trying her patience to the utmost. Not only was the
srra, restriction from seeing her beloved otlspring
too heavy a cllarnity for endurance, but that load of
regret, and agonizing anxiety, has been cruelly
itmreased, by the knowledge of the indisposition of
tlit Princess CHARLOTTE. Tae LORD CHANCELLOR,
p maps by virtue of tis office, as guardia.i of the
p .rson and property of orphans, viewing the illus-
trious young Princess partly so situated, has kindly
undertaken that she shall not want for any thing that
good nursing can afford in her illness.
There is nothing which has happened since the pre-
sent men have esercisod the rule of this countr) ,or th lco
of the it predecessor., whose destructive system they
made a boast of following, which is half so calcu-
lated to place them in an inconsistent and odious light,
as their deportment on the Princess of W %Les% af-
fair. In this ,point of view they will be seen in
their true colours ; as they will be found to have •
taken, of late, a diametrically opposite course to that
which was laid down by two plodding Lawyers, six
years ago, as the best way of defending the very
Lady, on whom the oldest of the two Lawyers is
now disposed to advise, silently, to retire into pri.
vale : although he must be convinced, that the
suspicion and imputation which would neces-
sarily accompany her in her retirement must
be a bitter potion to her lip, • and see& as
ought not to be thrown into her cup.
With respect to the prlDriety of demanding an ex-
plicit avowal of her Royal Highness's innocence
(unless she could be proved guilty), we are of the
same opinion, though a strengthened one, still. It
is what the meanest subject has a right to ask and
obtain, whether accused of a venial or highly crimi-
nal act : it is what the Constitution, as much of it
as remains in practice, still affords by the l:tns of the I
realm. The sly Times and saucy Colf:i..r may con-
tinue their slavish jargon, sad whoever lE-es such
stuff may read it, about 46 there litintr, no lack of
willing witnesses ;" and that her counselhirs are to I
blame to " di -g her Royal Highness'. conduct to
the bar of a puf.lic investigation," &c. &c. These
writers know, as well as we do, that there ire
wretches floating with the tide of corruption in these
our worst days, who might be engaged to swear, that
they paid the writer of this disinterested address 5001..
for so doing: or, if necessary, that they saw such
writer on this very day in the North of Ireland,
stirring up the Catholics to rebellion, in case their
just Claims should be refused in the British Parlia-
ment ! With respect to dragging. the Princess en to
investigation. Would those insulting writers hare it'
understood, that the Princess of WALE.% is so im-
moveable to the calls of reputation I Do theexpres-
sions of her painful feelings, in being deprived the
intercourse with her darling and only child* show
her the torpid creature her unmanly assailants would
make her? Shame and hatred must follow such brutal
insults, such prostituted controversy. We are for
no inquisitions—no secret sentences.—Every thing
connected with the Crown, and the State, should be
pure in the eyes of the people; the former is from
the people, and the latter lor the people.--
Nothing mysterious must be concealed under the one,
nor connived at by the other. Those mighty advo-
e.ites of power (in whatever hands it may rest, no
matter-) have the moderation to confess, that they

less. But is she not punished already, as if guilty ?
Are they, we will not say manly enough, for they
have long lost the quality of manliness? Are they
honest enough to complain of her hard treatment,
and recommend other more mild? What would the
figurative BURKE, if alive, say on this occasion, as
he did on the subject of poor ANTOINETTE? " How
is it that a thousand masterly pens do not of them-

The Time: speaks of trivial indiscretions. This way

does not take weevils) Members of the Royal Family
and the Members of the Cabinet may as. well
rule the country themselves as do it through the
medium of creatures of their own choosing. Since
things are thus, we are astonished to find the few
honest unbiassed Representatives we have in Parlia-
ment make any thing like a stand against the most
obvious encroachments on the' rights of the people.
If men must be sent to prisons and pillories for of-
fending Princes and Courts, what do they deserve

fenders should be found even among the highest
classes, they ought to be illustrated, not by collars

JANUARY 28.

" Sia,—A report having circulated, that the sea-
men and marines of his Majesty's ship Orpheus, now
lying in Halifax, commanded• by Mott PIGOT, Esq.
would act cowardly, they are very much hurt at the
thought of such a representation respecting them ;
and they now beg the liberty to acquaint Mr. PAT

are anxious to have it in their power to show their
loyal divnsition in defence of their King and Country,
tbeir rights and privileges; and further, under the
command of such an' able Officer as Capt. Pico;
and the rest of the Officers by whom they have the
honour to be commanded; and they further beg leave
to represent, that they long for the time it may appear
to be in their power to convince the authors of
such a clandestine, report, that their determination is
to fight against them, and for the honour and glory of
Great Britain, or die in the attempt.
