Sir W. DE CfLESPIGNY, P.G.M. :fon Hampshire, was in the Chair.—When the cloth was' re rntived, " Non Arobis Donzilte" was sublimely sung by Sir G. Smart, Messrs.l'errail, tvani, Collyer, Jolly, Parry, )Field, Leete, Taylor, and Bellamy.—" The King" was ;liven with three tithes three and long continued applause, when " God save the King" Was extremely well sung by the professional singers, that sweet little warbler, young Smith, singing the third stanza. Atter many loyal and appropriate toasts were given, followed by some charming glees, Sir G. Smart presid ing at the piano -forte, ," The health of his Royal Highness • the Most Worshipful Grand Master" was drank with every possible mark of respect and fraternal regard.—ln returning thanks, his Royal Highness observed, that in this Land of LibertY; Freemasonry flourished under the protection of the King, who was for many years the Grand Master, and now the Patron of the Order. The Heir Presumptive to the Crown too, was about to be installed as Master of the Prince of Wales's Lodge, " Thus (observed his Royal Highness) the Royal Family avow to the world the estimation in which they hold the Craft. Indeed, before a man can be initiated into the mysteries of Masonry he must subscribe to the leading charac teristics of its constitution, viz. :—Loyalty, Bralastly Love, and Benevolence. In some countries, perhaps, disaffected Ptrsons took advantage of Masonic Lodges, but here, pursuing the principles, which we do, nothing wrong can take place ; and were it ever made known to me, that politics were ever in troduced into any Lodge, or that any thing tending to injure the State were cherished, I would immediately denounce it, and hand its name to Government." His Royal Highness sat down amid loud cheering, the Ladies in the gallery waving their handkerchiefs.—Parry's new masonic glee, called " Hail to the Craft," was sung in a moat effective manner. The fol lowing linett,'Cintimingly sung 1:1--Mtn- Bellamy, were'particti.: larly applauded : ing a war by her interference (or taking the part of the Spaniards) which keeps up the funds until after the Speech of our own Sovereign on next 'rues. day. Up to this hour the Market appears very heavy, and no real prices can be given within -I- per cent., as they differ every moment. The public are so anxious for the success of the Spaniards that three buzzas were given at the Stock Exchange on the first opening of the Mur. ket. A report prevails that there is a great bustle at the Victualing Office, and it is expected that a Fleet of Observation will be sent to the Mediterranean. FOREIGN MARKET.—A great deal was doing in Spanish Bonds this morning, which fluctuated almost every moment in their prices. One o'Clock.—All the Funds are lower within this half hour, with a gloomy Market : Consols are 751, Spanish Bonds ST. The SPEECH of the KING of FRANCE, though it does not positively announce War, is more explicit as an indication of hostilities than we expected. His MAJESTY says, ‘i If War is ine vitable, I will use all my endeavours to narrow its limits, and to shorten its duration." it might be inferred from this passage, therefore, that there is still some ground of hope for the preservation of peace : but we confess, that, for our own part, we can no longer indulge in gratifying an ticipations.—War,—inevitable War,—is at length obviously at hand ! The French Gov.ernment may be quite sincere in the expression of a desire to narrow the limits ..... _ and to shorten the duration of the great calamity which they are about to originate in Spain ; but the extent of its ravages depends upon circum. stances over which France has no con troul. The torch once applied to the combustible materials with which Europe (including France herself ' ) is filled, it may be found that the authors of the conflagration do not possess the power of putting , a o period to its progress. The war which is about to commence is avowedly, even on the part of France, a war of Kings against theis, people ; for the Speech of Louts XVIII. echoes, the demand of the Verona Circular for the restoration of the King of SPAIN to absolute power, and by impe ratively requiring that " FErtnlNAxn VII. be free to give to his people institutions which they cannot hold but from him," explicitly recognizes a principle equally repugnant to political justice and to the common sense of mankind ,—to the lessons of experience, and to the glorious ex ample of the introduction of rational freedom Into human society by the formation of the Eng lish Constitution. It is against this dangerous and destructive principle, as well as against the particularact of flagi tious aggression now meditated against Spain, that England ought to combat with all her energies. If there be one political maxim more founded in truth and in justice than another, it is this, that the relations between the Governors and the Governed are the result of an implied compact for their mutual advantage, but more particularly for the benefit and security of the latter ; and, that that understood compact is sub ject to such modifications as the progress of society and the unequivocal expression of the public will may require. It is from the recognition and the practical adoption of that maxim, that the British Empire is the most prosperous, and the British Crown the most splendid as well as the most secure, in the world ; and it must be by adherence to that maxim, if the Throne of Great Britain shall re main unshaken, long after the period at which arbitrary Governments are probably destined to be overthrown. It is most remarkable that the King of F4ANCE, after having adverted to the Spanish question, says, " I am bound to lay before you the state of our Foreign Ajfairi,"—though his MAJESTY no where alludes to his relations either with Great Britain, or with any other Power whatever all preceding Addresses to the Chambers, his MAJESTY has expressed his happiness at - being able to announce the assurances of the pacific and friendly dispositions which he had received from other states. On the present great occasion, when those pacific assurances are of the most importance, the customary armuncia• tion of their having been received, is withheld ! It is impossible to believe that this extraordinary omission is the effect of accident. The friendly dispositions of, Austria, Russia, and Prussia, are known. How encouraging would it have been to the war party in France—how fatal to the hopes of the Constitutionalists in Spain, if Louts XVIII. could have proclaimed, at this momentous crisis, that he was also supported by the good wishes of England ! To have named the three Great Continental Powers, without including England in the list of his friends and allies, would have only been the more remarkable and suspicious ; and therefore, as it appears to us, in laying before - the Chambers " the state of his foreign, eairr," the King of FRANCE passes over, unno ticed, his connections with the whole world, and confines his observations to that one country, his connection with which he has broken, and which he is about to attack It will depend now upon the Spaniards them selves whether Great Britain is to employ her force in their favour. If their resistance be of such a nature as to prove that the majority of the nation are resolved to maintain their independence and the integrity of their Constitution, England will be found ready to assist them. If, on the other hand, the French Army should be well received, or if its force be swelled by increasing bodies of insurgents, it will be evident that the nation has deserted its own cause, and that all endeavours to arrest its downfal would therefore be una vailing. If the majority of the Spaniards are true to themselves, they have nothing to fear from an invading army of a hundred thousand men. They are sure of the immediate support of Portugal, and of the eventual aid of Eng laud, if their own exertions shall be found to de serve it. W e have only a few words to add on the R6yai document ritich threatens .the world with so many evils. The Report of the Portuguese Foreign Minister, as our Readers know, stated that France had given reiterated, assurances, that her Army of Observation was not to pass the Pyrennees, unless the French, terri tory was previously violated by the Spaniards ! If France declares war, therefore, bad faith towards Portugal will be superadded to her unprincipled violence against Spain. It is true, that the Speech of the King of FRANCL: will probably induce the Spanish Government to issue an i►nmediate Declaration of War, in order that Spain may have the advantage of directing letters of marque against the commerce of France before her mercantile interest has had time to avoid the approaching danger. Still, the world will see that the responsibility of commencing hostilities really belongs to France. FRENCH FUNVS.—JAN. 28. Five per Cents. Lowest 75 f. 50 c. Highest Closed at 76 f. 70 c.

M r. JOOHIN, attached to the English Embassy, arrived yesterday at Bayonne, arid proceeded immediately for Paris; it is said he is the bearer of an important mission. On the 16th, Mr. JOCUIN met Lord F. SOMERSET at Vittoria, who was hastening likewise with an important mission to the Spanish Government. " The letters from Saragossa of the 11th say, that tranquillity is perfectly restored there, and that the factious who appeared before it on the bth, had gone to Borja and Taragona, which they had taken possession' of, doubtless with the intention of passing the Ebro at Tudela io enter Navarre." lIANANNAH.—A denunciation was lodged with the Governor a few days ago, of a conspiracy being formed by some natives, to proclaim the Independence of the Island of Cuba. But Colo. net Kinderland treated it with contempt, be. cause it appeared to be without foundation.— The rumour of this conspiracy, however, caused at first some alarm, but that had dis, appeared. The election for Deputies to the Cortes of Spain, will begin on the lst' of next month, and a spirit of rivalry between the Na tives and the Europeans, already manifests itself; nevertheless, the better class of either party, linked by the strong ties of interest, of self-pre- servation, of old habit, and it may be added, of mutual respect, form a compact mass, not easily to be shaken.

THOMAS PAINE.---A Dinner, to commemorate TI& BIRTH of this wretch—the most worthless and mischievous of mankind, took place yester day at the Assembly Rooms, Brewer-street.--A feast to congratulate the world on his death would have been more appropriate, if it were not better that his works should sink into oblivion, and his memory be marked with universal abhorrence.— The statue of this moral monster, whose person was as hideous as his labours were flagitious, was exhibited on the occasion ; and, after his "memory" was given as one of the toasts, it was followed by " The Age of Reason"—a mass of Horrid blasphemy, and " The Rights of Man"— specious in theory, but wholly impracticable in civilized society. It is surprising that the rotten bones of the miscreant wore not added to-core plete the, disgusting feast of Faction. Yesterday, at half past two o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, Down ing -street, which sat in deliberation till a quarter past five.

ALLEGED MURDER OF ANT INFANT.--011 Tues• day evening, at a tate hour, Margaret Meaney, a young woman, apparently about 2fi years of age, was brought to how-street, before THOMAS HALLS, Esq. by Limbrick and Bond,jusi. two of the officers and charged on suspicion of the wilful murder of her infant child, in the month of June last. Juliet Meaney, her mother,was also charged on suspicion of being accessary to the crime. They lived at the time mentioned at No. 14, Gee's-court, Oxford strekit. After a long investigation, Mrs. Meaney was discharged, and her daughter was remanded until Saturday next, THE THEATRES. t~;..0 DRURY•LANE.—We last night bad an oppor tunity of again attending to the representation of Cymbek'ne at this Theatre, and as Mr. KEAN' is of course more settled in the character of Post humus, we are better able to judge of his per formance, which we by no means consider as the most fortunate of his exertions.—ln the scenes lie was much too tame, wher?the itn pmanp tuous vanity of Itschimo should havedrawn forth energy of resentment. In those which fol lowed his conviction of his wife's disloyalty .there were some starts of passion, but as they burst forth during a general ';,oldness of manner, they appeared too alififftil' and, were not calculated t o excite -sywniiy. On ath . the whole, we conceive that t tilie a lt 4, by no means fitted to draw „hi's peculiar leorte into action. We were suritye ti filyt'i fantastic finery of his d ress ,.. which NWT) 'Ottch gaudy glitter that he appeared like a silner,fish. By the way there was a great absurdity iu use of this dress, for having worn ilesOirßritish Court he app eare d i n i t aftervritsf Littißome ; yet when Phanio is to prq,iii4eif ttrilimior Oaten, he says, " I have, my Lord, at mirladging, the same suit he wore when he took leave of my lady and mistress." The question then is—how came that identical dress back from Rome ?--- Again, when Pos thymus subdues • lachirno in the fighting scene, he appears in his" Italian weeds," yet lachimo sayo that conscience overwhelmed him, or he. could , n4-havva4Sen: aubdued.in:bisiso-, fessiori by a cart, a very drudge of Naturo's."--- These are gross improprieties. Mr. KEAN wholly omitted. the fine soliloquy, after he had been de ceived by lachimo, though it happily suited his peculiar powers; and yet his violence when the treachery of lachimo is discovered, proved that he was likely to appear to chief advantage in the soliloquy which he omitted. We turn to a more agreeable subject, the Imogen of Mrs. W. Wm., which, though her first appearance in the character, was supported by admirable feeling and judgment. We beg again to enter our pro test against the admission of the half-price vi sitors at nine o'clock, instead of on the conclu sion of the third act, as the interest of the last scene in that act is wholly disturbed by the noise of their entrance. We have seen Mr. YOUNG to more advantage in lachinzo. He was too much wanting in smoothness and subtlety.—There was a numerous audience. COVENT.G muntc---- The alterations and ornis sions which have taken place in the new Play of Nigel have so much improved the general inte rest of the piece that it last night experienced ts favourable reception altogether, which, indeed, may well be accounted for by the merit of the acting and the splendour of the scenery.'

FALMOUTH, JAN. 28.—Wind S.—Arrived the Dutch schooner Constance, Tupper, from Messina for Antwerp, with part of her cargo thrown overboard, and much damaged, having been on shore on the Owen. A few weeks ago, Mrs. Stara:N . the daughter 'of a respectable independent gentleman, and the wife of a re spectable druggist in Chorlton-row, to whom she had been ntar ned but a short time, went into the shop of Mr. Watts, I inen.dra per, in Deansgate, under pretence of buying l ace . Whibi t atten d ing to her, Air. Watts missed apiece, and t e l t con fid ent that she had secre ted it. Ile endeavoured to look into a small basket she had in her hand, but could not effect his wish. However, his suspicions were so well confirmed by her manner, that be took the desperate resolution of detaining a woman of hulyelike ap. pearanee. ler basket was searched, and the late (value about SI.) was found in it. Thus publlicy detected, Air. Watts had no alternative but that of prosecution. She was carried before the Magistrates_ who in consideration of her family, admitted her to bail. Last Thursday she surrendered haself and was put to the bar, where she pleaded guilty. air. Armetrong, then, cm the part of the prosecution, having detailed the Ames. al the case, and the necessity which ,1l r. Watts had to brine it forward, from depredations of a similar kind having been often committed in his shop, that having learned the respectable connexions of the prisoner, and witnessed her contrition, he wished to recommend her to the mercy of the Court. Mr. Williams, who had been retained on the part ref the prisoner, said that the Learned Counsel for the prosectitinn had anticipated him in what he had to say : he should only sad te hies statement of the prison er ' s connex i ons , that they were all plunged into the deepest distress by her unhappy error.

After a short coneultatien on the part of the Bench, the Chairman said, that the Court had considered the case, which was similar to four er• fitra which had come before him since he had been Chairman,utal he did not see that he could justly pass a ditreren t or, more lenient sentence in this, than in the cases he had alluded to : since he saw nothing like extenuation in the conduct of the prisentr. A desire to appear above her real situation in life , by dressing' finely, had evulently induced her to steal the lace. To steal , so light an article as valuable lace, was a critrie easily atcom. plished ; and he knew that many drapers in this town yearly suffered to a considerable amount by depreciations of this toad. The Court certainly took into consideration the youth of the prisoner, but 0011 were obliged to keep in view the duty twirl: to the public : its sentence therefore was, that " she be itnprt. soned anti kept to bard labour, in the House of Corvette/1, far the space of six months."
