evidence, as it now appears, or a fevir abandoned wretches.,

I Mr. Williams seconded the amendment in a short speech.
Mr. Dixon expressed hi* surprise that the looser of this
• amendment, whose general rood conduct and whose abil••
Lica were so well known, should have lent himself on this
'occasion to be the handle of a party. He confessed, that
never in his political career had he seen that gentleman fail
so much in his arguments; and lecommended him, the next
time he attempted a similar task, to look a little more into that
sacred book he had now so frequently quoted. With respect
to the conduct of the geiltlenian, which bad been so much
objected to, he was ready to admit that,alitionali there were
occasions in which politics might be iiitroduced in a sermon
y et, speaking generally, it was objectionable. The Rever-
end gentliman had availed himself of this public occasion,
hr conceived, most fitly ; and he defied any gentleman to
point out a single expression in the sermon, Whirl' went be-
yond recommending tine attention to the laws of the (-minks.
With respect to what hail been said by the worthy mover of
the amendment as to special juries, he begged to add. that
hut a single verdict had been given by these jurors that mill
he called in quest too, either for its mercy, law, or just...e.
Ile would utmost cordially give his vote for the original
and wiiiild as cranially oppose the amentiment.
Mr. Harvey objected to the vote of thanks, upon the sl“;:le
amoral that this was a political sermon. 'lite intents 1:1' the
Rev. gentleman might be great, and the sermon might be
written with great force of expression ; but lie was an enemy
to the pulpit being transformed into a political rostrum. He
condemned the whole mot of political sentiments eontained
in the sermon ; lint even it' the Rev. gentleman had taken a
different side of the question, it' lie had extolled the merits of
those whom lie thought as well calculated to govern, as those
now ill power were ill calculated, still lie should have been of
the same opinion as he now was, and should have voted for
the amendment.

Mr. iirifEilis was in favour of the amendment.
Mr. Davis thought that jostle': was nut done to the Rey.
gentleman as hose conduct had thus been reprobated. He
confessed that the sermon was one which ought not have
been preacded, and that it contained some sentiments which
ought not to have been intratirsoed. He would himself vote
for neither the amendment nor the orittin it rpiestion, under
the conception that, if the Rev. gentleman hail nut given
6ati:fasetiwl, he should be treated with silent reserve. _

The ii::,•stitin being put, both the oligirmi inution and the
amendment were negatived.

'ler Ilizhneas the Princess Charlotte is hourly
apcsieti 'to have the happiness of giving a successor to
the throne of these realms. The Archbishop of Can-
terbury, the Bishop of London, and the Secretaries of
State, remain at hand to attend and witness the so-
lemnities of the accouchement. The wet nurse is the
wife of a respectable person in the county of Surrey,
selected by the Princess herself. The medical attend-
ants are Sir Richard Croft, physician and aecoucheura
Dr. Stockman, the resident physician, mad Mr. Ne-
ville, surgeon and apothecary.
The young woman who is engaged to be wet-nurse
on the the accouchinent of the Princess Charlotte, ob•
tained the appointment by the account she gave of her-
self in a letter to Sir Richard Croft, written with so
much simplicity, yet with so much communication
of the particulars which would naturally be required,
that Sir Richard immediately sent for her. From his
house she was directed to another, where several of the
medical advisers of the Royal ramily had formed a sort
of Board for examination. After she had answered se-
veral questions, the medical gentlemen began to con-
verse in French. It happened that she had a knowledge
of-the language, and, as she supposed it to be intended
that she should not understand their conversation, /she
had the ingenuousness and the modesty to say, that
perhaps she had better withdraw, as French was not
unknown to her. On her return she was intbrmed that
the Board would recommend her for the office she so-
licited, if they were satisfied with the appearance of her
children. She has three, and these were subsequently
examined. Soon afterwards she received a message front
the Princess Charlotte, desiring to see her and her chits .
dren. On her attendance at Claremont, the Princess
and Prince Leopold passed three hours in the room
with her and her children, to the latter of whom the
Princess gave abundance of sweetmeats. Prince Leopold
took one of them upon his knee, and said, " Well, you
and I shall probably be much bitter acquainted." The •
young woman was charmed with such condescension
and atability. She was then near her own confine-
ment: the Princess told her that she should be well

accommodated at Claremont, if she chose to stay, butt
that it was wished she should do exactly as she pleased.
She candidly said, that she should prefer returning to
her husband's house. There she, in some days, became
the mother of a hearty boy, coneernino. Whom and her-
self inquiries have been made from Claremont. It has
been bethre said, that this young woman is the wife of
a respectable yeoman near Claremont. The appintinent
is no slight acquisition. What the whole recompenae is,
in case of the birth of a Princess, we have not learned ;
but, in ease of a Prince, it is 1,3001. and 2001. a-year.
The wife of • a respectable Attorney, having been wet-
nurse to Prinees!,Charlotte, has snow 1001. a year, and
her son is a Lieutenant in the Navy.
