fAitia to the United States, laid, 44 Louillanians Remember always that you are Frenchmen, and that trance will regard you as her children l"—Thus it will be, that upon every inttance of difcontent in Lnuitiana, and which intrigue can always excite and f,,ment, the Emperor of France will be appealed to. It teems now to be pretty well afcertained, though not ofliciilly, that Bonaparte is refolved to enforce his blockading decree againft our commerce. As Congrsf have been called together to take into con sideration the hottile aggrefflons of one of the Belli• gerent Powers, we hope that executive partiality will nor induce them entirely to overlook thofe of another. To thew our •readers that this decree is a dire vio lation of a folemn compact flipulated in the convention of sBOO, figned by Bonaparte hirafelf, we fubjoin the lath article of that convention, from which it appears that to enforce fuch a decree as that of Novembcr let, is fuch an aggreffion as amounts to a eaufe of war, and is at once equally infulting and injurious. Whether the refeutment of our Government is already fo exclufively engroffed with the injuries received from Great Britain, that they have none to fpare for Stich outrageous violations of folemn treaty, remains to be feen.

Major General Nugent, Come Engineers, and other Military Officers, have received an order to repair to the environs of Brannan, to receive that place, when it (hall be returned by the French, conforms bly to the tan convention. Several Officers have likewife departed for the envimns of Gradifca ; they are charged to receive that territory which is ceded to Aufiria by the fame Convention. Pr CEMBER 2.—.-Our army is now nn the moll formidable footing. It has been increafed by leveral Prutlian deferters, who have entitled in nor regi ments, fo that our military force is Paid to +mount at prefent to 4exo,ooc effeaive men. The t curt G=azette of this day contains the following wick from Turkey : " Tranquillity is again diflurbed in the frontier 2nd Eallan provinces of the Ottoman empire. The following particulars of the palling of the Buzawa by the Turks have been received from Sarajevo, the capital of Bofnia r--- " At the cnmmeneement of Oltobir, the body of Ottoman troops on the Dwina, which amounted only to t 6,000 men, was fecretly increafed by fucceffive reinfureements to ss,ooo. On the Bth of Oflober, Hain Pacha afrembled all his force at Kraila, cn the Buzawa, not far from Senita, and on the toth he paittel the river. He immediately advanced againtl the Servian politicos; but the latter fell back at every point, and in the evening the Turks reached the cattle of Soccer. On the four 'flowing days the Servians made feveral attack., and on the isth, having received large reinforcements, they repulfed the MulTutmen. Following up theft advantages, they re-palled the Buzawa, and advanced to Vartz, a few miles from Tarajevn. To (top their progrefs, Bekir Pacha, Vizir of Travenick, fummoned a levy en rnajr. againil the Servians. He marched out of Ttavenick on the 18th with aOOO men. " Nothing refpeaing the evacuation of Wallachia or Moldavia has yet taken place. A new Rt.!flan corps ' bas marched from Mohilow towards thefe two Nine'Patsies.

The ad yawed polls have been again reinforced, and all conerpondence or communication with TUrkey is rigoroully prohibited." PARIS, DECEMbEit ts. Letters from the Fira Corgis of Obfervation of the Gironde, under the command of General Junet, , mention, that the Prince Regent of Portugal, as loon as he learnt the arrival of the French troops at Abrantes, adopted the refolution of retiring to the Brazils. He f a il e d, i n f a n , on the agth of-Novem ber. General Junet entered Liibon on the 3oth. He was very favourably received by the inhabitants.— Such was the confidence in the French, that the !hops were not 'hut, nor was bufinefs interrupted for an inflant. Dac. 16.—ft is mentioned in a letter from Ldbon, that General• De Laborde, commanding the Fiat Divifion of the Army of the Gironde, has been ap. pointed Commandant of that city, and sof all the French aad Portuguefe troops in it. HAVRE, DECEMBER tr. The day before yeßerday an American veffel, with a rich cargo of colonial produce, came in and an chored in our roads. The maritime Prefea imme diately fent on board of her an officer of the prin cipal office, and an interpreter. The officer put this queßion to the Captain :—" Have you not touched at England lince you quitted the United States ?" 46 Yes," faid the Captain, " I was forcibly carried into Plymouth by an Englifh frigate." Upon this declaration, which was in dire& cootradiftion to the decree refpating the continental blockade, the veffel was prohibited from entering, and an order to with draw was intimated to her. THE EVENING STAR- LONDON. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Confols, for sec. 641—Reduced 63f—Omniurn t; prem. Exchequer Bills is. pre. Some time ago we Rated, that it was a prevailing opinion in fume well informed political circles, that Ceuta would probably 'oe foon attacked by his Ma jelly's forces. In corroboration of this we have now to Rate, that in a policy of infurance, done yefterday at LLOYD'S, on a vein' bound to the Mediterranean, this claufe was introduced—"" with liberty to call at Ceuta." We porters no certain information on the fuhjea, but we know that the tro o p s w hi c h f a il e d f rom Sicily for Gibraltar, with General Sir J. Mooa e, were not landed, hut Rill on board the tranfports when the laf accounts left that place; that General Mooße is to co operate with Sir SIDNEY Stems in a common enterprize ; and that his vilit to Sir SIDNEY, off the Tagus, was to arrange their operations. Why were they nut immediately entered upon ? The anfwer feems to be, that they were waiting for an additional force from England. The objea of the Eapedition under General SEEN. CER and Sir C. Covron, we are well informed, is not a very dißant one ; and we therefore conclude that this force will join Sir Sinoty's and General Mot:ma's. We therefore think we (hall loon hear of Ceuta being in poffeflion of the Brit' fh. We ought, h owever, to mention another opinion which is Rrongly maintained by tome; that the whole of the above force is defined to makt an attack on Cadiz, to get poffefflon of the Spanilh fleet. A lttter from Cadiz mentions the arrival there of a body of French troops, and defcribes the confler nation that generally prevails throughout Spain, and that an attack from us was apprehended at Cadiz. INDIA. By the Indiamen, lately arrived, Bombay papers, in feries, to the 25th of July have been received.— No accounts, to the latefi date, had reached Bombay of the extra fhip Skelton Cattle. The arrival of the Chicheller, Captain BLAKE, gni defpaired of for feveral months, under fimilar circu mllances. Of the other miffing (hips, the Blenheim and Java, lime flight mention is made in a paragraph in the Bombay Courier, which thews the Rate they were in, when the leen particnlars were known of them. From paffengers by the India fleet we have received pleating information concerning the Rate of affairs in our visit Oriental empire. HOLBAR is in a Date of defpondency ; he no longer projeas any further ails of enmity—on the contrary, no dilquietude remains on the part of the natives under our authority. At Bombay the inter ell has fallen from 9 to 6 per cent.. From the fame quarter we have received intelli. gence concerning the Greyhound, commanded by Captain Tanwasincs (fon of Sir THOMAS Taow• BRIDGE). This veffel was fent in quell of the wrecks of the Blenheim and Java. She had al rived at the Cape, whence the was to proceed to Madagafcar and the contiguous iflands. At the fame time there were alfo arrived at tbe Cape five (hips with troops from England, which were to fail under cnnvny the Grampus man of war, the fame which had concluded the Bombay veffels to the Cape. FRANCE 4ND HOLLAND French and Dutch papers, and letters to the 18th infiant were received lull night. TALLMAN!) had nit reached Utrecht, but was daily expelled. King Louts's health is rapidly declining, and as he intends to vilit France, it is luppofed that TALLITRAND will be declared regent in his abfence. The letters from Holiana continue to complain of the rigid execution of BONA parrs!, decrees, and the extenfive interpretation given to 'them by his agents. An American Ibip loaded with colonial produce, of French origin, wa• lately obliged to put to lea from a Dutch port, to avoid condemnation, which was threatened merely upon the ground that tile had, in the condi of her voyage from the United States, been tifited, and for Tome time detained by a Britith frigate. The letters from France (late, that the French troops entered Li(bon on the 3oth ult. but this we apprehend to reR on the fir( erroneous accounts which appeared in the Englins papers. Colonial produce has not experienced any advance in France. Our Orders of Council were known at the time there letters were written. A letter from Bourdeaux, of the loth inllant,alfo confirms the fad. Yenerday a detachment of the 97th Regiment pared through Chatham on their way to Brabourn Lees Barracks. Another detachment is expeded there today. The 7th and Bth Regiments at Portfmouth have received their route to march from that garrifon and from Gofport, to Silver Hill, The Cheihire Regi ment a Militia, are to come into Portfmouth garri fon, to fupply the place of the sd Somerfet, who are to remain at Salilbury. A letter from Gibraltar Rates that the Algerire Cotfair. are peculiarly aflive againft the Americans, nine of whole veirels they have already captured. Letters dated the 13th of OCtober, from Rio de Janeiro, Rate that the Britith fleet (which is recently returned) had left Monte Video the isth of Septem ber, but had not then paired the Brazil coalt. It feems that an officer, who had landed there, had confidently aliened that though the Engla fret were bound by the capitulation to touch at England, they would certainly return to Montc Video, the ultimate poireffion of that pat being on no account abandoned. Roasar CHAMBERS, Efq. anant Surgeon in his Majefly's gun brig Strenuous, lately off Brighton, is appointed full Surgeon to the Nautilus sloop of war, nuw fitting for fervice, at Chatham. Several paragraphs have lately found their way into the London newfpapers, originating in country journals, and calculated to imprefs the Public with ideas of the magnanimity and prowefs of the Game Chitin:, lately fo celebrated in the annals of Boxing. We have taken the trouble of enquiring into the truth of tome of thefe rhodommtades, and the refult Las.' proved them to be fiaitic us. The dory of his lately refcuing a female from the flames at Ballo!, andthip rencontre with the three game keepers, fo gravely told in the provincial newfpapers, are completely Life. A quarrel originated on Saturday evening at a Ciiffee houfe in Oxford-flreet, between Lieutenant GOULDITCH (of the army) And Mr. %Vim-virus, a gentleman of fortune, and the tipliew i t a Field Offi:er. in confequence of the latter having kicked a Newfoundland dog belonging to the former, which was growling at his feet. High words enfued, and lime blows were exchanged, after which a challenge was given and accepted. The parties were to have met on }fountlow Heath yeflerday morning, but in formation having been received of• the intention, the Lieutenant was prevented by being held in fureties to keep the peace. Ltt.t.o's Tragedy of George Barnwell was performed laft night at bush Theatres, and in both followed by a new pantomime. Mrs.Powaces Millwood, at Drury Lane, was an energetic performance ; nor was Mrs eIgITH, at Covent Garden, lets attractive, where the facinating and feduaive qualities of the charaeler were necetTary. The amiable, but unfortunate vic tim of the piece was well reprefented at both houfes by Mr. H. Sins.ms and Mr. C. KE mime. Mifs Noa vores Maria pofft:lfed all the qualities of her other pet formancea ; nor was Mifs B:ryck deficient in the amiable foftnefs and fenfibility of that charafter.— Both houfes, in expeCtation of the holiday treat, were very much crowded. The Pamomime introduced at Covent Garden, is intitled Harlertirs in his Ekment ; of the plot of which the following is a (ketch Sir Amorous Sordid, the guardian of Columbine, entertains de ages on the perfon of his ward, in order to become poffered of her ORate. The pleafure ground of the covetous guardian i s f u pp o f e d to be tbe actual rendezvous of fairies, who derive their power from the four elements. Thefe fupernamral agents agree to unite their influence, to extricate Columbine from the tyranny of her gaoler, and by a mixture of their magic attributes, they produce Harle quin, and endue him wish power to fafeinate the lovely prifoncr, and difappoint her guardian's views—the ufual trickery, purfuits, dangers, and eleapes, then commence, and continue through eighteen or nineteen bury fcenes, each exhibiting a motley vatiety of artificial magic and changeable machineryaill the pa rti coloured agent and the objet of his cares are united, in a grand temple of the elements; in which temple there are feveral grand perfpedive diviflons, each appertaining to one oft he fairies, and their atten dant genii, who are fuppofed to inhabit it. At Dru , y Lane, the grand Pantomime was en titled Furibord ; or, Harlequin Negro. The piece ccmmmees with a view of a Coffee Plantation Sir Velma Ataique having vifited his peffeffions in the Weft Indies, and arra• gi.d his affairs, prepares to return to England. The hand of his daughter is fulicited by Furibond, an enchanter. but Ihe prefers a Negro Slave, who is changed into Harlequin by thc Fairs Benigna. The reale changes to Greenwicii Park, with a view of the River, Ste. AU the panics arc brought to England. where the bufinefs of the pied proceeds to the conclufion, which confifts in Furibood's being con figned to his cell, while Harlequin and Columbine are tranfported to the palace of the Fairy. In refpeft to the peculiar merits and demerits of each, the Public will be better able to decide after a repetition of the performances. Lad night there were detail in the execution of both, which will, no doubt, be remedied ; it is, however, but jullice to fay, that the performance at Covent-garden went off with much greater eclat than at Drury-lane, on account of the almoll inceffant failure of the machinery of Furi bond; infomuch, that towards the end of the piece, the patience of the audience was quite tired out, and the voice of difapprobation was fo loud, that it was diffi cult to fay whether the majority vas not againft it , repetition.--The curtain at this houfe did not fall till nearly twelve o'clock! The Drury-lane Pantomime is got up under the particular direetion of Mr. Ifiteurrow, the mechanill, and that of CJvent Garden by Mr. FARLEY—thc mufic of the former by Mr. Coring:a., and that cl the latter by Mr. WARS. Mg'. SHARP was the Columbine at Drury lane, and there is not a better on the Rage. Mifs ADAMS, who, on this occafion, made her debit In Gohnabise, at Covent-Garden ; and the old favourites, Mars. Bow-it:Hu and GIUMALDI, were exceedingly aCtive and ingenious, and received the loudeft applanfe. The Mites H. Ss and E. Assam danceska Pas de Tress, and were WO; lunch applauded.
