The Akin of our Gallic neighbours are assumiag 1 au a spect of considerable importance; opt only re- 1 lar ding thiressolves, but with respect to the poftible imbue of those affairs upon the arraortmemb most European Nations. Trifling, uis the gem? al question relative to the sex of a child whose birth is e ireaching, that question, respecting the dally-ex pected aceonchement of the Duchess de Stant, is of the highest political importance; and the event of *agitation may cause, or prevent, the revival of • scene at which hasuaity shudders--that of fierce do mestic war. France, at the present moment, may be sail to be torn by throe factions; the moderate Royal ists, the ultra or violent Royalists, and it will be no great misnomer to call the third party the Constitu tional. At the head of the first, is the reigning KING, erttora keen adversity has taught to be moderate; the second is headed by the other branches of the Royal Family; who, we believe, will be taught by nothing short of a Revelation ; so bigotted are they to the idiotical maxim of jure dicing, and so misled as to their supposed power of supporting it. The third party is, at preset, the weakest, in point of open poli tical strength; bat in fact, it is no doubt, the moat formidable of all. It is composed, we suspect, of some of the Marshals, and the other survivors of the- Reftlution who have been eminently distinguished for their talents, and their attachment to anti monsrcbial, or, at least, Constitutional principles —This party, we believe, is possessed of immense strength, and it has the art to conceal it ; but, should occasion offer to enable that party to strike an effec tive blow, we should not be at all surprised to hear of its having entirely subverted the present Government. This, we take to be the general outline of the politi cal state of F-ance ; and we have now, only to remind our revelers of the Salique Law, (which prevails in France, and prohibits female soccessioe to the Throoe,) to satisfy them bow important will be the effect, should the Duchess de Branes child prove to be a female ; for, then there will be no prospect of Bovanox succes sion beyond the present members of the reigning (a rtily. Is that case, the violence of the factions will be increased ten-fold ; and, in almost the same degree, will the Constitutional party be strengthened. The death of the present Loris will bring these parties into collision ; and in this trial of strength. we shall h.tre bees mistaken, indeed, if the Coutitatioaals do not come off triumphant. Most of the events which have transpired in France, within the last six years, contribute to confirm a former suspicion that the Bocnnoxs are generally disliked. The en thusiastic welcome of Naro•som from Elba I the ne ressity of keeping James:pc armies on foot to drapes the Putsch people into a voinftesift-steeopelow of their . . legitknote Ruler ; the commotion, of 1816 ; and the aNsaosination of the Due de Beaus, from a■ avowed hatred of bis family, would alone be sulicieut to con ince us, that the French were restless sad impatient u:aler the prevent Uorernment ; but the lake destruc• Lion of the freedom of the press, is perfectly decisive in it•rlf. Such a measure, under any tloveronsent, we hare ever considered u imprudent, and as a proof of the want of political wisdom in its authors. It is the hated ►adge of despotism ; it makes men gloomy aid filocious ; and it Is the admitted promoter of con spirer!. THE QUEEN. The person person who filled the situation of cabin-jelner, on board the Leviathan, during the time the Princess of Wales continnesi on board that ship, is now in Dublin. His name is John Byrne; he is in the employment of Mr. &sail/ell, piano-lorte maker, Marlborough-street The following account in his own words, contains his " recollections " of the conduct of the Princess during her stay on board that ship:— " The situation of Cage-joiner, gave me an opportu nity of being well acquainted with many of the transac tions that occurred in her Royal Highness's cabin. It ens pert of my duty to eater the cabin is which she slept, at an early hour in the morning, to raise the blinds, and also at night to lower them.

Calms, SOFT. 13.—The magailiesrat flotilla, pre egad by the Royal Geary yacht, oesnimantiod by COSIMINIIIIO the Hon. Sir C. Poet, with his Majesty on hoard, had scarcely moored la sir roadstead. when the inhabitants of West and Rest Cowes repaired to the Market-place, to consider of the most appropriate eamas of giving to their Illustrious visitor the retep- MSS to which his exalted character and rank so justly end& bhp. There was little time for preparation, aid the following Address, the mere effect of the so most, was at ogee unanimously adopted 44 TO ena MOST EXCILLINT IMAJIISTT, GOMM IT. " We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects the isl- Miriset Cowes, beg leave to approach your Majesty entimeots of profound respect and rummies, and In air heartfelt joy and satisfaction upon the d Majesty's arrival in the Isle of Wight. • 'my loyal feeling towards our Majesty, we have at additional motive for the wish we now pre sume to eclertaia of cooveying to year Majesty the as enenoce of our pride and grati fi cation, arising from the circumstance of your Majesty baring been pleased to bums the proprietor of a residence in Cowes, sines your Majesty's last visit. It is with the deepest feelings of dutiful attachment to your illustrious house, that we avail ourselves of the present opportunity to assure your Majesty of our unfeigned regard and of ietieu for your angina person, and at the same time so.fltsr our simmer Frazee for your Majesty's long and prosperous miffs." The next step was to communicate to the King the object and wishes of the meeting, when his Majesty most graciously condescended to receive the Address on board the yacht, through the medium of the Chair man of the meeting, and a deputation of six other re spectable residents of the town. At eleven o'clock the following morning these gentlemen embarked from the Parade, amidst a concourse of both sexes, who were collected to witness a scene so novel and inter esting. His Majesty received the deputation with that dignified condescension and affability for which he is distinguished ; and after the Address had been read by the Chairman, was pleased to return the fol lowing Answer : .‘ I receive with great satisfaction the loyal and affec tionate Address of the inhabitants of Cowes, expressive of their constitutional and personal attachment to me. I have great pleasure in visting this maritime part of me domiolotss. and in witnessing its prosperity and happi ness ; and l fully appreciate the affectionate feelings of its attached and loyal inhabitants." The deputation then returned to the shore. and the Royal squadron, accompanied by the yachts of several noblemen and gentlemen, immediately weighed anchor, and, under the influence of a fine favourable breeze left the roadstead for a short cruise. His Majesty has signified hie intention of taking' possession in a day or two of the elegant mansion of which he has recently become the proprietor at Cowes: but sturdy Neptune has so ingratiated himself with OW England's Monarch, that we hardly think any weather would tempt him. during this trip at least, to rest oa shore even for a right. We understand he has expressed his intention to disembark tomorrow, to attend divine service at our church. The illumination took place on Thursday on both sides of oar beautiful Medina, and .i .xlsh.pkolleaworks wed bowfin.* whirls were sliiphyesi en the ~rive, formed an amphitheatre of ►rilliancy thu could scarcely be equalled. The King, on the day ►e embarked from Brighton, felt the effects of sea-sickness, occasioned in a great degree by his being obliged to answer many despatches below ; but the weather baring since been snore favour able, his Majesty is recovered Irons the inconvenience he first experienced. This day (Saturday) the Royal squadron is cruising is t►e Southampton Water, but , it is not expected his Majesty will land there, as he has commanded a select party to meet him is Cowes Roads, to dinner, at 5 o'clock this Jay. It is expected that his Majesty will remain on our coast the whole of next week.--(Porlsosowth Paper.) But whatever may be the disputes in France ; and whether the French people may ultimately choose to rject the &masons, or merely to contract their power, we treat oar Rulers will not think of plunging this country into another political crusade. They have bad sufficient experience ; and, if that has pro duced a little wisdom, they will happily justify the proverb.—That expatiatea however has unfortunately been acquired at the public expeace--an expence too, which is severely felt from the highest to the lowest, and it likely to be as severely felt by our posterity. ,II tl:` u' - G4llOllll 111142711 t.

Let them enjoy singles. in a language which, we swear, half of them do sot ea dentant; but let theme not, we beg, attempt to improve us by engrafting their fashionable follies upon the P..ag lish stage.—No doubt, this is all very clownish in us ; and we mast have odious Bastian ears it so ; but it is our misfortune, and we hope we shall be pitied for It. One circumstance occurred at this Theatre on Satur day, which made us, indeed, feel shame at the state of degradation into which our manners hare tango. A person in the pit was expressing hie disapprobation of the piece, when a cry commenced of Torn him oat 1 Turn him out !" We need not discuss Wm abstract pro priety of this arginiecntuns:ed hominess; for, as the piece was pantomimic, the man might have hissed °otitis lusts, sad yet not hare interfered with the exquitite ocular enjoyment of his more tasteful compattiose. Neither was there the least danger that the delicate ma sibility of these foreigners would be affected at the die approbation ; for, certainly, never did, or could. any people enjoy such perfect selfpossession, as they did.— However, as the pit, to their credit, did not offer to mach, the offending critic, one of Hotspur's Fops, descended from the boxes into the pit, as though he mitered « th' instalment deadly breach."—He was followed by at least four of his companions; and the united efforts of them eacceeded in violently forcing the wan out of the Theatre. Flushed with their mighty conquest, they relented; and, to the ansoyasco of ladies, scrambled and clambered up into the loxes, amid the shame of their companious n applause ! IV, now, (vulgar onasgb, so doubt !) thought this was not exactly the matt o f: Clastleseem. We were taught, that at a public we should be careful not to disturb the convesianno4 l others. and especially that of the female sex. Nat temporal 0 mores !—How the termer are chugs" ONI the latter debased ! NA KWlit BT iiii-Arier. If s.seceessioo of the best entertainments, as sate ' ' a liberal inig;gement of the best performers be erite-1 rions to judge of good management. the Haymarket Theatre certainly has strong claims on public pa ironer. On Saturday night, the Opera of Gig Nan neriag was repeated, and we never heard blr. Bea- NAM to greater advantage. After the play, • new after-piece was performed, (Oyer the Water) and was very well received. The plot is simple. Young Traply is betrothe.l to the daughter of Count no risn, in Paris, but retiring to Ragland. he is in formed that a match has been made for him, with Miss Pat y Angelico Ben, who in the mean time goes off to Calais with a Cockney. On hearing of this, Traply follows them, and displays to advantage his talents foe intrigue at the expence of the Cockney. However, be ing strongly attached to the little French girl, he does sot interrupt the nuptials of the Cockney and his bride. This piece is more remarkable for its drollery and humour, than its ingenuity. It is considerably indebted for its success, to the able support it received from the performers. Oass.ur played the Cockney well. Itcsseu. in the character of Traply song a parody on Lore's rows, Dreams with very great effect. Miss R. Coast looked the little French Girl admirably, and delighted her audience with the sim ple and harmonious style in which she gave the song of Roy's Olfe. Mrs. Baize, in the character of Mies Poly Angelina Bane, gave us a more favourable specimen of her abilities than we witnessed before; and we have no hesitation in saying that with a little attention, she may become a valuable icquisitios to the stage, in that pariieslar line. She over did that character a little. But indeed in that particular, she was not singular, for it would be impossible to find. in the whole range of eccentrics, any thing at all like the Cockney that Oxiiinnv exhibited.
