By some passengers which canted at Portsmouth, we Isar that tranquillity prevailed through out India, the measures and precautions of the Governor-Ge neral having had the most decided effect on the turbulent spirit of the Mahratta Chieftains, who ..re so closely watched by our troops, for whose maintenance they severally pay heavy subsidies, that they will not again be able very !weedily to collect large bodies of troops to disturb their more peace able neighbours.

On 'Friday the Dult.e of York went In Windsor to be in renditiess.to bold a Council upon the state Of the King. At twelve o'clock his Royal I-figh 11V64 assembled the Members of the Council at lVintlkor Palace, which was attended by, besides his Royal Highness. The Archbishop of einterhory, ths Bishop of London, the Duke of Montrose, the Earl of 4'tiehihies, and Lord Ard.n. After receiving the month's Report from the Doctors in attendance on his Majesty, and having sworn them to the correctness of it, they proceeded to visit the King. At one o'clock the Council broke up.. The Duke of York returned to town from at. tending the Council on Saturday evening. Yesterday General Garth, one of the King's Equerries, and one of the King's Pages from Wind sor, were, according to the new arrangement, in at. teridnnce at St. James's Palace, to phew the monthly bulletin of the state of the King, and to receive the nanies of the Nobility, &c. in q uirers, together with .t gro ))))) of the Chamber, , t: the _en. tleinen and Under Porters, a party of the Yeomen of the Guard, &c. General Garth, and the other attendants waited till five o'clock, an hour beyond the usual time, but no bulletin arrived. A Memieriger was sent to the Secretary of Stair's Office fur the Home De parturient, from whence the bulletin 1140 been usually sent to the Palace, but the Gentlemen in attendance there were equally at a loss to se. count for the non.arrivsl of the bolletio. I.s none had arrived there from Windsor. General Garth, on leaving the Palace, proceeded to York House, to report the circumstance to the Duke of York. WINDSOR. JUNE 5. -.....- Yesterday being the Anniversary of the King's Birth Day. the morning was ushered in with the ringing of bells and other rejoicings. la the evening the young gentlemen belonging to Eton College had a regatta on the river Timmer on the occasion. They proceeded in eight handsome fancy pleasure boats as far as Surly HAII, where they landed and partook of au elegant supper, after which they re turned in the same order as they went; the first boat had ten ours, the others had eight each ; the young Noblemen and Gentlemen in them were elegantly dressed upon the occasion. They were accompanied by two boats, in each of which were bands of wind instruments. They returned back to Windsor-bridge. About half-past eight o'clock a discharge of fireworks commenced on the height. in commemoration of the Sovereign's birth-day ; their discharge continued till half-past Mute, when the young Noblemen and Gentlemen were rowing about its their boats, which considerably heightened the effect of the aquatic fete. The fireworks were allowed to have been the best that had been sten there, and at the close the bands struck up God sane the King.. The shores of Windsor and Eton were crowded to excess. to witness the rejoicings, with pedestrians, horsemen, and carriages of various descriptions. The Town Hall, the Royal trades people's houses, and the principal inns, were bril liantly illuminated. On Saturday the Earl of HAREWOOD had a grand and numerous dinner party at his house in Hanover-square; among the company were, Mr. FAWKES. the Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord and Lady Wm. Russzt.t., Sir JOHN BESESFORD, Mr. WENT. WORTH, Lady PETER, &C. &C. Public curiosity, as well as interest, has been highly excited by Miss KistLit's bill of fare fur her benefit this evening, at the English Opera Howse. We heartily wish her all the success her great talents deserve ; and have no doubt the pub lic will be delighted to greet her return, and that Of their other long absent favourite, Mr. DOWTON, to the hoards of a London theatre. The sport at Ascot Heath. this week. promises to be greater than has been known for many years. The number of horses at the ground is snore C3lllll. derable than has been for a long time remembered. It is Understood that the PRINCE REGENT will he at his cottage, in the Great Park. during the week; and the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR is expected to take this opportunity of witnessing the most favourite amusement of our nation. An author, speaking of the death of the late Prin. OSP CHARLOTTE, introduces some curious CIA O . cidences with respect to the letter C. Her mother's name is CAROLINE—her own was CHARLOTTE— that of her consort COBURG—she was married at Carlton House—her town residence was Carni-Iford House—the late owner of which, Lord CAMELFORD, was untimely killed in a duel —her country resi dence was Claremont—not long ago the property of Lord Ct.tv e, who terminated Ills own existence. She died in childbed, and the name of her accoucheur was CROFT, who committed suicide. The principle of the alteration in the Assessed Taxes we understand to be this—that by paying a composition of 5 per cent. in addition to their pre sent Assessed Taxes for houses mid windows, and of 10 per cent. for horses ■nd carriages, persons may increase their existing establishment to any amount ; but they may not add fresh articles : fur example, a man by paying in per cent. upon Isis present stud of horsey, suppose three, may, if he likes, odd other three to the numbers ; but not keeping any carriage, he may not now set up one for the compositioie. The new Loan forms a striking instance of the obligation which Ministers owe to the superior talent and intelligence of the Opposition. Mr. Gees- FELL first called the attention of Pailiarnent to the expediency of applyiug the Sitiking Food to the Loan of the year, in the way in which Mini. stirs have now applied it, in the year 1514. in a speech which is now in print. He his urged this measure, but urged it in coin, upon every new Louis since 1814 ; and in the present Session, about three wicks ago. submitted a distinct motion on this suluject to lire House of Commons, which Ministers opposed and defeated. They have, how ever, thought proi,er to adopt the plan su repeat edly pressed upon them by Mr. CastaLLL—thus furnishing an additional and satisfactory itroof of what perseverance in a good cause will effect, and that truth and correct principles, however opposed, will gradually make their way, and ultimately e►tablish themselves. , ma 4" ••• L TIIEAT R ES. .....-- COVENT-GALitli:N. StiAIOPEARE'S historical ploy of King flenry flit Eighth was performed on Saturday earning, the part of Queea Kathdrine by Miss O'NT PALE. in which character she had appeared, for the first tune, .ois the night of her benefit; Though there is I. rs of bustle and incident in this pl.iy than in any other of tho.e which SH A RSPI!A E founded on ruble portions of English hi+u,t•t', y.t the chart' personages who figure in it sire drawn with so •h strength a n d Truth, ant! its principal *relies combine, in so ciiiiiielit a degree, all that is noble in poetry, with all that ill ii.teresting in situation, that it must ever be read, and, when properly represented, ever be two, with pleasure. The part of Queen Katharine does not embrace so extensive r scope of action as any of those chow ten which we had previously seen Miss O'Neti l t. delitieate. Katharine may he said, indeed, to live but in one scene—but it is one of transcendent ex cellence—and transcendent must be the talents that can place it before us, glowing its the vivid colours of reality. We allude, of course, to the scene in which the Quern is cited to bear the (ton of her divorce solemnly argued. Notwith standing the smile of contempt winch our declara tion may elicit from the hiudatorrs tettipuris arta, we are of opinion, that greater groins never was, mid probably B:ever will be, disilsyed in this scene, than glowed in the performance of Miss O'Ntri.t.. There were, its her deportment, a grace and dignity, which, however erroneously, the mind generally associates with its idea of royalty. She looked, indeed, every inch a Queen !" Per haps her countenance was not matronly enough for the representative of one who had been twenty years a wife—but this is a fault, which we are not anxious to see corrected—we trust, on the contrary, that it may be the subject of observation for many years ! In the opening of this scene Katharine appeals to the Kiag, as a forlorn women and a strimger, to do her right and justice. It is a short, but ■ most affecting appeal—and, as it was de livered by Miss O'Netu„ excited in every heart, toot utterly destitute of sensibility, emotions of the deepest commiseration. In the subsequent of the scene, the atrur to sl the part e, iggle cmicraL wounded feelings of the woman, and to assert the proud dignity of the sovereign, wan pour tined with incomparable excellence. It w.s pain fully true to nature. The rebuke of Wulsey par took of the fleeting, but passionate energy, which usurps the place of grief, whets we encounter the author or our wretchedness. Her words were " slunk' of fire.," and produced as powerful mu effect on the audience as any passage we ever heard recited on the stage. The most fervent and unanimous ap plause attended Miss O'NEILL throughout her per formance.—Mr. Youstia's Cardinal IFolsey was a fine specimen of sober, intelligent, and, in his last scene, of pathetic acting. The beautiful soliloquy, beginning " This is the state of man," was de livered in ■ most impressive style.—Mr. EGER TON'S representation of the passionate and lasci vious Henry, who may, not unaptly, hr denomi nated the English Blue Beard, was, as it ought to he, bold, rough, and overbearing. Mr. EGER. TON had evidently studied the character as it has been drawn by the historian. ENGLISH OPERA•HOUSE. Mr. MATHEWS closed his Al Bowe on Saturday night, after a must splendid and successful season, on which occasion he spoke the following FAREWELL ADDRESS. " !ADM AND GINTLIEMIEN—The longest journey Meat have an end, and the pleaaanter onr progress on the road, the more painful is the parting with our fellow-travellers Semis is my feelings at this moment, when, after travelling 40 nights to and trout Paris iii your company, the hour is at kugth arrived when I must reluctantly bid you farewell. " If I may be allowed to judge of she cordial mike with which my labours have been cheered throughout, I may venture to hope that you participate in this feeling; and I shall therefore whet myself, in separation from my indulgent friends, with the pleasing task of preparing to re ceive them Al How again neat Season, with new mattes fur their estermiument. "To Ibis end I shall study new characters, and aim at new persouations; not with an unworthy view to outrage private feelings, by holding up personal defects to ridicule, but with the more useful, aud at the same time less of. (easier, object of skewing how easily peculiarities became disagreeable if suffered to grow into habits ; and how fre quently habits, if so indulged in, may become ridiculous. " Such, with all humility, I consider to be the fair game of what is attempted to he degraded by the name of mimicry. It is that iu Ibephysiral world which Satire is in Slit mural ; mud if the work of a Satirist of manstere be not degraded by the appellation of a Lampoon, I know not shy the ex hibition of an /agitator of Manner should be classed with t►e mere grimaces of a Buffoou. " I have thought it necessary to say thus much in defence of that which I consider as the very soul of the profession of an setur—fasitatiom : for no one, I presume, will deny, that Sleakspeare would have written in vain (so far as applies to Stage representation), had actors attempted to play Othello with a fair fate, or Richard the Third without a hump. " Thus it appears there ore cases in which corn personal deformities and defects may become proper subjects of sa tire. Such as the decrepitude of age alfectiug the follies and gay frivolities of youth; the rich, and antiquated, one. eyed lover, ogling the young aud beautiful victim of an odious mission; or a youthful coxcomb, with bandy legs, obtruding his pitiable deform/lyrist your notice hy exhibiting his otherwise pretty person in a quadrille. Such, in endless variety. are the fair mud allowed objects of imitative sa tire ; still, I may perhaps be acquitted from any charge of vanity, when I assert, that, even in such cases, a more than ordinary accuracy of observation is necessary to bit off sac• cessfally t h ose nice diatinctiows of character and meaner which form the wide differeace between a correct portrait and a vulgar caricature; and if I have succeeded, ur can suc ceed (by balding Stir • or up to nature, and sheisitig Fully her own imare, Riot Vice its own deformity) in corieelisig any one of a foolish habit, or an offeasive mean: iiii y.—and, above all, in afros ilium the piddle a few hours of harmless ninth, 1 think my Labours amply rewarded. and that my life has nut been altogether passed,ur my humble taleuta exerted, without some degree of usefulness.
