His Majesty has visited both of the Theatres, and one of the worst of Tory papers says, with perfect nun-cludance, " We understand that it is his Ma jesty's intention to gratify his subjects by appearing frequently among them"—if so, " Farewell, a long farewell, to all their greatness"—The Tory news papers, and their infamous supporters, may truly exclaim, " Othello's occupation's gone" the moment the King allows himself to have a personal know ledge of those who have been malignantly misrepre sented to him. The great Peter of Russia, whose many eccentricities found a full excuse in the fact that they originated in a desire to serve those he was destined to govern, used frequently to go out entirely unattended and in disguiso—in one of these nocturnal perambulations he became the inmate for the night of a cottage, where, in the course of the evening, in conversation with his host, f TIM. NATIONAL Iltdi§Tilt. he touched upon politics—the cottager enlarged upon the diatreces and oppressions of his country, and concluded by paying a just tribute to the goodness of his Monarch, while he loaded with execrations the ear-wig-Ministers who poisoned his mind and prejudiced him against his subjects, the better to fulfil their iniquitous views. Early on the morrow his suite surrounded the cottage, and to the astonishment of his trembling host claimed their Monarch—the Czar looking upon them with eon- . tempt, exclaimed, " Behold this worthy man—he, during the last.evening, told me that truth, to the concealment of which your lives have been devoted." So much' for history—and if England possess a Monarch at least as good as the patriotic Emperor, is he not surrounded by courtiers equally mischievous —equally misrepresenting his subjects—and fur what ? why, to enable them, by creating distrust of their loyalty, to make him suppose that the reign of 1 1 terror only is fitted for a people who, in point of fact, venerate their Sovereign inherently—whose first essay at any thing like harmonic power is uni formly " God save the King"—who can and would protect their King at the risk of life, fortune, and every thing that is dear to them, while they would run the same hazard to vent their feelings on the Ministers who have abused him, libelled the Iwo plc, placed in abbcyance the Constitution, over whelmed the nation with distress, and can coolly look on while they enjoy the wicked fruits of their labours—but "it is his Majesty's intention to gra tify his subjects by frequently appearing among them," and the distorted view be has received of their feelings Will be removed—he will find that the natural attachment of Englishmen to the head of the Executive Government is undiminished, in despite of all the attempts to decrease it which lib: Ministers have made, by shamelessly dragging forth the Royal name in excuse tisr their delinqticocies.—.- It is now currently reported that on the delicate subject which has recently so seriously agitated the public mind, his Majesty is willing to cede to the "wishes of his subjects, by replacing her Majesty's name to the Liturgy, but that Ministers oppose it— and shall it be borne that fifteen creatures like them shall oppose themselves to the will of nearly as many millions—that they shall, to keep their places,. keep up a strife between the government and the people, that proffers an alternative of despotism or revolution. Every division in that House which ought to express the voice and wishes of the people proclaims aloud the necessity of Reform—that on the motion of the Marquis of Tavistock was triumphantly op posed to every expression contained in the loads of petitions which, subscribed with the names of all that comprise the honour, honesty, and respectability of the United Kingdoms, have, night after night, almost hidden the Speaker from the view of the Memlnrs—and can such a system last ?—can such quackeries be much longer tolerated—is the col lected wish and demand of the worth of England to be derided by the finger of Lord Castlereagh point ing to the gla ions majority—a majority, the means of returning which have been too often shewn to FROM LAST 'vicars GAZSTTR.

In our proceedings of the Court of King's Bench will be found the particulars of the ceremony of passing sentence upon Sir Francis Burdett. The Court could not avoid a sentence with a verdict of a Jury staring them in the face, while they refused to disturb that verdict—but we hesitate not to de clare our opinion, that had the Court been constituted as it ought to have been—had Mr. Justice Bayley occupied the Cuter seat in that Court, to which his seniority in the Court, his ability, and his humanity, equally joined to entitle him, the sentence would have been a fine of six shillings and eight-pence, and an immediate discharge. However, constituted as the Court is, we really rejoice in the sentence as it is—the fine (which will be paid by subscription 45 among his applauding fellow-citizens) would be nothing to the honourable and worthy Baronet, if it came out of his own pocket; and as to the impri sonment for three months, we cannot but felicitate ourselves, and congratulate the true friends cf our country that the Court has been so far influenced by popular feeling as to make his absence from its ser vice of so short a duration—we repeat, however, our conviction, that, with the FATHER of the Court dissenting on the point of the legality of the trial, TILE HONOURABLE BARONET OUGHT NOT To HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP FOR JUDGMENT AT ALL. HIS Itf iIJESTI'S VISIT TO BOTH THEATRES. • On Tuesday night his Majesty attended Drury Lane Theatre, and was most rapturously received. On \Veil ittsilav night, i,i consequence of public notice' having been an en of his Majesty's intention to honour Covent- Girden Theatre with a visit, the doors were surrounded ' at an early hour by numerous crowds of persons 411X10111, to secure a seat. The doors wets opeheil at six o'clock, being half an hour earlier than is usual. This prodevt • arratii. , ement was highly cotr i nieridable, as it gave Hine to ;lie audience to settle before the arrival of his Majesty,• ai,d prevented much of the confusion which took place • at the other theatre, where but few families had an portuility of gaining their seats to be; present at the • entratice of his Alojesty. The instant the doors were opened a violent rush took place, anti in little more than two minutes the pit, gal-- 1. ries, and those boxes that hail not been taken. were completely filled. l'he dress and private boxes filled mine leisurely, but in a short time tney were. tilled ty as numerous :utd elegant an assemblage of ladies as Cr er - graced a theatre. l'he heat was su excessive that . many • females, and even men, tainted away in the pit and gal leries. The humane exertions of triJny getiagMbn in; in the lower tier of boxes, in taking up females and riven; wbotiad fainted away,from the pit, were particularly, conspiethlll!. At seven o'clock his Nlaiesty, with his . strite, entered., when the C 111111111. 1 ,111 with which he was receiveil by the audience, iris beyond description. The curtain, drew tip, and the entire company of the •theatre came. forward and song God save the King," in which a great portion of the audience joined chorus. At the cud ot each stanza die audience cheered, and such was the enthusiasm that pervaded the audience, that the anthem. was encored, and it was some time before the month of : applause subsided. His Majesty was dressed in a Field ;Marshal's titsikrrm, t , with a small star. His Royal Highneis-t he - Doke of! York sat on the right hand of his Majesty, mid his: Royal H'ghness the Duke of Clarence on his left.— Both the Royal Dukes were in their full uniform, and his Nlajesty appear.:J higitly gratified with the reception. which he met with, and bowed frequently iu the moss gracious and pleasing fIIJIIIIer, relteateoly placing hie hand upon his breast. The box iu which his Nlaksty sat was the nest to 'the stage, on the left of the audit:lice, in the dress circle.— The Lox was most elegantly fitted up with a superb' canopy of crimson and g old, surmounted by a' clown,' and lined throughout by crimson velvet. with the royal • . amts emblazoned in front. On the shge were the usual attendants of Yeoman of the Guard. The play was the 7rcePh Night. ih which Mr. Liston, was particularly effective as Sir Andrew Auechrek ; as. was also Mr. Fawcit as .Sir T 5 Belch, anti Mt., Tree, as rink. His Majesty appeared to be particularly pleased with the singing and mustc of ttie p ece. Om. the whole th! performances went off with little ii ore . interruption than was occasioned by persons•who Were inconveniently situated front the great pressure, and wiAs were not to be restrained, even by the presence of Royalty, itself, front dying out most lustily on occasions.. Hi s Majesty on his departure was gteeted with the tame demomtration of feeling as on his entrance. • Soon after thiltidgmentof the Court of King's Bench was pronounced on Thursday upon Sir Francis Burdett, several gentlemen, the most dis tinguished among the ranks of the opposition in Parliament, waited upon the worthy Baronet, and requested his permission that a subscription should be proposed to the public for the purpose thereby of raising the sum of :WOOL to pay the fine imposed upon him. The request was accompanied by an . assurance that the acqukstence of Sir Francis would. be esteemed as a fivour by his political friends, who, considering the princely tUrtune and munificence of the worthy Baronet. could, in proposing such a measure, have no other object in view than to lob- • tain tlw means of expressing their concurrence in the feelings that prompted him to write the letter • which has brought upon him the unfriendly notice of the ministers. Sir Francisßurdett expressed his gra- • , titude for the proposition, but requested that time may be allowed him to consider the propriety of accepting their other. Bills 'Of indictment were returned as " Tine Bills," against the Elitors of The Morning Pull, anti The Courier, fur scandalous libels on the Queen. A report was prevalent on Tuesday, which fir many reasons we tear is not true—it was, that his Majesty had determined to exercise his prL rogative by granting a free pardon to the worthy member tlyt Westminster. Such an act would create all envi able populartiy, and would meet the applause of all his Majesty's subjects. .~ ?
