PRINCESS OF WALES'.

elicit upon public opinion.
Even Mr. Ponsonbv, the organ of the Greys and the
Grenvilies, is satisfied ! :;.:isfied with what ?. Lord Castle-
reagh cautiousl.) abstained from committing himself. lie
deplored his interference : he deplored the situation in which
the Pt lute Regent was placed ; he glowed with affected indig-
nation, but all his compassion was .-rn the side of the Prince.
Having once presumed the Princess innocent, be left his
hearers still to presume the .same thing; but not a word
more in her favour----no new topic of exoneration ur excuse.
W hat then becomes of the Princess of Wales ? Enough was
dropved to enlarge the circle of suspicion—to impugn her po-
licy--to degrade the character of her friends, but every thing
cat efuliy avoided that could atone to her injured feelings, or
qualify the indignation of the peop!e. The debate must
have taken a different turn but for the equivocal motion
furnished by Ur. Methuen ; a motion, indeed, that perpe-
tuates the worse characteristic of the coontry, and that
leaves our moral system exposed to the basest of all imputa-
tions. " Coll you this Lucking your friends r" Happily,
however, I,r the Princess of Wales, her situation is known
to the whole *country. Every min and every woman in it
are quhlified to take a share in the discussion : all political
asperities are mere ttifies, compared with the enthusiasm
that all ranks of people feel in the cause of the Princess; and
• Ministers must not esxpect that they will have eithe: patience
or temper to separate the cause of the innocent from the
guilty. Nor is time luke-warm ardour of those who generally
-advocate be cause calculated to allay - the ferment. how-
ever much we may be accused as fond of money in this
country, there is a sentiment, we should hope, much beyond
it: and if we could believe for a moment the Princess bad
this in the slightest degree in view, we should abandon her
' defence or ever.

The communication of the letter which the Speaker deli.
vered to the 'Howe, and the inference attached to it, seem to
have created much surprise in the course of the debate to those
whom, for their own discredit, it unhappily exposed. For if, as
they assert, they meant nothing futther than mere exclusion
frotn the Drawing-room, the cariying of their point at any
moment would, we should have thought, have been a matter of
indifference. But the rime.ehosen was onepregnant with oew
insult., and new charges agairot the character of the individual
concerned. It deprived her of all the attentions she had a
right to expect, and it marked her out as an object too odi-
ous fur association. The usual habits of mankind arc first to
degrane those they would injure, and the Princess had a right
to put an exti eine construction upon an act that was more
4suaLly wanton. It should appear to us that, exccpt..4,

ROYAL 'mu' To PORTSMOUTH.

Po uTimou cu JUNE '23.--"This town has continued to fill upon
fullness, and Coin ten in the ruin ring yesterday, until two, the
cavalcade of vehicles reached from Portsclowu-bill to the Portsea
Gate. Hundreds slept on the ground and in stables the preceding
night, not only at Portsmouth and Portsea, but al Gosport; in short,
every house in the neighbouring yillai."es was tilled, and the neigh-
bouring spots in the Isle of Wight. Many were obliged to ride
twenty miles for a bed, after the arrival attic Prince Regent and
the Illustrious Visitor..

All was anxiety and anticiptian in the morning, until a telegra-
Ode dispatch satisfied the people that the Prince Regent had left
L ninon at eleven o'clock. Ten thnnsand troops were immediately
put tinder mins, and the road to Portsdown was lined with the
military. At lialtpast tour o'clock the guns announced the arrival
of the Prince Regent, at the hill, the same was answered at the
platform on the Portsmouth Parade, and a royal salute was tired
from the Ships of war at Spithead, and next from the ram-
parts round the town. The s.. kite was repeated when the
standard was hoisted on the flag staff of the earrison. General
Houston, the Governor of the town, met the Prince Regent on his
entering the town, and presented him with the keys of the garrison,
which his ROyidHIM afterwards returned agreeable to
etiquette.
A truly grqnd spectacle presented itself on the Royal Visitor
entering the town. The streets were lined in the same manner
during the procession to Guildhall on Saturday last, and the slumbers
assembled, according to the population of the town, was much
greater. 'Vise thundering of cannon, the ringing of bells, the accla-
mations of the populace, and time romantic views from the bat fle-
molts. presented a scene at once magnificent and grand in the
extreme. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was reecive.l at
the GovernMent House by his Royal Brother the Duke, of Clam wee,
as Admiral of the Fleet, and eighty-ninn Admiials and Captains wh
were singly introduced to the Royal Visitor, and had the honour

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES,

On Saturday se'imight, as a farmer was in search of a strayed ox
on Halsdown, about six miles tient Exeter, at a little distance from
the road, lie discovered a man lying in the thicket, almost lifeless,
with his hands anti legs tied fast together. It appears that the poor
nian (called G. lilanclitield) was knocked down and robbed by
three footpads (seamen) on Sunday the 3d instant, who having rifled
him of all he had, about five pounds, deliberated on murdering him,
but aftt:rwards agreed to bind him fast and tin ow him into a hedge :
remained in this cruel situation, without any sustenance, for
&eves, days, and notwithstanding, when the tarmer Jibe' ated him, he
had strength enough left to crawl to Stareross, upwards of live
miles distance. He says he stitkred intolerable distress from the
sNiil.llls Of insects and vermin of the common, which attacked and
tormented him, without his being able to dislodge Wein from his
body.

AMERICA.

The entrance of the Allies into Paris is at last known by
our good friends across the Atlantic. They have received
the intelligence, as it might be expected —the fi rends of \lr.
Madison with sorrow and alarm, and those of independence
and justice with exultation. A witty writer, in the Ameri-
can papers received-last night, to the 22d ult. thus describes
the anticipations of the former, who, like our wise prophel.s
at home, could foresee nothing but the ruin of the Allies

" NEW HAMPTON, SIAY 21.—• The profound politician who en-
lightens the good people of this Stile, by his weakly hietibratiors,
and warms them by his flaming patriotism, had lately gut the Allies
into a most 6 critical situation,' and gave it as his (17.1iherate opi
nion, that if they ever again reached their native region,, they
would owe their escape to superior good fortune.' Yet these same
fool-hardy Allies, notwithstanding the opinion of their enemies
this side the ocean, and the wishes of the enemies on the
other, instead of attempting an escape, bad the presumption to
wish forward direct to Paris, and take up their quarters in that City
of paintings and politeness, of to-pions and folly. The SJve-
reign3, with a courtly civility becoming gallant cavaliers, hive now
returned the visits which they heretofore received from the Emperor
of Franse. He has visited them in Vienna, in Berlin, and in Moscow.
6' In return they hate made a party, and called upon him at Paris.
Like a Iqw horn upstart he refuses to receive them, sends his wife
one way, takes himself another, and leaves his visitants to atoll e
themselves as they can. His friends on both sides the Atlantic
regret his inability to entertain his Royal Guests in the manner he
would wish. It is conjectured by sonic that his conduct has so
much disgusted the visiting party that they will close all cot respou.
dence, with him, and as a parting present, bestow upon him the
Order of the Carter.

" It would be highly edifyintr to the friends of the eminent poli-
tician who foresaw so much difficulty in the escape of the Allieq•
to Le correctly informed of the ways and means by which they ex-
tricated themselves from the great difficulties in which he had in-
volved Viem, and particularly whether their successes have been
owing to their good fortune, or their good swords, or both:"

THE FINE All S.

ft has long been our desbe to extend this department of
our Paper, and we arc shoi fly promised the assistance of a
gentleman of the most refined taste, and extensive knowledge
in the -arts; and, we hope in our paper of Sunday next, to
preseit our readers with an account of Mr. West's last
inimitable production "Christ Rejected," any casual review of
which, would but weaken the claims it has to the general ad-

miration.

We cannot. however, defer noticing the bust which we
have seen of the veteran Blucher, modelled within the last
few days by Turnerelli. It is distinguished for its perfect
likeness, as well as the subdued air and intrepid countenance
td the philosophic llero, It has all his magnanimity without
ostentation--classically arranged and 101 l of benign repose.
It certainly accelerates the rank Turnerelli.s t.dents have all
along promised him, and must raise h:s teputation with
those who are tenacious of fidelity and expression. As soon
as this valuable production is finished, we shall, from the
same source, have the pleasure of laying before our readers,
an essay upon this branch of the art, as connected with a: r a
perennius of celebrated men.

Outwit Notwillstanding it appears to have been w:iten
as a vehicle for the music, die plot is tolerably good, and
the characters are well drawn. The music (composed by
Mr. Parry) is exceedingly pretty and effective, and the au-
dience seemed to be of one opinion, by tire very liberal ap-
plause they bestowed on it. Messrs Lovvgrove, Peuley,
Pyne, and Knight, as well as Mrs. Mountain, Miss Poole,
and Miss Kelly, were excellent in their respective characters.
It was given out f.,r a second representation with gent ral
appiobation. It is surmised in the green-room that the
author of this farce and the rompnFer are one and the
same, which, since the days of Dibdin, is not a coautwa

es f.ending from Charing-cross'to Guildhall, presented a scene
of busy and active preparation : seati and platforms wer e
erected at every house, for the accommodation of persons
desirous of witnessing the grand procession, and happy was
the individual who was fortunate enough to procure accom-
modation upon them, for where one was so happy to do so,
either by interest or friendship, hundreds failed of success.
As it was foreseen that the crowds who would be collected
on this occasion would be immense, every possible precau-
tion was taken by the Committee of Management to prevent
confusion, and to secure eas-s acres; for the company to the
place of entertainment. As one great step towards this, bar:
were erected across all the streets communicating with Fle:t-
street, Ludgate-hill, Cheapside, and the rest of the line
through which the pi oe ession was to pass, and no thorough-
fire was allowed for carriages through these streets after
three o'clock in the afternoon, at which time also the gates
of Temple-bar were closed. From Temple bar to Guildhall,
the road was covered with a thick coat of gravel for the
carriages to proce. d upon ; the streets were hued with foot
tuldiers, and cavalry in parties paraded up and down to
i,cep the passage clear. From many of the houses in Fleet-
street, Cheapside. Rtc. har,ners cowaining appropriate de-
vices were displayed ; he windows and fronts of the houses
*ere at an early hour of the day occupied by thousands of
beautiful and elegantly dre,sed females ; and the pavement
was crowded to such an excess wi!h anxious spectators, that
it was utterly impovible to force a passage through, and all

to Guildhall the. greater. became !he pressure. and it was with
the greatest difficulty that the constables. assisted by the mi-
litary, could preserve a passae for the carriages. The whole
of Guldhal-sard was inclosed, an opening only large enough
for the adapssion af a carriage to drive up to the principal
entrance of the flail being !eft, the carriages having set down,

ABOLITION OF THE SLAVE TRADE.

A most numerous and respectable Meetinc of the Friends of the Abe.
litif.n of the Traffic: in Slaves, took place un Friday at Freemasons'
The Duke of GLOVCESTER being called to the Chair,
Mr. W rt.fiervo arc opened the business. Ile lamented that, by the
Treaty just concluded, France was to be saffered to continue the Slave
Trade f.ir five years. Ile reprobated the horrible traffic in men in the
strongest terms, but abstained from pass.ing any censure direct or in.-
Idled on Ministers, ai they had not yet been heard in defence. lie
was informed that the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria were
;dui favourable. They owed it to their own I igh characters, thee
owed it to Almighty God who had placed themselves in situations of
such high hilly-nee over !warm affair., to dive their best endeavours to
alleviate the evils of mankind, and mitigate the sufferings and wretch-
edness of Africa, A Congress was shortly to be held at Vienna fur
settling the peace of Europe; and he hoped, that at that Congress
such representations would be me.de as might be effectual in putting an
immediate stop to this Irate. He concluded by moving certain reso
lutions, embodying the substance of his speech.
Earl Go s.v seconded the motion, and pointedly condemned the ar-
ticle in the Treaty permitting the Slave Trade to centinue.
Mr. Whit/MEAD Ida the same course. He had been often pointed
out, nut with any view to compliment him, as a man, who, beyond any
other man in England, was linX;01IS tor the restoration of peace. It
Lad been said that he was indifferent about the terms of peace, pro-
vided -it .csiuld be obtained. He should, however, di-elare, that he
never would have agreed to purchase peace,,shy signing an article like
this, which, in Lis opinion, went to destroy peace in the world. He

TIIE ERENCII CONSTITUTION.

I must have withal
Aa large a charter as the wiail to breathe in.

Liberty is the relative term that connects and extends
the public and social duties which devolve upon us in a
state of society : and those nations have been found to
posSess most advantages who have kept in s;gh . the sim-
plicity of those primitive institutions, that even in a state
of nature were always found necessary to regulate the ha-
bits of savage life. But the moment we left these unaf-
fected models, and abandoned the suggestions of reason
and independence, governments took a turn more or less
adverse to the real liberties of manki4o, and despotic
regulations flourished to the exclusion of those equal du-
tie, which are alone calculafcl to gibe permanence and
sclidity to pol.itical establishments.

Th.; loss of real liberty was in compensated by the in-
troduction of more polished manners„ and more compli-
cated systems ; and the folly of those who sought, in their
own persons, to unite the rights of the whole, soon brought
on these -revolutions that have filled the world with exam_
plcs, and our recent times with massacre and tears.
Revolutions are, however, c:ifferent in different coun-
tries, according to the mantit,v awl maxims of different
people, and the resalts have been uniform:y bad or good,
iil proportion to the liberty they have auteedettily been
accustomt•d to. The revolutioa of :England is conse-
qntly altogether different from that of France; and the
iLlerf3e of liberty that has or may result to either, is at
nt to the exclusive b::efit of England.
it does not, however, follow, that the deficiencies of
our usual cas.toms and LAits should exclude us from po-
liti-2al improvement; ou the contrary-, to stand kill, while
other natic:is around us are making gigantic strides to
fCmotlling like moral perfectioia, is to wake a guilty sacri-
fice of our time and intellect to antiquated prejudices and
immoral principles. France, however, and Frenchmen,
seem to be of a different opinion, and instead of ameliorat-
ing the condition of their Iriwz, or laying the foundations
or a permanent government, they have preferred the re-
cog-Laic:if of ancient despotism—under different heads,
true, and with new terms, but still exclusive of their
c'.vn Montesquieu, and in .direct opposition to the best
311CeS .on the forms of a free government.

The articit-s of the new Constitution are the monstrous
union ofjacooinism and despotism—for as in morals, so in
poi ticK, extrPnies meet and center lit one common axiom.
There, is no novelty in a truism, and it wanted 44 no
