We received thin morning Boston Papers to the
I9th ult. they state, that loud as the clamour is,
there will be no war.

BOSTON, JAN. 18.

" Mr. FOSTER'S carriage having been seen at Mr.
MONROE'S door has occasioned many crude ►eports
to be circulated—it is, however, stated, that Mr. F.
bas .requited an explanation on the, war talks end
preparations. I have not heard what the answer, if
ad y, has been."

We mentioned on Saturday that a letter had been
transmitted to Lords GREY and GRENVILLE, by
order of the ParNCE REGENT, expressive of his Royal
Highness's approbation of the condu& of his present
I\linisters, but at the same time stating, that, at this
arduous crisis, his Royal Highness wished to etfeet an
union of the leading men of all parties, upon liberal
and honourable principles. We do not undertake to
-state the terms of this letter, but we believe we have
given its substance. To this letter we are informed,
that the Noble Lords returned an answer to the PRINCE
REGENT, expressed in resperaful terms, but declin-
ing to form a part of an united Administration. This
refusal on the part of the Noble Lords does not, as
they declared in 1809, proceed from any person-
al feeling of hostility to Mr. PERCEVAL; but,
it is stated, that it proceeds from the very dif-
ferent views which they entertain of the policy of
this country from the present Ministers. We do.
riot wish to insinuate that the Noble Lords are ac-
tueted by a desire of arrogating to themselves ex-
clusive rower; we are willing to give them credit
for the principles which they profess, but, at
the same time, we must remind Gem, that
these pr -'fiples are peculiarly their own ; that
they mere not approved by his MAJESTY,- When
he was, in a state of mental health; that they
me not approyei by his Royal Highnes the PRINCE
REGENT ; that they never have received the sanction
of Parliament ; and that the l'eople are decidedly
hostile to them. It seems, therefore, that these
Noble Lords have, by the answer rebid) tl►ey are
Supposed to have given, irrevocably signed their own
exclusion from power. We are not able to state po-
s.rively whether this answer of Lords GRENVILLE
and GREY conveys the sentiments of the whole °fare
Party of which they were supposed to be the head, or
whether the Noble Lords speak merely for them-
selves. We do npt, however, think they speak the
language of the Party, because we know that seve-
ral of the Noblemen and Gentlemen who compose
it entertain opinions very different fro►im the Noble
Lords upon some very important points of policy.—
Upon the question of the war it: the Peninsula,
marked difference of opinion subsists; nay, there
fire some shades of variance even between the two
Noble Lords themselves, upon that point. Upon.
tLe subjea of our relations with America, their
differences are notorious, from what passed on
Mr. WHITBREAD'S motion.—On the Catholic
claims there is the same dsgree of discord
among them. Some are for a partial, some for
a total, concession to the Catholics; some agree
with Lord GRENVILLE last ye.le, that the grant of
the veto, and other securities for the establishments
of the State, ought to accompany or precede CoL-
gission ; and wale agree with Lord GLIZNVILIdi ihia

[milt

Vat., that the concession ougl►t to be made wit
any security at ail. Such being the state of the Party,
t. must nat►ylally conclude that the letterof the Noble
Lords, speaks only their own sentiments, and de-
clares only their own determinations. It is not ne-

cessary, however, to pursue this speculation : it is
sufficient to stare, what we before asserted; that the
present Administration possesses the confidence of
the PRINCE REGENT. Whether any slight changes
may take Place, we cannot undertake to say; but
we think it not improbable.
We cannot help observing here a curious di,tinc-
lion made by an Opposition Paper upon this occa-
sion : it states, that when his Royal Highness was
only a subjea, his personal opinions could be openly
avowed, blit that this is not the case now that he is
invested with Royal power. The objea of this dis-
tinEtion is obvious enough; but, surely, those who
have made it cannot have forgotten, that when his
Royal Highness was first inttested with the R-gency,
they told us that his Royal Highness had kept
his present Ministers in compliance with the known
wish of his Royal Father, but that he was determined
to try with how small a portion of Royal confidence
the Ministers could carry on the business of the State.
Such was the language of the Party last year; but
now, when his Royal Highness has expressed his
confidence in his present Ministers, all allusions to
the personal opinions of the REGENT are improper
and indecent.

We have heard since we wrote the above, from a
quarter in which we have reason to place great con-
fidence, that the communication from the PRINCE
REGENT was, as we before stated, in the form of a
letter to the Duke of YORK, who was desired to
convey the contents to Earl GREY, for that
Nobleman to impart to Lo'd GRENVILLE. The
letter expressed a high opinioo of Mr. PERCE-
VAL, but at the same time, it was the wish of his
Royal Highness to form a junetion between the
great political parties, for the tranquility of the
State. That in this gracious communication Earl
GREY seemed to be the person to whom the atten-
tion of the PRINCB was direeled, as he, and not
Lord GRENVILLE, was the person addressed. It
is said that this apparent preference has been a
subject of mortification to the latter, as• be con-
sidered himself, and thought he was considered
by all his political conneetions, as the head of the
Party. The immediate positive reje&ion of the
PRINCE'S gracious overture had induced theiPaiNce
to signify to Mr. PERCEVAL, that he now possessed

his entire confidence, and that he should look to him
for such arrangements as might tend to promote
personal convenience, and the honour and interests
of the Empire. Many of the friends of Lords
GREY and GRENVILLE is said, have already ex-
pressed much surprize and discontent at this hasty
and abrupt rejeaion of what might have led them
to power, alleging that those Noble Lords would
but have consulted the interests of themselves
and their Party, if they had solicited an interview
with the PRINCE, in order to be fully apprised of his
gracious sentiments and views, that they might fulfil,
if possible, his patriotic and laudable wishes to put an
end to all Party differences. The substance of the
PRINCE'S letter hasywe believe, been faithfully given
to the public, but certainly not the words in which it
was conTeyed, whatever some public Journalists may
affea to know. Upon the whole, no essential
changes are at alit kely to take place. Mr. PERCRVAL,
we are persuaded, has the full confidence of the
PRINCE, and will make such arrangements as the
welfare of the State may require. Hence, if
to-morrow is to be considered as the epocha of a
new reign, it commences under the most favourable
auspices, as the supreme authority will now be
vested in a PRINCE, who, on this occasion,
has shewn that he , is animated by the sin-
cerest desire to extinguish all party differences, in
order not only to promote national interests, but to
produce domestic tranquility, and who doubtless will
continue that system of measured" which has enabled
us to mailhtain a proud ascendancy amidst the hu-
miliation, the oppressions, and the errors, of all
surrounding States.

As the late rejection.of the Motion in the Cotamon
Council, for granting some pecuniary allowance for
the support of Dr. BELL'S System of Education,
seems to have excited much surprize as well as dis-
approbation, we repeat our hopes, that some of the
leading charadters in the City will interpose, and
bring the question again into discussion before that
Body. The charaSter of the City is, indeed, deeply
concerned in the subject, and it ought to strew, that
in matters relating to the security of our Establish-
meta in Church and State, the first City in the
world is superior to sei9arian and party influence.—
The LANCASTER system, as it is called, however
well calculated to diffuse instrutlion in reading,
writing, and arithmetic, is also very well calculated
to sap the foundation of the national faith ; but
granting that it had not such a baneful tendency, it
lends RQ ;support to the orthodox principles of our

Church; rind, lhereforo, it is ...nr!'rirnhent on tildse
who rit'e vested With publid tutholty, to use their
utmost endeavours to maintain and perpetuate those
principles. Nothing could be more narrow-minded,
not to dwell on essential points, than the refusal to
give pecuniary aid to Dr. BELL'S plan, as well as to
that of Mr. LANCASTER; for the system of the for-
, rner provides Education for those who are over-
looked,-or purposely negletied by the latter. It is
not to be supposed that parents, who are attached to
the national fail!), will suffer their children tb go to
schools where it is treated either as a mater of in-
difference, or where, indeed, tenets might be incul-
cated by no means conformable to that faith, and
such parents, of course, will eagerly resort to schools
founded upon Dr. BELL'S system, which are par-
ticularly
intendcd to support the principles of the
National Church. We therefore earnestly hope
that the Common Council will tread back their
steps, and Kiew that, as a Body, they are intlined to
support a motion, the rejeEtion of which was occa-
sioned by the efforts of persons who seem always
disposed to " fish in troubled waters," and who are
the strenuous advocates for Reforms that might lead
to consequences of the most ruhtous kind, even the
downfal of our Constitution though we are very
willing to believe that they are not influenced by
:lb), intention to produce such consequences, but
are too dull and short-sighted to profit by expe-
rience, and the obvious dielates of common sense
and common reflexion.

BUONAPARTE, with that pitiful rancour towards

this country, which renders his charailer as con-
temptible as it is odious and execrable for. the whole
of his condua,has ordered what he calls a " Petit
English Political Catechism," which he pretends was
translated from our language, to be inserted in The
Journal de l' tinpire of the 7th in4tant. The objed
of this despicable fabrication is to tax the British
Navy with injustice, robbery, and cowardice, in not
lighting till they have double the force of their ene-
my, and other charges false and malignant. This
is very bad policy in the Tyrant, for it would be
easy to retort his paltry malice by a NAPOLEON
CATECHISM, in which his whole life might be ex-
plored, and many of his enormities (it would be
impossible to discover all) might be recited, and
none of which he could deny. He might be asked,
how he has condualed himself towards France, to
which he swore to give a Republican Government ?
how to Venice, to Holland, to Prussia, &c. ? and
how he has observed the frith of treaties ? how he
treated the Royal Family of Spain, whom he had
found devoted to his interests ? what is his regard
to the rights of independent States, when he has
forced his brother upon Westphalia, and is sending
his unhappy subjects by millions to be destroyed
in Spain, in order to force anothey of his brothers
into the Government of that country; to say nothing
of his giving Naples to that ruffian MultAT,
The Catechism might also be dire Bed to his private
life, and he might be asked what regard he has
shewn to those ties of consanguinity, which peo-
ple in all countries hold sacred, when one brother
abdicated a kingdom to avoid his tyranny, and and
other has been obliged to take refuge in this coun-
try, lest death or perpetual imprisonment, might
await him, if he had remained on any part of the
Continent. In short, if BUONAPARTE is so foolish
as to like such kind of Catechisms as he has publish-
ed, in order to throw-discredit ou the British Navy,
which is the great barrier to all his ambitious and
wicked machinations, a string of queries might be
proposed to him which would prove him to be such
a prodigy of guilt of the deepest d; a as cannot be
paralleled in all that history has recorded.
