4, An honourable peace is the more desirable

to us now, as, having made a fair experiment of the
efficiency of a navy in defending our commercial
and maritime rights, a few years of repose and pros-
perity will enable us to increase it to an extent capa-
ble of bidding defiance to the hostility of England,
and of causing our claims on all occasions to be re-
spected."

from our Plymouth Correspondent s

" PLYMOUTH, IDLY IF.

" This morning a Russian vessel passed tl,;s Ih:it
from Boston ; she sailed on the 23d ult. in cortip4ny
with another Russian vessel, both in ballast. By a
Gentleman landed here from her we learn, that the
latest news from Europe, via Halifax, had caused
great rejoicings in the Eastern States. At Boston
the Town-house had been illuminated, and much
railing and clamour against the President for bad
policy. In return, the Government were using their
best endeavours to convince the Citizens that they
were suing for and desirous to obtain a Peace. An
Address or Petition from part of Virginia, suggest-
ing the propriety of Mr. MADISIN'S resigning (not
having been able to have 'things according to his
wishes), had been presented. • All the American
Navy (except the Wasp and a brig) were laid up,
444 the crews turned over to the Lakes, which ap. • •.t I

peered to be their chief concern. A isle regal* I.
had been launched on the Lakes. Sir JAM= Yj
had left Sacket's Harbour, and returned to Icingston,
from indisposition : in his absence part of Comma.
dore Crintracay's squldron had got to Sea, but re.
turned again.
The Independence of 90 guns, has been launched

frigate, to be commanded by. Commodore Rooccoa,
was ordered to be launched immediately at Phila-
delphia'; a 90-gun ship was also ordered to be
launched at Portsmouth.

" His Majesty's ship GOLIAH boarded the Russian
two days after being at sea, and the Officer deprived
our informant of some newspapers, so that the pre.
ceding is only from recollection. His Majesty's ship
FIHIASANT was spoken with a few days ago in the
Channel, and yesterday a navy transport from Hali-
fax. A French chasse maree has this day arrived
with 57 persons, late from his Majesty's ship R raN.
nun, which were carried into L'Orient in the Wasp
American sloop of war. The Wasp is refitting at
L'Orient ; she will require a new foremast. The
Captain of the Chasse-tnaree says,.that the Americans
lost in killed, in the action with the REMUS/ eight
or ten persons only."

We have received Paris Paper; of Sunday last.-r.
They contain no notice whatever of the foolish nt.
mour in the Hamburgh Papers that BONAPARTI has
been carried off from Elba by his English keepers._
We are inc ned to believe, therefore, that the Ham.
bprgh story is a hoax.

PARIS, JULY 17.

The King is better to-clay than he was yesterday;
he was pot at mass however, but will be present tql
morrow. The Court, it is said, will be removed t
Fontainbleau in October.

In future all persons in public offices will be paid
quarterly, instead of monthly, as formerly : this, it
is stated, will diminish the expense of the Pay Ofacs
Department.
Letters from Rome of the 41 June, announce, that
Cardinal Maury had arrived there, but was expressly'
prohibited from presenting himself at the Palace of
the Pope. Nothing is rnovgn as to his future destil
nation.
DIJON, JULY la.
The King of Prussia passed through our city on
Sunday last, under the name of Count Ruppin. He
was accompanied by his two sons, and they took the
route of Switzerland. According to new arrange.
menu the King Will arrive at POWAIG on the 2lst
instant.

Last night his RoyalHigliness the Duke of SUE=
put five questions to Lord Ltvlaroot. respecting the
present situation of the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALL&
We cannot but infer, from the whole procedure, that
a degree of superintendance, to which some may be
inclined to give the name of restraint, is at present
exercised over her Royal Highness. The contrary
was so confidently asserted atter the removal of the
Princess to Carlton House, that we believed it, an 4
in consequence stated, that no impediment existed to
her intercourse with those with whom she might wish
to communicate.

It would appear, however, that the fact is not pre.
cisely as we stated it ; and therefore, without mean:
ing, however, to express any 'pinion on so delicate 4
question, we have thought it our duty to give as. inn
and accurate a report as possible of the proceedings .
in the House of Peers last night, for the information
of our Readers. We are not prepared to say, on the
one hand, that in the case of t► e. presumptive heir to
the Crown ao direction or superintendance should be
exercised, even after attaining the years of the Prin •
cess : nor, on the other, io allow that, in the case of
the presumptive heir to the Crown, the people have no
more concern than in that of any private family.
—We think that no sober-minded person will 4EOI
either the one or the other. It should, however; •be
recollected that Ministers are accountable for the
general management of the Royal Family; and
such responsibility existing [let litho will deny it]
the public should be slow to. believe that any undtle
degree of restraint can be exercised over the Princess
CtrAttleOTTE.
Report states, that the Duke of Sussex having re.
quested to see her Royal Highness had been refused ;
,tnd that in this refusal his notice of last night of his
intended motion originated. If so, the discussion,
when it comes on, will lead to some explanation, r
the declaration of some principle on which a mot
correct opinion may be formed th.til on any thing ye
bet ore the public.
