The Violet, Captain DARE, arrived at Plymouth,
on Mondaylas:, fro;-n Be ion, inAmerica, in ballast,
not bOng permitted to load a 'cargo for England, • in
consecliwnce of the enforcement of the- .IN,9p-Inter-
pur A4l.

The exec!gerations and this-statettents Of the Op-
position Wiitt-rs are so notatiot.ieil that' we believe
the I'. ')licin general be.ratlier inclined to dis,
trust any matter of lat.-1 which ti:k.sy.migiA happen to
relate, even with the striEtest reprt to. truth, than to
rely upon any of their rnisrepreseitjeiton, however

t r
pt.rbable 'they might appear. But th.il
tf yr).t e s are
•
guilty of such inconsistencies, that they abundantly
justify the distrust of the Publie,.since,they-so often
refute and counterad themselves. One- clay we are
.told that Mr. PERCEVAL and his friends wish to keep
all the posts of Government within their pwn grasp,
hOwever they might aired a she W of disinterestedness,
by tendering important offices to Lord GREY and Lord
GRENVILLE. Then the writers admit that Mr. Pzw-
cvitr. was sincere in his offer, because, they- say,
he wanted the weight and importance of those great
charaaers to give stability and credit to his Admi-
nistration. Then again the Opposition Writers
shift their ground, and assure the public-that an
offer was made to the Noblemen in question; upon
a strong presumption that _they would decline it.--
To-day the leading Paper of 'the Opposition, 'and
another that affeals independence and impartiality,
seem to ad in, concert, 'and assert that Mr. ReacE-
. vat. had aanally appointed a-young Nobleman to
the Boat(' of Controul without 'his concurrence, and
that the latter has positively refused the situatirin
•
The real fad upon this mighty charge is founded
as follows .Lord FRANCIS SPEI4.OErIG'a 'few months

ego,' intimated a wish to accept:. an of6c,e un-
der the present Administration, and that wish
was recently repeated. more than once by a near re-

lation of the Noble in consequence of which
Loro,Fam-icts was appointed to the vacant place at
the Board of Coutroul. It is true that his Lordship

bas since declined accepting an Office; but certainly

not .as-has Len asserted " in the mp3t angry terms ;"
on the wrwary, we have rQasclo in be -believe that
1 expressed himself in the mask friendly manner
t'
towaidi the Administration. --

The following observatio.ns are made in a Frenclt
Paper, in a critique upon a new farce, called " here
are no more children," and we ate sorry to say,
that they are qktite as ;Applicable in England as they
are in France. ;

Thereare no more .Children." This assertion
is unfortunately too true. Children now treat their
parents, their relatives, their masters, with crr
tempt ; great -reasOners before they. have attained
the age of reason ; learned oors before they, have
acquired any knowledge ;' great libertines bytbre the
age of Corruption they have all the vices of that
society of which they are not yet member's. Child-
hood has lost its chancier, and- all its amiable qua-
lities.. Lieention:ines,a, pride, :and boldness,: have
superseded and

Childhood a, i were, cut 'off from lint a life,

The lite of ma;.:is now composed only of two .sea-
sons---he commences it by summer, and his autumn
is a winter. -We haye .overturned everything; we'
want the fruit b. fore the" blossom. It is the modern
practice to put cl il'dren i.r j, but beds. Every thing
