German Papers to the 3d instant arrived this
morning, and contain the following articles :---
" AUGSBERG, MAY 4.—Accounts from Naples
of the 20th April inform us, that the Neapolitan
squadron, consisting of the Capri ship of the line,
the Syren frigate, and the brigantine Calabrese,
which had bee❑ on a cruize in the Adriatic, had
returned into port. The disarming of the coun-
try proceeded rapidly after the establishment of
the military tribunals. The four Juntas had
commenced their inquiries into the late conduct
of individuals. Some persons had been con-
demned.in their absence, but none of them had
fallen into the hands of justice. One Paolo
Ruggeiro was sentenced to death by a court-
martial on the 18th April, for concealment of
arms, and executed. Four persons, who were
taken as they were going to escape on board a
Spanish ship, were to be tried on the 23d April.
It was thought that only one of them, who had
his certificate as a Carbonaro about him, would
be shot."—( Jillgenteinc Zeitung, May 5.)
" LEMI3ERG, Aram 18.—The Boyars had re-
ceived orders to remain in the country, and not
to leave it on any pretext whatever ; in fact,
many of those who have emigrated have returned.
It is, however, evident, from all their proceed-
ings, that they obey this order solely from com-
pulsion, and that, far from taking any share in
the troubles, they only wait for a favourable op-
portunity to withdraw again. How little even
the Chiefs of the Revolution believe in the suc-
cess of their enterprise appears from the fact that
they too seek •to put their valuable effects in a
place of security, and even those of the Prince
are brought to the frontiers.

" From Galacz we learn, that the Turks in
the fortresses are continually receiving reinforce-
ments, but that they had received orders to be
passive for the present, and not to pass the fron-
tier till further orders. According to all appear-
ance, they mean to advance with a very superior
force, and to put au end to these troubles at
once.

4C BELGRADE, APRIL 12.—Accounts from
Constantinople say, the Turkish Agent had
spread a report of a great victory obtained by
the Sultan's troops over Ali Paella; but it was
afterwards known that Ali had surprised the
camp of Paella Bey, echo narrowly escaped be-
ing made prisoner. Ali is said to have advanced
to Previsa, and that 6000 Albanians had returned
to the standard of their former master."—
Frankfort Papers, illaN 8.)

There seems to be an intention on the part of
the opposition writers to bring THE QUEEN for-
ward again, in order to perplex Government, and
to excite renewed disturbances in the country.
The late retired conduct of THE QUEEN might
induce us to hope that she hatl rescued herself
from those evil counsellors who supported her
cause for the purpose of raising themselves into
notoriety. The report, however, that she has
written to Lord LIVERPOOL, desiring to know
how she is to be disposed of at the Coronation,
and what ladies are appointed to attend her on
that occasion, if well founded, would seem to she w
that she is still in the hands of her pretended friends,
but in reality her enemies and the enemies of the
country. It is not yet known, though confi-
dently rumoured, whether the QUEEN has sent
mach a letter to Lord LIVERPOOL, but if she has, I

it must occasion embarrassment to the Noble
Lord, for as the trial terminated without a
sentence of guilty, her MAJESTY'S claims may be
conceived to exist as if no trial had taken place.
Indeed it may well be doubted whether the
QUEEN has written the letter in question, for
such is the officiousness or treachery of those
whose advice has been injurious to her through
the whole proceedings, that we think it would
have found its way to the public. There is,
however, another report in confident circulation,
stating that her MAJESTY has avowed her positive
determination to be present at the Coronation,
46 unless she should be forced out of the country)
or confined in her person."

Advices were received yesterday from Wo de
Janeiro, dated March 10, which is five (lays later
than the packet. It appears that the KING,
after a long deliberation, has abandoned his in-
tention of returning to Portugal. On the 9th
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had a
long interview with the KING; in the course of
which he submitted to him various arguments to
show the impolicy of quitting Brazil ; and the
same evening, at a Council of Ministers, the
Royal intention of remaining was announced.
Mercantile letters from New York, dated in
April, afford the pleasing intelligence, that com-
mercial affairs in that quarter of the globe had
assumed a more favourable appearance, and that
the demand for British manufactures was daily
increasing.
Yesterday. Count MUNSTER. had an audience
of his MAJESTY.

Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA dined with
the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The
Duchess of Gloucester, Princess Augusta, the
Princess Sophia, and the Duchess of Kent,
accompanied by the Infant Princess Vittoria,
visited the Duchess of Clarence.—Prince LEO-
rorm's grand Party took place last night, at
Marlborough House, previous to which the
Duchess of Kent dined with his Royal Highness.
Mr. CANNING was present during the sitting
of the French Chamber of Deputies on Thurs-
day. The Right Hon. Gentleman had a seat in
the Tribune reserved for the Corps Diploma-
dune.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO an. LANE: TITEAtIE.
, „

Last night her MAJESTY paid this Theatre a
visit, for which, as being quite unexpected, both
Mr. ELLISTON and the audience were,,of couree,
unprepared. She came attended by hard
,and
Lady HOOD, and ,a youth, Who was understood
to be Master AUSTIN, Her MAJESTY, on en-
tering the house, took her seat in the box imme-
diately opposite to the KING'S, and'some Mo-
ments elapsed before she was recognized.
Her MAJESTY looked in excellent health, and
her dress was peculiarly elegant. She wore a

I robe of figured satin, confined by a pink sash;
and her head dress was a white satin hat, turned
up )vith pink,and decorated with three large ostrich
feathers. As soon as the audience understood
she was present, a simultaneous burst of ap-
plause was heard from all parts of the house, and
her MAJESTY came forward and acknowledged,
in the-Most condescending manner, the fervent
reception she experienced. Cries of " God save
the Queen" were now reiterated with a vehement
vociferation which it would -be impossible to
describe; but it appeared that the singers were
not in attendance, and the consequence was, that
the two first acts of Marino Faller°, the play
announced for the night, passed off in dumb
show, amidst groans, howlings, hisses, and all the
other impediments that indignant resentment
could offer. At length Mr. ELLISTON came for-
ward, and, bowing to the audience, addressed
them in the following terms :
" Ladies and Gentlemen—l am the Proprietor of this Thea-
tre ; it is therefore sufficient that I ask and knoit your cOrn-

mands; in order to obey them. 'What would you desire ?
(Loud cries of ' The Queen ! the Queen !) What am Ito
understand by "The Queen. ?' (We want Gon save the
Queen.') I speak with due respect to all who are present, and
I hope for your indulgence under the arduous circumstances in
which lam placed. All the singers are not present.—(A voice,
` Then let us have the tune from those who are present.') I
promise yow that, before the Afterpiece commences, the na-
tional air shall be sung."
These last words were followed by repeated
shouts of " Bravo !" and the remainder of the
play was suffered to proceed ivithout further in-
terruption. Giovanni in London was the enter-

tainment, and immediately on the rising of the
curtain the Doge of Venice (Mr. COOPER), on
whose neck the axe of the executioner was sup-

•
posed to have fallen the moment before, was seen
with his wife Angiolina (Mrs. WEST), joining
imps and furies in singing " God save the King,"
or " God save the Queen," as the audience would
have it. The performers, however, appeared
both out of tune and out of temper; for never
did any group of singers acquit themselves with

less satisfaction to those who heard them. Her
Majesty stood up during the time this unimpres-
sive tribute was paid to her, and bowed repeat-
edly to the audience. Having waited to see a
scene or two of the afterpiece, she left the The-

atre about ten o'clock, observing as she went out
the same privacy with which she entered. The
house was but partially filled, and the play did
not appear to gain many admirers by repetition.
In the afterpiece Miss CUBITT sustained the part
of Don Giovanni, and though an indifferent sub-
stitute for Madame VEsTais, was probably the
best that could be selected.—( Morning _Herald.)
