JLLT 13, 1821. 1t bas not yet been ascertained that her MAJESTY has received as answer to her application for a Place at the approaching Coronation. Silence, it is often said, gives consent ; and an inference is drawn from the delay in making the reply. that the accommoda tion required is about to be granted. If her MA JESTY'S application had been designed to be refused, it is conceived it would have been immediately an swered in the negative. The interval that has elapsed has probably been occupied in consultation, and in forming fresh arrangements for a station that is suit able to her hiaJaart's rank. We are happy to find that this idea prevails, and that it has the happiest tendency to allay those alarms which the Ministerial prints had endeavoured to excite in consequence of her MAJESTY'S application. No sooner was her last letter to Lord SIDMOVTII made publicly known than it was attacked with all the virulence by which her per secutors have been distinguished, as an omen of dis order and tumult. It was assumed by this unmanly tribe that her MAJESTY'S presence in any station on the approaching occasion, would be ♦ery unacceptable to some personage or other, and they thought 'they could not discharge their duty better than by repre senting the notice as pregnant with the greatest an noyanee and danger. A little reflection might have taught them, that their own officiousness was the most likely to be producti►e of mischief. If their alarm was to be taken about tumult and blood- shed, who would he so rash as to be witnesses of the scene ? Who in the midst of panic could sit to gaze on the splendour of processions; and how are those purveyors of pavilions who have risked large sums in providing accommodation to expected spectators, to till the seats they have prepared, and indemnify them selves for the expense ? Wbat, besides, would be the r 'addendum' of a pageant, gorgeous as it could pen. Ably be, if those who occupy its ranks meet set the approving eyes ofelegant and tranquil crowds to reflect the admiration they desire? Of all the impolitic in- terferenees of which the flatterers of a Court have been guilty, the attempt to spread anxiety or gloom arOtod the solemnities and splendours of the Coronation are the most absurd and reprehensible. The attempt, we trust, will be speedily repressed, and the public mind restored to tranquillity by an assurance that her 311.12 STY'S request has obtained the most liberal acquiescence. Whatever may hare been advanced against her 31...testv's claim to be crowned as Queen Consort, not the shadow of a reason can be alleged against her right to be present at the Corona tion of the Kin°. What is wanting in reason, how ever, is endeavoured to be supplied by artifice ; aid no efforts have been spared to make up the lack of ar gument by the force of intimidation. The alarm has been spread ; but it has recoiled upon the party by whom it was given. The resolution of the Wean cannot be shaken, but by what affects her understand ing. Her fit crEavv has expressed her determination to be present at the intended ceremony ; and whether a Place be provided for her or not, those who have wit nessed her prior firmness cannot doubt she will fulfill her intention. In suds a case, good policy as well as justice requires the desired accommodation to be granted in the spirit of peace. To insist upon her blaJarry relinquishing her object, is to expect her ac quiescence in the attempt to degrade her. To conceive it possible that any other mesas than those already tried, will be employed to turn her from her purpose, into suppose that such as have predicted tumult, had ieteymined on its accomplishment. Advice. from Cephalonia, brought by the Flanders mail, dated th.24 4 0f June, state intelligence to Dove arrived there the day before that Vrachori, the capital of Molls, revolted on receiving the news of the death of the Patriarch, the Turks were massacred, and that the Synagogues as well as the Mosques, have been burnt down. The banks of Anatolia and Missolnnghi bear now noother lag than that of the Cross, and we reckon on the waters of the Morea 20 Greek cruisers, which are daily supplied by them with provisions. Letters from Salonichi say, that the Turks have mas• sacred a great part of the rich merchants, and that those who have been able to escape, have taken refuge in Trickeri, Island situated in the Gulf of Velo. This port is now one of the stations of the Insurgents, who communicate with those of Mount Pelican, and of the Canton of Zagora, the eastern part of Tbessaly. Letters front Cerigo (Cythera) say, that in Crite the Sfasiotea, united with the peasants of the mountains, closely blockade the Turks in the fortresses, where they are obliged to shut themselves up. All the islands of the Archipelago, except those of Tinos and Sepses have raised the standard of the Cress, and the commerce be tween Egypt and Constantinople is wholly intercepted by the armaments of the holy league of the Greeks. As for Epirus, we know that Ali Paeba holds oat fetus fully. Arta, Zagori, and all the districts inhabited by the tairistiaast sailed with the Atouslotls, daily obtain sods advantages over the may be considered as perfectly ►. affairs may take, it is probable that those provinces which have never been perfectly subjected, will act fall again under the authority of the Sultan. We learn, says the writer, that oar Government has resolved strictly to enforce the treaty of 21st March, 1L+00; according to which " the Barbary Corsairs can not navigate within 40 miles west of the lonian Sea." Now the benefit of this neutrality extends " indepen dently of the islands situated from Antone in the Adriatic to Cerigo, into the Archipelago of the Egean Sea," which leaves a fine line of operation for the vessels fighting under the gag of the Cross, since the Barbarians of Africa cannot approach the coasts of the Continent and of the Morea, without directly violating the positive stipulations of the treaty of 1800. An article from Brussels, dated the 9th of July says— Prince Metternich has arrived at his domain Joannisberg. Many other Diplomatic Characters belonging to the dif ferent Cabinets of Europe intend to visit the baths near the Rhine. The presence of the King of Prussia in those parts happening at the same time, it is thought likely that conferences (of course confidential) may take place on many important subjects. The Prince of Par tamia arrived at Brussels on the Sth, going to London as Ambassador Extraordinary from the King of Naples. The accounts from Spain contain no novelty, though considerable interest. Rumours of conspiracy and com motions continue, but no further disturbance than what we had previously noticed has taken place. A report has been presented to the Cortes on the plan proposed by the American Deputation on the state of their pro vinces, and the means of establishing the Spanish Con stitution in that qnarter. From the importance of the object, the consideration of some of the propositions has been postponed, and the decision on the whole, it is expected, will be adjourned to the next Cortes. An article from Chambery, dated June 30, gives some interesting particulars from Piedmont. For several days past a report had been in circulation in that pro vince that the King would not come te Piedmont, and that a part of the kingdom is to be subjected to the Aus trian Government. This rumour, spreading among all classes of the inhabitants, and particularly among the troops of the brave regiment of Savoy, has caused a general feeling of discontent in that corps, which was carried so far that the soldiers had formed the design of returning altogether to their homes with their arms and baggage. This plan was to have been put in execution after the rejoicings for the celebration of the festival of St. John ; but the Governor, and the other authorities of the city who had information of it, took such measures as defeated the plot on that very day. Subal terns and soldiers to the number of sixty have been ar rested and conducted to the citadel. where they will be interrogated. Government entertains the expectation of being able to discover the leaders by the declarations of the soldiers under arrest. Notwithstanding these ar rests the discontent continues. The presence of the Austrian troops in Piedmont for an indefinite period seems to be the cause of it. It is well known that the keys of Alessandria have been sent to King Charles Felix ; but the Austrians are not the less masters of that rampart of Piedmont. There has been talk of a num ber of executions which were to take place there In con sequence of the sentences of the military commission. Yesterday, at three o'clock, sOabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office In Downing -street. Yesterday the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Sitlmontb, the Marquess of Londonderry, and Viscount Melville, had audiences of his Majesty, at his Palace in Pall-mall. Yesterday at twelve o'clock, the Duke of Wellington, Viscount Palmerston, Sir Charles Long, Mr. Has kisses, and other official Gentlemen, assembled at the Chancellor of the Exchequer's house. The object of the assembly was to wake arrangements for the reduction of 'silences in their different de partments. The delay in not inserting the names of the new Peers in The Geaette, is said to arise front some dis satisfaction which has tsken place either in Ireland, or amongst the Irish Nobility resident in London, occasioned by certain exclusions. Rumour goes so far as to hint, that promises have not been most rigidly kept. Yesterday Count Stakelberg, and a numerous suite, arrived at his residence in Portland-place. The reigning Duke of Saxe Meinengen, is on bie way to this country, to be present at his Majesty's Coronation, after which his Serene Highness will spend some time with his Sister, the Duchess of Clarence. Lieutenant Edward Hall, R. N. left town • few days ago, to meet his Serene Highness at Calais. The Duke of Grammot, Ambassador Extraordinary from the French Court to attend the Coronation, was, for some years previons to the return of the King of Prance to Paris, an Officer in the 10th Hussars, when hie present Majesty was Colonel of it. A notice has been issued from the Lord Chamber lain's Office, that the Knights Commanders of the Order of the Bath will receive their mantles, bats, spun, swords, and belts, at that Mee on Monday next, upon payment of tbe Fees, and the production of their respective Letters of Summons to attend his Ma jesty's Coronation. Ire are authorised Is say that the Public Offices will he illuminated on the evening of the 19th instant.— (Mornisg Pett.)_ A magnificent Fete in honour of the Coronation is to be given at Carlton Palace ; the preparations are upon a most extensive scale, and it is the wish of his Majesty that it shall exceed in splendour the enter tainment given to the Sovereigns after the Peace. The contest for the Representation of the University of Oxford, in the room of Sir William Scott, is likely to be most severe. Mr. Heber, however, is the favourite Candidate, he has the support of Lord Holland, Lord Lamsdown, and Lord Grenville, Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning also give him their votes and all their interest. Sir John Nicholl has the Lord Chancellor with him, and all the host of Doctors' Commons into the bargain, The conspiracy of the East, which occupied during Men days the Court of Assizes at Riom, has been decided on. The accused have been declared not guilty by the jury on all the twenty-four charges. From various preparations making at the hotel purchased at Paris by the King of Prussia, it is sup posed that this monarch will shortly visit that capital. The Grand Jury at the Westasinster Snidest this morning, returned a true bill against James !Marty, Richard Rosbottom, William Hardy, Thomas Lee, and James Jeans, tot Murder. MIT TO IREIAND.

It was moved by Mr. O'Gorman, and seconded by Sir Edward Bellew— " Resolved, That a Committee of Thirteen be now appointed for the purpose of making the necessary pre parations and arrangements for the 19th inst.

Mr. WADDEN of Palace -street, a Protestant Gen tleman, communicated to the Meeting, the agreeable ietelligence, that the Lord Mayor did not intend to have the Statue in College-green dressed on the 12th instant, and which communication was received by the Meeting with every demonstration of kind and proper feeling. _ _ _ Just as the Meeting were breaking up, Mr.W. M CRPHT communicred to Lord Fingall, that a communication from the Lord Mayor and the Com mittee was then on its way to invite his Lordship and other Catholic lientlemen to join and unite with them in making arrangements to celebrate the approaching Coronation of his Majesty.--(Deblin Brewing Post.)

The embargoes on all the cargoes of grain from the Black Sea continued, which were paid fur. The Islands of Hydra, Spezia, and Iperza, have fitted out upwards of 70 ships, armed with from 16 to 20 guns each, which ♦isit vessels in the Archipelago, and it is said, seize on Turkish property. We have just received a letter from Palermo, dated the 14th inst., at which time all was quiet there. It adds, that Oo vernment had, within a few days, laid on the usual duty of _l5 saris on all foreign wheat." The Agricultural Report for Berwickshire, inserted in a late Berwick paper, says, " Notwithstanding the long and loud complaints of Agricultural distress, a farm in our vicinity was let within a few days of the term, at, it is said, full Bs. per acre above what it paid during the last 23 years ; when it was, with the best possible management, and the aid of the war prices, found sufficiently high. Tun Cuastetote.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Dy woke tried on the suit of armour in which he is to ap pear before the King in Westminster Hall. It might be termed a dressed rehearsal; and Astley's Amphi theatre had to boast of a select few of the Nobility and Gentry who were admitted upon this occasion, to wit ness the performance of the Champion ; the Duchess of St. Alban's, Lady Caroline Lamb, &c. being pre sent. The suit of armour is composed of burnished steel, and originally belonged to the proprietor of the Gothic Hall, in Pall Mall. The horse on which the Champion is to ride on the day of the Coronation, is quite familiar to the public eye. It is *handsome, strong, black and white Hanoverian horse, of the name of Cato, an old stager, and long accustomed to the glare of lamps, the sound of trumpets, and the poop and parapbeamilia attached to processions. The Champion is nailer She tuition of Mr. Blythe, the riding-master at Astley's, and has made great pro gress towards giving east to his character at the Co- ronation. The armour weighs upwards of seventy lbs. The Champion on being dressed mounted his charger with very little assistance, and immediately rode across the stage, bowing to the ladies; he then backed his charger with considerable ease and facility ; and as a proof of the steadiness of Old Cato, on one of his feet accidentally touching one of the side scenes, which fell down, he remaided perfectly quiet. The Cham pion was without his helmet and plume of feathers ; these latter articles not being quite finished. At the request of several of the ladies, the Champion, in the most gallant manner, appeared in the ride, and trotted round it several times. Mr. Dymoke retired for a short period, and then returned in the old suit of ar mour in which he hag been daily rehearsing with, to gratify the Nobility end Gentry present. Considering it was the first time the Champion rode in the heavy snit of armour, be performed his part with consider able effect. Indeed, his appenraece altogether was pronounced by the ladies to be very elegant. The Champion, on the morning of the Coronatioa, it is said, is to be escorted from his home, in Hill -street, Borkely-square, to his stable, in Palace-yard, by a troop of t►e Life Guards. • - SPCA rilve INTI IRNCR.

S•DLIR'S Wau.s.--•Her Majesty last night honoured this theatre with her presence, and was received with the same enthusiasm which bas distinguished all her former visits to scenes of public entertainment. The visit in qnestion had been for some time expected, b•- cause an understanding, which appeared not whollg destitute of foundation, bad represented that it was the Queen's intention to confer on each of the minor esta blishments the same mark of her favour and patronage. —The circumstance, however, of her intended presence yesterday at Sadler's Wells was tot, we believe, an nounced to the public before the morning nf the sane.. day. Short as was the notice, the result proved that ithe manager had to complain of co bad harvest : sal ' dom, perhaps, has one been ripened in so brief a period, even at this season of the year. The Queen arrived at half-past six, attended be Lord and Lady Hood, and remained till half-past ten. The old tune of " God save the King" was sung by the audience both on her Majesty's entering her box, and on her I quitting it ; we say the tune, for the anthem itself, as repeated by the performers, was inaudible. As may be imagined, theaudience, on a repetition of the song, soh stituted the word "Queen" for " King." which, with the exception of a very few discordant voices, might h. said to be generally adopted. The performances were Ti.e Movataie Hat, or The Tinker and Aix Son. a new hitt letta called Jacintha, and the new pantomime of Hada , grin at Home. or the Magic Fuentaims. The audience, as usual, forgot not to find allusions where none wet originally intended, and occasionally displayed no small degree of fancy and ingenuity in placing new construc tions upon uld phrases. The exhibitions were, notwith standing, very well conducted, and, with some allow• ance for the vociferous loyalty of so promiscuous an as• semblage, they may be said to have passed off with great regularity. Her majesty is, we understand, to honour the En glish Opera Howse with her patronage and presence early next week. The weight of sovereigns and half sovereigns sect by the Bank of England to Manchester, was nearly four tons. for the purpose of exchanging gold fe: paper ; this being effected on Satnrday last, to the amount of 419,6001. the office was closed. AIRTILLIIRY COMPANY.--.AI six o'clock yesterday even ing the ceremony of consecrating the new colours of thr Artillery Company was performed with duo military honours at the Artillery-groand. Finsbury. At fi ve o'clock a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen were admitted within the gates; and after an boar had elapsed the folding gates of the Artillery-house were thrown open, and the Serjeant-major advanced to wards the corps, which was drawn up in a semi-circle on the Green; he was followed by the Quarter-master. bearing the new colours tied up in their covers, and at tended by the Rev. Mr. Hatt. When the party advanced within the semi-circle, the Serjeant-major planted the colours next the drum-head, and the Rev. Mr. Hatt read from a paper the foram of prayer he had prepared for the eoesocration. When this ceremony was over, the colours, on which the arms of the corps are beauti fully emblazoned, were unfolded and delivered On the respective officers who have the honour of bearing them. The corps then went through a variety of eveintions, which displayed their wonted skill and precision in mi litary exercise, and were highly gratifying to the fa shionable company assembled on the occasion. The parade was not over until near eight o'clock. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who is Colonel of the corps, would have attended if he had not been una voidably detained in a distant part of the country. Yesterday afternoon a great number of persons. nearly 500, were locked in the Royal Exchange for not leaving the place upon the usual notice of ringing of the bell, which is done for a quarter of an hour. One of the Porters, an infirm man. employed on the 'Change, was also locked in, upon whom some unfeel ing persons began to vent their rage, but Mr. Mellish. late M. P.' for Middlesex, rescued him after he had beam Insulted. During this time a number of the per sons forced off the gates at the west end of the 'Change and rushed out. This outrage has several times occur red lately, as the various repairs of the gates plainly sbew.

HIGII COCRT OF JUtTICIART, EDI:VW:ROO, JULY 10.— Yesterday Robert Chariton was put to the bar, accused of having, in company with others, discharged loaded lire arms, with the intent to commit murder, at three boys on the Oilmorton-road. The Jury, after art hones deliberation on the evidence, returned a verdict against the panel, of being art and part in the said crime; and the Court sentenced him to seven years' transportation.
