root. and Mst.vzw.e are no more disposed to enacede
to Marqms W nusuct and Mr. CANNING, than the
Lords LANSDOWN lc and HOLLAND are to depart from
their politiLal allegiance to the Lords Gner and
GRENVILLE.

If neither of the patties can be induced to give up
the points that have bethertr, prevented union, it seems
very probable that the Opposition will come into
place. Indeed; It the influence and talents of Mar-
cities WELLE:LEY, Mr. CANNING, and the Opposition,
be united against any Administration, it is difficult
to conceive how public business could be carried on.
The Lail cf LIVERPOOL, the LORD CIiAgCELLOR,
dud Lord MetArtu.E, had audiences of the PitiNcE
RLGF:N r ycstertay ; but we understand that no deci.
sive measure was the result. Marquis Wist.t.ssutv

The Lisbon Mail, which arrived yesterday, was
brought to Falmouth by the Princess Charlotte, in
six days.—We have little to add to the details which
we were enabled togive yesterday.—Earl WELLING-
TON and his gallant army are now posted so as
completely to frustrate any further movements of the
French upon Portugal. Indeed the latter do not
seem either willing or able to make any attempt of
the kind. SQULT, if we may credit the accounts in
the Portuguese Papers, is extremely uneasy at Seville,
and threatens to retire upon the kingdom of Grenada.

We have seen several letters•from New York, of
the 21st April, complaining loudly of the Embargo,
and stating, that a great ferment prevails in the pub-
lic mind in consequence. The table of the House
of Representatives is covered with Petitions from
Merchants, praying a renewal of the intercoqrse
with Great Britain ; while the latest communications
from Mr. Jost. BARLOW, at Paris, are said to have
been of the most gloomy description.

Br the Chichester. packet, which has arrived from
the Leeward Islands, we learn that the melancholy
news respectng the earthquake at the Caraccas is
confirmed, but not to the extent brought by the Wind-
sor Castle packer. . The loss now is stated to be
10,000 souls. The shock was felt at several of the
West India Islands.—The GLotitE frigate sail d from
Tortola six days previous to the Chichester, with 50
sail of ships for England, leaving 40 sail behind.

Yesterday Lords ELDON, Ltvenroot, and MOIRA,

The Order of the Bath is be extended to fifty, in-

The Dowager Lady FORTESCUE died yesterday
afternoon, at her house in Wimpole•street. Her LA-
dyship was in her 85th year, and was mother to the
present Earl.
The Marquis of HUNTLEY returned to town yes-
terday from Scotland, where, with the most exem-
plary filial devotion, he superintended the funeral of
the lamented Duchess of GORDON, whose remains
were interred at Kinrara, on the 11th instant.

KING'S THICATRIC —Last night one of the most
brilliant and fashionable audiences which has been
witnessed this season, graced the boxes at this splendid
place of amusement. The grand Opera, or rather
Melo-drame of Camilla,• was received with increased
sat:sfaction, and the new singer, Mr. F/SCIIER, as
Merle, met with unbounded applause. The exqui-
site sensibility of Madame CATALANI, in the dungeon
scene, where she first sees her child after an imprison-
ment of some years, was such as to awaken the
finest emotions in her auditors. Such a mother only
as Madame, CATALANI unquestionably is in her do-
mestic relations, could conceive and execute the in-
teresting scene with such pathos ; and her

new Ballet of Zephyr and Flora, which does
so much honour to the classical taste and genius of
DIDELOTi followed the Opera ; and every night of
its representation the excellent Corps de Ballet are indi-
vidually More and more au fait in their respective parts.
No Ballet Master who ever visited this country, can
boast like M. Dtor.t.or, not only of being the Author of
many charming Pantomimic representations, but also
of being the original founder of a Corps de Ballet out
of English materials. The secession to the Pantheon
of almost all the foreign dancers of the regular Opera
establishment, had left M. DIDELOT ( with the excel).
Lion of Vssrurs, and Mesdames Dieinor and Arrow-
usr) almost no dancers of experience. M. I:honor,
howevert has surrnottnted all difficulties, and proved
how much may be made of English talent, under the
tuition of an able master. The vigorous, and yet
graceful agility; of Madame Donor, as the Bacchante
in the Cymbal ;Dance, stands unrivalled, and furnishes
a living picture-of what we have only hitherto ima-
gined, from the glowing descriptions of the ancient
Poets. The esertions of this lady to gratify the au-
dience, are rendered doubly meritorious, from the
circumstance of her labouring under a severe lunation
of the muscles of the leg, and which-renders her move-
ments sotheWhat painful to hetself.—Amid the in-
teresting juvenile gronpe, of M. Domot's forma-
tion, Mademoiselle Clikailf is pre-eminent :—her be-
witching playfulness, and graceful movements,

rising Diem de At dance ; a station for which, the ele-
gant symmetry of her form eminently qualifies hen.—
