Pitt WAS 10 apprife him of their intention TO
move for Parliamentary enquiry into the fate
OF Eiis M4leity's health, with view TO other
proceedings. 1t is certain, however, that his
Maletty held private levee Yesterday, and ipent
the day in manner tha: ought to make US hear
or read thefe accounts with great caution.

II has been anertsd with confidence, that the
interview which MIR. Fox and MIR. Grey had on
Monday with MIR. Pitt, had no relation whate-
yer to political or public concerns. IF that be
the cafe. we are to iuppoie that after all the
long and violent animoGtieS that have fubliaed
between thefe two leaders, private friendihip
| has been eftabliihed between them, and that MIR.
Fox and MIR. Grey went to Downing Greet,
| merely to pay friendly morning Witt to the
| Prime Minifter. As they Raid hour and a
| half, we FEAR that, remembering only that they
had no buinefs to do themfelves, they forgot
that Mr.. Pitt had. We would advife them not
| to make their next morning call 10 long.
But can it be fuppoied for moment that fuch
| a conference had nothing TO do with buiinefS of
a political or public nature; now, in this heat
and contention between the new Administration
| and the Coalition? when the latter accufc the
former of having made them the ladder by which
they have climbed into Office? What private
friendihlp can fubGft between Mr.. Pitt and Mr.
Fox, or what tranfaGtions that relate to private
| buiinefs have ever patied between them? We
| believe, therefore, either that MIR. Fox went 10
Mr.. Pitt to communicate to him fome lrsaiurc
OF public and delicate nature, which he meant
\ to propoie, that Mr.. Pitt reauefted to fee
| MIR. Fox, to inform him of fome meafure equal
! ly public and delicate, which he meant 20 fab-

fubjeet.

Imperial family between his Maielty Napoleon
and his Brother, Citizen Lucien Bonaparte, his
Imperial Highnefs Prince Louis Bonaparte, has
narrowly eicaped an affair of honour with Citi-
zen Beauharnois, Brother to her Imperial High
nefs, the Princefs Fanny de Bauharnois, comfort
to prince Louis. This quarrel originated in the
dlfcontent of Citiz en- Beauharuois, who, though
his mother was faluted an Emprefs, his father
decreed an Emperor, his filter made princefs &
his brother in-law an Imperial Prince and a
! Conftable ofthe Empire, in the fame day; he

Oh. Flahault, fon to the guilotined Count
de Flahault, aid-de-camp to his Imperial High
