SUNDAY, AUGUST 14, 1814.

Though we were prevented by circumstances front
noticing last. Sunday the'extraordinary step taken by the.
Princess of Wales .of quitting the country, we cannot
but enter 'our solemn protest against a measure; pregnant
with ruin to her own Character, and big With danger to
the security and liberty of her child. There is some-
thing so' contemptible in the names' of thoie who are said
to be her advisers, that they furnish no excuse for this de.
reliction of all the obligations she owes a generous nation.

" Wotrintwo, At•ntraT 9.—A great crowd assembled here on the
Stem, nt four o'clock, to witness the di partnre of the Vincess of
Wale., in the Jasi n frigete• which lay off Worthing sit ce..Saturdar.
'4lle arri.ed at the Stein Hotel (it half-past four, when the Hon. Capt.
King not being ready to receive her on her arivftl, she dose Or with
Lady Charlotte Lintkay, another Lady, anti the boy the has so long
protected, to South lamcine, whit:4 i- about two miles ftorn Worthing,
appnrenlv wishing to elude the people who were waiting to see her
embark. After she bad kit VI/orating; Captain King appQared on the
beach. col into a small boat, and oly ut hall way between the shore
and the Jason was met by his own' barge, vhicli proceeded to Lancing
frt. the Princess : her female domestics were taken on board froM Wor;
thing —it ra'her singular, and, indeell, occasioned much 'urprize
here, that the heads of the Bosrestreet Office were at the Stein Hotel
on the orcacion. •The Princess had one cfaispictunis article among her
!macaw., viz, a larue tin case, on whichwas painted in white letters-4,
Ifer Royal, Highness the Princess of Wolfs - to be always with her.'
Her Royal Higlines4 had on a dark cloth► pells.e, nh•ldrge gold cla‘pss
and a cap of violet and green satin, of the Prussian linsiar costume,
lei.h a green feather. She and her soite were conveyed to the barge
in a small poney cart, driven by her own coachman. All the carriages
and her.etnen which had been on the bead- at Worthing, and as many
pedestrians as could,•foliosved her Royal Highness to Worthing. When
on board the bane, she kissed her hand to the -females, who waved
their handkerchiefs. The farewell was a silent orie, seemingly as if it
were feared that shouts might be misconstrued. The Jusbn sailed
about seven o'clock!!

We are amongst the many who confess, that the res.
torAtion of the Bourbons has never 'satisfied the objects vrb
had in contemplation by the removal of the Buonaparte's
and; it will berecolleeted, that our correspondent in Parii
communicated the 'interesting' fact; that the manuscript
proclamations issued by Monsieur carefully abstained from
auy mention of those popular prineiples it *as afterwards
found politic to insert. How little the bases acceded to
by thencW Government have been adhered. to, ..we have
more than- once been compelled to expose, and it will be
seen by the .debates which are now going ou'with 'respect
to thelibertir of "the press, that the temper of. all ranks of
people are more favourable to its- establishment, thin those
who have taken a 4'6:mg view of 'the French character
would wish us to believe. • -. •
