We are happy to state, eta the general answer to
the inquiries of yesterday at Carlton Palace, was of
the most favourable character, and confirms the san-
guine expectations occasioned by. ihe discontinuance
of the Bulletins. It was stated that his MAJESTY
had passed a good night, and was recovering as fast
as could possibly be expected. The inquirers at
Calton Palace continued to be uncommonly nu-
merous. Prince LtoroLD came from Kensing-
ton Palace, and visited the KING. Pall-Mall was
thronged with the carriages of the Nobility and Gen-
try, who proccede.l to the Grand flail to set down
their names, and to learn the progress of his NIAJE.s-

T v's recovery.

The Pais Papers of Wednesday arrived this fore-
noon. T.ei contain a confirmation, from Bourdeaux,
of the r.: ors last received from Madrid, respecting
tiie state of the Spanish Insurrection, but no farther
irfurrnation on the subject. The celebrated LAVA-
L ETTE is said to have arrived in Paris ; and, in the
airair of General GILLY, who lately surrendered
himself for trial, such evidence has been adduced as
it is confidently expected, ensure his acquittal.
The Duke of lincini.lEu has been appointed Am-
Ons,ador Lxtraordivary to the *Court of Great Bri-
tain. for the purpose of presenting hip MAJESTY'S
compliments of condolence to GEORGE THE Fut-irn,
on the demise of his late Majesty, GEORGE THE
THlRD.—French 5 per cents. Tuesday, 73 fr. 73 c.

Our late I.etters frum France bring intelligence of
a fire in the :qwn of Boulozne, which had nearly
proved fatal to Lady HARRIET llo.tan and her
amiable family of ten children, owing to the unpar-
donable negligence of a Flemish servant boy. Sir
J. seen HOARE most providentially returning home,
just alter the fire broke out, had sufficient time to
spread the alarm, and save the family. We are
happy in being able to add, that by the prompt
arrival of the town engines, aided by the active
exertions of both the French and English inhabitants,
the fire was speedily got under ; but not without the
total destruction of that part of the building where
it originated. The two younger sons of Sir JOSEPH,
and Lady HARRIET, who slept in the chamber be-
yond -where the fire took place, narrowly escaped ;
and but for the determined coolness of their father,
who rescued them from the flames, they must have
inevitably perished. We have seldom heard of a
more providential escape altogether; for bad the
discovery of the fire been delayed many minutes, the
flames would have communicated with the main
staircase, in which case the retreat of the entire
family would have been cut off.

Frankfort Fapers have arrived to the 4th instant.
The following is the only article worth extracting:

ROME, JANUARY 19.

Letters from her Royal Ilighness the Princess of
Wales, dated from Marseilles, announce her Royal
llighnesc's intention of returning to Pesaro, in the
mon:11 of March:

It is said, that a Member of the English Commit-
tee for the promotion of the Emancipation of the
Catholics in Great Britain, who is now at Rome,
has made objections to the idea of placing the
Scotch Seminary (formerly near the Piazza Barbarini, '
and now removed to St. Eusebio to the Convent of
Cselestines), which is to be restored again under the
direction of the Jesuits, to whom it belonged before
the suppression of their Order. This Gentleman ob-
se, ves, that it may excite in England an impression
unfAvourable to t:ie Catholics. It is known that the
Ecclesiastics intended for that kingdom, were edu-
cried upon principles and by men whom public opi-
nion still considers as dangerous.

A considerable damp 'has just been thrown over
the commercial hemisphere at Leeds, by the failure
of a large Home in the General Commission line,
which has excited apv!chensions for the fate of others
which we hope will not be realised. There have also
be-a some recent disturbances in that neighbour-
hood, particularly at Daw-Grecn, Body, Heckinond-
wike, and Dewsbury, occasioned by attacks made by
some of ;Ire Clothiers' Union" men upon the work-
men called " Blacks"—that is, workers under the
steep/co Frices. In conscquelfce of these disturbances,
these townships have applied for, and will no doubt
obtain the protection of a military force.

In another column we have inserted, from The'l
Dublin Erching Post, a Letter from Montreal, of
the 27th December, announcing that the Discover/
Ships have made good their passage through one of
the Sounds in Baffin's Bay, and reached the mouth


of the Copper-mine River (W. long. 112 degrees,
lat. 69 degrees), where they were wintering. We
shall rejoice to find this intelligence correct; bat
we understand that there are other Letters from
Montreal, of later-date's,in town, which do not men-
tion the fact. The names seem to indicate some-
thing like a hoax : there is, we understand, no Mr.
M,Tantsit in the North•West\Company, but Mr.
TAvisit ; nor any Mr. 11oFFNEn in the Expedition,
but a Mr. HorrsEn ; and Mr. 51‘TAvisii, of the
North-West Company, was at New York when the
letter from Mr. M.T.Anisn is said to have been
written. Besides, the reaching of Coppermine River
is so far from being a discovery of a North-West
Passage, that there is still an extent of fifty degrees
of longitude to be explored.: •

Yesterday, a Cabinet Council was held at the Se-
cretary of State's Office for the Home Department,
which was attended by most of the Cabinet Ministers.
Cabinet Councils have been held every day during
the past week.
An Order in Council was agreed upon at the first
Privy Council held by his MAJESTY, on Sunday, the
30th ult. tor making the neA.ssary alterations in the
Forms of Prayer in- the Church Service, in conse-
quence of the demise of the late KING, 'which wis en-
trusted to the Archbisho.p of CANTERBURY and the
Bishop of LONDON.
Yesterday, his MAJESTY received visits from the
Dukes of YORK and GLOUCESTER, the LORD CHAN-
cELLon, and the Earl of LIVERPOOL.

On the demise of his late most excellent MAJESTY,
two of the King's Messengers were sent off with the
melancholy tidings to the Queen of WIRTEMSERO,
and to the Princess of 11Esse HOMBERO.,
The premises of Messrs. FRANCE and I3ANTINO
have been thronged on the outside, by persons endea-
vouring to force their way in to view the state coffin
for the remains of his late MAJESTY, but they have
not been admitted. The crowd became so unma-
nageable, that some Bow-street Officers were sent
for to keep them in order. The state cofEn is to be
covered with purple velvet.

The remains of his late MAJESTY Will lie in state
in the Chapter-Room of the Knights of the Garter,
adjoining St. George's Hall, from the morning of
Tuesday next, to the timeof their interment on Wed-
nesday ev.ening. This noble apartment (the Chapter-
Room) has been hung with purple, and the rooms
leading to it with black. There will be no tickets of
admission issued from the LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S
Office, as in the case of her late MAJESTY'S Tying in
state at Kew, but every person will be freely ad-
mitted who appears in deep mourning. The admis
sion of the Public will be confined to the Porter's
entrance door at St., John's Tavern, through the
Queen's guard chamber into St. George's Hall; af-
terwards the company enter the state apartments, and
return down the staircase leading to the kitchen-court.
The Pages of his late MAJESTY alternately relieve
each other, in sitting by the remains df their late
Royal Master, in Windsor Castle. Of five of these
faithful attendants, four have been in the service of
their late Sovereign up wards of half a century each.
We believe Mr. CLARKE claims seniority on the list,
having been 51 years ; Mr. BOTT, 50 ; Mr. HEALEY,
43 ; and Mr. BAKER, upwards of 40 years. The
King's Equerries, Generals GWYNNE, CARTWRIOHT,
MANNERS, and GARTH, have grown cid in their offi-1
cial duties. In short. most of the domestics honour.
ably boast of a long service with their departed master.
The Churches and Chapels, throughout the Metro-
polls, will be opened for Divine Service on the day
of the late KING'S interment, and appropriate Ser-
mons delivered at each on the occasion.

Preparations are making at Cumberland•house, in
the King's Palace, St. James's, fur the reception of
the Duke of CUMBERLAND, in case his Royal High-
ness should determine on coming to England, in con-
sequence of the decease of his beloved father. Simi-
lar arrangements are making for the Duke of CAM-
BRIDGE, the return to England of their Royal High-
nesses being uncertain.
A vacancy is occasioned by the accession of the
KING to the Sovereignty, in the Order of the Garter.
The Knights Companions being twenty-five, in which
number the PRINCE REGENT was included. His late
MAJESTY was Founder of the Order of St. Patrick,
and wore round his neck the sky blue ribbon with
the badge appendant. By the death of the Duke of
KENT, a vacancy is also occasioned in that most il-
lustrious Order.
The interval between the demise and the dissolu-
tion of Parliament was :
On the Accession of ()Roast T. 15$ days.
On the Accession of Omani 11. 55 days.
On the Accession of GROILOS 111. 14S days.

The interval between the demise and the meeting
of the New Parliaments to transact business was:

On the Accession of (;roast I. 223 days.
On the Accession of Glosaa 11. 226 days.
On the Accession of G 1.014G11 111. 374 days.
The following anecdote is from the recent volume
of Jacobite Relics, by JAMES Hoc() :
- - -

His 1111A5ISTY baying been told of a Gentleman of family and
fortune in Perthshire, who bad not merely refused to take the
oath of allegiance to him, but had never permitted hint to be
namel as KING in his presence, " Carry my compliments to
him," said the. Kiso--" but—what—stop—no—he may perhaps
not receive my compliments as King of Pliciatio—Give him
the Elector of liatur.rn's compliments, and tell him that he
respects the steadiness of his principles."
THE PRINCES OCTAYJUS AND ALFRED—The Cof;
fins of these two Princes, sons of his late MAJESTY,
who died in their infancy, were on Thursday removed
from Westminster Abbey to Windsor, in two hearses
and four, grandly decorated, for the purpose of being
interred in the Royal family mausoleum, agreeably
to the wish expressed by his late MAJESTY, a short
time previous to the commencement of his malady
The coffins were removed from the hearse by the.
Yeomen of the Guard, and privately deposited in the
Royal mausoleum. •
The QUEEN of ENGLAND becomes sole patroness
of the ancient Mastership of St. Catherine's, append-
ant to the Tower of London. The value of this ap-
pointment is estimated at 1.;2500 per tumum.
Mr. GRATTAN, who is again going to brave the
fatigues of a contested Election for Dublin, is in the
seventy-eighth year of his age. He was first elected
to the Irish Parliament in 1769. His grandfather
was a eotemporary of Dean Swift's, and his fatLer
Recorder of Dublin.

BRITISH NORTH AMERICA.

FROM THE QUEBEC PAPERS.

Notwithstanding the pacific policy avowed in the
President's Message, it is plain that every preparation
is making to put the sea coast in a state of defence;
and Mr. Munroe says, that after this shall be com-
pleted, the attention of the Engineers will be turned
to the Northern and North-ivestern frontiers. The
justice of the remark, that to avoid war you should
let your enemies see that you are prepared to meet
it, is obvious; and we should be well pleased to see a
corresponding activity, in strengthening our fiontier►
on our part. Canada is the weaker country, and
her safety more imperiously requires provident
attention to the state of her defence, otherwise her
very weakness may one day encourage some Ame-
rican adventurer to plan another -Texas Expedition
against her, in a time of profound peace. These ob-
servaticns are not made in a desponding mood ; on
the contrary, we firmly confide in the power and dis-
position of the British Government to protect her
loyal Canadians, and cherish her commerce in spite
of the efforts of American ambition.

It is notified in the Upper Canada Gazette, of the
18th instant, that, in the month of May and Jane
next, al?ont 30,000 acres of land will be sold by pub-
lic auction, at the Court-house, in the town of Yon k,
under the atrhority of a Provincial Act of Parlia-
ment, vesting in Commissioners the estates of certain
traitors, and also of persons declared aliens, apply-
ing the proceeds thereof towards compensating the
losses whiph his Majesty's subjects have sustained, in
consequence of the late war, and for ascertaining
and satisfying the lawful debts and claims thereupon.
Copy of a letter from the Count de Sußviumuts
(JosErtl BONAPARTE) on the subject of the loss of his
house, by fire, addressed to WILLI Am SNOWIAN, Esq.
Judge and Justice of the Peace, Bordentown:

" Point-Breete, January 8, 1820.
" Sia—You have shewn so much interest for me since I have
been in this country, and especially since the event of the 4th
instant, that I cannot doubt it will afford you pleasure to make
known to your fellow-citizens, how much I feel all they have
done for me on that occasion. Absent myself lions my house,
they collected, by a spontaneous movement, on the first appear-
ance of the fire, which they combated with united courage and
perseverance; and, when they found it was impcskible to ex-
tinguish it, exerted themselves to save all the flames had not de-
voured, before their arrival and mine.

" All the furniture, statues, pictures, money, plate, gold..
jewels, linen, books, and in short, every thing that was not con
sumed, has been most scrupulously delivered into the hands of
the people of my house. In the night of the ire, and during the
next day, there were brought to me, by labouring mete, drawers,
in which I have found the proper quantity of pieces of money
and medals, of gold, and valuable jewels, which might have been
taken with impurity. This event his proved to me, how much
the inhabitants of Bordestown appreciate the interest I have
always felt for them ; and chews that men, in general, are good,
when they have not been perverted in their youth by a bad edu-
cation—when they maintain their dignity as men, and feel that
true greatness is in the soul, and depends upon ourselves.
" I cannot omit, on this occasion, to repeat what I have said
so often, that the Americans are, without contradiction, the
most happy people I have known—still more happy, if they un-
derstand well their happiness.
" I pray you not to doubt of my sincere rtgard.—Yones, &c
" JOSEPH, Count de Survilliers."

NitPoi:awes MEMOIRS, by himself, combine the
energy of TACITUS with the authority of CSSAR,
and are likely to live as long any classic
_of antiquity.
They will probaby be read with interest when nearly
every book of the same century is forgotten.
We feel much satisfaction in giving insertion to
the following article from the Ipswich Journal, vin-
dicatory of the character of an individual whom we
believe to be all that is here so eloquently represented.
In exoneration of ourselves, we beg to state, that the
paragraph did not, as seems to be implied, originate
with the Star. We copied it from a Morning
Paper (Public Ledger, of Saturday last) deceived, as
many other Papers appear to have been, by the
covert manner in which the paragraph, so justly
complained of, was drawn up, and far from imagin-
ing that it contained anything to injure the feelings
of a single human being :

" IPSWICH, FEBRUARY 12.

It is a lamentable fact, that no situation in life, howeier
respectable—no line of conduct, however honourable or praise-
worthy—can shield individual; from the attacks of malevolence,
which, whether aimed by envy or wanton sport, possess too fre-
spently the power of wounding the feelings, and undermining.
the comforts of those at whom the poisoned shafts are levelled.

" In waking these reflections, we advert to a paragraph which
appeared in the Star of February 5, and has since been copied
irto various other Papers, which we notice merely to apprise
those who have read the splenetic effusion, without knowing the
object of it‘' that the Gentleman, whom it was intended to mor-
tify by allusion to his respectable parents, is of high rank in
the Navy, and stand. equally high in the estimation of the first
circles in-town, as well as in this neighbourhood, whose so-
ciety he enjoys ;—that this 'gallant Officer did not ' claim
acquaintance' with the Noble Duke of Wrmattcrow, ' in conse-
quence of being passenger in the same ship from India,' is cer-
tain, for the Duke, in honouring him with a call, paid him the
compliment (whether solicited or nut) of recollecting the old'
Commander of the frigate, which.conveyed Lis Grace, then fir
ARTHUR WELLESLIT, to England.
" The slanderer, who has aimed a powerless weapon at the
peace of a highly respected' farnily, needs not perhaps be told,
that the object of his spleen acquired a fortune from the enemies
of his country, by a prefessithal zeal of thirty years service—
but he may not yet be aware, that this" well-merited fortune has
been nobly shared by the relatives of the possessor, who divided
among them, at one time, £lO,OOO, and has since educated,
from their infancy, three helpless orphans, giving to each of them
£eSCO, towards their further progress in life!
This benevolent character is now retired from active. service,
to spend the remaining period of his life in the same pari:la in
which his ancestors have lived respected for at least a century.
He it the kind husban4 of a most andahle woman, a good son,
an affestionate and liberal brother, a zealous friend, a hospitable
neighbour, and an active promoter of every nieana.of increasing
the prosperity of his native town,—but our only reply to the
scribbler who has attempted to traduce such a character, ought
