Muter Ilession, the infant and only chili of that
rood Lady, the thi:d Parliament of the United
Kingdom of Great hrtain and Ireland, was seised
no flatatday .vith a sullen and dangerous illness.
This ereat, becoming generally known on Sunday,
p-oluzed great ennsternarion, anxiety, and alarm,
lancing the ounserons conneSioes of the patient;
most of them persons of the first rank, fortune, and
respeaahility, in the country. . Espressos were, in
consequener, sent off in every direttion. to apprise
the most distant relatives and friends of this interest-
ing infant, with its alarming situation. On Monday
rm.rning all hopes had entirely vanished; and about
three o'clock Master Seuion drew his last breath.
:the melancholy event was formally announced by
the King's Physician, wbo attended him during his
whole illness, amida his sorrowing friends and at-
tendants. This premature death is the more lA.
imentable, as Master Seuion was considered at his
birth 46 fine and healthy a child as the family of the
Parliaments had been ever blessed with. He
was a lively bustling little fellow, constantly in
motion. and very amusing in conversation.—
He was also of a very amiable disposition. liberal
to the poor, and anxious to relieve their wants. The
African Negroes, whom he restored to liberty, will
bless his memory ; and the Catholics and Dissenters
of Great Britain. whom he loved as brothers, will
never cease to lament his loss. Poor Mrs. Pattie-
enent, the mother of this promi.ing babe, it was not

The brig Edward arrived on Monday at Dover,

days. At the date of her sailing from that place,
no account bad been received of any bat le having
been fought subsequent to the battle of 1 ylau.

The Gazette of last night did not contain the Pro-
clamation for the Dissolution of Parliament. His
HAJSSTY will come to town this day, and it is ex-
peßed that the Proclamation will be signed, and
posted up in the most public parts of the metropolis,
is the course of the evening. Some of the Papers
have not hesitated to attribute this extraordinary
measure to a wish to stop the Financial Committee
in their inquiries into the public expenditure.—
That the Committee met on Monday. for the
purpose of presenting a R:port. and were
prevented from doing so by the Prorogation,
is a fail which we do not dispute. The Re-
port, we understand, states in substance. that
a sum of 19,8001. had been applied by a late
Paymaster of the forces to his own use, and that
this fact came to the knowledge of his Colleague,
the Right Honourable GEORGIC Rose, who did not
give any direction to the Clerks en t!ie subject, and
that the Committee had discovered other and great
abuses in the public money concerns, on which they
should shortly proceed to report. While, however,
we assert this fail, we canaot believe that it is the
determining cause of the dissolutioa. A dissolution
of Parliament could only procure a respite for the
part'es likely to be affeCted by the Report, not an
acquittal. We cannot suppose, that any Adminis-
tration would be weak enough to Satter themselves

. .
that public inquiry could be completely stifled by
such means. Thy badness may be revived in the
'next Session. We therefore still adhere to the opi-
nion .
which we first veatured to give upon this sub-
jed. Ministers mild not carry on the public b6i-
ness with such a powerful opposition against them ;
and they had no other alternative but to resign, or
prccure a friendly Parliament. What grounds they
may have laid to secure this result—what prepara-
tions they have made to facilitate the elation of
their friends—we do not pretend to know. As,
however, there appears to have been some abrupt-
ness in determining upon this course, some are of
opinion that they had not time to martlrc their
plans, and that their schemes cannot be deeply and
extensively laid. Any defea in preparation, they
may, however, flatter themselves, will be compen-
sated by the religious clamour which they have ex-
cited; a support of very uncertain duration. It has,
indeed, already began to subside ; and though there
is in all great cities a great proportion of people
*hose interests are promoted by a General Eleftion,
the Dissolution is no: likely to become a popular
measure.

About four o'clock, yesterday noon, a dreadful

NVhat Prelate more learned, mote orthodox—

blished Churcle--than the Bishop of Li scout ?
