HIS MAJESTY.—The Morning Papers bad
stated that His MAJESTY has at length deter,
mined to visit Scotland, and we can confidently
ly
affirm, from indisputable authority, that sock
the fact. The people of Scotland, in consetltinc,:
of His MAJESTY'S visit to Ireland and t°
Hanoverian dominions, have fully dePende
gn 5
on enjoying the same honour. Prepara"-11,
have been made in various quarters t° re
ceive His MAJESTY, and it *is highly Pr°l::
ble that the beauties of the country) and nil
charm attending a region of martial renown
,e his
classic antiquity, will abundantly recompen—
MAJESTY for the honour which he will colfer
so loyal a pakt of his Empire.

Some of the accounts of the revolt of the
Royal Guards at Madrid state, that the 105°
e' d
which
person led the constitutional forces %v..- ,5
feated the frantic project for re-establishing "4,
arbitrary power. We shall very much rejoice.sre
the truth of this statement be confirmed. 1,,v
may be allowed, however, to doubt the real'
of an action, which would imply more decisi°
of character than FERDINAND has listiallY erti
—hibitO. If true, it must tend very nlll—

to strengthen him iu the affections and confi-
dence of the Constitutional Party. A pri-
vate letter received in Paris states that the
Duke de L'INFANTADO, and 128 persons, who
had been the chiefs of the conspiracy, were
arrested. Accounts are said to have been re-
ceived from Andalusia, announcing that the re-
volted Carbineers in that province had been en-
tirely destroyed by the militia of Beyalance.

A report prevails in the City that M. ZEA and
the whole of the Columbian Mission have been
recalled ; but other information says he is going
t° return, owing to the unfavourable state of his
health.
It is also stated on 'Change that two columns
°I. French troops have entered Spain, but the
'yell-informed Spaniards do not give credit to it.

In a preceding column we have given extracts
from the French Paper.; of Sunday, and from
Dutch and German Papers which have arrived
'ince our last.

Mr. Born and Mr. MENzrEs, the Scottish
Counsel «ho have incurred the displeasure of the
Rouse of Commons by presuming to vindicate
their character in contravention of its privileges,
have arrived in town, and will this evening ap-
Pear at the Bar of the House, in pursuance of its
order, issued for that purpose yesterday se'n-
night. Before we proceed to offer a few tempe-
rate remarks on this affair, we may be permitted,
with the utmost deference to the pleasure and
discretion of the House, to express a feeling of
regret, that, at a moment's notice, and with an
interval of seven days °nig allowed for a journey
of eight hundred miles, Gentlemen should be hur-
ried from so great a distance, and, after travel-
ling night and day, without one hour's rest,
should be compelled to stand on their defence,
" it were, immediately on their arrival, before
they have recovered from the severe fatigue of a
journey performed under such circumstances,
and before they have had any time to prepare
themselves for meeting the charges against them,
or for enduring with firmness those sensations of
awe, which the known displeasure of the British
House of Commons cannot fail to excite. There

is an appearance of oppression and cruelty in this
Proceeding, from which we are sure that the
itstiee and humanity of the House would revolt,
-:the probable consequences of so much precipi-
they had occurred to it ; particularly when it is
considered that the respectable parties, who
.havp
thus been dragged before it, are not
a
-rge.4A
with any crime,—are not accused of
aving in any respect infringed the ordinary
of the country but are merely de-
clared guilty of having violated the privileges
qParliarnent,—not from any wanton intention
' impugning its collective dignity, or of pre-
fl,, u4lPtuously opposing its power,—but for the
fBoleMPurpose of vindicating their own characters
r the aspersions said to have been cast upon
illern by an individual Member,—and which
asPersions they declare to be groundless, unwar-
ranted, and false ! We say nothing of the injury
1114°1 may have been inflicted on the interests of
"41erous parties, by the sudden removal of two
"tlinent Counsel from the discharge of their
Prafessional duties.—When it is considered that
violence of the journey which they have been
°reed to perform might even prove fatal to per-
s°lls Whose constitution is not robust, and when
4 reflect that the delay of a few days could not
leave defeated or in any manner affected the in-
on
vetlti°lls of the House, we feel that the transac.
l
assumes a semblance of harshness and arbi-
trary severity, which, when distinctly recognized,
mast prevent its repetition.--As to the object of the
Proe„.
15,.! 'wog itself, the collective body of the people
0111 no doubt have their eyes on the conduct of
lejr
representatives this day. In so far as the
ai"
st"sttre which they have adopted, of laying a re-
11t Mr. ABERCIIOMBY, and of bringing
4 lIOPE and Mr. MENziEs before them, has a
Lerley to prevent the effusion of blood, they
Igoe the approbation and gratitude of the country.
s° far as they have vindicated their own pm-
svi!gles from any irregularity or impropriety
may have occurred in the course of de-
lee Pursued by Messrs. MENZIES and HOPE,
OfetYl are suppoyted by the respect and good sense
qw-le PeePle• But the justice of the case re-
something more than all this. If the Ite-
Port of
td lYir. ABERCPMMIVY'S speech, as publish-
l‘lr.lll the Morning Chronicle, was incorrect,
Di AnEßcuoNtny ought to disavow, in his
Ifa 75 the expressions attributed to him.—
le does not disavow the serious charges
againstbi the honour and character of two respect-
the Public
but which he is said to have uttered,
A 44 tiblic must conclude that he is really their
an
110
-,
~• it those charges were, as Mr. IforE
r. MENZIES solemnly declare, utterly
false
and
and unfounded, then, --though there can be

no doubt that Mr. ABERCROMBY, in advancing
them, was solely actuated by conscientious mo-
tives, And did nothing more than, in the discharge
of his duty, and with the correct or incorrect in-
formation which he had received, he conceived
was 'required of him,—it does seem, that,
while the House inflicts its displeasure fo r
the breach of privilege on the one hand, it
is on the other called upon in justice to
admonish Mr. ABERCROMBN in particular, and
its Members in general, against rashly making
charges upon private character, under the shelter
of Parliamentary privilege, the truth of which
charges they have not taken every possible
pains to ascertain. In the present instance, it
is evident that the Honourable Member had
not made due inquiry into the truth of the
allegations which he brought before the House,
since, if any' investigation had been instituted,
he must immediately have learnt that Mr. HoPE
was not Counsellor ALEXANDER; and therefore
that the whole of the charges against him, which
were founded on that presumption,were ground less.
Supposing the speech of Mr. ABERCROMBY to have
been properly reported, therefore, and supposing
the
,allegations contained in that speech to have
arisen from misinformation ; it seems clear that
some act of reparation is due to those injur-
ed individuals who are precluded from seek-
ing redress from the laws, and who have
been restrained by the House from obtaining
the satisfaction of Gentlemen on a field of ho-
nour. As yet, the House has only admonished
Mr. ABERCROMBY not to prosecute any quarrel
which may arise out of his Parliamentary con-
duct. If the view which we have taken of
the affair be a just one, it is not too much to
expect that it should instruct the SPEAKER fur-
ther to admonish him of the precipitancy and
presumed rashness of his language ;—that, while
it protects its Members even from the con-
sequences of their own imprudence on the one
haud, it is bound to exhibit the utmost de-
licacy of feeling and judgment toward those
by whom it is appointed, on the other. Mr.
FORBES, we hope, will repeat the just sentiments
which he has already expressed on this subject;
and enforce them with that manly firmness which
belongs to the advocacy of truth, and to the con-
scientious discharge of an obvious duty.

Letters from Santiago de Chili, of the 11th
March, received by way of Buenos Ayres, state
that General SAN MARTIN embarked on the 7th
of February for Guayaquil, to hold a conference
with General BOLIVAR. Troops had left Callao
by sea for Arequipa to attack La Serna, who had
retired on Cuzco. In Chili all was tranquil.—
The predatory Chief BENAVIDES had been taken
prisoner and executed. Some troops were about
to embark to take possession of the Island of
Chiloe. The exportation of wheat had been
prohibited, on account of the failure of the crops.
Yesterday, at half-past twelve o'clock, the
KING left town in his travelling carriage for Kew,
where his MAJESTY spent the day.
THE DQKE or YORK'S LEVEE.—Yesterday
the Duke of YORK, as Commander-in-Chief,
held a Levee at his Office in the Hope Guards,
which was attended by General Coffin, Lieut.-
General Scott, Major-General Nicolls, Major-
General Stewart, and about thirty others.—
Lieut.-General Sir William Lumley was pre-
sented to his Royal Highness on his return from
Bermuda.

CHELMSFORD, JULY 15.—The celebration of
the Anniversary of the KING'S Coronatio►► will
take place on Friday, the 19th instant, at the
Black Boy Inn. It is expected to be nume-
rously attended, being also the day appoinLed
for the celebration of the Birth-day of the im-
mortal WILLIAM PITT.

The Marquis of WATERFORD is assuredly to
be raised to the dignity of a Duke of that part
of the United Kingdom called Ireland. The
creation of another Irish Duke is spoken of—
but not with equal certainty. We are happy
to think that we shall soon cease to bear of the
sickening distinction of " Ireland's only Duke."—
(Dublin Patriot.)
The Sovereign of Armagh has pointedly con-
tradicted the statement in a Dublin Paper of se-
veral persons having suddenly quitted that city
since the arrest of the suspected traitors. Not a
single person has disappeared from that place
since the event alluded to.

The cause to which several of the Newspapers
have attributed poor EMERY'S indisposition is
erroneous. lie has neither had a "fit," npr is
he " ipeechless." Ills disorder arises from a
complete general debility, and which, it is much
feared by the faculty, will terminate upon the
lungs.
We are truly sorry that we cannot announce
to our readers the termination of the differences
between the master manufacturers and the
weavers. The latter walk in procession twice
each day to their usual place of meeting, where
e. report is regularly given of the'proceedings of
their Committee, and the answers returned by
the masters to their applications. It was stated
at one of the late meetings that the struggle was
nearly at an end, and that a great majority of the
masters had signified their intention to abide by a
certain standard-width of ribbon which had been
then proposed, and the prices issued in 1819.—
(Coventry Mercnry.)
On Thursday last, an inhabitant of Blean Com-
mon, named Hooker, having occasion to go to an inclosure in
which was a bull, that he had been long used to, and which
had not previously appeared viciously disposed, the animal ran
at him, and before the poor man could escape, wounded him in
the belly so severely, as to occasion his death yesterday morn.
ing, in the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, where he was taken
to, soon after the accident.—( Kentish Gazette, July 16.)

FOR THE SUN.

ACTORS.

MR. EDITOR—You lately inserted a letter
that appeared in a Morning Paper which stated
that " almost all the principal Performers at
Covent Garden have declined to continue their
engagements," and that " the frequenters of the
playhouse are, next season, to be deprived of the
pleasure they have experienced for several years
in witnessing the exertions of Mr. YOUNG, Mr.
MACREADY, and Mr. LISTON, and in listening to
the sweet notes of Miss STEPHENS." The writer
of the letter, which is signed DIIAMATICUS, without
expressing any direct censure against the Ma-
nagers, leaves the Public to infer that the de-
privation of so many favourites is owing to the
conduct of the former. You state that your
reason for inserting the letter in question was to
afford the Managers " an opportunity of contra-
dicting what might be the result of private ma-
levolence, or of giving a satisfactory explanation,
if founded in truth." This was a liberal idea,
Mr. Editor, but it was not to be supposed
that the Managers would come before the
public upon anonymous allegations, or without
necessity. Now, Sir, would it not have been
fair in Mr. DRAMATICUS, if he thought proper to
introduce the subject in a public print, to sup-
pose that, if the Performers in question are
really about to leave the Theatre, there may
possibly be something in their own conduct which
requires an explanation of their reasons, as well as
one from the Managers for not complying with
them ?—Our great Bard has said that " Lowliness
is young ambition's ladder," and it is very com-
mon, when Actors attain a certain height of po-
pularity, and think that Managers cannot do
without them, to demand such an increase of
salary as the circumstances of the Theatre will
not admit. It is well known that Actors are
paid much higher at present than what at
former periods was paid to Actors of the
most distinguished abilities ; and perhaps' if
the salaries of some of the most eminent Per-
formers of the present day were stated to the
public, the latter would have no reason to blame
the Managers, if they refused to increase them.
It is well known that both of the Patent Theatres
of the metropolis have been, for many years,
under great embarrassment, and are still loaded
with heavy burthens. Ought those burthens to
fall only on the backs of the Proprietors, mad is
it reasonable to press upon them for an increase
of salary at such a period of difficulty ? It should
be observed that to the patronage of Managers
Performers are indebted for an opportunity of
appearing before the public, and acquiring that
popularity upon which they found their preten-
sions to an augmentation of income, when perhaps
it is fully adequate to what their talents might
justly demand. 1 do not mean to insinuate that
such is the case with the respectable Performers
whose names are introduced in the letter alluded
to, but only to recommend to the public a candid
and just consideration of the difficulties under
which both the Patent Theatres are at this time
labouring, and also of the constant expence at-
tending every night's performance, besides rent,
taxes, &c. &c. however capricious may be the
taste of the times, and however attractive other
exhibitions of various kinds may prove.
Piazza Coffee-House, July 15. VINDEX.

ENGLISH OPERA house.—We are sorry to
hear that Miss CAREW has been suddenly taken
ill, and, in consequence, her part in the new farce
of Alt in the Dark was assigned last, and • the
preceding night, to Mrs. IVEtepART, late Miss
STEPHENSON. The talents and the private con-
duct of Miss CAREw must induce the public to
regret her cbsence, and more particularly its
cause ; but, in justice to Mrs. WrAprALIT, it is
proper to state that she has proved a very good
substitute, and that All in the Dark threw a new
light upon her abilities. The little wonder, Miss
CLARA FISHER, last night again excited the sur-
prize, and drew forth the applause, of a numerous
audience, by the, spirit, humour, and variety
which she exhibited in Little Pickle, and in The
Actress of Work.

NOBLE AND GENEROUS ACT.—Tuesday week,
being his half-yearly rent day, TIIO3IAS STRICKLAND, Esq.
assembled his tenantry at Sizergh, where they partook of an
excellent dinner, and after the cloth was drawn, and a few
agricultural sentiments were drunk, Thomas Strickland,
Esq. rose, and expressed himself to the following purport :
" Gentlemen, it is the first time I have had the pleasure of
meeting my tenantry on'such an occasion ; and I do assure
you, 1 am highly gratified in seeing you all around me, and
it shall always be my endeavour to shew you every possible in-
dulgence, to make you comfortable. lam thoroughly convinced
you have used every exertion, during the depressed state of the
times ; and from the various reports I have read, and from my
own local knowledge, I well know that the distress of the agri-
culturist is great. I have, therefore, given orders to my agent to
draw his pen across all arrears due to me previous to last Christ-
mas." The heartfelt gratitude of the tenantry, tier this noble
act of their generous landlord, was expressed in a manner which
made the ancient ball re-echo. This is an act which needs no
comment.—( Lancaster Gazette. )

A fatal accident happened on Saturday last to
a lad, about 13 years old, named Wm. Rouse, whose father is
house carpenter in Sheerness dock-yard. The deceased, with
some other boys, went to bathe in the sea, from off the ram-
parts at the back of the garrison, and began to swim in con-
test with some of his companions, when, it is supposed, they
got too far out into the current, the place being near the garrison
point, which overpowered the deceased ; some soldiers being
near the spot at the time, and observing the dangerous situa-
tion of the unfortunate lad, several of them jumped into the
water to his assistance, but without effect ; the body was, how-
ever, soon afterwards picked up, and carried home to his in-
consolable father. The deceased was a very steady lad, and
the only hope of his parent amid an accumulation of grief.

We regret to state that a' poor woman, aged
74, was drowned on Thursday night, whilst in bed, in the
kitchen of a respectable citizen, residing in Grafton-street, in
consequence of the vaults being flooded by means of the great
rain. We understand that the water rose very nearly five feet
high in the kitchens of this house. The deceased had lived
upwards of 30 years with her master. Many houses in differ-
ent parts of the city were flooded in a similar manncr._(Dublin
lkforning Post.)
