We yesterday communicated to our ►eaders *
copy of the QUEEN'S letter to Lord SIDSIOUTH,
in which her MAJESTY expresses her intention to
be present at the ceremony of the Kum's corona-
tion on the 19th of this month, and demands that
a suitable place may be appointed for her. We
must confer* that we do not see what useful pur-
pose can be answered by the QUEEN'S appearance
at this ceremony. The Prity Council has decided
that the QUEEN is not invested with an absolute
right to be crowned, and the Ministers have advis-
ed the KING that his MAJESTY Sinaliti not extend
to his Royal Consort thejarour of sharing with him
the honours of that august ceremony. It is there-
fore certain that should her MAJESTY carry her
intention into effect, and actually present herself in
Westminster Hall on the day fixed for the corona-
tion, it cannot be done for the purpose of receiv-
ing the matrimonial crown of royalty as a matter
either of right or of favour, but her MAJESTY
must submit to the mortification of seeing the
splendid pageant proceed without bearing in it that
tout which former Queens Consort have filled.
Upon points of taste and feeling the old adage says
no arguments con be used, but for our own parts
we should have thought that to the Queues mind
it must have occurred, as she perused the letter
which hears her signature, that in demanding from
Lord SIDSIOUTII the appointment of a " suitable
place" for her accommodation, there could be but
one place suitable to the rank and dignity of a Queen
Consort, and that this one place had been already
denied to her request. Could it gratify her 111. t
JAIME'S pride or ambition to sit among the specta-
tors of the fine spew, to mix with the molly crowd,
or walk in the gorgeous procession where no honour
was intended kir herself ? or could it accord with
the delicacy of her feelings to be conscious that she
alone in the great assembly was the only unwelcome
and unbidden guest ? The past conduct of the
Ministers of the Crown towards the QuEEN leads us
to conjecture that they will in this instance spare her
MAJESTY the mortification of completing her own lin-
initiation by not acceding to her demand. The QUEER
has asserted her claim by every means that became
her rauk, and the manner of the refusal she has expe-
rienced has excited in the public mind • strong
sympathy in her fuvour. But should she now
abandon the elevated ground she had originally
assumed, and having failed is establishing her claim
to commit honours, succeed in obtaining a convc-
pivot seat to witness the ceremony, public feeling
will sink in proportion, and the interest which might
be awakened for the unprotected situation of a
QUEEN excluded by power from an honour never
before refused to any of her predecessors, will be
chilled into indifference on seeing the same QUEEN'
calmly taking her place amidst the crowd of gazers,
and condescending to swell the pomp in which she
is tint suffered to participate.

The Kura heard Mass at the Castle Chapel of St.
Cloud on Sunday, after which he received the Grand
Dignitaries of the realm, the Ministers, several
Marshals of France, and Public Functionaries. The
Anibtiotaatlors of Sp tin and England also paid their
respects to his MAJESTY.
The continued reenlence of the Austrian troops
in Piedmont appears to have giveu rise to a report
that it is intended to subject a pert of that king-
dom to Austria. Gicat discontent has been thus
excited staong the Piedmonte,e, and a mutiny
produced in the regiment of Savoy, of which corps
sixty subalterns and spitfires have been arrested.—
The particulars will be found irettur extracts.

We have received Spanish Papers to the 28th
last. A new conspiracy has been ilii.envered in An-

burg. Many other diplomatic elsommters belonging to the
different Cabinets of Europe intend to visit the baths near

_Prussia is those
parts happeuMg at the same time, it is thought likely that

important sohjecis. The Prince of Parianna arrived at
Brussels on the OA, going to London as Ambassador Extra-
ordinary from the King of Naples.

A letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Cape

that •fish schooner, called the May I lerr,r,

having goods on hoard, in reality captured by the
Esperanza, an independent or piratical brig of
war, cruising under the Oriental flag (that of Ar-
tigas), in order to iflect their sole, and carer the
piracy. It is to be hoped, for the honour 0 the
British commc•rcisl character, that this charge as

Last morning the Westminster Sessions com-

Sessions except the number of navcrse eases.
