I THE QUEEN. The Passect IRKGPIIT arrived at Kew Palace on Tuesday evening from the Stud House, Hamp ton Court, on a visit to her MAJESTY. His Royal Highness remained there u considerable time. We are sorry to say her MAJESTY was not ao well yes terdny as she was uti Tuesday, and was not able to take her usual airing iii her garden-chaise. Sir FRANCVS MILIIAN remained in attendance, and SirEriav 11•Leciats left his attendance on the KING at Windsor, and arrived at Kew, The report yesterday of the state of her &lAier- Vv's health was— The Queen bas sot bad a good flied." The doubts entertained revpecting the authenti city of the Spanivh Official Note, which we inserted yesterday, are now removed. The Ministerial Jour nals are authorised to assert, that it is genuine, and an exact translation of the original Note addressed to the Allied Powers. They air) admit its great importance, as clearly proving that the Governments of Europe are about to interfere as Mediators he tweet, Spin and her Colonies ; adding, that the language of the Note is quite explicit on this point, where it is said, that " the answers of the High Al lies open a way for very important negotiations, and may lead the Powers to employ ■ll the means that prudence and vigour suggest to bring under sub jrction the revolted Provinces, and put an end to the immorality and political contagion arising from such a *We of affairs." Now really this does not appear to be a legiti mate condos' from these premises. We see nothing in this language horn whence we must stecemarily infer that the Allies propose to interfere not as parries, hut merely as metlisatotx. The oh. ject of the revolted Provinces is to effect their iude prudence— to throw off the Spanish yoke, as their countrymen of the north freed themselves from that of England. The terms offered by the King of SPAIN in the Note, are only a recital of a proffer long since made and rejected. The amnesty has been offered to them on condition of their return to their allegiance, and has been recoiled. Ad missibility to all offices in common with Euro pean Spaniards has been also offered, and refused. It is independence they want, and nothing less will satisfy them. If, then, as we are told in the Note, the answers et the Allied Powers open a way for very importatit negotiations, and may lead them to employ all the means that prudence and vigour suggest to bring the revolted Provinces tinder sub jection, they oppbse themselves to the sole and single object for which the Provinces are con tending, and become not mediators, but parties. The 'return of the Provinces to the Spanish yoke is "ghat they undertake to effect, by every means that prudence and vigour (that is, arms and cowl. sell) can accomplish, and this they call mediation. Amnesty to a defeated or a desperate foe is a boon; but the Patriots of South America are not detested, nor is their case desperate. They are not then in a sttuut' to ask for amnesty, and are just as competent to offer it as nt boon to their oppo. meats—as to the eligibility of the natives to officeb in common with Spaniard•, it would he dearly pur chased by their post exertions, and the forfeiture of timer bright hopes which perseverance commit fail to realise. This second propos is, in fact, a mere lore, ass absolute delusion. The Spanish Govern ment would Inset the appointment to those places, offices, and employments. The natives would he eli gible, but not one of them would he chosen ; so that their *Amnion nista be rendered only more is ksonse, by exciting hopes destined never to be gratified. Besales, the chatacter of mediator suggests the idea of ibtlSoll4 of neutral qualities, persons betocets the contending potties, and without bias or undue influence towards either. Can, then, she legitimate Surritigns of Europe, those professed raison.* of any clusisge its the old estaLlislied order of though call fist ("tsetse, impartial and tit sue diatuis betwerts Simiss and he► revolted Colonies?

In the mese the most fair and impartial m►diation. the chance is, that the mediators, in the progress of the piece, !seems, accessories, if not printi sada. in a he quarrel; but iis the present case they come forward' - at (MCC as parties. Why, then, will the Minister of England enter upon such a dangeroue service at this critical rnoinent ? We lament that the Parliament is not 'king. arid that mark mischief may be deist% which, if sitting, its influence might present. The Paris Papers of the 231 hare arrived, It is stated in the Journal des Debuts, on the authority of the Journal de la Belgigne, that the Duke or WeLLINGeost, since his late visit to England, has filially settled every thing respect ing the evacuation of France by the English troops, the review of which is fixed for the beginning of September. Our private letters from Parisi slate, that the number of English, Irish, and Scotch iii Fence, appears on the Police books to amount to 62,000, every one of whom is registered as to name, residence, &c. and could be arrested in 24 hours. The evacuation of the country by the Army of Occupation will be the signal for the return of a greet proportion of this emigiant population. It is estimated tlitt their expenditure amounts to 50,0001. a dry—s sum which, if spent at home, would give an impulse to trade even in Londnu it self. The Duke of WELLINGTON is now in Paris. The judgment which he obtained against the Edi tors of the Journal of East and West Handers, fur libel, is filially confirmed. The Five per Cent. Consols, on the 22d, were 79 f. 70 c.; Bank Actions, 1,6-25 f. We hive received a series of Baibadoes Papers to the 30th or June.

ANCIENT ART. ft appears from the foreign Priests. that arrange. mews are now making at Rome fur the construc t of au .ipparatita to fish in the. Tiber, in the hope of reg yr some of the sculptural awl other vestiges of ancient Art. which mice adorned that celebrated City. It is astossishing that this specu lative process has remained so long unattended to, though so often pressed on the attentiou of the Pa pal Government. When our celebrated country man, Mt. ADDISON, was its Rome, nearly a century ago, he made the following remarks on this sub ject : " But the great usagatine fur all kinds of 1 is sup. posed to be the bed of the Tiber. We may be sure that *hes the Romans lay under the apprehension of seeing their city sacked by a barbarous enemy, as they have done more than once, that they would take care to bestow such of their riches this way as could best bear the water, besides what the insolence of a brutish roaspirsur may be supposed to have cuatributed, who hail an ambition to waste and destroy all the beauties of so celebrat e d a ci ty. I nee d t „,i ment i on the old coassauss sewer of Rome, which ran front all parts of the town with the current and violence of an ordinary river; nor the frequent inundations of the Tiber, which may have swept sway many of the ornaments of its hanks; nor the se veral statues that the Romans themselves sung into it, when they would revenge themselves oar the memory of an ill vai nest, a dead tyrant, or a discarded favourite. At Rome they have so general an opinion of the riches of this river, that the Jews had formerly proffered the Pope to cleanse it, so they might have, fur their pains, what ilit y fituud in the bosom of it. I have seen the valley wear POlll, Alum., which they proposed to fashion into a new channel fur it, till they desired the old for its reception. The Pope, however, would not comply with the proposal, as less Mg the heats might advance too far before they had finished their work, and produce • pestilence among his people; though I don't are why sorb a design might lOW be melded now with as little doubter as in Angustues time, were there us many hands employed upon it. The city of Rome would derive great advantage from the undertaking, as it would nii.e the hanks and deepen the bed of the Tiber, and by CUIIIICIVICIICC free them from those frequent inundations to which they are an subject at present ; for she choose, 14 the river is observed to be narrower witbin the walls than either below or above them." Yesterday the Duchess of GIMIUCKIIITEIt •nd the Princess AUGUSTA rode uut in an open carriage, attended l,y the Countess Dowager of LIAIICOURT, iii Kew and Richmond Gardens. The statement in ea paper of Monday. that seve ral articles of searing apparel of her late Royal Highness the Princess CHARLOTTE were exhibiting at CI t, without the slightest foundation. The least reflection would be sufficieut to any thinking perpon. that no such circutustauce could possibly take place. The Marquis D'Os►toNo, the French Ambassa dor, gave a superb entertainmesit on Tuesday, to celebrate the festival of St. Louis, at his residence in Portland-place. to a large party of distingui►hed personages, amon g whom were-- The Duke Sae Carlos, the Spanish Ambassador ; the Mts. shin Ambassador ; &row Fogel, the Ambassador from the Netherlsods ; Byron Humboldt, the Pr isioian Ambassador; Count Litdolf.

ENGLISH OPERA. Tl.e comic opera of The Privateer was last night revived at this theatre. It is an alteration of Mr. CUMBERLAND'. comedy of The Brothers. some relief being given to the " heavy lightness" of the original, by the introductioss of many sweet and appropriate melodies. We were present, when it was produced • few years ago. It bad then the advantage of comprising, within the circle of its dramatis persoltee. several of the most excellent per. formers of the day—individuals who had long been honoured with the highest degree of public favour. The old theatrical amateur must not becom e gloomy when we state this—he most not, in a fit of despondency, sighing after the times which he can never see again. supreme that no ability was dis played by the performers who, All this °cease tttt t filled the placer of the Gods mid Goddesses of his antiquated idolatry. We can assure him, and we trust the declaration will not depress his spirits, that very great talent was displayed last night— talent that 'would not have disgraced the best days of the drama—talent, which will ever lie found, where judgment. on the part of the Ma nager, induces liberality on the part of the bc. But to particularise. And here, fur we would be cheerful, let us dismiss the only melancholy event of the night. We allude to the indisposition of a very amiable woman, uud a very interesting actress, Mrs. W. S. CRATTEULLY. This laxly, from an imperative sense of duty—anxious that the public should not be disappointed, und that the a:- rangements of the thdatre should tow be utter ed, appeared in the chariicter of Viuletta, though she was evidently sinking under severe illne. —She faultered greatly on her first appearance. and attempted, in vain, to address the audi ence. Her situation increased her nadisposi. riots, and she could not speak. Mr. BARTLEY apologiSed. He entreated the indulgence of the audience for the fair sufferer, observing, very justly, that " her anxiety to perform her duly had ex ceeded her prudential feelings, in appearing before the public while so dreadfully oppressed by ilk 'less." We feel a little angry ourselves at her te merity—for we know not how long lier exertions last night may deprive us of the pleasure of wit ileasing her talents. We sincerely hope, how ever, that her recovery will be very speedy.— The character in which she appeared iv of a ow bicholy nature—it dors not require, generally, soy strong exertions—and the lassitude comae quent on illness, did not ill beeo n ae ports of it. We are convinced, when Mrs. W. S. CHAT TWAY has recovered her health and streegth, that, in her hoods, Violeta will he a most interesting character. It is unfair to separate wife and husband—and, as Mrs. W. S. CRATTERLEY list given us some pain, it is just that her lord, who personated " the wrathful Dove," Sir Benja min. should administer a illitAtlerspaleLarreh.dilz cc this e su c c eeded ficult part, Mr. W. S. CT Mr. LOVEGROVE, and we congratulate him on the issue of his adventure. We call it • difficult part, because, after the victory has been obtained over Lady Dove, many players have supposed that Sir Benjamin should, in good earnest. set up for a hero, without a particle of fear ur folly about him. Mr. W. S. CHATTERI.Ey entered fairly into the character—and, in swaggering about—the " burly burly being done"—made Sir Benjamin appear, though somewhat less mean, every whit as ridiculous as before. The whole of the scene, commencing with his attack on Young Betfleld, and ending with the defeat of Lady Dore. was richly comic, and was loudly applauded. The part of Captain Iron sides was assumed by Mr. HARLEY. It was a per formance of sterling merit. He depicted the rough. honest, open character of the tar, with great suc cess—mid set off, with appropriate tones, looks, and gestures. the blunt sarcasm, and good-siatured effusions, of the upright-hearted veteran. He saug with great humour, and was honoured by two entores. One of the songs thus encored, in which, before the rhyme is completed, an opportunity a given ( sod the vulgar never lose it) of filling up the hiatus somewhat indecently, we were sorry to find perpetuated, as it formerly occasioued some unpleasant feelings. Mr. PEARMAN, as Young Beyfeld, sang very tastefully. A duet, with Miss KSLLY, was highly honourable to the vo cal powers of each. The character of Sophie. sustained by Miss KELLY, is somewhat of a owns d, script. As Faisfiff says of Dome Quickly, it is " neither fish nor flesh—a man doesn't know where to have it." It is half sun-shine, half ram. Now rising to the highest flow of spirit, and anon ebb ing almost to the lowest point of melancholy. Muse Ket.wir's powers are, however, of that versatile na ture, that she can either raise or depress our feelings, as the scene in which she appears is lively or sad. She played with her accustomed excellence, suit left it " a moot point" with some of the vs:dirtier, whether she should confine herself to the merry or serious scene. Fur our parts, we hope she will nut declare exclusively in favour of the one or the other —but that-- " Equal to boll", sad acted fur either ►he will continue to pay her respects alternately to the sister Muses. She sang with simplicity and expressiow. We were particularly struck with the song " Say what is love," the words adapted to the old air," Moss there wale," which she executed !Dena tifully. Mrs. GROVE, as the termagant Lady Mee, was sufficiently rude and sioleilt—her when thrust from her •• high estate," ass pv poitionately low and few g. The part ,of Goodwin was given to Mr. J. IsAscs. played it well—sand proved, that II apparently humble, may be raised into caosi.ler ation, by a feeling and sensible performance. As A singer, the capabilities of Mr. IssAcs aft great.
