The following ullegory, from the pen of Mr. Ir ving, formerly editor of the .Inahclic Moga tine, is said to lie a pretty correct history of the original dillicultics between the present King and Queen of England. There was once upon a time a young Prin cess, daughter to a sovereign Prince, who lived very happily and reputably at her fa ther’s court, enjoying all those distinctions and honors which are usually bestowed on young Princesses. When arrived at a pro per age, she was married, according to the manner that royal marriages arc conducted, by proxy, to a neighboring Prince and the heir apparent of a mighty kingdom. On ar riving in the country of her husband, she was received by him with great courtesy and politeness; in so much that the newspapers teemed with eulogiums on his deportment; for whenever a Prince says or does a civil thing, such as ordinary men say or do a do zen times a day, the newspapers always take care to make honorable mention of it; from •which many have been led to suppose that it is an extraordinary thing far a Prince to be civil or witty. Notwithstanding, however, tho extreme politeness of the Prince to his spouse, it was not long before he grew heartily tired of her. He therefore wrote her one of tho eivelest rotes in the world, lamenting that his incli nations were not under his contronl, and that she did not please his fancy ; and propo sing, therefore, that they should separate, uiiil live on comfortable, friendly, speaking terms. With this “ comfortalilu arrange ment,” the Princess, who was a very oblig ing, good-natured woman,' was fain to com ply, more especially as she could not help herself, and they accordingly lived for seve ral years in the pleasantest manner imagina ble. The Prince consoled himself by a sc ries of little attentions to certain dowagers and fat ladies about the court ; (for he was remarkably fond of ladies a little tut and old ;) and the Princess was left to console herself with the comforts of religion ; so bountifully recommended to unfortunate wives, when we take all other comforts away. In the midst of this halcyo 1 security, while he, good easy man, was hugging himself, no doubt, at the comfortable arrangement he had made, and supposing that his wife was mortifying the llesh, and keeping a perpetu al jour mail're, it was whispered in his ear, that she was now and then a little bounteous of those charms which he had treated with such neglect. This at once aroused the ge nerous indignation of the Prince.: all the proud ideas which a husband has of property in his wife, rushed at once to his mind. He felt that glow of territorial jealousy which some, lordly landholder fuels, who, after suf fering a rich and fertile, bottom to lie neglec ted, imploughed and unsown, is all at once, kindled into a deadly ire and a poignant sense 61’ injury, by some lawless intruder settling on the skirts of his possession. However careless a man may be of his own conduct, he is always choice of the conduct of his wife ; for it would appear that a married man wears his honor by proxy; committing the brittle ware entirely to the safe keeping of his spouse. He may range and gambol about without jeopardizing it in the least ; but one false step from her, and tho frail commodity is cracked forever. Thus it was with the great and highmind- «id Prince in question ; for his own misdeeds he never could condescend to blush ; but he was tremblingly alive to the immaculate de portment of his wife. He might commit a thousand follies with the fat dowagers about his court, and there was no harm done ; but tor her to falter from the strict path ofconju- gal fidelity, notwithstanding that she was left to tread it unprotected and alone, was an ir reparable injury to his feelings and his honor. To satisfy the Prince on the subject of his doubts, ail enquiry was set on foot, into the -stic t-omUIC* of the Princess, which was of “The Meat* o' tho word may be some imsappi ehens. u _ dt lie ate among your render*, ‘■‘U perfect knowledge «f pure English in this country, it may be worthwhile to mcntio the genuine nature of this investigation. This, therefore, was a grand court ot inqui sition, where four grave old dignitaries of tile empire sat for some weeks, with spectacles on their nose, curiously prying into Hie pri vate conduct and domestic history, of a so cial free-hearted young Princess; full of youth and animal spirits, deserted by her husband, and abandoned, in a strange land, to her own discretion, or her own passions, whichever might happen to preponderate. In the course of this scrutiny they seem to have followed her with the perseverance ot veteran terriers, thro’all her little linkings, .tUlinktnirs flirtations, rambles, tete-d-ti tes and intimacies ; listening at the key-hole o her parlour; peeping into her boudoir and bedchamber, turning up the toilet and the valance, to see if, preadventure, some favor ed gallant might not lie concealed beneath , questioning her associates, foi.imen’ Chiim- ber-maids, physicians, laundresses, inti tiding with unsparing curiosity into aM those secret mysteries with which the modesty of the sex enshrouds itself, and from the exposure ot which it shrinks in agonized delicacy. I have occasionally noticed, on a trial of a delicate nature, some grey-headed old law yer, of liquorish propensities, extremely mi nute in his questions about facts and circum stances which had no bearing on the princi pal question, but which seemed marvellously to tickle his prurient sensibilities ; so these venerable statesmen seemed to have dwelled with fond prolixity on the scandalous narra tives given by certain ot the Princess s goo friends and faithful domestics; they seemed to chuckle whenever they started a new anec dote ; and there was a curtain blue chamber in the Princess’s mansion, into which they seem te have had *» 6«*»t * bgaltcriag to peep, as had Fatima to pry into that of the redoubtable Blue Beard. Ah this was done ' v *thout the Princess knowing any thing of the universal ransack and rummage that was gofngon throughout her household, and without her having the least intimation of the foul charges alledged against her. . * forbear going into the particulars of this inquisition, the details of which are of too delicate a nature to be openly discussed : k. are only fit to lie slyly moused over in cor ners where indeed the book seems chiefly to have been read and whero modesty may do what it pleases, so it be not detected. It is suflicient to say, that they acquitted the Princess of the nigh crime of infidelity ; but then they found her guilty of silting on the carpet instead of a chair, eating enormous suppers of potted lampreys, fried onions and potatoes, giving a lady of quality the lie di rect, and of slandering the whole family of her illustrious Lord as being ill made ; and having plum pudding faces. These I must confess were grievous sins in a Princess, but I can in some measure excuse them, in cun- sequence of the bad example of the royal hi noble personages around her ; who seem in plain truth, to have been very vulgar and dissolute in their manners. Nay, 1 do not think I could find it in my heart to be angry with her even had she been guilty of the foul crime laid to her charge; seeing the .hu miliating provocations she had suffered from him, for whom she had abandoned her coun try, her family and friends. And here 1 cannot but observe, merely by way of general remark, what will apply as well to Plcbeans as Princes, that the errors and frailties of a wile are very often imputa ble to tho misconduct of a husband. He. who discharges faithfully and affectionately, the obligations of the marriage vow ; who protects, honors, loves and cherishes his wife, will almost invariably meet with affection be. fidelity in return. Whatever may be assert ed by licentious satirists who write more from their own jaundiced imaginations than from actual observation, tho principles of conjugal fidelity and affection are more pe culiar to the female sex than to ours—in as much as they are bound to us by their na tural helplessness and dependence, and the necessity of protection ; by the tenderness of their natures which readers it necessary to their happiness, that they should love and bo loved; by the opinions of society, and the irretrievable infamy that attends a fe male falsehood. Protect them, and they cling to you with gratitude, and with that fond idea of securi y with which the weak take shelter under the protection of the strong ; love and cherish them, and they re turn the. affection with all the fervour and constancy of unhackneyed, undivided hearts, that dare not wander. And when we con sider that a man, particularly in the higher walk of society, rarely enters into Ihe mar ried state until he lias run his youthful ca reer of folly and dissipation; worn out his heart by a series of caprices, perhaps un worthy attachments ; withered the liesliuess of his affections, and blunted the fine edge of bis feelings, by an indiscriminate inter course with tile world; impaired, perhaps his constitution by riot ami revelry— and in a word tamed tile generous spirit, the high sensibilities, the moral excellencies, and phy sical perfections of his nature; when we con sider this depreciation of the whole being, surely the least indemnification that he can make for the vast disparity between this wreck of nature’s bounties and the stuck ol youth, beauty, innocence, tenderness of feel ing, and singleness of heal t which the female brings into tho marriage compact, is to de vote himself exclusively to her cuinlort and her happiness. I do not pretend to say how die account stood in this respect, between the Prince and Princess, who are the hero and heroine ol this singular story. Certain it is, that he hud been notorious for his excesses before bis marriage, and that afterwards while bis Princess, repelled from her husband’s arms, denied the comforts and enjoyments of con nubial love, was pilling in comparative soli tude and disgrace, he was indulging in all the licentiousness of a licentious court, and open ly plunging in debaucheries, that were the talk and scandal of the nation. Under such circumstances I should not have thought it much cause of wonder that a young female, full of her wrongs, full of her sex, full of the passions and weakness of hu man nature ; should have forgotten the dig nity of her station, especially as she had been deprived of its external show arid at tendant honors; should have forgotteu her duties to a husband, who seemed so totally to have forgotten, or disregarded Ins duties to herself, and should have made light of that virtue which seemed to be so little ro- •’■urded by those around her. If the Prince would refuse Io taste the fruit, which hung ripe and tempting from the tree, I do not see that he had any one Jo blame but lum- ilf, if it fell when another hand shook the boughs. casion either of a change of ministry or of a general revolution. 'i he heats in the house of Commons have not abated, nor is there much re serve of language even in relation to “ the most gracious George IV.” A member of some distinction, Mr. Cree- vey, did not hesitate to speak of “ the vindictive spirit of the King,” and to as sert that “ his Majesty, to be entitled to the remedy of divorce, must come with clean hands into court.” We observe that the London Courier of the 7th July refuses to report some parts of tins gen tleman’s speech, ou tne ground of their being too indecorous and disloyal for re petition. Another well-known member, Mr, Bennett, held tiie following lan guage : " I he people knew that all was set tled beforehand ; that it was determined to convict the queen. The boldest man might shudder at the consequences of u v erdict so given. The situation of the queen is desolate and unprotected, and wtio on the other hand is opposed to tier t In one word, it was the King of this coun try : the muster, not, thank God! ol our lives and properties, but cxercisiug a direct and positive influence over that class of society who were to decide upon her fate : possessing an unlimited influ ence over the very House in which she was to he tried.” Lord Castiereagh threw himself de votedly between the monarch and his blunt assailants, with the Me Ale adsum qui fed, asserting that “it was to the Ministers and not to the King that the disaster of the enquiry was to be attri buted,” und that “ nothing could be less vindictive or mure accommodating, than the conduct of the illustrious personage.” These are fictions or tactics of govern ment, like the maxim, the king can do no wrong, w hich none but the most tiery or uncouth, even among the Opposition, could hesitate to sanction and respect.— f here would seem, however, to be a disposition in the counsel of the queen, to throw off this restraint'. The follow ing extracts from the professional remon strance of one of them, Mr. Denman, a- gainst the course of proceedings in tiie House of Lords, delivered July 6th, at the bar of the House, will shew that his Majesty has some reason to tremble, al though it may be that these dreadful in timations vvei’e made merely in terror- cm. “ The royal character of both par ties to this suit must be laid aside ; and, in considering in what respects the con jugal contract bail been violated, and the consequences that ought to result, it would be lit that the House should strict ly examine what had been tiie conduct of bulk the exalted individuals concerned. It would be its duty to examine whether the wife had no reason to complain— whether any circumstance of recrimina tion could he advanced—anil whether the abandonment und destitution of the w ife, if it had not cleared her of moral guilt, had not at least deprived the hus band of liis remedy. “He entreated that the same forms and modes pursued in the lower courts should be adopted here, by which the queen should enjoy the fullest opportu nity of vindication .-it the earliest possible moment. She would then he placed in a situation where she might examine how far the conjugal relation had been pre served on both sides—whether it had not been at least first violated by her ac cuser in almost every particular in which a Q,ueen could have a right to complain of her royal husband. Whether after the proof of such allegations, the House would think fit to proceed at all, and to pass the bill upon the table, it was not for him to state ; but if injustice must be done, be trusted it would not be forgot ten that the parties were thus far upon equal terms—they were man and wife ; and if, in the course of what he or his learned friend had said, any thing had dropped which might be thought to bear bard upon the strouger party, he trusted it would be attributed to the zeal they felt in advucating the cause of the weak- rrOM THE NATIONAL GAZFTTE* THE ENGLISH NEWS. We have read London papers of the latest dates, and have little else to report from them than the progress of “ the de licate investigation.” It continued to monopolize attention, kindling at the same time the worst passions and open ing gloomy vistas to the orderly and re ligious part of the British people. The London Courier of the 7th July repre sents the Bill of Pains and Penalties ns fearfully important,” and allcdges that faction is busy in misrepresenting and disordering every tiling.” '1 hat paper seems to be amused with the procedure of some of the Gazettes enlisted on the side of the queen, which congratulate themselves that the adultery charged gainst her is with one person only ! It is stated that the higher classes ofsocie ty keep entirely aloof from her Majes ty ; a circumstance which throws her more immediately upon the multitude and promotes the view* of those intri guers wiio would ttiaka her c«se ’he oc the Queen, in Italy, added that “ with half that sum, he would undertake to blast the character of every woman in the country.” The Queen preserves a firm lone and unaltered countenance; and instructed her couusel on their ap pearance before the House of Lords, the Cth July, to call for an immediate disclosure of the secrets of the Green Bag, and to resist all investigation of ihe charges which they should involve.— IV hen she was oflieidily waited upou with the Bill ol Divorce, she received it, say tiie newspapers, “ with dignified compo sure,” and with rather a singular observ ation—“ 1 am sorry that it comes so late, •is twenty-live years ago it might have been of some use to his .Majesty," She pointed solemnly to Heaven and expres sed her reliance on the justice to be rendered there. This is the language which Shakespeare puls into the mourn of Queen Katherine, when the commis sioners of Henry Y1IL curry her a simi lar notification. “ Heaven is above all yet; there sits a Judge, That no l ing ran loerujit." But, it shows tiie uillcrence of the times in England, that Caroline could not, with any justice, ask, like her meek prede cessor, “Can you think, Lords, That any Englishman dare give me cojiu-el! Vc ou a known mend gainst his Highness - pleasure ?" This “.brave lady” of George IV'. will want for neither counsel nor fiieuds, and may prove, with her auxiliaries, too strong iui nor uege lord and ins cardinal tVoolsey. Mr. Bennett said, in the House of Commons, that “ the discus sion of her case would give a blow to the character ol itin Alonurchy which it might rue to ns latest existence.” Wo think this opinion perfectly just, and even ven ture to surmise, that it will contribute powerfully, by the odium und disgrace ii> which it must implicate tne crown, to hasten that great national! convulsion which is cither to subvert the tnrone or settle it ou a new and more natural ba sis. Turkey. The Grand Seignior and the Pachas appear to be on the very point of mea suring the length of their respective swords, and give dreadful nule of prepa ration. These Pachas would hardly dare, we should presume, thus to attempt to throw off their allegiance, without they had received a previous promise of sup port from some formidable power now remaining behind the curtain, watching the maturity of events in secrecy and in silence. We all know the hereditary ambition of Russia, und what great exer tions were made by Catherine to pros trate the Ottoman Power. We know the vast military preparations of Alexan der— his formidable armies commanded by the best Generals oflbe age, in a state of high and of dangerous discipline Alexander knows further, that here he may strike an effectual blow, without in curring the active jealousy of any Euro pean power. We are strongly inclined to the o|>iuion, that tiie sy niptouis of hos tility manifested by these different Puc- chalics, are only preliminary to some terrible irruption from Russia, when a proper season shall arrive. One of the Pachas, and the most powerful, is said to be ou the point of renouncing his Maho metan faith, and embracing the religion of the Grecian church, or of the Empe ror of Rnsiia. Who knows but what this hostility may lead to gre.it eveifls— perhaps a contest between the cross and crescent—perhaps the erection of Chris tian tqmplcs on the ruins of the Turkish mosques—peril.ips the annihilation of the Mahometan faith. To those who look upon such events as incredible, we will only say, that we live in an age of won ders, in tin era of prodigies, and that this revolution is not tit all more improbable, than that a Corsican corporal should have mounted the throne of the Bourbons.

It will be recollected that at the May session of 161 l), the Legislature of tins slate passed a resolve, auttiorising the Governor to procure a pair of pistols to be presented to Com. Macdoaough, as a testimony of their esteem for him, anil ilso us a incinori tl of their gratitude lor his eminent services in capturing the British fleet on Lake Cliamplttiu. These pistols are now finished, ami we yester day had the pleasure of examining them. They were made by Col. North of Mid dletown, anil nut only do gical credit to him as ail artist, but to the liberality of the state for whom ttiey were made.— The mourning is all ofpure gold ami put on with an unsparing hand. T hu devi ces and engravings are by the Graphic Company of this ciiy, \\ e are told that the actual expense which lias been laid o it upon them is somewhat over u thou sand dollars. T lie hurt els are formed of hard and soft iron, and wrought after the manner of the Damascus blades, so as to present a beautiful variety of chance figures over the whole surface. The stock, which reaches about halfthe length of the barrel, is made of American .black walnut of an uncommonly rich dark co lor ; the half-stock is of solid gold. Up on the guard is a tine head of Minerva in raised work of gold. On the thumb- piece is an eloguul full length figure of a warrior, in bass-relief; bis sword is rais ed, and he stands in the attitude of as sault ; in his left hand he holds a shield bearing the arms of Connecticut. In the background is a view of the ocean, and a ship of war riding at anchor. On the back plate to the lock is a fine represen tation of the engagement between the American & British tleets on lake Chain- plain, together with the surrounding sce nery. The engraving is not only re markably good in itself, but is an accu rate view of the most interesting mo ment of the buttle. Upon the main stay of the Saratoga, near the foremast, is re presented the gallant cock which there took und preserved his station through the engagement. Trilling as this inci dent may seem, it is thought by the com modore to have contributed not a little 10 the success of the battle. At every broadside lie bravely crowed defiance to the British lion, which the sailors grave ly considered as a sure omen of victory. The barrels are inlaid with a plate of gold containing the following inscription Voted by the General Assembly of the state of Connecticut, to Commodore Thomas Macdonougb.” There are se veral other ornaments on them, all of which are of the most perfect w orkman- hip. AGRICULTURAL. Receipt for making Cider, and preserving it sound fur years. All apples tit to be eaten will make good cider. The grand secret is in clean sing it from the tilth and dregs as early as possible. Each sort of apples are to lie beaten and pressed by themselves. Two kinds ol juice, both good, would, if mixed, often make bad cider. Throw out ail imperfect, sorry, and sun-burnt apples as well as dust and trash : beat your apples before much mellowed, as they lose their strength, soundness, mid spirit if too mellow. Let them stand half a day after being beaten, before put into the press, then press them slowly, discontinue it as soon as the juice dis charged appears to grow thin und watery. The advantage of slow pressure is in making the liquor run pure. Let your casks, previously well cleansed, be tilled quite full to permit the froth and pummice to discharge itself at the bung. When the fermentation abates, cover the hung closely with something that may be lifted by the fixed air that escapes during the future fermentation. In a week rack off the cider carefully, ceasing the moment you observe it run muddy.' Now stop the cask more firmly. In ten days rack it off a second time ; and in fifteen days the third time. In every instance the casks are to be clean and perfectly filled, and when filled for the lust time to be bunged close, placed in a deep dry cel lar, never be moved until drnwn for use March, and then one racking, or at most two, will be sufficient. Be very careful that no water, not even the little the! w ill adhere nfter rinsing a cask, it mixed with the cider. The smallest quantity of rain water will render cider unfit to keep. The addition of any quantity of distilled spirits is not only useless but in jurious. This plan is the result of long experience, and its success justifies commending it to the public. Various plans for clarifying cider to prevent its souring by means of milk, isinglass, scalding and scumming, filtering through sand, 4tc. are found useful, but frequent racking or drawing is far pre ferable to any other method. Peach Trees.—An effectual method of preserving Peuch Trees from decay has been recently discovered in Virginia. It is cheap and simple, and well worth an experiment. It consists in binding a small bundle of to bacco around the body of the tree, just above the ground. This must he done usually •- bout, the middle of July, but it may lie worth I lie trial during the whole month of August, It has the effect to destroy the eggs that are deposited by ao insect at the root of the tree, which produce worms that prey upon its juices, and soon destroy it. Agricultural.—Mr. Isaac C. Jones, in a lute communication to the Philadelphia A- gricultural Society, relates the result of an experiment he made last season, in substi tuting rye straw for stable manure in raising bis crop of potatoes. The crop was raised in drills. The seed potatoes were laid at the bottoms of the furrows, a part were, then covered with a moderate quantity of dry straw, the remainder with stable manure, and the manure wus then, in both instances, covered with the plough. He planted the tilth of May, apd harvested the list of Oc tober. That part of the crop which was ma nured with straw, he says, was fully equal in product, and quality to the other. The sea son was very dry in the vicinity of Philadel phia, where the crop was raised. YCYREItKV.

This extra ordinary process, in every stage of its pro gress, is watched with extreme anxiety, and the power and influence of one party com pared with the utter helplessness of the oth er, except so far as innocericy is her shield, imparts to the public mind a degree of watch ful jcalousv that has never before been ex ceeded. ft is to Ibis cause, combined with the constitution of the secret committee, that the report of that body hus had very little influence in altering the favorable impression entertained in tin- country towards the queen; and the Bill of Pains and Penalties introdu ced into the upper house of putliament haa been equally inoperative in that way.” The manufacturer* and artizans of Nu remberg have presented an address to the king of Bavaria, representing the extreme distress of that once flourishing city. Out f 1)0,000 persons, 96,000 are out of employ. Lt. Gen. Viscount Donuadien Iihs been imprisoned in Paris, for suin« political of fence. High Treason.—The grnnd juries at Stir ling and Glasgow, have found Bills for high treason against 25 persons, whose trails were to take place immediately. Lord Castiereagh stated in Parliament, thHtthe reports respecting the late King’s private property were erroneous—that in stead of amounting to a million, it would little exceed £100,000. London, July 6. The Bascia of Scutari, has, by order of the Grand Seignior, marched against the revolted Pacha of Juiiina, w ith 15,000 in fantry and 0000 cavalry. The Pacha has taken the town of Salona, which was garri soned by the Turkish troops, put the garri son to (he sword, and sacked the city. The Turkish flotilla have taken a vessel from Leghorn, with warlike stores for thc.He- volters. Ali Pacha had applied to~Sir Tho mas Maitland to know wln iher the Btitish would restrain the Turkish fleet, according to some former arrangement.’ Two ships of the line have been lately launched at Con stantinople. Accounts from Majorca are to June 17, which state, “ P alma continues exempt from the disease which desolates Sari Servera and Arta, and it is much feared all the inhabi tants in the latter places will fall victims.” The Algerine squadron rema n, d in port June 2, ready for sea. It was conjectured it was to cruise against the Spanish trade.
