another part of our paper. The Answer contains a severe rebuke to the Common Council, attributing to the framers of the Address the desire of infirm-. jog the passions and misleading the judgment of the people, and of aggravating " all the difficulties with which we have to contend." The Answer must of course be considered as conveying the sen timents of the Ministers only, but we think that they have used their Sovereign somewhat too harshly in advising him to utter words so ungra cious to the first corporate body in his kingdom—a body who, in loyalty to their KING and Wee. tionate fidelity to the constitution, yield not to the members of the Cabinet themselves. The language of displeasure is always toilet' and ge !ie.:illy obscure. The present Answer possesses boils these qualities. We cannot conceive what the e 4 di fficulties" are which are noticed in the last paragraph. The Monsters have long denied that the con airy laboured under any difficulties, bat if the ',image relate only to the difficulties of the Cabinet, we know of none but such as have been created by the Ministers themselves. These no doubt are such as the language of truth and justice wiry aggravate," for they flow from the displea sure of the nation, and manifestly tend to push the present Ministers from their seats, and supply their places with men more deserving the confidence of their Sovereign, as they at present enjoy in a for higher degree the confidence of the people. Our readers have, we presume, pondered with the attention it merited upon the important piece of information communicated to the last Middlesex meeting by Mr. Pssasorr, respecting the manufac tory of seditious placards which this Learned Gen tleman has been so instrumental in discovering. He has evidence, lie affirms, to prove that a placard was actually prepared by the persons forming Franklin's gang. for the purpose of being published in the event of the passing of the fill of Pain. and Pe nalties, telling upon the people to take up arms in her MAJ MY'. defence. From the character and tone of some of the placards already published by the some gang of ruffians, we believe in the probs. bait) , and truth of Mr. PEA ROO WS communication; and this circumstance at once explain. the wicked eagerness displayed by certain writers in the Trea snry prints to impute the guilt of sedition to all who clime any sympathy for the sufferings of the Qintex. or exult in the recent defeat of her perse cutors. It sheds a light bright and irresistible upon the motives that have induced these saute libellers to represent the QUgill as the nucleus of a revoltift tionsry party. sad her cause as a banner invitingly unfurled to collect the enemies of the KING and Constitution. It *hews clearly what these persons would secretly desire to see accomplished. A pre teitce is wanted for blasting the reputation of the QUEEN, political as well as moral, and one part of the scheme having failed by the disco very of the placard-manufactory, the conspire. tors are driven to the necessity of impaling the ermines which they had anxiously hoped to have witnessed in the reality. Great would have been their triumph had they by their ingenious device of calling on the people to rise in her MAJESTY'S de fence, indoced some half-dozen simpletons to dig. turb the peace of the city, thought the blood of their victims, either under the sword of the soldier or Gil the scaffold, must have atoned for their guilt. The monsters who contemplated this dreadful result as the triumph of their machinations, call themselves loyal, and friends to the. Government! They ■re the worst of traitors to their country, and the most dangerous enemies to the Ministers they affect to serve. A good government could never require such assistance, and there is none so had as not to assume the merit of disclaiming it. We cannot conceive that the utmost exercise of controversial skill could devise an excuse for conduct so abstract edly atrocious ; it is guilt in naked deformity, equalling the worst Oust imagination can attribute to the enemy of mankind : it tempts to crime that it might lead its victims to punishment.

The fortress of Gaeta has been put into a perfect state of defence, and the means of making a formidable resistance to the threatened invasion are made the frequent subject of discussion in the Parliament. The Deputy PEPE proposed, that the iiseless luxury of the theatres should be suppressed, and the funds destined fur their maintenance applied to the enrolling of a re giment. The result of the proposition is not stated. M. GALAN rl, a luau of distinguished literary attainments, suggested that the name of the Kingdom of die Two Sieilies should be altered into the Kingdom of Italy, and that the provincisi should resume their ancient names of Sa►nniam, Campania, &c. This was objected to by a Deputy, who observed, that to lissome the name of the Kingdom of Italy would excite a suspicion that their ulterior objects eutbraced the conquest of all Italy. M. G. 4.

ST. MARG4RE7"S, WESTMINSTER. The contested election for the lectureship of S►. Margoret'o church, Westminster. terminated 11,1 Friday. in &vont- of the Rev. Mr. Sounders. There were five candidates. The candidate on the po!I next to Mr. Saunders was the Rev. Mr. Sandi lands. He hod 449 votes; Mr. &waders had 492; being a majority of 43. The choice of the parishioners does not appear to have given satisfactiou to the Rev. Dr. Fyne,. the Rector of the parish, who, in furtherance of his op. position declared his intention to refuse Mr. Saun ders the use of the pulpit. Yesterday was the first opportunity afforded Mr. Saunders to lurrforin his duty as Lecturer, in consequence of his recent elec tion, and it was rumoured that if Dr. Fyne, should persevere in his determination to withhold from him the use of the pulpit. that he. Mr. Saunders, would address the congregation from the aisle or one of the pries. This contest and entnour excited great curiosity in the vicinity, and St. Margaret's church was in consequence yesterday crowded to excess. Alter the prayers were read, expectation stood on tip-toe, and anxiety was visible throughout the whole antembly. when the Rev. Mr. Rodbar (the Curate) entered the pulpit: a storm of hisses in stantly commenced that drowned the sound of the organ. which was still tinging, and laud cries o f " Shame! shame!" were echoed from all parts of the edifice. The confusion that ensued is inde scribable : several Ladies fainted, and 11 great Dum ber of persona quitted the church. _ _ _ As soon as the uproar had somewhat abated the Rev. Mr. Rodbar proceeded in the performance of his duty. The text from which he preached was the 37th verse of the 214 chapter of the Gospel se eurding to St. Matthew. Thesermon was of gene. rah application ; but at one part where the Rev. Gentleman spoke of our Saviour rebuking under the form of a parable, the hisaes and hooting. were renewed. No further interruption was offered to the service, and at the conclusion the church clear. rot very slowly, as some persons still expected that the Rev. Mr. Saunders would address them, but that Gentleman did not make his appearance. The Rev. Mr. Saunders is said to incline to the description of preachers denominated Evangelical, and to this is ascribed the opposition of Doctor Hynes.—lf the opposition of the Rector be well founded, it is to be ele.ired that the matter should be investigated befose some competent tribunal, to prevent a recurrence of the disgraceful scene of yesterday.

On Saturday night was presented the tragedy of King Leur, in older to iiitroduce Mr. VAND4II• 1101 , P, • Gentleman of great provincial lime in his prOrtvsloll, to a London audience. The difficulties atteudnig such a performance are, span the whole, greater than attach to any of taw characters of SSA. SIMARS ; aid among them may b e eilumerated the violent and irrational alteration of the original, which thwarts SHAIESPEARE'• play in almost all its easels nil purposes, which caramel his plot. and deaden the influence of his magic poetry. The suhetitit lion, for example, of the mawkish love scours of Cordelie and Adger, for her marriage with the King of Fiance, end the remits which Row ken it, according to the original. is twit to he oecnouted for on any priuciple of good taste 6r convenience. The same may be said of Adelina', discevery, of Adger's quality before the combat, which gives Edmund the opportunity of proclairuing some wretched fustian in honour of bastardy—whereas, in the linguist, Edgar's obscurity during the coin bat, and after his fall. give* rise to a current of dialogue highly interesting in the matter of it, and as natural us the organs of speech. So far are these alterations from doing any thing for the cone pression of the original plot, so little do they relieve it. either from tediousness or improbability, that while they render it vapid and wearisome, they make it still more difficult of completion and detract from its credibility. It would be difficult to assign any good reason for the entire omission of the character of Leer's fool, whose wit plays with such Worms titre effect around the wretchedness of his Royal Mader, many of the situations and rhapsodies of the hitter character depending on it for their ex eitearient and interest. lii brief, it would be well worthy of the general spirit and good taste of the managers to contract with some clever dramatist for a new version of the play, giving him directions to restore the whole piece as fur as the ordinary time allowed for the performance would admit. Mr. VANDINIIOFF, though his part suffers from the causes which are here mentioned, had less of the interpolated trash to repeat thin most of the characters. This was most fortunate for him, as his taste is more effectually excited iu proportion to the strength mid beauty of the lan- guage. It is to the credit of his understauding that he failed in the substituted rant, and that he was quite successful in all the lofty passages of the original. His voice is of a defective character, both as to strength and depth of tone. If die great size of the theatre be taken into consideration, it will not he intinited to him as a fault. that in most of the level passages he failed to impart the fullest effect of which they are capable. He was decidedly excellent, however, in those which molt from the more dire and heartfelt enionous. His first bursts of rage were full of deep pathos,, sod his curies on Goneril were delivered with a frank ness; of ba ffl ed indignation terribly natural. His irrepressible grief broke forth in irregular volleys of groans and shattered articulation, which fell upon the feelings of the audience, without waiting for the sanction of their judgments. lie was pre. mature in the full display of mental agony, as some of the effect should have been reserved for the distress which precetles the conclusion. His voice wants more modulation ; it was too much convulsed and broken ill the stormy passages, and too weak and indifferent in the calm ones. Some of his delivery in both instances was powerful. The address to the element., and the mad con versation with Edger, may be specified as ex staples. His deportment was in strict conformity with the character throughout, end his figure and appearance were sufficiently regal and impeniog. Upon the whole, the performance was a spirited effort, abounding in proofs of sound judgment mid a refined taste, the few drawbacks upon it 'tieing the result of accident or negligence, and by nu means attributable to defective sense or accom plishments. Ile was enthusiastically applauded throughout. At the falling of the curtain Mr. C. KESIBLE came forward to announce the perform mice fur to-night, but the audience drowned his voice with cries of " Vanden/ad f!" The latter Gentleman came forward after a few minutes had elapsed ; the greater part of the pit rose, and standing on the seats sainted him with acclamatious, waving their hats and hand. kerchief.. Silence being restored, he announced King Lear for repetition, and retired amidst the same tumultuous approbation with which he had been received. The piece was very effi ciently cast. Mr. C. K EDIBLE'S fine person end lordly manner perfectly agree with the romantic fortunes of Adger. Mr. Assures figure and de. portmeut correspond with the character of the in triguing and ambitious Edmund. Mr. FAWCETT is die very being that Sueaseiteue designed in the bluff character of Kent. Mr. EGEWCON, as Weiler, Mr. Fautifir, us the mincing Oswald, were as good as coold be wished. Miss You're is a very beauti fel Cortlefia, very interesting in the dialogue, and altogether very complete, with one exception, that fur a King's daughter the posture of her figure was in general too supplicatory. Mrs. IFsucur was an nounced for the part of Regan, but being attacked with sudden indisposition, the part was ably read by Mrs. T. HILL.—The house was crowded to excess. TH2 OLYMPIC. Mr. DOWTON'S engagement has proved very productive at this theatre. His King Arthur is a finished performance, and excited uoiverail admiration.
