The Prince of Wales gives daily proofs that he has a mind which soars above those little punctilios that come under the denomination of decency. On Wednesday he diverted himself with driving Mrs. Jordan about Richmond, and its vicinity.
An illustrious Personage will listen to no terms of accommodation which have not for their basis the restoration of a certain Countess to the supreme controul of his Consort's household; to which an injured and insulted P—s most solemnly and becomingly refuses to accede.
Lady Jersey, though she still retains the nominal office of Lady of the Bedchamber to the Princess of Wales, has certainly received her dismission from the Public, who, as well as her Royal Mistress, have dispensed with her attendance at Carlton-House.
