ANSWER.

" The Undersigned has the honour to transmit
the folloing to Mr. ALEX. HORNE, in reply to
his Note of the 29th ult.:--However willingly the
Undersigned would afford Mr, HortNE his proted-
tit= as the Envoy of the Eletior of Brunswick, and
which ,he, as a Subjeet of his Britannic Majesty and
t',loBtorof Brunswick Lunenburgh, is every. way justi-
fied in demanding of him, it is the more painful to
the Undersigned, to find himself under the disagree-
able necessity of withholding this proteaion; so far
as it relates to Mr. ALEX. Hoatit's residence at
liatisbon.

" The intention of His Majesty, as Eletior of
Brunswick Lunenburgh, is calculated to convince
the world, that the conne&ion,of the Ele&oral Dig-
nity with the. Crown of Great Britain, which has
been represented in such odious colours, is by no
means of that nature as to occasion auy prejudice
to the other States of Europe. According to
these principles, . the Undersigned must regulate his
condco

" If his. Grace the Eleaoral Arch-Chancellor has
judged it convenient to remove Mr. HORNE, under
various groundless imputations relative to his con-
neaions with the Head of the Rotnish Church, and
in order to effect this removal, has Made use of his
authority as . .Sovereign, the Undersigned, should
he agree to Mr. .A..Hott-,N)r,!'s reqnest, would piace
himself in no small degree of embarrassment, par-
ticularly as by so doing he would be guilty of an at 7
tack upon the rights of ..his Grace the. Eteacral'
Arch-Chancellor as a Sovereign ; and this would
be so much the more conspicuous, since Mr. ALEX.
ijORNE haS publicly acknowledged hiinselfas a Mem.:
ber of a Religious Foundation, and so far i s looked upon
as a subje& of his Grace the Electoral Arch7Chancellor.
In this situation of affairs,, even the avowed inten-
tions of His Britannic Majesty, as Eleaor, of Bruns-
wick-Lunenburgb, would, be totally perverted ;
on the part. of the Envoy, any protection whatever
should be afforded, in dired opposition to the mea-
sures of .the. Ministry of his GraCe the Eleaoral
Arch-Chancellor. The , French Envoy would not
fail to take occasion of yepresentingthis proteCtion,
iu opposition of the Sovereign rights of the Arch,
Chancellor, as an unqUestionable proof that the
connection of the Eleaoral dignity with the British
Crown, in the person of His Britannic Majesty, is
of dangerous consequences to the tranquillity and
safety of the German States ;
.and it would neces-
sarily follow, according to the known disposition of
the German States, that impressions very unfitvour-
able to the interests of His Majesty, in his double
capacity of Eleaor and King, must, arise.
" Under these considerations, Mr. ALEXANDER
HORNE,' of whose extensive information, and pa-
triotic sentiments, the Undersigned entertains the
highest opinion, will be satisfied, that the interest
of His Majesty, in his double capacity, as King of
Great Britain and Elector of Brunswick Lunen-
' burgh, necessarily requires that the proteCtion of
the Envoy, as far as it' concerns a residence in the
City of Ratisbon,. eonnot be conceded. .
" The Undersigned avails himself of this op-
portunity to assure Mr. ALEXANDER HORNE of the
distinguished esteem with which he has the honour
to remain, &c. _ , -

Mrs. C. YOUNG, late Miss GRIMANT, was a very
interesting and elegant young.Mtress. 'Her figure
was rather of too small a Scale for the Winter
Theatres ; but her powers, so far as they extended,
seemed to be under .the guidance- of a very good un-
derstanding, and to be direEted by feeling. Her
person was very pleasincr, and her whole deport-
ment much superior to the generality of Adresses
on the London Stage. She appeared to be quite in
the blood of youth,
