" I have the honour to subscribe myself, " Your most obedient humble Servant, (Signed) " J. CARTWRIGHT. " James's-street, West, April, 1811." Upon this proauction we shall shortly take an opportunity of very seriously commenting ; in the mean time, we do not heal- • tate to pronounce many parts of it laboriously insidious and highly inflammatory ; and we consider ourselves greatly in debted to our friend, who, by procuring us a copy of it, has en abled us to expose the Ilurdettite part of this private Assembly. Among the Members of this Assembly we perceive some very respectable characters, who, we are persuaded, could never have atnctipned the language of Major Cartwright's letter, and who, we trust, will disavow all participation in his specious Burdettite plot. Of the views of this faction, Mr Cobbett, a few years since, treated moat ably and observed with much force, " that "he should think hignelf the n r stupid ass that ever browsed " a thistle, were he to doubt one moment as to the object kept ." in view by them."—Speaking of the sentiments of Sir Francis Bnrdett, who leagued with Major Cartwright •in this business, he says : "To reason with such a man would be absurd ; he must be treated with silent contempt, or be combated with wea pons very different.lnnn a pen : however, we declare our abhor rence o/ the principles and cr.uluct of the mon, who, in alluding to the British Government, speaks of ' hired magistrates, parlia-* mentaand Kings;' we DI: rtsr and LOATHE : 4 r Francis Bur - I dett, we would trample upMS him, for his false, base, insolent, insinuations and assertions." Still treating of the views and objects of the Reformists, Mr. Cobbett thus proceeds : "I shall stop here to make an observation which ought to be very well attended to by the whole of the British nation, and that is, that all the revolutionists, while they are endeavouring to excite the people of Great Britain and Ireland to revolt against the Government, pre en,. great fidelity to their country, and bydty to their King. They pretend to have nothing in view, but' the good, the henour, the permanent glory of the Em pire.' They propose to 6 amend, and not to destroy;: to make the people truly happy, and ' his Gracious Majesty truly Great.' Their stalking•horSe is it E I:0 a al, but their real bject is the ovz.a. "VW ROW 011 HE MONARCHY ; a scramble for power and riches: and this intention, should they succeed, they will boast of, with sts unblushing a front a Lauelerdale's friend Brissot and his gang, after they had made the: exsiting of-the insurrection of the itali of August one of the crime! . ; for which they put their So . stertii;n to death, boasted of having excited the insurrection themselves!. This is one of the blackest deeds' of Republican )trance; hut let the people of Great Britain be assured, that in stead of abhorrence, it has served to awaken enutiation in the minds of the degraded and desperate factiun r who have still the hypocrisy to bellow for REFORM." NlAtociv tAnTES.—On the Ist of May, according to annual Custom, under the Will of Mr. Raise, fo7meriy a Erewer, in Wapping, six Maiden Women, educated at has asyllini, at Pawden .tields, Wapping, mit the Trustees at the Schonl-house, to draw lots, agreeable to th‘ will of the founder, for the prize of 1001. at a marriage portion.

Yesterday the whole of the members composing the Regency Council were summoned to assemble at the Queen's Lodge Windsor, in order to hold a consultation with her MAJESTY as to the state of the KING'S health. At eleven o'clock the members arrived, and immediately proceeded to the Council Chamber. Her MAJESTY presided, and there were present — The Duke of MONTROSE, Archbishops of CANTEIt• BURY and Yoiu; ; Lords WINCHELSEA, AYLESFORDI ELDON, ELLENBOROUGH ; and Sir WILLIAM GRANT. Lord Mort Tow, her Majesty's Chamberlain, offici ated - as Clerk to the Council. The whole of the Physicians underwent a long examination, which was not finished till near four o'clock. This evi dence corroborated the happy effects the K.:NO had experienced in the indulgence of interviews with the Royal Family, The Archbishop of YORK, Lord‘ WINcnELsr..A and AYLESEOWD, had likewise - au diences with his MAJESTY ; and we have been in formed that those Noblemen affirmed Me propriety of the KING bting entrusted -with the moderate exer cise of his Kindy duties. The . P.RINCE R EGEN r is eXpeCt7d at Windsor this day. A. Messenger was dispatched to his RoYAL 1-11c - aitiLss, supposed to hate arisen from some im portant decision of the Queen's Council. • FALL QV BADAJCZ! After the surrender of Olivenca, the forces under Marshal- BERESFORD were e:labled to turn the whole of their power against Badajoz; and these Ao had attended to the successful progress of the Allied Armies both in Portugal and Spain within the last two months, confidently calculated on the speedy fall of Badajoz. This opinion was promulgated, and all concurred in the justness of the conclusion. Such being the case, it was natural to expect that if our' hopes were not soon realized, rumours would go abroad, anticipating .the intelligence , confidently espect;d ; and such has been the • ~i~.. • ,
