Nil, CdP2Nl' CARMEN 7' NEAT RE. Soon after the commencement of the fourth Act of the Play (The Heir at Law), the tables were en tirely turned in favour of the popular party : the whole house was completely occupied, and the cla mour was so loud that nothing more of the business of the stage was heard or attended to till the end of the Farce (The Padlock). All the fighting men were thrown in the back ground, and placards were exhibited as usual, but being confined to the pit, they could not be displayed to much advantage ; hand-bills were also showered down from the boxes by thousands, and caught up with enthusiasm. The cry of victory was raised by the popular party, and it was not subdued till the Theatre was cleared ; as usual, about an hour after the close of the perform ance. Some persons stationed in the out-posts of the patriotic army were made prisoners, but the centre remained firm, and kept possession of the field. A few speeches were made, but not well heard ; they recommended perseverance, and gave an assu rance of final success. Three cheers were the signal of final departure, which was conducted with perfect order. A more than usual number of females, we will not say ladies, were present—the gentlemen, of both parties, it was difficult to discriminate. The placards of the evening exhibited the following inscriptions : 11 Fair play and fair prices."' " Oppose Shyluck and the Jews." " No hired Ruffians, Boxers or Thicftakers to insult the public." "No wonder the POST condemns JOHN BULL'S Placards, when it lies, thick and thin, in support of Jew Blackguards." The following whimsical jet: d'esprit, in the shape of a play-bill, was handed about the house:— Drhi,l, for the Catharine, captured Feb. 14, 1808, and the t..e longe Jan Pi..•ter, May 28, 1803, will be paid 5^ . m.! en Monday next, and recalled at 23, Surrey-street, •.:. ni; 'rues( and Fridays.

HAGUE, OCTOBER S. We have received Paris letters and papers to the 2d. They contain no news of any importance. Guards of Honour are forming at Antwerp, Lisle, and Ghent, in expectation of a visit from his Majesty the Emperor. btfrat PiPRILL .EYDEN, OCTOBER 6. An article in the Paris Papers of the Ist inst. says: —.-Ag With regard to the question of peace or war, we are still in the same state of uncertainty. The ad vices, or, more properly speaking, the rumours upon that important subject, vary daily. It is certain that on the 21. th ult. the Emperor had not left Schoen- brunn, and that a very active correspondence conti nued between the Emperors Napoleon and Francis. It is furth?r stated, that General' Bubna returned to Schoenbrunn on the 22d." The 5 per cents. were en the Ist at 77 f. 50 c.— Bank Stock 12. 37 f. 50 c. LISLE, .SEPT. 29. The Prefect of the North taking into consideration that his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon will most probably soon honour wish his presence his good city of Lisle, and being desirous of affording its inhabi tants an opportunity of giving fresh proofs of at tachment to his Majesty's person, has ordered a regi ster to be opened at the town-house for the signatures of those who may be disposed to serve in a guard of honour, both of cavalry and infantry. NEW THEATRE ROYAL COVENT-GARDEN. 'rills present Wednesday, Oct. 11, 1809, will be presented, by an entire New Company of Performers, and not acted these sixty years, a Tragi -Comedy, called HOCKLEY IN THE HOLE.

To which will be added, for the third time, a new Melo-Drama, called THE BEAR-GARDEN; OR, JOHN BULL BULLIED. Performers as bcfore.—l'he above Pieces having been re ceived with the most unbounded and reiterated applause, will be repeated every evening until further notice.—For the better ac commodation of the Public, and to give greater spirit to the Per formance, the Stage will in future be removed into the centre of the Pit.—Boxes is.

To TYE PUHLIC.—Mr. K —e, EVER GRATEFUL to the kind, indulgent, liberal, and " most enlightened Public in the World," for the numerous favours himself and family have been in the habit of receiving for these last 25 years, and, ANXIOUS ONLY Fox FIR AMUSEMENT, begs leave siumat.v to state, that he has engaged the above Company of capital Performers at a very considerable expence; and lie trusts, that also considering the high price of paper, whole reams of which he is obliged nightly to expend in Orders, for the support of the Theatre, that, by those who can pay, the small advance offs. on the admittance to the Buses, and 6d. to the Pit, will not be objected to. Vivant Rex et Regina. FOR THE STAR. MR. EDITOR—At the bankruptcy of Mr. Jon MARTINDALE, formerly of St. James's -street, it clearly appeared, that the share of Covent-garden Theatre, then possessed, and still held by Mr. M. in right of his wife, who is a daughter of the late Mr. POWELL, .was bought by Mr. P. for a sum under £5000.—1 be lieve 5000 guineas ; this share has, during the last six years, produced a fluctuating income of from £BOO to ,E l 500 per annum, CLEAR PROFIT, and averaging at £lOOO. From the above fact, (and which I will prove, if called upon, in your paper), the profit upon the original capital sunk is more than 20 per cent. Your's, J. It. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE has lately been on a visit at Nynehead Park, in Somerset shire, the splendid mansion of W. A. SANFORD, Esq. , On the return of his Royal Highness on Thursday last from enjoying the magnificent scenery from the , adjacent hills in Devonshire, he was gratified with a still morb pleasing scene exhibited on the spacious lawn before the house of his hospitable and elegant j host. The population for miles round were collected together to see the son of their beloved Sovereign ; an ox was roasted whole for their entertainment, and strong beer was distributed amongst them with truly British hospitality. On Friday his Royal Highness. accompanied by a party of Ladies and Gentlemen of distinction, visited Dunster Castle, the seat of A. LUTTItELL, Esq. where a magnificent breakfast was provided for the Royal visitor. On his Royal High ness's return to Nynehead Park, he passed through Milverton and \Viveliscombe, escorted by Captain HANCOCK'S troop of Yeomanry. At Wiveliscombe his Royal Highness was pleased to express his thanks to the inhabitants for the ♦ery handsome manner in which they received him. Triumphal arches were erected, crowned with laurels and appropriate inscrip tions. Six hogsheads of strong beer were distributed amongst the populace, who were in the highest de gree delighted at the honour done them by this amia ble Prince. His Royal Highness visited the elegant little Cottage and gardens of Mr. SULLY, with which lie expressed himself greatly pleased. At this Gen man's his Royal I - ,ighness partook of refreshments, and, after remaining with him about two hours, was again escorted to Nynehead Park, where the troop were regaled in the most handsome manner by its liberal owner. PARIS, OCTOBER 1. Letters from Lisle, of the 27th, mention, that his Excellency Marshal Moncey, Duke of Cornegliano, Commander in Chief of the Army of Reserve, has arrived in that city, where he has established his head quarters. We learn, by advices Nom Antwerp, that his Ma jesty the Emperor is shortly expected in Belgium. Several led horses and carriages belonging to the Emperor have left this city in the course of the week. Some of them took the road to Antwerp, and others proceeded in the direction of Bayonne. General Gratien, who commanded the Dutch troops, in the affair with Seta, is at present in this capital. According to the latest advices from Vienna, which are of the 23d ult. no decision had then taken place with respect to the grand question of Peace or War. The total of the French force in Austria, Bavaria, and Saxony, is estimated at three hundred thousand men. The Afoniteur of this day contains a notification, in General Orders, from General Hulin, that the' National Guards of Paris are this day to be reliev ed by troops of the line, in the garrison duty of the capital. The same Paper contains an Imperial Decree, issued by his Majesty on his birth-day, the 15th of August, instituting a new Order, to be called the Order of the Three Golden Fleeces, and to be speci ally appropriated to the rewarding of officers and sol diers whose corps belong to the grand army and have served with it during three campaigns. This Order is to consist, at most, of 100 Grand Knights, 400 Commanders, and 1000. Knights. The Emperor is Grand Master. The Imperial Prince alone obtains admission from birth. The other Princes of the blood are only admissible after serving two years in the ar my, or during one actual campaign. It may be con ferred, for services deemed worthy of it, on the grand Officers of the Crown, the Ministers, the Presidents of the Senate, and the immediate descendants of Mar ' shals. With these exceptions none can obtain it, but such as have, in different engagements, received three wounds. The Emperor, nevertheless, reserves to , himself the privilege of bestowing it upon those who • particularly distinguish themselves by the defence of jtheir colours, being the first to mount a breach, or' other splendid atchievements. The memorable 15th of August will be the anniversary of the Order. VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 21. M. de Buhna, Aid.de-Camp to the Emperor of Austria, returned to-day to Vienna. The report runs that he has quitted the Austrian service; but this is perhaps one of the articles of news fabricated here as in all great cities, and it is prudent to wait the con firmation of it. It was said that the camp at Spitz had been broken up, but it is not true. Marshal Massena set ofF yes terday from Vienna ; he is supposed to be gone to Hungary. SEPTEMBER 22.—We understand that the Hunga rian Militia, commanded by the Archduke Palatine, are marching frcm the environs of Neuhausel to Pest. The very numerous corps which occupy the latter place and its vicinity, proceed to Comorn, in order to reinforce the troops which are under marching orders for Moravia, and probably to more distant parts.— The Austrian horse are marching into the interior of Hungary, and numerous corps arc said to be destined for Olmutz. The French army, according to the latest accounts, occupied the following positions : The Viceroy and the Duke of Tarento (Macdo nald) were with their corps on the right bank of the Danube, in Hungary and Stiria. Baragnay d'Hilliers commands the reserve of the Italian army, which is cantoned on the coast of the Adriatic, in Carinthia, and in Carniola. The Saxon corps, under General Regnier, is posted in and about Presburgh, to which place the corps of the Duke of Reggio (Oudinot), which was formerly at Vienna, is removed. The Prince of Eckmuhl (Davot4t) occupies the Eastern raft of Moravia; and has his head•quariers at Brunn: The Prince of Esslingen (Massena) occupies the Western part of Moravia, and has his head-quarters at Znaym. The Duke of Ragusa (Marmont), who hitherto occupied the northern bank of the Danube from Krems to Bohemia, has been ordered to advance to the Marsch. The Imperial Guards are to proceed to Presburgh. The heavy cavalry advances towards Hungary. The Duke of Dantzic still remains in his position in Upper Austria and Saltzburgh. The Army of Observation, which forms the Bth corps, under the Duke of Abrantes, is advancing to the frontiers of Bohemia. The following are the positions of the Austrian Army: The corps of General Kienmayer is, in consequence of new arrangements, exclusively destined to cover Bohemia. The Archduke Ferdinand will, with his corps which retreated from Gallicia, and which has re ceived some reinforcements, defend the Northern part of Moravia, and particularly the fortress of 01- mutz. The remaining corps of the Austrian army are in Hungary. Three of them, which form the right wing of the main army, are encamped on the left banks of the Danube, near Comorn, and stretch themselves to Neuhausel, Leopoldsiadl, Kremitz, and to the mountains which separate Moravia from Hungary. A fourth corps is posted in and near Gran, and a fifth has moved up the Danube towards Ofcn and Pest. General Giulay is detached to the Hungarian fron tiers of Croatia, where a considerable body of border troops is assanbling. He has a position near Funf kirchin. ULV, SEPT. 25. It is stated in letters from Vienna that the Empe ror Napoleon, in delivering t- Count Bubna, on the 15th instant, an answer, in his own handwriting, to the letter from the Emperor Francis, said---" I hope your Emperor will be satisfied with the contents of my letter." LOWER ELBE, SEPT. °9 . The last letters from Berlin mention a confident expectation in that city of the return of his Pru,sian. Majesty, accompanied by the Minister Von Alten. stein and the Privy Counsellor Stegman, in the event of a peace between France and Austria. It is also asserted, that the Queen assured a depu tation of the trained bands of her intention shortly to visit Berlin, for the purpose of lying in there. The new Magistracy seem disposed to take the most rigid measures for collecting the arrears of taxes due to the city treasury. TURKISH BULLETIN. " CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 6.—The Ottoman arm continue victorious; and it is confirmed, that the ad vantages already published are more important and decisive than it was first believed. " On the 3d of May the Russians lost before Ibrail, not less than 15,000 men ; and on the 18th, the re mainder of the corps which hid assailed that fortress were precipitately driven over the River Sereth, with ' the loss of 200 men more. On the 23d the Russians were again completely beaten, though not with such • great loss, at Zimniza, a village on the left of the river • Danube, in front of Sistova. All reports agree, that the greatest discontent exists among; the Russian army ; that the officers and privates are at variance, and that they accord in nothing but in their uni versal disg,lst at the war with Turkey. A consi derable number of deserters have come over from the Russian camp to the Turkish army.—The Ser vians have been defeated by the Turks near Widdin ; 500 heads have been sent to the Porte in token of the victory. Similar advantages kwe been gained over the Servians in the neighbourhood of Fetislam.— Yesterday (the sth of June), the Sublime Porte re ceived advice, that the Servians have been entirely defeated by the Ottoman troops, commanded by his Highness Horshed Pasha, at Motofsa and Camenz: , ,, near Nissa.—The Turks, after having cut hi pieces many of the enemy, took 7000 prisoners, with their cannon and ammunition." A Deputation of the Merchants interested in the trade the Continent, had an interview yesterday with the Board of Trade. It was signified to them, that it was the intention of Government to extend the permission for importing corn, and exporting colonial produce and British manufactures, to Holland, as it is allowed to and from France ; and that Licences would be granted for that purpose. Yesterday morning Sir SIDNEY SMITH and Lady RumaoLD were married at St. James's Church.— ' The only persons present at the ceremony, were Mr. ROLLESON, the Gazette writer, and Miss RUMROLD. Yesterday her Royal Highness the PRINCESS or Watr.s entertained the Duke of BRUNSWICK, the Duchess of BnuNswict, the Countess of EFFINGHAM, Lady C. LINDSAY, Lord ST. HELEN'S, and a large party, with an elegant dinner, at her seat at Black heath. Yesterday the Earl of HAnnowny entertained the Earls of LIVERPOOL, BATHURST, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the Hon. Mr. RYDER, the JUDGI ADVOCATE, and a large party, with a grand dinner, at his house in Grosvenor-square. Yesterday Lieutenant-General Sir JOHN CRADDOCK gave a grand dinner to a large party of Military Gen tlemen, at his house in Hereford -street, Park-lane. Yesterday Lord Gwynnt enti rtained Lord and Lady MELBOURN, and a select party, at dinner, at I his house at Whitehall. Yesterday the Earl of CHATHAM gave a grand din ner to a large party of General Officers, &c. at his house in Hill-street. The demand for 2,3, and 4 Tickets of the same Number swallows up a great share of the Lottery : the Orders by Post from all parts of the United King dom, to HORNSBY and Co.'s Offices, exceed their most sanguine expectations. HORNSBY and Co. have secured a good assortment of Tickets and Shares, which they hope will prove advantageous to those who honour them with their commands. They beg leave to state to those Persons who wish to have a Chance, that a Disappointment may take place, if the Pur. ' chase is postponed too long. —Friday week is the grand Day.
