LETTER TRANSMITTED PROM LAVRACH PT XIS MAJESTY
THE KING, TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT.
" Dearest Son—The sentiments which animate me to
promote the happiness of my people, and the motives by
hich I have been impelled, at an advanced age, and in a
rigorous season, to undertake • long and painful journey,
are well known to you. I perceived that our country was
threatened with new misfortunes, nod was cu•vineed, there-
fore, that no consideration ought to pr an act imposed
un me as the must sacred of duties.
"After my first iatervi►w with the Stivereigos, and sub-
s►gneotly receiving the communicatinus whirl. were made
to me relative to the del.'s( rations 'bet bad taken place un
the part of the Congress assembled at Troppsu, I sou longer
retained any doubt of the judgment formed by the Allied
Powers of the events that have occurred at Naples, front the
Ist of July to the present day.
" I found them irrevocably determined not to recognise
the situation of affairs that has resulted, or Ilhat elm by
possibility result, from those racists; they reprd our pee-
end systim as incompatible, both with the tranquillity of
my kingdom and the priority of the neighbouring States;
and resolve to attack us by fbrce of arms, if Ilse force of
persuasion Inca not produce an iminediute ion fauns
that course of action. •

" This is the declaration which the Sovereign*, as well as
the respective Plenipotemiartes, have made to me, end
from which nothing ran induce them to depart.
'• It Is beyond my power, and, I belime, all Unman pos-
sibility, to obtain a different result. There remains, then,
no uncertainty as to the alternative in which we are placed,
nor of the only means which remain to save my kingdom
from the scourge of war.
" Should the conditions on which the Sovereigns insist be
accepted, the measures to which they will give rise will be
conducted solely through my intervention. I ought to in-
form you, however, that the Monarchs exact certain pavan.
tees wh.eli they consider indispensably necessary to the secu-
rity of the neighbouring states.
" In regard to the new system which is to succeed the
present situation of Oruro, the Sovereigns have communi.
cited the general point of view under which they regurd that
quest ion.

"They consider the measures that are to be adopted to
give the stability to my government which is necessary, •

sent letter all the publicity that it ought to have, to the

GRAND CONCERT.

Last night her MAJESTY honoured wilt her pre-
sence a grand Concert in the Egyptian Hall, Man-
, sion-House. It was held for the benevolent pur-
pose of relieving the Royal Institution, City-road,
from an oppressive debt. The audience was most
fashionable and eininerous. Within a quarter to
seven her MAJESTY and suite arrived, and were
received in state by the L.trd Mayor, Sheriff., and
the Committee, who undertook the arrangement.
Her entrance into the Hall. which was crowded
to exert., was hailed with the warmest approba-
tion. Near the orchestra a canopy. covered with
crimson velvet, was erected, beneath which her
MAJESTY took her relit. On one side stt Lidy
ANN HAMILTON, on the other Lady HOOO. Be-
hind her MAJESTY'S chair, Lord HOOO, the HOD.
KEPI'S'. CRAVEN. Sir ROBERT WILSON, and
Mr. Lioanouse, "stood during the concert. Her
MAJESTY was dreesed in a white Patin gown, with
w most splendid head-dress, and we are happy to
mete looked extremely Well.
The selection of music, both vocal and instru-
mental, was most judicious; but the audience ex-
perienced a great lots in the absence of Miss
STEPHENS, for whom-an apology was made. Ma-
deline CAMPORESE and Sign. .r AMBROOETTI gave
universal satisfaction and delight.
Within a quarter of ten the concert concluded,
when her MAJESTY rose and bowed most coup.
teously to the audience, and was conducted to a
room prepared for her oreeption. The same tokens
of approbation that were displayed on her entrance
attended her departure,. Several ',craws of dis-
titration were present, amongst whom were--
The Duke of Leimter, Sir Gerrard Noel, Mr. Hume and
parry, Mr. Peter Moose and party, Mr. Whitbread sod
party, Mr. Beaumont, nail several others.

Owing to the immense crowd of carrisges, it
was near twelve o'clock before all the cowpony
dispersed.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The house was crowded last night to witness the
approrance of Mies IVILsoa, es Huston, in Lone
to a Village. Upon the whole she added to her
former reputation, though the music in Artaxerxes
is more trying than in this opera. Her acting was
spirited, and frequently very effective. Some music
was introduced to give the piece more interest, and s
sung of con.iilentble difficulty fell to her share, which
the executed so well that she was called upon to
repeat it. She sang. " When thy buxom heaves a
eigh,"with Mr. BilAilAlle, MO they were rapturously
encored. But the duet, " Together let us range
thefelds." which site sang._ with sir. Hoax, ex-
cited very little sensation. Mr. HORN went through
with Young Meadows in a manner which reflected
high credit on hint. Mr. BRAHAM took Haw.
thorn, a part seemingly out of his line; hut lie

sustained it vigorously. He sung, " My Dolly
was the fairest thing," with very superior effect.
He introduced " Haste thee, Nymph," from HAN.
DEL, which was much admired. He also iniroduced
from M oome, " Friend of soy 4'od, Ai* gelolet sip,"
sod gave it• suds, expression, though he scarcely
used an additional grace, that it was called fur
again witlt enthusiasm. Mr. Muutmu, in Justice
Woodcock, and Mr. KNIOHT, iu the Clown, are
well known for their broad and rich humour. Mr.
Foora performed old Meadows with much quaint-
ness and originality. Miss l'ovsY performed the
niece of Justice Woodcock with considerable spitit,
and was encored loudly iu the song.
I'he new tragedy of Conscience, or the Bridal
litg,4l, was given out for repetition this evening►
and Love in a Village ass aunouuced for repetition
to-morrow (Scturday) night.
Mr. RUSSELL made an apology for the absence,
through indisposition, of Maclaine VESTED', who
was to have performed Little Pickle, and craved
the iodulgeuce of the audience for Miss KELLY,
who had at a very short notice undertaken to fill
the part, rather than that the audience should be
disappointed. The company present signified their
assout to this prupootion by very loud applause,.
