The critical situation of affairs in France bocomes every day more interesting, from the fluctuations of fear and hope v.hicli each succeeding day chances to bring with it, se eJr.litig to the changes for the better or the worse, in the K No's health. His MAJESTY talks of his approaching witli firmness, and looks forward to it without dismay. This inward serenity betokens at least a con science not scared by much self-reproach. In truth, he has, we believe, as much, perhaps more, of virtuous tea denc in bin dispo3ition and character than usually falls to 11;.: lot of persons in his exalted station. It is not unusual to visit upon a King the sins of his Minister, and in this re spect Louts XVIII. has suffered not a little. Eat time red teeth will speedily dohim justice. His 11IA.1..:STY is well aware that his brother the Count n'A r.To is, in con junction with M. DE VILLELF, are proceedings/naafi., me de justice, to revive the supremacy of the priesthood. Ile feresces plainly enough, that after he is gone the sceptre o F.allet will go effectively into the hands of the Cardi nals, and that mun r‘4.(lreitdissime PL'ee en lien will be, both estensibly and actually, the real ruhr. His Majesty, in his heart, deplores this, but he has ceased to reign, and has long avoided all interference in public affairs, which he well knows would only involve him in vexation and dis quietude, without leading to the least useful result. The fi,ilowing extract from a letter we have just received will confirm the above remarks:- I,a ranter du Not continue de se snatenir dans unmeillnsr kat ; Errs sentait le plus aecable, it v n quelques Pun, it de r ondait i man medicin, itepourdit pu tuourir dun: us de cse smstudenee dent 11 se sestait Sethi de temps en temps." eetr.nle le Metlicin cherchait a le rammer ; "Ah," di. le Rot •• je crainspeu de mourir; je ecsserai alms de soufrier, et sa:lout de wir les mitosis gni enrirotment toujoues inosin:re." The above, for the accuracy of which we can vouch, eenotes not only the sennity of the King's fe...nngs under the solemn contemplation of his approaching tad, but the harassment of mind which he suffers from obrerving the complete subjection of the Count D'AaTots, to the crowd, in priestly vestments, that perpetually surround him. "1 have no great fear of death," says the dying Mo- NAFCH, " for I Shall then cease to suffer, and, above all, I than cease fu beho!4l the SURPLICES that continually en circle ?11l br.ther." We have observed, with inexpressible pain, the revival if a disgusting traffic, which the well-directed (forts of a very useful Institution had in great measure suppressed. We allude to t' sale of obscene engravings and publica tions. A few years ago works of th;s stamp were rare:} seen. Now they arc openly displayed, with revolting pro fligacy, in the windows of most of the pamphlet venders in the metropolis, and constitute, we fear, no inconsiderable portion of their trade. The grossest oareees against public decency are committed with the calmest effrontery, and the eves of every respectable female an: unavoidably insulted by the most shocking exhibitions, which are generally }dared in the most conspicuous station in the shop. These marts of immorality abJund to an extent that is absolutely surprising; and some of our princii;al thoroughfares are thereby almost rendered impassable to all but the liemtious and the abandoned. We consider this to be an evil which eills aloud for immediate attention ; and as the crime is in its own meter:. clear and palpable, we trust thLt the punis& mint of the guilty may be in every case proportionately severe. We know not how to account for the apparent cessation of the labours of the Society for the Supprt-s -sion of Vice. If its funds be Mad( 'pate, why is not art appeal math to the public for further aid? We are sure that such an appeal•would not be ma-:e in vain, and if accompanied with a public meeting for that purpose, the evil would be, perhaps, half destroyed, without a sMgle necution, The renders of these in . :anions publications would he frlghscned trthe farm of the law from their pursuit cf " filthy lucre," and they would, we dare say, gladly consent to purchase forgiveness by refraining from future offence. The original Imblishers, however, should not be allowed to escape thus easily. They, at all events, should be dragged to the bar of criminal justice. The con &knee file by these most noxious traders in iniquity, has I induced some of them to issue their works periodically ; a eentinual supply Lf this baneful matter is by this means' sent forth to c3rrupt the innocent, and aggravate still deeper i the sins and shamelessness of the already corrupted. The extent of the mischief produced by these publications it is! difficult to estimate ; nor is it mere invective to say that it would .be too much, on a repetition of their guilt, to drive ',them for ever from a country, whose morals thq, for the basest ends, endeavour to pollute. The con tagiousness of obscenity is known to all. The morality of youth depend, chiefly on its ignorance of vice. The strength of the passions, and the want of experience, increase the perils of indiserc :ion at an age when—certainly with one sex and too often with the other—illicit indul gence lays the foundation of an utter depravation of cha racter. Every head of a family must tremble as he con templates the consequences of the unrestrained circulation of these detestable works—the father for the morals of his children—he muter for these of his Servants. 'rite public owe a vast debt of gratitude to the Society for the Sup pression of Vice, for what that Society fc:merly did in putting an end to the open sale of indecent 'publications. If the Society be now unable to proceed against the present race of criminals fur want of funds, the public would not hesitate to remove this inability, by giving a fresh supply to those hands which have so well administered all that has yet been intrusted to them. We arc unwilling to sup pose there has been any culpable remissness on the part of the Society's otfic3rs, but unless there be a want of funds we must come to that conclusion, as the evil has notori ously reached a monstrous height, and stares every pas senger in the face at noon day. Some days 110 we stated, that a series of experiments ' had been made with Mr. Snern's patent compressed steam boiler, to prove how far it would be applicable to the mak ing of sugar in our West India Colonies. On the com plete success of the trial then made, we congratulated the patentee and the public at large. On Friday last a second set of experiments were instituted, to prove its capability for refining sugar. These were conducted on Mr. Man g:LILT:I premises, Upper Thames-street, under the im mediate superintendence of one of the most extensive and scientific sugar refiners in the metropolis. Two boiling! were run off iu sixteen and seventeen minutes from the period of lighting the fire; and the Gentleman who con ducted the experiments, expressed himself highly gratified by the style in which the sugar was concentrated. It was then run into pots to be cloyed, and compared with some of the same materials, prepared in the ordinary way. It will be some time before the process is complete, but when it is we shall lay an account of the result before our readers. On Saturday the boiler was proved, up to a pressure of forty-seven pounds on the square inch, which will give a heat more than sufficient to refine tallow, a process which, in the belle:. in common use, is both tedious end difficult, but which, by using the compression boiler, the heat of which can be regulated to a single degree of the thermometer, will be comparatively simple and easy. The experiments made upon this substance, together with one which we lieu is about to be made upon gra nulating East India sugar, and refining saltpetre, we shall take notice of on a future occasion. The only fears which were entertained u to the feasibility of the process, arose from an apprehension that so many rivets being re quired, the vessel might not be quite steam tight, as some inconvenience of this kind was experienced in the trials made at lirmingham ; but from the workmanship of Mr. Marshall's boiler all difficulties on this score were com pletely set at rest, as it was found that not a particle escaped. Since the excitenientausedby the bustle of war has subsided, and the n ise,firm, and liberal conduct of his Majesty's Mini sters bas silenced the jarring; of domestic politics, the undi- ' vided attention of the public has been called to the arts of peace ; and the strides which these arts have made have been proportionably rapid. We intend to keep cur eye steadily fixed on their progress, anti give them publicity by every means in our power, as, in our opinion, it may, with some truth, be said of the man, who by his inventive powers in- CiVa3CS the comforts of the community, were it c:en in an improved method of making a needle, what a philosopher of the last age said of the man who causes a blade of grass to grow where a blade of grass never grew before—viz., that be confers a more essential benefit en mankind than all the wrangling metaphysicians the world ever produced. Mr. Kaye, a Kin's lessenger, was ;sent off on Friday evening front the Fo:eign aii•r, with despatches for the Right lion. il.iry Ircilv:iey, our Ambassador at Vi-Anta. Letters from Lima of the 9th of April state that, in C7ll formity with the proclamation of La Serua, lamed on the 11ilt of March at Cusco, the Spanish troops in Lima had bean sworn to obey the absolute King. It was, however, not done with the cordial concurrence of the soldiery, among whom there existed a secret but strong attachment to the Constitution. Extract of a letter, dated Smyrna, August 4:—" This town has btvin in a foul state for the last few days, b, the passage of Turkish troops to Scalanova and Samos. Ihey have committed the most abomirable excesses here, and pillaged the surrounding villages. Our hanars have been closed during the whole time, and many of the houses bar ricadoed." Tlm Active, Captain Patit•ne , .. arrived at Plymouth on Tinerstlay, In 79 days, from Cape Coast Castle.

Yesterday his Majesty, attended by Ids suite, arrived at the Castle, from the Royal Lodge, in two carriages and four, to fleet the principal Officers of the suite of the late King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands, who arrived here from London for that purpose. They went all over Windsor Castle, and cm:leered their surprise at the grandeur of that fine building. Afterwards the King re turned to the Royal Lodge: and the suite of their late Majesties returned to London in two carriages. . .

Her Royal Highness returned to Bushy in the afternoon. _ . . Yesterday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, Mr. Secretary Can:Aug left his residence, Gloucester Lodge, for Ireland. Mr. Canning was engaged on Saturday at Gloucester Lodge, transacting business relative to the South Ameri:an Statts, which prevented his departure that day, as was intended. It is stated that the Right lion. Secretary will pass through Coventry and Liverpool ou his way to Ireland. We copied on Saturday, from a morning paper, a para graph stating that Mr. Secretary Canning had taken a ' grand house in Privy Gartlenv. We now learn that there is not a word of truth in the statement, which we are enabled most positively to contradict. The Duke of Norfolk has arrived at his scat, Arundel Castle, from 0.2 Isle of Wight. Ills Grace leaves this week for Norfolk Ilouse. Lard Sidmouth has been presented with the freedom of Exeter. Lord Gifford is visiting amongst Lis early friends in the west of England.

A PENNYWORTH or Wir.—When a certain worthy Altlennan, whose name reminds one of spring or summer, kept a cliorsemonger's shop in the Minorits, a drayinan ' came in, and asked for a penn yworth of cheese. " 1 don't know how to make a penn orth," replied the ineinicnt Baronet. " Not make a penn'orth ! what can yon make?" inquired the err:tomer. " A quarter of a pound. which is two pennyworth." rejoined the checscroonger. " Very will, let's see it." IThen the cheese was weighed, the drayntstn took a clasp knife, cut it exactly in half, threw down his penny, and took up his moiety, exclaiming, "'There. now you know how to make a ptnn'orth of cheese!" lIMPORTAXT NIATTERI, WORTHY OT REMEMBRANCE. — A legatee should not be a witness to the will containing the legacy; he cannot site the executors, or give evidence to rata:nib:a the will.—An executor or administrator may pay himself the whole of his debt., in preference to the rest of the simple contract maims of the deceased, although the eff..cts should but be sufficient for that purpose; but he cannot retain his debt in preference to specialty cre ditors.— If If a person makes a will duly witnessed, devising all his real estates to a certain person, and after the execution of such will he purchase other real estates, such last-pur,:iased estates will not pass under that will ; he must make an other will, or add a codicil.—?he Economist.

It possess: s a quantum :id - licit of buoyant hu mous, and comic incident to render it a ligLt and laughable entertainment for a summer evening. Mr. Farren's Lard Derby has been considered quite a masterpiece of that species of comedy to which it belongs. It is, indeed, the most perfect picture of amorous senility on 'the stage. Ills tall and slender figure, his sharp visage, and the orbicular rolling of his eye, supply him will) natural advantages, which, perhaps, no other actor possess; a, fnr depicting the helplessness and dotage of the veteran voluptuary. We liked him better in the part, however, when we saw hint first in it some few years ago. His performance was then more natural, and therefore me -e pleasing and perfect—, "by least affecting, he eff.eted most.' Lately, however, his acting has acquired an artificial tinge; all his sayings and doings are a manifest aim at run') de thra; re ; his humour has become ahnost as dry as the remainder-biscuit after a voyage ; and his voice, from taecrwecnin,z anxiety to create effect, does not, as it was wont to do, " pipe and whistle in the sound like second childishness. Miss ,Clnster played Fanny for the fi rst time. She acted the 1 1 part very delightfully, without at all overdoing it. It was easy, it was elegant, it was pathetic • in short, it was cvt ry thing that it ought to he. Mr. Harley, as Brush, was ea r ceedingly &cll. In the scene with Nliss Wood, he pie , a perfect lesson to any portion of the audience that might 't!: disposed to area drunkenness, and make love to a cLou bermaid. Alter the comedy, a new farce was produced, somewhat whimsically called 'nevoid l'n=le a Coninro , . The only discoverable pretext for such a title, is that of one of the characters being placed in a situation of embarrassment, and thinking proper to exclaim, " %would puzzle a con juror" to extricate The piece, or rather the translation aod adaptation of it to the Haymarket, is by Nfr. Poole. The story is one which leas been before em bodied into farces its a er.:iety of shapes, and under a va riety of names, at other theatres. It lies within a very narrow compass :—Peter, Czar of Muscovy, undertakes the very improbable task of visiting the principal towns of Eu rope, and of travelling through them in disguise is order to learn the rc spectiye trades of tin ir inhabitants. In this pur suit he becom. s a workman in the dock-yard of Sartlam. lie , there assumes the name of Peter Alia/dog: With him in 'the dock-yard is Peter Staninitz (Mr. liarley), a deserter, who pays his court to a very pretty woman (Mrs. Chat terly) whose only office in the piece is to run off the stage and return, and be kissed by whoever happens to be upon it, all which she gees through with exemplary propriety, and manifest satisfaction to herself and the audience. It is ascertained that the Czar of Muscovy is at Sardam in disguise. The crowned heads scud their ambassadors of fering a reward to the Burgomaster (Mr. Liston) to discover the disguised Emperor. The several ambassadors present their despatches to the Chief Magistrate, who, in order to give Mr. Liston an opportunity of-making a few !ackiithisicat observations on his incapacity to spell, is made so deplorably ignorant as not to be able to rend. The Burgomaster de sires the master of the dock-yarld to call all his men be fore him. Ile then orders any person amongst them of the name of Peter to stand forward. It happens that fifteen out of twenty bear that name, and therefore the mere name affords no clue to the discovery. A second command is given for " Peter, the foreigner," to come forth, and Har ley and Cooper obey the call: The difficulty then is to discover which of them is the incognito Czar. The blun dering Burgomaster thinks the prohabilitics are in favour of Harley, and tells him he is found out. Harley thinks his desertion is found out, and that he is to be shot. He is however hailed as Emperor ; and, pleased with the title, thinks as well to bear it as to he shot. He feels some awkwardness tin not haying been brought up "in the po tentate line;" but that inconvenience, as well as his inca pacity to read, he expects to surmount by employing his comrade, Peter as his secretary. There is a great deal of manse:sling between the Ambassadors of the different Courts to try which of them shall first discover the Czar, and be entitled to the reward of 200. ducats of fered for his detection. The Ambassadors are at fault, and some are misled to take Harley for his Majesty. The Czar (Cooper), however, reveals himself to the French Anileissalloe Coveney), who takes the unwarrantable liberty with his Majesty's title of dipping it most unmerci fully, hyie. ailing him the "Scissor" of Muscovy. The situa tions of the piece are sufficiently dramatic, and the scenes be tween the Burgomaster and Ambassadors are ludicrous, but somewhat too absurdly so. We need scarcely add, that the piece concludes by the recognition of the real Czar, and he takes leave of the audience as he is on the eve of his departure, to re-assume the government of his dominions, in which his sister Catharine had excited a revolt in his absence. Such are the materials (neither very new nor very valuable ones) of the new Farce. It has been matti f,stly got up, as modern dramas generally are, to sus the respective talents and peculiarities of the performers of the establishment for which the author writes. Accordingly, Mr. Harley bad a part in wkiell he could stop short and run about the stage, as suited his whim, and he had ample opportunities of displaying the _heir of his performance— blundering vivacity, and blank stupidity. Again, the Burgomaster of Saran was made to possess all the pe culiarities of Mr. Liston, and Mr. Liston made to appear very unlike the Burgomaster of Sardam or any other place. " Mace disc, The dialogue is of extreme me diocrity, and as to sentiment and language, the new Farce . belongs to that department of the drama, • that yields no fairer trace Of wit titan puns—of humour titan grimace." The house was ihry eremite:ll ; the repetition of The iflatatestine hforrin . ge was given out with very general, that of the new Farce with very partial, applause. A report is prevalent that an Italian Opera is to be cpcncd during the next sinter season, under the manage ment of several noble Directors, at the Lyceum Theatre; and that the Operas will be performed on the aiternate nights of Mr. Mathews's popular entertainments. Miss Macauley attracted much company last week to the Margate theatre. She played Adelgillia, Isabella, and L , 111.9 Radapha Lantberearrl with great applause. The Liverpool theatre bas this season been supported by the talents of Mr. C. Kemble ' Mr. Connor, Mr. Mea dows. Mr. Browne Mr. Knight, Mr. Jams, Mr. Dowton, and Mr. Bland:art!, Mrs. Ogilvie. Mrs. Bunn, Mesdatres L. Kelly, M. Ilammersley, Clara Fisher, Smithson, Forde, and M. Tree. M'. Illancliard, Mr. Hunt. and Miss M. Tree are now pet forming there. Miss M. Tree's health is in so delicate a state as not to admit of her yeerfonning in more titan one piece of an evening. On Wethitsday Past an apoloq was made fur her non-amvarauce in the part of R,siea, in the Barber cf Sera. She had previously played 41faer, in Charles the &soled, and showed evident signs of indisposition. Her prefessional exertions must have injured her health. It is much to be latnottesl that site stiff.ra her engagements in diithrent and distant parts of the kitiga..” so rapidly to succeed each other as not to allow her sufSeient time to reamer from the fatigue of :ravelling and constant performing. The theatre has been in gt 'mod well attended, and die benefits of the performers have been very productive. Mr. Tirry is announces fax Sir l'crlinax this evening. Mr. M'Creatly and Miss Lacy arc also mentioned as being in the catalogue of stars yet to appear.

The Government bad reeeir.xl despatches from the Commissioners in France, apprising it of the insidious propositions made to them by the French Ministers, and of the probability of the negomation coming to a speedy rupture. In consequence of this informrica the l'resident renewed the orders issued some months as% for putting the posts and fortresses in a complete stole of I defence, for maintaining the troops of the line at their fsl establishment, and for the, efEctire organization of the N:- tional Guards. • To the decree republished on this occiii:a is prefixed the following spirited Proclamation :— LIBERTY—REPUBLIC OP HAYTI—EQUALITY.
