1351,11,,rd, whose aunt:: .exertion t could not place
the supper on the table befrire the hour already
appointed for setting off.
" All this, however, his Majesty bore with his
characteristic good-humour ; au,d the princesses
!laving dieovervd a young latniiord about
.three
moots old, a remarkably tilte it had the ho-
nour-or being presented to their IV!ljeSties„ who
received it with the most gracious at4iniration and
coudescension, though without exciting any atu•
ibitions hopes in the bosom of fte new courtier,
whatever might have been the hopes of the pa-
rt WS.

" The important business of sapper being dis-
patched (for Kings and Queens must eat as well,
ot happy it they cam tin it as well, as the lowliest
of their subjects), the cav►tkade started for
Drucheslee, where they were met by a party of
the :German Legion, and a &rue-hi:rent of the
Fifteenth Light Dragoons, with the command—
iog Of of which his Majesty conversed
freely in Getman whilst the horses were chang-
ing ; snd at five in the morning th,y strived
at Weymouth, where they were received with
the most loyal acclamations of all the good peo.
pie of the place ; after which the Royal Party
'retired to rest; as no doubt also did many of their
loydl shbiec±s, some of whom perhaps lay longer
titan his Majesty, for he was on the Esplanade as
usual, soon after seven o'clock ; and immediately
aftet •hteakfast mounted his horse to inspect the
Hanoverian Legion, then in barracks, as he did
the German Legion in the afternoon .; together
with the Weymoudi Volunteers and Somerset-
shire Militia, who went through their evolo-
(loos in the front of Gloucester Lodge, where

the Qiteen and Princesses stood at the windows
to enjoy the scene, and liven to the mili-
tary airs performed by the different bandit of
tnasic.

" Through the whole of this scene his Ma-
jesty seemed highly pleased ; he convers-
ed freely with the Offieets of the dit-
ft'reot corps, and with those of- the royed
yacht and ships in the bay, which soon
atter fired a Royal Salute, when the King spoke
most condescendingly to those around hint, of all
ranks, telling th,in to depend upon the wooden
walls of old England.

"'the King had not been long at Weymouth,
when it wls plainly perceived that the pure air of
the sea-coast had produced a visible effect upon
his health, so that there was not the least doubt

_ .
that a few weeks would restore him to perfect
convalescence. Even then his spirits were ex-
; and he never appeared out of doors with-
out continuing to endear himself to every class of
his subjects, by 'he greatest affability and conde-

'ee•nsion ; eouversiug with the tanner on agri-
culture, with the soldier on military duties, with

the sailor on the hostile pi eparacions for invasion,
and his reliance on the skill and bravery of the

to the latter service than on any former occasion;
and which he illustrated in a very apt and happy
manner on one occasion, wren going on board
the yacht, and hearing an attendant caution an

sical instrument, be instantly turned totem!, and
exclaimed, Ott ! there is no occasion for that
caution : every thing is safe in the hands of a
British seaman? "

Mr. Serjeant PELL prayed the judgment of the
Court against these defendants, six in number,
for a riot and assault at Bridgewater, of which
they were convicted at the last assizes for the
County of Somerset, before Mr. Justice Rut rough.
The transaction arose out of hosti!itl towards a

before Justices of the Peace against Robert
Walters, for an offence against the Excise Laws,
of which he was•convicted; and adjudged to pay
a fine of 201 —Affidavits were put in in mitigation
of punishment, urging the poverty and contrition
of the defendants.

KING AND CONSTITUTION CLUI3, SUNDERLAND.-
A Society, wider int denninioation, has
lately been formed at Sunderland. It cnosisii of
the maiotity of the respectable inhabitants of that
rawn, who have uoi ed themselves without Huy
reference to vary spirit, for the sole purpose of
upholding the Constitution of the State, as by lett
established. Monday kit being the day fixed for,
the eelebration of his MajcSil's Ilirtn-drty, the
Members 'of the Club dined togeiht.r, io honour of

the occasion, at Kay's; the Goidelt Lion

At. 4 o'clvekabout Members sat down

::0 a most elegant. repast. On the removal or the
•-cloth, the President, Sir Cuthbert Sharp, address-
ed the Mectitig. lie congratulated -the Club on,
steitrg so Iftt ge an as3embly•of-its Members on
Ibk. their first meeting. %V Web' 'proved • that the
principle of the 'Climb met with the decided appro-
bation of the respectable inhabita!sts of the town
and neighbouthood., lie alluded to, the
.sorrow. which the demise of the 1,4,te King callett
fOrth front -Iris subje,:is, proving *the estimation in
which- that revered Monarch was hel:l by the us—

;ion. He next euldgized the condurt of his pre..
*eat Majesfy, who, on cotnif,g into,power, blot
found Europe enslaved under the dominion of a
remorseless tyrant ; but by the ‘visdorn of his
councitt-, and the valour of • his fleets and armies,
he had given peace to Europe, and freedom to
mankind. The President then gave " His Ma-
jesty King .George 1V.," which wrs drank with
four times four:jam{ the most rapturous appkuse.

" (iod save tie King;!' wa.s:then. exquisitely snug
by two of the Me►ubeis, awl the whole cotypatly
joined chorus. _ _

The next Toasts were, " The Royal Family,"
"_The 'House of Brunswick, and may they never

forget the principles. which placed them on the
Throne," with three times three,—" Tile Duke
of York and the Army,—" The Duke of Clarence
and the Nary,"—" The land tve live in."—The
President then prefaced with wine appropriate ob-
servations, " Our glorious Constitution, the pride
of Britons, and the admiration •of the W01141:'-
The next toast which proceeded.from the Chair,
was the " Trial by Jury," which was introduced
by the President as a toast which had lately been
abandoned by those dabblers in `edition and Tree-
aoo, who but for the salutary influence of a Trial
by Jury, might ere this have destroyed every va-
luable institution in the Country and deluged
the land in the blood of its best citizens. At no
former period of our V.istory, he said, had the deci-
sions of Juries been of more importance, or more
satisfactory to the loyalty and good feeling; of the
country, than at the present time. This toast was
drank with thunders of applause, and countless
cheers. The next toast was " the Magistrarl of the
County of Durham, and Mr. Hopper's (ot Hen•
don) good health." Mr. Hopper returned thanks,
and assured the Club, that it would afford bun
pleasure at all times, whethevin his official situa-
tion, or as a private individual., to render service
to the town at Sunderland ; he concluded by pro.

posing the healai of the President, witch was
drank with universal applause. The Ptesident

returned thanks in neat and appropriate terms.—
In prefacing the toast to " The independence of
the County of Durham," the Chair man said,
without any allusion to recent events, he hoped
that when they should he again called upon to
give their suffrages, they might be solicited by in-
dependent men, and that they would give their
conscientious voices to establish and maintain the
independence of the County. The next toast
trom the Chair was "The Members of the County
of Durham," with 3 times 3. Before the an-
nouncement of this toast the President said, that
whatever sentiments and opinions the Members of
the Club might individually entertain as to the most
proper persons to represent the Comity, yet, when.
the Representteives were once elected, they were
no" onger private individuals, they then became
component parts of the Constitution, and as suck
in the fulfilment cola public and important station.
they were entitled to our tespect. The Vice.
President then proposed the health of " The
Members of the City of Durham," adding that
one of these Gentlemen (Sir Henry Hardinge)
was also a member of the King and Constitution
Club. Sevetal other toasts were then proposed
by different Gentlemen present ; and in the course
of the evening several excellent songs conitibitted
to the hartirony of the meeting. " Canny New-
castle," by Mr. Hunable, was received with tit.
mutinous applause. The President took the op.
poi-tunny in returning thanks for the song, to
propose the health of Mr. Humble, as the Eduor
of a loyal, independent, and con,titutional Jour-
nal (the Durham County Advertiser) whose I'a-
per had never been polluted with the eflnsions of
private slander. The toast was drunk with three
times three.
Mr. Flusinc.g, in returning thanks for the boa
now conleried upon him by the Club, said, that the
expression of their approval of his public conduct,
was to hint peculiarly gratifying. The only 'Atoll,
which he could then mrtke for their kindness, was
to give them an assurance chat the press under his
direction, should at all times be t inployed in ad•
vocating those loyal and Constimtional principles
which had led to the formation, and composed
the basis of that Club.
Never did a public Meeting pass over with
greater harmony thou that which we have at-
tempted to describe. All was mirth and enthu-
siastic loyalty, which was not a Hide heightened
• by the exertions, urbanity, and ability of the
Chairman. Letters were rears to the Meeting
from Sir Henry Hardinge and Rowland Bardon,
Esquire, expressive of their regret at not being
able on the present occasion to attend the Meet-
. ing of - the Club. 1- he company did ill, separate
. until a late hour.

FOY, THE SUN.

MR. EDIToR—Ou the trial of the Cato•street

C.Arspirdtors the Counsel for the Crown very
properly observed, that the folly and seeming
insignificance of the plot were not to be urged
in extenuation of guilt, or ridiculed as inadequate
to effect the overthrow of the Constitution. In
the " Histo'ry of the ‘Var," by DUNOYER, publish-
ed in .Paris about fourteen years ago, there is a
letter ascribed to the ill-fated Monarch, Louts
XVI. which entirely corroborates the opinion of
the Learned Gentleman alluded to. The letter in
question was written to M.'NBCKER as an invita-
tion to him to resume the reins of administration,
and the circumstance therein mentioned had
evidently made a deep impression on the King's
mind, As the work was almost instantly sup-
pressed by NAPOLEON, and very few copies of it
bad gone abroad, the following translation of the
letter may not be without interest.
" I have said a great deal to induce you to re-
turn, but I will .use only one more argument, and
that shall be by relating to you a fact which has
given me much uneasiness. You know the wil-
derness in the Pdrk,* where we have frequently
exchanged notes f. I was reading a new treatise
on Navigation, when something suddenly startled
me—an ill dressed man thrust a paper into Jey
band, and disappeared instantly—the paper had
only these words, Louis, watch over the safety
of your Ministers and recal man,
who had clandestinely entered the Park, was de-
tected on leaving it, and I saw him as I, returned
to the chateau—l ordered blip .ao.my presence
and peremptorily commanded hire to explain him-
He Communicated a plot for destroy-
ing my Ministers, and exciting a general revolt.
They were to be killed when sitting in Council,
but I was to be spate(' ; when destroyed and
shown to the people, Versailles was to have been
set on fire in two or three places as a signal to
the conspirators in Paris to begin their operations
—wheu I found that only 40 persons of the lowest
description were in the secret, I laughed at the
folly of the affair but the man made a reply that
shocked me, Sire, said be, if my wife had not learn-
ed the secret, and forced me to reveal it to you, all
France would have been shaken. When we should
have entered the Council Room and destroyed the
Ministers, as would have been the case, for we
had master-keys of the Palace, the Revolution
would have been begun. In Paris, several thou-
sand of the unemployed poor would have filled the
streets from curiosity, and soon have joined in the
tumult, which our emissaries would have caused.
Others., thinking the mischief still greater, and
terrified by the plunder of the mob and the burn-
ing of whole streets, would have flown to us for
protection. As to the Military, we had laid our
plan to break open the wine-cellars, and drive in
the heads of the casks in the streets This
would have diverted their attention. In the Pro-

scit.

vinces we were certain of co-operation, for at
least a million are unemployed, and want a
change ; twice as many are free-thinkers and
would assist us for the destruction of religion.
These only waited for a signal from the Capital,
to begin the revolution. NVe bad neither arms nor
money, but there were both in Paris, and a snob
ready to seize them, when set on, by the ring-
leaders. This reasoning did not convince me that
the plan was not badly conceived ; but every post
Las brought intelligence, that the disaffected in
the Provinces were taught, by emissaries from
Paris, to expect something, and to bEready. My
Ministers tell me it would not be prudent to ap-
prehend these conspirators ;—come and give me
your advice quickly." DUNOYER, who pledges
himself for the authenticity of this letter, asserts
that of the Council of Five Hundred, thirteen
Members had been concerned •in the plot men-
tioned by the unfortunate Lours.

I am, Sir,

Your very obedient Servant,
G. M.

• This letter has no date, but it was evidently written at
Versailles, for the King seldom passed a day in which be did
not visit the wilderness, which may still be seen in the Gar-
dens of the Chateau.

t The French expression is "noire echange." This can
to his well-known custom of giving written ob-
servations to Necker, who did the same to the King,—and,
on the following day they compared them together, and of-
fered remarks upon them.

T. If the conduct of soldiers in other countries generally,
and p_lrticularly at Cadiz, on a recent occasion, could be
taker. as a proof of wit iniebt be expected here, such a
scheme as this would have more of success than failure; but
I will bear I estituuDy to the good conduct of British troops in
every instance where the otticers have a full controul over their
-.men. This does not always happen, and it could not happen
in streets crowded with a licentious multitude. Regular
troops are not the eonstituticnal body for suppressing civil
commotion. The employment of the Yeomanry and.ot her Vo-
luntecr Corps is more consonant with English feeling—there
is fI J danger of their being scdoccd by intoxication.
The French is Esprits Keratry, one of the
French Deputiis, gives to the term the fol!owirii: dcflnitio
