It is difficult to conceive with what countenance the highest authority in this country could stand forth to offer marked insult to the British Army. But the insult has been offered, and the ground for it is, that the Monarch has been menaced.--- , , The key to all is, th a t th e Monarch' is a French man. I otPigue for sincerity, ingratitude for manly - remembrance, contempt of the friend whose ser vices have ceased to be necessary, and servility to the traitor Whose hatred may still be an object of fear. This is the national character ; and with this dye the nation is tinged indelibly through all its ranks, up to at least the steps to the throne. Whether - the (lye is to be traced on the draperies of that sanctuary, 'must be told by the Duke of WELLINGTON. I would have sent you his letter on the Royal conduct, but :from presuming that it must have reached London before my mention of it. The French hate England as their ancient rival, that has become their present conqueror.— They hate the British Army as the instruments Of their immediate shame, buh nothing of their ha tred, until this eclaircissement transpired in open insult. 'their homage was even disgusting: front its assiduity. Unlimited praises on the habits of English life, the magnificent fabric of British freedom, the matchless discipline of British troops, were mingled with offensive comparisons of the Allies. . In two days after it was told that the remon strance of the Br,tish General was answered by a complaint and a harangue, the opinion of Paris underwent- a total revolution,. and the ‘vhole elo quence of patriotism is now expended. on con trasts of the fair and umtisguised host ility . of the Prussians and Russians, who, if they robbed them, said they came to rob, and the insidious hypo crisy of the English, who, paying fur every.thing„ had yet sonic secret scheme to plunder all. This sounds absurd. But to argue with a French po litician is among the idlest wastes of human rea son. The genuine source of the irritation is the disgrace and trampling down of French renown by the power of England. This prisons all . in tercourse, this sinks like a sword into tlieir and they cannot move a fibre without writhing at the pain. The national vanity, always rash and ridiculous, but in its day of trinronh mingling desperate and merciless wirkedness . with grotesque ab•nrdity, is now, like a wounded snake, muti lated and crushed, but in every fragment stung,- gling with an enraged, though meagre and mi -1 mite % , itality. The Frenchman feels himself dis graced as a man of France, he ,has no means of redeeming his self-respect, but by taking all op , - : portunities Of insolence as an individual. A slave, and marked- with the stripes of recent punish , menr, be has the eager effrontery of a slave when the whip and the chain are for the moment taken froth before his eye. The pretext for the irrita tion was, the removal of the Netherland Pictures from the Louvre. Some of the higher diplomats here are understood to have objected to the want of dexterity in the removal. This study of smoothing► down active measures by the Covering, of a little wily finesse, is the mere trick of Courts ; and the precise evil which has given the most se rious blow to the British respect in foreign al' , fairs. To make fair 'demands, and make them openly—to support them with the strength which England has in argument where it may be re- ceived, and in arms where force alone cAis secure justice, belongs to the nobleness of a great na- tion. To cover right with pretext,. and attempt nothing but by stratagem, has been too usual in diplomacy ; and this meagre ;:dmision his natu rally raised an outcry against the demand, which thus must take the shape of a spoliation. It was suggested, in this stile, that the Belgian troops should be employed to require the Belgian pie.; tures. The effect of this must have been, to give the idea that the British were either afraid to pro yoke the French, or that they washed their hands of the manifest plunder committed by their Allies. The report that the Btitish had declined interfer ing, had already excited. both opinions in Paris, when their theories were suddenly broken off by the apparition of a British detachment opening the doors of the Louvre. The Politician would have let the indignation of the enemy fall on . the Ally, the Warrior cared nothing for its weight on himself, felt that as the Commander lii Chief equally of the Belgian and the British army, the . finesse at best could not have lasted above the day, and that, where the act proceeds from the same individual, the Fmnch did not deserVe the coMpliment of his making a distinction in his instruments; Whoever might have made the sei zure, it would have been equally the 'act of the 131Itish General- 7 a coat red or blue would even tuAlly have made ug difference. Tile Tcault of • • • . ic,icatiz)g at :di ulftatly been to give the po.. pulace a pretext for railing at the British; the . results of further hesitation would have been, to impress them with the idea that the British Ge neral found his situation too perilous to venture' on provoking the nation ; and this idea, properly fostered, and falling on the unextinguishable ha tred of this worthless people, would have, in all human probability, Foduced a general insurrec, tion. The conduct of the British troops in France has been worthy of their name and of their dis tinguished Chief. No act of violence, no private injustice, no idle insolence to the public feeling, has been, alleged against. them ; examined with the eye of an unsleepingjealousy, they have not given ground for a single complaint ; and, if there was required an evidence of the superiority of ate British mind, it might be found perhaps more distinctly in the deportment of those quiet men in the cities of their enemies, than in their gallantry when they met them in the field.

THE THEATRE. DRORY-LANE.-*The Comedy of The tfill,wlsich may be ranked among the best of Mr. REYNOLDS'S dramatic sketches, last night introduced Mrs. MAr.- nyN at this Theatre, in the part of Albino Mande ville, a part originally written fur Mrs. JORDAN, and which .but one person has since attempted to perform. This person, vliose.. naine we do not recollect, performed it at Drary4..ane Theatre, and acquitted herself tolerably well. But it was reserved for Mrs. MAP,6vN to support it with such pretensions Of per Son, animation, gaiety, and other active qualities, as are Weil calculated to re vive the attraction of. the play in its original po pularity. Mrs. MARDYN looked admirably in virile attire, and displayed proportions corre spondent with the beauty of her face. Far from condemning the redundancy•of her action, which we acknowledge to he redundant, we consider it as the exuberance of youth, spirit, and hu mour, which will s.oon wear off by practice, and which, if . more conformable to strict critical rules, would not, perhaps, affornl so much pleasure to the audience. Her performance altogether was so effective that, though another ploy was an-, nouneed for this evening, The is to be re peated. The rest of the characters were admi rably supported by DowToN, POFZ WAL LACK, and LovEGacrvE, though the last, we re gret to say, has tint recovered his health. The house was crowded in all parts ; .and Mrs. MAR.- DYN, by her vivacity, airy elegance, and animated amply deserved the very warm applause which her "pertbrmance excited- MUSICAL FESTIVALS. HALIFAX, C)cT. 13.—Cur Musical Festival con cluded this evening ; tlle performances have been most numerously attended, and the unrivalled powers of 111{AEIAM have afforded the 'highest gra tification to the audience, which comprised some Of the most eminent anti scientific amateurs in the kingdom i his - performance of Comf , ,rt ye my Poiple," and " Deeper and Deeper stid,". were so impressive and highly appreciated, that the re petitionof the last was unanimously requested by the Stewards - on. the third morning, when, if pos sible, it was given with increased effect. This was his first visit, awl highly as he was extolled, his performance has exceeded our most sanguine expectations. Mrs- SALMON is not only the most elegant, but assuredly the best singer we haven heard since the secession of Mrs. BILLINGTAN, of whose style her pertorpance 'greatly reminds us ; the rapidity and brilliancy of her Otecution is ad mirably contrasted by the simplicity and expres sion with which she sings some of our most fa vourite mils. Mr. SMITH possesses a mellifluous . bass voice, and his performance was greatly ad mired. 'The Glees were 'admirably sling by Mi. WILD, Mr. GAIIBETT, and Mr. RoLLE ; and that deserved favourite, " Here in coot Grot," which was introduced its coMpliment to the Duke of WELLINGTON, being the compositi9u of his fattier, the late Earl of Mont.'s:G.l.oN, encored.

AUSOLELT2d. UNDER THE FATRONAGE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT. We are happy to find, that this Monurnetv to the memory of departed genius has aura( ted the attention of ail ranks in the kingdom.

The Secretary, Mr. GatitzsoN, has just received thd model for, the marble sculpture, which we think is come at a very Fortin:ate time, 'as the subject i 3 taken froin IltraNs's dedication to that honour able body, which is just met in this place, the Ca ledonian How, where he " My Lords and Gentlemen, '' A Scottish bard, proud of the name, and whose ICgliest ambition is to sing i:abis country's service, where shall lie so properly look for patronage as to the illustrious names of hia native land, those who near the honours and inhent the vir tues,of• their ancestors ?

Thst. expression of both figures is extremely simple, and. the attitudes easy and elegant.

UNGOVERNABLE PASSION.—A Seliwis instauc , 1 the dangerous effects of untrovernable nassio UNGOVERNABLE I' serions instance of the dangerous el ,f ungovernable passion occurred at Arbroath, on the night of Monday se'nhight. A Leith vessel, from a foreien port, was in the harbour of that place, discharging part of her cargo, and, as usual, t!ie vessel, was strictly watched by a party of Custom-louse officers on her leek.---The Captain did not return, at night to his ship until a late hour, by whien time the crew had gone below. On his gOint , hoard and not finding- his men in waiting, he called thetn'to him, and began to abuse theme in the most violent manner. His passion got so-far the better of him, that he retired instantly to hi state room, and 'returned With cutlas, and laid about him in the most furious manner s During the con flict the Custom-house Officers retired for per sonal -safety. The crew hastened out of his ‘vay ; but one poor fellow, who was near the Captain, not so fortunate as his comrades, in effecting 1113 escape, received a dread:ol thrust in the hack, Which, it is apprehended, may prove mortal.-- . The Captain has been - lodged in prison for exa mination, and, until the fate of the man who Was stabbed should. he .ascertained. The -Costom house Officers, on examining the vessel on 'Wed nesday, found large quantities of contraband goods, the property of the - master. The whole was seized, as also the ship and cargo. Mer..Aistcuouv ACCIDENTS.—A few days ago, a very:tnelancholy accident took place at Waltham. Cross. '.lle Boston coach stopped there for a short' period, when time horses suddenly turned into a low covered gateway with the coach, where there, was no room to admit the passengers on the roof ; the consequence was, that four of them were so completely pressed between the coach and. the upper part of the gateway as actually to pre- Vent the vehicle from going on. When the sof- , ferers were relieved i'rotn their unhappy situation, one person was found quite dead, and the others were so much bruised that their lives are despair, ed of. A letter received 'from Tobermory, Island of Mull, October 3, says—" We have melancholy news here this day. The packet-boat between Mull and Coll, having on board 21 men and ore woman, overset, and all ,on board perished.— There was a fair at Coll, to which the passen gers were going. The accident happened when. an attempt was made to return to port on account of the high winds. "•. The letter mentions the following persons as having been onboard :-- Kenneth M'Lean, merchant, Kilmore, Mull; Hector Morrison and Malcolm AP Dmialtl, drovers there—two chapmen from Edin!)urgh, but their names are not mentioned=all the rest belonged to Cunish, The Master of the packet was not on board when the accident happened, but he had two sons ; and, what is remarkable, he, about nine years ags, lost another packet, with two. sons. CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 18.—We had but few arrivals of any kind of Grain this morning, yet what was left over from Monday was quite 'equal to the demand. The sale of Wheat was very dull, and Monday's prices were scarcely obtained. Oats were rather brisker, at the prices of that day. Barley and Malt were dull.
