h a rassed by the Suliots and the Arnattts, which will not give them time to do what they intend. " The Lady of the British Ambassador at Con stantinople is expected at Corfu. The lonians were regaining their confidence in the British Government, since hopes had been held out that the Governor,.Sir Thomas Maitland,, would be changed." A Mail arrived this forenoon from Lisbon, with Papers to the 23d June. In the extracts which we subjoin, oar Readers will be pleased to see the hand some tribute which is paid to the Captain and crew of une of our ships of war, lying in the Tagus, for their exertions on the occasion of the late conflagration : LISBON, JUNE I. The Regency of the Kingdom has given orders to the Secretary of the Marine, to express to Captain Duncan, commanding his Britannic Majesty's frigate Liffey, their most sincere thanks, for his prompt co operation, and generous offers of assistance, on occa sion of the disastrous fire of the 10th of this month. The Regency will, with great pleasure, take the first opportunity of acquainting the British Government with this particular case, as well as with the regular, pet feet discipline by which the crew of the Liffey have distinguished themselves since their arrival in this port. The Regency, being inlormed,that an Officer and sonic of the crew of the Liffey have received in jury, orders any assistance to be offered to Captain Duncan which might be useful to him. The Regency has also ordered thanks to be given to the army for the courage, firmness, and energy displayed by the troops of the gartison on the same occasion. It being suspected that the fire originated in deign, a free pardon has been offered to any one of the accomplices, not being the principal author of, the plot, for the discovery of the perpetrators, but we do not find that any discovery has yet been made. New Yea k Papers arrived this forenoon to the 2d of June. The following are extracts : NEW - YORK, JUNE 9. We have received a Curapa Gazette of April 2S, from which we copy the folowing “ His Majesty's brig Mercury arrived here on Tues day from Puerto Cabello. By this arrival we learn that General Bolivar has very lately sent one of his Aides-de-Camp, named Pumar, with a dispatch to the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal forces, General La Torre, having for its object, we understand, the prolongation of the armistice for three months. " General La Torre, it seems, not wishing to give a decisive answer without consulting his second in command, referred the Aid-de-Camp to General Morales, who received him, it is said, in a very in dignant manner; and after reading General Bolivar's dispatch, he tore it in pieces and threw it at the mes senger, telling him, at the same time, that as he valued his life, to depart instantly for the Republican head-quarters, as he would enter into no treaty with General Bolivar, being determined to carry on a most vigorous system of warfare against the Independents. The Royalist forces arc stated to consist of 14,200 cTective men—viz. 7000 under Morales, at Cala bezo ; 6000 under La Torre, at San Carlos; and I'2oo under Tello, at Guanares. Bolivar's head-quarters were at Barinas ; but what number of troops he may be able to bring into the field, to open the campaign, which commences this day, we cannot state with any degree of certainty ; it is very probable, howeser, that we may compute it to be equal, if not to surpass that of the Royalists." LA'FiST FROM BURT OS AYRES. M Buenos Ayres, the citizens generally, and even the foreigners residing there, had been called upon to take tip arms, and were in a regular train of dis cipline to march, on a threatened invasion from Ra mirez, who had collected a considerable force at -Entre Rios, with which it was said he also intended to attack the Province of Santa Pd. Carrera, at the head of a small force, composed of Indians and dis affected citizens from different quarters, had in- 1 vaded the Province of Cordova, the Governor of which had taken the field to oppose them. _ _ Artigas, after losing the whole of his army by de feat and desertion, had retired to Paraguay, where he was either detained as a prisoner, or placed under surveillance. The Pcrtuguese have undisturbed possession, at present, of the whole of the Banda Oriental ; but it was generally supposed, that incase the provinces became united, one of their measures would be a de claration of war for its recovery. lIAVANINAH, APRIL ZO. The Spanish frigate la Pronta, with seven and a half millions of dollars on board, sailed yesterday for Spain, in company with three ships of war, having under convoy 55 sail of Spanish merchantmen, richly laden with sugar, coffee, cochineal, vanilla, and dollars. It is said to be the richest convoy that ever sailed from Cuba to the parent country, and is estimated by some to be worth One Hundred Millions ! ! ! FIRE AT NEW ORLEASS.—A destructive fire broke out at this place, at one o'clock on Saturfay morn ing, the 12th of May. Fifteen hundred bales of cot ton, principally belonging to Gentlemen in the coun try, and on consignment to merchants in the town, 'were in a short time consumed. The amount of pr °- petty lost is estimated at 100,000 dollars; all de stroyed in the short space of one hour. Yesterday. the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VITIORIA visited the Duchess of CLARENCE. Yesterday, the Duke of YORK transacted military business with the KING, at his Palace iu Pall.mall: THE QUEEN'S RIGHT TO A CROWNED. PRIVY COUNCIL—(THIS DAY). This morning, the avenues of the Treasury and Whitehall were crowded even earlier than usual with persons anxious to press into the Privy Council-room, the moment the doors were thrown open, in the hope of hearing the decision upon the argument of her MAJESTY'S Counsel, which it was expected would be pronounced this day. A part of the labours of the Stock Exchange were tranferred to Whitehall, and betting upon the result went on as if the parties engaged in the speculation were in 'Change-alley. — The crowd in the avenues was more dense than usual, and a most determined stand seemed to be taken against the Messengers to keep any situation which promised an early rush to the Council-doors when they.w•ere thrown open. The Members of the Privy Council began to as semble earlier than usual, and many tried to intro- duce their friends (not of the Council) into the room; but the orders of the Messengers were peremptory, and persons of rank were obliged to take Up such positions as they could in the attending throng. . At 10 o'clock, a very full Council had assembled. There were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Archbishop cf CA STERBURY, the Bishop of LoNnov, Cl' :4 Judges ABBOTT and DALLAS, and the Chief Baron ; the Judges of the Prerogative Court, the Law Officers of the KING and QUEEN, with the attendant Counsel at each side; the Dukes of WELLINGTON, MONTROSE, and NEWCASTLE; Marquisses CAMDEN, CHOLMONDE• LEV, HERTFORD, CONYNGHAM, and LONDONDERRY; Earls Of LIVERPOOL, WESTMORELAND, DONOUGII.. I MORE, MACCLESFIELD, G ROSVENOR, and HA RROWRY; Lords SAINT HELENS, SIDMOUTII, MELVILLE, Am- HURST, TEICNMOUTII, BINNING, YARMOUTH, and several others. There were also about twenty-five Members of the House of Commons, including Mr. TIERNEY, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, &C. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose at half-past ten o'clock, and his speech is likely to occupy the whole day. He set out with stating, that the right of usage, on which the legal ground of her Majesty's present claim was put, and the illustration of that right by the analogous case of a right of way, did not at all apply ; for if the right of way was proved to have been uniformly enjoyed, yet still, if that enjoyment was shewn to have been derivative, and merely held by the permission of another, then the very circum stance of its being permissive, put an end to the as serted claim by the party holding it only derivatively. Now he would shew, from the uniform current of precedents, from the very nature of the ceremony it self, and from the absence of all mention of the Queen's rights by the ancient law authorities of the land (Bracton, Coke, Bacon, and down to Black stone), that the right of a Queen was a derivative one, and not one which she held except by the per mission of the King. The Learned Gentleman (the Attorney-General) then made several quotations from the works of the authorities he had named, for the purpose of shew•ing that the Coronation Procla mations uniformly emanated from the King himself, and that the whole of the ceremonies were called into action by his will and permission. His Learned Flicnds had began particularly with William the Conqueror, whose wife was not crowned for some time after. Rufus was not married.—Henry the First was, and his Queen was crowned ; but Stephen was , loosely passed over, although he was certainly mar ried at the time, and his wife was not crowned with him. He (the Attorney-General) only mentioned that case to shew that the line was not invariably kept, as said, in the asserted chain of precedents. Then again, the reign of John—it was in vain to stop to enquire the reason why John's Queen was not crowned with him— Mr. DENMAN here said, that Stephen's Queen, according to Jervis of Canterbury, was crowned with him. The ATTOR\EY•GENERAL said, yes—but Stephen, though married at the time of his coronation, was not crowned in the first instance with his wife, which he must have been if the claim of right now set up was tenable. Nor did it at all appear, according to Rymer, that any arrangements were made for the Queen's solemnity, except as a mere accessary to the King's, which might or might not be dispensed with. —Left speaking. The Marquis of ANGLESEA had an audience of the KING yesterday. The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and the Princess AUGUSTA rode to Kew yesterday, and proceeded from there to Richmond, where their Royal Highnes ses dined with the Countess Dowager of CARDIGA N. Perhaps no building has ever been more rapidly ad vanced, or ejected on a more safe and permanent plan than that now forming at the rear of the Mansion house, Dublin, to entertain his MAJESTY. It is circular and exceeding in diameter the great room at the Rotunda. In four days it has been raised from the foundation to laying the floor on a level with the great Oak room in the Mansion-house, where the Lords:.Lieutenant of Ireland have usually dined, and which, on the present occasion, forms one of a suit of anti•chambers. In about ten days more the roofing of this grand building will be complete, and by the Ist of August the whole will be finished in a manner fit to entertain the Kis°. Exclusive of his MAJESTY and suite, and about one hundred visitors from among the Nobility and Gentry of Ireland, about 300 of the Corporation will dine. There is to be a gallery for the fair daughters of Erin; and the Lady Mayoress, .if course, will have a .eat suitable to ter rank. THE CORONATION. It has been generally understood, that the Corona tion of King JAMES the SECOND, which, by order of that Monarch, was so minutely detailed in SAND voRD's Work, would be the exact prototype of the present one; but this will not be the case. Lord GWTDIR, and the Noblenien who superintend the so- • lemn ceremony, have indeed referred to SawnFortro's account upon many dubious points, and the more ' general plan of that Coronation will be preserved ; but in other very material respects the ensuing Co ' ronation will decidedly differ from that of dAmas.— The Lord Mayors of London and Dublin, the Heads of the Universities, and a number of other Com moners, were then present at the dinner in the Hall; but it is now fully determined that no other person whatever than Peers shall dine in the presence of his MAJESTY ; and that the Peers shall not sit dcwn to table until his MAJF:sry has done dinner, and is about to partake of the dessert. For the Commoners, who will attend the Coronation, tables are to be prepared in the various Courts of Law, and the spacious rooms connected with the Hall. _ _ The following is a sketch of the general form that has recently been determined upon : His MAJESTY willleave the Semaxeres house (where he will sleep) in the same dress that he has hitherto worn upon State occasions, and take his seat upon the Throne erected under the south window. Before him, on the Royal table, will lie the regalia. About three feet distant, on his right hand, will sit his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and on his left the Duke of CLARENCE, and the other Dukes round the table. The different persons who are entitled to bear the regalia will then individually advance, ac companied by Heralds, and , receive their respective burthens from his MAJESTY'S table. The whole pro cession will then marshal and proceed to the Abbey. The Ladies of rank, who will be accommodated in the galleries, will go by the covered way. Upon arriving at the Abbey his MAJESTY will immediately proceed to the private Chapel at the back of the Altar, and there change his dress. ST. EDWARD'S Crown, or the Crown of England, will also there be placed on his head by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. By this time, all persons having taken their places in the Abbey, his MAJESTY will come forward in pub lic and kneel before the Altar. The Archbishop will then take Sr. EDWARD'S Crown from his head again, and place it upon the Altar, and, after the prayer, supply its place by the new Crown, and place an additional robe upon his MAJESTY'S shoulders. His MAJESTY Will next take his seat in ST. EDWARD'S Chair, which is elevated upon a platform in the centre of the Abbey Cross. At the four corners of the Cross, immediately against the pillars, will stand four Heralds, superbly apparelled. The sermon will be preached from a pulpit which is erecting at the north east corner. After the service, his MAJESTY will re turn in procession, with the new Crown upon his head, to Westminster Hall, and there dine. The Peers, and all persons excepting the Royal Family, who partake with his MAJESTY, will stand the while. The remaining fortes in regard to the Champion, &c. are the usual ones, and are well known. We have given in another part the official state ment of the Revenue for the Quarter which ended on the sth instant. As compared with the correspond ing Quarter of last year, there is an acknowledged deficiency of nearly £200,000. At a Meeting of the Mayor and several respect able inhabitants of the town of Faversham, on the 4th instant, it was unanimously resolved that a pub lic subscription should be entered into for the pur pose of raising a fund to enable their poorer fellow townsmen to enjoy the day appointed for the ap proaching Coronation of our beloved MONARCH, in stead of illuminating the town : nearly cso was sub scribed at the Meeting, and a gratifying collection was immediately commenced. Yesterday, Prince LEOPOLD had a numerous and splendid Dinner Party at Marlborough-House, his Royal Highness having arrived in town from Clare mont for that purpose, to meet his Royal Sister the Duchess of KENT. Among the distinguished per sonages present %ere—Lord and Lady BARNARD, the Duke and Duchess of SOMERSET, Lord Essex, Sir T. STEPNEY, Earl BRAYBROOK, Lady GLYNWIt, Lord and Lady Buacuensir, Lord and Lady FITZ.. ROY SOMERSET, &C. The new building upon the site of the old Royal Academy in Pall-Mall, is rapidly rising ; the lower part of it is to be occupied by some person of the King's Household ; and in the great room on the first floor the pictures painted by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE on the Continent, for his MAJESTY, are to be placed. Last week, a serious accident beret Col. PARKER, of the Cheshire Militia, and his Lady, who were pro ceeding in a curricle and pair on a party of pleasure, to Llanberries Lakes, Snowdon. In ascending a steep hill the pole broke, and the horses being spi rited, became unmanageable : the Colonel and his Lady were thrown out with great viclence. The former was insensible for some time : both received I severe contusions, but no fracture took place. PASISIAN Fasmons.--ILats of open work straw still maintain their ground, and often round the edge is pined a small wreath of flowers, or band of fringed straw ; a bunch of musk flowers is placed on one side the hat, they are the flowers most in vogue. The name of Barlges-cachtntires is given to those little scarfs of variegated colours, of which the ends unite, and which are sometimes formed entirely of one colour, or of white silk of an extreme fineness. JUVENILE OPPENDERS.—Since mere confinement' has been found of so little efficacy in checking the career of crime in juvenile offenders, the City Ma gistrates have determined to adopt another course, viz. the efficacy of hard labour, economical feeding, and sound flogging. Five offenders of this class, William Jackson, James Brunt, Thomas Trinder, John Brown, and Robert Angell, aged 16, 17, 18, 19, and 21, who were convicted at the last Adjourned Lon don Sessions, of attempts to pick pockets, were sen tenced each to twelve months hard labour in the House of Correction, and to be publicly flogged from the Obelisk at the end of Bridge-street to Black friars-bridge, and back again, and yesterday morning they were escorted from the Giltspur-street Compter to the spot appointed, where Sherds WA ITIIM AN and Wil.taasts were in attendance, and the latter fol lowed the cart, to see th 4 the ceremony was per il:: med. The spectacle drew a concourse of people. The ceremony lasted rather more than one hour, and at the expiration the prisoners were consigned hack to the Compter, to undergo the remainder of the • term of their loll' isonincat. • • THE ARMY. The Pensions to wounded Officers, and the Royal Bounty, win be in the course of payment onWednesday nett, the 11th inst. Wednesday, at a party of the 4th Light Dragoons was going out in watering order, a private, named Mere..., war riding one horse and leading another, when the one which he rode jumped at the led horse, which si,,rang forward, and broke from his hold, kicking at the same time with both hind legs, by which the poor fellow had Ms leg so badly fractured thia it feared it must be amputated. Thursday se'nnight a man named William Nash was taken into custody for absenting himself from the East Kent Militia, while they were on duty in Canterbury- lie was taken before the Magistrates, who sentenced him to six months imprisonment. The Ordnance Establi,liment, a Sheu ne.s, is to he entirely abolished in a few days ; the Officers and Cie: ks ate to retire on half-pay, and the la!,Guriog men are to ha discharged ; the latter have had si venteen days notice given tin to, that they may leek other employment.

On ' enquiry he wry, informed, that this was the resolution of six or seven of the subscribers to the room ! • " As to the more re spectable part oi i the subscribers," he says, " am fully per suaded, on their teeing this, they will, with cheerfulness, as readily protest against ever having made such an abominable objection, as I should feel in loudly proclaiming it not to be their's."

ROBBERY Of MR. KEA N.—Mr. KEAN, an his arri val at New York from Boston, on the 29th of May last, discovered that his trunk or case, which con tained all his valuable papers, and a considerable sum of money, had been stolen. A case was left very similar to the one belonging to Mr. KEAN- Amon the papers were some receipts, signed by LE Roy, BAYARD. and Co. Mr. K VAN'S engagements with several Managers, and numerous letters. There were also, among other valuable p 4 -,ets and articles, two Batik-notes of one hundred dollars each, and a quantity of specie in English g‘,ILI. The case (some what reenibling a leather trunk) left in the place of that of Mr. KEAN 'S, and which is H OW in his posst.s sion, was tilled with itor,e4 .ta old pair of pantaloons, and a veit.
