rnent of Naples in partieilar, can ever fancy that the people of that country. cowards or traitor's they may be, au yet be so besotted as to look upon the restoration of the aaciest system as cal. ciliated to promote their interests, or to regard the detested troops of Austria as the saviours of their national freedom ? In soother part of our Paper will Ise found a copy of a Circular Letter addressed from Laybach by Count NRSSZLIODR, in the name of the Emperor bf RUSSIA, to the several Ministers of that Sove reign in the different countries of Europe. The general purport of this &cement is similar in principle to that of the Declaration published by the entliority of the combined Cabinets. It has, however, a further object, peculiar to the Court of Russia, namely, to relieve that Power from the imputations of private ambition, which. it ie admitted, have been sufficiently loud and gene ral to call for this public contradiction. The Ministers to whom this is addressed are commanded to declare that the Emperor, in ordering 100,000 men to march upon Italy. was not actuated by any selfish or ambitions motives, that his views of policy are consonant with those of his august Ally the Emperor FRANCIS, and contemplate only the security of universal peace. The writer asserts, that " the experience of all ages and countries warns nations of the calamities which form the inevitable train of crime and rebellion." —ln this there is an historical inaccuracy, for the experience of Great Britain happily proves that a revolution, which in the imperial vocabulary of the Continent means " crime and rebellion," may he attended by the blessed effects of general and individual prosperity. The writer also urges that the EMPEROR'S desire is to prevent insurrection from usurping a power which must become an universal scourge. It would. however, in our opi nion, prove a task beyond the ingenuity even of Count NesseLaoos to shew that any change in the frame of government in Naples or Piedmont could so far enlarge the resources, or promote the energies of these countries, as to render any power " usurped" by their Governmeuts an •' universal scourge." Their confined limits, their position in the vicinity of more powerful countries, must have prevented these States from ever en dangering the general safety ; and whatever evil might have been apprehended to the safety of the neighbouring Governments from the example of their freedom, it must have been controlled by the immense armed force which has been directed against the liberties of the offending people. Yesterday the Russian Ambassador, Viscount SIDWOUTH, and the Marquis of LONDONDILIRT, had audiences of the KING.

DURANCF. V.ILF —A few years since JAMES Al* LONE, Esq. Mayor of Cork, imagining rf he could stop the beggars of the miserable and sickly appearance they made, lie should divest them of the strongest claim to the charity oldie humane, came to the following agreement with one GROUAGAN, one of the constables, who was by trade a barbe►, viz. he directed the barber to seize all the beg gars lie found strolling within the limits of the city, for each of whom he promised a reward ; but in stead of bringing them before him (the Mayor), he was to take them to his shop, and there ►have, wash, /lies., and powder them in the genteelest almoner. The (violable according:v seized about half a dozen, and with the assistroce of razors, wash-ball, scissars, and powder puffs, so completely metamor phosed them, that those whom he apprehended as mendicants. when they left his shop appeared like macaronies, at least about the head. This laugh :dohr scheme was attersded with such success, that the whole tribe (during Squire Matostes mayor alty) avoided Isis jurisdiction us carefully as if it was visited by a pestilence.

THEATRE& i t • Last night, the comedy of The R oa d to Knew was performed at this thane', meat to the gniti-. indigo of a most crowded audience. Being a ticket night, for dm besiefit of • certain number of the lees celebrated performers, the theatre was at an early hour filled to an overflow, the parties dis appointed of room in the pit, and even in the gal lery, flintily occupying the boxes, even to the very roof. The company, however, was much more re spectable and orderly in their demeanour than is usual on such occasion,. MUNDEff pleasingly re called to our remembrance some of his best days, in his delineation of the agonized, dotting, touchy, but generous DOl*lo*. ELLISTON also chose to resume his former buoyancy and gentlemanly vivacity in Harry Dornlon. Mr. HARLEY bustled through the horse-jockey of fashion, Goldfinch, with his accustomed lively and frolicsome eccentri city. Mrs. thatowe gave an admirable portrait of the ridiculous, vain , and amorous selfishness of the Widow Warren, and Miss KELLY, in Sophia, bade defiance to panegyric. The afterpiece of The Bee Hive followed, in which the only novelty of cart was M it•S CUBITT as Emily, who seems to Improve daily in voice as well as in skill. COVENT-GARDEN.

Mr. Sheriff Wt L UAUS made his appearance soon after the curtain was raised, and et a more advanced period the LORD Msvot entered, who were both warmly greeted by the audience. After the play an appropriate address was spoken by Mrs. W. S. CHATTERLEY (her first appearance at this theatre). Between the play and farce the audience were entertained with several songs by some of the most distinguished vocalists, who vo lunteered their services in the cause of charity. Amongst those we cannot omit Signora MAMMON I, of the Italian opera, who sung in the most delight ful manner " Questo so! the sifunesto." This lady possesses a most pleasing voice, combined with the most refined taste, and promises to become, at no distant period, ■ most distinguished favourite.

The following were the lead ing 011(1:••• Cribb and Oliver nesde an excellent set•tn, but although against the veteran Champion, in justice to Oliver he had decidedly the best of it, and drew Cribh's claret. Oliver has been taking very carotid training fur his combat with Gas on the Iftth of June, sad be has gained much qnicknesa, and rather astonished his friends. The Champion, 0.1 t►e eon. teary, has been la the sunshine of plenitude, with his pipe and his pall, and this set-to awoke him. Res Barn and Harry Harmer (hewed off a batch of science and rush, which gave much satisfaction. Sampson sod Rasher made an entertaining set-in, or it was rather a light in reality, with the gloves. Sampson made no efforts to hit in the first two rounds, but he par ried too well to get hit. In the third round he chromed his system, and let loose with his left hand, until Rasher's head saddled about like a Chinese image, as seen in the streets, and he had all the hest of the art.to. Brummagem will be at work at them, and he has put the big black's fighting on one side by the nobbing be gave bins. Spencer and Burke also had a good tarn, as had the new Gas man and Mason, but the former is too heavy • hitter for the hitter. Randall and Turner.—These heroes, first and second of the light weights, spewed off very fine micron*. and their parries drew forth much applause. la fact it was bat little else, fur they are such adepts that bits are very scarce with them. Belcher shewed off upon Dittoes bead, and Turner re. turned thanks and made his bow. Most of the fancy left so be present at anot►er set-to at buttocks and sirloins, at Belcher's, where the whole of the mosey was made good for the fight between Oliver and Gas, making the deposit of 501.-100 f. a aide.

Ancient Liring.—Binhop LATIMRR, in one of his court sermons before King EDWARD, inveighing. against the nobility and gentry, and speaking of the moderation of landlords a few years before, and the plenty in which their tenants lived, tells his au dience, in a familiar way, that upon a farm of FODR pounds per year, at the utmost, his father tilled as much hind as kept half a dozen men ; that he bad it stocked with a hundred sheep and thirty cattle; that he found the King a man and horse; gave his daughters rive pounds a piece in marriage ; lived honourably among his neighbours; and was not backward, in his alms to the poor.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, LiNcoLs's INN, TUESDAY. M•y 19. ~ 1 The LORD CHANCELLOR came into Court et half-post ten o'clock. JUDGMENT. THE EARL OF WESTMEATH v. THE COUNTESS OF , WesTlll RATA, The LORD CRANCSLLOR—" This case came be fore me oil motion on the behalf of the Noble tiff, praying for an injunction to restrain the Noble Defendant from levying on his estates in Ireland for the amount of an annuity granted by him to her, under certain conditi ons . It came into C ourt on a bill filed by the Plaintiff against the Countess of Westmeath, his wife, and it prayed that two in. dentures. executed by the Plaintiff to her in the years 1817 and 1818, might be &creed by the Court to be cancelled; and it also vayeil, if the Court should not think proper to order them to be cancelled, that it would consider the undue means they were obtained by, and decree that they should not be acted on. The bill, after stating the mar riage settlement of the Noble Parties, sets out the deed of the 17th of December 1817, which reciter, that differences bad arisen to such a height between the Eat' mid Countess of Westmeath that they were hound to separate, but that she (the Countess), by the interference of mutual friends, agreed to continue to cohabit with the Earl. her husband, on condition that he executed the deed, which vested in trustees certain parts of the Noble Earl's estates io Ireland, for the payment of 1.300/. a yrur to the Countess, with the remainder, 1011 her decease, to her infant daughter ; and that on the renewal sr any ill treatment on the part of the Noble Earl. they should cease to cohabit, and that the trustees should raise so much money as might be agreed oft by the mutual friends of the panics, to be paid to the Countess; and iii case of such separation tatt ing place, .that the Earl should execute a deed to facilitate the payment, and that the children of the marriage should be educated under the sole care of the Countess, the Earl snaking a pro.. vision for that purpose, and the provision not to cease on account of any sutnetinent recoti ciliation that might take place between the Eett end Countess. 1 can uuderstand why this 'pity. viso was introduced ; it was to meet the trine which has been laid down for cases %% t i t s deeds of separation have been executed, that if re conciliation takes place there Iva end of the deed.- The proviso that if, on gross abuse by the Noble Each,. a separation took place, was thrown in • to give the Countess the power of trying the goes tion of cruelty in a Conn of Law or Equity, without being obliged to go to the Spiritual Court. The Noble Earl had thought proper,. by lauhae quent deed. dated in May, 1818, slier a draft of a similar deed had beensent to a law statioweeostrich be (the Noble Earl) destroyed, to vest certain Wilda in Lord Cranborn and Mr. Wood; in yaw for .99 years, as the deed expresses, At she elapses* de sire of the gountess; and. for die ciottlidoration of 10r. to raise the sum of 1,300/. per annual. for six years, to be paid to the Country, wifhllie addition of 300/.
