It was not in the power of the Proprietors to remove him unless they vent to Parliament to remedy the Act. lie attributed part of the losses in the Tbeatre to the circumstance of peryitting Mr. Kean to get up pieces during Mr. # Joitoiton's management. 4.

Mr. Quits supported the Amendment and the Re- Tett of the Select Committee. He was surprised to god Mr. Moore sticking to the Act of Parliament, like Sliylock to his bond. The Cuateaux then took a show of hands upon the question, sod the Amendment was carried by a Majority. Mr. Parse Moons then demanded a ballot, which took place accordingly. The result was—For the Amendment, I`3B—Aaaiost it, 72—Majority 54. The Thanks of the Meeting were then voted to Lord Yarmouth cud P.

This motion was agreed to without any division. 1 The Thanks of the Meeting were voted to the Chairman, for his very proper conduct ; and after Toting unanimously, that the Resolutions should be . published in the Daily Papers, the Meeting broke up *bout five o'clock. i ( ~`~ 1 ty it', k i ~. • -1 IVORVIERN EXPEDITION. the following interesting observations on the ‘ ...'or the follw elate of t ice in the Arctic Circles, and the probe ' " X bility of r Northern Espedition accomplishing its l 1 objects, we e indebted to the intelligent Captain of one of our eentetvd ships, recently arrived Vere:— I " On th morning of the Bth June, 1 was in lad. tide 70 deg. 40 min.

LONDON: WEDNciDAY, JULY, 0. iels:• The communications communications to Li.ovrn's this morning, we regret to say, add fresh instances to the opt !ogee we here lately had of the depredstioss cPer--. milted by piratical privateers on our West Lr ‘ n i commerce. To the accounts is our Shipping slit have to subjoin the following particulars of the::o4 t ! , rages so daringly committed on the Monarch and tiffs other vessels mentioned. All flags are assinned 1 . i even the British; and alike respected by these un principled marauders, who, we have reason to be lieve, issue from other pore than those of Vene zuela :--- " The Monarch, FILAWMLAWD, arrived at Ports. mouth. On the 29 One, in lat. 34 . 19 . long . * 66. 35. was brough thli Venestreibm pikateer General Harris, —. - ,` f ind --.—, Capt. DeWitt, under English colours, who ordered the Captain do board with his papers, end whori: ender the priva teer's quarter, ihe hauled 'down the Et#llli and hoisted a white, red, and blue lag, with' eik Mee stars in the corner of the white. Capt. Fnamicanarl gave the Officer of the privateer coffee, sugar, &c. at which time they conducted themselves well, but sub tequently sent theie boat on 'board and plundered Capt. FRANKLAND of his silver watcillkiold ring, seals, and various other articles, and took sway two of his crew, Wm. 11111 En, an Englishman, and N. II sit- RING, an American. While the privateer was plunder ing the Monarch, a strange ship hove in siert,. which the privateer immediately made sail &flee, 'Captain FKANHLAND following to endeavour to - regain hie people, and put the ship on her guard ; bat when up with the privatter,found she had brought the ship to, and prevented the crew from answering when he hailed them, and fired several gen. at them, but' owing to its being dark they did not hit the Monarch. The ship proved to be the Clifton, SHAND, of and bound to London, who was also plundered of notes and gold to the amount of 701. One of the passengers of the Alice, Honosom, for London, which was in company with the Monarch, was plundered of his watch and 1231. by the soar ptitateir, and One. of the crew of the Alice, named Jona WILLIAMS, deserted into her. The French Papers are now indulging very freely in strictures on the condect of General CANuer., who is charged with conspiring against the King. Their observations are each as night be nateralliexpected from a review of the case. The circumstance of the Journals being under the controol or in the interest of the Ministers 'nay assent for this conduct on the part of the Press, which does not accord with the delicacy •suwlly preserved in regaid to matters ex pected to be decided by the due administration of the I. ; but the facts are not the less entitled to cre dit or attention from their being then stated, and are material to truth and a right endentanding of an affair, which it is the interest of • powerful party to keep ineeloped in mystery. CANUEL, it appears, still stands charged with beings party in the late Con spiracy, and he must resort to other means to esta blish his innocence than denouncing the Ministry as the' fabricators of the plot, or vapouring about his own services and loyalty. The French Ministry are certainly placed in a very embirrassing situation by the step adopted by CANUEL sad his party. They not only experience Much dificalty in petting him and his associates on their trial, but they find their authority and approbation committed to his support in the affairs at Lyons by the assumptions of the Court Council who seat Castuns. thither. The Mi nistry and the secret cabal " be the 'Throne, greater than the Throne itself ) " en evidently NOW alms • ...........--, _ - remits defeat, 'Their perplexity in this case, say - the private advice, ts'orit a little heightened by another OCCOMMICII here to be noticed.—M. DR CAERS t isi a late Colwell, proposed arresting M. Da LA Rothe JAQUELIN and some other leading conspirators, and after suck debate, a Weiolation passed - to that effect; bet finding the King waterlog the next hoer on so decisive a step, the Minister, in a fit of disgust, tendered his resignation. It is said that the King twisted himself net %month% to accept it, bat wishing first to take the opiate* of a moderate man - on the subject, he sent for Maralli MACDONALD, who told bias candidly, that thoegh he personal ly bad mach to complain of M. as Cates, be could not but admit that in the present entangled state of hit drain, his presence was necessary in his Councils. Some persons are still willing to suppose that the King himself . was not estranger to the Conspiracy, arid that its only purpose was • change which the King toeld not effect himself, but which ha could appear Id resign himself to, digits being forced upon him ; that this change was limited to the restoring a things as they stood Were the Ordonnaece of the sth of Sept. which dissolved the CAambre des Infrouoablea in 1816. .6—To restore the infamous Old Government is .the sole object and desire of these 'staked Conspirators, and exclusive Loyalists. These MD every one knows to be staunch friends of bigotry end superstition, lovers et antique notions, supporter of despotism, [ and halal of the rights of tatinkiedi Yet these are the men, because the King, forsooth, is not despot enough to please them, who would destroy him and the Charter, and restore the Old Govern ment of 1789. This was to be done in the spirit of Loyally, to give to Royally powers the Sovereign did not sigh for ; but the French People are, we hope, lop wise and enlightened to suffer any bigoted despot lip 40 ride them, as their Princes were accustomed to do Akins the Revolution. The Rnyel Family of France, in general, appear to be but We improted in the school of adversity ; and some of them seem to fancy, that they may assume the usurped privileges of their forefathers, without the consent of the nation. They treat the subject merely as a plaything made for the amusement of old babies. Their follies, though ludicrous in themselves, ere serious in their effects. They should be cautious lest the insulted and lumped indignation of the nation should again send them on their travels. It is not the arms of the doughty Ultras, 64 nor fortified redoubt," nay, not the whole expensive projects of military espence by for. tresses and garrisons on the old principle, which 80. IMPARTS treated with such contempt, that Will pro. tect them, if the French nation shall again shake off Abair chains and beckle tt on the armour of freedom. ' -The Commission of Defence formed at Paris, on ifer the Presidency of Geo. MA RESCOT, has already actively commenced its operations. Its attention has been first directed to the means of supplying the chasm Occasiottild by the cession of Landau to the German Confedertaion, and of Marienburg and Phi. Itppeville to the Netherlands. With this view, it is said, that as soon as the Allied Troops have left France, Rocroy will be enlarged, and some new for. tresies erected. The Emperor ALEXANDER and the King of PRUSSIA were expected at Berlin oti the 27th inst. where, it was supposed, they would remain tea days, and then proceed for Ms-la-Chapelle. The Moniteur contains en Ordinance of the King, extending the suspension of certain duties upon the importation of foreign bilks, which duties would have become again payable on the Ist of next month, till the end of the year 1819. The Funds are a little better. They left off on Friday at 77 f. 10 c. We have received more American Papers, but not to e later date than the Journals, the contents of which we communicated yesterday. We have con seqwently no further information on the subject of the taking of Pensacola; but the Boston Papers, of the 28th ult. furnish additional particulars of gratify ing interest respecting. the military operations in Chili, which appear to have secured the come plete independence and tranquillity of that state. Accounts from Santiago of the 7th of February, in form us that the Chitian Government had then an army completely of more than 11,000 troops of the line, well armed, and supplied with ammunition to carry on an extensive war for a long time. The sop- 1 plies in the arsenals were worth more than 400,000 dollars. The army was divided into two corps, and placed at two different places. One commanded by General SAN MARTIN was in the Tablas, in the vicinity of Valparaiso, and west of St. Anthony, composed of 13,000 men. The corps of Director O'Hroot Ns, was on the borders of Monte. The principal Direc tor of the State was in the South, commanding the army which laid siege to the city of Talcaheano, from which place be had withdrawn to the interior, with , * view of affording more room to the enemy, and by cutting off their retreat, to tended, the war in that country. We present to our Readers this day two clarions and interesting docementa—corions, es coming from the parties, and interesting in a poblic point of View. —Tbs one is an Address to Mr. Pus., the derived from his Administration (mark the ■salsas, ness of that sinecure styled the Lord Lieetenancy, fop which In inspoverilhed Peblit is made to pay 30,00% per annum nt least), bat care is taken not to specify any of these, particular advantages, " solid and pe t . meant" as they may he. Mr. Peer., however, seems to undentand Ms friendly eulogists, and conceiving a to question to iltich they have alluded most he his efforts to prevent the Irish Catholic population from obtaining the benefits of Emancipation fresh the pa. collar injustice to which they are sehjected, takes this as his best praise, and the only claim of credit he has to the gratitude of the Irish nation ! Re has chosen to rest his merits on a very egeivoed foundation. If this be all the ground of satisfaction which Mr. P. and the kingdom he has been get ni f i g possess, the mutts of Ike Irish Secretary are not tort transcendent. We hate seldom heard of a more scandaloes eeeding than the conduct of the Rev. W. PRITCHARD towards Mrs. GEE, his benefactress, in return for the kindness shown to him by herself and her late Mss. hand. Indeed we think the justice of the case requires much stronger measures to be taken against a mu, r too attempts to extort money by such base coodect, and that be should no longer disgrace the psis be . Wears. Tux Qvms.—Yesterday an account was received in to w n from Kew, stating, that " The Quaint was much the sense yesterday morning as shejsed been the last two or three days."
