The Opposition, Papers, and partiodarly the
Moknini Chronicle, lay • great stress upon Lord
GRBY'S observations upon what Dr. Husaamw
stated respecting the state of h*MAJESTY'S health'
from the 12th of February td the 23,d of Alnl, in
the year 1804, and accuse the• Loan CnAtwELLant
of.,having acted unde'r the sanction of his MAJESTY
at a time when his MAJESTY WES incapable of ex-
ercising a proper authority. But it shoUld be observ-
ed, that
,Dr. lIEBERDEN recently declared that he had
very little experience as to the malady in question,
and his experience must certainly have been much
less at the period referred to ; and that the' opi-
niOn on which Lord GREY so strongly d ponds,
was the opinion of a single individual ; an individual,
too- who, by his own acknowledgment, was little
conversant with the case in point.--The Leon
CIIANCELLOR, and the other Noble Lords who acted
with him at the time, and who resolutely came for-
ward to share, n his responsibility, were better ac-
qualified with the temper and habits of his MAJESTY
titan Dr. HEButiDEN could possibly ; and it should
be observed, also that
.no othtr Physician has given a
similar opinion. We conceive that the public will
consider this revival of whdt took place so lor,g
,ago, as an ingenious effort of Party to draw a,A ay
attention from tile present state of things, and that
the Opposition writers are so mortified at finding ,
/their friends are disappointed in the hiipe of rush-
ing at once into power, and enjoying it without con-
troul, as to' lay hold of every tidng with great
eagerness that may. tend to bring distrust upon Its
MAJESTY'S Ministers, for their firm stand in delenre
of the privileges of the KING, and for upholding
the safeguards 01 our exceiltnt Constitution. •

It has been stated in some of the Opposition Pa-
pers, that our army in Portugal is sickly, And that
it has been distressed for want ofpruviiions. Tu both
of these assertions we can undertake to give a direit.
contrad'ction. The army is not sickly ; on the con-
trary?, it enjoys, generally speaking, perfect heal. 4.
In. so large an army it would be absurd to sup-
pose tint there must be sump S'Llk j there would,
be many even if the army, was in quarters in
England ; 'and the ritiguea of aaive service must, to
a certain degree, ilit.lC,lol' the numh,r. With re.
Arica to provisions, we can safely state, that the ma.
gazines of the alloy 'abOndatoly supplied, and

that a great number of ships had arrived at Lisbon
laden with corn.

Devranshire house, in Piccadilly, was opened to
the Fashionable World on Monday night, for the
first tittle this season, with a Concert of vocal and
instrumental trIUSIC, and a supper. Thus ii appears,
that her Grace has taken the lead of the Marchio-
ness of SALI6EURY, whose parties, fur many years,
had precedence in the haul ton, The mu-,ic, prin-
cipally the composition of Mr, FERHARI.
This was. its first introduction, and we may add,
that it met with unqnalified approbation. Madame
CATALANI end Lady 'HAMILTON sung several duets
with uncommon tarre and expression. This de-
lightful -treat commenced at the hour of ten, and
concluded at one o'clock. The great hall or saloon
was the concert-room. The company sat down to
a most sumptuous banquet, set out in the principal
drawing-rooMs, about two otelock m the morn-
ing. There were ttg covers, arranged on different
tables ; a magnificent display of plate and china ap-
peared. In the desert were to be seen the choicest
fruits of the season, and great profusion of confec-
tionery. The party did not bleak up until lout
'o'clock.
