0 Nrppbrtunity of gratifying the British Cabinet, by hrowiug upon the Queen of ENGLAND every in• 'dignity that their ingenuity could devise. The 'X./dicers of State would refuse her the title that be longs to her ; the petty minions of power would ex pose her to every inconvenience, and prove their little brief authority" by chewing their right to offend or incommode a Quiets with impunity. Post-horses would be withheld from her in travel ling ; more time and strictness would be employed in examining or granting her passports than neces sary ; no protection would he afforded to her, if injured or insulted; and, in short, she should *of fer every inconvenience and petty annoyance that persevering malice could heap upon her. The cir catostance of her not having been received at the Court of her Royal Consort 'mullh be an excuse for closing every Foreign Court organist her ; and amidst the despotism of the Continent, what private individuals of rank and em►nence would venture to incur the displeasure of their respective Govern meats, by •hewing the exiled QUEEN any syru pathy or attention ? She should pass her time not merely in splendid banishment, but enduring a kind of social exconsmunication, debarred from all the comforts et• social intercourse, and regarded by every eye as an interdicted being, whom it was policy to avoid, all it was destruction to favour and protect. What advantage,. then, could her MAJESTY pro pose to herself by leaving England? Her enemies «ould instantly attribute such a step to the infatua von of that passion which has been oo foully im puted to her. There are years which ought to be protection against such vile and infamous shin drrS ; but to her MAALITY alone, were her years tioublerl, would this plea be denied. In leaving she should resign society altogether. she should tilt frit that deep interest which she has ob. in the public mind, and to weaken which is the evident object of setting afloat once again the exploded rumour. She should surrender the grati fication—the only one her heart has long --- cape riei,ced—of knowing that her concerti% are watched will' auxions solicitude by the vast majority of the people of England—and what should she Obtain in exchange? Nothing. Her MAJESTY has already proved that the obtaiaing of money is Out sufficient to,purchase her absence from this country, and fur tic courage and magnanimity with which she in thinantly repelled the bribe of 50,0001. a year offered to her at St. Outer, she now enjoys an annual grout from Parbaruent equal to the sum proposed to her as the price of her dishonour. Ps it prahable, then. that having nobly met and de feated her enemies span the grave charges pre ferred against her, and having obtained much tuore from the justice of the country than her enemies previously offered, the QUERN would now, after having obtained the victory, leave the field of bat tle so her enemies, and resign to them viduritatily nil the advantages which they strove by every Mean. to obtriu from her by bribes, threats, and persecutions, and in comparison with which they held as light and onimpo►taut the I r of the KING, the dignity and safety of the Crown, the respectability of Parliament, the presersetiou of the piilAc and the general tranquillity of the empire. These pantaloons interests were rashly eodangered by the character of the procerdiugs in stituted against the QUEEN. but the evils were avoided by the justice and wpdoin of the House of Lords, and the good seine and sound loyalty of the people. We have received New York [Were to the 10th of February. A Paper of the 3d lIIITIOMICVS the arrival of intelligence of the capture of Lima by Lord COCHRANE. It is derived from a Bermuda Guzeite of the 13th January, but is not confirmed by any later accounts. So inveterate is the i bstred subsisting between the people of various colours in Hayti, it will require extraordinary vigilance and wisdom on the part of President BoitEit to prevent that fine island from becoming a scene of anarchy and confusion.- 7t is feared that the policy of France to recover he► power in that country may contribute to this un happy state of things. The New York Papers contain no internal news of importance. An at'empt has been recently made to burn the Boston Theatre, which is sus pected to have its origin in a spirit of fanaticism.

It is the work of ROSSINI, and has excited the admi ration of the Continent. The story is that of the popular piece so familiar to the English hoards, entitled, The Maid and the Magpie, but the plot, however interesting, is only of inferior con sideration. The music is the life, the spirit, the essence of perfection in an Italian opera. The performers, both old and new, last night afforded great satisfaction, but it would be premature to enter into a derailed critique upon their merits. The house displayed a full mid elegant attendance. The company were so numerous, a stranger might have conceived it was a regular night. This cir cornsiance evinces at once the liberality of those who have the present management of this great establish ascot, as well as the greet number of their friend., and the curiosity of the public to visit this intere►t ing scene. The great and striking novelty which it presents is the new royal box fitted up for his Ms- JFSTIr. This splendid oportinerit cont.iqs of the two boxes on the second tier on the right of the stage, opposite the orchestra, thrown into one. It is supported by two richly gilt pilastres, with a broad gold frame at top surmounted by the Ito3al arms richly gilt. The panels in front are covered with a crimson silk drapery in festoons, edged with gold, and a corresponding drapery of blue sod silver beneath with the royal arose in the middle. The back of the box is of blue silk. and the roof lined with rose colour, with a broad border of crim son, edged with gold as a cornice.— The box is extremely splendid. It is liiiished in the most exquisite style. ORATORIO. --...-- COVENT-OARDBX. Lust night the Oratorios commenced at this theatre. The entertainments consisted of selections, chiefly from 14• T DPI •D , Il HANDEL. The first stud third acts were miscellaneous ; the second was • selection from the " Messiah." In the first Part • new grand " Te Dewar," composed for the Em peror of AUSTRIA by ANDREAS ROMBERG, was introduced. It is a composition of great excellence, and will form a very grateful addition to the stock pieces of oratorio music; the style is ausehlike that of HANDEL, having, of course, • display •f more intricate ail modern science, and a more varied arrangement nt the accompani ment,. The last chorus, " Lord, in thee hare I trusted," is very powerful. Mr. VA UGHAN appeared, for the first time these ten years, sod sang, " Lord, remember /)arid"—" Comfort ye, sty people"—and " The Soldier's Dream," a poem, by CAMPBELL, the assists, by ATTWOOD. Mr. VAUGHAN was well received, and frequently applauded. He seems to have suffered no dimi nution of his vocal powers. Mr. KELLNER made his reappearance, bring lately returned from Italy. Ile is not the worse for his travels. His fine volume of voice is much better disciplined than of afore time. He gave • most iraposing effect to " Behold, 1 tell you a mystery," and the sutcreding air. lie was accompanied with the trumpet by Mr. I-im:tea, who nearly divided the h (((((( urs of the performance with the vocalist. Mr. KELLNER shone forth again in a scents ed aria, from ZINGARELLI. His voice has unusual capabili ties, and he is likely to be the first bass in the profession. Miss STEPHENS was the main pillar of the vocal arrangements: she gave Luther's layran and the solo parts of the Sena with very powerful effect. Between the second sod third parts, she sang " Sweet tird" with her accustomed brilliancy and expression, Mr. Moist performing the violin accom paniment. This viitleinan also performed a very complicated concerto, arranged from the theme of Rossi N t's "Di lonia polpiti." lite intonation is not as good as some oho have preceded him; but noise excel him in the perfection of his fingeritig, the choiceness of his expression, and the firm and entire command of his tones. Ils. cadences are of endless variety. and almost aearchless conabitia lions. Mr. IV•RN having been taken ill, Mr. Meat led the bend. Miss l'ovEY bang two songs, which were both encored. The performance concluded with • new grand triumphal Ode in honour of his MAJESTY . . meets- WOO 10 the throne. The satiric by Humor, the poetry by SOUTHEY and COLLARD.
