The Naval and :Military Armaments which Great Britain is sending out to the West Indies may be considered as sound data forher calculations; and if these are not sufficient to induce her to come to a safe, prudent, and wholesome conclusion, we trust that our own Government will not he niggardly in furnishing such further demonstra tions as shall enable her to obtain a true solution of the problem. quillity. WINDSOR, Nov. 19.—.Nis MAJESTY rode out in his phaeton this morning up the Long Walk to the Royal Cottage. The Duke of Dorset left the Castle this day.—Great preparations are at present making at the top of the Long Walk - for the placing of the Statue of his late MAJESTY, which is to be erected there in front of the Grand entrance to the Castle. It is to be fifty feet high, and will represent the late KIND pointing to the Castle. TUT KING'S COURT.--We stated yesterday, by mistake, that the Vice-President of the Board of Trade was present : whereas Mr. WA.I.LACF., who held that office, hes resigned it, and is now Master of the Mint.—There ware also present, the LORD STEWARD of the HOUSEHOLD, the MASTER Or the HORSE, Mr. ARBUTHNOT, and Mr. FREEMANTLE..—The Court broke up soon after one o'clock. Yesterday morning the Duke of S.AXE WET. MAR arrived in town from the residence of the Duchess of CLARLNCE at Bushey. One of the Poyais sufferers, in a letter to a Morning raper, says that the men of rank amongst the Mosquitos " are as ignorant as the brute creation,"--a conclusion which he seems to have principally drawn from the circumstance that, with the exception of the King, " they did not know how to take a knife and Ark in their hands !" Ile adds, that he " considers all Mos quito men very little superior to cattle," whicli is perhaps a legitimate inference from his stat4_,lnent that " the greater part of their huts have no walls or gables, only a roof, much like some shades you have seen built on wooden posts for cattle! The, Irishman would appear to have been nearly in the wrong, when he said, that " because he had been born in a stable, it did not follow that he was a horse !" Our Poyais Emigrant would have discovered strong marks of the quadruped in h's formation on being informed of his birth-place. W e have ascertained from unquestionable au thority, that Sir It. WILSON'S tender of resigna tion to the Portuguese Government of the Order of the Tower and Sword was made and lodged in the hands of the British Minister at Lisbon, Mr. WARD, three days previous to the receipt by this gentleman of the Royal Order commanding it to be taken away. The thing is now of little consequence, excepting that it confirms, beyond a shadow of doubt, what was stated in the Chro. nicle at the time, and places the conduct and cha _ racter of Sir B. WILSoN on the high ground on which we always wish to see it.—(Morning Chronicle.) thing hears the appeaTance of approaching Iran P. S. Since the above wont to press, the Com mander-in-Chief has received information that the greater part of the insurgents along the coast have laid down their arms, and tendered their submission to Mr. Edmonstone, who was deputed .to communicate with them. His Excellency is sanguine in the hope that this submission will prove final. Yesterday the Court of King's Bench granted a mandamus directing the Sheriff, the visiting Magistrates, and the Gaoler of Hertford Gaol, to admit both Mr. FENTON and Mr. JAY, at all proper times and under all proper restrictions, to the prisoner John Thurtell, in order, as his At. torneys, to prepare for his defence at his op. preaching trial for the murder of Mr. WEARE. The Magistrates-have been severely censured by the expression of public opinion in repro bation of the unusual prohibition which they had in this case pronounced against the ad mission to Thuilell of more than one profes sional adviser, a prohibition which the pro, seeding yesterday in the Court of King's Bend proves to have been illegal as well as un precedented, and prejudicial to the defence o the prisoner. The right of the prisoner to ava himself of the personal assistance of any number of legal advisers being thus established, it might be proper to inquire further, on what principle a prisoner is prevented from receiving, " at proper times and under proper restrictions," the visits of his witnesses, of his friends and family connections, and of all others with whom he might declare free dom of intercourse to be necessary to his de fence. It is true that inconvenience might occa- sionally arise, from giving to indulgence of this kind so great a latitude, and that the aim of justice might even be sometimes frustrated ; but as the aw in its humanity presumes every man to be nnocent previous to conviction,—as it gives a pri soner on his trial the benefit of every doubt as to his guilt,—as it requires not from himself an ac. knowledgraent of his crime, but on the contrary in its practical administration uniformly cautions him against any act or expression tending to criminate himself,—as it thus displays even an eagerness to give gall the advantages which are possible to the acCused, and seeks for the establishment of his crime only by evidence which is, if we may so speak, external to himself, —and, as an inno cent as well as a guilty prisoner may be seriously and even fatally injured by debarring his (dentist and other persons from access to him previous to his a rra ignment,---it appears to us that thefreedom of access is demanded by a due regard to con sistency is the principle and practice of the cri minal jurisprudence of the country, as well as by a humane, and merciful, and just consideration of the advantages which may arise from it to per sons committed for trial, and which far outweigl the contrary inconveniences to the prosecution of public justice which such access might occasio THE KING.

Letter( from Stut. Bard state that young LAS CAW has married the daughter of the rich bookseller, CCITTA. r. ') "co, We have already stated that his MAJESTY was expected at Carlton Palace, this week, preparatory to his pro ceeding to Brighton for the Christmas. The King will come to town from Windsor Castle this day,. Orders for his Majesty's reception at St. James's Palace, as well as at Carlton Palace, were yesterday given. There have been very extensive alterations and improvements proceeding at St. _James's Palace for some time; those portions of the Palace which were injured by the tire, and the other portions which covered the archway along which the public used to pass from the Park to St. James's_ street, and which abutted upon the German Chapel, have been entirely taken down. There is now a complete open space between the Palace, and the Chapel, and M a rlb oroug h House (Prince Leopold' s town residence, but it is notyet o p en to the public. Th e a l terat i ons in the Palace of St. James's are of a still more important nature. His Majesty, who is here, as well as at Windsor Castle, showing regard to the residences, manners, and plans of his revered anti venerable father, in tends that the Drawing Rooms, Courts, &c. should be held at Saint James's Palace, as was the case in the late King's reign. The fire at the Palace, and the progress of time, with their united efforts, rendered it impossible to hold Draw. ing-rooms, &c. at St. James's; and therefore the requisite repairs of the Palace afforded the opportunity of making such desirabl e a l terat i ons as to enable his Majesty to hold Drawing-rooms and Courts at this Palace; and this improve. merit of the Palace became the more desirable in consequence of the state of Buckingham House, and the contemplated tem porary removal front Carlton Palace. In St. James's Palace, four large and grand rooms have been formed that will answer all the requisite Court purposes, having entrances front the four courts of the Palace, anti separate staircases for the company to retire to their carr i ages across the garden to the " d rive " of St. James's P ar k. Th ese rooms (all the alterations having been carried on under the superintendence of the Board ot' Works) are now in a state of considerable forwardness ; and as it is expected that the King will inspect them previously to his leaving town for Brighton, orders were given accord ingly yesterday. The Yeomen of the Guard, too, received orders to be in attendance at St. James's Palace, preparatory to the King's return. The King would not have remained at Windsor Castle so long, but his Majesty had anxiously in spected extensive improvements and rep a i rs t h at are now going on there. Ther e will be forthwith a Council at Carlton Palace, to receive the Recorder's Report, to sanction the results of several Courts Martial that have recently been held, to receive the dif.. fer;:nt 1l inisters, to name the new Judges, &c. His M a j esty w ill also hold a C ourt . Th e King in a few days will leave town for the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, where his Majesty will remain over Christmas, making the Pavilion the scene of many festivities— of a juvenile ball, &c. Directions have been sent to make pre parations for the Royal reception. His Majesty, it is at pre sent expected, will remain at Brighton through January. Ile will then return to town to agree to the Speech for the opening of Parliament on the 3d of - February and his M ajes will open the Parli ament in person, should his health pernt ty it... Owing to the pulling down of the old house of Lords, on the site of which, in Cotton-garden, new Parliament-off i c es , rooms for records, roll s , A cts, & c. are now building, the Royal en trance to the House of Lords is in a very incomplete state. The King has never been to the House since the new Royal entrance anti portico for the carriage were built ; and now there is no communication between the Royal entrance and the robing room, which leads directly to the throne in the House of Lords. The continuation from the new staircase to the Painted Cham ber, which remains, and which is in direct line with the robing room, is part of the improvements now building under the daily inspection of Mr. Soane, the architect, and the Chief Surveyor of the Board of Works. These buildings, particularly what is requisite to complete the line of communication for the King between the entrance in Palace-yard and the painted chamber and robing room, will proceed with all possibl e ra pidi ty. Th ey are expected to be completed by the opening of Parliament.— The Xing, it gives us great pleasure to add, enjoys good health ; and he has of late frequently exercised In Windsor Park on horseback. ve& ..,!

To-night our vent'rous Poet dares presume To touch the story of immortal Rome, Oh ! that his Muse could with the theme aspire, And animate the scene with Roman fire : Then might he catch the Patriot's noble zeal, And cv'ry priton kindred ardour feel, Then might his heroes Laden spirit chew, Reflect like BR UT us, and like Cassurs glow: To proudest heights of ancient virtue soar, And Britain hence become like Rome of yore. Yet let us not, while Roman worth we trace, Forget the merits that our Annals grace : If we the Poesy of Rome admire, Struck by the charms of MARO'S lofty lyre, Rave we not SRAYSPEARE, Glory of the Land, Whom Nature mou/ded with all-bounteous hand Nor can the Rosctus, TuLLY gave to Fame, Eclipse in radiance GARRICK'S dealhless name. Our Patriots, RUSSELLS, SIDNEYS, claim a sigh, Who for the public welfare dar'd to die, Patriots whose names in British records live, And to our Sons their bright example give. Nor let us, while to native worth we how, Forget the patriot zeal that struggles now : Lo ! GREECE to break her galling yoke essays, And pants to realize Homeric lays, Deems life, in Freedom's cause, a glorious loss, If o'er the CRESCENT tow's the Itati.ow'o CROSS SPAIN, too, though bent by foreign force to-day, To-mOrrow may throw off th' opprobrious sway, Spread the pure flame of Liberty around, And TyrannY on Earth no more be found. Our Bard, though proud of past success, not vain Warned by your kindness, offers RoMe again. Ile bends beneath the grandeur of the theme, Yet fondly yields to Hope's alluring dream, Assur'd all here to lenity incline, And feel the moral Poet's well•known line " To err is human, to forgive divine." ' This Prologue was written at the urgent:request of the Manager, and the seven concluding lines were added by the desire of the Performer to whom it was assigned for delivery, but another was adopted ! THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANC.--Th e new Tragedy, entitled Caine Gracchtis, was represented again last night, and was attended by a very numerous audience. The performers again exerted themselves with great zeal and success, particularly Messrs. MACRCADY, TERRY, ARCHER, Mrs. W. WEST, and Mrs. Bum The Tragedy was received with great applause throughout. We have read it since the first representation, and, far from retracting a favourable opinion of its merits, we consider it altogether as highly creditable to the author, and we rejoice that such a return to the regular Drama seems to portend that mere pomp and show will not be permitted Wholly to preclude the efforts of dramatic genius. Neither Prologue nor Epilogue was repeated on this , occasion. LATENT-CARDM—The return of Mr. SIN. CLAIR to this Theatre was greeted last night on his entrance with the warmest acclamatioos by a crowded audience. The part which he performed was Prince Orlando, in the comic Opera of The Cabinet. He was a very good singer before he went to Italy for improvement, and his perform ance last night fully proved that he had not lost his time. He was encored in all his songs, and was obliged to give the favourite Po. lacca three times. lie is also evidently improved in his acting. His deportment was more easy, and was obviously governed by the feelings and sentiments of the character. li e found an admirable support in the great musical powers of Miss PATON, who was also warmly applauded, and obliged to repeat her songs. Miss TIAMMERSLEY also was very favourably noticed, and obliged to repeat one of her songs. The rest of the characters were sustained with spirit and humour by BLANcilAnn, BARTLEY. PAW. curt', and particularly Mrs. GIBBS. LARKIN was assailed with a few faint tokens of disappro. bation, which he did nut appear to deserve, for, though he is not gifted with much mu. sical power, he sang with tolerable skill, and certainly supported his character with easy humour. When FAWCETT came to announce the next play, though a respectable actor, and an established favourite of the public, he was in. suited with a claiuorous call for SrstcLAta to perform the office. He bore this illiberal treat. me:tt with respectful submission and having at length been permitted to state that, flat tering as such a requisition must be to Mr. SINCLAIR, he was so much fatigued by his performance and repeated exertions, &c. &c. that it was hoped he would be excused, &c. lt i s full time th a t t h ese i nsulting calls should be overpowered by the candour and delicacy of the Public, and that the practice also of admit. ting the hulf-price gentry before the conclusion of the third acts of Plays, and the second u Operas, should be abolished. SURREY TIIEATILE.—Th e stew piece, cane The Gamblers, was withdrawn on Tuesday nigh The French Ambassador went to the Foreign Office, yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, to have an audience of, and to transact business with, Mr. CANNING. The French Ambas sador's carriage (and the circumstance created some surprise, especially amongst the Stock Exchange Agents, who are stationed about Downing-street, to watch who go to the Foreign Office) did not wait in Downing street, but went to New Palace-yard, front ing the House of Lords, and there remained. The object of this, however, was that the Am bassador might afterwards view the Parliament Houses, the Courts of Law, Westminster flail and Abbey, &c., if time permitted. It was too dark before the French Ambassador left the Foreign Office, to curry thin plan into effect. nfifllt! DREADFUL.

POsTAIAN HonaEo.--On Tuesday evening be. twe en se ven and eight • o'clock, as one of the threepenny postmen was proceeding; along Brixton-road, with the intention of deli vering some letters in the neighbourhood, he wrs aecosted by some yilliztns who infest Brixton and its environs, and instantly. knocked down ; they then beat him in a most shameful manner about the head and body, and rifled his pockets of the con tents. Unfortunately tbr the poor fellow he had at the tin,, about him between 184 and . 141. in cash,- and .4 tpustity of halfpence in his bag; these the footpads carried away, leaving the poor fellow on the road nearly denih some time el,psett * before any person posed, when he was . curried to ti neighbouring public-house, and from thence home, where he now lies in a very bad suite.
