poIIrICAL REFLECTIONS EUROPE. ON THE STATE OF tow. Whiwe le tills country is oyertrbeimod with internal striateßay with great propriety ask, what is the state of & to pe a nd the world, which is to console us for do „woe' ills greater than Britain has before seen or thor...ht • What are the boasted fruits of mighty victories, ;11:icli have filled the world with widows ana orphans ?, asat Bare been the results of asseuiblages of all the wiereigas of the Continent ? Did the Congress of r om a, in 1815, confirm the expectations its kinly wit h e rs had excited in the day of their imminent pe tit? 4 have they redeenird their solemn promises, gives : b „ t h e people sere their last hope of deliverance? itel they, oho recently had trembled for their own, ~.pact the independence of others ? On the contrary, not the assembled Potentates, or their delegates, act oif they had adopted the vitiating principle of those irio orig. na ted the fatal precedent -of partition in Europe In the division of ill-fated Poland ? Did they not act n 'ther like despots towards their own subjects, and like sere eeigns met for the avowed division of conquered 'enteric', than for the purpose of fulfilling those just e d politic intentions which the allies had proclaimed as •ne tale of their conduct, when advancing towards the ~pits) o f France, at Frankfort, and at Chatillon, and oterwards recognised in the tri a'y of Chaumont and the peace of Paris? Not only at Vienna, but subsequci t y at Ail-la -Chapelle and at Carlsbad, e i t h er i n person or b r d e puty, the Sovereigns of Europe seem to have con rigout' themselves into a self-elected tribunal for deter „stomp the tate of nations, the transfer of States, terri -I,„ies, sad 'objects, without the knowledge or consent o f the parties interested, and even for imposing laws and restrictions affecting the internal Governments of most of ~entries in Europe, and the natural, social, and in alienable rights of man. The general effect upon what has been termed the halaace of power in Europe, has been such as alone to kot h out for condo mnation the system which has been ' ,Wpm/ as a measure of general . pulicy. What, for in stance can be more likely to disturb the future peace of rsrope, than increasing so enormously the territories and t h e power of that subtle despotism which had already l end itself over a vast proportion of the regions of the H A, both in Europe and Asia ; including within its gu y, nations and climes as various as powerful: The swestrosity of the ambition which had before prompted to dismember Poland, and to cot et the finest provinces 4Tarkey and Persia, and chick was now to be gratified it the addition of Finland and the greatest part of Po- Ma, is of it .elf a sufficient assurance that, while more is is be bad, it %ill he only the lack of opportunity which sill prevent her acquiring it; the means of accomplish tag which have been nearly doubled by the cessions of sweessive Congresses. Russia in Europe contained, in Me year 1789, ONO German square miles, and a po ?dation of 27 millions; in 1817 it was extended to Ate such miles, and the population increased to 41 . wilhons!: The Russian army is now said to be 700,000 strong; and what have any of the smaller, or even any sins neighbours to oppose to this force, when circum-1 cares render further extension of territory an object of owillity or policy ? But the disarrangement which has ~ken place in the balance of power, and which, when Jetted by France, was so loudly and justly inveighed terrific as it is in its probable consequences, is sot that which sill probably first convulse Europe, sod shake it to its centre. It is well known that the pe rtst iq, and the Germans in general, were promised • Representative tioyernment, 'then they sprang to ieellat against foreign despotism; and it is equally sell knoa n, that, on pretexts the most flimsy, and side be, ace of faith the most dishonourable, several dile Ruling Powers have retracted or neglected to lut e their recent obligations to their people, and have hi. times repaid the most zealous and heroic exertions bit systematic and domestic servitude. °cranny, then, as; le considered as surcharged with the materials of a vat of political volcano, situated in the very heart of Eater; the explosion of which seems to be no more to he pretested than the periodical eruption of red hot lan free tie volcanic mountains of Line or Vesuvius. The stab of political change are sown throughout the mama of burope ; folly, or some worse spring of ac hes, has neglected or abused the golden opportunity sifonied it of cherishing the crop, and of directing its peon; and now man, oppressed by the evils of bad government, by the terrors of superstition, by the stings of njustice, looks to his Darn energies to better his coo. shies. lie begins every %here to see that those go vernments are alone legitimate whose measures are di. reified soiely to the good of the people. The ray of li;ht wh cb dawned in Europe, with the discovery of the art of printing, has illumined the two hemispheres; and, is 41141111 CS of every effort made to impede its pro. tires., it will proceed " unto the perfect day." And were there the times, and were such the circumstances, which cou.pirscies against the spirit of freedom were either becoming or wise? Was it prudent to rake from the daft of antiquity principles winch had disgusted, to teem oppression which had alienated, to withhold the limitations which had ravened the affections of the people? The high-spirited feeling of independence, the pods of freemen, had redeemed the craven, sunken, and despairing Sovereigns, whom nothing else could save front the iron grasp of a mightier ambition. Was it grateful, was it just, to return evil for good, and, by a solecism even in polities, to endeavour to disarm the hand which had arrayed itself in their defence—to crush the last, the best, ti, only hope of independence, and, for the sake of the assumption of personal power, or the graiisration of mistaken pride, to beat down the only safe soil eheen defence of nations? The following article of information, given in a lent respectable journal of this morning, so falls in with our lees* upon the subject, that we readily give it insertion in our own:— " The friends of Parliamentary Reform will not be Unpleased to learn, that numbers of the pot-seulloping toronghs have at this moment Agents and Deputations is town, seeking for Candidates: but, from various causes, dopes are not to be found. The wholesome ex• mapkt of chastisement given to the four rotten boroughs by the suspension of the writs, for which a Bill has posed the House of Commons, makes men shy of the etwmption that was so flagrant at all former Elections. It is confidently expected that the House of Lords will show the urns respect to public feeling on this point as the House of Commons, and that the Bill will pass into a law. ' Last Friday the Manchester Theatre re-opened with the play of Th e Castle Spectre. The performance was parcealed by the singing, an full chorus, of the national sir of " God save the King."

SIATESMAN. COVENT-GARDEN THE4TRS. --...-- After the performance of Tile Antiquary, a Wry spi rited Parce, entitled Too late for Dinner, was last night produced. It has not to boast of much ingenuity as to the construction of plot, or novelty of incident ; vet the &etho► has cultivated the apparently exhausted soil upon which all farce writers have worked, with so touch sue ress as to produce an abundant crop of original wit and humour. Frank Poppleton, Jonas, a rake of the high est order, and younger brother to Frederick Poppleton, CONNOR, modest and simple to the opposite extreme, after a tavern row takes advantage of the first open door that presents itself, to cloak the pursuit of the guardians of the night. He finds himself in the hem* of Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Davastronr, the friend of his brother, and aunt to Emma Somrrton, Miss Fours, with whom Frank had become enamoured at first sight, and with whose name he was then unacquainted. She discloses it to him, and after some necessary difficulties, he makes good his retreat. Some calls from his brother, whilst from home, had put Frank in po ion of several cards of Frederick s ; and these have been left with the tavern-keeper, poliee-officers, &c. In conseqnenee, Fre derick is called on for payment by the former, and to answer eh it made by the latter. In the mean time Frank visits his brother's honse, and recognise, in his servant, Eisner, an old play-fellow, who readily allows him to carry on his deceptions, and even enters into his designs. .t letter directed to Mr. F. Poppleton arrives, n hich Frank i aaaa nealiately opens, and finds it to contain an invitation to .laceonot Cottage, from Mr. Pincloth, its owner, lit.sstenano, a retired linen-draper. Poppleton is informed that Mr. Twill, Lwow, successor to Pin cloth, will drive him to the cottage in his gig. lie ac cordingly makes his appearance, which is in direct con tradiction to his first statement to Frank, that .. he sticks to the rharehonse like ear;" fur his dandified costume, and affected air of running, when the booby shin., su perlatively above all, would seen, to vindicate that he stuck to any or every thing else. The letter also men tions the names of Mrs. l'hompson, and Emma Soarer ton, as being of the party To Dinner, and Frank loses no time in accepting the invitation on his own account. He prevails on Twill to give him the reins, and in re turn breaks the gig to pieces, and leaves its owner in the ditch. Arrived at the cottage, (whose inmates expected the modest and retiring Frederick.) he is determined to " astonish the natives " by showing off in his most fleshy style. This he is enabled to do from the non-ap pearance of Mrs. Thompson and her niece, who are the only ones that can detect him from a knowledge of his brother. After winning the money of ?Valid dire, and giv ing mortal offence to Pint-loth by calling him llnckaback, be asat last obliged to effect a precipitate retreat. On .llrs. Thompson's arrival, she is lost in amazement at the re cital of the imagined Frederick's misconduct, and de clares herself to have been grossly imposed on by his af fected shew of modesty. The real invited guest is at length announced, but the name has been resounded in the ears of every domestic, coupled with an interdiction against its possessor's admittance. Frederick is about to return, when the appearance of Mrs. Thompson and the Pin cloth family creates fresh cause of wonder. The en trance of Frank is the solution to all, and his beloved Emma promises to reward him when he shall have re formed ; Frederick forgives him, and Twill has the sagacity to discover that he is a wag. All the misfor tune now remaining is, that the late comers arc To* lattLAr Dinner. The characters of JONES. LISTON, and Einar are ad mirably drawn, and supported with the greatest spirit and force. The Farce abounds with the ladicrons, and every scene is relieved by incidents of the mast WO. able description. The dialogue is never dull, the wit seldom insipid, and still less frequently approaching the vulgar. Upon the whole, we think it cannot fail of hay ing a long run. bIE KING'S mom. --4.-- Yesterday, at three o'clock, his Majesty held a Court, at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretaries of State for the Home and Co lonial Departments, the First Lord of the Admiralty. the Master tietteral of the Ordnance, the Chancellor of the Escheqner, the President of the Board of Controul, the Master of the Mint, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the Earl of Mulgrave, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward of the Household, the Treasurer of the Household, the Vice-Chamberlain, the Lord Lieute nant of Ireland, the Lord Chief Baron of Scotland, the Earl of Winchilsea, Mr. Long, the Marquis of Headfort, the Hon.

The three prisoners were all extremely yonng—the oldest apparently not more than thirteen years of age. Thee appeAred extremely affected with their situation. Simnel Roberts was indicted for stealing font. coats, rains 4f., the property o f Daniel An ge ll, in his dwelling. house. The prisoner was found guilty of stealing—but the count charging him with stealing in a duelling-house was not proved - , and be was acquitted of the capital part of the charge. Thos. Bishop was pnt to the bar, charged with having stolen four coats, value N., the property of lieorge Baxter. George Baxter, the prosecutor, stated, that he resides in Beanfort-buildings, Strand. The prisoner entered his service in September last. Witness having received information that some duplicates were found in the pri soner's horse, went there, with Ellis, the officer, and found duplicates of the property he had lost. -- Ellie, the officer, proved that he had applrhentied the prisoner, and found at his lodgings some duplicates relating to Mr. Banter's property. The shopkeeper of Mr. Ashman, pawnbroker, Strand, proved that the prisoner's wife, under the name of Mary Smith, had pledged at his shop two coats, and a pair of breeches. Two guineas were advanced upon the coat% and ten shillings upon the breeches. Mr. Baxter Identified the property, which he said had been sent to his shop for the purpose of sale. Wan. Townsend, a pawnbroker, residing in Little Russell-court, eovent-ganien, proved, that the prisoner's wife, on the 23t Is of Feb. last, pledged a coat at his shop. Upon a subsequent occasion she pledged another. Upon both these coats witness had advanced IL 16s. Bacter proved, that this properly was afro stolen from his hou►e. The prisoner confessed hls guilt, and threw himself npon the merry of the t'onrt. He called no witnesses. The Cnstatoar SCIJEANT, in addressing the Jury, ob served, that though the goods stolen were in the whole of greater value than 405., vet, as it did nut appear that they had all been stolen at one and the same time, it would he their duty to find him Guilty of stealing under the value of 40s. The Jury found their verdict accordingly. Jenne* Pollard, a man of respectable appearance, was inflicted for stealing twenty yards of woollen stuff, rain, YIN., the property of liriffith Foulkes.

The officer who apprehended the prisoner deposed to that circumstance. The prisoner was found Guilty. Further extracts from the French papers on the Spanish affairs " The army of the Malcontents amounts to more than 10,000 men, all resolute, and abundantly supplied with provisions of all kinds. The Royal troops, commanded by Wu. Frevre. are superior in numbers, because a great many militia base been incorporated; but, in general, their fidelity cannot be trusted. The truth is, that the soldiers of the advanced posts salute each other as friends, and do not seem inclined to fight. They are now, how tree, In presence of each other, and a decisive action is anxiously expected. " MADRID, Faa. 7.—The Ex-Minister, Lozano Torres, was the only time of the disgraced Members of the Ca binet who had been allowed to reside at Court. 'though separated from the Ministry, he nevertheless enjoyed the confidence of the King. On the 5111 he left the ca pital, under a good escort, for his place of destination. " Don Antonio Ugarte, a broker and obscure man, wbo had succeeded in gaining the confidence of the King, by paying court to certain Ambassadors, has also just been exiled to the fort of Segovia. He was entrusted with the affairs connected with expeditions preparing against the colonies, and he gave himself the title of I'ltra•marine Minister. This nun, without any talent, had slipped into the Ministry, and even al most in the chamber of the King, by means of his base Battery, and was one of the persons composing the pH. ♦ste Council of the King, called the Camarillo.
