and even more, if necessary. The arrival, however,

a ptetenc4futatating that he had received fresh

,a 3 0,-91. tile Preliminary Treaty.
Such being .the leap:age and conduEt of .M. Ovr.e",
NC. must say that Bus apawrr chose in him a had
:adviser, if it was the intention of the French Go-
vernment to avoid pushing things to an extreme.
As he must have seen his error betore time, it
is possible he may be now endeavou..ing to retrieve
it through the mediation of Russ,ia ; but we trust
that no chance of peace, which such a state of things
mightafford,will lead to the slightest relaxation of our
exertions, and that the inferiority of French force will
not be suffered, by allying itselfwithfinem, fraud, and
stratagem, to impose upon the honest nature of Eng-
land, and thus enable itself to cope with British pa-
triotism and valour. The condua of Government
allows us to indulge this hope with confidence. As
iinpunity is the encouragement of crime, it would
be idle to eve& economy, discipline, and energy,
where waste, imbecilit7, and insubordination pass,
not only with' ut censure, but without notice. With a
prospeaive view, therefore, to right, Ministers have
taken a scrutini zing retrosped cf thewrong. They late-
ly instituted an enquiry into the abuses of the naval
department ; they are now el:la:01y zealots in exa-
mining the abuses of the military. A Cour.'!of En-
quiry will commence its sittings this day ups it the
condua of General FAWCETT, Major BRADsHAW,
and other officers concerned in the late levies raised
in Ireland: General PRESCOTT is the President ;
General the Hon. CHATELL NORTON, General
LEIGH, and Lieut. General Ow Lvic are also mem-
bers of the Court.

Major General DOYLE arrived in town on Friday
from Guernsey in a very delicate state of health.
We are happy to state it is much re-established by the
journey, and that he hopes to be able to resume his
command towards the end of this week. He reports
the island as in the best posiible state of defence.
General Ditunetoma, an able and experienced offi-
cer, commands in hie absence.

sir Jong Boat/Ist WAaars, our Ambassador
at the Court of Peterqburgh, is either aaually upon
his return or will shortly sake his leave of that city.

that the most perfect harmony prvail; betweenihe
Court* of LondOn and St. Petersburgh;and that.his
return- is totally unconnected with their political re-
lations.—Sir JOHN B. WARREN says, that at a time
when his country is engaged in a war the most seri-
ous ever waged against France, it is neither con-
sistent with his honour nor 114 inclination to act,
in a civil capacity, howevt,r dignified the station.
We may, therefore, soon expect to see him resume
his command upon that element, where he has dis-
played so much ability and gained so much glory.
We do not believe the person is yet fixed upon who
shall succeed him at St. Petersburgh.

This Theatre, after having been painted and
newly decorated for the season, was honoured with
the presence of the Royal Family on Friday night,
to sec Co Lit Ate S :Pm Bull, and Di BD: N'S Farce of
the j'esu and Ole Dolier. Mr. F A ET T v•a-, ti
hero of each piece, and received the most mieqiiivocal
marks of approbation. The Royal lifilitors,scemed
highly pleased with their entertainme.rt, and re-
ceived the warmer,: effusions of loyalty from one ot
the most erowded and brilliatit audiences that The-
atre ever boasted. Long before the curtain drew up,
every part of the house overflowed. On Saturday,
what a contrast! At half past six o'clock, the au-
dience consisted of—in the Boxes, two; Pit, five; and
Galleiy could not boast a single Coiydon. A*-
quest was made from the Manager, that they would
have the goodness to accept their money, the Play
would not be performed. The proposal was gladly
received.

On Friday morning four Messengers, Gut NELL,
ROSS, CUSSIVER, .and another, arrived from the
different Secretaries of State's Offices, to his MA-
JESTY at Kew Palace. After inspecting the Dis-
patches, and returning the Messengers, HIS Ma-
jesty walked in Kew Gardens, accompanied by the
Dukes of CUMBERLAND and CAsanatiocr„ and Air.
Giu:vILLE.
At ten o'clock the Royal Fa-illy took an airin!,
in three open carriages in Kew and Richmond Gar-
dens; HIS MAJ Es rY drove one of the pheatons, -
compar.ed by the Princess AcGesrA. His Royal
Highnev. the Duke of Cu mar.rci. AND and Mr. Gns-
vit LE attended them on horseback.

At twelve o'clock the Royal Family set off from
Kew for Windsor, in two coaches and fear, and ar-
rived before two o'clock.
On Saturday morning at half past dine o'clock,
His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK arrived at
the Queen's Lodge, and had his usual weekly in-
terview with His MAJESTY on Military Affairs, in
which he submitted to His MAJESTY'S inspection, a
musket on a new and improved construction. At
eleven o'clock His MAJESTY, accompanied by the _
Princesses SOPHIA and AsaIAA., and attended by
Lady ELIZABETH THYNNE and General (,tare,
took an airing on horseback, in Windsor Great
Park. His MAJESTY and the Princesses ELIZABETH
and MARY, attended by Lady ATLEsnertV, took an
airing to rogmore, and walked a consideralle time
in the Gardens there. About two o'clock uiey re-
turned to the Lodge.
Her Royal Highness the Princess Acoccr A, at-
tended by the Marchioness of BATH and tr.., datigh-
ters, and Lady ELY, took an airing in the .oc.;;6)1v,
in the Great Park, by Virginia Water, and through
the beautiful plantations near it, and returned home
by Englefield Green. After dinner the Royal Fa-
mily went to Frogmore.
The Terrace at Windsor was snore numerously
attended on Saturday evening than any evening this
season, but the company were disappointed in the
gratification of seeing the Royal Family, who unet-
pededly went to Frogmore to drink tea. The band
of the Staffordshire Militia attended, and played for
the amusement of the company. Her MAJESTY'S
Band attended, but on account of the non-attend.
ante of the Royal Family, they did not play. On
the return of the Royal Family from Frogmore,
they had a Concert at the Queen's Lodge.
HIS MAJESTY did not attend Divine Service yes-
terday morning at 8 o'clock, as he is accustomed to
do, on 'acc'ount of Mr. HUNTER, senior, and two
other- Messengers, arriving at 7 o'clock with dis-
patches from Ministers, which engaged the aucn-
tion of His MAJESTY till past nine o'clock- Her
Royal Highness the Princess ELIZABETH, attended
by • the Countess of ELY, General GARTH, and
Major DESBROW, went to St. George's Chapel about
half past 8.
Soon after 10 o'clock, the Royal Family, attended
by the Marchioness of 111T11 and three baiighters,
Countesses of EL Y and AvLEsatIRY, General
GA ern, and Major DEsnriow, walked from the
Queen's Lodge to St. GeOrge's Cathedral ; as the
Royal Party entered the Court-yards they Were met
by a number of persons of distinftion among them
were the Earl of UXBRIDGE and Lord MeLonaTx,
whom their MAJESTIES conversed with. The Staf-
fordshire Militia, and the 13th Regiment of
Dragoons were drawn out, and sainted their a...
JESTIES as they passed, while their Bands played,
" God Save toe King." The Bishop of NO VIP IC tc
attended as Dean, and read part of the Church Ser-
vice: A very excellent Sermon was preached by Dr.
LANGFORD, from the 7th chapter and the 50th verse
of St. Lust
" And he said to the woman, Thy fa;th hall saved thee,
n in peace."
After the Sermon an Anthem was sung by Messrs.
VAvoliAN, SALmon, and others, and Mr. SEXTON,
the Organist, played a very appropriate voluntary,
one of H A D'E CS celebrated chorusses, Behold ibe
Lamb of God," from the Mini .b. The choir was
crowded with beauty and fashion ; and the town
being very full of. company, all the inns overflowed
with guests. a
On Saturday afternoon the Prince of WALE: re-
turned to London from Bidbury Races.
Saturday evening the young Gentlemen of Eton
College, according to annuaFcustom, went in sit
eight-ored cutters, from Eton-bridge to Surley
Hall, the seat of Mr. TowNetv WARD.—They
Were dressed in their uniforms of silk jackets, Caps,
and feathers. Each boat had an elegant flag dis-
played at the stern. The weather being remarkably
fine, great numbers were attracted to view the sight
from the shore. The young Gentlemen will conti-
nue this amusement every Saturday till their BA-.
