ment to make his Speech, are fresh in the recallec-
lion of the public. According to The Cuwrier, his
Royal Highness would make his Speech from the
Throne. The Morning Post, aspiring to more ac-
curate intelligence. said—No, he would make it
from a seat at the foot of the Throne. The door
at which he was to eater was also a subject of the
most anxious solicitude and inquiry. First he
was to enter at the great eastern door; but no, that
would not be worthy of the occasion. A grand en-
trance must be made for him on the western side,
in New Palace-yard ; and to it the workmen went.

his Country and affection for his Sovereign, be
consented to carry on the business of Government
in the ordinary way, in contemplation and full as-

it is quite low and illiberal to attempt to .leci:ie.!

such a conclusion from such premises ; that it could
never have been in the contemplation of the RE-
GENT to treat Messrs. PERCEvAL and Co. as FAL-
STAFF declared of his gang, when he said..." I'll
not march through Co.entry with thew, that's
flat !"—But does not all this anxiety of the Tres-
sury scribes do away the impression. *hew that
the impression has been made, and that their em-
ployers are sore at it ?—lf any doubt could remain
on this subject, the language of The Courier of
last night would remove it It is understood,"
says that servile print, " that his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT, amongst manyiither magna-
nimous acts of filial and reverential regard for his
Royal Father, hes declared, that it is not his inten-
tion to visit Parliament in his new character until
he is enabled to announce to Parliament the re-
storation of His MAJESTY'. health, and his coast-
quent capability of resuming tho full exercise of
the functions of his Kingly office."—Well done,
Mr. Courier ! This is a new and a most unex-
pected view of the case. So then, after it had been
blazosed in the Treasury Journals that the Re-
SENT was to 4ive the eclat of his presence in Par-
liament to the men who had treated him with mis-
trust and jealousy—who ordered a grand door to be
ide for his entre, and planned the procession with
extraordinary pomp arid ceremony—we find that it
would hare betrayed • want of filial arid reveren-
tial regard for his Keyed Father, had he complied
with the wishes of Ministers‘—This is certainly a
most happy discovery !-.11 the REGetre does not
coalesce liven and hand with Ministers, they ought
not to be hurt :lit it. If he keeps them at a dis-
tance, they must not be the less proud on that at-
count. It is lint (according to The Courier) as his
Royal Highneas has declared, because he Woes not

ment, but because it would chew a want of filial
and reverential regard for his Royal Father, were his
Royal Highness to identify himself with Mini !
An account of the presentation of the Address of

disappoint the hope-a of the Nation, which his
interns and virtues had inspired. their perusal of
this account will dispel their fears. The Ad-
dress (of which we give a copy) must have been
