the revocation on her. part Is free; and perfectly
satisfactory. Mr. GALLATIN is also of opinion, that
the Order of Council of November it done away by
the order of Blockade of April ; so that a repeal of
a Paper Blockadelao called) it the principal thing
demanded. The Pitaairgsr, by making the let-
ter of the French Minister the bait of his Proclama-
tion, his taken it with the conditirons annexed—
one of which is, that Englartd. Shill repeat her

We this day give a correct copy
..of the Protest ?f
ell the Male Branches of the Royal Family against
the Regency proceedings of Mr. PERCETAL.—If we'
nsy judge' from the venal and servile Print's that.
sdnicate his cause, this Protest hes severely glilleil I
the Premier. They ask, with a revolutionary and:
j•cidno air and tune of contempt, who are the
princes, those Fatneatces, Emote, and Wt e-
mote, that dare to find fault with the great Mr.
PERUSAL in this way ; and do not, like ether Peers,
nark their disapprobation, if they entertain any, in 1
the usual way upon the Journals of the House of
Lords? To this audacious insult to the RoyalDukeS,
is shish is displayed a degree of ignorance only to
be equalled by its insolence, weanswer, the Royal
Dukes stood on the present question in a situation
iluferent from that of common Peers. The Crown
id England is an hereditary Crown in the House or
Bseestetca, of which those ERNESTO and FREDE-
RICKS are principal Members, and the SOVRREIGN
is not only their King, but their Father-4 person
towards whom they have not only political, but na-
brat duties to perform. But if thrrie Royal Dukes
be of on weight or importance in the Stoic (as the
J. uhw and Rtvolutiouary Priiits which advo.
cue the cause of the Premier assert), how came
Mr. Fuegos'. and his Colleaguee.to. cultivate
the friendship of the Duke of CUNSERLAND,
to attach themselves to him, and to besiege
Ica with Leery species of adulation?—How came
to-y to devote themselves to her Royal Highness
the Priker,..4 of WALES-•-tO encourage and peruke
sf lute festivities at Blackheath, by whit li she in-
curred debts beyond her means, which his Royal
Hiehowis the Pi inee of WALES (whose health they
did cot even condescend to drink at those routs and
parties) was afterwards obliged to ply ?—We repeat,
iu arswer, that the Royal Family are of more
weight in the public estimation than that, of any
ortapary Peer, and that the Royal Dukes are on
the present occasion more interested than any of
Mr. PITT'S or Mr. PINGO VAL.* Lords!

Io consequenie °lithe receipt of the above ex-
planation from Mr. GALLATIN, a depittation -of
'inesOititChiditig to the I.luited litittis 'waited on
Saturday spoil Marquis VlTH.Laster. They might
have spared themseliies the trouble ; for it traits-
pired in the debate in the House 'of Lord's on
Thingdny, that his Lordship 'his' not ventured to
execute any of the duties of the high department
whiCh bellT4, since the indisposition 'of •His MA.
JEITY was ascertained. It we. the intention of the
gentleinen den'uled (had they Sibtaided-en inter-
view) to have informed is Lordship, that under the
severity of the regulations abotit to be adopted in
America, they must necessarily counterinettd all
orders given to manufacturers, and unload each
vessels u have been potialty loslfn, rather than in-
cur the risk, of whici. they Mail been an ktrislichly
forewarned, unless eom, aS.U.rAIiCCS (nubile safely
given to the merchants, thatlhe intentiois Of Govern-
ment was to protect Britiitt properly; by some mo•
difirations in the Orders in Council and the system
of Blockade.

It is expected that the plan of a limited Regency
s'l be brought forward by Mr. PERCSTA Li this
:ng, in the Horne of Commons.—The public

i,,:teitly dissatisfied at the idea; and we owe that
vr contemplate nith indignation the spectacle of a ,
Pnnce of W•LKII bound to chains to the triumphal
aro( that aspiring gentleman !.—Bets ran high yes.
terd.ry at the west end of the town, that the Premier
sill he left in a minority ; and we believe that even
his friends expect nothing but defeat, although
they consider him too far advanced to recede with
deenr. .—His only chance of extrication fro it his
pervlieing and awkward state hes in the King's
recovery, and delay is thus become the only game
winch he can play with any hope of success.—We
trust, however, that the Country is now alive to a
sense of its danger ; and that all grunt and virtuous
men, rallying round toe Constitution, will suffer no
iiiroeds to be made upon it, by unnecessary delay
filling up the deficiency that has too long existed
in the Executive Power.

The two following Queries lave been proposed
to Nit. GALL arm. to which he has giveu the sub-
p.ird Answers :

" lot, Whether goods shipped from Eogltod
prior to the id of February next, but 'trivial; sub-
sequently thereto, would be subject to seizure, or
admitted to an entry ?—And, tiny. Whether a veil-
sel with a cargo of British goods would be permit-
ted to cell within the water, of the United State,
fat orders, or to learn the continuance of the Nun-
livercounie ?"
In answer to the first. Mr. GiLIATIN stated,
Out " all good.' imported from the dominions of
Greet Britain, and arriving within the Unveil Sc tea
ishseipielabte thelld of February, will become for-
Gant, if Omni Britain shall not on that day have
revoked bet Ediets.—lt follows, that if no know-
Prize of such revocation is known here by the td
of F"brtlery, rods imported as aforesaid will be
sii!ijeet to seizure."

La Hogue, by thenods of the Muria—and al•o a

To this requisition, we understand. the Leis
MATO& has not return: dan .liPlWrf. The esuse of
siody is a doubt in his mind with respect is 'tit le-
gittm■cy of the call. The Corporation of London,
it is very true, as such, never dies, the Omsk of

Common Council are elected soneolly, and
those disposed to gumtion their 'poWer sully 'say,
that until sworn in they are not ;coneveterit to

the resent requisition were only elected • few days
ago, and are not yet sworn in. We fear, therefore,
that if a meeting shall be held pursuant to thin re.
qii:c.tion. the friends of Mr. Peacevat,, emitting
the merits of the case, will apply themselves to this
objection ; an•-'. if it should prove fetal, they will
