PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. LI7L - i. 9. What I mentioned in my two preceding letters as likely to happen, has at last taken place. The "old QUEEN"- that scourge of the people—is dead. She departed this life about four o'clock, p. m. on the 7th of this month, not having completed the 55th year of her age. The complica tion of her diseases rendered her last moments painful in the extreme—her body was swelled to a most enormous siie ! . To the last moment, she held on, addressing her wretched son MiGum,—the wicked, mischievous, and savage MIGUEL—by the endearing name of " Minka Perola"—i. e. " a gem of the first water." He, how ever, preferred his own obscene amusements ; and, in the awful moment of his mother's death, displayed an insen sibility and recklessness which is without parallel, per haps in the history of man. Let the " old QUEEN," be what she might—still it was this woman who put the usurped crown upon his cowardly head ; and if he proves to ho the worthy son of such a mother at the last moment, she was alone to blame. It is needless to go into many particulars about such a miserable being ; and I have univ to add that, by her last request, her body is to be deposited at S. Pedro do Sul, in Cintra, whilst a monu ment is to be erected in the chapel of Ramalhao to her memory ; which last place. she gilled to the Jesuits, whom she lately contrived to introduce in flocks ; and in the remembrance of that bleseed order she will, of course, he venerated ! As far as regards political matters, I may mention that SARAIVA, ASSECA'S Secretary, arrived with despatches and immediately after a Council of Ministers was held. In the afternoon orders were issued to the arsenaltolequip, in the greatest haste, two frigates, a corvette, and a brig. This order gave rise to a number of speculations ; but I abstain from noticing any of them by this mail, not being able to ascertain which is entitled to the greatest veracity. The charrua Maia-Cardozo sails on Wednesday first with fifty more illustrious victims to the vengeance of Mna U EL, whose sole crime is attachment and allegiance to their lawful Sovereign. NA VAL INTELLIGENCE. The Lord Nelson, Boyd, from Dublin to Irvine, struck on the Cannon Rock 22d inst. and filled immediately. Only the Mate saved.

COlllll, JAN. 25.—Arrived the Maria, Palmer, from Mauritius NEW ARRANGEMENT of the CABINS el FIRST-RATES. A new arrangement of the °Sure cabins on board ships of 120 guns, is to take place, in consequence of a recommendation to that effect from the late Committee of Naval Officers. The Cskdonia, in dock at this port, and now neatly ready to receive the Port Admiral's flag at Portsmouth, has her cabin disposed on the new plan. In the fore cockpit the junior Lieutenant of the ship, Second Master, and Boatswain, will be on the larboard side; the junior Lieut .of Marines, carpenter, and gunner, on the starboard side. The cabin formerly occupied by the gunner amidships is thrown into the sail•room, which will now extend from the main to the fore hatch ways, thus affording abundance of room for the stowage of all the sails, besides admitting of those belonging to the foremast, &c. being an passed up the fore hatchway. In the after-cockpit there are ca bins on one side for the Mates, the Surgeon's Assistants, Captain's Clerk, the 2d Lieutenant of Marines and Surgeons. On the other side the Midshipmen, the Interpreter, the tat Lieutenant of Marines, the Purser and Purser's Steward. By this disposition two cabins from each side of the middle deck have been taken away, thereby leaving less bulk-bead to be pulled down when the capstan is to be worked, or when the ship is to be cleared for battle. In the latter case It will prove an important advantage; for only persons who are familiar with these things can form any idea of the amazing quantity of fixtures on board large ships, which must be removed before the guns can be left clear for action. Possibly also the placing of so many officers in the fore-cockpit may be intended to operate as a check to any Irregularities, which not =frequently occur in that part of the ship at unseasonable hoon.—Dteetspeet Telegrapt.

Last night there was held a Special General Meeting of the Members at Somerset House, to elect, by ballot, a successor to their late President. At eight o'clock the Members began to assemble, and shortly before ten o'clock the ballots were closed, when the election fell upon MARTIN ARCIIER SHEE, Esq This gentleman MIS one of three individuals, selected by public opinion, as likely to succeed to that honour. The other two were Mr. WILKIE and Mr. Cu ANTII Y : of the former of these his merits are unquestionable, and from his having been previously appointed to succeed the late President as Painter in Ordinary to the Kiwo, his friends confidently anticipated his success. Mr. WILE IE, it was generally understood, had no ambition to fill the Chair : indeed, we very much doubt the fitness of a sculptor for that office, however splendid his talents may be. With fore shortening the most difficult part of the Painter's art, he has nothing to do—and how could be be expected to lecture upon a subject of which, without reproach, he is ignorant ? We may venture to congratulate the lovers of the Arts upon the election of Mr. SHEF.. To his high reputation as an Artist he adds superior literary talents, of which the public have many proofs in verse and prose. It has been admitted, even by the greatest admirers of his lamented predecessor, that his lectures, which con , stitute the principal duty of the President, though I abounding in grace and beauty, were deficient in strength and vigour. From the classic taste and masculine eloquence of Mr. SHEA, we may expect exertions as a lecturer, not inferior to - those which have reflected so much credit upon OPI r., BA nit v, and Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS..—The Royal Academicians who have votes for the election of President, are 40. We have not learned how many of these attended last night, nor the division ; but it has been said, that the number of votes for Mr. WILKIE was only two, a cir cumstance which is not easily reconciled with the expec tation of his success, excited out of tbors. The result of the election will not be officially communicated, until it has received bis MAJESTY'S sanction. ITALY. (1,11011 THE na•vL) In casting an eye upon the geographical configuration, of the little States, the conglomeration of which form. the •oil of itAly ; in calling to mind all the vicissitudes In the circle of which the people of these countries have revolved during a period of nearly half a century, from the philosophic reign of Joseph 11. down to the military oppression under which they are now held by Germany, one asks himself, what can be the thought that lives at the bottom of these bruised muse., the hope that remains in these hearts—t h e intellectual movement that must ferment there? It is not the mendseious gasettes,—in which power flat ters itself with its own pen ;—the apologetical pamphlets which it indite. in its own praise—these mutual adoration. between the masters and the valets, between the shepherd who holds the crook of iron and the dog who bites the flock ; it is not these psi/sable hyperboles of a shameless tyranny that we are to con sult for an answer. Is there a greater chance of arriving at the truth in perusing the books frequently dictated to the picturesque enthusiasm of travel lers by the view of a country full of the ruins of Rome ? Elegant recitals, light and brilliant sketches, reflections of a fine sky and of a country, of which the manners, the habits, the localities, and the situations, contrast, in a striking manner, these agenda of the fo reigner, whom the season of leisure brings, by the caravan, to the banks of the Tiber and of the Arno, speak only of outward appnrances--transtalt only the surface. Behold all that energy and falsehood reveal to us ; on one side the power that weighs upon this country; on the other these wander• ing painters, too often pre-occupied with themselves, and who launch int their course unfaithful sketches which we god again in their albums. Let us not then be in haste to pronounce boldly that the in. 'effectual and political physiognomy of Italy is effaced, and that the discouragement has created the resignation in these countries, where arbitrary power rolls its iron masses over a scattered popu lation. Liberty does not prescribe itself; thought lives beneath silence, like vegetation under the snow, and the Austrian bayonets, which form a maker, cordon between France and Italy, have not extirpated the fruitful seeds which the school of the eighteenth century has sown in this land of monks. This school, without doubt, which destroys and does not build, which uses the hammer and oot the trowel ; which dreads power, and of which the proscription propagates the doctrines ; this ar dent expression of the misery to the people ; this disorganising spirit, modified by the constitutional institutions of the country, still prevail in the territory of Italy. And could this be otherwise there, where the reigning principle Is nothing but injustice or ganized by violence. There have been always. in this country, changes of opinion and of thoughts in the inverse ratio of the material power which co vered it with its battalions. Spain developed there for a long time its own, without power to take root, while that our literature, a loan granted in the age of the Medici, and since carried to a very high point of glory under Louis XIV. clearing the barrier of the Alps, returned to the place of its cradle to gain spirits for France. Pascal and Jansenism at first; after them Helvetius and Condillae have subdued,in these places, all the hearts ulcerated by the foreign force and domination. The measures of terror dictated by the Cabinet of Vienna, will n ot, there, be more fruitful in results than the rigours formerly dis played by the Cabinet of Madrid. Carbonariam is not yet entirely buried in the dungeons of Sirmeunhor the mouths of Cstarro : and the German soldiers, who have been seen In arms ;at the foot of the *carol& in watching day and night to obstruct the communications between Italy and France, in reality do nothing but increase it with more activity, but extend more invincibly, the influence we possess in these countries. Do you wish for a characteristic proof of it ? Listen to the ex pressions which escape from Italians when they recur to the Is. Twits passages of their contemporaneous history. " This was in the time of Napoleon, that was in the time of the French," they say. And then they go back with pride towards the era, when the intellectual and social state of the country was not at variance with the system of government, towards the days when the ascending movement manifested itself on every side. Thus multiply, as much as you may wish, the lines of custom houses which repel our books and our journals; exert yourselves to prevent our tribune from being heard at Naples, at Rome, in Lom bardy, or Piedmont; triple your regiments, employ all your people to stile civilleadon in one little corner of the 'Nth. Vain efforts ! yea will not be there better seen, nor more loved, nor less disobeyed. The intrepid smuggler hallo you every day. He imports the truth in fraud : the sum element of opposition agitates the people, who are more habituated to your sceptre ; the Holy Alliance is dead : your strength declines, tyranny escapes from you, and it is no longer possible to organise a Congress to which Kings might repair as supplicants to appear for ,you to solicit pardon for having sought to regenerate their country. The following article of intelligence has been commu nicated to us from a source which we cannot doubt, al though it appears too hoirible for belief. A whole com pany of Italian players, 22 in number, who took their passage on board a Portuguese vessel, bound to Oporto from Lisbon, were most barbarously murdered by the crew, together with do Portuguese judges, who were also passengers. The diabolical wretches are in cnetody, and have confessed the fact.—Falmouth Pachet. MR. OWEN, TO TEM BANKERS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IR& LAND. GANTLzm so—You have amassed enormous sums of money, by means of a systen which has reduced the real producers of wealth to the lowest state of misery. You, are, howe►•er, blameless ; having acted as all other men would have done, under like circumstances. And many of you are, I know, 'sincerely anxious to remedy the evils, which the system under which you have acted, has produced. You are too intelligent not to understa!id, that every shilling which you have acquired, lris been circuitously drawn from the hard earnings of the agricultural la bourer, or from the skill and industry of tlie operative nuumfucturer. The industrious classes have thu4, paid dearly for the representation of their wealth, with which you have sup plied them. You have given to them a shadow ; and have received from them their substance. Ilad thoy possessed sufficient knowledge, they would have created for themselves another representative of the wealth which they produced ; one which they might have obtained for a small commission, without risk or the pay ment of additional interest, by which to exchange their commodities and services ; and thus, .tvonld have been spared that enormous loss, sustained by tlo:n, in up holding banking establishments and their Proprietors; to the real benefit of none, and to the injury of all. Had this knowledge not - been hidden from the indus trious classes, by reason of the ignorance in which they were involved, they would have discovered, that to possess the raquisites of a sound or correct representation, it must be one, which should increase, as their real wealth increased ; and diminished, as their wealth diminislied ; amid which was unchangeable in its value ; and thus, your bank notes would be rendarekl value less, and your gold and silver held in less estimation than iron and steel. • Existing circurastance3 have permitted you to acquire the artificial wealth you now possess, but others are about to arise, which will reduce that wealth again, to its intrinsic value. By al your pro ceedings, you have not created one pennyworth of real wealth ; but you have abundantly consumed that which the working classes produced ; of which, however, by a legerdemain in society, they have been provented consuming but a very small portion. What is now to be done ? How is justice to be awarded, and yet none injured ? Let some of the surplus artificial sums which you possess, be applied, while the circumstances of society give them currency to create new arrangements, under new knowledge, which will secure for yourselves and your children, permanent advantages, a hundrsd fold more beneficial for you and them, than can be experienced, under the mi serable system of deception, in which, you and the whole world are now involved ; and in which, you are compelled to act the part of irrational beings, to your own incalcu lable loss and grievous injury. The principles on which these new circumstances will be formed, have been developed, and submitted to the con sideration of the British Cabinet ; but no government can change the fundamental principles, on which hu man society has been based, without the aid of an enlightened and influential public opinion. Your early accession to the measures proposed, will benefit yourselves, and the com.nunity, in an essential manner ; and will be the best compensation you can make, to those classes, upon whose wealth and ignorance you have hitherto subsisted. 49, Bedford-square. Jan 22. ROBERT OWRN. Lord PA L M EASTON arrived at his seat, Broadlands, a few days since, and, with a party of gentlemen, has been .enjoying the sport of shooting in his Lordship's preserves. The Honourable W. CAVENDISH, M.P. and Lord MORPETH, passed through this town on Saturday, and the Earl and Countess of CARLISLE on Monday, on their way to Chatsworth.—The Earl and Countess of WA R- W ICK passed through on Tuesday, on their way to Lord POLLI NG TON 's seat, near Pontefract.—Sheffield Courant. The Duke of Brunswick is going to Paris. The troops of Saxony and Cassel are probably by this time in pos session of his states, in consequence of the decision of the Diet. A regency, or commission, will be formed for the government of the duchy, until such time as the Duke shall consent to make bis submission to the King of England. The death of the old Queen of Po RTUG A L may be of considerable advantage in its influeuce on Portuguese politics. We do not know whether we ought to connect with this certainly not disagreeable event the fact that an early, if not an immediate, amnesty is to be issued by Don him u EL. But who can trust the perfidious oath breaker ? Times. The relapse of Mr. VESEY FITZG ERA LD has, we believe, destroyed dll hope of his ability to resume his functions, and his successor (it is understood) is to be Mr. Humus, who is to be succeeded at the Mint by Lord Cum.: DOS. We take it for granted that so young a statesman is not likely to be a member of the Cabinet : we hear, however, that he is a good done:l nun of business, and perfectly fit for the appointment allotted to him.—lbid. MUTING OF PARLIAMINT.—The leading topizs of ,the Royal Speech with which the Session of the Great Council of the Nation will be opened on Thursday s'en night, were on Saturday submitted to his Majesty @con sideration by Mr. Secretary Peel. His Majesty will not give personal attendance on this occasion, and the im portant business of the Session will consequently be opened by Royal Commission. According to the present arrangements, the King will come to town about the middle of April, and hold a Drawing Room in celebration of his Birth Day, now kept on the 9..3d of April (St. George's Day). His Majesty is expected to remain at St. James's Palace upwards'of two months ; (hiring which time he intends holding two Levees, and will probably visit the Italian Opera, Drury Lane, and Covent Garden Theatres.— Morning Paper. &AMIN& lIA 11.—A numerously signed requisition, headed by the name of Thomes Attwood, FA9, been addressed to the High Bailiff of Birmingham (William Chance, Esq.) calling upon him to convene a meeting the inhabitants of the town for the purpom of forming " a General Poiitical Union between the lower and middle classes of the people," for the promotion of" an effeCtud Reform in Parliament, and the redress of public wrongs and grievances." The High Bailiff has declined coin plying with the request, considering it to be no part his duty to call a meeting of the inhabitants for such a purpose; and in•this opinion (the Biro:iv/tam Gazette observes) we are ratified he carries with him 0 - - majority of the respectable and reflecting part of low townsmen. i c ons equence of this refusal, t ginal projectors of the plan have associated others r equisitionists with them, and have themselves con the meeting for Monday neat, at Mr. Beardaworth' Posilcsq- THEATRES. DRURY-LANG. Our notice of last night's play must be brief. The first of all dramatic authorities has told us, the great pm pose of acting is—not less to " hold the mirror up to nature"—than " to show vice its owu image," and in• this view KEAN'S personification of Lathe, in " Riches, or the Wife and Brother," must be regarded as the consummation of histrionic skill. It is not merely the well-worn hypocrisy and guile--the glutted vengesace, and the enjoyment, even to satiety. - of unexpected wealth and luxury, bringing with theta the means of fearful retribution—but the alteration from ferocious triumph to fawning sycophancy, and then to the desperation of baffled villainy, that render this performance so perfectly excellent, and yet so appalling in its excellence. A pe riod, we believe, of nearly fifteen years, has elapsed since the character was sustained on the London boards by this great actor ; and yet the recollection of his merits in every scene seemed fresh in the minds of the auditors, who watched, in almost breathless suspense, the gradual development of Luke's iniquity, till their admiration of the talent of the actor broke out in loud and reiterated plaudits. Mrs. GLovcn's Lady Traffic was truly an admirable performance. / I I .: `'~ C 1 : i A DELPHI THEATRE. In addition to the attractions of the Elephant, this Theatre last night presented a new Burlett*, called Slip per's Over—one of those laughable trifles which .is in tended for a short but pleasurable existence. Mr. Y v. 4 played the part of a young officer, who is all love and a little for his supper, and Mr.JoriN REVVES enacted that a a corporal, who is equally fond of frolic or of fighting. amt who regulates the law of the community by what he calk the law of arms and the civilisition of life. Between them both there wee a considerable share of wins drank, and a great proportion of another malt's supper consumed. Thera was no lack of merriment to season these prarzical jokes, and the audience partook of the fun, and laughed heartily in concert with the heroes. The plot of the piece is not strictly necessary to a true relish of its wit, but one is given to understand that the officer, benighted. takes refuge in the hose of the father of the damsel to whom he is attached, and that, in his joy at the fortunate cir cumstance, lie cats up the old man's Last, and compels the intended bridogruom and rival to wait at table. The father goes for the Commandant of the garrison to take the intruders lute custody; but true love prevails at last, and when, " Supper's over," every thing is forgiven, and the whole affair is settled by the Corporal according t.. the " law of arm and the civilization of life." The piecl was received most favourably, and announced for rep.- tition every night with general apulsuse. M. Cuvier, in one of the early lectures of the C which he is at present delivering at Paris on the natur sciences, remarked the astonishing conformity whic!l existed in the traditions of various nations with rest ect to the period of the occurrence of the Deluge. The. Hebrew text of Genesis fixes it in the year 2,349 B.C. The Indians make the fourth age of the world—the age in which we are now living—commence in the year 3,01:?. The Chinese place it about the year 2,384 Confucius, in fact, represents the first King, Yao, employed in car rying off the waters of the ocean, which had reached the summits of the mountains, and in repairing the damage which they had caused. PRESIDENT WASHINGTON.—This great man was of a very diffident, retiring temper, of which he sometimes gave whimsical proofs. There was a certain Colonel Humphries, a co-patriot and intimate friend of the ('e neral, whose notions of the pomp and parade of o:l.ce were any thing but republican. He had long endeavo:red to introduce the practice of levees, without snece, ; length, however, the old General was teased into a..- quiescence, and a levee was herd. When the coni:any had assembled, Humphries advanced with the President from an inner apartment, and as ha threw open the door, he called out, in a loud voice, " General Washing ton, President of the United States !" Poor Washingtr.n was so utterly confounded by this mighty announcement, which came on him accidentally, that he could }really go through the ceremonial requisite on the occasion. When the levee broke up, and the President got back once more - to his own parlour, he turned to Humphries, hi:. officious introducer, and exclaimed—" You have taken me in once, Humphries, but by Heaven you never sit-It take me in again.' —Spectator. A LAPLAND STRANGER.—On Thursday morning, as the Reading waggon was on its way to London, having passed Maidenhead, the ivaggonor discolored a deer quite exhausted, having, it seems, been hard run by some dog : however, finding the animal ap peared tame, be approached it, and took it without difficulty, and eventually placed it in his waggon, and upon his arrival at the Rose-inn, Fleet-market, some per sons present wished to have it killed as a bon bouche for the cockneys, expecting it would produce something hand some by the sale of it ; however, it having got wind, it was declined, and it turned out to be a fine rein -deer, one of four which were being conveyed in the Bristol stage waggon to Mr. Cross, of the Royal Menagerie, but whAt escaped unknown to the waggone r ; and such m.B the progress it had made on the road before taken that it arrived in London upwards of four hours before tie. wag gon containing the other three.
