Yesterday her MAJN.STY, aCCOMpinied by the Princess F.4 . LIZABIsTIi, arrived 111 the Castle at half past three o'clock,. front London, in their trn• yelling carriage, escorted by a party of the Light Horse. This morning her- Majesty and the Princesses .Augusta and Elizabeth, attended by their Ladies In Waiting, went to Eaton College, where they arrived about twelve o'clock, and were received by the Provost and the Heads of the College. The Prince Regent arrived tlirectly after from London. 'ln a short time after the procession for the Illontenz was formed, anti began to move according to their orders, to view which there was the most company assembled that has been known upon any similar occasion for a number of years past. The young Gentlemen of the College proceeded on to Salt-hill, according to custom, in grand procession, attended by the bands of the Royal Horse Guards and the Coldstream Regi ment of Foot Guards, in their full tiniforins ; the young Gentlemen receiving from the Royal Fa mily, the Nobility, and others assembled upon the occasion, the usual gratuities. The Royal Family returned to - the Castle, and afterwards went to Frogniore, where the young Gentlemen of the College•were to be entertained. BRITISH INSTITUTION.—The Directors of tit excellent Asylum and nursery of Native Genius, with the liberality xvh;cll characterizes all, their proceedings, last night opened their Rooms gra tuitously fort he •inspection of their friends. The Rooms were most splendidly illuminated, and the Works of the several deceased .British Artists ap peared to great advantage. There was a very nume rous assemblage of the higher orders present. The Rooms Indeed were almost crowded, and the com pany had not disperied till a late hour. This is the second nocturnal exhibition this season, and we understand that it is to be repeated in the same liberal' manner on every Tuesday, 'till the close of the present gratifying , view of the powers of Departed Genius. COLOWIIL G. J. itaavas.—The Corporation of Dublin have voted this gallant Officer the Free dom of the City, as a signal mark of their ap apptobation for the distinguished part which he took in the late war. Colonel Reeves, at the commencement of the war, was a Lieutenant of Grenadiers in the Bth Regiment of Foot, at the reduction of the French West Indies by Sir Chas. Grey, in the year 1793 ; after which he served in various parts of the world, ;until severely wound ed at the close of the last campaign in Catalonia, in Spain. 'Colonel Reeves returned thanks in person to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of Dublin, for the WO honour which they had con ferred upon Inns, and which many circumstances made Mtlat gratifying, but amongst those there was none greater than the manner in,.which he Battered himself this honour would be appreciated by a noble and most, distinguished. Officer, by whom Colonel Reeves had the honour of being patronized through life, we mean General Lord Hutchinson.—(Dublin Paper.) Wnzr MoNDAY.—Amongst the rural sports in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, which took place on' Monday, :in commemoration of Whit Monday, that at Lark .Hall, Clapham, far exceed ed any thing of the kind in innocent amusement and regularity. Eight ponies, under 13 hands, started, and had three heats, for a bridle and sad dle, that would have graced lipsom or Ascot. Be tween each beat, 12 donkies started for' a prize, which gave more amusement than can .be de- scribed ; and a jingling match, which lasted an • hour and a half, finished the day. The lovers of the Drama , will learn with in-,' finite regret, that a very few weeks will terminate the professional career of Mr. KIMBLE. WC un.; derstand it is in contemplation to' present a re spectful tribute to this great Master of the His trionic Art on his retirement from the Stage, which his powerful and transcendent talents have for many years so splendidly adorned. The list of those who have already come forward, in addi tion to all the Performers of both .Theatres, com prehends.many of the highest and most .distin guished rank, and most of the first literary cha racters of the day. • l'el.C)DlltN !tfl.F(ill.ll:?.S.

To refresh the Memory of a Public they endeavour to . misguide, I send you a List of merely some few Gallic Reformers, who, with thousands of others, are " damned to everlasting fame" in the French revolutionary annals, and who, notwith• standing the baseness of their extraction, or their avowed poverty and immorality, have figured both at the first blow given to legitimate Mouarchy on the 14th July, 1789, and at its overthrow on the 10th August, 1792:-- SANTEitRE, a Brewer. HULIN, a Scullion in the Queen's 'Kitchen, one of the limes of the &utile, as he was called. LE COINTE, a Linen-draper and Smug;ler at Versailles. GORSAS, a Schoolmaster. C;HAPTAL, a Druggist.

Mr. EDITOR,—In the above List arc found the names of Monarchical Reformers, Constitutional Reformers, Republican Reformers,'Levelling Re formers, Anarchical Reformers ; Reformers by Philosophy, Reformers -- by - Atheism, Reformers by Terrorism, Reformers by Requisition, Retor - - tners by Maximums, Reformers by Economy, Re formers by Conscriptions, and Reformers by the Guillotine, all more or less tyrants when in autho rity, courting popularity to oppress the people, prating in favour of liberty when meditating the most arbitrary sway, and praising equality when enduring, in fact, neither an equal nor a superior. —I Am, A Loyal Subject, Trowbriflgi, May 2C, 1:117.

Snme disagreement arose between Mr. ADOL. PHUS and Mr. ANDREWS, at Clerkenwell Sessions, on Monday evening. It appears the parties were engaged in a parish case, and some interruption having taken place, words arose, which suspend ed the proceedings of the Court for a short time, and upon Mr. ADOLPHUS quitting the Court, Mr. ANDRRwS followed him, and blows ensued; after which, Mr. GIEDLICR, the Magistrate, appeared, and bad them taken into custody, and held to bail. ANOTHER ACCOUNT .-- On Monday afternoon, at the Middlesex Sessions, in the bearing of an appeal from the Marlborough-street office respect ing some reputed thieves, in which Mr. Adolphus and Mr Andrews were engaged as opposite Coun sel, these learned gentlemen differed as to the le gal clinittnetion of the 18th clause of the Police Act, as applicable to rogues and vagabonds. The barristers left the Court together, and just as they got ro_the buttons of the stairs in the passage leaditig to the dining-room, Mr.'Andrews gave Mr. Adolphus a violent blow with his umbrella, which ,Mr. Adolphus returned with his umbrella; the consequence was a battle-royal, or a general set•to took place, not only with umbrellas but with fists, till Humphreys, the Bow -street con stable, and Others, interfered to separate them ; after whidb Mr. Adolphus went op to the Old Bailey ; the Court or Bench of Magistrates hear- . isg of the unpleasant circumstance, Mr. Andrews was sent for to attend before them, in a - private room, when we understand be was held to bail in NW. -Mr. Adolphus was before the Magistrates yesterday, but we (lid not learn what took place. The animosity arose from some personal allusions vas to the gentleman's origin. Mr. Andrews ap peared in Court yesterday, with his nose and one of his eyes bruised. ROYAL Visyr.---The Royal Menagerie, Exeter •Icheoge, has become thelashionahle:scene of at traction since the accouchement of the Lioness, and the attention of the heantiful Spaniel Wet Nurse (belonging to Mr. CLARK), whose fond regard forthe two whelps, together with her own offspring Jbeing one of twelve pups), is truly astonishing. They were yesterday honoured with Many 'distinguished visitors, among whom was his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, who ex. pressed much admiration in viewing this wonder ful collection of Natural History. FRAUD. —A Gentleman lately purchased of an itinerant vender, two dozen of Black-lead Pencils, for which. he paid a liberal price. 'To his astonish ment only half a dozen were fit for use.--;-Ile men tioned this ciretustance,to a friend, who thus re plied: " Yon have not heen taken in as I have been.

The History of this L.:o - untry will thew, (Net - since vvhat have been termed '' Gocri TIMES" there have been always disconten , HL:;(! factious Reformet internal and external, htltt and,Traitors. During the memorable year 171 L, when the subversion of the Gov, rwnent %vas threatened, and a Rebel Army advancing into the heart of the Country, it %vas found that :heic were domestic Malcontents actively at work to assist in the overthrow of the House of liauss wick, which, if a Popish . Prince had obtained the regal power, would have prepared the way for a total destination of the PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY. At that period, therefore, Government found it to be absolutely necessary for the'preservation of the Establishment in Church and State, to sus. pend the HABEAS CORPUS Acr, as has been done at present for the sante salutary purpose. The cry of Faction was raised, and the entire abolition of popular freedom was confidently predicted. But all these terrific prognostications have been proved to be mere Brutem fulmen. The Constitution was preserved, and public liberty secured by that very measure. The Suspension Was defended by AD , . DISON in one of the numbers of his FRER-HOLGER, and as the name, as well as the arguments, of that great Man must give.a solid support to any cause of which his pen was the advocate, we con ceive that we shall satisfy all reasonable people, and confound the Disaffected, by the revival of a work written by so great an ornament of British Literature. It cannot be urged that ADDI3OI was the slave of a Court. Let his Cate: and his other imperishable works speak for him, and ;hew that he was a determined friend to public free. dom. lie who could exclaim, — Liberty, thou goddess heavenly bright, " Profuse of bliss and pregnant with delight," would not have been the servile instrument of any set of men who might attempt to abridge the rights of their fellow-subjects. We shall, there fore, by reviving the WISDOM of upwards of a hundred years old, baffle the pretences, and thew the futility of the predictions, of the' present race of POLITICAL PROPIIETS.

" It being the design of these papers to recoil. die men' to their own happiness, by removing those Wrong notions and prejudices which hinder them front seeing the advantage of themselves and their posterity in the present establishment, I cannot but take notice of every thing that by the artifice of our enemies is made a matter of com. plaint. " OE this nature is the Suspension of the Ha. bees Corpus Act, by which his Majesty has been enabled, in these times of danger, to seize an 4 detain the persons of such, NV:10 he had reason to believe were conspiring against his person and GoVernment. The expediency and reasonable. !less of such a temporary Suspension in the pre sent juncture may appear to every considerate man, who will turn his thoughts impartially ion this subject. " I have chosen in points of this nature to draw :my arguments from the fist principles of Government, which, as they ore of no party, hilt assented to by ever) reasonable man', carry the greater weight with them, and are accommodated to the notions of all my readers. - .Ever,' one knows, who has considered the nature of Govern ment, that there must be in each particular form of it an absolute and unlimited power ; and that this power is lodged in the hands of those, who ave the making of its laws, whether by. the na- titre of the CODStittltioll it he in one or mow persons, in a single order of men, of in a mixt body of different ranks and degrees. It is an ab surdity to imagine that those, who have the au. dimity of making laws,, cannot snspcnd any liar.. ticular law, when they think it expedient for , the public. Withont suet► a - power all government would be defective, and not armed with a •stiffi. cient force for its own security. As self-preser vation by all honest methods is the first duty of every community, as well as of every lis ivate per son, so the public safety is the general view of ,all laws. When, therefore, any law does not conduce to tl►is 4reat e►nd, but. on the contrary, bOnit. extraordinary awl unnatural junctures, the very observation of it woold endanger, the com munity, that law ought to he laid asleep for sud► it time, 4y the proper authority. Tints the very intention of our Habeas Corpus Act, namely, the preservation of the liberties:of the subject, abso lately rewires that Ait , to be DQW suspended, since the Confinement of dangerous and suspected persons, who might strengthen this rebellion, and spread a civil war through all parts of this kingdom, secures to us our Civil Rights,. and every thing that can be valuable to a free people. As every Government in its nature be armed with such an authority, we may observe that those Governments which have been the most famous fur public spirit, and the most jealous of, their liberty, have never failed to exert it upon proper occasions.
