The Morning Herald of this day repeats the ac-
count of the expected arrival of the PRINCESS of
WALE!, with indeed a few more particulars, as
will be seen among our extracts from the Daily
Papers. It has, however, fallen into mistake in
stating, that there is a suit now pending in
Chancery respecting the Claims of her Royal
Highness upon the Estate of her brother, the late
Duke of BRUNSWICK, as the Bill was dismissed

under circumstances of a nature very un-
favourable to those Claims, and which seem
to warrant a conviction that they are never
likely to be renewed, or that any other Claims
will be advanced on similar grounds. It can,
therefore, he hardly. necessary for her Royal
Highness to return on that account, as she
can afford all requisite explanation by letter.
We are still of opin;on, for many reasons which
we do not deem it necessary or proper for us to
state at present, that notwithstanding all this
" note at heparation," Let Royal Highness

not likely to return, if she can obtain a pectin
14r1
supply abroad, which, if reasonable, will of course
be granted, but that the whole will be found, as
we before signified, a false Alarm.

There is a long Article in The British Press °r
*this day, the purpose of which is to shew that
Government and the Ministerial Papers give an
importance to the conduct of the Seditious ge.
formers far beyond necessity and the extent of
danger. Wishing to make a distinction between
the Opposition and the Jacobinical Journals, and
classing The British Press with the former, We ele
surprized, that while Whigs and Tories in genes;
seem disposed to forget their political differences'
in a common defence of the Constitution,that Pler
should treat the movements of the Reformers e°,
lightly, when it is evident that nothing short Di
Revolution is their object. Why has Boil be.
come so bitter au enemy of Sir FRANCIS Btil.
DETT, but because the Baronet has become 16°'
guid in the cause of the Reformers, haei4
property to lose, and being naturally or
prehensive that his property would be secgi'
fired amidst the general scramble of a Keyed
lotion, or perhaps be transferred to Mr. HUNT'
if the latter should retain his present P 0.4
polarity with the Mob. The Press admits, that
" the presence of- Mr. HUNT, in Manchester'
seemed to have made" a little holiday." All bast'
ness was suspended during the day; for those (vb.
were idly disposed went out to gaze at a rasawhose name bas become so universally know"
and the apprehension of some danger tO
duced those who would have been industrious, te'
shut up their shops anti join the multitude." If till°
was the case at Manchester, where a Inilitari
force is stationed, and where the Magistrates old
determined to do their duty, might not similar
consequences be expected wherever that reset°
Reformer, might bend his course ? Have not their
Rebel Reformers attempted an inroad tool( til4l
Constitution, by electing their own VII
mentary Representative, and have not some °
the Ruffians shot a Police Officer in the o'er'
cise of his duty ? Have not the Reform
iiii
Miscreants been regularly trained and disci.
plined to the use of arms ? Are not all these
circumstances sufficient to justify alarm, wbeti•
it is well known that the contagion of se'
ditious poison is likely to operate rapidly nlicgti
the lower classes of the State ? Yet The Pres:
says,,that " nothing can be more impolitic °EI-.
for the Government itself to trumpet
alarm, and the greatness and extent of the done!,
that encompass it." But do not the daage"
they
" trumpet forth" themselves ? Was (-
nothing alarming at Smithfield, if 'due preci
tions bad not been taken by Government 0,
the Magistracy to preserve the peace of the 16g;
tropolis ? Are we not threatened with sitni7i
dangers in southwfirk? Have we not wituessole
the horrible outrages of the Reformers at lYest.
Fair, who are certainly of the same descriPti°
with the followers and admirers of Mr. 'WI*
and who would, if they could once gain the Ili
cendancy, spread still more horrible outrages
forth 11/
id
over the Country ? And last, not le3s(h'icli
there not a Penny Subscription on foot, Igv,
it was said by the Promoters might he
or

wards of 200,0001. for ,the support at the kej

that another subscription shall take place, toof
der to provide a retaining fee to HUNT, ill 01: its
to defray his travelling expenses, and enable I) b,
to excite disorder, riot, and confusion throdgeog
out the Kingdom ? Surely, with ail (104.

FROM A CORRESPONDBNT.

PoRTSM'OUT/I, TITESDAY.—On Saturday last the PRINCE
REGENT, attended by a select party of friends, embarked in
Erb:Joon Roads on hoard the !loyal Yacht, cornmanded by
the Hon. Captain Paget, and sailed the same afternoon to
the Westward, under the escort of the Hyperion, the Hind,
the Canielion, and the Viper. Eariy on Sunday morning this
small squadron was descried, (rain our signal station, off St.
Helen's. On the turn of the title it continued its course,
down Channel, with a light breeze, and towards evening
came to au anchor off Cowes. During the greater part of the
day salutes were firing from the forts and men of war, as also
from the Castles along the Coast, which ceremonies were re-
peated in succession by the ships composing the convoy.—
Hi Royal Highness dined on board the Yacht bath days, and
was expected to pursue his voyage through the Needles yes-
terday, tiii his way to Plymouth, for the purpose of inspcsaitig
that stupendous undertaking, the Breakwater. About ten
o'clock, however, the Flotilla was again seen approaching to
Spithead, which was soon alinounced to the puttlic by fresh
salvos of artillery (ruin the batteries on land, and the vessels
at sea. After eruizing for a few hours at the wick of the isle
of Wight, this little Fleet once more hove in view, when the
firing from the Forts and ‘shipping was re-commenced with
such briskness and spirit as to convey iii inadequate idea of
an actual engagement. About 4 o'clock the Royal Staudard
was struck on hoard the Yacht. and preparations were made
for conducting the Prince lie.-relit to the snore. In ahato
an
hour his Royal Highness larded from his Barge at the King's
Stairs, under fresh interchanges of salutes, and immediately
proceeded, in a close carriage, to Sir George Campbell's. who
had the distinguished honour of entertaining him at dinner.
The yards of the several men of war at `pithead were mantled,
and as the Prince passed and re-passed, three hearty cheers
were give by their respective crews. The Works of the Gar-
rison were likewise maimed, when similar compliments were
also paid to the Regent on his stepping. ashore. The streets,
too, through which his Royal Highness bad to pass, were
lined with fro cps, and Guards of Honour were stationed to
receive and accompany our Illustrious Visitor to his place of
destination, which he reached amidst the shouts and accla-
mations of at numerous ossemlflage of all ranks. With his
accustomed affability this Prince Regent, soon after entering
the house of the Port Admiral, presented himself at one of
the front windows, where he was warmly buzzard. Here his
Royal Highness continued in cheerful conversation with his
gallant Host for a very considerable period. It can he scare •ly
necessary to add that the sincere greetings with which he was
incessantly hailed, were occasionally returned in the most
gracious manner. The Prince was dressed in a Naval Uni-
form. with Wi.iteTrowsers, and appeared to be in excellent
health. About ain the evening the Regent was conveyed
hack to his Yacht at Spithead. At an early hour this
morning he sailed again to the Westward,_ udder fresh
discharges of artillery, and is expected to go ashore
at Cowes, to dine with the Marquess Anglesea. Reports,
as usual, are busy in anticipating his movements, but they
are so much at variance with each other, as to prove that all
is conjecture on that score. It seems pretty certain, however,
that his Royal Highness's visit to Plymouth is for the present
altogether postponed, and that he intends sp. edify retnrn-
ing to the place whence he came. l'he Royal Standard was,
its the afternoon of yesterday, hoisted on our ramparts; and
the platform was crowded the wh ,he day, to an exteut, with
well-dressed persons of both sexes.; This, with the fineness
of the weather, and the number of pleasate boats that were
upon the water, had an imposing effect, Which was in a
great degree heightened by the ringing of hells and firing of
guns, and the music of military bands; but, above all, by
the unfeigned joy and delight that beamed in the coun-
tenances of the company who had collected to witness and
welcome the presence of their Prince. An illumination at
night added to the gaiety of the town, which to a late hour
was paraded by a vasteoncoursa, of people, whose objects
were directed to the manifestation of their loyalty. No small
portion of adventitious splendour was conferred on this spec-
tacle, by the appropriate at rival of the Tartar, the Phse;tin,
and the' Blossom frigates, front foreign stations, wh.ch, with
a Russian man of war, filled up the past scenes with won-
derful efficiency.
