BA NITS OF THE DANUBE. APRIL s.s.

Letters from Vienna say, that the French Ambas-
sador at that Cana, the Marquis of Caraman, has
communicated to the Austrian Government the plan
which France is to pursue with regard to Spain, an-
nouncing at the same time its approbation by the Ca-
binet of St. Petersburgh. According to this plan of
operation, Madrid is to be entered—a Government is
to be established there in the name of Ferdinand—
the Cortes is to be re-established as heretofore, as
well as the ancient Consitution of Spain, regard
being, however, paid to times and circumstances.
It will then imitate the conduct of Austria to Naples'
and Piedmont. They are quite sure of the neutrality
of England, which, in a short time, they hope to find
perform the part of a mediator. As soon as the Duke
de Angouleme shall have arrived at Madrid, he is to
direct his attention to the formation of an army in the
name of Ferdinand. This army is to subdue Galicia
and Andalusia, and to force back to their allegiance
the Spanish Provinces which persevere in Revolts-
tionary principles. It does not appear that he has
any intention of proceeding further than Madrid;
neither is it known how long the French troops will
remain in Spain to protect the new order of things,
but it is hoped that their presence will not be long
necessary.

-The answer to the inquirers respecting the health
of his MAJESTY yesterday was, " 'The KING is better."
Should the KING carry into effect his projected ma-
rine excursions when Parliament shall adjourn, which,
before the introduction of the Irish examinations, was
calculated to take place by the middle of June,- nei-
ther Windsor Castle nor the Cottage in the Great
Park will be visited so frequently as was originally
intended. During the races on Ascot-heath, his
MAJESTY, should his health permit, will sojourn
at the Cottage, and will each day entertain the usual
distinguished guests after the race is over. These
constantly recurring fits of the gout, which, for the last
six months, have exceedingly annoyed the KING,
should they not be entirely got rid of, may occasion
the plan for the Royal Summer Amusement to be again
changed. His MAJESTY'S bodily health and spirits
are said to be excellent; but it requires ao small share.

of philosophical patience, to endure, with good-hu-
mour and equanimity, perpetual pain.
Mr. KENNET% new Opera, which had been read in
the Green-room at Drury-lane Theatre, has been
transferred to the little Theatre in the Haymarket,"
where it will be.produced as one of the early novelties.
The talents of Miss CHESTER, Madame VESTRI3, and
the laughter-exciting karotr, are all included in Mr.
KENNET'S Drama.

A popular wit is the reputed author of Mr. ALEX-
ANDRE'S New Entertainment, shortly to be pro-
duced at the Olympic Theatre, in which this eccen-

GRAND EATERTAIMWENT AT tHE
- MANSION-HOUSE:
Yesterday, the Entertainment which was po tp anid
s
from Easter Monday, in colisequence of the extensive
repairs in that building; took place. The Egyptian
Hall was most supeibly fitted up for the occasion;
but the number of tickets issued for the dinrer having
considerably exceeded what is usual, two of the spa-
cious apartments cn the same floor were appropriated
to the I eception of the later guests. The arrange-
ments made by the Committee were, however, such
as to prevent any long continued confusion in the
course of the arrival of a dinner party, consisting of
nearly five hundred individuals. The company ex-
perienced, in the change of the drawing-room, which
has been transferred from the second to the first floor,
a very great convenience. In the centre of the prin-
cipal table, opposite the LORD MAYOR, WAS placed
a splendid ornament, in bronze, containing cne of
Mr. GORDON'S portable gas lamps, sent front the
London Portable Gas Company's works, which was
universally admired for the classic correctness and
tastefulness of the design, together with the singu-
larly brilliant appearance of the gas. It consisted of
a richly ornamented stand; surmounted by a group
of figures, representing the second labour of Hercules
in the destruction of the Letnzan Hydra ; the story
of which is, that Heicules finding, when one bead of
the serpent was cut off another immediately suc-
ceeded in its place, caused his friend lolaus to form
flaming brands, which, as he cut off the heads, he
applied to the wounds, and thus destroyed the mon-
ster. The gas was skilfully introduced CO form the
blaze of the torch, and the forked tongues proceed-
ing from the three heads of the Hydra ; and the whole
had a striking and beautiful effect.
The LORD MAYOR, in the course of the morning,
received an apology from his Royal Highness the
Duke of CLARENCE, who was prevented'from honour-
ing the entertainment with his presence, by illness.
We were happy to see the Duke of Your, who sat on
the right of the LORD MAYOR, in excellent health.
Nerd to his Royal Highness sat Prince LEOPOLD.—

The.healtb of the King," " the Duke of York
and the Army," and " the Duke of Clarence and the
Navy," and the healths of the other branches of the
Royal Family having been drank with the greatest
applause,
The Duke of YORK rose to propose " the health of
the Lord Mayor," which was drank with the usual
testimonies of approbation.
The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said, that
when he took upon him the office, lie had promised
to maintain the hospitality and splendour which ought
to he expected from the Chief Magistrate of such a
City. He trusted he had succeeded in doing so. No
exertion had, he assured the company, been spared
upon his part to render his Mayoralty deserving of
their approbation.
" The health of the Lady Mayoress" was then
drank, and the Loan MAYOR returned thanks for her
Ladyship, and said, that it had been her anxious wish
to render the house, agreeable not only to those who
came on official business, but to the Members of the
Corporation in general, and all Who had a claim on
Civic hospitality.
" The health of the Earl of Harrowby" next fol-
lowed, after which the healths of the Earl of West.
moreland, the Earl of Liverpool, and the rest of his
Majesty's Ministers were drank. The Loito MAYOR
in proposing those healths, said, that since he had sat
in Parliament he had supported the measures of Mi-
nisters, because be believed they were directed towards
the prosperity of the country. To their measures the
country owed the preservation of peace. "
The Earl of HARROWBY, in returning thanks, as-
sured the company, that whatever might be the
effects of their measures, their object was the pro-
sperity of the country, as well as the honour of the
City of London, over which the Lord • Mayor so
worthily presided.
" The health of the Duke of Argyle, and the rest
of the Nobility who honoured the City with their
presince," was then drank. After which
The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the
Duke of Wellington," to whose prowess in arms it was
owing that the country was in its present state of safety.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, in returning thanks,
said, that the manner in which the compliment had
been paid him convinced him of its sincerity. It was
"oracularly gratifying to him to receive the thanks
of the Citizens of London in the presence of a Mem-
ber of the Royal Family, and of some of the Minis-
ters under whose auspices he had acted against the
enemies of his country.
After several other health* bad been drank, the
hour for the reception of the evening party arrived,
and the dinner party rose.—The rooms were soon
crowded, and the dancing commenced at half-pastl
ten, The Ball was opened by the daughter of Sit
C. HUNTER and the Bavarian Miniger• and all was
delightful to a late hour.

The British Press is quite right, in not•aiserting,
" in direct opposition to the Star, that a fleet is tic,*
preparing by us for" the West Indies. The fleet it
there already. When speaking of the probable designs
of the French on Cuba, as far back as the 12th of last
month, we made the follow ing statement, cif the ecii recta
ness of which the Public may continue to rest assured.
ig Whatever course matters may take, it is satisfac:
tory to find that our Government have not been in-
attentive to possible results, and that there is already
a fleet in the West Indies strong enough to enforce
whatever may, in any event, be necessary lot
the interests of England:"— We agree with the
Press, that if the French have any designs on
the island of Cuba, they are utterly at issue
with the policy of England ;" nor do we conceal
from ourselves that the system of neutrality which
we have at present so wisely resolved to follow, runs
a greater chance of being endangered by designs on
the other side of the Atlantic, than in any other part
within the probable sphere of French ambition.
Mr. THOMAS MOTTLEY, of Portsmouth, that active

time of her capture.

OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.—(FrODI the Dublin Jour-
nal of Monday).—The outrages in the South are
daily assuming a more daring character. Tuesday
niglit, a party of insurgents, supposed from Donor,
attacked the Palatine village of Glanasheen, in the
county of Cork, and burned four houses, including the
Police Barracks. A party of the 71st Regiment
saved the village, and probably the lives of the whole
of its inhabitants. In the counties of Cork, Kerry, and
ILimerick, the insurrection rages with unabated fury;
and those principles which lead to the Rock system
seem to be extending to other quarters of Ireland. The
severity of all legal measures hitherto adopted aPpears
to have had little or no effect in checking the outrages,
and certainly it has had no influence on the minds
of the people, who seem to actfrom aconv ict ion of their
right to dispossess tenants and regulate the price ofland.
Whatever may be said to the contrary, we feel con-
vinced that Captain Rock has nothing political or re-
ligious in his system ; it is the pressure of rent and
tithe which he wishes to shake off, and his means
for the accomplishment of his object is the terror in-
' spired by his atrocities.

This
,day the prisoners who stood committed OR
charges of felony were removed from the several

The Sessions of the Peace for the County of Mid-.
dieser will begin at the Sessions House, on Clerkend
well-green, on Tuesday next, the 13th inst. when
the trials of traversers, and others out on bail, on
matters of assault, nuisance, and misdemeanours, will
be proceeded on.

An Inquest was held yesterday afternoon at the
Lord Somers' Arms, Grenville-street, Somers' Town,
before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. Coroner, on the body
of Mr..G. CARR, many years Prompter to Drury_

an Saturday, about twelve o'clock, Mr. Puleston, a
neighbour, was sent for to Mr. CA ntes house, No. I I,
Sydney street, Somers' Town, as Air. Cane was very
ill ; but just as Mr. Pulestun had got to the house,
Mr. CARR died. A surgeon was sent for, and he at-
tempted to bleed him, but it was of no avail. The de:
ceased had been unwell for some time, but he had
been out on Friday. The Jury returned a verdict of

Tuesday night, a shopman to a •linen-draper in
Tottenham-court-road, put a night-capon a barber's
block, which he laid in the maid-servant's bed un:
known to any one, by way of a lark. The maidgoing
to bed last of the family, and seeing the appearance
of a man's head in her bed, dropped the candle in
her fright, which set fire to the sheets, and the blase
ccommunicated to her apron and gown. She run
'down stairs with fire above and below ; her screams
alarmed the family, who got up and hastened to her
assistance, and extinguished her clothes by rolling
her in a carpet and throwing a pail of water over her.
'They ran up stairs, and found the room in flames ;
'but, with the assistance of a dozen more pails of
' water, they succeeded in extinguishing them, but not
before the bed, bedding, and some of the 'furniture
were destroyed. The unfortunate girl was much
burnt in the face and hands. Such often are the fatal
effects of fooling.
