This Protest does nat, cf course, touch on the ap plication which the QUEEN, subsequently to the deci 14m of the Privy Council, ordered to be made to the Earl Marshal, to have a suitable place provided for her MAJESTY to witness the ceremony in which she has been refused a participation ; and as to that point matters may be said to remain in stalls quo. From the answer, which we also publish to-day, sent by . Lord HowAito of EFFINGHAM, the acting Earl Marshal, to the communication from Lord }loon, her DIAJESTY's Chamberlain, it will be seen that the refusal of accommodation is most positive and unqualified. It remains to be seen whether, under these circum stances, her MAJESTY will still persist in her intention of going and demanding admission. Since writing the preceding, we have been in formed from undoubted authority, &it her MA-. JESTY abides by her intention of.demanding admission. Ifer MAJESTY will be accompanied by her usual at tendants, Lord and Lady Hop, and also by Lad, ANNE HAMILTON. Offers have been made from vari ous quarters to escort her MAJESTY, but they have been uniformly declined. _ _ _ The preparations making in Hyde Park for the exhibition of hie-works, and, we may say, of water works, are solendid beyond anything ever before at tempted in this country. About fifty acres of the most elevated part of the Park are enclosed for the display of the fiie-works, in the preparation of which a great number of artificers from Woolwich have been for some time actively employed, under the constant inspection of Sir W. CONGREVE. At present we have only time to say, that the fire works are to commence at ten o'clock, and will con tinue till day-light in the morning. Numerous trans parencies will be exhibited, amongst which will be one representing his MAJESTY standing on a rock, at the foot of which Envy is chained—an Angel is seen descending from Heaven, and placing the Crown on his head—Britannia appears at a distance, seated on the British Lion. (Signed) Another transparency represents Peace, with her olive branch, accompanying Time, and pointing to Britannia, who views the goddess in the attitude of adoration ;—but we must delay our particular ac count of the whole of these splendid preparations till to-morrow. The Serpentine River is to be absolutely in a blaze : it is to be covered with wherries, which, from the rapidity of their movements, are to appear as bodies of fire skimming the surface of the water : and what will certainly not be the least wonderful part of the display, there is to be a foot-race on the water—not of painted automata—but of real English men, enabled by Sir %Madam CONGREVE'S scientific skill to tread the surface of the water as securely as the eai th : each of the racers will carry a trans parency, and the whole appearance will certainly be ruor: magical than anything that * has been exhi- bited in real life. The trees in Hyde Park are to be hung with Chinese lanterns of large dimensions and various forms, the surfaces of which will exhibit trans parent devices. Letters have been received in town from Constanti nople to the 12th, and from Smyrna to June 1. Our Readers are already informed that the Russian Am bassador had clandestinely contrived to bring two ships of war (under the disguised name of "packets") to Constantinople, and of the determination of the Turkish Government to send them away. It is now stated, that the latter insisted upon searching them, as they have a right to do all merchant vessels. STRO covoiF resisted this right, and yet at the same time he coull only do so by calling them vessels g war, which he could not state them to be without acknow ledging the infringement of existing treaties, which forbid, in the most positive terms, any such coming into the waters of the Bosphorus—so that upon this subject the Turks have the best of the argument.-. At Smyrna, the Franks were in a great state of alarm, from an apprehension that some of the most i furiwed Twits meditated a general massacre of the Chridiaus of all denominations. In fact, it is stated that such a plot had been discovered, and that the Num had issued an exhortation, forbidding such a cruel step in the strongest terms. The Franks were, however, not free from alarm, should the Greeks succeed in capturing any of the Turkish men of war, eight of which had sailed from the Dardanelles for the Archipelago. The Greek vessels are in great force. They board everything they meet in search of Turks, as well as Turkish property. The Bathurst, loarian Government vessel had been boarded no .ess %hail eight times on her voyage from Athens to Corfu.

All is " bustle, bustle," in the neighbourhood of Westminster Hall and the Abbey. The conflux of well-dressed persons, through the different avenues leading to the grand scene, is really prodigious. The erections for spectators on the Westminster Hall side are all completed. Those in Palace-yard are orna mented in the most superb style; several boxes have banners waving outside them, and every attraction that is likely to induce the engagement of their seats is resorted to by the owners of them respectively.— The entrance-door to Cotton-garden, where the great range of kitchen is situated, was besieged yesterday morning with persons trying to gain admittance. The small yard which stands between the entrance passage and the door leading to the kitchens was covered with all sorts of articles for the dinner service. Some dozens of creels of earthenware, dishes, plates, jugs, &c. were brought in in the course of the morn ing; a proportionate quantity of decanters, tumblers, glasses, wooden trays, buckets, coolers, &c. were also carried in. The Clerk of the Kitchen had about sixty men employed in the distribution of these ar ticles to the various quarters where they are destined to be used: The letter H is painted on each of the wooden vessels that ale appropriated to the Hall. The different persons who had orders to prepare the ornaments for the dessert course sent in a large quan tity of very beautiful aricles yestetday morning: the most remarkable of those are large'ttands with broad bottoms, formed conically up to a certain height; a slight perpendicular supporter stands on this, to the extremity of which is affixed a sort of shell, to re ceive a large glass bowl. They are made of wood, and are beautifully gilded and ornamented. They have a Royal Crown and G. R. on opposite sides. A vast !saber of smaller articles have also been brought into the kitchen, for the purpose of being finally furnished. There ate likewise stands of a similar construction as the former, with the difference that the smaller ones have several tiers of glass plates, the edges of which are hung with silver fringe to cor respond to the colour of the glass. There have been each day one hundred and nine cooks employed in roasting and preparing the different dishes. A larder has been fitted up in the coolest part of the garden for the reception of the roasted and boiled dishes. Yesterday, no less a number than - three hundred and twenty.five joints of venison, beef, mutton, fowl, &c. were roasted in the course of the day. The cooks have not a moment to themselves, and they will even find it difficult to get ready the provisions for the ilif ferent tables by the hour of dinner on the Coronation day. Yesterday morning, 4.0 extra Cooks were added to the number already employed. It is calculated that there will be very few hot dishes, even for the Hall, on that day, with the exception of those for his MAJESTY'S table, and the course of soup and fish.— In the Painted Chamber there are three tables laid out. In the old House of Lords there ate three more. In the matted Gallery leading from the lobby of the House of Commons, there is a table capable of dining nearly one hundred persons. The old Prince's Room has another table as large, and in several of the adjoining rooms there will he tables laid out for the reception of guests. The Arm. of his MAJESTY are to be fixed up in each cf the rooms. Yesterday morning, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, with a party of friends, visited West minster Hall and the Abbey : he was attended by Mr. DostbET FELLOWES. Whilst his Royal Highness was in the Hall, Mr, IhmostE, the Champion, rode on his charger, and went through the usual routine of backing. His Royal Highness manifested his satisfaction at the manner in which Mr. DvNoscx per formed his ta,k. It is under,tood that the Champior. will ride from his homsa in Hill-street, Berkeley-square, on Thurs. day morning, to Westminster, at about nine o'clok. tion, also came with two particular costly and spin * did State-carriages; the hammercloths co nta i ned et.

The following is the letter which was sent by b er MAJESTY'S command to the Duke of NORFOLL: " MY LORD—Her Majesty has commanded me to say, as it is her intention to be in Westminster Abbey on the 19th inst. during the ceremony of the Coro. nation of the King, your Grace is required to appei t t persons to receive her Majesty at the door of the Abbey, to conduct her to her seat.

The following is the Answer: " 9, Mansfield-street, July 16, 1221. _ _ _ . . My LORD—The Duke of Norfolk having trans. mitted to me, as appointed to do the duties of the office of Earl Marshal of England, at the ccretnony of the approaching Coronation, your Lordship's lette r to his Grace of the 15th instant ; I thought it incunn. bent on me to lay the same before Viscount Sidoicuth, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, and I have just learnt from his Lordship, in reply, tha having received a letter dated the llth instant, frees the Queen, in which her Majesty was pleased to in. form him of her intention to be present at the tem mcny of the 19th, the day fixed for his Majesty'; Coronation, and to demand that a suitable place should be appointed fur her Majesty, he was cm. minded by the King to acquaint her Majesty, that's was not his Majesty's pleasure to comply with the application contained in her Majesty's letter. I hal l accordingly to request that your Lordship will male my humble representation to her Majesty of the irn. possibility, under these circumstances, of my having the honour of obeying her Majesty's commands. 44 I have the honour to be, my Lord, 44 Your Lordship's most c.bedient humble servant, 44 lIOwARD OF EFFINGHAM, Acting as Earl Idardial of Wand.

" THE PROTEST AND REMONSTRANCE OF CAROLIU QUEEN OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. , " Your Majesty having been pleased to refer to your Privy Council the Queen's Memorial, claiming as of right to celebrate the ceremony of her Corona• tion on the 19th day of July, being the day appointed for the celebration of your 'Majesty's Royal Corona tion, and Lord Viscount Sidmouth, one of your Ma jesty's Principal Secretaries of State, having conk municated to the Queen the judgment pronouncing against her Majesty's claim; in order tcrpreserve het just rights, and those of her successors, and to pre vent the said Minute being in aftertimes referred to as deriving validity from her Majesty's supposed ac quiescence in the determination therein expressed, the Queen feels it to be her bounden duty to enter her most deliberate and solemn Protest against the said determination ; and to affirm and maintain, that by the laws, usages, and customs of this realm, frogs time immemorial, the Queen-Consort ought of right to be crowned at the same time with theKing'►Majesty. " In support of this claim of right her Majesty's Law Officers have proved before the said Council, from the most ancient and authentic records, that Queens-Consort of this realm have, from time imma mortal, participated in the ceremony of the Corona• tion with their Royal husbands. The few exceptions that occur demonstrate, from the peculiar circom. stances in which they originated, that the right it self was never questioned, though the exercise of it was from necessity suspended, or from motives of policy declined. " Her Majesty has been taught to believe that the most valuable laws of this country depend upon, ma derive their authority from custom; that your Mk jesty's Royal prerogatives stand upon the same basis: the authority of ancient usage cannot therefore be rejected without shaking that faundation upon whir!' the most important rights and institutions of the country depend. Your Majesty's Council, hover: without controverting any of the facts or rage upon which the claim made on the part of 14r Mr jest) , has been supported, have expressed a jodgmege in opposition to the existence of such right. Bat the Queen can place no confidence in that juJg when she recollects that the principal individuals b 1 whom it has been pronounced were formerly be successful defenders ; that their opinions have wavel with their interest, and that they have since beams the most active and powerful of her persecutors: sul less car. she confide in it, when her Majesty calls to mind that the leading Members of that Cannel , when in the service of your. Majesty's Royal father, reported in the most solemn form, that Documml refkctinz upon her Najcay were satisfactettly dor AMUSEMENTS PREPARING IN HONOUR OF TILE CORONATION, A Balloon and Parachute will ascend from one (If the Parks at twelve o'clock. Two persons will rise in the Balloon, and it is said that one of them will descend in the Parachute. A Regatta and Boat-race are preparing for the' , Serpentine River, in Hyde Park. •The most expert Watermen on the Thames are engaged to start at one o'clock, and fifty of the handsomest boats will be in attendance to receive company. In the evening, the banks of the Serpentine will be , illuminated with coloured lamps, Chinese lanterns, and transparencies. Bands of music will be stationed at different points, and a grand fire-work will be dis played on the right bank of the Serpentine. A man of war, dressed with all her colours, will be anchored between Blackfriars and Waterloo-bridges, which will fire salutes and salvos from the commence ment of the coronation ceremony, throughout the day. And six men of war's launches, fitted up as rocket-boats, will row backwards and forwards from Southwark-bridge to Westminster-bridge during the day, and after dark throw rockets and signals. At night, several of the largest rockets will be thrown up from Primrose-hill, by which light-balls will be suspended by parachutes in the air, nearly a mile high, where they will continue to burn during many minutes, and will be visible from every part of the town. ..._ __...._ All the Public Offices will be illuminated. To this we may add, that the prison ship usually moored off Somerset-house is removed to Cotton-' garden, for the purpose, probably, of lodging any of the guests at the Hall who may be refractory. The LoRD M*von is, we are happy to state, so far recovered from his indisposition, that he will most certainly be present in person, at the ceremony of the Coronation to-morrow. The LORD MAYOR has given orders for every Con stable in the City to be on duty to-morrow morning at six o'clock, and not to quit till ordered. The City Barge is ordered to be ready to-tnorrow morning by five o'clock, to receive the Company by six, who, with the Corporation of London, the MAYOR of OXVORD, t(e. will partake of an elegant dejcune on board. _ The applications for admission tickets to the diffe rent galleries this morning have been very numerous. The most extensive preparations are making for a Public Illumination, at the west end of the town, to celebrate his MAJESTY'S Coronation. The Treasury, the Admiralty, Somerset House, and Northumberland House, are to be illuminated in a very grand style. The Monument, on Fish-street-hill, is surmounted by a Crown ; and the gallery is to be decorated by a number of variegated lamps. The LORD MAYOR has given orders for the Mansion-House to be deco rated in the most brilliant manner. His Most Excellent Maitsrr has been graciously pleased to command, that on the Evening of the Coronation Day, in addition to the other Theatres already announced, the Sur rey Theatre, the Coburg Theatre, and Astley's Amphitheatre, shall be-opened gratuitously to the Public. And in order to prevent confusion and secure comfort to the audience, they are to be admitted by tickets only to the different pacts of the re spective Theatres. Every person who wishes to attend is to apply between the hours of ten and two on Thursday next, at the office of each of the above Theatres, where Tickets will be delivered. Each individual, on delivering his name and address, may obtain two tickets, one for a Lady and one for a Gentleman. No more will be issued than for the number of persons the House will conveniently hold. THE KING'S COURT. Yesterday, at half-past one o'clock, Isis MAJESTY held a Court, at which the Foreign Ministers spe cially appointed to attend the KING at his Corona tion, were introduced to his MAJESTY in due form by the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. They were— The Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, from the Emperor of Aus tria; the Duke de Grammont, from the King of France; the Count de Stackelberg, from the Emperor of Russia; the Prince Hatzfeldt, from the King of Prussia; the Prince Partana,- front the King of Sicily ; the Marquis de Santa Cruz, from the King of Spain ; the Count de Molke, from the King of Denmark ; General de Ncuffer, from the King of Wirtemberg; and the Count de Prulomme, from the King of Sardinia.

The Count de LOWENHEILM, Lieutenant-General in the Armies of his Majesty the King of SWEDEN and NORWAY, bis Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to his Majesty the King of FRANCE, was introduced by Baron STERNHELD, the Swedish Minister. After several other presentations (including the American Minister), his MAJESTY held an investi ture of the Order of the Thistle, and was graciously pleased to confer the honour of Knighthood upon. Viscount MELVILLE, the Earl of LAUDERDALE, and the Earl of CASSILIS, and afterwards invested the Noble Personages with the Order of the 'Thistle. His MAJESTY held a Privy Council; also gave au diences to the Earl of HARROWBY, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, and Viscount MELVILLE. The Court broke up a little before five o'clock. Among the most brilliant State equipages in the numerous assemblage were those 41f the Duke of GRAMMONT, who had two State carriages; that in which he rode, the upper panels and the front were entirely of glass, and the upper ornaments of silver; the outsides of the panels were entirely gilt; the state liveries were yellow, lined with crimson, richly ar.d profusely ornamented with silver lace, except the hats of the footmen and coachman, which had broad gold lace upon them. There were two run• ning footmen, or basques, ith fanciful jackets and sashes of silver lace, red breeches, profusely deco rated with silver lace on the sides and round the knees, and also with rosettes of silver. 'They wore sandals, over silk stockings, and net silk cravats of different colours; they also wore caps, or fanciful bonnets, of silver lace, inclin;ng on the right side. Upon the whole, it was a most splendid and fanciful equipage. The ILusiaa special Arnhastador on- the -Corona-
