iog Is likely to have much weight, when urged by'
neighbours wad friends, and it is sure to be 16
urged; but it is irresistible when it arises within a
Man's own breast, and haunts him at his board'
end in his bed. The Ministerialists will have a
great difficulty to make Out to the NATION•
that it is a faction (a mere faction, of whatever
description it may be deemed) that now calls for
Reform of Abuses, because it is every rank, every
description, every political party, that makes the
call, independent of those that immediately live
by abuses. It is not the populace solely, as here. '
tofore, that are stung to the heart, it is the great
bulk of the nation ; and we ate fully persuade I the
great bulk of the nation, 'including those of better
I condition, would rather see thecountry sink before
a foreign power, or crushed by the horrors of an
internal struggle, than behold it oppressed and in.
suited as it at present is,'lty a miserable faction.
We are willing to guard a number of, honest per.
sons, who may be misled by the Ministerial Pa.
pen, against a mere artifice of party ; but in.
tainly we arc not sorry to see the ill-judged policy
of those Papers : they defeat their own purpose :
they excite indignation, it is (roe, but it bears upon
a point they did not intend. They excite the in.
dignation of the reader, in many and many an in.
stance, at the impudence which denies his suffer. i
ing, and at the charge which makes him
out to be an abettor of violent. and extreme
change, because he also seeks out a remedy for
his suffering, and because he. begins to join his
neighbours, whether Tories 'or Whigs, or of
whatever party, he a legal, and just, but firm
pursuit of /Worm in the abuses of the State.—
They make converts to their opponents, where
they Intended to draw their friends nearer to them-
selves. The times are different from what they
were. Men have leisure to form parties, and from
various causes have temptations to do so, when the
Government has not itself become a party with.

are no such dangers as the Ministerialists would

A report has been in circulation, that antis es

is groended on the article of the late Treaty, tn•

The following is an extract of a letter from
Lisbon, dated April 16.
•• 'l ite extreme Secrecy with which all the ope
rations of Lord Wellington's army arc conducted,
and the silence that hu invariably preserves as to
his future intentions, prevent!, us from giving you
any neeis but what relates almost immediately to
ourselves• The Htabitatits of this city are as
comfortable as possible. They have neither wants
nor fears ; to-morrow they inay have both. While
the danger is out•uf sight! they fancy it does not
exist. Fur mysilf Ido nut feel'a4 sectirel-bteaule.
it would be vain to imagine that Lord Wellington
and his army coultncSist all the power the French
could bring against Lim, did they think it worth
while ; but they have at present more important
objects to engage them ; and while the British
army continues inactive in Portugal, confining
itself in that country, until the enemy have
settled matters a little permanently in Spain, it
would be very unwise in thee► to attempt any
thing against Portugal. We do not hear that Lord
Wellington intends to move." , .
Officer in the army of Marquis RomArrs,
wriit•s, that accounts had been received by a con.
fidential person from Seville, stating 46 that V!eTuu.
was wounded by a cannon shot while taking his
observaticws before the Island of Leon, and car-
ried to Seville, where he died on the 4th instant.

The British Museum opens on Monday next to
the Public at large, and will continue open un
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
The Lords of the Admiralty have proposed to 1.
Lady Court sowoon, and the relatives of the late
Lord Cor.itswivoon, that his Lordship's remains
should be deposited in St. Paul's Cathedral. The
body is on board jhe frigate in the Downs, and
mill nut be brought to town until Lady COLLING-
WOOD'S pleesure is made kuown to the Lords of
Yesterday the Nobility, Artists, and fashion.
able connoisseurs were admitted to a private view
of the pictures in the Royal Academy. The
PERSIAN AMEtAssADOn was first among the spec.
t ttors ; he was attended by his interpreter, and
appeared much struck' with the different specimens
of genius presented by Artists of the British
School. The Marquis of STAFFORD and other
persons of rank were present. :flue exhibitiou this
year affords many excellent instances of improve-
ment in the young Artists, and several fine pro-
ductions by our best Masters.
A Noble Lord, whose Lady is of distinguished
celebrity in the circles of ton, has Mrs. L— still
under his protection. it has been thought that
since this capture by the Cyprian goddess. her
iron net has beets converted into one' of a more
valuable metal, and that in this rich ornament she
more caplioatin., than ever!
How opposite °has • been the conduct of Lord
B-11. Though in health, he abounds in years,
and feels very strongly the remark of Shakespeare,
how ill white hairs are suited with the follies of
yt.nth, and particularly the assumption of it at Ma
Ju riod.
Lord P. still neglects the amiable partner of his
cares, his wife. His pursuits resemble 44 those
bees who have been observed to neglect rose., mod
fix upon the wild fragrance of the neighbouriag
heath."
An Inquest was held, yesterday, at tho Coach
and Horses, in St. Martin's-lane; by.,AxvuoNY
ELL, Esq. on the body of Mrs. harNl,k MAMA
KI:IEILLEIC who died on Tuesday lait,.lit conse-
quence of being dreadfully burned at her hotiab in
St. Martin's-court. It appeared, that by some
accident she had set her clothes on fire. Verdict,
41::::identu1 Death.
