CABINET QUARREL. EARL. OF CAMDEN'S STATEMENT. " As it may be inferred, from a statement which has ap peared in the Public Papers, that Lord Camden withliiild from Lord C.iptlereagh a communication which he had been desired to make to him, it is necessary that it should be understood, that however Mr Canning might have con ceived the communication alluded to, to have been made to Lord Camden, it was utter stated to Lord Camden, that the rommunicatim was made at thi , desire of Mr. Canning; and, so far from Lord Camden hart .g been authorilicil to make the communication to Lord Castlereagh, be was absolntely restricted from so doing. " As it may also be inferred that Lord Camden was ex peeled to prepare Lard Cantlereagh'e mold for any proposed change, it is necessary that it should be understood, that Lord Camden never engaged to communicate to Lord:Cu tlercagh any circumstances respecttug it, before the termina tion of the Expedition." The shove being the Earl of Camden's atate went, it beet:lines nece,s.iry to re-publish such parts of Mr. Canning's statement as relate to his Lord ship. EXTRACTS FRoM MR. CANNING'S STATEMENT. With respect to the concealment, Mr Canning, sums short time previous to the date of Lord Csatlermigli's letter, without the smallest suspicion of the existence of any 'Dieti tian' on the put of Lord Castlereagh to make ',kb an ap pall to Mr Canning an that letter contassia,but upon informa tion that sine rosappreh^nsion did exist as to Mr Cainaing's supposed concurrence to the reserve which bad been practised towards Lori Cutlereagh, transmitted to sae of bud Castle reagh's wort ratiouste fiterade, to be communicated whenever he might think proper, the Copy of a Letter addressed by Mr. Canning to the Duke of Portional in the month of July, in which Mr. Canning ompiests, " an justice to himself, that it may be remembered, wk.:neve hereafter this coocesdnient shall be alleged (ss be doubts not that it will) apiarist lore, as ant art of injustice tonuals Lord Castlereagh, that it did sot orlgniate in his suggestion ;—that, so far from desiring it, lie conceiver', however errnneuudy, Lord Camaro, to be the sore mode of eawountiration to Lord Casi,vecgh ; and that, tap to a a cry to , s period, he believed such cosamouagatiou to have been utualiy made." The copy of this letter, and the Doke of Portland's an-. seer to it, " acknowledging Mr. Canning 's repealed remota 'trances against the emmealrnent." are still is the peso quasi .if Lord Ctutir , eagi'sfrieort " lie en...mews':torn to Lord Camden, to who Is th . ..s letter Weis, was made on the Oath of April, with Mr otaiing's knowledge, and at his particular desire.

Mr. Canning's charge, Earl Camden a answer, and Mr. Canning's reply, are now before the public. It is curious to hnd the Right flonourahl, Gentle man, no remarkable for the length of his epistles, so extremely laconic upon the present occasion. There is a wilful suppression in his charge, and his reply amounts to nothing more than a Inure vague insinuation. ‘Ve can assure Mr. Canning, that his reply has not mended his case, and that his charac ter demands a full, complete, and candid disclo sure, of every circumstance, directly,tor indirectly, connected with the removal of Lord Castlereagh. Captain A t.i.an, of the .13d Re.pment of Dra goons, who was returned initsio 4 at the bottle of Talavera, has since joined his Regiment.

CENTLIVRE'S hvily comedy. The Welder, was performed here last night, cad presented :titer.. EDWIN in the favourite part of Vsulante. Iliad we not been taught to look to it as one of her hest characters, we would have been more pleased with • her perfnrinauce: She displayed ranch goesl sense, and a just concept:on of the author; but the por trait, in conic points, wanted all that exquisite delicacy and tiaisli of which it is intsceptmle.— Her happiest scenes were those, in which she re. sante the jealousy of Fehr, and rallies him on that foible, when she finds Colored Briton has e4sped from the bedchamber. In the fourth act she was much disconcerted, by a tumult occasioned by the removal of a very unruly gentleman from the house. Site was obliged to retire three times bet Ore perfect order was restored. The circumstance, perhaps; does not deserve notice. but fur its novelty ;as there is scarcely an iostance of the p-rfect order nod de corum that distinguish this house, being violated.— Mr. Hussext. is an useful arid deserving actor, but non eelix is greatly above his powers. He was, how. er, respectable iu the part. Miss MELLON and Mr. MATNeWI were admirable in nom and Lirreedo. Th., Comedy was well received, and the House tilled with an elegant audience. COVEN 7'-GARDEN THE4TRE. The fading opposition at length g.ves perceptible symptoms of decoy, and we have to I.lOlCt the moat quiet night since the opening of the theatre. MegrAaat of Venice wan got up with its usual excellence, and, for nearly four acts, an at tentive audience were delighted with the undisturb ed enjoyment of rase of the richest pieces on the British stage. Cooke was in fervent spirits, and gave a most animated delineation of the various passions which agitate the breast of the diabolical Shylock. By the entrance of the hull-price visitors, the tranquillity which had previonsty reigned wasaotne what disturbed, but by no means to -o great a de, gree as on former nights. Mmy parts of the 4th act were audible, nod, dormg the sth, the noise, though sufficient to druiv7, the voices of the per formers, was not OEIII4 Stunning nature which, on preceding occastons, has " rent the ears of the groundlings." The only alteration 1.1 the cam, of the characters wits the substitution of Stininotii for Nlstutteti, in I.4uncelot Goebo; and though his acting was excellent, yet it fell short of the rich Co. louring we have seen given to the part by his pre decessor. After the malcontents had recreated their cou rage, and reassur! , l themselves, by a few prelimi nary coughs and hems. they mustered resolution enough, during the filth *et, to hoist a few pla cards. This was the signal fir shouts and hellow jugs; but they were neither general, nor of long duration. Upon the whole, therefore, we have to repeat, that, till the dropping of the eurtain, this was by far the most quiet night that has yet prayed, and the opposition evineed; more than on any for mer occasion, that their strength was gene—their resources decayed. Indeed they have nothing now of novelty or invention to recommend them to the notice which has anfortunately been token of them too much, and, with the vanity which fed their ardour for exploit, will their exertions end. Ertween the play and - farce, a cenditate for fame appeared in the upper boxes, and endeavoured, by his performance on the German flute, to obtain that applause of which he was ambitious. He was attended to, for some moments, while he played the Irish air of Coolum ; but his auditory reflecting thid they only lost time by attending to him, set up a yell. in which his melody was completely drowned. On the rising of the curtain, the half-price men put forth all their strength, but though it was suf ficient to prevent a word of the afterpiece from be ing heard, it was mach weaker than on the night before. Mr. Liston and Mr. Fawcett exerted their comic powers in vain. It was evident, however, that the opposition was a declining one; the pit was of a very sympathisiog disposition, whenever Mr. Liston datived. and, by their ludicrous movements, afforded a greater satire upon that science than this per former himself. Between the lirNt and second acts, a few placards were raised again for a moment, amid a tumult of a much more mixed and unfa vourable nature than inlaid. One of them was Holtz into a front box, where it was torn by it Gen tleman, an act which the petite" resented, by hoot ing at the destroyer for the remainder of the even- Mg. A short while after this placard met with its fate, a few more were am% among the Ladies* where the reception w a s ki n d e r ; th e f a i r - ones did not hesitate to take the vazrant papers under their protection ; they p ed them to the front of the lames, to the delight of the half-price into, anal re ceived, in return for their charity to a dedining, bindle's party, a howl of discordant gratitude.— Between the two acts, they sang God save the King! ha , not with the usual noise. Either from the operation of reason, or from the want of money. or want of lungs, the opposition is perceptibly de and Taste may look forward, to no remote period, for the renewal of her reign, after so long an interregeant. After the curtain dropped, the pitires luudly huzzed, and jumped oat the seats. •I'liev theii seated themselves, and sang God rare the King ! While se employed, the rational part of the andie, R;e withdrew from the pit, which did not appear to please the half-price men, as it left them more open to be observed. Their attention was ti.eu at tracted by a person in the box where the females had made themselves so conspicuous, in pinning op placards. When silence was obtained. he propos ed their giving three cheers for their feinale advo cate% which was acceded to, and the females left the box, highly gratified. There were three cheers called for Mrs. Clarke, but it did not succeed. • There were several placards hoisted in the pit. be tween the Play anal Farce ; the most conspicuous we re as follow :-- " Cook &sell!, our pile, " Keintile nor contempt." A gibbet, will' a azure in black bugle( en it, and ander it the inscription "fin extortion." _ ...... " Rooms to let, with every convenience, inquire at the Nee, in Chandos.street."
