We are happy to state that his M AJESTY t oo k , the air on 'the Terrace on Monday and yesterday, and that, from the progressive improvement which has taken place in his. MAJESTY'S health, there is 'every reason to hope that in a very few weeks he will be enabled . to resume the exercise of his Royal fonCtions, . We must certainly du the Morning Chronicle the justice to acknowledge, that ii,' is taking the most effectual way to recommend its friends to the public favour, when it promises that ,their future „condo& shall tie in dire& opposition to the language it'lly have held for the last three years. Knowing the 'principles the Patty hate maintained, it was natural to suppose that if ever they came into power, ~they .would, with, resped to Spain and Portugal, to Aulerici,- to the question of blockade, and the Or ders in Council, &c. aEt in' direct opposition to the 'system of the present Ministers. The Chronicle not only . relieves our fears. upon that subjed, but seems actually astonished, and'almust angry with us, fur supposing that the Opposition would, when They were in power, adhere to the principles which they professed when they were out of it. We gke, the . Moining Chronicle credit tur making this pro.. fe.sioti on the part of its friends, though it must .be rather painful to acknowledge, that the only means they have of obtaining any thing like popularity, is to declare that if they get into power, they will, upon all leading and essential points, ad upon the system of 'the present Ministers. The Opposition 'lapels are extrermly anxious to assure the publicohat th, re is no foundation for the repot -, s that there are divisions subsisting among the party. The soreness which they manifest upon this aubjea„ would almost convince us of • the truth of the reports, if we had no other ground for believing them. We have heard, that even upon the subject of the. Prince's AntnNer to the Address of the Lord© and Commonti; there was among those " eminent Stttesinen," .is the !darning Chronicle calls them, a very marked &nitre= of opinion. We have heard, also, that with respect to that Answer, some of those " eminent Statesmen" who, we are told, are to be placed at•the head of affairs, were not con- Suited, or, consulted, that their advice was not taken.' 'Now if' all this be true, it certainly is a most inauspicious beginning of that 'cordial unani mity which prevails among those eminent States men ;" if it be not true, we shall . be glad to hear it Contradicted in distinct terms. Leiters were yesterday received from Dantzie to the kith ult. The merchants in that and the Pros flan towns in the Baltic having failed to ply the duty of 40 per cent. imposed on colonial property, the French RevenueQtticers have ,adopted an exttaor. dinary urode of liquidating" this impost. They seize such a proportion of property of this kind as, in their estimation, will cover the duty, and send it off to Paris. Every week immense, quantities of goods ere taken out ~of the merchants' warehouses, and forwarded to the French Capital, amidst the hisses, groatu, and excerptions of the populace. The French Custom-house Officers, as tinglit be expeded, du mot put themselves to the trouble of, calcetaiing to a traction the quantity of prodtice that will cover the Arodolint of, the. duty. They not only make very.li bend allowances fora possible fall in the price of the article,, but even include in their seizures as much of it as will defray:the LApence of transportiog it to Put is. The Duke of CLAIMICE left Windsor on Sunday right, and the Dukes of Yottx. and Sufism( en Mon day morving. y e sterday morning the Duke of CAmattwon kft Vituuskir tor Loudon.

We have received lioilirdam Com-anis of the . 15th and 17th. The Coutaiii of the t 5 'h contains a Decree relative to the vnanufaaure and sale of to bacco, by winch it is asserted, , that without adding to the borthenS i of the people, an Merease of fib•mil lions of francs may be obtained to the revenue. The Courant of the 17th also contains a long De cree, regulating the imports on meal, bread, and biscuit, and several other articles. . .

We announced on Monday the, Rolntion in Cuba, under the sanaion of the A►chbishop of thd Settlement, We have.sini . e learned that. the Junta r„knmioned under his authority- has been formed, and Ole first public instrument of that bOdy, explaining the nature and chataater of this pohtical.change, is in the following' terms : " The Supreme (tna of this Island, installed in the name uf, and in allegi.oiee to, our b:loved King fertlin:ind VII. and in obedience to his august Representative* the Regency of Spam, to,the loyal and independent inhabi tants of Cuba. 41 Whereas, during the insurreelions nine commo tions by which we have been surrounded, the peo ple of this' island have remained unshaken in their fidelity to their King and to their country ; and since from the state of win-tare which ',fur nearly tour years has been carried. on in ,Old Spain, our dear Moiher has.been unable to give that parental attentkin to her distant colonies which before they ever experienced, the Government of this Island has been conduEted by persons who, horn their Crimes, oelty, and tyranny, were. unfit not only to govern, but to live. " Under the , e distressing circumstances, well 'knowing the impossibility of the interference of Spain to relieve our calamities, the people of this island have, in full meeting held; determined no longer to submit to an authority which all classes equally abhor. " They have, therefore, by and with the consent of the whole Assembly, appointed a Council or Junta to administer justice to the inhabitants of the island of Cuba, to be installed by, and in the name of Ferdinand VII. This Junta, so appointed, it has beeti ordered, shall perform all the functions of the Governor, the Royal Audience, ,and the Cabilde,ln the capital of this Wand, Port del Principe. The junta, therefore, hereby gise notice to all thoge who h ,vu any claims, accuiations, or com plaints of grievances, .to appear in the Royal Hall, for the purpose of having the same heard and de termined according to law and justice; which it is promised shall be administered to all ranks and nor tions, equally, impartially, and fully. (Signed) " FrtaNCISCO A. MONTANNA." " By order of the Supreme, JunO. " Puerto del Principe, Nov. 24." The following letter from Mr. &Willi to General ARMSTRONG IS among the Papers pres.qated by the President ro the American Congress:— " Department of State, Nov. 2, Mo. " You , will, however, let the French Govern . ment understand that this Proclamation tins been issued on the ground, that the repeal of their De crees does include an' extinguishment of , all the Edicts of France actually, involving our neutral rights, and that the reservations under the expression it being Understood,' are not cOnditiotis precedent af fecting the operation of the repeal ; and on the ground also, that the United States are not pledged Ogainat the blockede of Gt9t Britain, beyond what is. exhibited in my letter to you of the 6th of July. It is to be remarked, moreover, that in issuing the Proclamation it has been presumed that the requi sition conained 41 that letter, on the subject of the sequestrated property, will have been satisfied; this presumption is, not only favoured by the natural connection of the policy and justice of a reversal of that sequestratio. with the repeal of the Decrees, but is streugthetted by concurrent accounts through difrerent channels, that such property as had been seqtiestered has been actually restored.

A Morning Paper has stated that " the Lords of the Admiralty hate: rewarded th e B i or i ous and emi nent services of that pl,ant and zealous (Miter,' Capt. HANCH ETT, by appointing him to the Boyne, destined to bear the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir HARRY NEALE." We apprehend that this state ment is not quite euireet : we have generally understood, that when an Admiral hoists his flag, lie is gratified with the choice of his. own Captain ; and we therefore suppoSe, that the merit ,(howeyer great it may he) of employing Captain HANCHETT, belongs to Sir HARRY NEALE, and not , to the Lords of the Admiralty. . KING!a THEATRE.--*Tile new- Opera which we announced as forthcoming at This place, was last night brought forward, under the title of 117'riorifo (AL liosselone,ossia tie ire Saltane. The subject ot, this pieve, as we before stated, is taken from atale of 114xamotsTec, and has long been known' in this counli'y' by tbe farce of The Sultan.' originally brought forward to introciue Mrs. AotNaToN to the character. of. Acre/ann. Two additional eharaetets are introduced in the picce of last night, viz. a Poet and a Musician, which heighten the effect of the work altogether. The heroine, liosseldne, way per formed by CATALAN', who made her first appear ance for the season on this , occasion. Her singii g merits every eulogium that can be bestowed on for prodigious extent of power in tone and compass, and brilliancy of executiou. As an actress, however, the serious drama is liar forte; yet- it must be ac knowledged, that if she does . not ext.:, 1 in comic (tumour, stie is playful and.unatreeled. The part of the ~sultall was performed by. Signor CAilvisit, •Who tnacW his first appearance in this count ry.' He pesses ses a good tenor voice, though not of lintel, strength, arid singi with taste and knowledge of his art. His wife is a pl-asing link *Nuttier), aod though no great singer, plays with spirit. CAtiviNt himself also deserves pisiise, for his expresSion in acting. NALDi had good scope fur his humour and his musical knowledge in the part'of the Musician, and MAR TINI was tolerably succersful it) performing ilit,of the Poet. The music was composed by Pucerra ; it'is pleasing, and hiss alfog, Cher an air of i tuV el ty as well as spi r it. Th e Opeia was very well receiv ed by a numerous and elegant audience. It is, however, much too leng, - and some of the recita tives hung very heavily on the attention of the au dience. A printed apology was distributed, for the postponement of the ballet entitled The Judgment of Paris, on account of the sudden indispositiun of Desit AYES.
