and fortune may do much mischief; but, after
all, its influence is still' circumscribed by bee-

continue to outrage the sober and civilized habits of
'English society, by open and daring profligacy—the
contempt and adliorrence of all around him, though
such means might fail in reforming a vitiated taste,
would certainly compel him to assume the mask of

So examine the reasons assigned by the leading Jour-
aals connected with Ministers and the Opposition,
fur that very singular affair. It is admitted an all

fen House, and from thence to Cranford liodgevl
where the Countess Dowager of ROSSLTX, the
Countess of ILCHESTERI the two Miss COATES,
and Mrs. CAMPBELL were actually in the next room,
in readiness to wait upon her. In this embarrassing
situation, the Princess affected compliance with her
Father's wishes, and only requested permission to
cithdraw for a few moments to compose her spirits,
aid to prepare for the introduction of these ladies.
Ste was allowed to withdraw accordingly, but in-
stend of rewriting as expected, she rushed into the
street, threw herself into a hackney-coach, and
drove off to Connaught-place, the residence of her
Royal Mother. So far us these facts go, all parties are
agreed, but the Chronicle assertsohat the breaking up
cif her Royal Highness's household, and the dismis-
sal of hor servants, was an intimation delivered in
terms of unusual severity, as it was accompanied
by a declaration, that she was to be placed under the
sole superintendance of these Ladies, newly appointed
by the REGENT, and that she was neither to be per-
mitted to receive visits nor letters. On the other band,
the Courier, who may be regarded as the Ministerial
organ in every thing but truth, assures us, that the
above extra orti:hary intimation was made to the Prin.
cesrin the mildest terms—" with all that kindness
atat effection for which the Priuce has been univer-
'wittily distinguished, not only in his treatment of
his daughter, but of all kis family," for the truth of
\which, he appeals to the Bishop of SALISBURY.-
3Ye, for our parts, do not think it necessary to
!rouble the Right Reverend Prelate on this occasion,
for however satisfactory the Bishop's testimony might
be. the thing is sufficiently clear to speak for itself:
if the PRINCE ReTersz could announce to his daughter
the dissolutiou of her household, the dismissal of her
servants, and a peremptory prohibition against re-
ceiving either visits or letters, in the mildest terms, it
must be pretty evident that his Royal Highness can
say a very uncivil thing in a very civil way. --a faculty,
which however it may bespeak his politeness, is but
a sorry compliment paid to Ids sincerity. As.for the
kindness and affection to his daughter and all his fa-
mily (of which his wife reckons one), for which the
Costrier samtheßcaver has been always distinguish-
ed—that is a truth. to long and so universally known,
