made* deep impression, we fully believe. Theron a:-
(peaces may not be the less important, because it
is possible that they'may not be immediate." To
these' observations we subscribe. By referring
part of the inquiry-, last night, to a Select Com-
mittee, Minister* admitted that their previous
course is not perfect. It was also stated by Mr.
WINDHAM, that the public business is sulleting,
and that the public mind is diverted from its
proper objects. As far as it yet appears*. the bu-
siness of the Dake of You and Mrs. PLARILI
was a shabby intrigue, with all the ordivery con-
sequences of weakness oo one side, and ertioice on
the other. It is impassible that 31iniotors, we beg

selves, could have taunt to expose all the little
amours of Isis Royal Highness, sad blues to

mean to sty. that if Miuisters, a. " the Rustic
friends,- wishing well to the Duke of VORA, have
managed this business so badly, how cavemen.

Public justice demands inquiry, bat all the cads

being tx.:eutspil, unquestionably under the same-
tiou of BONAIPAaTE, the object of which was to
carry off the King and Queen of Pausait. end
to put thein into the hands of nApoLgoy. Ter-
and indignant at this meditated ect of per-
fidy aid outrage, FREDLRIC WILIJAIS conceived
that he could enthuses no better measure, than
that of .going directly to the Court of 'tussle, amid
acquainting Inc former Ally, ALEX ta DEA, of such
an atrocious proceeding. We believe, though
we do run guarantee the truth of this anecdote.
It is certain that Prince %Vos.o.tsti of PRUSSIA,
