TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER.

Sur—The motto prefixed to the Examiner, is, no doubt,
intended, to convince your readers of the impartiality of
your statements, whether regarding rolitics or players. I
presume, therefore, as you have admitted so decided an at-
tack upon the abilities of Mr. Young, in your publication of
July 23d, that you can have no objection to publish the
following remarks in his defence. The manner in which
W. H. commences his observations is too ridiculous to be
passed over in silence. lie (perhaps it should heye, for I
observe that, in contradiction to the signature, the plural
pronoun is used throughout the article) informs us, that he
was so grieved to see the Tempest caricatured in such a man-
lier, that he had almost come to the resolution of never go-
ing to a play of Shakespeare's as long as he lived, and that he
certainly di# come to the determination of never going it,,
choice. Has W. If. the vanity to imagine that any body will
take the trouble of forcing► him to go, or that the public
will care one straw, even if he should go beyond his threat,
and never enter the doors of a theatre again as long. as he
lives ? The tender feelings of W. H. suffered such a mar-
tyrdom from what he terms Mr. Young's bad representation
of Prospero, that he has condemned him as a bad actor in
every character, by asserting, that he has not genius, or (it
should be nor) spirit enough to do either ill or well ;" it ap-
pears somewhat illiberal and unjust to preface the remarks
upon a performer in one character, by such general and se-
vere observations. This, however, is not to be wondered
at from W. 11. who is good enough to inform the
public, that a bad representation of the Tempest, is
sufficient to deter mine him never to go to another per-
pmance of any of Shakespear's plays. The same judicious
and liberal resolution no doubt induces him to rail at an
actor in tofu if he is not equally great in every part he under-
takes. Mr. Young certainly does not astonish the public by
those sudden cot uscations of genius for which a few are so
eminent ; but he does much better ; he keeps the attention
of his audience alive throughout the whole of his perfor-
mance, instead of allowing them to sleep the greater part of
the evening, for the purpose of coming in now and then with
greater eclat : neither does he condescend to lay clap traps
for the vulgar, by sudden starts, or unmeaning whispers,
which however improperly introduced never fail to gain
applause from those, who take it for granted that every thing
they do not comprehend must be praiseworthy. hlis perfor-
mances are always chaste and elegant ; his action is good,
and his voice excellent. lu many of our first and most
arduous chatactets, as Zanga, Hamlet, Stranger, Macbeth,
Beverley, Pierre, Cassius, &c. &c. &c., he displays the most
brilliant talents, and the enthusiastic applause he constantly
receives, is a convincing proof of the opinion gem:tally futmed

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

A 0110 ST.— The neighbourhood of St. Andrew's March, Hol-
born, has of late been annoyed by a nightly assetublage of persons,
collected on the steps leading to the church, drawn there by a re-
port that the church-yard was regularly visited by e.gliost, in the
Cam of a female, every evening at the chime hours of nine and
twelve. The spectre was said to make its appearance on the steps
at the church porch, to perambulate the eintreleyard three times,
and after playing off various 'rafted's, to take its flight over the
Leads of the spectators towards Ely-place. The first night of its
appearance was Tuesday last, on which night it frightened the horses
of two drays, whirl, were !sassing, and caused them to run away,
since which time the spirits of some of its attendants have mingled
with the crowd, and insinuated themselves into the pockets of se-
vela' of those who have beets foolish enough to be attracted to the
spot by the reported appearance of a supernatural visitant. The
otficets of the Police have, however, very properly turned their at
tention to the subject, and were in attendance during the evening
of Friday and yesterday.
Btonday, a Coronet's Inquest was held at the Crown, Ux-
bridge, bet sre Geode Hodgson, Esq. on the body of William
Palmer. el rk at Mr. Norton's, Uxbridge timber-wharf. It appear-
d that the decease. en hislay evening, was engaged in attending
to the unloading of a timber-carriage, when a stick of timber fell
on the :,reast of Paints r, and killed him upon the spot. The fall
of the timber was purely the result of accident; 110 blame attached
to any op,e.—Verdict. Accidental Death.

LI CEUNI.

A new opera called The King's Peary, was produced
last night at this Theatre, and received with much ap-
plause. The story is that of King Edgar, who sent his
favourite to inquire about the beauty of a lady whom he
wi,hed to marry. The favourite fell in love himself,
married thv lady, calumniated her charnv, and kept her
concealed till his master discovered the imposition during
a hunting party, and according to history, put a tragical
end to the adventure. The poet, however, makes him
better natured. The historical account of this piece is
rather curious. It is a translation of a French imitation
of Mason's Elfrida. It possesses considerable interest,
and assisted by Cooke's elegant melodies and excellent
acting, cannot fail to prove a favourite with the public.
The f►►llowing are specimens of the Songs, which are all

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

FRANCE AS IT WAS, AS IT IS, AND AS IT WILL BE.

This is an age in which we may exclaim, " how are the
mighty fallen !" how great is the fragility of human power !
An awful lesson, which they ought the more deeply to
remember, as they were made its agents, has been given
to the monarchs of the earth. The have learnt that nei-
ther conquest, nor extended territory, the utmost capa-
cities of genius, nor the fame of invincibility, the force of
millions, nor the servitude of half a world, can support a
throne whose foundation is injustice, whose sway despot-
ism. They have been taught in what true greatness con-
sists, and what forms its security. They see that the
persons of kings themselves are no longer placed beyond
the reach of events, and feel that it behoves them, in the
height of 'prosperity, to sow such seeds, as in the dark
hour of misfortune will produce a full harvest of public
respect and affection. If they forget the terrible example
of chastised ambition which France and her Ruler present,
let them beware, they are not invulnerable. Because
one scourge is destroyed, - let them not fancy that
Heavenly wrath can find no other minister. We
lately took a view of the tremendous change which
a few weeks produced in the situation of Napoleon.
Let us now consider that of France. It has long been a
prevalent error to sink the glories and crimes of that
country into those of its ruler; as though Buonaparte
could have even threatened the tranquillity of Europe,
or gathered a single triumphal wreath without the full
consent and active co-operation of the French !
What then have been the vicissitudes of fortune which
in her wild and unprincipled chase after unbounded
dominion, that nation has encountered ? Behold her
in 1812. The continent was at her feet. Reduced
into departments, a hundred states had disappeared
to swell her population and feed her strength.. The
Baltic dashed against her northern frontiers, whilst
the German Ocean, the Atlantic the Mediterranean, and
the Adriatic, bathed her shores. A line of vassal kings
covered her inland barrier, whilst beyond, tributary mo.
estrehies and empires, formed, as it were, the external
Ir3ttresses of her power. She marshalled her hosts, aud

observed that "that was sufficient."—lt is sepposed by
some persons, that the Government will find some ex_
cuse for not carrvine; the sentence IWO execution. Other
persons moved by his conduct at his trial, contend that he
has the appearance of being far less guilty than many of
those who aro not only not punished, but rewarded or
continued, and they add a wish that ho had made his
escape.

It certainly is no less strange than unjust, that whilst
Fondle, who lately occupied a far higher post in Bun-
aaparte's service, is not only forgiven, but retained as
one of the King's principal Ministers, this young man,
who was an inferior agent, should be put to death.
These papers inform us that Ney, and Drouet, and
Debelle, are immediately to be brought to their trials.
Soult has ken permitted to retire under surveillance to
his country seat.
Jerome Buonaparte appears to have made his escape ;
and it is added that the King of Wirtemberg has permit-
ted him to reside in his territories, and that the Frincess
his wife is to lice with him.

The elcc.tions are said to be going on favourably, and
the Journal des Dcbrits assures 'vs, that the public nitn(l
is becoming more calm daily. We trust that it is so; but
private letters draw a different picture, and we must not
forget that the press is under the absolute controul of

pie closed against him. Ills accomplices, if he had any la
the interior of the country, felt that the Government nas
on its geard, and would not be overthrown, like the Boer_
bons, by the mere intelligence of the landing of a throned
monarch. They shrunk from an early diselosere
of their intentions, which alone could have turned the
tide in his favour, and passively waited till he should either
have struck a blow which would leave no doubt of his suc.
cess, or should have met with a repulse which would render
his cause hopeless, without considering that their silence
rendered his defeat certain. All this Murat ought to have
foreseen, but he rushed on blindly to his fate. Bad he even taken the same precautions as Buonaparte, he. might
have secured, if not success, at least a safe retreat.
When the latter landed at Cannes he did not put himself
at the head of the first party he sent into the inteiinr to
summons the neighbouring towns. hied he done this, 1:1-3
destiny might have been the same as that of his brothel.-
in-law, for his first messengers were surrounded and made
prisoners. But he was more prudent : lie remained on the shore with the bulk of his followers, and when he
advanced, passed through places where the fame of his
return had already spread, when the attempts to arrest
him were known to have failed, and where the people
were already prepared to give way either to fear or to
inclination, and to-receive him. Far different was Murat's
conduct; he went forth, the first herald of his ow n
lauding, and met the fate of a common messenger.
Not only in point of time, therefore, was his enter-
prise ill planned, its execution was still worse. As
to his end, although it may be contended that Feral_
nand had no right to treat as a rebel a man- whose
title to the crown had been acknowledged for ten
years by all the Sovereigns of Europe, whose alliance
had been courted by them, and whose armies had fought
with theirs against the common enemy, yet as it is said
he was tried by a law of his own making, inflicting
the penalty of death on all invaders of the Nea-
politan dominions, and chiefly directed against the
Princees of the Royal House of Sicily, who call
pity him for having fallen into his own toils ? As a Kin 7,
he had been mild and beneficent towards his people—but
weak, vacillating, and deceitful in his relations with fo-
reign Powers. nis tieachery to his Benefactor) mll

ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, sc,

NzweArrts ..—Four of the principals or ringleaders, charged with
;silences of diffirent natures, as seletted by the Counsel employed for
the General Shipping Interest, among whom is Nicholas Greener,
the principal committee man (commonly called Admiral). as also Jos.
tidier, of North Shields, publican, in whose house the committee of
seamen usually met, and where the whole of their business was trans-
acted, have been bound over, in very heavy recognizances, to appear
at. the next Epiphany Se:sions for Northumbe: land, to be holden at the
pew Moot-hall, there to answer such indictments as may be preferred
against them ; and a number of other seamen were bound over by re-
ognizance for good behaviour.
DREADITUL Frit E.—a Thursday morning, between two and three
o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the workshop of Messrs. Lacom
ond Seymour, carpenters and builders,No. 79, Wardour-street, Soho,
which burnt so rapidly, that in an hour the whole of the premises,
consisting of a front dwelling house and back workshop, were entirely
burnt down. We lament to add, that three fine children, of the re-
spective ages of four, six, and eight, two girls and a buy, perished in
the flames. The remains of two of the unfortunate little sufferers have
been dug out. The servant•girl, who slept with them, leaped from
the second floor window. and thus saved her life ; but her limbs were
broken, and she has been conveyed to the hospital. Such was the vio-
lence of the flames, that the walls of the houses on the opposite side
of the street are a little damaged. By the exertions of the firemen,
however, the ravages were principally confined to the premises in
which the fire broke out.

CORONER 'aEsr.—Wcdnesday evening an Inquest was held at
the Rose and Crown, in Rose-street, Solio•Ntiare, before Mr. GeII,
Coroner for Westminster, on the body of J. Bradly, who was acci-
dentally killed the preceding day. it appeared fiont the evidence,
that the deceased was a fatherless boy, about 12 years of age, belonging
to St. Patrick's School; that he WAS standing at the corner of Rose-
street, with his arm laid on a post,. when one of Messrs. Stretton and
Co.'s drays was coming by, the driver of which went to the horse's
'head, in order to make room for the dray between the corner of the
street and a dust cart which was coming in contact; unfortunately
the deceased did not observe the dray until it touched his shoulder,
when he turned round his head to see what it was, but the wheel
come so sudden that it caught his head between it and the post, and
crushed his scull to pieces. The Jury after a mattire deliberation,
,considering that no blame was attached to the driver, returned their
sterdiLt—Accidental Death.

Lord St. Joitu and Earl Gaut, adverted to the treaty between
Great Britain and Holland, by which we agreed to take upon ourselves
part payment of the debt due from Russia to Holland, as well as give
the Litter power two millions to repair the fortresses of Belgium, en-
tered their protests 3g:dust such an expenditure, as most extravagant
and impolitic in the present state of the country.

The Earl of LIVERPOOL maintained the contrary of thece opinions,
and said he would undertake to chew, whenever the cinstion came to
be discussed, that the expence so incurred was both Justifiable and ne-
cessary.
Earl DARNLEY made his promised motion, charging the Board of
Admiralty with great mismanagement in conducting nav,ll operations
against America. He had no hope of being able to persuade their Lord-
ships to institute any inquiry, but trusted they would turn the subjei.t
in their minds, and should content himself with moving an adjourn•
meta.
Lord MEIN ILLS replied to the Motion of Earl Darnley, which w.s

On the Order of the Day for fur, her considering the New Pnst
-Office Bill, a long discussion arose, in which Mr. Holtne Sumner, Ntr.
Baring, and the Members for the City of London participated. alt •
Simmer forcibly renewed his objeLtions, not only against the ?Ilea-
suies altogether, but more particularly against the mode in which
the City of London intended to defray its share of the expense; nanie-
ly, from the Orphan's Fund. This fund arose from a duty on Z I
coals brought to the port of London ; the citizens of London, and the
inhabitants of some of the adjacent countries, would therefore be
taxed for a public work, from which they would derive no more be.
nefit than the other subjects of the empire. The City Members de-
fended the metsure, and after several divisions, the Bill was enminit-
tcd. and ..243,0t.'01. voted to pay such part of the t-A.penk.e as will be

E.I4ZA_TTo!

On the motion of Lord C A sriea EACH. the House resolved itself
into a Committee of Supply. for the purpose
.of
,c9osidering the Comm.
vention between the Prince Regent and the Soverettn of the Nether.
lands. The expences to be incurred by this country arose, he said,
from three causes ; first, the cession of Guadeloupe to Sweden ; se•
condly, the expence of the fortifications in the Netherlands ; and,
thirdly, the Russian loan in that country. He moved cite Resolution
only, that provision be made out of the Consolidated Fund to grant
196,0001. to his Majesty, &c. to enable him to make good his engage,
silent with the Emperor of Rusria.
Mr. TILRNCY admitted that these. arrangements might be all very
proper; but he wished. to ask, " Why is Engjand to pay for them ?"
Holland, he thought, would have been satisfied if the Colonies had
been given up in exchange for the. Netherlands. The House, if they
calculated, would find that they vivre binding the country for 93
years for the payment of the debt. But then it was said, that they
would make Holland fall in love with us—watt, that was true.—But
if every one who had plundered us was to fall in love with us, we
shotild have more friends than relations--Mr. Baultes, Sir 1 Newport,
and Mr. Baring, likewise reprobated the grant; on a division, the 'no-
tion was canted by 104 against 19.—Adjoutted.

THE HUDiG ET-

On bringing forward the Budget this week, the Chan'
cellor of the Exchequer has satisfactorily explained the
reasons which rendered a loan of unusual magnitude ne-
cessary. 7'wenty-one. millions of arrears remained to be
paid, for which, even had not the peace been interrupted,
a provision must have been made. Ile also stated that
should the war continue, the public expenditure would
next year be diminished between four and five and twenty
millions. It is also highly satisfactory that no new
taxes have limn proposed.
