PRINCE REGENT AND MR. PERCEP 4E.

Every thing which bears reference to an import-
Ent event, which excited the astonishment of all
when it occurred, will no doubt be read with con-
siderable interest at the present moment. The
following letters passed between his present Ma-
jesty and Mr. Pereeval, when the former announced
his intention of retaining those Ministers who had
imposed the restrictions at his Regency:—

Carlton-Mouse, Feb. 1. 1811.

The Prinre of Wales considers the moment to be ar-
rived which calls for his decision with respect to the per-
sons to be employed by loisto in toe islmiiiistrati )))) of-the
Executive In:yen:moot of the coeintry, according to the
powers sti,ed in hiss by the 1341 passed by the two
Houses of Parliament, and now ps the point of reeeiv
int; the sanction of dor Great Sea.
l'he Prince feels it ineuusbefut upon him, at this pre-
cise julieNire, to commonly t-0 Mr. Peri-evil his intim-
ti not to remove from t etc stations those whom he
finds there as his Majeste $ of servants. At the
%MDr t'ione the Prince utsitialt to the troth and sincerity
of character, which be snails will appear in every action
of lots life, in whatever situation plowed, esoolecitly to
declare, that the irresistible impulse of filial dety and
affeetion to his beloved and *filleted fathom, leals him to
dread that any us of the Regent might, in the smallest
degree have the effect of interfering with the progress
of his Sovereign's recovery. Thie conclusion *Lona
dictates the decision now communicated to Mr. Per-
eeral. _ _ .

Having thus performed an act of indispensible duty,
from a jest sense of what is doe to his own consistency
and honour, •he Prince has only to add, that among the
many blessings to he derived from his 31ajesty's restora-
tion to health, and to tbepersonal exercise of his Royal
functions, it will not, in the Prince's estimation, he the
least, that Mat most fot Innate event will at once rescue
him from a situation of unexampled combo melt, and
put an end to a state of affairs ill calculated, he fears, to
sustain the interest of the United Kingdom, in this
awful and perilous crisis, and most difficult to he re-
conciled to the genuine principles of the British Con-
stitution.
