A 4 plc allowance to Merchants, &c. for Exportation:

will allow him the power of judging for himself
on the words uttered by Lord GREY, and to say
that his Royal IlighneAs wi.s capable of being
duped, by " means the most unconstitutional—
the most unjust, base," &c. is to deny him the
possession of common sense, and to brand htm
with a subserviency to any malignant insinua-
tions. But what were the words uttered by
Lord GREY, which are supposed to have raised
this personal objection; without recurring to 'the
other charge so inconsistent with it ? Why, to
adopt Lord GREY'S own words, as stated in
his explanatory letter to 'Lord MofRA I
" then said, that the most distinet and authentic
pfedges had been given to them,:of the PRINCE'S
"wish to relieve 'them from the disabilities of
"'which they complained ; that I spoke in the
" hearing 'of persons who would contradict me if
K what I said was unfounded, and who would, I
" was sure, support its truth if questioned ;, that
" now, when the fulfilment of these pledges was
" confidently expected, to see ail, Administration
"continued in power, which stood on the express
" principle of resisting their claims, was perhaps
"the bitterest
.disappointment they had yet expe-
" rienced ; and that it was not surprising if, uu,
".der such circumstances, they felt and acted in a
.•
" Way that all Well-wishers to the peace of the Em-
" pire must regret.-

We have received French Papers to the 7th
They announce the departure of &To NA-
. PARTS from Dresden for Posen. It does not
appear \that the Russian or French.armics have

i nstant.

recently made any movement of importance; Ave
therefore presume, that the negociations still con-
tinue. A formal contradiction has been given in
the French. Papers to the Orders of the Day said
to hate been issued by BuosArARTE to his army ;
and a very severe reprimand is given to the fa-
bricators of news in Paris. We may collect, from
the style of the article to which we are alluding,
that, some rumours of a very unfavourable nature
respectingthe state of the war in Spain have been
circulated in. Paris. Our readers will smile at
the mariner in which BUON'APARTE has attempted
to contradict them.

Now, though Lord GREY was not contradicted
in the House, was his assertion supported?. What
proofs are there that thenti NCE gave these pledges
that his Lordship mentioned; and as his Lordship
might have been deceived when he was inforthed
that such pledges had \been given, why Nl:as his
Lordship so confident, in his assertions ? Had he
no. friends in the House who were acquainted
with these pledges as well as himself, or were they
all likely to be reluctant in supporting his allega-
tions ? Upon the whole, the Opposition Writers
have made out a poor, inconsistent case, and have
most egregiously failed' in attempting to rescue the
GREYS and the GRENVILLITES frOm the imputation
of an enormous thirst for power, by Charges
against the PRINCE REGENT, of harbouring per-
sonal anamosities, or of being a mere instrument
in the hands of malevolence and falsehood.

We have learnt the following particulars of the
French squadron, recently destroyed by.the North-
tthAllitntl, from an intelligent master of one
of the merchant vessels captured by it, and who
was on board the Adorn' e. • it is important in two
points of view ; first, it shews the wretched state
of the French navy; and secondly, the con-
temptuous lip-ht,in which the French officers con-
sider their friends the Americans.

The Arianne, of 44 .guns, and 380 Men, was
commanded by Commodore FERTTE,Rf a ;Member
of the Legion of Honour, an experienced officer; the
other officers were young, and ignorant in their
profession. The crews of hothfrigates were a corn-'
plete medley of French, Dutch, and men from
every part of Europe under the Frtnch yoke ; the
greater part of them new conscripts; the Com-
modore's ship. had not more than thirty or forty
good seamen on board. The Ariaizrte had seldom
less than thirty in her sick list ; about twelve died
of a malignant fever ; the people were short of
very dirty, swarming with vermin, and
infected with the itch. From the miserable man-
ner in which they were manned, their general dislike
to the service, the continual dread they betrayed
of falling, in with a British force, it is thought
-a very 'inferior squadron would have captured
them will little difficulty,„

The English Masters and their passengers were
treated in the kindest manner, lived and messed in
the ward-room with the Lieutenants, and had every
,indulgence and respect shewn to them; whereas
All the American Masters were treated with
marked contempt, were sent to mess With the
Boatswain and petty officers, and very few of
_them were allowed to, spew themselves on the
quarter-duck. The ships destroyed by this squa-
dron were, 10 English, 13 Americans, 3 Portu-
guese, and a Spanish packet—in the whole, 27 ;
those of the English not 'valuable, .being all out-
ward bound.

Yesterday Divine Service was performed at
Carlton House, by the Rev. Mr. BLOMBE:IG, Clerk
of the Closet to the PRINCE REGENT and the
Household, and Dr. CLARK. •

Yesterday Lord SIDMMITII had an audience of
the. PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House.

The Opposition Writers, as might be expected,
ere labouring very hard to defend their party, for
having shewn theraseives so impolitic, and so de-

feetive in zeal for the national interest as to lose

the opportunity of coming into office when it
was tendered to them upon such terms as none
but the most arrogant and rapacious tempers
would have declined. The Morning Chronicle of
to-day has chiefly confined itself to Lord GREY,
and strives most anxiously to vindicate the
Noble• Earl, in particular, for his conduct in
rerasing to take a share in the new Admi-

nistration. The Chronicle is, however, ob-
viously too passionate to be clear and consistent
in its charges. First, it avers -that "AN oB-

SECTION PERSONAL TO lORD GREY, FOR WORDS
SPOKEN BY HIM IN PARLIAMENT, existed in that
quarter which by the Constitution is supposed to
be always free from such feelings." In the next
pia&, it maintains that " means, the most un-,
constitutional., as well as. the most unjust and
base, have been employed with complete success
to poison the PRINCE'S mind against Lord GREY—
personally." Now if, admitting for the sake of
argument, that a personal objection had been
taken apiust Lord GREY for words spoken by
him in Parliament, it is plain Lord GREY himself
would have raised that personal objection ; and
there is no occasion to resort to the silly and in-
decent- charge of " means the most unconstitu-
tional—the most Unjust and base," &c. &c. to poi-
son the Mind of the PRINCE against his Lordship.
Surely-, with all the slander which the ODpoAition
Writers LICI£ SU freely cast oa +Jae PRINCE, they

Yesterday the Duke.; of YORK and CUMBERLAND
visited the, PRINCE REGENT.
Tild Parks were yesterday filled with . beauty
and fashion. The fineness of the day attracted
persons of all ranks ; amongst the equipages were
those of the—
Duchesses of St. Albans, Montrose, and Dorset ; the Mar-
chionesses of Salisbury, Headfort, and.Downshire ; Countesses
Camden, Liverpool; Cowper, &c.

The following is an extract of a letter brought
by the Abundance,which arrived on Thursday from
Gibraltar :

GIBRALTAR, MAY 25.—Ballasteros' hcai-l-quar-
teis are still at Los Barrios ;'he has about 10,000
troops at Algesiras, St.Roque, and the neighbour-
hood. Tile French, a few days since, pushed on
a reconnoitring party.within a few leagues of Al-
gesiras, but the contest which ensued was merely
a skirmish of outposts.--Deserters 'come in daily
from the French forces.

Since, my last, the Porcupine, Capt. Elliott, has
sailed for England with a convoy ; the . Druid,
Capt. Searle, for Tangiers, to convoy the Moorish
frigates to Alexandria, for the pirpose of receiv-
ing on board the young Prince of Morocco, who
is returning from a pilgrimage to Mecca; the
Onyx, Capt. Phillips, to cruize off Cowhill; and
the Nonpareil, Capt. Sherwin, for LiSbon. The
Abundance sails with the mail for England this
day. Ships in the Bay.—San Juan, 74, Com-
Modore G. V. Penrose ; Standard, G 4, Captain
lion. C. E. Fleming ; Lavinia, Capt. George Di;-:
by ; and Magnet, Capt. Fes. M. Ma.nnie. The Cleo-
patra, Captain S. T. Pechell, is cruising, in the
Gut.

Les bataillons rouges, as the French call the
British troops in the Peninsula, have inspired the
" Conquerors of the Couticent" with such terror,
that tc call out voila les bataillons rouges, is con-
sidered as synonimous with the cry of sauce qui
peat, and is punished With equal severity in the
the French Army.
Mr. WHITBREAD Certainly did not snare in the
•mortification which his party friends experienced,
on their late defeat ; for, when \in the lobby, he
said to their leader, " VONSONBY, you have cer-
tainly effected more than probably was ever done
before within these, walls : for, by the superior
ingenuity of yourself and friends, you have almost,
instantly, and upon the same Motioh, converted a
