I 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.

DOMESTIC From the National Intelligencer The following statement, with which we have been favored from the Post Office Department, will shew the rapid strides ot the Uni ted States in their march in the path of fnternal improvement: <t I _ jrii 2 er £ 3 l 8» “ ifi K. |l O ou •I i. £ II» * II- .I - i Periods,.

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.

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
