13th instant, in honour of his Royal linemen the
Prince Regent's hirthetlay, having found ad-
saission into several of the Newspapers, in order to
correct the misrepresentation. I transmit you a cot.

CHEVALIER. in proposing the health of his Royal
litgliness, said--

preface the toast I sin about to give, with a few
obsertainis. I assure you, I would not venture to
trespass on your atteotion, under ordinary circuit).
stances ; hot, being placed in the chair on this su-
spicious occasion. and myself and my father having
Lad, fur thirty years, the care of the Prince Re-
gent's teeth, no doubt can be entertained but that
we kid ass opportunity of duly appreciating his
1-bgliness'a character—and I think it neces-
sow at this period of sedition and disloyalty, to lay
b:fure you the result of our united observation.
" Gentlemen, those who imagine that his Royal
Highness ha. nut yet cut his denies sapientier —who
believe that he has only got a colt's-tooth its his
bead—w;ll, in the end, 'find themselves miserably
disappointed. His Royal Highness's late procla-
mation ,hews that he has his " wise teeth" about
hum—sod the manner in which he delivered is part
of his ,penis front the throne, at the close of the
S.l.biOli, proves that his Royal Highness has got
los dentes canister, in perfection, and that be will
use Owns, if it be found necessary.

•' Geht!ripen, I am sure you will excuse me, if,
iN spenkiiig of the Reformers—of those who attris
hale the pressure of the times to the supineness of
the Pritice Regent and his Governmeut-1 do not
defief)ice•• Those individuals who wander
snout disseminating sedition, deserve our severest
censure. For my own part, I wish they were all
stilieteil with • lucked-jasv. My skill, depend
upon it, should not be exerted for their recovery.
If, however, they strive to carry their treasonable
machinations into effect, they will find armies spring
rp to oppose them as fierce and as numerous as
those which were generated by the dragon's-teeth,
*lnch were sown by Cadmus. They have thrown
insults in the teeth of their Sovereign, which
i.o loyal subject can think of without horror.
Hot, Gentlemen, la ua thew them, that, in

sloe of their teeth, we will support the existing
►r,tem—which, fur int strength, plainness and
►rtuplictly, may be accounted a beautiful ape-

cienen of the Tusk-an order. When the coon-
try exhibits so awful an aspect, we ought not to
stand idly picking our teeth, but ought immedi-
ately to i-dfut-thy ourselves with the tried friends of
I Lis ernment, for the purpose of devising some
biting remedy for the evil. The proceediti6e in
differeeit parts of the country by no means suit my
pulae —and it makes my teeth chatter in my head
with fear, when I hear that the female sex, at whom
toy teeth weed formerly only to water, are taking an
ticitse pert at public meetings. The demagogues
by whom those meetings are convened, declare that
their intentions are peaceable; but, depend upon
it, those de chiretions are merely from the teeth out-
words—nett her the head nor the heart has any thing
to do with them. It is our duty therefore to beon the
sleet, tied to take measures for immediately snap-
ping at all those who appear to be tainted with the
pilection• doctrines of vitro reform. That the
Prince Ite-getn, whose heath!' I now propose, is
friendly to moderate reform, cannot be denied by
any man who has witnessed the alteration of the
streets is the neighbourhood of Cailton-hosise—
who has viewed the trunsformations which the Pavi-
lion at has undergone—or who has re-
marked the improvements which distinguish the
dresses of the horse guard and hussar regiments."

IRIGHTON, •UGU9T 15.

It is confidently biped mill expected that the
Prince Regent will ditemltark at this place Irina
the royal yacht, after his present cruise, but on
what particular day, of court,, it is impossible to
decide. Het Royal Highness's carriages and tre-
vellutK

only afford accommodations for servauts.

CURIOUS A DV R N TURK
IN THE GRAND STAND AT YORK.

A singular scene occurred in the steed on Friday last.
Just as Lord Fiisarillimn had introduced Prince Leopold to
the stand in which were the Archbishop of York, his daughter,
and many of the su►roaudiog Nubility and Gentry, an at-
tack was made on Mr. U—, a gentleman of foi tune (who
occasionally spurts money on racing), by an step of and
well dressed female, in terms not so feminine as might
have been expected from her appearance. She was ac-
companied by another young lady of prepotoessing ap-
pearance, and whose apparent grief excited much sym-
pathy. Every eye was on the females, and the gentleman
contrived to gel from the stand, followed by the ladies, to
both of wham it turned out hr had lately been married.
The husband remained iiirag. that night at York, and left by
the Higheyer roach. lu the mean time the following state-
ment of the affair became public:—
The Gentleman married his first wife between two an
three years since, and she had one child, and was far advan
rd in pregnancy with the other, when a familiarity took
place between the hu•baud and the child's maid, who became
pregnant also. and on a diuvve►y being made, the Lady re-
tired to her friends in toe of Eoglitiail, and all attempts
on the side of her family and that of Mr. U.'s to reconcile her
proved fruitless. He retired into Norfolk, and after a lapse
of time he married a second wife, an amiable young Lady of
the highest respectability, at Yarmouth.
The first wife iliacoverol the second marriage, and Mr.
U Aed, and thought himself in concealment mail surprised
at York. The ladies traced his departure by the Highliyer
coach, and they pursued in a chaise and four to overtake the
each, but the gentleman left it fur safety at Greta, near
Stamford, and thus eluded pursuit. The affair was lie prin-
cipal topic of couversalims at York.
