This day being the first in Easter Term, the Judges
and Gentlemen of the long robe, as usual, paid their
respects to the LORD CHANCELLOR, at his house in
ku, sq %are.
• Yesterday die Whig Chili held their Monthly Meet-
ing at the Crown and Anchor Tavern. The Hon.
Mr. ERSKINE took the Chair until the arrival of Mr.
WHITBREAD, who was detained by the important dis-
cussion in the House of Commons 02 the question of
the Petition from the Livery of London. A number
of constitutional toasts were given,_ and Mr. WHIT-
BREAD, Mr. BYNG, MARTIN, Mr. ERSEINII,- Mr.
WAITIIMAN, and other Gentlemen, expressed in a
lively manner, their sense qf the present momentous
situation of the country, and the necessity of proceed-
ing with temper and e-mcord in the great wish of Re-
form by constitutional means.

Letters were yesterday received from France to the
6th instant. Nothing is mentioned in them of any
new successes in- Spain. The only political matter
they contain is connected with the excursion of BONA-
?Mart and his Consort to his Flemish dominions.
Yesterday some private letters were received from
Holland of a recent date. They relate chiefly to the
tyrannical conduct of the French, in the rigid means
of enforcing the order for the exclusion of British
commerce, or in other words the total extinction of
foreign trade, already sunk to so low a state that
the exchange of Rotterdam being no longer a scene of
commercial trm;action, has been converted into a
barrack for the French troops.
Letters have also been melted from Oporto, dated
t+sh ultimo. The writers express no apprehen.-
- stun cif the insecurity of that part of the country, but,
ion the contrary, deem the Allied Armies adequate to
tneet any force the enemy can bring against them.
They make some complaints with respectio a part
of iv:, management of the Commissariat Department,
whith it would. be of importance to remedy. The
farmers of the interior are required to supply teams
for the use of the army, and food for its subsistence.
For these contributions the Land-holders are not paid
in money, but in bills on the Treasury arLisbon, for
the dneharge of which the peasantry have to travel
40 or 50 miles, and in some cases a much greater dis-
tance, so that the sakfaction of the demand is some-
! times unegrial to compensate for the fatigue and, ex-
, pence i icurred in obtaining it. This circumstance is
frequently a material injury to the service, for in order
to avoid the inconvenience of such a form of pay-
I meat, the farmers break their carts, and disable their
tattle, and in the event of their being employed, the
drivers forsake them on the road, and no discipline
or cruelty can urge the oxen onwards, unless applied
by the person to #:hom they are accustomed. •
The King's Theatre was last night filled with an
elegant and fashionable audience, and the Opera of
La Pinate called forth the applause of the cognos-
centi in every scene. Madam CATALAN' and Signora
COLLIN', were in fine voice; the pathetic appeal of the
fanner, when descending into the tomb, thrilled every
nerve, and her " In scendo" will be remembered with
the same admiration as her " Son Regina," in Semi-
ramiele. TRAMEZZANI, as the Roman General, had also
an opportunity of displaying the two-fold excellence
of his vocal and histrionic powers, and he was never
more successful. The Ballets went off extremely well
but were rather tedious. —There is no good reason
why almost all the choruses in the Opera should be
omitted, in order to indulge-the Ballet Master with
the 'endless recurrence of processions of figurant i ,
" in thunder, lightning, am!. in rain," as k literally the
case in Cufid and Plyche. Notwithstanding the cur-
tailrkent of the choruses, it was half-past 12 o'clock
before the curtain finally dropped.
There never was but one instaneeof Two Packets
of rickets being given in one Lottery, and that was
last year; the one produced 024,765, being near
Jesolo more than the highest money prize in the
Lottery, and of it shares were sold by lucky W: Tun-
Nita, now of No. 1, Skinner-street, Snow-hill; like.
wise of four £20,000 Prizes in last year's Lotteries.
In the present Lottery, to be drawn the Bth of next
mciith, there are four Packets of Tickets given for
the first drawn above £l5, either one of which may
gain teloo,ooo, Halves and Quarters in proportion—
as an Eighth can
_gain £12,500, and a Sixteenth
B £6280. Sir JAbiti RANSCO3in b:ing deceased, Good
Fortune informs those who expect to reap unequalled
benefit, to apply immediately at her Temple, No. 1,
Skinner-street, where hap favourite Son, TIMM', is
now distribeiting the lucky Tickets and Shares.
