Mr. Tito iituron ssti,l, he felt great satisfafbm in
perf!lly coinciding with the proceedings of the
meeting. He anticipated their wishes. tie had no
prejudices or partialities—and had no objeaion to
follow up what the House of Commons had so laud-
ably begun He was once on a Committee of F.
nances, and he must have his feelings to know, there
were many abuses which required col rea.on.
Mr.TI ERN EY trust you will believe, that
_ _

I feel anxious to sift abuses to the bottom ; and that
I shall set my face against them, wherever they may
be found. I held a high of_•e for twelve auras,
and protest I neirer have given a vote, that I did not,
in my conscience, approve—nor have I ever sanc-
tioned a job. I shall be happy to aft with you, and
you may depend upon my support; I but advise, that•
whatever is done, may be done temperately. My
language may be thought temporising ; but I am
convinced by experience, that whatever is done,
should be done with caution ;, weighing what yott
are about ; and nor. by clamour. That abuses in the
Government have been carried on to a great extent,
there could he no doubt; one has been brought to
light, ;aid the deteflion of others should be followed
no. My cordon for the remainder of my time in
Parliament shall be the same as that which first re.
commended me to your notice."—Nrear man/ J.

du-Cowt, followed by a long train of carriages and
horsemen, proceeded to Windsor Great Park, where
I His MAJESTY reviewed the Royal Regiment of
Horse Guards Bine, to whom His MAJESTY, on
Tuesday morning, presentod a handsome pia of
silver kettle-drums. His MAJESTY was on the
ground at ten o'clock. The troops were foment
into line, in four squadrons; His MAILS'S,' having
passed them in front and rear, they divided into
half squadrons, and then in single files, forming
again as soon as they had passed t they then wheeled
into line, dismounted, marched in line, and gave a
genet al s ilute ; then marched' Fait the KING in
ordinary and quick time, remounted, and went
through the sword exercise. Their wheelings, form-
ing of columns, dep'oying and charges, were per-
formed with great celerity and exaaneu. The bril-
liant assemblage of company, joined to the excel-
lent discipline which the troops evinced in every
movement, rendered the tow ensemble highly grati-
fying. His MAJESTY left the ground, with the
ROYAL FAMILY and attendants, about a quart.=•
.
before twelve. The ground was kept by a paw;
the 9tb Light Dragoons. The Kiere and the whi,e

the most part ofebefr attendants, in -nstlitery klabtta.
was a most beautiful and interesting spettacle.

No Trials of any interest occurred yesterday at
the Old Bailey.
At Newmarket there was more betting concern-
ing the Lottery than on the running houses. The
betting embraced a variety of obseas; amongst
which, what Office should sell the 30,0001. Prizes s
two to one was in favour of Hoarisay. •
The Lords of the Admiralty have lately adopted
a measure for supplying His Majesty's ships in the
Indian seas with seamen, ilf,ch, it is conceived, will
prove highly beneficial to the public interest ; they
have sent on board the Indiarnen that are on the point
of sailing, near 100 fine lads, which are to be delivered
on hoard the Admiral's ship on their arrival in India I
the voyage to India, and a few months esperience
in the cruisers, will make them expert seamen; be-
sides it has been proved, that young lads will Itani
the climate much better than men, with 411 ti‘eca"
that can be possibly taken. This plan, which is in•
tended to be punned, will, in all probability, soon
' prevent the necessity of impressing the seamen how
' the East Indiamen, which hitherto has bard oe-
avoidable, from the great mortality and loss in His
Majesty's ships, besides giving security to the anti-
time interests of the East I nffia.Consponr•
