It is singular that Lord Castlereagh should so
asimly express his indignation at what he terms
the present licentious state of a part of the nblic
pret., respecting the pending case of the Queen,
:mil intimate his desire that the' prosecutions` fur
become general. when it will be re.
coVected his Lordship warmly opposed Mr. Whit-
bread', pot in 1813. which had for its object
the punishment of the Government press that then
libelled the Princess of Wales, and published the
es-parte evidence of Lady Douglas, the 'falsehood
of which was so loudly delimiticrd by the Noble
Lind himself. The following extract will be read
with interest from Mr. Whiibread's speech. on the

lilt March. 1813, in proposinw—o
o
" That haviag seen with deep concern and issilionation
certain publications i.lfensive to decency and good murals,
and which nine' be ektremely painfulto the feelings of those
loth persona interested, as well as to those of every subject,
O. it they did therefore resolve, that an humble Address be
presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, praying
that he would be graciously pleased to direct proper means
to be taken for the purpose of !mitigate to justice all per-
sons concerned, with a view to prevent the repetition and
continuance of such publications."
After the lapse of a week from the debate to which he had
before alluded, the evidence which had been so blasted
came forth simultaneously in two papers—these papers were
The Horning Post and The Morning Herald—and if he
was not much mistaken, the Noble Lord appeared to jus-
tify the publication as a consequence of the militate of Ca.
bine% which he said he i Mr. W.) read, in order to produce a
false impression, and that on his head was to fall the blame
of the *bole publication. He could hardly suppose, how.
ever, that eves if be hail read say document with the view
imputed to him by the Noble Lord, that any man could as-
sump as a justification of such conduct as the publication
of that blasted evidence. He had, indeed, read the minute,
which was sent by the Cabinet that made it to the Illustrious
Person whose acquittal it pronounced. Rut there was a mi.
note beyond that, which he bad read, and which referred to
a request made by her Royal Highness for an apartment in
some of the Royal Palaces, is order to enable her Royal
Highness to attend a drawiog-room with more convenience.
The Cabinet hail justified the request, but left the compli.
once with it to his Majesty's pleasure. After all those pro.
ceedings, and in the face of those decisions, it was that the
deposition of Lady Douglas was sent forth into the world
through the medium of the public papers, and he would
mention two of those papers In shew that the publication
did not interfere with the plans of Administration, nor were
disagreeable to the residents at Carhon-house. On recollec-
riot,. he would paw over one of the papers, and in justice
to the Prince of Wales he would select omi:ober—he *well
fix on The Morning Herald, in order to enable the friends
of his Royal Highness to vindicate bins from any share in
the publication ; for whoever saw at the bead of that paper
the crest of his Royal Highness conspicuously emblazoned—
whoever knew the habit, of the Rev. Proprietor of that
paper—whoever knew that this Rev. Proprietor had been
lately distinguished as a Divine by humours and promo.
lion out of the usual course—slowest' knew all ibis and read
the gross and scandalons publications which had recently up.
peered in The Morning Herald, mast conclude that they
were nut disagreeable is a high quarter.
" Before the Representatives of the people of Eagland,
then," exclaimed Mr. Whitbread, " I now defy the accusers
of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. I do sot pro-
nounce her innocent, but I challeuge them to prove her
guilty; I call upon them to produce their charges, and to
bring her Royal Highness to a public trial. She cannot
prosecute; she has no husband to prosecute fur her. I have
beard it said, that she should leave the country. Alas, Sir,
is it for innocence to fly, sod where is it that she can retire!
She is at once doubly unfortunate, for she is of the most
exalted rank, and the most unprotected woman in the king-
dom. Let us look at experience; let us consult our feel-
ings. She came here to a high destination. tut ou the
bard condition that attaches to female Royally she came a
fureigner,unknowing and sakisowc, to meet the fate that
might await her. Let us remember what betel Caroline
Matilda, the sister of his present Majesty, who was can.
fortunately married to a pesos unworthy of her—the theta
King of Denmark. A conspiracy was formed in the Court
of that kingdom, which arose out of a struggle for power,
and two individuals, Beanie and Sirnensee, were executed
as being criminally connected with the Queen. The his-
torian of those transactions, after noticing the afliiction of
his Majesty, observed that all was to be ascribed to the want
of fairand ads grate tribunals is that country. The unhappy
Matilda sought her husband in vain through armed mu, soil
would have found no protection but for the powerful interces-
sion of his Mrjesty. Shi was by these means removed to
Zell, iu Hanover, where she died at the age of 24, the vie-
tim of her sufferings, and principally, as it had been said,
of grief at the separation from her childsen. The high
legal authorities in Denmark declared there was no crimi-
nality in the Queen's conduct, and just so does my Lord
Eldon pronounce the legal innocence of the Princess of
IVales. But thig mysterious examinations still continue,
and her Royal Highness find', notwithstanding the boast of
the historian, that there is even in this country no tribunal
to which her guilt or innocence could he brought to issue.
She has, however, the consolation to know that her father,
whose great heart, as it had been well said, burst with sor-
row at the downfall of the Prussian mimasehy, hail received
all the papers relative to the itiveloigation of her conduct,
and had exp d his dying conviction of his daughter's in-
nocence. Her mother, too, was in this country equally satis-
fied, mid to her bosom she might retire for solace in her soli-
tude and alliction. She hail hat two supporters in the vin-
dication of her character—her husband and the law. Would
the House deprive her of the latter ? The cosine be had
talon was open and direct : he bad advised no threatening
letters; he bad at once appealed to the Representatives of
the People in her be half. He dial not wish to execute justice
on the memory of Mr. Perceval, hut Lord Chancellor Eldon
was alive, mad os him be would willing execute justice, if he
could. He should certainly abstain from making the motion
of which he had given notice, and earuestly hoped that a
disposition similar to that which be knew to exist on one
side might be evinced, for it never was too late us the
other.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Proprietors was held,
pursuant to public halite. le the' &Hums •Eif Ole

C4LcIt4IP2 tieing called to the chair, stated
to the Misting that he and the other. Members of
the Sub-Committee had met the Gentlemen of the
General Committee above stains; that .* vote of
thanks had been agreed to, by theni Its the Sub-
Committee ; and Unit Uport fall deliberation On
all the circumstances it had been determined
on to lay befirre the Proprietors the statement
or their affairs. together with some propo.i.
lions fur the directioh• of therh"in forme, which
he was then about to sufimit. He would/list retol
their remembrance to the stroharrassioesits under
which the Sub-Committee had assumed the ma-
nagement. of thi•ir concerns. there was, at the
time, a debt weighing upon them to no less an
amount than 91,000/. and unwinds. Of this
they had ettinguislied, by istresigeniesits agreed
to by the creditors, about 35,0004 The debt
being tints reduced to about 57,0001. they had
since received subscriptions to the amount of
13,2301.. which under rill eircumstances•-or acci-
dents and change of fortune. Whielt prevented

be thought a very creditable amount, there being
.then a defalcation in the whole amount of the sub•
cription of no more than 400/. It was to the credit
or the subscriliers that Ilse amount *as so great.
Much gratitude was due from them to the King,
then Prince argent, not only for his 1,0001. but
for the effect of his cmintenance and encourage-
ment. without which all their elforti would bare
been vain. Besides these thirteen thousand pounds,
there had been subscribed by tradesmen out of the
compositions due to them about 11,000/., making
in all 11,000/. which it was their business to account
for. Out of this sent be stated various payments
which had been Made, by which the debt war re-
duced to 39,9231, Ile praised Mr. Billiton for the
punctuality with which he hash paid the rent of the
theatre, to the amount, already received, of 3,8611.
He mentioned also the improvements made by
Mr. Ellision in the condition of the property, by
which it had been benefited at least 4,000/. The
receipts at the doors horns?, also iticreirieil considera-
bly, proved the excellence of the present theatrical
management. They had then left a balance or 4,565/.
This had not lain idle. By laying it out in India
bonds it had amassed interest. Alter the mosst mature
deliberation. it had been determined to recommend
to the Proprietors that 4,000/. should be immediately
applied for the purpose of totally discharging the
tradesmen's debts. and so far ehtirely Sweeping away
the old claims of that nstUre which were outstard.
ing. Among them. of course, were to be included
the claims of actors. servants of the theatre, and so On.
He therefore whetted this to be received as a "public
notice to all such claimant., that on lirednesday and
Thursday in this week, and on Tuesday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday, in next week, all such persons
had only to apply at the treasury during the usual
hours,usul their claims would be discharged. There
would then remain between 4001. and 5004
in hand, an amount which was 110 more than ne-
cessary to go ire with the current expenses.
It was proposed ifterWards to pay the interest on
the bonds, and discharge the claims of the bond-
holders it. full. As far as they had gone, there-
fore, they had effected all that ever had been pro-
mised by them to the public. They had, and they
would have, ample means to keep faith with all the
creditors and subscribers. After the first 60 nights
performance of the coming season, it was proposed
to effect a reduction of the subscription loan and ing
west, by paying off 2,5 per cent. and one year's
interest. He wished it 'to be known, that shout
Christmas next, or after, the 'subscribers would be
able to receive so much of their claim. Thus would
they be able to keep, to the utmost scruple, their
engagements with all persons concerned. Those
the most interested, the new renters and bond-
holders, would have what hail been 'promised,
a substantial and available security. The pros-
pect of a dividend, lie owned. was rather remote,
being put off fur nine years, but in the mean
time the shares would become inure valuable, hav-
ing already improved 10 per cent. Ile concluded by
observing what great attention hail been given to
the subject by the Sub-Committee, than whom
there could be no Geritlemesi better qualified for
the business, lie had no doubt, and he thought
there could be no doubt, of the uhmate redemp-
tion of the property.
The meeting then resolved to approve of the
accounts laid before them.
Mr. Oakley was re-elected auditor.
A Avirion of the •Geeserel Committee was with-
drawn according to rule. The mimes which were
drawn for retiring were, Mr. Calcraft, Lord Yar-
mouth. Sir T. Turtum, Hou. George Lamb.
and Alderman Cos.
• " They were immediately re-elected.
The Sub-COMmittee was also re-elected. and
was still to consist of Mr. Calcraft. Mr. Swine,
Sir Thomas Ttiriou, Mi. Rubins. and Colonel

OPENING OF THE REGENT'S .CANAL.
The ceremony of opening this beautiful Canal,
which unites the Grand Junction Canal ut Pad-
dington with the river Thames at Lintehouse, took
place yesterday morning. At tell o'clock the com-
pany began to assemble. and at half-past ten o'clock
the Chairman, Deputy Chairing/I.mnd several of the
Directors went on board the large Paddington plea-
sine-boat, belonging to Mr. Godfrey, which was
superbly fitted up for their accommodation, and
decorated from stein to stern with various flags
and streamers sin-mounted with the royal snowbird.
There was a military hand of music on Arelt, In
splendid uniforms, playing ‘, kale Britannia" mid
other national airs. The next Was the Lord Mover's
state barge, superbly ornamented with various* flag.,
an excellent hand of music on deck, the Lund
Mayor's footmen in splendid liveries, and mime of
the City Officers, and rowed by eight pair of 'oars,
in rich scarlet uniforms. Next followed a barge
laden wkile coal, next a barge loaded with corn,
next a barge loaded with boles of curious kinds of
goods, another with timber,• each decorated with
Tags, and full of company; then followed *espial
plessurehoons, filled with well-dressed person'. The
whole line of the canal from Paddington to Step-
ney and Illackwall was lined with spectators, which
gave it the appearance of a state gala. Several
booths, marquees, and tents, were erected at various
stages ou,the margin, particularly over the tunnel,
iu White•conduit-fields, giving that place the ap-
pearance of a fair. At twenty minutes -before
eleven the procesaiou started from the Regent's
