which have been done in another country, by an o

let the name uf libel be blotted out of our books.
Let the thing be considered no longer a subject of

on a charge like this, to preseut himself before such

in the discharge ol your duly you will come to the

Sir Francis Rurdett having been invited, by let

At all times, and in all placet, whether their repre*

The Russians continue their^progress in Turkey,
and the capture of the strong fortress of Sillistr'ia
has opened Bulgaria in their armies—the next pro
vince that contains tbe capital, and if Bonaparte
i interfere not, end say to his Prefect of Petersburg,
“ It is my pleusure that you go no further,* the
■ Russian arms under tbe weakest of her monarch*,
j will realise the desires, and accomplish the poliry
of Catharine, and the descendants of the Barbarous
Dukes of Russia will sit down upon the throne at
Constantine.—And this will be congenial with the
I spirit and events of the times, in which we have
I seen a Mediterranean Mulatto wade hit way to
the throne of the most polished people upou the
continent, and " the eternal city1* conquered and ad
ded to the dominions of this modrrn Al-trir.
It will surprise us, however, if he suffer Alexan
| der to complete the conquest of Turkey, and make
himself master of Constantinople. From the Bos
[ phorus to the Baltic, from tlieatlautic to the Black
Sea he will endeavor to enlarge hia empire, and hav*
! mg already extended it over as large a apace almost
as was occupied by the arms of Cbarlamagne, he
will attempt to effect, and add the city of Constan
tinople to his other possessions. He nr his para
sites have fondly bestowed upon him the appellation
of Charlemagne—perhaps it may be ignorance or
blindness on our parts, that prevent us from dis
cerning many features »f resemblance between them.
| 'There is one, however, which is very striking. In
: drawing the character of Charlemagne, Gibbon
says : “ the sedentary reader is amased by tbe in
cessant urticity of mind and body | and his sub
jecta and enemies were less astonished at hia sudden
presence, at the moment when they believed him at
the most distant extremity .of the empire ; neither
peace nor war, summer nor winter, were a season
of repose ; and our fancy cannot easily reconcile the
annals of his reign with tbe geography of bis expe
ditions."
THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE.
Those who have attended to the state of the Bri
lieh navy during the Iasi fifteen years, will recollect
the old Queen Charlotte, which every officer consi
dered the finest ship in the service. Lord Hqwe de
feated the French on the first of June, on board the
Queen Charlotte, fighting under the union jack at
the main, an honour which na admiral had ever
beforeacquired. After ttye most brilliant services,
she was unfortunately destroyed by fire in the Me
durrranean. To preserve the name and memory o(
a ship so glorious in our annals, tbs keel of a three
decker was laid down at the king's yard, Deptford^
to be built on the model of the Queen Charlotte,
and to he as like her us possible. The master build
er, in the opinion of tjje best judges, hat closely fol
lowed bis instructions? The ship, which now bears
the revered name of her majesty, ts-npnken of in the
highest terms. If she is hot the largest three dech
er in the navy, she is perhaps the most compact
and constructed t^» answer all,the purposes of war..
