To THE ;MARQUIS OF TANS7'OCK, &c.

toRD,

I was forcibly struck this merninz, with an Ad-
vertisement to the Newspaper's, uotier the specious
title of " Frit:n(lsot Religious Liberty," announcing
the intertrron of certtrn individuals, COLll)Ucied with
few of the Irish Nobility, to giVe a dinner 041 the
Bth instant to " the. De/ego/es who , had .betrt ap-
pointed by the Catholics n(ireitivi to present an
" Address to his Royal
.Highness the PRINCE RE-
r" GENT," and evidently brought forward at it:e pre-
sent moment with a View to brig; about a coalition
between' Poplins, Dissenters, and Methodists ;
but as this,ts,the first initanco,in which I have ob-
served " Religious Liberty'. attempted to be assimi-
lated to the priucip)es of the Church of Roine, I
am induced to request your Lordship's attention to
a few extract; tram a book, which is generally un-
derstood to have been publi7bed under the auspices
of your illustrious House : I tni an " the Letters
"of Lady "RAC'HAEL RUSSELL, from the manuscript
" in the Library at Woburn Abbey ; to which are
• P
" prefixed an Introdudion, vindicating the charac,.
" tor of Lord flussst4. against SIOOIIN DALRYMPLE,
And the Trial of Lord WILLIAM RUESELL for High
" Treason."

The accounts received this morning reapeding
his MAJESTY, We rejoice to hear, are of a'veri fa-
vourable nature.

The following articles arc taken from New-York

Papers of a late dare :
" A letter from Washington, from an accurate
source, states, that JOEL BARLOW is not going to
France as Minister; ior, says the letter, Mr. MAD!.
sot: says ir the French haVe behaved so badly, that
he wilt not send a Minister there.'
" Tl is also stated, and we believe it, that Mr.
Ito:pout! is going to England, as. Minister Fleni-
potentiary,, in the room of -Mr. PrNCKNEY.
Rumour.--It has been rumoured through the
mornings that Sons RANDOLPII had been-, or was
about
.to be, .appointed to succeed,Mr. PINCKNRY as

to a letter receired this morning, from'high authority
at Washiugton, which contains this question,
Would you not
,be surprised to hear. that the
Hen.,Sons RANDOLPH may be our next Minister to
the Court of St. James's Com: Ad.

I should not have presnmed to have thus pub-
licly addressed you on this subjeel, had I not ob-
served the names of your Lordship, and some other,
individuals attached to. your family, mentioned as
Stewards on this occasion, I shall not, hotieveri,
at present intrude on the columns of the Pai4r in
which this Arkid is inserted, by eoninienting at
length on the subjea, but wryly express the sup
rise I feel,, io eommon with many others, at the
seeming abaodonment of the principles AvhiCh.gave
importance and lustre to the- House of Roseau. ;
and content myself' by seleaing, for your Lordship's
consideration, a few passages from Lord Wm-
-1,101 iIUSSW.L.Vo Address to the Sheriffs of Lon-
don and Middlesex, before his execution, in Liu-

been received from that capital dated the loth of

freedom, feeling, and jungtrierit, in thp part of

of all intelligent' eritics.—Mrs. C. KEM/31.11 was to
have performed Beatrice, but on account of the de-
licate stale of her health, it wasassigned to Mrs.
H. JOHNSTON, -who 'certainly did noi'rise up to the
intellectual shrewdness of the charatier, and was in
genera) much too Wane- MUNI:MN was admirable

eclat.
