'the Palace is not yet in due order for his Royal Highness's reception. The weather continues intensely cold, and snow, ancle-deep in the shallowest places, where no efforts to remove it have been employed, conti nues to cover the surface of the rides and walks. A night more sharp than the lAst is not in the re collection of any person in this part of the coun try, and to-day it hiss frozen its the solar rays.

LEVIER IV. M. EDITOR-1n my last I promised to make bottle obit; vations on the present state of the Drama ; bu! the weather has been very unfavour• able for excursions to the Theatre ; a►►d dreading a roirailAr catastrophe to that of the Bunting Fa faceliously, given in a late Morning Paper, I have quietly remained near the chimney-corner, thinking over our gold old times, and looking over my collection of Dramatic Prints. From a variety of circumstances play. going is gone out of fashion, and Fashion in Lunnun is a vet y potent personage. When the Boxes were adorned with the grace and beauty of the higher classes, accompanied by dintingukhed characters and smart beaux, then the occupiers of the Pit w e re pleased by hearing, bet weep the acts, "11181 is the enchanting I) ichtss of I)." " this is the beautiful Countess of B." " there is the fascinat ing Lady L." '' that Gentleman in the star is the gallant General --," " this is the eloquent Mr. ---;" but now, alas ! if the Nobility venture to these places of public unittsonent, they are shut up in a illSlll4l pl.tee, Called a Private Box, and whether it is a Duchess or her Housekeeper no one can tell. The loss of such fashionable attraction, for, as the old proved) says, " one fool makes many," most be severely felt by the r.‘l,lnagtrs, or, per haps, I might more justly call them Mis-ruanagers of the Patent Theatres.

His finances may not be equal to compete in.splendour with the Rival Theatre ; but 1 think he has shewn more managerial tact. Of the Dramatic Pieces performed this season, and the merits and deme rits of the Pet formers, 1 will say something in my next Letter. At present 1 must observe, that great liberality has been displayed in the scenery and decorations of many of the pieces produced at Covent Garden. I feel, although a Hermit, a warm interest in the Drama, and with every lover of the art must regret the lo•s sustained by Miss O'Nest.t.'s trans formation into Mrs. Becuaa ; but 1 trust that her goud fortune will stimulate other young persons of talent to make their Essay, and by imitating her public and private conduct ensure to them selves the applause of all. But there is danger in the attempt, and the young and handsome must be most guarded—for, " Oh, popular applause, what heart of man " Is proof against thy most seducing charm " The wisest and the best feel urgent need " Of all their caution in thy gentlest gales, " But swell'd into a gust—who then, alas: " With all his canvass set, and inexpert, " And therefore heedless, can withstand thy power 0" From popular npplause flow• vanity.

We received this morning the Patis Papers of Wednesday last. There had been no meeting of the Chambers, nor had even the Committees of the Chamber of Deputies assembled. It is said, however, that there was to be a public sitting of the Chamber of Deputies this day. and that a puniet was to be presented. The following are extracts " PARIS, JAN. 12..--The King received yester day the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers. The English Ambassador gave a ball last night.

DIIESDEDT, DEC. 30.—1 t is said, that the Saxon Diet is to be assembled on the Ist of May, and that it will deliberate upon several very im portant objects. It is reported that the present system of representation Will be changed. " Moractl, JAN. 2.—The Bavarian Govern ment is occupied with a plan for establishing a communication between the Main and the Da nube." ST. JAOo r CUBA, Dec. 3.—Several vessels have arrived here with Slaves from the coast of Africa. This traffic is abominable, and should be broken tip. It is a source of much regret, that many American Citizens are engaged in this bar. baron; trade, to which I hope a speedy stop'may be put by our Government. The Provincial Journal from which we have takers en account of the Sentences of the Culprits convicted at the Chester Sessions, which we in sert to-day, omitted the sentence of Sutton, who, we learn by letters received this morning, was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, and to find the same securities as the others. The increasing success of the Subscriptions for the Relief of the Houseless Poor, as well as the other meritorious Institutions of a similar kind, is highly honourable to our Countrymen. The names of Mr. HICKS, for the generous offer of his extensive premises as a temporary shelter, of the Loan MAYOR, and of the distinguished Persons who so promptly adopted and supported the plan, deserve to be recorded as an example to Poste►ity, when similar distress may fall upon the lower orders of Society. We conceive that each of these truly laudable Institutions should be kept separate from the others, as the business of each will be sufficient to occupy the time, and give exercise to the zeal, of those who kindly deiote their attention to a subject so interesting to the people at large, and so important to the objects who profit by these benevolent measures. The Adver tisements from these several Institutions form an appeal to the pride of mankind, as well as to their humanity--a pride so honourable to the human heart, that all who are able to contribute must be laudably gratified in seeing their names enrolled on the list of those who come forward in support of plans of so truly meritorious a description. As Mr. WAITHMAN, though too much of Modern Reformer, and a little too violent as an Orator, is a man of property, and not like the desperate Radical Leaders, who, having none themselves, aye anxious to overturn the Govern ment, in order to profit by a general scramble for the property of others, we regret to.hear that there have been approaches towards a reconciliation with HUNT, who so grossly abused him, and whorn he so indignantly rejected. With Mr. WAITHMAN'S Grammar we shall not quarrel, because, when he speaks on matters of trade, his knooledge and ex perience entitle hint to respect, but having attained the object of laudable ambition, a Seat in Parliament, as well as the honourable rank of Alderman of the greatest City in the World, we hoped to see him wholly divided from the HUNTS, the WoocseS, the COBUETT', the HONES, and all the gang of Radicals, who have obviously no views but their own interest, and others, who seem willing to set the Country on fire it they can warts themselves by the heat, and CoUSUIUC THE CONSTITUTION in ICS butes. WC think it is incumbent On Mr. WAITHMAN, in justiCe tO his own c haracter, to disclaim the charge of having listened to any advances towaids a renewal of amity between him and the White-hiltttd Orator.

The Circular which Cardinal FONTANA address eel to certain Popish Priests dwellitig in Ireland, and styling themselves " Bishops" has not been sufficiently noticed. He begins by likening the introduction of the Holy Scriptures by a Protestant hand, to the sowing of tares among the wheat" in our Sa viour's parable which, he says, is now verified, to the great injury of the Catholic Faith." He then states, that the Bible Schools have, " under the pretence of Charity," deluded inex perienced youth, and " infected them with the " fatal poison of depraved doctrines." That Methodists introduce Bibles, to " seduce" the young Papists, and to " eradicate from their minds the truths of the Orthodox Faith :" Popery, to wit. They are then most Christianly styled, " wolves who come in the clothing of sheep." And, after the other handsome epithet of " lying masters," and calling the Protestant Bible " the " seeds of perdition," this precious Epistle con cludes with recommending the immediate erection of " Catholic Schools" to save the " Orthodox" youtb from '' corruption." This is the Religion which we are called on,. not only to tolerate, and to authorize, but to establish, in our Protestant Empire ! This is the Religion, whose followers we are to trust under the new pretence of Loyalty, and At tachment, and Sincerity ! This is the Religion, whose machinery is to be admitted among us, with all the directing, and superintcndin4, and controuling power of the Vatican ! This is the Religion, whose foreign Chief is to issue his orders into the State of our Protestant Sovereign This is the Religion, whose Officers are to watch, and spy, and meddle, throughout the British Empire ! IVe will cot affect to conceal our entire satis faction at this piece of gross impudence. Ic ma nifests the temper of Popery, her opinions of Pro testantism, and her purposes against it. This notable rescript chews, that instead of ad ditional relaxations, the ancient strictness of our Law should be enforced. . The Statutes of Provisors and of Przemunire should be visited in all their severity upon what soever persons shall dare to import into Pro testant. Britain a Papal Mandate. MANDATe ! How our blood boils at the word Let us hope that ALL classes of Protestants will now unite against the danger of Popish Into lerance and Popish Persecution. Their safety lies, not in the conscience of Popery, but in her utter weakness.
