered the field; his approach was annonn ced by seventeen guns froM ,the Castle and Linen- Hall Artillery, p mted on' the flanks and in the centre of the Infantry LineS. • . . The whole of the Cavalry and Infantry, which had been formed in four columns, now, upon a sig_ nal-grin, by an echellon movement deployed into line, and saluted the Commander of the Forces, who rode in front and rcre of the Line, inspeding the wh ,, le. Upon another signal, the whole line wheel ' ed backward into columns of companies, and passed the Commander of the Forces in ordinary time to their former ground, where they again formed into line. The Brigades then advanced in echellon and fired. The Line then changed position, and advanced, firing by alternate Brigades. The Line again charrd position, and fired by Corps ; opened ranks, saluted, and marched off the field by Corps. When the review of the City Corps had ended, it was signified to the County Corps, who came to keep the Lines, that the Commander of the Forces would inspeft them : they accordingly formed in the following order : CAVALRY. Rathdown, Rathiarnham, S. Fingal. li*/FANTRY.—Rathdown, Dundrum, Laughlinstown,Rane lagh, Donnybrook, Palmerstown, 'l3aggotratn, Sandy ' mount. Having saluted the Commander of the Forces, they passed him in column to quick time ; and about seven o'clock in the evening marched off the field. The number of Yeomanry present we suppose, to have been about soon. The following General Orders to the Yeomanry were issued on Monday evening last : G. 0. Dublin, May 21, 1804. " The Commander of the Forces,.requests Nlajer- Gen. Sir CHARLES ASG IL L, to convey his Tha.iks to the Yeomanry of Dublin, and of its immediate vicinity, ter the gratification he has nad in seeing so numerous au assembl..ge of their re spcdive Corps this morning in the Phoenix Park. It is but justice to the Yeomnry, in expressing his en the approbation of the appearance and pertbrmance of their Corps ( which exceeded his nr,st . sanguine expectations), to declare eye contd.:rice which he has always felt, but in" which he is still more cuntirined by every opportunity he has of s:eing them,. that their intrepidity and good service iii the hour of danger, will be equal to their appearance and to the character of loyalty and zeal they have so justly acquired. " That danger, and the serious events of War must he ex cannot he denied ; but nothing will tend more to preserve Ireland . from the mischiefs of Invasion or Insurrec tion, than the constant and unremitting vigilance and alert ness of its Yeomen." LIVERPOOL, MAY 26. ON Monday last, the 21st inst. came on the elec tion of a new Mayor and Bailiffs, for this town, agreeable to the late decision of-the Court of King's Bench, and the Mandamus issued in consequence; when JOHN BRIDGE ASPINALL, Esq. was chosen Mayor, and - I.HomAs MOLYNEUX, Esq. and Dr. JAMES GERRARD, Bailiffs; on which occasion the trimost unanimity and cordiality prevailed. The new Mayor and Bailiffs were attended from the Hustings by a large party of respedable Gentlemen, Merchants, and others, preceded by a very consi derable body of the Burgesses and Tradesmen, with the Colours of their respedive Societies, to his house in Duke.street. The party afterwards accompanied our late wor thy Chief Migistrate, WILLIAM HARPER, Esq. to his house at Everton, in testimony of their respeec and gratitude for his very upright and impartial con_ duet during the time of his being in office, which they evinced by repeated huzzas. CRICKET.

J. CHICHESTER, ESQ. , The Plaintiff is an eminent jobman in horses, the Defendant, a Gentleman well-known on. 'the Turf, residing on his estate in Devonshire. The. former had purchased of the latter a_coach-horse, r! ) q, price, of forty guineas, under the warranty of his hey ; ing quiet in harness. 'The horse, had been offered for sale by the Plaintiff to Lord Rosslyn, and had been rejeaed, on the first trial, on account of the symptoms of restiveness he exhibited. Mr. GARROW, for the Plaintiff, said, Lord Ross lYn could not attend to give testimony, on account of a severe indisposition ; but several of his servants deposed to the violent resistance, and . untradable. ness ,of the animal, on the occasion of the first ex periment, so as to endanger the lives of the person; attempting to controul him.. Mr. ERSKI NE, for the Defendant, produced testi, mony to the. quietness of the animal fn- a period of nine years he said, that the bcast, like himself, had often gone as Leader, .5 . ometimes on one side, sometimes err the other, and that Ile himself A!s he had been found pe;paly trctlable Oa fit& r side. He then sent for Nathaniel Feilowes, E,q. from the Mi.!dlesex Committee, who had frequently driven the horse, and gave evidence to his safety ; and, last c f all, he called john Gilpin, to shew he did net run acwoj 'with him. Ile fortkr proved, that he had been driven at harrows, and in a unicorn team, or what is called a coach and three. The Learned Counsel then said, he should come to the conclusive deposi. tior. at length, and produced testimony to the ani mal having been driven in a tandem. Lord EILE:NDOROUCII.---" This is a horse sold under a warranty to go temperately in harness, and the evidence on both sides is strong and contradie, tory. On the part of the Defendant there is a chasm, as the tradable disposition of the animal had not been broUght up to the precise time of the sale to the Plaintiff, and a horse very quiet might be soon rendered ferocious and unmana i l,eable by abuse and wantonness."—Verdid for the Defendant. CALPMAR BURNETT. This was the last Cause to be heard at Westrriin. ster, and it was under the singular circumstance of the defence being concluded by the Attorney, his Counsel being absent, unavoidably, from the neces sity of his attendance in the House of Lords. The Plaintiff had taken a lodging under a finitious The Defendant had engaged apartments in the same house. The former was accompanied by -a Lady, whom he cslled his wife : the latter was discovered in the room with this female, whence some uneasi. Ness arose in the breast of the Plaintiff, which re quires no explanation. Mr. GARROW stated the above circumstances, that the Defendant also, in the course of the dispute struck the Plaintiff several times, and produced tes. simony to the injury he had sustained. The Attorney, on behalf of theialendant, de nicti the assault in tote, and.endeavoured to establisl - , by the cross-extmination of the Plaintiff's •Wit nesses, that, there was no foundation whatever for the present aaion. Lord ELLENBOROUGH.—" As far as we can col lea from the fads in evidence, the Plaintiff and De fendant seem to be rival candidates for the favour of this Lady. We all of us know, when the pas sions are inflamed, what is the probable consequence under such circumstances : the assault has been proved, and you will, perhaps, think very little compensa tion will answer the jutice of the case."

Yesterday three pickpockets surrounded a country Carmel - , near London Bridge, and robbed him of his pocket-hook., containing two Bank Notes—one for 201. and the other for fol. with other papers of va lue.—Being Observed, they were pursued, when one of them threw away the pocket-hook, which was re. covered. Oiie of the fellows made his escape, but the other two were secured and taken before the Lord Mayor, when the pocket-hook was produced, and the:fellow'Who threw it away was fully c , mmitted for trial : his companion, who endeavoured to rescue him, was ordered on board the Tender, to serve His Majesty. The artful felloW told his Lordship he was lane in - one hind, and crooked three of his fin. gers, which, upon being examined by the einsrable, pioved' to be perfealV sound. They were both known to be cld Offenders. On Sunday last, a well dressed man went into the Turk's Flead public-house, on the Kent Road, and called for a pint of beer. While it was drawing, he took a knife from his pocket, and cut his throat. Immediate assistance was procured, and althotigh much lacerated, it is hoped he, will recover.
