LONDON:
FRIDAY EVENING. JLLT 13, 1821.

1t bas not yet been ascertained that her MAJESTY

has received as answer to her application for a Place
at the approaching Coronation. Silence, it is often
said, gives consent ; and an inference is drawn from
the delay in making the reply. that the accommoda-
tion required is about to be granted. If her MA-
JESTY'S application had been designed to be refused,

it is conceived it would have been immediately an-
swered in the negative. The interval that has elapsed
has probably been occupied in consultation, and in
forming fresh arrangements for a station that is suit-
able to her hiaJaart's rank. We are happy to find
that this idea prevails, and that it has the happiest

tendency to allay those alarms which the Ministerial
prints had endeavoured to excite in consequence of
her MAJESTY'S application. No sooner was her last
letter to Lord SIDMOVTII made publicly known than it
was attacked with all the virulence by which her per-
secutors have been distinguished, as an omen of dis-
order and tumult. It was assumed by this unmanly
tribe that her MAJESTY'S presence in any station on
the approaching occasion, would be ♦ery unacceptable
to some personage or other, and they thought 'they

could not discharge their duty better than by repre-
senting the notice as pregnant with the greatest an-
noyanee and danger. A little reflection might have
taught them, that their own officiousness was the
most likely to be producti►e of mischief. If their
alarm was to be taken about tumult and blood-

shed, who would he so rash as to be witnesses of the
scene ? Who in the midst of panic could sit to gaze
on the splendour of processions; and how are those
purveyors of pavilions who have risked large sums in
providing accommodation to expected spectators, to
till the seats they have prepared, and indemnify them-
selves for the expense ? Wbat, besides, would be the
r 'addendum' of a pageant, gorgeous as it could pen.
Ably be, if those who occupy its ranks meet set the
approving eyes ofelegant and tranquil crowds to reflect
the admiration they desire? Of all the impolitic in-

terferenees of which the flatterers of a Court have been
guilty, the attempt to spread anxiety or gloom arOtod
the solemnities and splendours of the Coronation are
the most absurd and reprehensible. The attempt, we
trust, will be speedily repressed, and the public
mind restored to tranquillity by an assurance
that her 311.12 STY'S request has obtained the most
liberal acquiescence. Whatever may hare been
advanced against her 31...testv's claim to be crowned
as Queen Consort, not the shadow of a reason can be
alleged against her right to be present at the Corona-
tion of the Kin°. What is wanting in reason, how-
ever, is endeavoured to be supplied by artifice ; aid
no efforts have been spared to make up the lack of ar-
gument by the force of intimidation. The alarm has

been spread ; but it has recoiled upon the party by

whom it was given. The resolution of the Wean
cannot be shaken, but by what affects her understand-
ing. Her fit crEavv has expressed her determination
to be present at the intended ceremony ; and whether
a Place be provided for her or not, those who have wit-
nessed her prior firmness cannot doubt she will fulfill
her intention. In suds a case, good policy as well as
justice requires the desired accommodation to be
granted in the spirit of peace. To insist upon her
blaJarry relinquishing her object, is to expect her ac-
quiescence in the attempt to degrade her. To conceive

it possible that any other mesas than those already
tried, will be employed to turn her from her purpose,
into suppose that such as have predicted tumult, had
ieteymined on its accomplishment.

Advice. from Cephalonia, brought by the Flanders
mail, dated th.2440f June, state intelligence to Dove
arrived there the day before that Vrachori, the capital
of Molls, revolted on receiving the news of the death of
the Patriarch, the Turks were massacred, and that the
Synagogues as well as the Mosques, have been burnt
down. The banks of Anatolia and Missolnnghi bear now
noother lag than that of the Cross, and we reckon on
the waters of the Morea 20 Greek cruisers, which are
daily supplied by them with provisions.
Letters from Salonichi say, that the Turks have mas•
sacred a great part of the rich merchants, and that those
who have been able to escape, have taken refuge in
Trickeri, Island situated in the Gulf of Velo. This
port is now one of the stations of the Insurgents, who
communicate with those of Mount Pelican, and of the
Canton of Zagora, the eastern part of Tbessaly.
Letters front Cerigo (Cythera) say, that in Crite the
Sfasiotea, united with the peasants of the mountains,
closely blockade the Turks in the fortresses, where they
are obliged to shut themselves up. All the islands of
the Archipelago, except those of Tinos and Sepses have
raised the standard of the Cress, and the commerce be-
tween Egypt and Constantinople is wholly intercepted
by the armaments of the holy league of the Greeks. As
for Epirus, we know that Ali Paeba holds oat fetus-
fully. Arta, Zagori, and all the districts inhabited by
the tairistiaast sailed with the Atouslotls, daily obtain

sods advantages over the
may be considered as perfectly ►.
affairs may take, it is probable that those provinces
which have never been perfectly subjected, will act fall
again under the authority of the Sultan.
We learn, says the writer, that oar Government has
resolved strictly to enforce the treaty of 21st March,
1L+00; according to which " the Barbary Corsairs can-
not navigate within 40 miles west of the lonian Sea."
Now the benefit of this neutrality extends " indepen-
dently of the islands situated from Antone in the Adriatic
to Cerigo, into the Archipelago of the Egean Sea,"
which leaves a fine line of operation for the vessels
fighting under the gag of the Cross, since the Barbarians
of Africa cannot approach the coasts of the Continent
and of the Morea, without directly violating the positive
stipulations of the treaty of 1800.

An article from Brussels, dated the 9th of July says—
Prince Metternich has arrived at his domain Joannisberg.
Many other Diplomatic Characters belonging to the dif-
ferent Cabinets of Europe intend to visit the baths near
the Rhine. The presence of the King of Prussia in
those parts happening at the same time, it is thought
likely that conferences (of course confidential) may take
place on many important subjects. The Prince of Par-
tamia arrived at Brussels on the Sth, going to London
as Ambassador Extraordinary from the King of Naples.
The accounts from Spain contain no novelty, though
considerable interest. Rumours of conspiracy and com-
motions continue, but no further disturbance than what
we had previously noticed has taken place. A report
has been presented to the Cortes on the plan proposed
by the American Deputation on the state of their pro-
vinces, and the means of establishing the Spanish Con-
stitution in that qnarter. From the importance of the
object, the consideration of some of the propositions
has been postponed, and the decision on the whole, it is
expected, will be adjourned to the next Cortes.
An article from Chambery, dated June 30, gives some
interesting particulars from Piedmont. For several
days past a report had been in circulation in that pro-
vince that the King would not come te Piedmont, and
that a part of the kingdom is to be subjected to the Aus-
trian Government. This rumour, spreading among all
classes of the inhabitants, and particularly among the
troops of the brave regiment of Savoy, has caused a
general feeling of discontent in that corps, which was
carried so far that the soldiers had formed the design of
returning altogether to their homes with their arms and
baggage. This plan was to have been put in execution
after the rejoicings for the celebration of the festival of
St. John ; but the Governor, and the other authorities
of the city who had information of it, took such
measures as defeated the plot on that very day. Subal-
terns and soldiers to the number of sixty have been ar-
rested and conducted to the citadel. where they will be
interrogated. Government entertains the expectation
of being able to discover the leaders by the declarations
of the soldiers under arrest. Notwithstanding these ar-
rests the discontent continues. The presence of the
Austrian troops in Piedmont for an indefinite period
seems to be the cause of it. It is well known that the
keys of Alessandria have been sent to King Charles
Felix ; but the Austrians are not the less masters of that
rampart of Piedmont. There has been talk of a num-
ber of executions which were to take place there In con-
sequence of the sentences of the military commission.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, sOabinet Council was
held at the Foreign-office In Downing-street.
Yesterday the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Sitlmontb,
the Marquess of Londonderry, and Viscount Melville,
had audiences of his Majesty, at his Palace in Pall-mall.
Yesterday at twelve o'clock, the Duke of Wellington,
Viscount Palmerston, Sir Charles Long, Mr. Has-
kisses, and other official Gentlemen, assembled at
the Chancellor of the Exchequer's house. The
object of the assembly was to wake arrangements
for the reduction of 'silences in their different de-
partments.
The delay in not inserting the names of the new
Peers in The Geaette, is said to arise front some dis-
satisfaction which has tsken place either in Ireland,
or amongst the Irish Nobility resident in London,
occasioned by certain exclusions. Rumour goes so
far as to hint, that promises have not been most rigidly
kept.

Yesterday Count Stakelberg, and a numerous suite,
arrived at his residence in Portland-place.
The reigning Duke of Saxe Meinengen, is on bie
way to this country, to be present at his Majesty's
Coronation, after which his Serene Highness will
spend some time with his Sister, the Duchess of
Clarence. Lieutenant Edward Hall, R. N. left town
• few days ago, to meet his Serene Highness at Calais.
The Duke of Grammot, Ambassador Extraordinary
from the French Court to attend the Coronation, was,
for some years previons to the return of the King of
Prance to Paris, an Officer in the 10th Hussars, when
hie present Majesty was Colonel of it.

A notice has been issued from the Lord Chamber-
lain's Office, that the Knights Commanders of the
Order of the Bath will receive their mantles, bats,
spun, swords, and belts, at that Mee on Monday
next, upon payment of tbe Fees, and the production of
their respective Letters of Summons to attend his Ma-
jesty's Coronation.
Ire are authorised Is say that the Public Offices will
he illuminated on the evening of the 19th instant.—
(Mornisg Pett.)_

A magnificent Fete in honour of the Coronation is
to be given at Carlton Palace ; the preparations are
upon a most extensive scale, and it is the wish of his
Majesty that it shall exceed in splendour the enter-
tainment given to the Sovereigns after the Peace.
The contest for the Representation of the University
of Oxford, in the room of Sir William Scott, is likely
to be most severe. Mr. Heber, however, is the favourite
Candidate, he has the support of Lord Holland, Lord
Lamsdown, and Lord Grenville, Lord Liverpool and
Mr. Canning also give him their votes and all their
interest. Sir John Nicholl has the Lord Chancellor
with him, and all the host of Doctors' Commons into
the bargain,
The conspiracy of the East, which occupied during
Men days the Court of Assizes at Riom, has been
decided on. The accused have been declared not
guilty by the jury on all the twenty-four charges.
From various preparations making at the hotel
purchased at Paris by the King of Prussia, it is sup-
posed that this monarch will shortly visit that capital.
The Grand Jury at the Westasinster Snidest this
morning, returned a true bill against James !Marty,
Richard Rosbottom, William Hardy, Thomas Lee, and
James Jeans, tot Murder.

Meeting with every demonstration of kind and proper
feeling. _ _ _

Just as the Meeting were breaking up,
Mr.W. M CRPHT communicred to Lord Fingall, that

The following Is an extract of a letter from Genoa,
dated June 30 The latest news in town from Con-
stantinople is to the 3d inst., when that capital was
tranquil. The embargoes on all the cargoes of grain
from the Black Sea continued, which were paid fur.
The Islands of Hydra, Spezia, and Iperza, have fitted
out upwards of 70 ships, armed with from 16 to 20
guns each, which ♦isit vessels in the Archipelago, and
it is said, seize on Turkish property. We have just
received a letter from Palermo, dated the 14th inst.,
at which time all was quiet there. It adds, that Oo-
vernment had, within a few days, laid on the usual
duty of
_l5 saris on all foreign wheat."

The Agricultural Report for Berwickshire, inserted
in a late Berwick paper, says, " Notwithstanding the
long and loud complaints of Agricultural distress, a
farm in our vicinity was let within a few days of the
term, at, it is said, full Bs. per acre above what it
paid during the last 23 years ; when it was, with the
best possible management, and the aid of the war
prices, found sufficiently high.
Tun Cuastetote.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Dy-
woke tried on the suit of armour in which he is to ap-
pear before the King in Westminster Hall. It might
be termed a dressed rehearsal; and Astley's Amphi-
theatre had to boast of a select few of the Nobility and
Gentry who were admitted upon this occasion, to wit-
ness the performance of the Champion ; the Duchess
of St. Alban's, Lady Caroline Lamb, &c. being pre-
sent. The suit of armour is composed of burnished
steel, and originally belonged to the proprietor of the
Gothic Hall, in Pall Mall. The horse on which the
Champion is to ride on the day of the Coronation,
is quite familiar to the public eye. It is *handsome,
strong, black and white Hanoverian horse, of the
name of Cato, an old stager, and long accustomed to
the glare of lamps, the sound of trumpets, and the
poop and parapbeamilia attached to processions. The
Champion is nailer She tuition of Mr. Blythe, the
riding-master at Astley's, and has made great pro-
gress towards giving east to his character at the Co-
ronation. The armour weighs upwards of seventy lbs.
The Champion on being dressed mounted his charger
with very little assistance, and immediately rode across
the stage, bowing to the ladies; he then backed his
charger with considerable ease and facility ; and as a
proof of the steadiness of Old Cato, on one of his feet
accidentally touching one of the side scenes, which
fell down, he remaided perfectly quiet. The Cham-
pion was without his helmet and plume of feathers ;
these latter articles not being quite finished. At the
request of several of the ladies, the Champion, in the
most gallant manner, appeared in the ride, and trotted
round it several times. Mr. Dymoke retired for a
short period, and then returned in the old suit of ar-
mour in which he hag been daily rehearsing with, to
gratify the Nobility end Gentry present. Considering
it was the first time the Champion rode in the heavy
snit of armour, be performed his part with consider-
able effect. Indeed, his appenraece altogether was
pronounced by the ladies to be very elegant. The
Champion, on the morning of the Coronatioa, it is
said, is to be escorted from his home, in Hill-street,
Borkely-square, to his stable, in Palace-yard, by a
troop of t►e Life Guards.

them in, and he won by three minutes.

S•DLIR'S Wau.s.--•Her Majesty last night honoured
this theatre with her presence, and was received with
the same enthusiasm which bas distinguished all her
former visits to scenes of public entertainment. The
visit in qnestion had been for some time expected, b•-
cause an understanding, which appeared not whollg
destitute of foundation, bad represented that it was the
Queen's intention to confer on each of the minor esta-
blishments the same mark of her favour and patronage.
—The circumstance, however, of her intended presence
yesterday at Sadler's Wells was tot, we believe, an-
nounced to the public before the morning nf the sane..
day. Short as was the notice, the result proved that
ithe manager had to complain of co bad harvest : sal-
' dom, perhaps, has one been ripened in so brief a
period, even at this season of the year. The Queen
arrived at half-past six, attended be Lord and
Lady Hood, and remained till half-past ten. The old
tune of " God save the King" was sung by the audience
both on her Majesty's entering her box, and on her
I quitting it ; we say the tune, for the anthem itself, as
repeated by the performers, was inaudible. As may be
imagined, theaudience, on a repetition of the song, soh
stituted the word "Queen" for " King." which, with
the exception of a very few discordant voices, might h.
said to be generally adopted. The performances were Ti.e
Movataie Hat, or The Tinker and Aix Son. a new hitt-
letta called Jacintha, and the new pantomime of Hada,
grin at Home. or the Magic Fuentaims. The audience,
as usual, forgot not to find allusions where none wet-
originally intended, and occasionally displayed no small
degree of fancy and ingenuity in placing new construc-
tions upon uld phrases. The exhibitions were, notwith-
standing, very well conducted, and, with some allow•
ance for the vociferous loyalty of so promiscuous an as•
semblage, they may be said to have passed off with
great regularity.
Her majesty is, we understand, to honour the En-
glish Opera Howse with her patronage and presence
early next week.
The weight of sovereigns and half sovereigns sect
by the Bank of England to Manchester, was nearly
four tons. for the purpose of exchanging gold fe:
paper ; this being effected on Satnrday last, to the
amount of 419,6001. the office was closed.

AIRTILLIIRY COMPANY.--.AI six o'clock yesterday even
ing the ceremony of consecrating the new colours of thr
Artillery Company was performed with duo military
honours at the Artillery-groand. Finsbury. At five
o'clock a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen
were admitted within the gates; and after an boar
had elapsed the folding gates of the Artillery-house
were thrown open, and the Serjeant-major advanced to-
wards the corps, which was drawn up in a semi-circle on
the Green; he was followed by the Quarter-master.
bearing the new colours tied up in their covers, and at-
tended by the Rev. Mr. Hatt. When the party advanced
within the semi-circle, the Serjeant-major planted the
colours next the drum-head, and the Rev. Mr. Hatt
read from a paper the foram of prayer he had prepared
for the eoesocration. When this ceremony was over,
the colours, on which the arms of the corps are beauti-
fully emblazoned, were unfolded and delivered On the
respective officers who have the honour of bearing them.
The corps then went through a variety of eveintions,
which displayed their wonted skill and precision in mi-
litary exercise, and were highly gratifying to the fa-
shionable company assembled on the occasion. The
parade was not over until near eight o'clock. His
Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, who is Colonel of
the corps, would have attended if he had not been una-
voidably detained in a distant part of the country.
Yesterday afternoon a great number of persons.
nearly 500, were locked in the Royal Exchange for
not leaving the place upon the usual notice of ringing
of the bell, which is done for a quarter of an hour.
One of the Porters, an infirm man. employed on the
'Change, was also locked in, upon whom some unfeel-
ing persons began to vent their rage, but Mr. Mellish.
late M. P.' for Middlesex, rescued him after he had
beam Insulted. During this time a number of the per-
sons forced off the gates at the west end of the 'Change
and rushed out. This outrage has several times occur-
red lately, as the various repairs of the gates plainly
sbew.

HIGII COCRT OF JUtTICIART, EDI:VW:ROO, JULY 10.—
Yesterday Robert Chariton was put to the bar, accused
of having, in company with others, discharged
loaded lire arms, with the intent to commit murder, at
three boys on the Oilmorton-road. The Jury, after art
hones deliberation on the evidence, returned a verdict
against the panel, of being art and part in the said
crime; and the Court sentenced him to seven years'
transportation.

CORN EKCIFIANGE, JULT 13.—The supply of Wheat
