The Motnitig Chronicle of yesterday gasre a :long
article on :the Subject of Lord Wai.,rEsr..Ey'S diffe-
rences with his late Colleagues; and; on .the faith
of a certain Statement,' said to be privately circa-
_ laced, •it charges. Mr. FEibEVAL With disingenuous
proceeding ; because, at the crone that _he obsert eel
try
,Lord WELLESLEY, the forms of outward
and confidence, he made application to the. PaiNcn
REGENT •to nominate a successor to titat Noble
Lord.—This ..charge of.disingenuousness, this most
false and odious imputation of double dealing agalOst
'one of - the most candid and honourable minds that
'ever lived, we must ,indignantly repel ; apd we are
'persuaded the Noble Marquis will be but little
obliged to the Opposition for the consfruaion which
they have put upon his statement of fads (if indeed
it be his Lordship's) ; it is not indeed of the fael,
as tatecl, .but of tht; , construe/ion 'put upon them,-
that we complain, and we confidently believe that,
the few following sentences will evince the justice
of our cotnplaint.---,Some time previous to the expis
ration of the, testriCtions, Lord WELLESLEY, we. ate,
:informed, tendered to the PitINCE' his resignation ;
but with an offer Or. understanding (we know not
-which) -to hold,- if it should suit his Royal •
1 ness's convenience, the seals of office till-the restric
lions were, aeltially expired, but beyond that period
he is said to have cieelared that hecould not go on
under Mr. PERCEVAL.- Mr. PERCEVAL exceedingly
regretted the loss-of Lord WELLE,LEY'S name and
talents from the Cabinet,, and was extremely desirous,
that he could be induced to continue a. member of.
it; but as his Lordsls4p adhered to his first deter-
mination, Mr. PERcgvAL felt that nothing could
.be more inconvenient and improper than .that. a
Minister should nominally hold the seals after
he had virtually resigned; he, was also aware that
there could not-be a-more ill-chosen moment 'for.
.'xhibiting the differences of the, Ca'sinet than. the
very crisis of the, expiration of the restrictions; and,
therefore,- w hen'LordWcir.EsLEy had _finally re-
solved to retire, nothing could bs more natural or
more proper than that Mr. PERCEVAL should wish
to have his successor, named, as soon as 'possible, in
order to prevent, as well the inconvenience of go-
ing' on with a nominal Secretary of State, as the
,danger to the Administration which Lod WELLEs-
LEY'S secession at the critical moment of the new
sera would have created. We have always under-
stood that Mr. PERCEVAL expressed the greatest re-
gret at Lord WELLE,SLEY'S retirement, and, we are
confident, - felt the necessity of recommending his
successor as a most -painful -duty ; which he was oh--
liged to perfcrna, but u hich he performed with
great personal reluctance, and with ail expressions
of respect and kindness towards Lord WELLESLEY.
These we believe to be the facts, and these are the
views which we think these facts warrant. We are
satisfied that our readers will think that this .eXpla-
nation was necessary, in reply to the- ungenerous in-
sinuations of the Morning Chronicle; but .we trust
that we have now done with the subject ; and that
the hand of Malisnity will refrain from disturbing
the ashes of the illustridus dead.

,MR. SUERIDAN.--A General Meeting of the Bur-
geises of Stafford,.. took place in the Town Hall on.
'Wednesday last, to consider the state of the repre-
sentation of the
.Borougn, in the event of a dissoG
lution of Parliament. The.. Rev. H. RATIIRONE,
Mayor, in the Chair. Sir OSWALD MOSLEY ad-
dressed the Eledors in an eloquent speech, strongly
recommending Mr. SHERIDAN to their, choice.—
Mr. SntRIDAN then caine forward amid the gene-
ral and reiterated cheers and acclamations of the'
whole Meeting. The;Flonourable Gentleman no-
ticed the result Of his canvas, which he stated to be
entire and perfect unanimity in his fairour, through
all ranks and descriptions of per Sons. He had in-
tended, he said, to have entered somewhat at
on political topics, and upon the present, most
perilous state of the ,country, but the feelings ex-
cited by the account' bought by express the pre-
ceding night,.of the'execiable"murder of Mr.,lNti-
CEVAL, had so far interfered with his purpose, as to
indispose him to assume at Unit. moment a tone of
political
.warmth; or to point;censure at eitiler men
or measures. Mr. Stri.'ar DAN,: after noticing with-
warm feelings of satisfattion, 'an address wl,tch he
received from Stafford, and to which more thin 800
signatUres were affixed, strimgfy approving a.nrctiiin
he .made in the •House'ill Commons, in, support.
of the freedom of -,the Press; concluded ,by as
-
Suring the' Electors, that if they again elected
him as one 'of their Representatives, they would.
send to Parlament a man whose price is not on
this, earth; to betray or desert the cause of .his
country, of his constituents, for any boon or
benefit which Ministers, Pi inces, or Kings can be-
stow on him Two Resolutions were t hen unanimous-
ly passed," declaring that the conduct and principles
of Mr. "SHERIDAN, since he was 'elected to repre-
sent the Borough in L 76,, fully-. entitled him to
the cordial esteem,. and the entire confidence of the
Ele6tors. -A handsome dinner was afterwards provid-
ed at the Swan Inn, and•Mr,7Shtridati, on his health
being drank, addressed the Company, pressing Electorsup
on the Eleors present the necessity of examining
the principles; and 'narrowly 'watching the cinndud
of their Representatives, and after the Company
separated, immediately proceeded on his way to
London. '

We have extraaed the following observations, in
which we most heartily concur, from a Paper of
this morning :—speaking. of the houses opposite
Newgate Yesterday, it says:---The windows were
filled with speaatbrs ; amongst .• whom we were
sorry to obs4ve a number of females, whose ap-
pearance indicated a respeaablerankin society. At
such a scene; the nerves of the firmest .Man receive
a .shock; how women can so far perinit their curi-
osity to ttiumph over their delicacy---:bow they can'
put aside the fears natural to their., sex—and, torget-
ting that modest reserve which renders loveliness
still more lovely, thrust themselves unblushingly
forward to witness the last convulsive, agonies of a
fellow-creature, we know not ; but this we know,
that woman never looks so unatniable as when thus
occupied.

The VICE CHAMBEKLAIN, it seems., prohibited the
performance of the farce, at the Havinarket, called
Killing no Murder, and it is therefore to be repre-
sented under the title of Buskin and Belvi. •

On 'Sunday ni'ght; about eleven o'clock, Mr.

was very glad to see. On this Occasion he !request-

he relurned for Mr.Butterwot t I), in an hour. Du-
ring the time he'spent with Mr. Butterwolth, he
entered on religious conversation, and 1 pointed out
two or three plaCes iii Scripture, -which he ar-

more,- he should be in a better country than

" ten you any thing you wish to know." " Then,
did you or did you not, have some other person or

Perceval ; I do most .solemnly declare
there is not." " Pr-Ay, Sir, in what manner did you
procure these pistols " I bought them on Lud-
gate-hill, at Mr. Beckwitli's. Mr. Butttaworth
thanked Mtn, for this information, and went to
prayers. Mr. Bellingham thanked him for,.his good-
ness, and said, " I am going to write a letter to my
dear wife." Mr. Newman came• to the cell for
his friend, Mr. BOtterworth, and they parted.
He theta asked for a -crust of bread, and laid down
and slept.about.an hour ; put his hand in his poc-
ket and. gave, the last shilling, to Mr. Walker ; said
he wished it was a guinea for his kind a:tention :
he then lay down and continued dosing till a guar-

Twelve o'Clock.

" I last my suit solely through the improper can-
