Mr. H-'se, Mr. Canning's private secretary^
..¦ down to Yarmouth upon a mission
to Louis the XVIIlth.
The Edir.burg paper of Thursday, says,
«' Ye'te.day the Lord Provost received, by
a king's messenger, a letter from x\w secre-
tary of »tate, informing that his majesty had
given permission to the count De Lisle, his
iamily and suit, to occupy the apartments
in H-lyrood House, which were formerly
inhabited by his royal highness Monsieur,
uel desiring his royal highness to cause the
necessary arrangements to be made."
Upon tins subject of the arrival of Louis
XVIIlth in this country, the following state-
ment has been published in a repectable
morning paper:
" Prom what cause the circumstance arose
we cannot pretend to say, but certain it ;s,
that, notwithstanding the statements in the
n journals of the intention of Louis
XVIIlth. to visit this country, our govern-
ment, so far from having receiver! any advice
of such an intention ou the part of his
Christian majesty, had every '-reason to con-
clude from the information transmitted to
them upon the subject, that the reports in
foreign papers were altogether unfounded ;
nor was it until the middle of last week
th.it any intimation whatever was received
of the resolution taken by that illustrious
prince to come to this country ; and even
then the communication was received only
through an indirect channel. On this inti-
mation, however, so desirous were ois ma-
jesty and his ministers to afford every ac
commidation, and shew all due attention to
the illustrious stranger, that an express was
instantly sent off to Bdinburg, with orders
for the necessary preparations to be made for
his reception at Hoh'rood House; and as he
was then hoinly expected to reach our
shorag, expresses were sent off to every port
at which it was likely he might touch, with
instructions from the Swedish ambassador
to the captain of the Swedish frigate, freya,
(in which the prince came from Gottenburg)
to proceed to Leith there to land His royal
passer \',e'', where all due attention w mid be
paid t.- hitri', and where proper persons would
be in waiting to conduct him to the Palace
of Holyrood House. Qh the arrival of the
V . ,1 at Yarmouth, so far from any indeea
rous proceeding; having taken place, the
instructions of the Swi dish ambassador were
sent on board ; but the illustrious prince, on
being informed of his destined residence,
and that it was provided for hirh as a safe
and hospitable asylum, refused to proceed
thither, observing, that he wanted no asylum;
¦ that, contrary to report, that it was not
necessity that induced him to come to this
country ; that he had a safe asylum in the
Russian territory, where he had left his wife
and niece ; that the object of his journey
wag of a nature purely political, arid imme-
diately concerned his interest as king of
France ; and that rather than go to Scotland,
or be treated otherwise than as a sovereign,
claiming the aid of Britain to recover the
sceptre" of France, he wou'd return to
Russia."
F£L)£HAL GAZETTE.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12.
The communication from our correspon-
dent at New York, in this evening's Ga-
zette, contains very unpleasant news from
the Mediterranean. It will be seen that the
British and French are trying who can do
us " most hymn."
Another article in this letter will excite
considerable interest. It is said, that the
French have taken Lisbon, and the Portu-
guese court have fled to South- Ameiica. It
is so common a thing for Bonaparte to take
possession of an independent state, that
little notice is taken of such an occurrence
—but if the English do the same thhig.. our
indignation knows no bounds. We would
.not justify the wrongs and outrages com-
mitted by any foreign power ; there c.in be
but one opinion ou them. But "equal and
exact justice" demands that a. neutral, to be
honorable and honest, should be impartial.
And if our government should so act, the
citizens ought so to think. It is certainly
no less a crime to " steal" a whole country,
than to " steal the Danish Navy."
If the fact should appear, that France has
" stolen" Portugal, and expelled its rightful
possessors, (of which we have no doubt) we
Should be pleased to hear the opinions of
those who declaimed loudest against the
Bobbery of Copenhagen. We are the mine
desirous of hearing them, because it has been
Jong believed to have been Bonaparte's in-
tention to seize Portugal, and yet fie has not
received nsuch democratic reprobation in
advance.
Now, gentlemen, we have never palliated
Btitish aggression ; do not yo'tsrselve apolo-
gize for tin's " horrible" robbery by France.
