POLICY OF ENGLAND. The determination seems to be taken with that generally act against Government to party who plunge the nation,- if possible, into a war with France• for the cause of the Spaniards. Let us examine the reason or the wisdom of this unhappy iolence, and that we may start clear in the argu ment, we-are willing to admit that the conduct of the French Ultras is as bad and as frantic as their most vehement adversaries assert. The war, say, the Spanish party among us, is an attempt to interfere with the national independence of nations, and if we allow aggression to be com mitted with impunity on Spain, we may soon our selves expect the same treatment, and therefore, to avert the evil, we should at once go to war. The logic of such reasoning is not very strict. The paramount duty of all Governments is the protection of the existing interests of their people, in the first instance; the next is to avert contingent evils. Now, though it may be abundantly obvious that the policy of France at this time is as wicked and as wanton as can well be, still the evil that possibly may result from it to us, is not quite so obvious, and moreover it is contingent on the success with which the aggression may be prosecuted—while there can not be the slightest . question as to the actual advan tage which our existing interests will derive from a continuance of our improving circumstances, as thew n in an increasing revenue and a reduction of taxation. We are, with regard to other nations, a Commercial and Manufacturing People—the greatest in those re spects that ever did exist. Commerce and manufac tures, all that relate to art, and to the efforts and in ventions of genius, are the offspring of peace—peace is to us a primary good—our existing interests would be disordered, and the frame into which they have settled be dislocated by a revulsion from a state of peace to a state of war. This cannot be disputed, and therc ore, in so much'asthe conservation of exist ing interests is nearer and dearer than the effects of any contingent event whatsoever. can it for a moment be thought that it is not the paramount duty of Go vernment to stop the war, if it can do so by any exhortation or representation against its principles and policy, but at all events to keep the country out of it at least as long as possible ? Besides this, it seems to be forgotten in the amiable rashness of the war friends of the Spaniards, that we are to a certain extent pledged, in the event of the French succeeding, to go to war—we are bound by ancientkalliance and treaties, hallowed by unexampled fidelity on both sides, to take part with Portugal whenever the foot of a Frenchman again sullies her soil " If so, and we allow it is," say those fervent politi cians, "has not Portugal resolved to join the Spaniards, and are not we bound to unite with her ?" reasoning here is about as correct as in the former instance. Surely it does not follow, because we arc pledged to preserve the integrity of Portugal, that we are also pledged to embrace every engage% meat which her interests may induce her to enter into with other countries ; and, therefore, though we may wi,h victory and honour to our ancient Ally, in her endeavours in the Spanish cause, it does not appear that either interest or league obliges us to go with her to the field : at the same time it would, on our part, be a base policy and a mean menace, affect ' ing the independence of Portugal, were we to say to her—" If you rush into this Spanish war, you can expect no support from us." On the contrary, our policy requires us to say nothing more than we have already said, which is to the effect, that the soil of Purtugal is as dear to our honour as that of England, and we ale ready to defend it. This France knows; and, therefore, on the supposition that she may sub due Spain—which she will never do—she cannot violate the Portuguese frontier without incurring the vengeance of Great Britain. In so far, therefore, both with respect to treaties and to the most unfor tunate contingencies, neutrality, at present, is our wisest policy. " But," exclaim the war faction, " when France has subdued Spain, her means will be so , augmented, she will be so strong, that she will little regard our alliance with Portugal, She will go on and plant her lilies, as she perched her eagles, on the walls of Lisbon!"—Possibly she may try to do so, but she must first subdue Spain; and it must be shewn, when she has done so, that she has still a force in reserve, independent of what will be requisite to preserve the subjugation, sufficient to cope with England and with Portugal. But, under all the circumstances of the case, we do not think either of these things pro. table. Spain will be a tough job, if the Spaniards ate the same sort of people they were ten years ago, and We see no symptom of deterioration among them. So that to acquire a military possession of the cows cost France some of her best blood and some of her treasure ; and to keep such possession : when acquired, will still be no light undertalcing.— It will take all the force and means that she proposes to eniploy in the war, and she will have ro raise are and greater supplies of both before she can en cotinter the united puissance of Portugal and Eng land• We should therefore think, that after what she will probably be obliged to suffer in the conflict 'jib Spain, she will neither be then so fresh nor so btoat fora set-to with John Bull, in the case he is likely to be i q by the ti aining and continuance of his Present regular exerikitet and solid tare. And, there fore, with respect to the contingency of attacking Portugal, still it seems manifest that it is the wisest policy for us not to interfere till the attack is made— and it cannot be made until France has felt the conse quences of attempting to reduce Spain to her vassalage. There is another ground on viiiieh it would be most impolitic for us to interfere at present—France has not told the world very precisely the object she has in view by this menaced war. Supposing her armies at Madrid, and in full possession of the country — what does she intend to do Thereby hangs a tale," at which all the Continental Powers will prick up their ears. If she proposes a Charter through the'' medium of FERDINAND, is it not likely, from the ancient, known, and notorious ambition of her policy, that in so doing she will revive something of the na ture and principle of the famous FAMILY COMPACT? Now will Austria, Prussia, and the Netherlands , quietly submit to see this formidable faction revived? On the contrary, is it not probable that the first synip tom of arty intention to make Spain again a depend ancy of France will induce all those Powers to unite against her. at the very crisis when- England, by her treaties, may be obliged to assist Portugal, and a ge neral war will again ensue? So that the longer we can keep out of the conflict the more decisiie will our interposition in the end•be, for, in the event of the French arms proving victorious, the greater will be the demand on• Our efforts and resources ; and, if they are visited with the disgrace which, in human opinion, they seem to merit, we shall continue to reap all the advantages that naturally arise from and belong to neutrality. New York Papers to the 13th Febtuary arrived to-day, as also Norfolk (Virginia) Papers to the 10th. Accounts from St. Salvador, of the 9th December, state, that at that time the place was closely be sieged, and there was little doubt would be obliged to surrender in a short time. A letter from Curacoa, dated 28th January, com municates the intelligence of MORALES having em barked at Maracaibo on the 22d, with 2,000 men, destined for Truxillo. Boum was at Bompas, with A considerable force. MORALES having left only 'one thousand men for the defence of Maracaibo, it was expected that BOLIVAR would find it an easy capture, and then go against Caraccas, the place of his birth. BOLIVAR and MONTILLA, from the West; BERMUDAS, from Cumana ; PAEZ, in Valencia ; CLE MENTI and URDANETTI, in Truxillo, are awaiting the approach of MORALES: he cannot escape. An American ship has been captured off Laguira f loaded wi►h muskets, and other arms. She was freighted in London. An extensive fire has destroyed part of the city of Norfolk, and some lives were lost. Saturday the Duke of YORK dined with the Earl of WESTMORLAND, at his house in-Grosvenor-square, being the first visit of his Royal Highness since his long and severe indisposition. Yesterday, at one o'clock, his Royal Highness rode out in his close cairiage, and visited the Princess SOPHIA. Divine Service was yesterday performed by the Rev. Dr. BLOMBERG to the KING'S Household, at the Palace in Pall-mall. The Stuttgard Official Gazette, of the 23d February, contains an explanatory declaration of the document which lately appeared in the Constitationnel, with the signature of the Wurtemburg Minister for Foreign Affairs, in the form of a dispatch to a Wurtembnrg Ambassador. The genuineness of the article is not denied, but some surprise is expressed at the indis cretion which must have led to its publication.— The Government of Wurtemburg declares, that though it may differ with other Powers of Europe , I with respect to certain forms," its principles are the same, and that its readiness to co-operate in the en forcement of them may be relied on. An assumption follows, however, which will be found to amount to a positive condemnation of the threatened attack by France upon Spain. " Because," it is said, "it is evident from the wisdom, justice, and express decla. rations of the august Allies, that no means will ever be used to attain them but such as are in unison with the independence of all Governments, the maintenance of all legally existing Constitutions, and the preserva tion of the political state of Europe, according to existing treaties." Extract of a letter from Smyrna, dated Jan. 15 : Is The Flora and Lovely Ann have returned from Napoli di Romania, the Greeks not having permitted them to enter. The Flora, in attempting, was fired upon from a Greek battery, and the Mate killed. The garrison of Napoli di Romania has since surrendered to the Greeks by capitulation. The CAMBRIAN was there at the time, and Captain HAMILTON was applied to by the Greek Chief to prevent the capitu lation being broken by his troops, whom he was fear ful, from their being exasperated, would massacre all the Turks; in number about 4000. Captain Hamm- Tow succeeded in saving the whole, 400 of whom he brought here in the CAMBRIAN, and the remainder lie caused to be embarked in Greek vessels, to he landed at Scalanova, and its neighbourhood. The Turks were obliged to capitulate from want of pro visions ; about two thousand had died in the garrison Bons famine." The Times of this morning observes, that as the " Government of the BOURBONS chooses, with un paralleled insolence, to attempt the overthrow of the more ancient Constitution of Spain, there can be no impropriety in the Spaniards attacking their enemies in the same manner,and declaring some new Constitu tion for France." No doubt Spain has this right; but does not the Times perceive that this is one cogent rea son, among many others, why Britain should.not make common cause with Spain? Will the warmest advocate for British interference ptend that Biitain shOuld :take part in any attempt to overthrow that Govern , meat in France which it spent so much blood and treasure to ie•establish ? And would Spain . thank us for declaring war in her favotsr,ou condition, that she shall abandon what some persons slink owe/ her most important elements of defence? !, 44, BRIGHTON, MARCH 9. It was the ktwo's intention to be present at Divine Service in the Royal Chapel at the Pavilion this morning ; but unfortunately on Friday, about five o'clock, just as his MAJESTY was preparing , for his dinner, his old enemy the gout renewed its visit, but in another quarter.

KING'S THEATRE:—KOSSINI'S Opera of La Donna del Lego was performed on Saturday night, and was much applauded ; it was succeeded by a new Ballet, entitled Alfred le Grand, Roy d'Angleterre ; the music by Comte de GRELEMBERG. The Ballet is extremely superb, and the costume of the characters was strictly observed, with the exception of that of Alfred,who is represented as a traveller,with the regalia underneath his cloak, and not in the garb of a shepherd. lie is introduced in disguise, falls in love, subsequently dis closes who he is, fights, supported by his trusty friends, and vanquishes his enemies. The dancing was admi rable, and the Ballet was received with unqualified applause by the most crowded and brilliant audience that has graced rl►e Theatre this season►. At the con clusion a novel circumstance occurred, at least in this country. M. AUMER, the Ballet Master, was called for, to congratulate him on the success of his Ballet. He was presented to the audience by M. VESTRIS, and was much applauded. The curtain, as usual, fell before twelve o'clock. PEDESTRIANISM.

T 1: • came here on Mundey . evening, Ai 24th Inst. and the first news that I heard was, that he,Wasoxariiin . g —not exactly so, however, in point of fact ; fur le died on the 26th inst. But, in fine,' riur great tra gedian is no more! And he, who In histrionic art could so well depict the final: pangs of nature, has been called Orkin torn to act the paft in sad reality, I have seen the Physician who attended him, and; anxious to obtain particulars of the latter days of:so great and so worthy a character, for my ostrisatii faction, and for year information, I hastily subjoin the result. On Saturday, the 23d instant, he' wit; in his own estimation, so very comfortable, that, on sending away his hairdresser, he requested that he would say to his friend, Mr. PRECOTE, that it would give him pleasure'to learn, that after the operation of shaving, his friend was as well as he was. 'ln fact, he seemed on that day in particularly good spirits.--' The next trr rning he rose apparent)) quite well, breakfasted at nine, and subsequently went to an ad- . joining room to speak to Mrs. ICEstEr-c ; and then re turning to his room was obieryed to totter in his gait. Mrs. KEMBLE noticed this with anxiety, and assisted him to his chair, and when seaied he took up a number of GalignanisAlessenger; but getting worse, his friend and physician, Dr. ScitoLe, was sent for, who at rived instantly, and found him in the position described, but already altered and exhibiting very unfavourable symptoms—his ..left side had suffered a decided attack, and be could with difficulty articulate._. He seemed extremely anxious to spare the feelings of Mrs. KEMBLE. Dr. SCHOLE, with the assistance of his old attached servant GEORGE, helped him to his bed, and, in the act of conducting him there, a second at tack took place, so suddenly, that his clothes were obliged to be cut asunder, in order that he might the more speedily be let blood. But nature was fast ex hausting ; nor could he ever make use of his speech after a few words which he had uttered on Doctor • Semmes arrival. He, however, assented or dissented by signs of the head, until within two hours of his complete extinction. His last intelligible words were, George, George and you may imagine the feelings of an attached servant to an excellent master under such circumstances. In fine, a third attack, on Wed nesday, the 26th instant, just 48 hours after the first, proved fatal ; and though to a stranger he might appear to suffer, it is the opinion of the Doctor that be was long insensible to acute feelings of pain. The English Clergyman was also present. I knew Mr. KEMBLE only as a public character, and consequently can give you no particulars of his domestic life here. 1 understand, however, that he was particulaily esteemed, and is much regretted in this city, by all classes, and almost venerated by the lower, from the urbanity of his manners. He had imagined that the climate of Italy would prove beneficial to his health ;' but having arrived in Rome thtee months since, under unfavourable circumstances of the season, he became worse and worse. so that the English Physician, Dr. CLaftice, hurried him away- to.retuin to Lausanne, svhere•he had been comparatively well. His occura , ' tions here were his books and his garden—the latter Was his predilection; and it was resorted to by him with the fit st rays of the sun, and kept in a state of cultivation rarely to be surpassed. The funeral is to take place to-morrow, and will doubtless be nume rously and respectfully attended." Mr. KENiBLE was born at I'rescot, in Lancashire, in the year 1757. his father was a Catholic, and educated him in the same faith, placing hint first at a Catholic Seminary in Staffordshire, and afterwards at the English College at Douay, where he" distin guished himself by the strength of-his mernoVy and ' the accuracy of his elocution. When about twenty years of age he left the College and repaired to Eng land, anxious to display his histrionic talents; but his father, though Manager of some country theatres, gave him no encouragement. • However, he deter. mined to become a child of Thespis, and joined an itinerant company at Wolverhampton, where he made his first appearance in the character of Theo dosius, in " The Force of Love." After sharing in those vicissitudes which await the country player, Mr. KaMBLE repaired to London, and in 1784, made his first appearance at Drury-Lane Theatre, in the character of Hamlet. In 1788, he was ap pointed Manager of the Theatre. In 1803, he purchased a share of Covent-Garden Theatre, and succeeded to the management of that con cent, which he conducted with great attention and ability. From this time to the yea'. 1817, when he took his final leave of the Stage, his perfOniiance of the leading characters in tragedy formed one of the richest histrionic treats the metropolis afforded. On his talents as an Actor we might safely enlarge, but . . we find them thus briefly and accurately summed up in the inscription on the piece of .plate presented to him on his retirement from the Stage, , of which • (says the Inscription) for thirty-six years Itefitas the ornament and pride, which, to his leattning, taiste(and genius, was indebted for its present state of retire ment, and which, under his auspices, consecrated to the support of the Itgitimitepramb, end mote.par ticularly to the glory of SHAkSPEa RI, attairiiil to a degree of splendour and prosperity before unknown." - • captzin.B4loll, who' ccompaiiied Captain' Paiute is Astro. nomel- w his voyage to Melville Island, proceeds, directly to Spitsbergen, for the purpose of making observatibrk for Meter. mining the due figure of the earth, similar to thoie he has al ready made on the Coast of Aides, the West;lndies, and Am.- rica.
