The following is an extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated April 16. •• 'l ite extreme Secrecy with which all the ope rations of Lord Wellington's army arc conducted, and the silence that hu invariably preserves as to his future intentions, prevent! , us from giving you any neeis but what relates almost immediately to ourselves• The Htabitatits of this city are as comfortable as possible. They have neither wants nor fears ; to-morrow they inay have both. While the danger is out•uf sight! they fancy it does not exist. Fur mysilf Ido nut feel'a4 sectire l - bteaule . it would be vain to imagine that Lord Wellington and his army coultncSist all the power the French could bring against Lim, did they think it worth while ; but they have at present more important objects to engage them ; and while the British army continues inactive in Portugal, confining itself in that country, until the enemy have settled matters a little permanently in Spain, it would be very unwise in thee► to attempt any thing against Portugal. We do not hear that Lord Wellington intends to move." , . Officer in the army of Marquis RomArrs, wriit•s, that accounts had been received by a con. fidential person from Seville, stating 46 that V!eTuu. was wounded by a cannon shot while taking his observaticws before the Island of Leon, and car ried to Seville, where he died on the 4th instant. The British Museum opens on Monday next to the Public at large, and will continue open un Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The Lords of the Admiralty have proposed to 1 . Lady Court sowoon, and the relatives of the late Lord Cor.itswivoon, that his Lordship's remains should be deposited in St. Paul's Cathedral. The body is on board jhe frigate in the Downs, and mill nut be brought to town until Lady COLLING WOOD'S pleesure is made kuown to the Lords of Yesterday the Nobility, Artists, and fashion. able connoisseurs were admitted to a private view of the pictures in the Royal Academy. The PERSIAN AMEtAssADOn was first among the spec. t ttors ; he was attended by his interpreter, and appeared much struck' with the different specimens of genius presented by Artists of the British School. The Marquis of STAFFORD and other persons of rank were present. :flue exhibitiou this year affords many excellent instances of improve ment in the young Artists, and several fine pro ductions by our best Masters. A Noble Lord, whose Lady is of distinguished celebrity in the circles of ton, has Mrs. L— still under his protection. it has been thought that since this capture by the Cyprian goddess. her iron net has beets converted into one' of a more valuable metal, and that in this rich ornament she more caplioatin. , than ever! How opposite ° has • been the conduct of Lord B-11. Though in health, he abounds in years, and feels very strongly the remark of Shakespeare, how ill white hairs are suited with the follies of yt.nth, and particularly the assumption of it at Ma Ju riod. Lord P. still neglects the amiable partner of his cares, his wife. His pursuits resemble 44 those bees who have been observed to neglect rose., mod fix upon the wild fragrance of the neighbouriag heath." An Inquest was held, yesterday, at tho Coach and Horses, in St. Martin's-lane; by.,AxvuoNY ELL, Esq. on the body of Mrs. harNl,k MAMA KI:IEILLEIC who died on Tuesday lait,.lit conse quence of being dreadfully burned at her hotiab in St. Martin's-court.

Human, I have hither to examined the legality rather than the extent of the claim advanced by the • House of Commons. The commitment of Mr. Junes is by an Order Cu the Keeper of Newgate Y and the Order tepitel;' that " Whereas J. G. Jones has published a 4el. luus writing, in breach of the paisileges t and in contempt of the House ; the Keeper of Newgate is ordered to receive him into his etosteiry. The commitment of Sir Fuancis is, Isy,lroart4 l . rested to the Serjeaut at Arms ; it.vethes— " Whereas Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has sanely. !edged himielf the author of a certain Letter Mil Argument, printed in Cobbett's Register . ; end the House hath adjudged the said Letter and Ar. gument to be a libellous and scandalous paper, re. fleeting on tbei just rights and privileges of the said House. The gerjeaut, at Arms is ordered to prohend the said Sir F. BURDETT, and:convey hits . to the Tower of London ; and all Mayers, She. riffs; Constables, ;ix. &c. are required to assist in the execution of (his' Procesi : "•. Nelthei the Irfr.t j der fur the commitment .of Mr. Joos, nur.the. Warrant foe the apprehension of Sir FuaNcts, states the expressions of the several writings sup. posed to be libellous. Let me now call your at. tentien to the various powers claimed by the louse in these several instruments : —First, they claim the right, that whenever they choose te- be. cease the accusers, they may try summaritz, sad without the intervention of a Jury, or a Court of Law, any person whom they charge with being the author of a libel, and pettish the offender fur the same. It is to be remarked, that if the House . has this power, the party adjudged guilty can nei ther procure the. sentence to be reviewed in any Court of Appeal, tior solicit the Crown for par dun. No avenue is open for appeal to any other tribunal ; and were the Crown to interpose, and extend mercy to the offender, it would certainly be deemed a high breach of privilege by the House. Secondly, in this Order and iPiarront the House, claims to be -the solo Judge what words, in point of law, constitute ,a libel ; fur as..the House has not stated the tenor of these writings, no Court in Westminster Hell has the means of judging whe. Cher dm writings arc or are not libellous ; the jurisdiction of the Courts of Law is, therefore, completely ousted. At the commencement of the ensuing Tef!ll, it is probable that either Jong josr.s, or Sir FRANC/S BURDETT, will ap -plyto one or other of the Courts fur a Writ of Habeas Corpus; should the Court remand. the prisoner, and the House of Lords, on Writ of Error, confirm the decision, the House will have established both its claims, viz. the right ottrying summarily, and the right of being the sole judge what o expressions, in point of law, constitute a libel. The People Apr England await the discus sion of these claims with anxiety: if established: the power of the-House of Commons will be ren,: i dered more formidable than the prerogativei! claimed by the STUARTS: but I will not believe it, possible. From early years I have revered the Courts of Law (with all their faults I love them still) ; they have stood many severe conflicts with prerogative, and though there may have been mu. moats when they shrunk, they have at last always established the true principles of the Common Law : in the ensuing contest, neither their courage nor their integrity will fail them. , They will 'in. voke the manes of the virtuous HeLT, and with exulting pride call on their country to sanely. ledge, that they are the worthy successors of dud illustrious Character. " VEIANIUS. HAYMARKET THEATRE.-A crowded audience I attended at the above Theatre on Wednesday even. lug, to witness the first appearance of Mr. and . V.11C.4_ celeb ri ty, anal of Mrs. Mousse, of pro i whom report had spoken so highly ; and we can saf:ly aver, that in no one instance has favourable expectation been more (Wiz gratified. A moth:tit Dramatist reutarks—" nothiug can 'strike snore feelingly uu the heart than hearing the he. stourable applause of an impartial Public ;"—if so, this Lady and *Gentleman must be more Oats satisfied. From the commencement of the Play, Mrs. M. evinced a perfect knowledge of her au"-, thus . ; and, unlike the generai order of first sp..' pearances, she didnot, fur the sake of .exeitiog" ssisplause, endeavour, at the onset, to make what actors technically term points out of nothing ' ; and, as we often observe, repeated crossings tif the stage, which some of Out heroines exercise as a'. sign Manual. Her aim appeared to be, to beget tt silent attention ; but as the character of Elam opened, it was impossible to repress the frequent bursts of approbation, and " bravo!' bravo!" sounded through every part of the house. Our limits will nut permit us to cuter into all the merits of this Lady's performance ; suffice it to say, that these many years we have nut had a greater dra matic treat. The masterly manner in which she delivered that arduous climax at the end of the 3d act, atilt her exit its the 4th from Pizarro, admirablit ; the latter drew down six rounds of applause. Her figure and manner are dignified in the extreme. In the Farce, Mr. M. its Sharp, kept the risible faculties of the auditors in constant motion ; antfhis comic parody was loudly encored. With very. few exceptions, Mrs. M. was but indif. tacitly supported. , .L. .. :,~.~': SIR FRANCIS BURDEI A MIAOW" IV.
