DESCRIPTION
OF THE NEW CHARIOT, USED BY
LORD JERSEY,

AS MASTER OF THE HORSE TO

THE PRINCE OF WALES.

THE body of this superb chariot is painted on
a yellow ground with gold stripes, yellow foli-
age, and a broad srize border, composed of the
arms and crest of the Prince of Wales , with or-
naments of festoons and oak-leaves, heightened
with gold, on a rich Antwerp blue; the royal
arms, garter, and supporters in ermine mantles,
on the doors and front and back of the chariot.
On the side pannels, the Order of the Garter,
with his Royal Highness's peculiar crest and co-
ronets in ermine mantles; the seat-cloth and lin-
ing crimson velvet, with broad gold lace, deep
fringes, festoons, and tassel, on which the royal
arms are richly embroidered. The carriage, ele-
gantly carved, is a crane-neck, the fore-ends of
which are composed of laurel, and the hind of
palm branches, encircling medallions bearing
the Prince of Wales's crest, and terminating
with a plume of feathers, enclosing the springs
with stars and the Order of the Garter. On the
front foot-board in alto relievo is the representa-
tion of a wild boar-hunt: the transom bears the
head of Apollo, with emblems of that deity. The
back part consists of winged horses, the orna-
mental parts of which, displaying a head of Mer-
cury, support and enclose the springs, and on
and Hercules's club, in the centre, is the crest of
the Prince of WALES, with medallions, plumes
of feathers, and stars; two elegant cornucopias,
form the wings, and the whole enriched with
drapery of festoons and oak-leaves. The cranes
and wheels are ornamented with [..]
leaves, and other devices; the harness is like wise
[..] executed with various ornaments in
silver, and is a great addition to the splendor of
the Chariot.

This Chariot was at first designed for the Prin-
cess of WALES, but being only suitable for state
occasions, it has been appropriated for Lord
JERSRY, Master of the Horse.

His ROYAL HIGHNESS'S taste has been very
much displayed in the beauty of the ornaments,
and the ingenious invention in the construction
of the pedestals, which inclose the part of the
hind springs that has hitherto been deemed un-
sightly, does great credit to the maker.

The Levee, yesterday, being the first after
the Royal Marriage, was numerously attended.
Among the persons present were the Archbishops
of CANTERBURY and YORK; Bishops of BRIS-
TOL, ROCHESTER, and ELY; Prince of ORANGE,
Prince of HESSE, Swedish and Spanish Ambas-
sadors, Earl of GUILDFORD, Dukes of BED-
FORD and ROXBURGH; Marquisses TITCH-
FIELD and CORNWALLIS; Lords BOSTON, HAR-
[..]
LORD MAYOR and SHERIFFS, Alderman NEWN-
MAM and ANDERSON; Sir JOHN SCOTT< no role > , the
Right Honourable CHARLES JAMES FOX< no role > , and a
great number of naval and military Officers.
The Gentlemen of the Prince's houshold were
all in their Royal favours.

Last night their MAJESTIES and suite, accom-
panied by three of the PRINCESSES, went to the
concert of Antient Music in the Haymarket .

Sir SYDNEY SMITH< no role > in the DIAMOND, who
on Tuesday failed from the Downs, is immedi-
ately to go upon the secret expedition so long
spoken of; he has with him seven of the largest
gun-boats ever built, and two sloops of war, the
AMPHION and the CHILDERS.

Mr. WILBERFORCE'S formal opposition to the
policy of the war, at the same time that he sup-
ports all the means of pursuing it and all the other
measures of Mr. PITT, may be so useful to the
Minister, that it is even thought to be recom-
mended by him. We have at last discovered,
that peace should be shortly made; and what is
this sort of opposition, but an [..]
those, who would con [..] Mr. PITT in the
retraction of all his plans, and would entrust the
negotiation to him, rather than to Mr. Fox? Is
this qualified sort. of opposition, at such a period
as the present, unwelcome to the Minister?

Lord SPENCER'S endeavour to account for the
re-appearance of the Censeur and Ca Ira in the
Toalon feet, after their destruction had been
[..] by Lord HOOd, was the boldest attack we
ever knew upon COMMON SENSE. Because in
15 years we have nearly built a new ship, and

The IMPREGNABLE, of 98 guns, is this evening
came into harbour to resit.

Captain MACKENZIE is appointed to the
SHEERNESS of 44 guns in the room of Captain
FAIRFAX, who is appointed to the REPULSE of
64 guns.

The SHEERNESS, of 44 guns, and FURY sloop
of war, are expected to sail in a few days for the
Coast of Guinea.

The mob-re-assembled last evening, but owing
to the timely interference of about 300 Consta-
bles, who were sworn for the occasion, and the
soldiers being under arms, they were dispersed
about ten o'Clock, having committed few depre-
dations. It is to be hoped there will be no more
such disagreeable meetings, but it is at present
very doubtful.

The payment of the Prince of WALES's debts
splendour, it has been urged, is necessary to his
dignity. In our opinion his dignity could not
be more injured than by such a measure. What
man of true pride would think his dignity in
creased by an addition of shew and parade,the
very circumstances, that constitute grandeur in
the opinion of the lowest and most servile atten-
dants? What man of humanity would permit
such an addition to be wrung partly from the
slender incomes of the industrious and the poor,
even down to the samished wretch, that sweeps
his chimneys; What honest man would allow a
hint to be given him of a dignity, that is inde-
pendent of morality? The PRINCE, we know
is too laudably proud, too humane and too no-
nest to desire such a measure. His deb [..] will
be paid partly by the interference of Ms MA-
JESTY, and partly by annual installments from
his own income.

The banishment of BARRERE, COLLOY
D'HERBOIS, and BILLAUD DE VARENNES, is
said to be to the French Settlement of Guyana in
Africa.

The Provost and Fellows of Trinity College,
Dublin for trade the Students to [..]
dress, which they had voted, to Mr. GRATTAN.
It was, however, presented, five days after it
was voted.

The personal attachments of the late Captain
FAULKNOR are known to have been on the side
of opposition; but this Circumstance, we are sure,
had no influence in inducing so many friends of
Ministry to dislike the erection of a monument
his memory.

It is remarkable that, upon a topic so purely
naval as the question of voting a monument, or
not, to Captain FAULKNOR, not one Lord of
the Admiralty should have delivered an opinion,
and that the only official speakers in the late de-
bate should be those military personages, the Se-
cretary at War, and the Pay master of the Army.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at
the India-house , when the vacancies made by
Messrs. PATTLE and EWE'S disqualifications were
declared, and the following Comanders took
leave: ROBERT BURROWES< no role > , of the Francis ;
KENEAKO SMITH< no role > , of the Minerva; and RI-
CHARD HUTT< no role > , of the Hilsborough, for Madras
and Bengal. The Court adjourned at five o'clock

When the Royal Family were walking from
the Lodge to the palace at Windsor on Monday,
two very respectable female quakers approached
his MAJESTY, and the eldett, after taking off
her bonnet, said "that she had come on purpose
to express her congratulations on the late happy
occasion." She concluded with these words,
"Give us PEACE, and the Lord will bless thee."
The King listened to her with much attention.

Whatever complaints the country may justly
make against Mr. PITT for his treatment of Earl

COWES,

April 14.

Arrived the PERSEVERANCE, TITTLE, from
New York , which place she left on the 2d ult.
with rice and other goods to this port, for orders.

On his passage he fell in with, about fifty
leagues to the westward of Scilly, three French
frigates and a sloop of war; and two days after,
spoke four English frigates, who were in quest of
them; and if lucky enough to come up, it is
hoped will be able to give a good account of
them. It is supposed that the English ships were
the Flying Squadron under the command of Sir
EDWARD PELLEW< no role > .

Government having ordered the sale of all the
cargoes of corn on board the Dutch ships in the
different Forts of the kingdom, 14 or 1500 quar-
ters of wheat, in very good order on board a
Dutch ship here, are expected soon to come to
market, and it is hoped, with similar sales in other
places, will tend greatly to lower the price of
corn, to the relief of the poor. There is every
reason to believe, that there is no real carcity of
corn in this kingdom, as it is well known that
many farmer have considerable quatitities in
store, which they do not bring to market in ex-
pectation of the price being still higher.

Yesterday the Sheriffs of London , accompa-
nied by the City Remenbrancer, went in their
state chariot from Guildhall to St. James's , and
being introduced to his MAJESTY by the Lord in
Waiting, his MAJESTY was pleased to appoint
Friday next (at half past one o'clock, to receive
the City A [..] marriage of his Royal

CE [..] CAR [..]

Mr. R [..] suggestion against the Bill to en-
force atte [..] ance in the House of Commons ,
that it [..] prevent persons in office from ac-
cepting fe [..] s, was somewhat a retrograde argu-
ment; cause, to say nothing of the impro-
priety having the Minister's conduct judged
of [..] his immediate friends, other Members
would, perhaps, not think their consequence, or
comfort abridged, if they were less subject to the
[..] owing of the official Gentlement!

Amongst the most pitiable objects of Mr. PITT'S
poll tax, are the heads of briesless Barristers, to
which, indeed, there is some notion of granting
an exemption, as is done to uninhabited houses,
on account of their empriness!

There are many sad stories in circulation, of
dinners and suppers given on account of frank-
ing merits. One, Which we are glad to contra-
dict, is, that a very industrious gentleman was
thought wor [..] , at this sort of labour, two meals
a day, and [..] beer!

Lord GARLIES set off, on Tuesday, for Bath,
and joins the LIVELY frigate the 28th instant

Cork.

According to letters from Mittaw, the Duke
of COURTis still at Petersburg , where the
affairs of his Duchy are yet under consideration.
The Circle of Pilnitz, which formerly was im-
mediately under the Republic of Poland, is now
to be under the same government with Courland.
The Deputies from Courland to Petersburg , are
soon expected back to the Diet at Miltaw. These
Deputies are fix in number, and were sent from
Miltaw on the 20th of March, with a public
declaration, signed by the principal Nobles and
Gentry of the Duchies of Courland and Semigal-
lia, in which they renounce all connection with
Poland, and submit themselves immediately to
the government of Russia.

The Austrian General has given public notice
to French emigrants in Alsace, who may be
willing to take advantage of the late "Decree of the
National Convention, that they may he for-
warded on their Journey from seven in the morn-
ing till five in the evening, by Lauterburg-
Kohl, and [..] breisach.

As a remarkable proof of the [..]
[..] , an [..] hare,
which Pennant says never descends from its na-
tive hills, was found, on Thursday the 16th ult.
by the Duke of GORDON'S hounds, in the low
part of the county of Moray, within two miles of
the sea-coast, where none of that kind were ever
known to have been seen before, nor are any of
them to be wet with in common, but upon moun-
tains upwards of 20 miles distant from that place,
The hare was quite white, except the forehead,
the tips of the ears, and the under sides of the
feet, which were like the common hair.

BOXING.

The battle between JACKSON and MENDOZA
took place yesterday, upon a stage at Hornchurch;
in Essex . JOHNSON was second to JACKSON, and
WARD to MENDOZA. The contest continued
ten minutes and a half, and consisted, for the
whole time; of hard blows, without shifting,
MENDOZA nearly lost the sight of both eyes, and
was beaten. JACKSON was wounded over the
left eye, but was not otherwise much hurt, being
from the beginning too powerful for his antago-
nist.

The odds were considerably in favour of
JACKSON from the beginning of the contest.

OLD BAILEY INTELLIGENCE.

Yesterday the Sessions commenced at the Old
Bailey , before the LORD-MAYOR, Lord KEN-
YON, Baron THOMPSON, Mr. Justice Rook [..]

RAFE.

John Brown< no role > was [..] for [..]
Smith, a girl under the age of ten year, with in-
tent to commit a rape.

Mary Smith< no role > said, that she lived with her
aunt. On the 10th of February she accidentally
met the defendant, who persuaded her by pro-
mises of giving her gingerbread, to go home with
him to his lodgings, when he committed the
offence stated in the indictment. Upon cross-
examination, she contradicted herself in many ma-
terial circumstances, and afforded great room to
suspect that the whole story was a wicked fa-
brication to extort money from the defendant.

The Jury found the defendantNot Guilty.
