MONDAY, MAY 3, 1813.

Paris Papers to the 30th alt. arrived in town last
night, in which it wilt be seen that Dantzic is spoken
of as not having surrendered, though that circum-
stance of itself would. be no proof of the fact. The
,whole of the French intelligence is military,and sounds
a still louder note of preparation and confidence. The,
au tho►ity jested in the, Prince of titramini.(rlavolnr)
at. once excites our a ppreheMilaii ...aid horror. We
ie, heretot.re, expressed out fears, that the French
Aso 41 take vengeance upon the 'Unhappy Hanseatics,
should they (as we had no doubt they would) return
aga in arms to their 111-fated soil. Though nothing
,Is said of thetcdy of PONAPACTE, yet his military
-wrings are observed on their stretch. Thii will be a
.14ioroui ;led of: the Eagle.
Hard is cur task !—What can we'say to the pub- j
.lie bite we undeceive- them ess 'one of the most
Important point.% connected witl this extended and :
arduous war, we disappoint them in their most san-
.guine expr.:.tation-i-while we sympathise with them
on this new-defeat of their hopes, we feel more than
•rtotnuson indignation against those who so ground-
less!y raised them Oh, shitine' on that part of the
•Brifish press,
,which is daily prpstitated to :the most
sordid or most slavish purposes! ! Bat for this na-
,tionii degradation, the war had terminated years and
,years ago ; and .which; • if not put an end to by a
'kind of regeneration of British spirit and British ho-
mina, we shall war on till we have only a sword-
belt kft to our hacks. The mischief begins
.with the Droits of aldinirallyf and goes down to the
Contractor for soldier's great coats! Good Heavens,
that a sober being should, or could expect any
-prosrerous turn to the affairs of England, while
emiui•nt orzoors in Parliament defend the former
pract::e, and pettNprnters in the city, are allowed

ithisre4t.lity the latter, ye ter al—efrollishing ! An !'

; The policy of its then Minister was (Orli, that if it
,had been adopted by the Ministers of Great Britain,
these would have raised the fortune, strength, and
eminence of their country, to a pitch never before
witnessed. That 'solidly sensible, but unboasting
unloquacious Minister, BERNSTORFF, revolved to take
no part* the reformation of other Goverments.—
Ile expected that by observing a strict nOutrality,Lis
country would be exempted from disturbance, and
the people of it preserved from the endless miseries
of war. How reasonable, how philosophical !—hut
no, the haughty, the irascible, the sullen, the eloquent
Mr. PITT would not let another man oq the earth, if
possible, be at peace, whilst his own:despotic spirit
was incapable of rest. Ile, therefore, .menaced the
honest BERNSTOREF with his vengeance, if he did not
join his mad crwAe against the whole French na-
tion. " If you do not," said the unhappy son of.
the great CHATH au, 44 take part with us, we will take
part against you." A portion of the sequel is before the
public of England, before all Europe ; and the rest of
'it mill be known, when our crooked designs with
Sweden are frustrated, which cannot toil to be the
case, when it is. considered from what policy and
system they have arisen, awl by what men they
are to. tie, managed.—BERNSTORFF has returned
to his post, and BCRNADOTTE has not yet arrived
at his! !—Per/mot sat. We however belieie that
our Ministers, inefficient in talent as they mar
be, will have efficiency enough to set Denmark
and Sweden by the ears, and this is, we apprehend,
the furthest extent to which the CROWN PRINCE
will go of himself : though " money makes the
mare to go." After Ministers then have fairly set these
two Northern Poweic to loggerheads, they will be
entitled to bear the short but significant motto of
Sir CIIMSTOPIIER %Yeast, as affi+c*ci by that archi-
tect to St. Paul's Church, when finished, viz. Cir.:
cumspicc ; for they will have set all. Europe in arms
or in names.

For our own parts, we do not believe what the
Courier has asserted of the demands of the Court of:
Denmark for re-entering into its ancient alliance
with Great Britain. When the discussion comes'on
in Parliament, and come it must, it wiU be found to
be a distortion a the truth. Much as that State has
to complain of, we cannot think its demands of in'
demnification would rise to so unreasonable a pitch
(for unreasonable it would be to expect)-
1. 'flat all her territories (Norway of course in-
cluded) should be guaranteed to her.
2. That all her Islands should be restored to her.
3. Her fleet, and a large indemnity for its capture
by us—besides a large sum for what the Danes had
suffered during our occupation of Zealand. ,
4. The making over the Ilanse Towns to her.
5. The granting of a subsidy to her to pay the
troops necessary to enable her to take possebsion of
those towns /

the (*fold:
gg We have escribedthe danger to which the Princess
of WALE has been exposed, as equal in magnitude
and prosimiti to any that has deer assailed a Royal
Personage,. il* female particularly, in these king-
°doors. Hertifhallan has been compared to hate!-
Awx Boma*, in the feign of HENRY Vlll.:_but
Axis BoLetw sunk under the charge brought against
het'. Perhaps the case of • the Princess, afterwards
Queen Erazaarnt, when the bloody MARY
sought to entrap her life, on the doctrine of transub-

stantiatiort., may more neatly.resemble that of the
Princess of WALES than any other. The result is
the same,—the preservition of the innocent : but we
do most ardently challenge attention to a comparison
of the different degrees .of malignity inherent in the
enemies of the two Princesses. No one has beard
that those of +h Princess ELIZAIMN ever attempt-
ed to conceal address in eluding the captious
questions . - emksaries: her celebrated lin-

CAROLT 'w '0" J n their diabolical design against
her lift.-4 11 ts baffled, would actually smother
•the :.ich a joyful people bear of her
innocence. Tl-d. l °pular Addresses on this occasion
are not to ho d in the Gazette ; no, not one of

' them : and to pi,. ify such a determination in that par.
ticuler instance to which we more immediately ad-
vert, Lord SIONOUTH, it is said, chooses to consider,
the Princessof WALES as a private personage, and
the City of London also (we suppose) as a private 'I
I body. It is evident that such a course, justified by
1
1 such a motive, is but adding injury to injury. It is
leaking a derogatory conception, which his Lord en-
tertains of the character and station of our fatsre
(ilexes,. the foundation of an insult upon her per-
son : and if her Royal . highness is not protected
° from the insolence of the Home Secretary, as she has
been from the malice of others, it were better that
1 she should at once lay down her dignity, and resign
her right to the Crown.
let it be observed, that it is only the Address of
the City of .Landon, in its corporate capacity of
IMayor, Aldermen, and Common Council, of which
we are here advocating the right to an insertion in
1 the Gazette. Of others we say nothing, though our
opinion is favourable to their admission alsos when
they are properly and decently expressed : but
Ithe City or London can do itself justice. If no
I Addresses are to be published in the London Ga-
ulle but such as are presented to the PRINCE
' REGENT himself, to the PRINCE REGENT the
!
City of London has access ; and his' Royal High-
ness must receive the oral congratulations of
that body of his subjects, on the frustration of the
plots laid for the destruction of his wife. Much
do we grieve, indeed, at the renewal of these odious:
disputes ; but the Princess of Wuxi is again thrown
upon the British nation for itecountenance and sup-
! port, and she does not look for desertion now.-1
Nay, such is the situation in which the Prince him-,
!eel( is placed by*Lord SIDSIOUTHIS conduct, that he
, • •
' must call upon his people, and more especially upon
I
the City of London, to address hitn, that he may
troudly exhjbit himself to the siatiou free and clear.
!'of any participation in that act by which his con-
. sort is insulted, and the testimonies of her innocence
obscured. , . . . .
