.1-larpburgb and Altona Papers to the 27th ult.
have reached town : their contents are not very im-
portant, but they are rather-Calculated to strengthen
the report of a coolness S,..bsisting between Russia
and France. The former Court seems at length to.
have. opened its eyes to the danger as. well as the
folly of ruining its own„subjek-is to gratify theim-
plaCable malignity, and promote the ambitious pro
jean Of BiJONAPARTE! ,

The Princeo AMELIA, by the ' account of this,
morning, was not in such immediate danger as the
various reports have stated ; , we feat, however, that
there is. very little room for hope.- It is not possible
to do justice to the patience, •fortitude,•and resigaa-
ti-rin which have uniformly marked the conduct, of
this amiable Princess, as well. as her filial ten-
derness. puling_ same very threatening symptoms
•
on Friday list, her chief solicitude seemed to relate
to his MAJE,Ty, and her repeated requests sere,
that the rest of the family should not so -much at-
tend to her, as endeavour to give comfort to her af-1
flirted Father, His MAJESTY, we are assured, has
borne the w hole of this painful trial wiih the pious
submission to the divine will which has always
marked his charaaer.

An Opposition Paper made some exlraas-on Satur-
day from the Report of the Sele& Committee on Sine-
cure Places ; if those extracts were made for the
purpose of proving that there .were such things as
Sinecure Places, they were quite unnecessary, because
it never was for a moment denied. that there were
Sinecures ; but it was contended that it .was neces.
sary -that .1 hose places .should exist for the purpose of
rewarding merit and long public services: Even
Mr. BANKS, and those who were most anxious for
the abolition of Sinecure Places, admitted the 'pro-
priety of substiquing pensions in' their room. We
are rather inclined to believe, however, • that the
extratis were made for the purpose of a sneer against
the persons who were described as holdiug offices
of that description. Some of the Readers-of the Pa-
per in question may possibly have enjoyed the joke,
but Others, such, for instance, as the Marquis of
BUCKINGHAM, Lord GRENVILLE, Mr. T. GREN-
VILLE, the 'Hon. Mr. ADDINGTON, &C; tire. would
not, we should think,.be highly entertained with it.
When the Editor of the Paper ih quest ion was so ex-
trethely facetious upon the
." nothing to do gentle-
men," he should 'have informed his readers what are
the duties performed by the Teller of the-Exchequer,
the Auditor of the Exchequer, the Citief Justice
in Eyre South 'of Trent, the Cleat of the Pellit, &c.
We are far from insinuating that these places were
not properly bestowed ; we wish merely to 'caution
our Opponent not to indulge his wit in attacks which
may be so easily retorted upon his own friends.

The various reports that have been circulated re-
speiaing the Princess AMELIA, have originated; we
are persuaded, from her Royal Highness being fre-
quently in such ilow state that she could not be
perceived to breathe, and hence arose, no doilbC,
the reports that life was extinct. This was the case
on Saturday morning throughout Windsor. These
unpleasant statements would have been avoided, if a
public Bulletin had been issued. The Princess, we
lament to say, iir additiou to her ori,;inal complaint,
has lately been afflided with St. Anthony's Fire.—
On •Friday morning the'Doaors communicated the
awful intelligence to the XING, that they had no
hopes of the Princess surviving, which 'affected his
MAJESTY very much.

The Prince's and Royal.DUkes' servants conic two
or three times a-day, express, with accounts to the
Royal Family's particular friends, of the state of
.her
Royal Highness. The substance of accounts yes-•
terday was, that her Royal Highness had an hour
and a half's sleep on Friday night, an ,hour's .sleep
on Saturday night, but she did not appear any het-
ter for it, her disorder continuing in its full force.
The Royal Family were in a very gloomy state, no
hopes being entertained of the recovery of the Prin-
cess. Doctors Sir H. HALFORD, BAILIE, DUNDAS,
and PorE, are in constant attendance upon her.
The Prince and all the Royal Dukes remain at
Windsor, in consequence of the alarming situation
of their Royal Sister's health.

The holidays in the Stamp'Office department are,
after Wednesday next, to be reduced from about 50
to 10 only in the year.
