The Doke of LEINATXR, in a low tone of voice, in timated his entire disapprobation of the proceeding uraitot her Majesty, by Bill of Pains and Penalties. • —Tie N o ble I)ukt felt persuaded the public mind was justly impressed with the apparent injustice of that measure, and lie imclared his intentions to oppose the Bill in evLry stage.

The following is an extract frees the pper of the 19th of Jaly :---- "Captain La Fort, of the scanner Jane, states, that • staring his stay it St. Thomas's, there came in a British sbiy..of tire line, commanded by a Near-Admiral, a frigee, and a wan of war brig, a French frigate, and a Freffchinan of tsar brig, all reported to be cruising for pirates and slave vessels. The French frigate Duchess d'Angoulerne, off St. Bartholomew's, captured tw3 piratical schooners. The crews, together with the Captain and Officers, made their escape by jump ing, overboard and swimming ashore. The frigate proceeded to Martinique with her prizes.

The sessadous raised in the minds of ministerial writers by the lanasx's Letter to the Korst, do trot appear to have abased. Their rage against it is full as violent to-day as it was on Monday, and truly they have reason in their rage ; for the Letter is certainly calculated to do an :nfinite deal of injury to their cause. Its matter and its manner they may cen sure for their strength, and they may condemn as ill directed and ill-timed. They may secretly de plore its pablicatirn as disappointing all their hopes of her M%JtATI'd submission, and of destroying every chance of removing from their employers the odium and the awful responsibility they had incurred ►y the prosecution of the tdr•►:r.n. The nature and the ten dency of the Letter had been doubtless deliberately weighed by her llsiesvr ; and the publication of it is her own affair. Of the propriety of the circumstances she states, the arguments she employs, and the lan guage she expresses, she must be admitted to be the fittest judge, who is the party who has been solely and most deeply concerned in the affair at issue, and must alone be answerable fur the result. It is an easy task for those ter charge impresience ear complaints who hare no experience of sufferings. We hear other people's calamities, as DRAM SWIIT judici ously observes, with a great deal of Christian patience. If the persecuted and afflicted are to be denied a vent to their distress, it deprives them of the last conso lation of the wretched, and gives strength and sanction to the oppressor. Examples there may be of mag nanimity under oppression, where the sufferer sub mitted without murmuring at the infliction. ANNA BOLETN, when she bid her head upon the Work, at the instance of her husband, Nanny, could beseech the Almighty to preserve his MAJEser long to reign over his people, and to declare that a more gentle or mild a Prince never swayed sceptre! But such an example is an instance more fit for admiration than for imi tation. Least of all can they be allowed to censure the different style which the maguatti 000 ity of her pre sent 31s.triery pursues, who would only increase the cause of her suffering in proportion as she succumbed. Least of all can they be allowed to condemn the style of her Itls.szsry's Letter on account of its hire's,- perance, who, without any other provocation than what its spirit gave them, have indulged in a strait of Invective unparalleled even by themselves. virulence is excited by the appeal the Letter makes to, the feelings of the public. The whole affair Might be conducted very smoothly to the end they wish, were it not for the.popular clamour which these complaints excite. tier ?Jitneys' has appealed to the rabble, and imbibed their spirit I Mee ii 4egredeti the swinish multitude, and she adopts Mir Style!

By the Duke of Kent packet, arrived at Painiouth from Lisbon, we learn, that though the diecentent of the Portuguese has reached an alarming height, no popular commutions had taken place. All ranks were inipatiently looking fur the return of Marshal Beres ford front Rio Janeiro, in the hope that he would bring directions fur ameliorating the political condition of the people, and thus obviate the necessity of resort ing to measures similar to those pursued in Spain. By a ma* which arrived yesterday, we hale re ceived Dutch Papers to the 12th inst. They supply no intelligence of interest. A paragraph dated Berlin the 3 insf. says, 6. Onr papers do not yet contain ary thing respecting a representative Constitution, which 1 aspen had said was to have published to day"—the natal anniversary of the King of Prussia. Other accounts state, that the long talked of Con etitntion, is to consist of nothing more than the plan which was said to be arranged some time since, for giving provincial . states to the different secsions of the Prussian monarchy, After the Middlesex address to the Queen had been presented yesterday, the Committee dined together, at Kensington : S. C. Whitbread, Esq. in the chair, sup ported on the right by Sir (I. Noel, Mr. Flanagan. and Mr. Benson ; P. Moore, Esq. N. P. was Vice-Pre sident. In the course of the evening. it was an nounced, that the Queen was approaching, when the company immediately repaired to a most spacious bal cony in the front of the house; when her Majesty had the condescension to order the carriage to step, while the company, with their glasses in their hands, una nimously drank her health, with three times three. Mr. Flanagan had informed her Majesty, and in the course ofthe evening assured the company, that if the Roman Catholics of Ireland, however labouring turner disabilities, were offered Emancipation on the casaba that they should decline praying for the Queen, they would refuse it—as their conscience alone dictated to them in religious affairs, and he was happy that nei ther King nor Parliament had any controul over them in that respect. A respectable paper of this morning states, with con fidence, that his Majesty has given up his intention of a sea excursion. It would have been considered very unseasonable in the King's taking his pleasurable In dulgence at the moment when his Queen is undergoing prseeention by the extraordinary measure of a Bill of , Pains and Penalties.

MICR MANE THEATRE. Last night Mr. liesa commenced the series of the per. fonnances, with which he designs closing his splendid career, at least for a time, on this side the Atlantic. The Play chosen for this occasion, was Richard the Third, in a hieh arduous character Mr. Shan displayed in full vigour. all those origiealties which so peculiarly distinguish kin from all his contemporaries as well as predecessors. And es this style is founded on no imitation of others, se is it beyond the reach of effective imitation itself. It will not be necessary for us to enter into a detailed account of a per formance which has been so long the familiar object of admiration with the British public. it need only be said that the acting was never more spirited, nor never received more enthusiastic marks of favour—both the actor and the audience appeared to be guided by the reffeetiois of their approaching temporary separatios ; the one evincing a rstrenuous desire to leave the remembrance of his laurels fresh in the minds of those who had bestowed them, whilst the other appeared equally anxious to keep pace with the efforts made to please them, by badly expressiog their ap probation. The interest white doe public take in these per formances was distinctly visible bs the minded ennctienee which, sin the first night of them, was assembled to Pllllll eipate in the pleasure thus albrded. The manner in which WO& Itteolte l rebate the highest credit on Mr. Et.ustron. whose Nberality In all that eoeeerns the comfort or gratilinlion of the public, manifests itself on all occasions. The general arrangement Is judicious, and tke decorations and dresses are in the highest degree tasteful and splendid. Mr. Boole, who Is announced In the bills, is engaged for a few nights, acquired an ample share of applause in the part of itiehoond—ids dress, when equipped for the field, is magnificent ; and if we Might he permitted to ere utterance to such an opinion, a little too rrrherrhe for his figure—be seems to sink under the weight of so much finery. Mrs. EOSITON gave powerful effect to the widowed Quern. It is well known that some ports of this Play contains ro fleetions of a political stature, which, without swerving mush from the straight path, may be made to apply to certain passing events which bear a lowering aspeet over our poli tical horizon at the present moment. And inch Is the deep and universal participation in these questions, that even when our eountr) men, retiring from the stormy business of polities. spelt relaxation in the tinsel mimicry of the Tbeatm this restless spirit of the times, impatient even of so abort a eonstrsint, must break forth. Our readers will probably be asters., that in part of this Play wherein Lady Anne, the tyrant's sponse, is summoned to prepare for her coronatioe, she breaks /nib into an exclamation, hoping divine ven geance may light on her head, "'Lyre man can say, " Leap Lire the Queers." The concluding words, ho ever the context might breathe a contrary send mat, struck span the ears of the audience, sad awakening a responsive cord in the breasts of ell, wen hailed with a loud and long cheer. The isind, thus excited, was on the watch during the remainder of the performance, and some parts, which deal largely in lieentions rellezioas red maxims on the nature of Royalty, were marked by the approbation of a part of the audience.

ARRANT: I RX R4 . l7's WITHIN AND kilifOUT • TEE gOUSE OF LoRDs. The preparations in the teener of the House of Lords are nearly complettult , M llPtstiltions trade below the Bar we hate alreadritiscrlind. As soon as strangers were admitted, Mr. Itrtinthilm, Mr. Men ses, Dr. Lnshington, and Mr. Tindal, wereled in by Sir Thomas Tyrwhit, to see these preparations. Ex actly before the middle of the Bar the wituess is to stand, with the interpieter anti the short-band wrft. r oa either side of them. The spare in *bleb the dire? are to be stationed is railed on both sides. Deviants! the 'rail on the right side is a Spice for bee Majesty's Counsel. By the present arrangement, her Majesty's ' Counsel addressing a witness 'could have onlv a side flew of him, and areordittilly BrougliaM6srv gestrd, that it would be nicesisri 'to Affix sonkesiort of rail at the 'bark of the Bar, which wrmid keep the witness so far backward as to enable the e:eamittin.; Counsel to have a full view of his person. Tent sug • gestions will be forthwith carried i7netnii Inside the Bar, immediately beneath the sporvehe-e the Queen's Counsel are to stand, is a small Seat f,r her Majesty. Sir Thciiitas Tyrwhit mentioned to Mr. Brougham that a chair would be played near this seat for one of ber Majesty's ladies. Ile intimated that her Majesty's wishes as to any further -arrange ment for her accommodation would receive instant attention. Sir Thomas Tyrwhit was applied to, to know if the tientlenteu connected with the Daily Papers might expect to have a particular plate reserved fur their accommodation. Sir Thomas replied, that he could not give any orders to that effect. It had been already calculated, that the space appropriated to steamier.: woaßconveniently contain but eighty persons, and he said he would feel it his duty to admit indiscri minately the first eighty persons who would present themselves. It had been understood that doling► the course of the proceedings is Parliament against the Queen, civil power was to be alone entrusted with the prescr vation of order and the securing a free approach rq Parliament. It still be seen, hon•ever, in our report of the proceedings in the House of Lords last night, that though the Queen has not been impeached, an A4lllllOllllllllll 'Med to Ms Majesty, to order the at tetielasee of the Ottani., as is wmal in eases of i:n• p arhment. The foresight of his Majesty's led them to anticipate this vote ; for soldiers have, us we have intimated, been some days stationed round the Houses of Parliament. We understand that a great number of special c;:n -! stables have been sworn in, to attend in the line of her Majesty's approach to the House of Lords to , morrow, for the purpose of preserving the public ' peace. We trust, however, that upon an ',erasion s, eolemn and important, the caution, 11 Os proper, was unnecessary. The people are too stronely its pressed to be likely to commit any acts of violt IWO'. 'lke attendance of the Peers in Parliament yester day, was very numerous ; and among the noble Lords present were some whose previous attendance hail been so rare, or at so distant a period, that the doorkeeper. were unacquainted with their persors,: and were obliged to ask their names. Several Peers have claimed the privilege of absent ing themselves from the inquiry in the House, on ac count of years. "It is the first time," said Lord F. 1 " that I have discovered the benefits of old age." The Peers hare been all summoned to attend in their respective places to-morrow, and from day to day , du ri ng the continuance of the tri..l. Aiming .other-. I we understand, that the Honourable THosiais Mon vox BaaalLav was summoned under the style and title of Earl of BUKELET, and that the young. Nobleman has declined to obey the summons, alleging that it ought to have beer dir till to his eldest brother, 1% is s•ippoArci that the Hasse will enforce their order, and that the young man will have greatness thrust upon him. It is 1 carious question. It le to be hoped that for the sake of saving appear ances, the King's Ministers, who are so ;seasonally im plicated in the success of the Bill which :hey )have in troduced into the Anise of Lotds, will have the grave to chains leave of absence front the discussion, or that ' they will receive from the impartial judgment of the House an order not to sit and vote on tho question. They are the actual prosecutors, and may be . yes called to account by Parliament for the ad which they gave to his Majesty on the subject. The northern roads are so crowded with `troops nn • their march towards the Metropolis, that it would seem as if the town was to be put in.a stateof blockade.
