On the ind lust several deputations front the provinces were introduced to the Emperor of Austria, at the Imperial Palace at Vienna, when his Mn. jesty, surrounded by his Officers of State, the Royal Family, eke. addressed theta in a speech, expressing his approbation of their conduct. The address tout • tile following passage:—" We have supported with firmness and unshaken courage, the weight of twenty years of a disastrous war. They are passed. Theevil istumilidated in its root." The rsil here alluded to is the conscription, the system of fox AriaTE, which made every Frenchman a soldier, and all France a camp. The Emperor of Alia - rats, it thus appears, can reflect with pleasure upon the annihilation of that system, and with it the power of BON•PARTE, its root.

The - historical Romance of Richard Czar de Lion was last night raptured, and attr a cted, consi dering the advanced period of the season, n ►•ery numerous audience. This opera is borrowed from the French. In the original, Blonde!, not Matilda, is the principal character. The music is by Gar, Inv, whose obsequies were. lately so honourably attended in the neighbourhood of Pads. The music Isis been adapted by SlonAcE and SHIELD, for out theatre. The two principal characters, Matilda and Richard, were excellently supported by Miss STEPHENS Htid Mr. SINCLAIR. in the dance which occurs in the seco►wd act, Madame CAROLINE PAVE, from the Open► at Paris, made her first appearance, in a Pas Seal. That which was allotted to her ~he executed with much ease ; and, from the general style of her dancing, which is uncommonly free, hold, and vigorous, we think she is, at least, equal to any of the importations, in this lice, which we have rece►►tly reece►ved from France. On Wednesday themagnificent dinner, so long in preparation, war given by IVIIITE'S Club to the il lustrious ‘VELLINGTON and the Army. All the nr rautgements were admirable. The room selected for this entertainment was the temporary one in Budigton gardens, lately appropriated for dancing in. At eight o'clock 300 personages took their seats, with the Duke of You in the chair, having on his right the Duke of WELLINGTON, on his left the Duke of RICHMOND. The banquet was truly sumptuous; it did great credit to Mr. WtLt.'s, of the Tlnithed-house. Yesterday the Gentlemen forming the St. James's corps of Volunteers had a farewell dinner together, at the Freemasons' Tavern, previous to the dig hint hug of the corps; Lord AMHERST, their Colo nel in the Chair—upon which occasion th e y mus .. tored near 300. Every thing was served up in the first style. It was proposed, and agreed, to have the festival annually. We understand that the well-known philnnthro pist, JAMES NVEaa, Esq. has been very recently traversing' the counties of Kent, Susses, Surrey, and Middlesex, as well as ninny other remote parts of England, indiscriminately relieving the distresses of both young and old. Every place that he visit ed, the widow and the orphan partook of his bounty, fir which they showered hleuings on his head, and indeed not without reason, as such universal bene volence diffused by an individual is not upon re cord. In the course of the lust severe winter he distributed upwards of 20,000/. to the widows and orphans of our brave soldiers and sailors who glo riously fell iu the cause of their King and Country. Ili: goodness of heart did not stop there, us it is fully ascertained, that within the last three years he has educated, clothed, and apprenticed upwards of tint) poor children, both wale and female, most of them orphans ; and in the course of the last month he has relieved upwards of three thousand distressed persons, who followed him front town to town. We now hear that lie is about to embark immediately for the Contiuent. NAV.IL EXPALPIRDIN,I(44 Great activity has been lately ol.served in the correspoudence between the Admiralty and the grand fleet in the Serpentine. It wax reported that* the enemy had coatriveil to introduee the torpedo into it, and the whole would be blown n ' without a monic.:lt's notice. We are happy, how ever, to state, that this, and many other rumours threateuing the ruin of the country, are all ersti tate of foundation. Cause of alarm there e er t k i n l y is, bat it is quite the reverse of every thin rested in these idle rumours. It appears that one of the Maids of Honour, on consulting the weather glass, has given it as her decided opinion that th e pre r ent fine weather will lest for a mouth to come, awl this opinion is corroborated by experience, which hityin7 proved that the F. tnperor of Hussy A, ill his late visit ta , thi. con ,itry, beoa4ht owa " ffiz,ht. Gil climate" along with him, it fellows, that his Loh e rash ._ having left this country, has cari , d it ha-.c. anti left us to a perfect state of calm alai tramieillity. Should this oirservatiou on the ;eppr auc h„, in;.; weather prove correct, it is obvious that it mug totally defeat all the operations of the Grand Fleet in the Serpentine. Without wind, they l'3ll du uothing. They 1111111G1 tack, sail, or praetife sissy manoeuvre whatever. There they inn,t ha motionless, like the dead cats and dogs, tee ee l n births they have sitemeled. A letter, co.it.e!:ii.z sa occotost of this difficulty, thus 5a , A .:64, 11 Iv ticipated by the Maid of Honour, was on 'ritesl ; dispatched from Windsor by a hobby groom, and immediately taken into consideration. After the breaking up of the Board, communication hs• telegraph was held, duri g two hours, a itli the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, the lairtieu. !ars of which hate not transpired ; but it is su . posed thut the Royal Astronomer hays been mu stilted upon this subject, and that his' mart coafirins the opinion of the Maid of Moran. lit Windsor. We forgot to notice, that the Mid of I o nou r not only consulted the weather glass, but the Aloon, alias Diana, the Goddess of Chaqity, tual the natural patroness of all Maids of Honour; slid that the ?loon and the weather-glass are perfectly unanimous upon the question. The couelu-iidi then, being, that we are to be visited with A nn rn6 of fine, fair, calm weather, and this miturn! the elements being unfavourable to a s•a fi A lit, it is proposed to have recourse to art, to supply t h e defieien:•p of nature—the Prince Regent lain t! rt. soiled to have a breere, if not a good strong wind, mid a sea fight, cost what it may. In this extremity, the Chancellor of the Ezell- Auer has been applied to, a report having gel:e at , road that the Right Hon. Gentleman could rase .the wind; but he declared that he has exhamtul his whole 'And: in trade, and had not a single pt if remaining. It was next suggested, that the Admiral of tl e fleet himself, on board the Redpole, could t:o something in that way; but his Lordship prott-ls he is so completely exhausted with watchieg 11. e royal and imperial foreign sail, lately cruising in this quarter, lie is run entire(' out of Disappointed here, the Agents of Govenimeot rq - plied to the Prime Minister, the Earl of Liverrocl. They had heard a report that his Lordship wog hi possession of a huge pair of bellows, well applied, would be able to blow up the Serpentine, and produce a terrible roar. His Lordship received the Deputation with fill the urbanity of a great Statesman, but latuentid that he could not gratify the Royal wish, his Loa!- ship not having any bellows, but those which blid been in the family for several years. On inquiry, his Lordship's answer was found perfectly corm t. and that the report of his having got un enormous pair of bellows, originated in a casual observatioa by a gentleman, who happened to be in the Hotee of Peers when his Lordship lately made a speecli, eulogising the Treaty with France. In this extremity, recourse was had to 3rr. Croker. The Learned Gentleman said, as a poet, he, of course, dealt largely in, fiction, and would produce a sham fight, with pleasure, at the shoe - est notice. But, iu reply, he was told, this not du: it must be a true Ntsuntachia—a raid fight. The Learned Gentleman then su:A,s•- ed, that, in such case, a quo:tans 'slid/ of iridi whiskey thrown into the Serpentine, care beii:g taken to have a proper number of high seainea us board, might answer the purpose; he had known this plan resorted to frequently in Ireland, and never found that it failed of success. To this it was ob jected, that such a mixture might lead to drunker ness, and destroy the discipline of the Fleet, and that nothing short of a real proper triad wou!d a: swer the hopes and expectations of the Projector. To attain this object, Mr. Croker has accordiogly RI about it with all his might—and those be,t acquainted with his ingenuity flatter themselvti that he will not labour in vain.—A country schoolmaster has suggested to him the story of Ulysses, who kept all the winds in a bag. awl to find out that bag is now the object of his most diligent researein Yesterday he was seen in the petty bag office in the Court of Chancery, but the whole petty hag would not contain wind enough to fill a single sail. What other bags may be in that quarter, of which the Learned Gentleman may have been in search, it is impossible to form any conjecture. hid!, The p a ver the gni in our I J;:muari odes of both, visitatio vosive that the the ittti-, hanks o this dri .4:rrattio liv ,ihu~.l t thc inelt “ u, 0.1 liau ~ +~ a'.l 'par ever. ter hive lot, the pill take t p' t airorai Ltsc ; : .t o uti t enth, I,- ours , 141 ,', r n Sett.: i. ill hei •tnler tl c ,•rarc 111: ft print. fi ;cove tN (aIN s;obpag• ler of sever! j iiiptot morbid flows fr.
