b. said, Without a suspicion of loyal supersti-
tion, that our Monarch seemed on this occasion,
by the grandeur of his person, and the whole of
bia demeanor, to represent the Majesty of the
British Empire• If .I,e may judge, too, from
the applauding shouts which attended his pro-
gress,from his Palace to the Theatre, and the ac-
clamations which burst forth from the vast mul-
titude, that filled it, upon every occasion that re-
ferred to loyal feelings, we may add, that he
obviously reigns in th© hearts of his subjects, and
that his throne is fixed on a rock of loyalty which
may bid defiance to any attempts that force, ar-
tifice, or treachery might employ to shake its foun-
dation,

The Boston Papers to the sth ult. present us
with a piece of intelligence which will excite
some surprise. The Canadas, it seems, are to
pass from the British Crown to the United States,
by purchase, unless the free navigation of thei St.
Lawrence can be obtained.

PIIRCIIASE OF THE CANADAS.
" A question of great magnitude has been agitated in the
Atlantic Papers, relative to the free navigation of the river St.
Lawrence, anti the transfer of the Canada,. It has been
prorated to open negociations immediately with the British,
to obtain this right, and, in case of failure, to purchase the
Canada'.

.. "Should negociations be opened, we are inclined to believe
tttel would terminate favourably, if we urge the principle, suc-
•.,!cessfully contended for by the British Government in her
featies with other European Powers, that a nation inhabiting
re: bank or banks of a river, above, has the right to ascend or
1 eend it, from and to the ocean—even through the territory of

THE THEATRE.

MS MAJESTY.

We never remember so great a crowd as as-
sembled before Drury-Lane last night, or rather
yesterday afternoon, to witness the entrance of
his MAJESTY, nor did we ever before see the in-
terior of the Theatre so completely occupied.
There was no vacant space in any part of the
House.
His Majesty and suite left his Palace, in
Pall-Mall, about a quarter before seven o'clock,
in five royal carriages, escorted by a party
of Life Guards, and proceeded through
Cockspur-street, the Strand, Bedford-street,
Henrietta and Russell-streets. The Royal
procession attracted crowds of spectators, and
most of the windows of the houses were filled.
The Shakspeare Tavern, opposite Brydges-street,
was illuminated with " G. It." and the Crown
in variegated lamps. His Majesty's arrival at the
Theatre was announced by a flourish of trumpets.
Viscount Lake, as Lord in Waiting, was in the
carriage with his Majesty. The other attend-
ants in the Royal Suite were the Lord Steward :
the Duke of Wellington, as Colonel of the Royal
Horse Guards; the Gold Stick in waiting; the
Vice-Chamberlain ; Mr. Brent, the Deputy
Comptroller of the Household ; Lord Francis
Conyngham ; Sir Hilgrove, Turner, and Sir
Edmund Nagle, the Grooms in Waiting ; Mr.
Mash, senior, and Mr. Mash, junior, the Gen-
tlemen Ushers in Waiting ; Colonel Vivian, the
Equerry it, waiting ; Mr. Gardner, the Groom
of the Great Chamber, in waiting ; the Silver
Stick in waiting ; the Page of Honour in wait-
ing ; the Exon in waiting ; the Lieutenant of
the eoman Guard. His Majesty was received
by Mr. Elliston, Mr. Winston, and Mr. Bunn,
(the stage-manager), in full court-dresses, with
wax candles. They conducted his Majesty to
the Royal box, where they had previously placed
bills of the play printed on white satin. The box
is situated immediately over the stage, on the
right band side as you look from the stage towards
the audience. It has been newly and very ele.
gautly fitted up and decorated. It was lined with
scarlet, hung with Waterloo blue drapery, and
ornamented with fringe in imitation of gold lace.
The back was lighted with Grecian lamps rest.
lug on handsome gilt pillars. It was surmounted
with a carved gilt 'canopy, having at its apex a
splendid crown. The front of the box was di-
vided into three pannels, that in the centre bear-
ing his Majesty's arms, richly emblazoned in
gold, on a blue velvet ground ; thee other two
pannels presented a plaited surface of blue velvet,
surrounded by gold moulding. His Majesty's pri-
vate room, near the Royal box, has also been fitted
up with great splendour. In the centre there is a
large or-moulu lustre, with 8 Grecian burners.—
There are ten other Grecian lamps; also a fine
chimney and two pier glasses. The ornaments
are scarlet, and covered with scarlet cloth. In
the centre, under the or-moulu lustre, there is a
table of the Corinthian order, on which were two
large bouquets in splendid gilt vases. The sides
of the room are ornamented with gilt cornices.
Almost precisely at 7 o'clock his Majesty appear-
ed in his box, and was received with the most en-
thusiastic plaudits from every part of the house.
The acclamations, which resounded on all sides,
were answered by His Majesty, who bowed re-
peatedly to the audience. Silence being obtained,
after a lapse of several minutes, the curtain rose,
and the theatrical corps, which mustered in un-
usual strength, proceeded to sing, "God save
the King." Miss Povey, Miss Stephens, and
Mr. Braliatn, executed a verse each. The chorus
was filled up by the greet body of vocal per-
formers, aided by no inconsiderable portion of
the audience. When the song was conclud-
ed, its repetition was very generally demanded,
and it was again performed, amidst loud ex-
pressions of approbation. The Comedy of The
Hypocrite was then represented. His Majesty,
who appeared to enjoy good health and spirits,
paid the most marked attention to the passing
scene ; and when any particular excellence was
displayed by the actor, he was by no means a
niggard of his applause. Liston's performance
of illaw.worm more especially arrested his at-
tention. He laughed most heartily at Liston's
richly-comic delineation of the ignorant fanatic,
and applauded it with great fervour. The
audience were so delighted, that they encored
Mato-worm's sermon at the close of the Comedy ;
and though this great public favourite was very
tardy in answering the call, they would not be
refused. After the play, God save the King was
again performed ; and Rule Britannia was also
sung. The pleasant farce of Love, Law, and
Physic, followed. Liston's Lubin Log, which is
'le very essence of laughable absurdity, elicited
laughter from his Majesty. At the con-
clusion of the farce, God save the King was re-
peated, and his Majesty retired from the Theatre
amidst the same warm marks of affection whict
marked his entry.

The Prince of Leiningen (son of the Duchess
of Kent) sat in Prince Leopold's box, attended
by Captain Conroy.
The customary arrangements was made by Sir
Richard Birnie, the Chief Magistrate of the Po-
lice, to preserve order. The whole of the day
patrol were stationed in Russell street and its
vicinity. Townsend, Sayer, Bibhop, and others
of the principal officers, were also in attendance.
Sir Richard Birth, and Mr. Halls, one of the
Magistrates of Bow-street-office, were in waiting
at the theatre.

Mr. PEARMAN, of the Covent-Garden Theatre

has been engaged at New York, and made hi;
first appearance on Wednesday evening, in the
character of Count Beano, in The Devil's Bridge.
It is said, that " in addition to the most consuin-
mate science and unrivalled voice, this gentle.
man's acting powers exceed any thing hitherto
witnessed in the operatic class." This is damn-

ing with faint praise.—(Philadelphia Papir,
Nov. 7.)

accident has huppened to Lord DACRE, which
