N D fi, TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1811. " Windsor Castle, 181 4 " MAJIMITY has passed a gond night, and is still rather better. H. ft REYNOLDS. " M. BM LLIE. " W. HhilEliDEN. " R. Wrws." Protests, we are informed by the Murnirtg Clzro nick, have been entered by several Peers against the Resolution for preserving the words " subject to such restrictions and limitations at shall hereafter be provided," and. against the Resolution of the two Houses for drawing Money froM the Exchequer for the Public: Service. The same Paper proceeds to add-- " These are important documents, and will re " main strong, but we fear ineffectual Memorials, against the dangerous precedent now attempted "to be put on record. Nothing but the untied 4 , sen s e o f the people, loudly pronounced, will be " sufficient, in our minds, to preserve us against this 1 ' violation of the most necessary of all ti:e checks " in the pratitce of our Government.—We trust that the Counnon Couticil of London will this " day manifest their DISAPPRODATI.)I4 Upe.ll this " PRESUMTTUOVB ACT with the firmness wli;cb be " longs to their character; and that everyintle. " pendent Body in the United Kingdom Will de " Clare their sentiments upon it." With reaped to the former Resolution, theChro. aide is incorrect in point of taut, the two Houses of ligment, in voting reilri6lOtii opots the Regent, have not now for the first time estaelish, ci the pre cr,lent.they have only followed a precedent ex actfy in point, whit: they found ins the Journals of Parliaasent. It is true, the Opposition and the Morning Chronicl6 of the year Oats, and the Op• position •and tie Morning Chronicle of the year 181 t disapproved of those rep striations, but they were approved of •in both instances by the =jot sty of both Houses of Parliament, and we aro con vinced by a very great Majority of thq People. It is, therefore, tattier too much to hear the Opposition Party and their supporters arrogating to them selves' tires sole, exclusive right of determining whether a measure be constitutional or not. — The caper to which we have alluded,• and which decides so peremptorily upon the measures of the Iwo Houses of Parliament, has very recently al • forded two notable instances of its kiioA ledge of, or ofits regard for, the Constitution. Very soon atter the commencement of His MAslNTY . SitldiapOillioll, 1 it boldly asserted, that in the event of the temporary . incapacity of the Sovereign, the Heir Apparent be came, ipso fatio, invested with all the powers of, Royally, and that the two I-louses of Parliament had only to find the fact. This doctriuc, which maintain' ed, in circa, that the Regent ought to aCtiore was too absurd even fur the party to adopt, and we have never heard it broached any where but in the paper to which we arc referring. Another doctrine, which appeared to us, end we have no. doubt to the Country at large, most repugnant to the Constitu- tion, was, that the Proceedings in Parliament might to have bean governed by the Protest, as it was terMeds, signed by the Royal Dukes. Their Royal Highnesses, we are convinced, had no ,441C11 object in view when they signed that Patio.; but the I M orn i n g Chronicle, meaning, we suppose, to give us a specimen of the new Whig principles, en deavoured to give it that etlett. Finding that the decision of has been adverse to the views of the Party, the Chronicle snakes an appeal to the People, and expresses its hope that the " Common Council of the City of London will trait nifest its disapprobation of this presumptuous as ;" meaning the Resolution agreed to by both Houses of Parliament. Upon such language all comment . is unnecessary; but we cannot help noticing the extraordinary coincidence of opinion between the Morning Chronicle and Sir FRANCIII BUIIDETT, with regard to the Common Council : the one wants its Members to be called in to assist the delibera tions of Parliament ; :Mil the other has so elevated a notion of its ai g nity that it calls upon it to mani fest its disapprobation of the presumptuous 06t of this House's of Lords and Commons ! ! • The Chronicle then proceeds to throw out insinu ations tespetiting the division—it talks of the Bed " chamber Lords—of the Heads of the Household-- " of linemen of all deseriptlorta-h.of the Itepre ,, seotative Lords, who owed their elet'ition to Mi " histers—of Archtiishops and Bishops, who alio " owed their eleaion to their recommendation---and " of new Peers, who owe to them gratitude fur their " Nies." 1. If these insinuations have iny force, they are at least equally applicable to both sides ; indeed it must operate more strongly on the side of these out of office than upon' those that are in, because, as there are always more expeaaqts than places, or as it was once ludicrously said in the House of Com mons, " more pigs than teals," there would be more pawns actuated by the desire of obtaining, than there could be with the wish of retaining of-; fice. We beg, however, to disclaim any ;Inputs tat;on of the kind; we-by no means behe%e that the Members of either House of Parliament ore aaluated by such unworthy mOiives—we have a much higher opinion of the clora6lers of public men, and of the motives by is hich they are go verned, and, we always lament when, for party purposes, insinuations of the kind that we have al luded to are thrown out, because they are only cal culared,t6 excite among the People a groundless dis trust of those who, from' their rank, talents, and property, are best qualified to serve the Country. This morning we receiv4 some Paper' by the :Inhott from which extraas will be found in a subsequent Coluion. Yesterday was tlie birth 7 day of her Royal High q(...rt the N,riticass CHARLOTTE of WALas, who has 11./ 'V completed her fiftevoth year. Her Royal F. It he! celebrated thwanniversary v.ith a grand en lertainment at Carleton House, of which a great ownberof Nobility and persons of distinalion par.. wok. Her Royal Highness honoured the company with her orettertm , - Iler'lloyal Highness received`the visits and com pliments of the Nobility at her residence, at War wick House. In the evening the Tradesmen of the young Princess had eutertaintnents, and illumi rutted. ~ In an extra& era letter from Windsor, the fol lowing circumstance is stated as evidence of his MA aSTY'S convAleseence:—" on some very recent oc casions, when his MAJESTY, in consequence et his defective sh;hl, s rock a wrong key on the harpsi chord, he instlintly corrected the error, modulated the tune, and finished it with his accustomed sci ence and judo - pent. The harpsichord on which his MAJEsTy plays, formerly belonv,ed to the great HANDEL, and is supposed'in have been manutitc. tured at Antwerp in the year itit2.

The Archduke CllAilLas and the He'reditaryPrinee of Austria, are, it is sail, to visit Paris in the ensu ing winter, at the approach of the acuouchernent of Maria-Louisa. The veteran General ALVINZY, so well known in the war of the first Citalnion, died at Buda on the gOth November, of' a tit of apoplexy. He was, in the 75th year of his age, and the .67th of his s,rvice. He had tramatted business in his otlice, as Commandant- 01 Hungary, for several hours, on the. very day of his death ' It is apprehended that more losses have been ex perienced iu the Channel than it has yet been pos ,sible to ascertain. A large West Indianian is sup posed to have been totally wrecked, and her crew to have perished, as will be seen by the folloWing letter from our Correspondent at Brighton : "JANUARYti, I d 1 I .--The Endeavour, G. WHITT, owner; and the Success ; J. WHITa, OWtlcr, fish,ng boats of Hastings, ran info this place on Tuesday, with seventeen pukes of West-India cotton, which they had picked up at sea, and a :rich they honestly end safely delivered into the Custom-house. The rnmour is, that a West Indiaman has been run down in the Channel by one of our Glees, and that the cotton made part of her cargo. Each poke it it said, is worth beßer than one hundred pounds, consenuently the salvage to the fishermen will amount !O something worth their acceptance." The admirers of Mr. PITT t and they comprise all wise and honest men, will rejoice to hear that MAR CHANT has nearly finished an intaslio of that great man, which is accurate in resemblance, and b.!auti• fol as a work of art. It is done for Mr. Rosa, whose attachment to th illustrious statesman is not to be impaired by time and events. The effeet of the present weather upoa the river renders it un objed of much curiosity. For several days it has been covered on the . Middlesex shore, between Somerset House and Westminster Bridge, with one solid sheet of rough ice, which every flood tide haa increased, the current then concurring with th e wind to drive new masses of floating ice against it. This solid covering, yer . ,terdity, reached nearly us fur out as the centre arch of the bridge, and there wait a floating body of large loose masses, passing it, to the breadth of one ut two arches beyond the center. A little below the bridge, the solid mass was still wider, and by this and the moving ice, which was so close as to be distinguishable from ii,the river was there so tar covered, that riot more than one third of it wait navigable. Between two and' three o'clock four adventurous fellows, with boat. hooks in their hands,. got upon the ice off Rich mond-house, and with much difficulty,, front the roughness of it, went about a hundred yards from the 'shore, and returned. If the wind and weather continue as they are for five or six days, the river will be completely frozen over at Westinitister bridp. NAVAL NEWS.
