ItbrnisstOriniele of this day contains the
fellow int passage :
ft In a Paper of yesterday it was stated errone.
ously; that'Mr. •Ps:aceviL had bade. long autli-
-44 ence of his ROyal Highness the Pnixcx of
46 WALES, on the subject of the course to be pur.
" sued in the pri•scnt situation of the Executive
f • Power. We belibre that no such interview (oak
4‘ place. The Loan CIIANCEIII.OR, indeed, had an
" audience of the Pnrsee some days ago, but not
" no the subject of a Regency. We understand it
S. related simply to• the settlement made by the late
"'Princess AMELIA, not on any subject at all ems.
.1.. f fleeted with the present state of affairs; indeed,
it as we have stated, the PRLNCE has throughout
t• abstained from all interference with the measures
46 that have been taken on the present atilicting
Fr cm.•rgency : and we believe, that of all men, his
gg Royal fli;hncss is the most earnest in hit
‘l. "fishes fgt. the Kura's speedy and perfoct fsCOr
vcry.'t

No sio..itt this intelligence is accurate, and it was
with extreme pleasure that wo react it. It is known
that we treated this report respecting the Patsee
with contempt, end should have loft it io utter
knee if the story had not been SQ obstinately reite.
ratel. That his Royal Highness should deign to
bargain with any men fur the REGENCY, was a,
thought that could not have entered into any hut
the potrest mind; and that he should haw agreed to
retain the present Ministers would indeed have given
a proof to the country that* he was unworthy of the
station. His Royal highness has lamented the present
system at.d practice of Government with a sensibility
eonsonaet with his other Atte (panties. It is true,in.
deed, his Royal Highness has not appeared in two.
sition to his ratlier's counsels. to this he has
shown most eminlntly the wisdom, as well is mode.
ration of his exalted mind. His Royal Highness
bas been repeatedly sad loudly tailed ,ttpon to set.
himself in opposition to his
.Father's cosmseb. Uis
Royal Highness knew his ditty better. He knew tits
wh.,10 of his duty, both AS it regarded hii relation to,
his-Sovereign and his Father, and at it regarded
hi, obligations to the country he was deslintsl to
rag's over and protect. lie made these several du.
ties meet in one point, and tend to one object.
Whatever influence or power he had, he employed
bi:endeavourieg to tern his father aside from those
unheillty counsels which have been so disastrous to
the country. Alit his Royal Highness did not
Pet this part with any ostentatious opposition to his'
Father's Government. It is an idle supposition to
iambic, that the Heir of the Crown can join with
au open opposition, and preserve his own charac.
ter. There is an indecency in the situation which is
incompatible with the character of a Prince. There
h a meanness in hackneyed cavils that may bec.nne a
party.snan, but is unworthy of a Prince. Had
Isis Royal Highness taken the advice we have
alluded to, be would, when he came to ascend the
throne, have come to it fettered by worse than any
chstos which even the present Ministers would wish
to pot upon his Us:espies% Following the dictates
pt* his own candid and /aigh tenet! mind, helms placed
himself upon an eminence More lofty thaO tba
Throne itself ; and when the Throne is his, he will
ascend it with a reputation worthy to till Owned ;
and be free to act according to his goo demisted
wilt. Nothihkcau exegt the splendour which Will
surround his Royal Highness, and even toy to
Win will be the task of saving Ida caoutry;•
