• PorAL cilAcE,

On Satdriay morning, after his Wrest y had
brankfacted, he left the Queen's Lodge, attended by
General NIA NNERS, and rode to Ascot Race Ground,
where his MA.; EsT v was met by Earl S A NDWICH and
several persons of distinction, when the Royal Deer
was turned out of the cart, about eleven o'clock, for
the day's diversion. At starting, he ran with great
swiftness towards Sunning Hill 'Wells, taking to the
right by kingsbeach Hill, across the Forest, where
he was closely pursued, and at length taken, after
very hard run of about two hours, near Mr. Crutch-
ley's Park.

CESSLF, attended by Lady AYLESBURY and Miss
V v se, took an airing to Frogmore.

where an excellent sermon was preached by the
Bishop of frnm the 6th Chapter of St.
John, and the 67th and 6sth verses.
The Bo Y Al. FAMILY were not expeEted in town
yesterday, as erroneously stated by some of our con-
temporaries of yesterday. It was his MAJ hsrv'•;
intention to have tak,...n the diversion of hunting with
the harriers yesterday; and her MAJESTY was to
have had a party of friends in the evening at
Windsor. .

The ROYAL FA must's unexpected departure
from Windsor, yesterday morning, was occasioned
by the arrival of some dispatches, which his MAJES-
*I' y received in the morning, at seven o'clock, by a.
Messenger from Ministers, in consequence of a
meeting which they held on Sunday evening. His
MAJI.STv gave immediate dirdlions for preparations
to be made for going to London with all possible
speed. A few minutes before eight o'clock, his
MAJESTY'S Hobby Groom was tilSlYAtChee to Lon-
don, to order the horses to meet the Rov A L FA-
MILY at Houn4ow. The Messenger made such
good speed, that he arrived at the Mews at a quar-
ter before ten ; the horses had been out an airing
in Hyde Park, and they were immediately dis-
patched, and arrived at Hounslow in good time, to
meet the ROYAL FAMILY. About one o'clock their
MAJESTIES and the Princesses ELIZABETH and Au-
GUbTA arrived in a carriage and four, at Bucking-
ham-house ; they were followed by the Princesses
SOPHIA and AMELIA, attended by Lady AvtEsau-
RY and Miss V vst, in another carriage and four.
The arrival of the ROYAL FA M ILY was so very
unexpeaed, that the Pages in waiting, and those
employed in Buckingham-house, were not apprized
of it but a very short time previous. It was her
Royal Highness, the Princess MARY'S intention, to
have taken an airing as usual, between one and two
o'clock, but on account of the unexpeded arrival of
her Royal Parents, her Royal Highness did not
leave the house.
About twelve o'clock, the Dukes of YORK and
CUMBERLAND visited her Royal Highness the Prin-
cess MARY.
At three o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at
Buckingham House, which his MAJEsTar attended ;

eater, Lord CASTLEREAGH, Mr. BRAGGY, &c.

RISON again filled her place. Miss TENNANT was
absent, being engaged at a Concert last night at

NEW-I'oll4 Jedi. 22, 1803.

•
By the Western Mail of Monday evening, the fol-
lowing Memorial was received; it is presented to
the people of the Westcrn Country for their sig-
natures, and preposed to be forwarded to the a
vernment of the United States without delay :
To the President, the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United State:.
We, the undersigned, inhabitants of the Western
Country, respeafully represent—That the port of
New-Orleans is closed against us, by a Decree of
the Spanish Intendant. That we owe the United
States arrears of excise, and other debts and taxes,
and have no means to discharge those demands, but
the produce of our farms. That shut out, as we
arc, from a market for our produce in the East, it
Must rot on our hands, unless . the government re-
ceive it from us at a reasonable pri.,e, or protect us
in the prosecution of a lawful trade. That in our
humble opinion, prompt and decisive measures are
necessary, for the maxim is peculiarly applicable to
our situation, that " protection and allegiance arc
reciprocal." We take leave furtherto represent, that
we rely with confidence on the immediate inter-
position of the United States ; but while we state
our trust in the Government of the Union, and
give assurance of our co-operation in any decisive
measure in behalf of the just right of any part of
our country, we must declare that we have a right
to demand, and we do demand that the Government
either adopt such measures as will secure us in the
prosecution of a lawful commerce, take our pro-
duce from us at a reasonable price, or otherwise
relieve us from contributions of any kind whatever.
We wish not unnecessarily to embarrass the com-
munication between the United States and the Spart-
-1;11 Government, nor Wantonly to break in upon an
amicable adjustment of a difference, which has arisen
from an unprovoked violation on their part, of a so-
lemn treaty, but we wish the United States, expli-
citly to undersund, that our situation is critical ; that
delay, even for one season, would prove ruinous to
our country ; and that imperious necessity may
therefore compel us, unless relief is afforded, to re-
st rt to measures which we may deem calculated to
insure proteCtion to our trade, though they may re-
sult in consequences unfavourable to the harmony
of the Union.—iVese York Advertiser.
