The rev'd Mr. Buckley, of Colchester, in Connecticut, was famous in his day as a casuist and sage counsellor. A church in his neighbourhood had fallen into unhappy divisions and contentions, which they were unable to adjust among themselves. They deputed one of their number to the venerable Buckley for his advice; with a request that he would send it to them in writing. The matter was taken into serious consideration, and the advice with much deliberation committed to writing. It so happened, that Mr. Buckley had a farm in an extreme part of the town, upon which he entrusted a tenant, (for in those aristocratic days of our forefathers it was no sin for a clergyman to own lands and other property, provided he came honestly by them.) It was necessary for Mr. Buckley to give some directions to his tenant; in supercribing the two letters, the one for the church was directed to the tenant, and the one for the tenant to the church. The church was convened to hear the advice which was to settle all their disputes—the moderator read as follows:
"You will see to the repair of the fences, that they be built high and strong, and you will take special care of the old Black Bull."
The mythical advice puzzled the church at first; but an interpreter among the more discerning ones was soon found, who said—"Brethren, this is the very advice which we need. The direction to repair the fences is to admonish us to take good heed in the admission and government of our members. We must guard the church by our Master's laws, and keep out strange cattle from the fold. And we must in a very particular manner set a watchful guard over the Devil, the old Black Bull, who has done us so much hurt of late."
All perceived the wisdom and fitness of Mr. Buckley's advice, and resolved to be governed by it. The consequence was, all their animosities subsided, and peace and harmony were restored to the long afflicted church. What the subject of the letter sent to the tenant was, and what good effects it had upon him, the story does not tell us.

ST. JAMES'S PARK GHOST.
On Sunday, at one o'clock, the Adjutant of the Coldstream Regiment, went to the orderly room, at the Horse Guards, and sent for George Jones, of the 16th company, for the purpose of interrogating him respecting the ghost, as it was one of the men who had seen it; and had been considerably affected by the sight. The man accordingly attended, and declared his readiness to make oath of the truth of what he had already stated.
The following is a copy of a declaration which he afterwards made and signed before an officer:—
"I do solemnly declare, that whilst on guard at the Recruit-house, on or about the 3d instant about half past one o'clock in the morning, I perceived the figure of a woman, without a head, rise from the earth, at the distance of about three feet before me. I was so alarmed at the circumstance, that I had not power to speak to it, which was my wish to have done; but I distinctly observed that the figure was dressed in a red striped gown, with red spots between each stripe, and that part of the dress and figure appeared to me enveloped in a cloud."
"In about the space of two seconds, whilst my eyes were fixed on the object, it vanished from my sight. I was perfectly sober and collected at the time, & being in great trepidation, called to the next sentinel, who met me about half way, and to whom I communicated the strange sight I had seen."
GEORGE JONES, Of Lieut. Col. Taylor's Company Coldstream Guards." "Westminster, Jan. 15, 1804."
In addition to the declaration of Jones, there is another as follows:
"I do hereby declare, that whilst on guard behind the Armoury-house, (to the best of my recollection about three weeks ago) I heard at twelve o'clock at night, a tremendous noise, which proceeded from the window of an uninhabited house, near to the spot where I was upon duty. At the same time I heard a voice cry out—'Bring me a light! bring me a light!' The last sentence was uttered in so feeble and so changeable a tone of voice, that I concluded some person was ill, and conse-
quently offered them my assistance to procure a light. I could, however obtain no answer to my proposal, although I repeated it several times, and as often heard the voice use the same terms. I endeavoured to see the person who called out, but in vain. On a sudden the violent noise was renewed, which appeared to resemble falls of windows lifted hastily up and down, but then they were moved in such quick succession, and at different parts of the house nearly at the same time, that it seemed impossible to me that one person could accomplish the whole business. I heard several of the regiment say they have heard similar noises and proceedings, but I have never heard the cause accounted for."

RICHARD DONKIN,
"12th company of Coldstream Guards."
"Whitehall, Jan. 15, 1804."
On Monday the above George Jones was brought before Sir Richard Ford, to be interrogated respecting the light he was supposed to have seen. Previous to his examination, Mr. Stafford, the Chief Clerk, endeavoured to find out whether imagination had received any impressions from reading any dismal story, or if he had the time the phantom appeared to him, fostered the story of the Hammersmith Ghost to dwell on his mind, in order, if possible, to ascertain if he had been misled by his fancies. To these questions he answered in the negative. On being asked respecting the strange object he had seen, he solemnly declared, that he was ready at any time to make oath to what he had stated, and that he firmly believed he had seen a ghost. He detailed every thing in Court as near as possible to what is inserted under his own signature.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH DAY OF BURNS.
On Saturday the 28th ult. a select party of the friends and admirers of our native Bard, met at the cottage in which he was born to celebrate his birth day. Immediately after dinner, an Ode, composed for the occasion, was read to the company.
The memory of the Bard. The Patrons of the feast. The Laureat of the day, and similar toasts, afforded to the Prefes an opportunity of communicating to the Meeting a manuscript, which he stated, from respectable authority, to be the production of one of the sons of our lamented Poet. The Prefes sung it, to an appropriate air, and we give it to our readers for their perusal.
Hae ye seen in the fresh dewy morning The wild warbling red-breast sae clear? Or the low-dwelling snaw-breasted crow,
an, Suchaig'd wi' mild e'ening's soft tear?
O then ye hae seen my ain lassie, The lassie I lo'e best of a'; But O! frae the hame of my lassie, I'm mouy a lang mile awa'.
Her hair is the wings of the black bird, Her eye is the eye of the dove, Her lips are the mild-blushing rose bud, Her bosom's the palace of love.
Alas! when I sit down to study, I now can do na thing at a'; My book, I indeed keep my eyes on, My thoughts are wi' her that's awa'.
O Love! thou'rt a dear fleeting pleasure, The sweetest we mortals here know: Ah! soon is thy heaven bright gleaming O'ercast with the dark cloud of wo'.
Thus the moon on the oft changing ocean, D lights the warn sailor's glad eye, When red rush the storms of the desert, And the wild waves dark tumble on high.
Mr. Alderman Shaw of London, an Ayrshire gentleman, some time after the death of our admired Poet, patronized a subscription for the behoof of his widow and children. The sum to raise was vested in the 3 per cent. reduced annuities, and amounted to 500l. of that stock. As the parish of Ayr had given birth to the Bard, the Alderman wished that the Provost and Baillies of Ayr should take the management of this fund for their behoof, which they cheerfully accepted. One day last week, the Alderman, while in company with Sir
Francis Baring, the conversation turned on Mr. Burns, and the circumstances of his family, and being told that he had promoted a subscription for their relief, the worthy Baronet, who is an admirer of our Poet, begged that he also might have the honor of being a contributor, and immediately put into his hand 100l. sterling, which was also brought into the same stock, and the receipt sent to the magistrates, and with the 100l. makes 675l. 19s. 10d. 3 per cents, standing in the name of the Provost and Baillies of the town of Ayr, for the benefit of the widow and children of Robert Burns the Ayrshire Poet. We have additional pleasure in stating, that Mr. Addington had assumed the patronage of Mr. Burns's eldest son, Robert, and will soon place him in one of the public offices under government, where the road to honor and celebrity will be lie fair before him.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
ROYAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The public have for some time heard of an application made by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to be appointed, at the present emergency, to a military situation suited to his high place in the state. A correspondence took place on this subject between his Majesty, the Prince, the Duke of York, and Mr. Addington, and, as from the high rank of the parties, it must naturally be an object of great curiosity, we present it at length to our readers.
COPY.
"CARLTON-HOUSE, JULY 18, 1803.
SIR, The subject on which I address you presses so heavily on my mind, and daily acquires such additional importance, that notwithstanding my wish to avoid any interference with the disposition made by his Majesty's ministers, I find it impossible to withhold or delay an explicit statement of my feelings, to which I would direct your most serious consideration.
"When it was officially communicated to Parliament that the avowed object of the enemy was a descent on our kingdoms, the question became so obvious, that the circumstances of the times required the voluntary tender of personal services; when Parliament in consequence of this representation, agreed to extraordinary measures, for the defence of these realms alone, it was evident the danger was not believed dubious or remote. Animated by the same spirit which pervaded the nation at large, conscious of the duties which I owed to his Majesty and the country, I seized the earliest opportunity to express my desire of undertaking the responsibility of a military command; I neither did nor do presume on supposed talents as entitling me to such an appointment. I am aware I do not possess the experience of actual warfare; at the same time I cannot regard myself as totally unqualified or deficient in military science, since I have long made the service my particular study. My chief pretensions were founded on a sense of those advantages which my example might produce to the state, by exciting the loyal energies of the nation, and a knowledge of those expectations which the public had a right to form as to the personal exertions of their Prince, at a moment like the present. The more elevated my situation, in so much the efforts of zeal become necessarily greater, and I confess, that if duty had not been so paramount, a reflection on the splendid achievements of my predecessors would have excited in me the spirit of emulation; when, however, in addition to such recollections, the nature of the contest in which we are about to engage was impressed on my consideration, I should indeed have been devoid of every virtuous sentiment, if I felt no reluctance in remaining a passive spectator of armaments, which have for their object the very existence of the British empire."
"This was I influenced to make my offer of service, and I did imagine that his Majesty's ministers would have attached to it more value. But when I find that, from some unknown cause my appointment seems to remain so long undetermined; when I feel myself exposed to the obloquy of being regarded by the country as passing my time in idleness to the events which menace, and insensible to the call of patriotism, much more of glory; it then behoves me to examine my rights, and to remind his Majesty's ministers that the claim which I have advanced is strictly constitutional, and justified by precedent; and that in the
present situation of Europe, to deny my exercising it, is fatal to my own immediate honor, and the future interests of the crown."
"I can never forget that I have solemn obligations imposed on me by my birth, and that I should ever shew myself foremost in contributing to the preservation of the country. The time is arrived when I may prove myself sensible of the duties of my situation, and of evincing my devotion to that Sovereign, who, by nature, as well as public worth, commands my most affectionate attachment."
"I repeat, that I should be sorry to embarrass the government at any time, more particularly at such a crisis. But, since no event in my future life can compensate me for the misfortune of not participating in the honors and dangers which await the brave men destined to oppose an invading enemy, I cannot forget the earnest renewal of my application."
"All I solicit is, a more ostensible situation than that in which I am at present placed; for, situated as I am, as a mere Colonel of a regiment, the Major General commanding the brigade of which such a regiment must form a part, would justly expect and receive the full credit of pre-arrangement and successful enterpriz."
"I remain, Sir,
"Very sincerely, yours,
(Signed) G. P.
"Rt. hon. Henry Addington, &c. &c. &c."
JULY 26, 1803.
"A week has now elapsed since the Prince of Wales transmitted to Mr. Addington a letter on a subject of the highest importance; though he cannot anticipate a refusal to so reasonable a demand, he must still express some surprise that a communication of such a nature should have remained so long unanswered."
"When the Prince of Wales desired to be placed in a situation which might enable him to shew to the people of England the example of zeal, fidelity, and devotion to his Sovereign, he naturally thought that he was only fulfilling his appropriate duty. As the first subject of the realm in which it has pleased Providence to cause him to have been born, to be determined to maintain himself by all those honorable exertions which the exigencies of these critical times peculiarly demand. The motives of his conduct cannot be misconceived or misrepresented. He has, at a moment when every thing is at stake that is dear and sacred to him and to the nation, asked to be advanced in military rank, because he may have his birth-right to fight for, the throne of his father to defend, the glory of the people of England to uphold, which is dearer to him than life, which has yet remained unfulfilled under the Princes of the House of Brunswick, and which he trusts will be transmitted pure and uncontaminated to the latest generations. Animated by such sentiments, he was naturally desired to be placed in a situation where he can act according to the feelings of his heart and the dictates of his conscience."
"In making the offer, in again repeating it, the Prince of Wales considers that he has only performed his duty to himself, to the state, to the king, to Europe, whose fate may be involved in the issue of this contest. If this tender of his services is rejected he shall ever lament that all his efforts have been fruitless, and that he has been deprived of making those exertions which the circumstances of the empire, his own inclinations, and his early and long attention to military affairs, would have rendered so particularly grateful to himself, and he trusts, not entirely useless to the public."
"Downing Street, July 27, 1803.
"Upon receiving the letter with which Mr. Addington was last week honoured by the Prince of Wales, he assured his Royal Highness that it should be immediately laid before the King; this was accordingly done, and the letter is still in his Majesty's possession. A communication was afterwards made to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in a mode and through a channel which Mr. Addington humbly hoped his Royal Highness would approve—Mr. A. Howe, now finds it to be incumbent on him, in consequence of the expectation which has been expressed by his Royal Highness, to state that his Majesty, on being informed of the sentiments and wishes of the Prince of Wales, applauded in the strongest manner the
feelings by which his Royal Highness is actuated, but referring nevertheless to the answers which his Majesty had judged it necessary to return to similar representations—which, in obedience to the commands of his Royal Highness, had been laid before his Majesty upon former occasions."
"Carlton House, July 28, 1803.
"The Prince of Wales has received Mr. Addington's written communication of the last night. The Prince of Wales has only to observe, that he requires Mr. A. to submit to his Majesty his last note, dated the 26th of this month."
"Downing Street, July 28, half past 11, A. M."
"Mr. Addington is just honored with the commands of the Prince of Wales, and will not fail to lay his Royal Highness's letter, dated 26th of this month, before the King."
"Downing Street, August 1.
SIR,
"In obedience to the commands of your Royal Highness, I laid before his Majesty the letter dated 25th July, with which your Royal Highness had honoured me, and I have it in command from his Majesty to acquaint your Royal Highness, that the King had referred Mr. Addington to the order he had before him, with the addition—that the king's opinion being fixed, he desired that no further mention should be made to him upon the subject."
"I have the honor to be,

LETTER TO THE KING.
"Brighton, August 6.
SIRE,
"A correspondence has taken place between Mr. Addington and myself on a subject which deeply involves my honour and character. The answers which I have received from that Gentleman, the communication which he has made to the House of Commons, have left me no hope but an appeal to the justice of your Majesty. I make that appeal with confidence, because I feel that you are my natural advocate; and with the sanguine hope that the ears of an affectionate father may still be opened to the supplications of a dutiful son."
"I ask to be allowed to display the best energies of my character; to shed the last drop of my blood in support of your Majesty's Person, Crown, and Dignity; for this is not a war for empire, glory or dominion, but for existence. In this contest the lowest and humblest of your Majesty's subjects have been called on; it would therefore little become me who am the first and stand at the very footstool of the throne, to remain a name, and idle, and lifeless spectator of the mischiefs which threaten us, unconscious of the dangers which surround us, and indifferent to the consequences which may follow. Hanover is lost. England is menaced with invasion. Ireland is in rebellion. Europe is at the foot of France. At such a moment the Prince of Wales, yielding to none of your servants in zeal and devotion; to none of your subjects in duty; to none of your children in tenderness and affection, presumes to approach you, and again to repeat those offers which he has already made through Mr. Addington's Ministers. A feeling of honest ambition; a sense of what I owe to myself and to my family; and above all, the fear of looking in the public estimation of that gallant army which may be the support of your Majesty's crown, and my best hope here for command me to persevere, and to assure your Majesty, with all humility and respect, that, conscious of the justice of my claim, no human power can ever induce me to relinquish it."
"Allow me to say, Sire, that I am bound to adopt that line of conduct by every motive dear to me as a man, and sacred to me as a prince. Ought I not to come forward in a moment of unexampled difficulty and danger? Ought I not to share in the glory of victory, when I have every thing to lose by defeat? The highest places in your majesty's services are filled by the younger branches of the royal family, to me alone no place is assigned. I am not thought worthy to be the junior major-general of your army. If I could submit in silence to such indignities, I should, indeed, deserve such treatment,

and prove to the satisfaction of your enemies and my own, that I am entirely incapable of those exertions, which my birth and the circumstances of the times, peculiarly call for. Standing so near the throne, when I am debased, the cause of loyalty is wounded; I cannot sink in public opinion, without the participation of your Majesty in my degradation. Therefore, every motive of private feeling, and of public duty, induce me to implore your Majesty to review your decision, and to place me in that situation which my birth, the duties of my station, the example of my predecessors, and the expectations of the people of England, entitle me to claim.
"Should I be disappointed in the hope which I have formed, should this last appeal to the justice of my Sovereign, and the affection of my father fail of success, I shall lament in silent submission his determination; but Europe, the world, and posterity will judge between us.
"I have done my duty, my conscience acquits me; my reason tells me that I was perfectly justified in the requisition which I have made, because no reasonable arguments have ever been adduced in support of my pretensions. The precedents in our history are in my favour, but if they are not, the times in which we live, and especially the exigencies of the present moment, require us to become an example to our posterity.
"No other cause of refusal has, or can be assigned, except that it was the will of your Majesty. To that will and pleasure I bow with every degree of humility and resignation; but I can never cease to complain of the severity which has been exercised against me, and of the injustice which I have suffered, till I cease to exist. I have the honor to subscribe myself with all possible devotion,
Your Majesty's most dutiful and affectioned Son and subject. (Signed) G. P."
FROM THE KING. Windsor, 7th August.
"My dear Sir, "Though I stand your zeal and your spirit, of which I need no one can doubt, any of the family wanting, yet, considering the repeated declarations I have made of my determination on your former applications to the same purpose, I had flattered myself to have heard no farther on the subject. Still the implacable enemy so far succeeded as to land, you will have an opportunity of showing your zeal at the head of your regiment. It will be the duty of every man to stand to his post on such an occasion; and I shall certainly think it mine to set an example in defence of every thing that is dear to me and to my people.
"I ever remain my dear Sir, Your most affectionate Father, (Signed) G. R."
FROM THE PRINCE OF WALES TO THE KING. Brighton, 22d August.
"SIR, "I have delayed thus long an answer to the letter which your Majesty did me the honour to write, from a wish to refer to a former correspondence, which took place between us in the year 1793. Those letters were mislaid, and some days elapsed before I could discover them; they have since been found. Allow me then, Sir, to refer to your recollection the exertions you were graciously pleased to use, and which I once before took the liberty of reminding you of, when I solicited foreign service, upon my first coming into the army. They were, Sir, that your Majesty did not then see the opportunity for it; but that if any thing was to arise at home I ought to be 'first and foremost.' There cannot be a stronger expression in the English language, or one more consonant to the feelings which animate my heart. In this I agree most perfectly with your Majesty:—'I ought to be first and foremost.' It is the place which my birth affirms me—which Europe, which the English nation expect me to fill—and which the former assurances of your Majesty might naturally have led me to hope I should occupy. After such a declaration, I could hardly expect to be told that my place was at the head of a regiment of dragoons.
"I understand from your Majesty, that it is your intention, Sir, in pursuance of that noble example which you have ever shown during the course of your reign to place yourself at the head of the people of England. My next brother, the Duke of York, commands the army; the younger branches of my family are either generals or lieutenant-generals; and I who am the Prince of Wales, am to remain a colonel of dragoons. There is something so humiliating in the contrast, that those who are at a distance would either doubt the reality, or suppose that to be my fault, which is only my misfortune.
"Who could imagine that I, who am the oldest colonel in the service, had asked for the rank of a general officer in the army of the King my father, and
that it had been refused me. "I am sorry, much more than sorry, to be obliged to break in upon your leisure and to trespass thus a second time on the attention of your Majesty. But I have, Sir, an interest in my character more valuable than the throne, & dearer, far dearer to me than life. I am called upon by that interest to persevere; and I pledge myself never to desist, till I receive that satisfaction which the justice of my claim leads me to expect.
"In these unhappy times, the world, Sir, examines the conduct of princes with a jealous, a scrutinizing, a malignant eye. No man is more aware than I am of the existence of such a disposition, and no man is therefore more determined to place himself above all suspicion.
"In desiring to be placed in a forward situation, I have performed one duty to the people of England: I must now perform another, and humbly supplicate your Majesty to assign those reasons which have induced you to refuse a request which appears to me and to the world so reasonable and so rational.
"I must again repeat my concern, that I am obliged to continue a correspondence which I fear is not so grateful to your Majesty as I could wish. I have examined my own heart—I am convinced of the justice of my cause—of the purity of my motives. Reason and honor forbid me to yield; where no reason is alleged, I am justified in the conclusion that none can be given.
"In this candid exposition of the feelings which have agitated and depressed my wounded mind, I hope no expression has escaped me which can be construed to mean the slightest disrespect to your Majesty. I most solemnly disavow any such intention, but the circumstances of the times—the danger of invasion—the appeal which has been made to all your subjects, oblige me to recollect what I owe to my own honor and to my own character; & to state to your Majesty with the plainest truth, and candour, but with all the submission of a subject, and the duty of an affectionate son, the injuries under which I labour, and which it is in the power of your Majesty alone in one moment to redress.
"It is with sentiments of the profoundest veneration and respect that I have the honor to subscribe myself your Majesty's most dutiful, most obedient Son and subject. (Signed) G. P."
Brighton, October 2, 1803. "My dear brother,
"By last night's Gazette, which I have this moment received, I perceive that an extensive promotion has taken place in the army, wherein my pretensions are not noticed, a circumstance which, whatever may have happened upon other occasions, it is impossible for me to pass by at this momentous crisis, without observation.
"My standing in the army, according to the most ordinary routine of promotion, has it been so lowered, would have placed me either at the bottom of the list of Generals, or at the head of Lieutenant Generals. When the younger branches of my family are promoted to the highest military functions, my birth, according to the distinctions usually conferred upon it, should have placed me first on that list.
"I hope you know me too well, to imagine that idle inactive rank are in my view; much less is the direction and patronage of the military department an object which suits my place in the state, or my inclinations; but, in a moment when the danger of the country is thought by Government so urgent as to call forth the energy of every arm in its defence, I cannot but feel myself degraded, both as a Prince and a soldier, if I am not allowed to take a forward & distinguished part in the defence of that empire and crown, of the glory, prosperity and even existence of that people, in all which mine is then engaged.
"To be told I may display this zeal solely and simply at the head of my regiment, is a degrading mockery.
"If that be the only situation allotted me, I shall certainly do my duty, as others will, but the considerations to which I have already alluded, entitle me to expect, and bind me in every way to require, a situation more correspondent to the dignity of my own character and to the public expectation.
"It is for the Duke of tendering my services in a way more formal and official than I have before pursued, that I address this to you, my dear brother, as the commander in chief, by whose councils the constitution presumes that the military department is administered.
"If those who have the honor to advise his Majesty on this occasion, shall deem my pretensions, among those of all the royal family, to be the only one fit to be rejected and disdained, I may at least hope, as a debt of justice and honor, to have it explained, that I am laid by in virtue of that judgment, and not in consequence of any omission or want of energy on my part, &c. &c. &c. (Signed) G. P. W."
His Royal Highness the Duke of York, Horse Guards, Oct. 6, 1803.
Dearest Brother, Nothing but an extraordinary press of business would have prevented me from acknowledging sooner your letter of the 2d inst. which I received while at Oatlands on Monday evening.
I trust that you are too well acquainted with my affection for you, which has existed since our most tender years, not to be assured of the satisfaction I have ever felt, and ever must feel, in forwarding, when in my power, every desire or object of yours, and therefore will believe how much I regret the impossibility there is, upon the present occasion, of my executing your wishes of laying the representation contained in your letter before his Majesty.
Suffer me, my dearest brother, as the only answer that I can properly give you, to recal to your memory what passed upon the same subject soon after his Majesty was graciously pleased to place me at the head of the army; and I have no doubt that, with your usual candor, you will yourself see the absolute necessity of my declining it.
In the year 1795, upon a general promotion taking place, at your instance I delivered a letter from you to his Majesty, urging your pretensions to promotion in the army; to which his Majesty was pleased to answer, that before ever he had appointed you to the command of the 10th light dragoons, he had caused it to be fully explained to you what his sentiments were with respect to a Prince of Wales entering into the army, and the public grounds upon which he never could admit of your considering it as a profession, or of your being promoted in the service. And his Majesty, at the same time, added his positive commands and injunctions to me, never to mention this subject again to him, and to decline being the bearer of any application of the same nature, should it be proposed to me; which message I was of course under the necessity of delivering to you, and I have constantly made it the rule of my conduct ever since, and indeed I have ever considered it as one of the greatest proofs of affection and consideration towards me, on the part of his Majesty, that he never allowed me to become a party in this business.
Having thus stated to you, fairly and candidly, what has passed, I trust you will see that there can be no ground for the apprehension expressed in the latter part of your letter, that any slur can attach to your character as an officer—particularly as I recollect your mentioning to me yourself, on the day on which you received the notification of your appointment to the 10th light dragoons, the explanation and condition attached to it by his Majesty, and therefore surely you must be satisfied that your not being advanced in military rank, proceeds entirely from his Majesty's sentiments respecting the high rank you hold in the state, and not from any impression unfavorable to you.
Believe me ever, and with the greatest truth, dearest brother, your most affectionate brother, (Signed) FREDERICK, His R. Highness, P. Wales. [To be continued.]

BOSTON, APRIL 12. London dates to March 9, received by the MINERVA, arrived here yesterday.
London, March 6. PLOT AGAINST BONAPARTE.— ARREST OF MOREAU.
Legislative Body.—Paris, Feb. 17.
At two o'clock the counsellor of state Regnaud, De St. Jean D'Angely, Segur, and Berlier, were introduced—Regnaud ascended the Tribune, and read the following report made this morning, by the Grand Judge to the First Consul:
REPORT Of the GRAND JUDGE to the GOVERNMENT.
"PARIS, 27th Pluiose.
"Citizen First Consul, "New plots have been framed by England; they were framed in the mist of the peace they had sworn to maintain; and when she violated the treaty of Amiens, she relied much less upon her force than upon the success of her machinations. But the government was watchful; the eye of police followed all the steps of the enemy's agents, and traced the measures of those whom their gold or their intrigues had corrupted.
"At length the plan appeared complete; already, no doubt, they thought at London that they heard the explosion of that mine which had been dug under our feet. At least the most sinister rumours were in circulation there, and the most guilty hopes were cherished.
"All at once the framers of the conspiracy are seized—proofs accumulate, and of such force and evidence, that they will carry conviction to every mind.
"Georges, and his band of assassins, had remained in the pay of England—his agents still over-run La Vendee, the Morbihan, and the Cotes du Nord, and
vainly fought for partisans—the mediation of the government and the laws had deprived them of them.
"Pichegru, unmasked by the events which preceded the 18th Fructidor, year 5, unmasked more than any thing by that correspondence which General Moreau had addressed to the Directory. Pichegru had carried his hatred against his country into England.
"In the year 8 he was with Willot, in the suite of the enemies' armies, in order to ally himself with the Brigands of the South.
"In the year 9 he conspired with the committee of Baraugh; and since the peace of Amiens, he was still the council and the hope of the enemies of France.
"British perfidy associates Georges with Pichegru—the infamous Georges with that Pichegru whom France had esteemed, and whom she long believed to be incapable of treason.
"In the year 11 a criminal reconciliation unites Pichegru and General Moreau, two men between whom honor ought to have placed an eternal hatred. The police seizes at Calais one of their agents at the moment he was returning a second time to England. That man is in the hands of the police, with all the papers which establish the reality of a reconciliation that would have been inexplicable if the ties of it had not been formed by crime.
"At the arrest of this agent, Gen. Moreau appears for a moment agitated. He takes under-hand measures to ascertain whether government is informed upon the subject—but every thing is still and silent, and restored himself to tranquillity, he conceals from government an event which was of a nature to excite their vigilance. He conceals it, when even Pichegru is called publicly to the counsels of the British ministry, when with a degree of elat he unites himself to the enemies of France.
"Government would not see in his silence anything but the fear of an avowal which would have humiliated him, in the same manner as they had seen in his absence from public affairs, in his equivocal connections, and in his more than indiscreet speeches, only ill-humour and vain discontent.
"General Moreau, who was liable to suspicion because he treated secretly with the enemy of his country, who, upon this more than legitimate suspicion, would have been arrested at any other epoch, was suffered to enjoy in tranquillity his honors, an immense fortune, and the benefits of the Republic.
"Yet events pressed—Lagolais, the friend and confidant of Pichegru, goes secretly from Paris to London, returns from London to Paris, carries to Pichegru the ideas of General Moreau, brings back to General Moreau the ideas and designs of Pichegru and his associates:—The brigands of Georges prepare in the very city of Paris all that is necessary to the execution of their common project.
"A spot is fixed upon between Dieppe and Treport remote from all eyes and all superintendence, where the brigands of England, conducted by the English ships of war, were to land without being perceived, where they were to find men bribed to receive them, men paid to guide them during the night from station to station agreed upon, and to bring them even to Paris.
"At Paris an asylum is prepared for them, in houses hired beforehand, where are trusted guardians; they have them in several quarters, in several streets, at Caillou, in the Rue du Bac, in the Faubourg St. Marceau, in the Marais.
"A first landing is effected—it was Georges, with eight of his brigands.
"Georges returns to the coast to assist at the landing of Celler St. Victor, (condemned by the sentence passed upon the affair of the 3d Nivose) and ten other brigands.
"In the early part of this month, a third landing is effected—it is Pichegru, Lajolais, Arnaud, Gaillard, the brother of Raoult, Jean Marie, one of the five confidants of Georges, and some other brigands of that kind. Georges with Joyau, called d'Affar, St. Vincent, and Picot, called le Petit, precede this third debarkation—the union is effected at the farm of la Poterie.
A fourth landing is expected. The vessels are in sight; but contrary winds prevent their approach; but a few days are passed since they made reconnoitring signals. "Georges and Pichegru arrive at Paris—they are lodged in the same house, surrounded by some thirty brigands, commanded by Georges. They see General Moreau; we know the place, the day, the hour where the first conference is held. A second rendezvous was agreed upon, and does not take place. A third, a fourth took place in the very house of General Moreau. "This appearance of Georges and Pichegru at Paris, these conferences with General Moreau are established by incontrovertible & multiplied proofs. The steps of Georges and Pichegru are followed from house to house. Those who assisted in their debarkation; those who, in the dead of night, conducted them from port to port; those who gave them an asylum in Paris, their confidants, accomplices—Lagolais, their principal go-between, and General Moreau, are seized. The effects and the papers of Pichegru
are seized, and the police is following his steps with great activity.
"England wished to overturn the government, and by overturning it, to effect the ruin of France, and the abandonment of it to ages of civil war and confusion. But to overthrow a government supported by the affection of thirty millions of citizens, and surrounded by a strong, a brave, and faithful army, was a task above the power of England and of Europe; hence England did not pretend to effect it, but by the assassination of the First Consul, and by covering that assassination with the shade of a man whom the remembrance of his services still defended.
"I must add, that the citizens ought to feel no uneasiness. The greater part of the brigands are arrested, the rest have fled, and are warmly pursued by the police. No class of citizens, no branch of the administration is stained by a single suspicion.
"I shall not give more ample details in this report; you have seen all the papers; you will direct that all be placed under the eye of justice.
"The Grand Judge, Minister of Justice. (Signed) "REGNIER."
MARCH 7.
The more we consider the subject of the conspiracy alluded to have been framed against the life of Bonaparte, the more are we impressed with the idea that it is either a fabrication, or an exaggeration of some circumstances of a comparatively slight and insignificant nature. The police of Paris, has always a plot ready made to suit any state emergency, and though the hand of Fouché no longer wields the tremendous weapon of the police, his spirit has been fully infused into the mind of the Grand Judge Regnier.
But we confess we incline most strongly to the belief, that the whole is a forgery. Moreau has done too many services to his country, had gained too many victories—victories equal to those of Bonaparte, to render him acceptable to a mind of such a stamp and character as the First Consul's. Bonaparte's jealousy is at least equal to his ambition, and the reputation of Moreau, so often and so justly called the pride of France, must have worked that jealousy to a pitch of frenzy. And another circumstance too must have contributed to produce that effect.
Moreau, conscious of the dignity of his character, and the importance of his services, never would condescend to be the tool and creature of Bonaparte. He disdain'd to swell the vanity of the First Consul by false adulation; and retiring from his brilliant career of victory to private life, afforded by the modesty of his demeanor, a most marked and honorable contrast to the pomp and affectation of Bonaparte and his sycophants. But these circumstances, it may be said, do not prove that Moreau was innocent, or that he was not implicated in the conspiracy. He was more than indiscreet, it seems, in a country to which Bonaparte boasts he has given freedom, is brought forward as a serious charge against such a man as Moreau.
An embargo has been laid at the custom house upon all vessels bound to any other ports than the undermentioned, viz. Spain and Portugal, Mediterranean, America, Africa, East and West Indies.
MARCH 8.
The embargo which we mentioned yesterday as having been laid on the Port of London, extends to all the outports, except upon the convoys bound down the channel. Various causes have been assigned for this measure, but the real one remains a secret with government. This embargo is not expected to last above ten days.
It is no longer to be doubted, that the French fleet have quitted Toulon. It would, indeed, be most desirable to the First Consul to collect the whole of his ships from L'Orient, Rochefort, Ferrol, and Toulon, in the harbor of Brest. They would then form a respectable fleet, not fewer, than from 27 to 40 sail of the line, besides frigates. It is said, that the Toulon fleet sailed from thence on the 28th January. Its force is variously stated; but it is generally supposed to consist of 20 sail of the line. Lord Nelson is stated to have been off Majorca on the 20th January, and that on the 23d he was off the Cape of Roses, the North East point of Spain, and the direct line in which the French fleet will steer, should it be destined for the Atlantic.
The board of Admiralty have, it is said, come to a determination of ordering twenty sail of the line to be immediately laid down in our several yards, and to be built without loss of time, judging that the crafty Corsican is using every exertion to repair his navy, whilst the indispensable necessity of blockading his ports from Toulon to the Texel, must necessarily cause great wear and tear in our men of war.
It is said that Mr. Grey will in the House of Commons to day give notice of his intention to submit, on Wednesday next, a motion upon the state of the country. Such a debate will, of course, afford as wide a field as could be wished for the fullest development of

the principles and views of the different parties.
General Moreau has been taken up, and the Police are in pursuit of Pichegru and Georges.
SCHIEDAM, Feb. 24.
On the embargo has just been laid here, on the part of the French government, on all outward-bound ships, in order to prevent general Pichegru from escaping.
March 9.
The public curiosity has been excited not a little since the recent plot against the Consular government, to know the result, and to learn whether the intelligence was correct that states generals Moreau and Pichegru to have been guillotined. Till farther accounts are received from France, the present anxiety cannot be removed and it must be considerably heightened by accounts received this morning from D l, which state, that another revolution has taken place in France inimical to Bonaparte. The news is said to have been brought over by a royalist general. How far it may be correct, we cannot take upon us to determine; but the thing is, far from being improbable. We shall not indulge in conjectures, but content ourselves with submitting the information that has reached us.
DEAL, March 8.
We have just received intelligence of a very important nature, which added to the late news from France, carries with it some degree of probability, especially as great bustle prevails here at present in the Downs: A general and his suite attached to the Monarchical party in France, who was some days ago received on board one of our cruizers from the heights above Dieppe, brings an account that a counter-revolution has taken place in that country, prejudicial to the interests of the Corsican usurper.
"The whole naval department here are in the highest spirits; in consequence of this sudden change of affairs all the ships, cutters and brigs ready for sea in the Downs have received orders to get under weigh immediately—Most of them have already failed. Wind S.E. by S."
"The firing heard the other day was a salute at Boulogne; but on what occasion we have not yet learnt."
Last night dispatches were sent off expressly by a messenger from the admiralty to Plymouth, for admiral lord Cornwallis, to be forwarded to him from that place by a fast sailing vessel. An express was likewise sent off to Ireland.
All ships of every description have been ordered to be got ready for service as fast as possible. Every thing seems to shew that some secret expedition is in contemplation.
Last night we received Dutch papers to the 28th ult.—The most important piece of information they contain is an open acknowledgment in The Merchant that the Dutch officers who had been applied to, to take commands in the flotilla of Flushing, destined for the invasion of this country, have refused to accept of the appointments. This shews in what a hopeful light they view the whole undertaking.
The monitors are chiefly filled with addressees to the first coal, to congratulate him on his escape. No further mention is made of the conspiracy or of the conspirators in the official papers.
Accounts from Vienna of the 4th Feb. state, that the greatest bustle prevails among the ministers of that court; that the troops were in motion, and that every thing indicated an approaching change of affairs.
THE SECRET EXPEDITION.
We announced on Tuesday the preparations which were making for an expedition against Boulogne, and some of the ports of the enemy. Those preparations have been followed by an embargo in our ports, and the execution of a vigorous and decisive measure is at hand.
The plan of the intended expedition originated in Mr. Richard Phillips, of St. Paul's Church yard. That gentleman has, for a considerable time, proposed to government to close up and permanently blockade the ports of the enemy by sinking at their entrances old ships of various burthens, filled with chalk or stones. By varying the number and size of those vessels, and by other contrivances adapted to the circumstances of the enemy's port, he considers it to be in the power of his country or render every harbour of France, Holland, and Flanders unnavigable and totally useless.
After mature investigation, the idea has been adopted by government, and a number of old ships, filled with Maid-stone rag stone, are immediately to be sunk at the entrance of the harbour of Boulogne, so as to render it impossible for the enemy's vessels to come out, which have rendezvoused in that port; consequently nothing further will be to be apprehended from an invasion in that quarter!
The shallow and intricate navigation of the ports of Holland will afterwards be more easily choked up and ruined, exactly in the same manner, and by chaining numbers of heavy ships together, Mr. Phillips deems it equally practicable to choke up the harbour of Brest, and all the larger ports of France, so that no ship of war can come out or go into them.
During the war, these sub-marine blockades will be rendered permanent, by sloops or small ships being stationed off each port, to destroy the machinery with which the enemy may endeavour to raise the sunken ships.
In short, the plan is as efficacious as it is simple; and the power which we exclusively possess to avail ourselves of it, results from the peculiar circumstance of our being the masters of the Ocean; a dominion which this plan alone will enable us to perpetuate during any number of ages. We have, singly, to maintain our naval superiority, and the ports of every country, which may dare to insult us, are at our mercy. The maritime neutrality of France will henceforward be harmless; we shall have nothing to dread from invasion, and the genius of Britain may enable her to bid defiance to a world in arms opposed to her!

B. Prizes subject to a deduction of 15 per cent. This lottery has been authorised by the legislature of Virginia, for the laudable purposes of erecting a seminary of learning in or near the metropolis of this state. With this view, it is contemplated to raise 20,000 dolls. and 2,500 dolls. in addition, for defraying the expenses attendant on drawing the lottery. Citizens of the first respectability have been selected as trustees, and they have pledged themselves to use their utmost exertions to carry it into effect. The scheme has the advantage of giving to each adventurer, a chance for some very large prizes, whilst the proportion of prizes to blanks, is so great as to invite the friends of the intended institution to partake in the lottery, with very little risk of their becoming losers. The treasurer of the state is to be appointed to receive the money for the tickets as they are sold, and to pay the amount of the prizes to the fortunate adventurers. It is believed that the above considerations will induce a rapid sale of tickets, and the drawing will commence as soon as a sufficient number shall be sold to authorise it—which it is believed will be on the second Monday in December next.
