Upon the more important. subject of natural and acquired rights, which leads to the horrid consideration of retaliation in the event of their being disregarded, Mr. MADISON seems equally unacquainted with the laws of God and of Alan. He He proves himself to he profoundly ignorant of the first elements of the code of nations, and or their application in detail to the code of British Ju risprudence. With regard to Allegiance, the law and usages of all Nations hold that therels an implied original and virtual • allegiance due froM every subject to his Sovereign (see BLACK STONE), front which be cannot be released by any act of his own, and the . violation of which is Treason. "An Englishman (says the same authority), who remnves to Fiance or China, owes the same alregiance. to the King- of England there as at home, and twenty years hence as well as now. Fur it is a principle of universul law, that the natural Tborn subject of one Prince cannot by • any act of ,his own, 'no, not by swearing allegiance to another, put off or discharge his natural allegiance to the former ; for this natural allegiance was intrinsic, and pri mitive, and antecedent to the other, and cannot be dive S t ied without the concurrent act of that Prince to whom it was . first due," How does Mr. Manisin , i . get over this ?—by procuring old women to perjure themselves, in order to natu ralize British subjects, and then rocking them in- Carolina cradles, to qualify the future perjury MC- • (Mated to bring them off, in the event of their being taken prisoners. But be cannot absolve Britons from their natural duties, and the bare at tempt is monstrous. To counteuance it, however, he has recourse to a gross fallacy; he says— " A standing law of Great Britain naturalises, " as is well known, all aliens 'complying with con " " ditions limited to a shorter period than those required by the United States ; and naturalised " subjects arc, in war, employed by her Govern ment in c,ofinnon with native subjects." There is no such law in Byitain. In the first place, every instance of naturalization requires the formality . of •a distinct Act . of Parliamept ; and in the second, when passed into.a law of the land, it does not withdraw the subject of another Prince from his allegiance to that Prince, but conic's certain privileges, and in return requires the per ftirmance of certain duties from him during his re sidence in this country. It is by the fallacy of confounding the local allegiance of the alien to the Prince of his adoption, with the natural alle giance of the subject to his natural Prince, that cur Learned President has come to his false conclu sions. H ALE distinctly lays down the difference in • principle Between these two species - of allegiance— the natural. _we have already defined, the local is entirely . of another complexion, it continues only, so long as the . person - continues in the King's, do minions it ceases the instant be leaves the king dom ; it is, therefore, only temporary, while na tural allegiance is perpetual. And the prin, ciple is shortly this : for protectiOn from the Monarch the subject owes fidelity, and as th?. Monarch is bound for ever to protect his natural born subject, so the allegiance of the subject can not be absolved, whereas the Alien naturalizen is only protected by the Monarch while living- in his dominions, and his allegiance ceases from the mo ment he ceases, by removing, • to avail himself of that-protection. Such is the law of Britain and of nations : now we_simply ask the question,. how it can be made appliCable to British born subjects tiken in arms against their own county; and invading her pro vinces to subjugate them to a foreign State ? With this view, we need not say, that every hair . of a Britain's bead injured by . the American Government, under the plea of retaliation for British subjects punished for the erhne of treason against their country, is upon the responsibility of that Government, and that they must be - made answerable for it, whatever may be the 'conse quenceS. We giAie some interesting extracts from German Papers, which bring down the connected his tory of the campaign in Italy to a later date than hitherto received. _ • It is reported, that Don CARLOS of Spain, and CLARKE (Duke of reltre) were the initruments treating between BIYONAP A RTE and FKRDINAND VII., that a copy of the Treaty had reached Ma drid, and that its chief condition► was, that FER DIAND,, in gratitude foi• his restoration, should drive the British from Spubz—they had better have said Frairce! !

DRURY-LANE.— , -Mr. KEAN, who has long been distinguished as an actor on provincial boards, though but a young loan, made his first appi.ar ance last night at this Theatre, in the part of Shylocic. As he was preceded by a high report of_ Fame, he was received on his entrance with marked and reiterated applause. After this cheer ing welcome bud ended, and he had fully testi fied, by ..his deportment, a sense of so flattering a reception, he entered upon the character, and no subsequent applause which be excited induced hint to desert the- part which he had assumed.— Mr. KEAN. is below the middle stature. O his figure in general We could not judge, as it was covered by the lewish attire ; but be 'has a very expressive countenance, and a marking eve. His voice is clear and powerful in the middle tones, but is not so in, the upper notes. He has the merit of playing from his own conceptions, and there was no trace, of a copyist from any •liv ing- performer. His deportment was easy, but was rather too theatrical and redundant fur " Old Shylork," yet if he was rather too agile for a man dark, gloomy, avaricious, and of rooted malice ; lie seemed to be fully possessed of the text and qualities of the part. In several pas sage,s,.. without affected refinement, he either. threw out- new lights, or gave peculiar exnres siva to what -had not been so emphatically marked by his predecessors. •He was, per hap, dot quite -so successful •in the scene after the flight of his daughter, as • in the other parts of the character, owing to his voice becoming thick When he speak's rapidly ; but still be displayed in that great energy and is address to the Duke vas forcible and impressive, and his exultation at the apparent success which awaited him was well contrasted with the dejection which followed his disappointment. We did not well understand the manner of his final departure, which was a stern and steady gaze at Gratiano, for having been baffled in his hope ofrevenge, de prived of half his property, and doomed-to forsake his " sac.-ed nation," . his mind might be supposed to be too much occupied by conflicting emotions to admit an expressitin of' so long condoned and intense resentment, or contempt, for a character chiefly distinguished - for Upon the whole, M.r.'KEAN is likely to become a very valuable ac quisition to the,Theaare, and the Manager de. serves much approbation for having produced so able a Performer to the metropolitan stage. The applause of the audience was frequent and fervent till the conclusion of his performance, when long continued plaudits rewarded one of the most sue. cessful debuts in the higher line, of acting we have ever witnessed. We should not -omit noticing that the Whole of Mr. IcEmst's bye-play was ad ! ! mirable. • COVENT-OARDEN.- - -A crowded audience as- sembled here last night, iii expectation of the new Opera, entitled The Rirmer's Lrife; W. which a very favOurable report was generally prevalent ; but printed bills were iosted up at all the- avenues, impOrting, that on account of the alarming illness of a principal Performer, Miss MATHEWS, ALIO new Opera Was unavoidably postponed, and the substitute .was Love in a Village: This explana , tion was by no means satisfactory to the au dience, and therefore, on this rising of the cur. Lain, a a violent opposition took- place, 'chiefly in the Pit ;at length-it was deemed necessary to drop the Curtain, and Mr. FAWCETT made his ap. pearance in thedress ofJustice Woodcock The tumult 'increased on his entrance, and it was some time be fore be could be heard. He Stated, that Miss MA, THEWS had - for some days been indisposed, 'inso much that he boll requested her to ler the Opera • he pOstponed ;- but her zeal to discharge her ditty to the theatre and the. public hat: induced her to resolve on performing her - part. But her fever had increased. to much this day, that her medical adviser (Mr. JOHNSTON, of Mortimer-street), had absolutely prohibited her appeal - a - nee. He con chided w ith saying, -that every effort 'had Inert made that the time allowed, to apprize the public of the intended change in the periormacee, and' that no money was to be taken withontinfOrm-. ing the visitor of the circumstance which had so unhappily occurred. Mr. FAWCETT then' with* d rew , a midst mingled approbation and disgust, though the former was obviously predominant The play then recommenced, but. there was still so much opposition as to , throw Mist Si.ErftExti into evident agitation. At- letigth all hostility .sulisided; and', the Opera went off with its usual success. Mrs. ORG an, from the other theatre, acquitted herself respectably in Lucinda..
