vernment of the Country, according
to the Powers vested in him by the
Bill passed by the two Houses of
Parliament, and now on the point of
receiving the sanction of the Great
Seal.
The Prince feels it incumbent upon
him, at this precise juncture, to com
municate to Mr. Perceval his inten
tion not to remove from their stations
those whom he finds there as his ma
jesty’s official servants. At the same
time the Prince owes it to the truth
and sincerity of character, which, he
trusts, will appear in every action of
his life, in whatever situation placed,
explicitly lo declare, that the irresti-
ble impulse offilial doty and affection
to his beloved and afflicted Father,
leads him to dread that any act of the
Regent might, in the smallest de
gree, have the effect of interfering
with the progress of his Sovereign’s
recovery. This consideration alone
dictates the decision now communi
cated to Mr. Perceval.
Having thus performed an act of
indispensable duty, from a just sense
of what is due to his own consisten
cy and honour, the Prince has only to
add, that, among the many blessings
to be derived from bis Majesty’s res
toration to health, and to the person
al exercise of his Royal Functions, it
will not, in the Prince’s estimation,
be the least, that that most fortunate
event will at once rescue him from a
situation of unexampled embarrass
ment, and put an end to a state of
affairs, ill calculated, he fears, to sus
tain the interests of the United King
dom, in this awful and perilous cri
sis, and most difficult to he reconci
led to the genuine principles of the
British Constitution.
Downing-strect, Feb. 5,18t 1.
Mr. Perceval presents his humble
duty to vour Royal Highness, and
has the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your Ropl Highness’s letter
of last night, which reached him this
morning. Mr. Perceval feels it his
duty to express his humble thanks to
your Royal Highness for the frank
ness with which your Royal High
ness has condescended, explicitly, to
communicate the motive which have
induced your Royal Highness to ho
nour his colleagues and him with
your commands for the continuance
of their services, in the stations en
trusted to them by the King. Ai-.d
Mr. Pt-rceval beg3 leave to assure
your Roval Highness’s sentiments of
filial and loyal attachment to the King,
& of anxiety for the speedy restora
tion of his Majesty’s health, Mr. Per
ceval can see nothing but additional
motives for their most anxious exer
tions to give satisfaction to your
Royal Highness, in the only manner
in which it can he given, by endea
vouring to promote your Royal High,
ness's views, for the security and
haptness of the country.
Mr. Perceval has never failed to
regret the impression pf yotu Royal
Highness, with regard to the prarvi- Inst, boarded and cut out by the La
sions of the Regency Bill, which his J ~~' ’ " * :l '**
Majesty’s servants f*lt it to be their
duty to recommea^ to Parliament.
But, he ventures tq submit to your
Royal Highness, that, whatever diffi
culties the presentowfii! crisis of tl\e
country & the worldoiay create ia tho
administratiorrwf the Executive Go
vernment, you4Btkyal Highness W®
not find them in any degree increased
by the temporary suspension of the
exercise of those * branches of the
Royal Prerogatives, which has been
introduced by Parliament, x tn confor
mity to what was intended qn a for
mer & similar occasion ; St'that what
ever Ministers your Royal Highness
might thmk proper to employ, would
find in that full support and counte
nance which, as long as they were
honoured*with your Royal Highness’
commands, they would feel confident
they would continue to enjoy, ample
and sufficient means to enable, y ou r
Royal Highness effectually tdmain
tain the great and important interests
of the Unit-.-d Kingdom. And Mr.
Perceval humbly trusts, that, what
ever doubts your Royal Miriness
may entertain with respect tq the
Constitutional propriety of the ixea*
sure* which ha ve.be on adopt ed,y our
Royal Highness wHt fee) assured,
that they could not have been recom
mended by his Majesty’s servants,
nor sanctioned by parliament, but up
on the sincere, though possibly er
roneous conviction, that they in no
degree trenched upon the true prin
ciples and spirit of the constitu
tion.—Mr. Perceval feels it his duty
to add, that he holds himself in rea
diness, at any moment, to wait upon
your Royal Highness, and to receive
any commands with which your Roy
al Highness, may be graciously pleas
ed to honor him.

Yesterday, the 16th inst a Dublin
mail reached town, with intelligence
calculated to excite the most painful
apprehensions respecting the affairs
in Ireland. The irritability of the
publick mind, induced by the stag
nation of trade, and some political
causes, has rendered it necessary for
government to guard the publick
tranquility by adopting strong pre
cautionary, as well as coercive mea
sures.

law, is confiscation of the ship and
cargo to the public use,
“ 2. All the collonial produce
found in the states of each of the
Alttck powers shall be seized and
sold, and the proceeds placed in the
public treasury*. Persons in whose

found, after the signature of the trea
ty, shall be subjected to fine and im
prisonment, according to the decisi

of the states to determine thereon.
“ 3. Ships bona fide Americans,
and neutrals, shall be admitted and
allowed to discharge their cargoes,
provided they consist of the produce

way the neutrality of their flag to be
violated.”

Within a period of ten years the
number of Post Offices in the U. S.
has much more than doubled, and the
extent of the circuit travelled by the
mails has been increased in nearly
the same proportion. Pei haps his
tory does not exhibit an instance of
so rapid a progress made in any na
tion in the same period of time;
which indeed may be accounted for
by the consideration that there ne
ver has been a nation in which the
general diffusion of information was
as necessary to the very existence
of the government as it is in cur Re
public. The view which is here pre
sented exhibits also another inte
resting fact; that the progessive dif
fusion of knowledge, which may be
estimated in the same ratio as that
of the Post Office Establishment, is
as rapid a gain as the increase of the
population of the United States en-
creases nearly one third, the diffu
sion of information is doubled.

SKETCHES OF
The territory of Louisiana.
(Friin the pen of H. M. Br-ckenbridge, Efq.)
It is trAy surprising that tin Ter-
ritery of Louisiana, should have re
mained to this day, a blank on the
map of North America. France and
Spain, possessed it in turn for more
than a century, and still it lay hid in
night; scarcely, has it been held se
ven years, by the United States un-
till the enterprising spirit of free*
men has explored, and made it
known. It is now one ol the most
interesting portions of the Ameri-
r?a empire. Still, much remains
