TEIE PRINCb•NS CHARLOTTE.

CLAREMONT, TUESDAY, Nov. 4.—At a la►e hour
last night the Princess CHARLOTTE becathe
itillis-
posed, and at three o'clock Doctor Sir Richard
Croft pronounced the near approach of her Royal
Highness's accouchenzent. A number of servants
who have been for some time kept in close attend-
ance in their riding dresses, and their horses, in
readiness for them to mount, were, in conse-
quence, dispatched at a quarter past three o'clock,

in various directions, to summon the different
Privy Counsellors, who were, according to Court
etiquette, to attend. Dr. Baillie was also sent
for, to give his advice if necessary.

Directions were given to the messengers to
wake all possible speed, which they strictly at-
tended to, and those who went to London, which
is 16 miles from Claremont, reached town in an
hour and a quarter. The footman even went to
the Lord Chancellor's, in Bedford-square.
The first of the Privy Counsellors twit) arrived
.was Earl Bathurst, who came from his seat at
Putney, where the Noble Earl had kept his- car-
riage and horses in readiness to put to for some
time past. The footman went to Putney and re-
turned in furry minutes ; and Earl Bathurst ar-
rived at a quartet past five o'clock.
Viscount 6idmouth, who had also made every
necessary preparation to be present at a short no-
tice, arrived tram Richmond Perk at a quarter
before six.

The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop
of London arrived in the Bishop of London's car-
riage and four, from Folhant, at six o'clock.

The Archbishop of Canterbury had been wait-
ing on a visit to the Bisimr of London, during the
last three weeks, in expectation of being souk-
mooed to attend the Royal accouchement. Fulhant
being so many miles nearer to Claremont than the
residence of his Grace. The Chancellor or the
Exchequer arrived in a chariot and.foor from his
house iu Downing-street, at halt-psst seven
o'clock. The Lord Chancellor arrived in a chaise
and tour at a quar►er betore eight, from his house
in Bedford-square. Dr. .Bacllie anivcd in his
chariot and tour, at a.qoarter past seven o'clock,
from his house at Virginia Wearers.
Prince Leopold has passed the day in the greatest
anxiety in the house, as well as all the Royal at-
tendants and domestics, with the State Officers
and others in attendance. In the neighbouring
towns and villages the most lively interest hasbeeu
excited, and the most earnest inquiries have been
made during tl►e day. The travellers through Ether
have generally stopped to make their respectful
inquiries ; the Bear Inn, where most of the stage
coaches stop, has been thronged ; the first and
principal object of their inquiry was the welfare
ef the Princess. At Kingston, though only five
miles froal Claremont, it was falsely rumoured
and believed, early in the morning, that the Prin-
cess had been safely delivered of a son, and the:,
inhabitants were so elated on the occasion, that
the bell, were about to be set a ringing, and pre-
parations were made for illuminating to-night.
lhe Mayor, however, ..prudently interfered, and
prevented the hoeing of the bells fill he received
a confirmation of the joyful event from atithority,
and dispatched the High Constable (or that pur-
pose, on whose arrival at Claremont, and making
the necessary enquiry, be was informed the
wished-for event bad not taken place.

Richard Croft to the Privy Counsellors assembled
upon the occasion was, the progress of her
Royal Highness the I?.rince%s CHARLOTTE'S 61111CSS

sibly wish."

Enrr Aloe!), very much are the
Reittler; of yOi.'r Public-spirited i'spe; indebted tO
:Fan. correspondent It. S. A. for his welt-wr'itten
Letter respecting .the hi.ANDs .; he di•co-
vers every sentence the generous feelings of Inc
Country. His Letter firrtns a focus f4Or die Sum's
(ayg to sit most iinterestioK spot, Albania,
in the Adriatic. We feel very sensibly his deSerip-
(ion of the sufferings of the lir,tire Pa 1(60TE1; whose
defence Of their tits, would haVe done honour to
Britain ; we feel allitnated at his descrip'titin of
the 'Keyt,-, having been -surrendered tti the Kri'tish
Officer;, and still more that the British Union
shoUld have waved from its walls. After this;
eau it be posSible to suppose, frira that
those brave Citiiens. are to be left unprotected- j
left to a merciless Tyrant—lett to certain de-
struction ? Can it be possible that where the
British Union fiai bcei; hoisted to PROTECT j

CHRISTIANS, that it is to he struck; and those in-
teresting
characters left to their fate and all
Through a policy 'replete with weaknessand, in
this case, as illlbCalre 33 tli2t Jn the tithe Of'JAMES
the First.

Let the British Union be struck, and there will
be found a painful Sentence written across the
United crosses of St. George, St. Andrew, and
St. Patrick—" The AnnialMann of Parga." Ex-
chisiie of inch a painful resnit—exclusive of our
finest feelings being Outraged fiy such an occur-
rence—do we not know, or have we yet to learn,
the pains taking by several Powers to possess
Harbours in the Mediterranean ? Are we to be
told that ODESSA, a pOrt riot discernable 25 years
since, has now 400 sail of ships at a time lying in
its hat bour; that the Dardanelles and Sea of
Marutora are only a highway and a trodolen
course for the Aggrandizement OF THOSE who are
determined to possess " Ships, Colonies,, and
Commerce ?" Are we lobe told that a Maritime
Nation like ourselves, where every man ought to
be web-footed to float, (ight not to be too parsi-
monious towards OUR NAVY ? Can it he possible
that money can be better expended titan in a
laudable provision for such a true source of na-
tional defence ?—Can Britons have too much line
of Coast ? Can so interesting a spot as PAttoos,
upon all and every consideration, be neglected ?
Look at the map—see its situation—study its
geography, its affinity to a most animating sce-,r
eery, and we lutist acknowledge that our National
Honour, as well as our National Interest, unite in
calling upon us to preserve it from the rapacity,
and. front the cruelty, of its dreadful neighbours.

" A LONGSHOREMAN."

FRENCH CONGENIALITY.

FOR THE SUN.

MR. EDITOR,—I-Faving lately retnrned from a
Continental Tour of several months. I am in-
duced to state to you a circumstance, which tends
to spew a strong probability that the late attempts
of the Revolutionary Faction in England were
not without the knowledge and support of those
who aim at producing confusion in France.—
About a month ago, as I was crossing the Place
de Carousel from the Thuil'cries, in company
with an Englishman who had resided many years
in Palk, we passed a tall shabby-genteel loviiiing
man, whom lily companion wished me to notice;
when he had passed, I was told that this man
(whose name was mentioned) hail, with 20 or 30
other Englishmen, appeared in Paris immediately
after the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act,
and that. the universal opinion was, that these
persons were some of those who had been engaged
in the recent conspiracies in England, and were
compelled to escape from this country. He said
they were mostly of the lower classes of society,
chiefly inferior tradesmen and jonrneymen me-
chanics ; that after staying some weeks, they
had disappeared, with the exception of the man
whom we met, and a few others. He added that
they had improved much in their condi,ion after
their arrival in Paris, and he was satisfied, from
appearances, they were supported by some per-
sons itt that city. Now, Sir, it is well nederstood
in France, indeed the late eiectiols have proved
it to be true, that theJAcoßts; or RIVOLUTIoNARY
johrty have joined the PARTISANS of BUONAPARTE,
for the purpose of what they call promoting " the
glory of France ;" this is their cant phrase, de-
noting, that as long as the Boum:tont Dynasty is
on the throne, no system of plunder, war, and
desolation can he expected to take place ; and
they know that so long as THE ALLIES adhere to
their present plan of keeping a formidable army
on the French frontiers, so long their projects
cannot he effected. It therefore appears to me,
front all I heard and saw, that they arc connected
with their Co-Patriots in England, and are de-
sirous to bring.abont'a Revolution there, whereby
THE Sow_ of rite Continental Confederacy will be
materially weakened or nestroyel, and- the ava-
rice, a,obition, and revenge of the Reformers mid
Liberules. on both skies of he water,-promoted.
London, Nov. 1, 1817. NESTOR.

It is commonly said., by foreigners, that in the
gloomy month November the English have.a
peculiar fancy. for hanging or drowning. them-
selves. Whether this is really the fact or not, tee
do not intend to give an opinion ; we can only
say, that it is very evident such is not the case at
present. This exception (if it is one) l►erhatps
►►rises frinn a better prospect ut affairs, or from
other causes,. such as the Drawing of the Lot.
tery, which commences on FRIDAY NEXT, arid
contains no less than SIX Prizes of 20,0001.
a circumstance exhilarating to the spirits o!-
those who have adventured' in a Lottery which
also possesses nearly
.3,000 more Prizes than.
