Letters from Amfterdam, dated February t r, (late that , d for force time paft a great number of failors, and about 800 newly-railed marines, have been fent to the Texel for the fleet. A great number of failors have been alfo fent to Helvoetfluys for the divilion of the Meufe. It is alfo laid, that Admiral BRUIX has agreed with the Batavian Government upon a plan for the fpeedy organiza tion of the fleet, as alfo for its dellination. Al though we muff be ignorant of the latter point, it is however certain, that this fleet, confining of nineteen fhips of the line and eight frigates, will carry a confiderable corps of French and Batavian troops for landing. The politicians already begin to form conjectures on the objeft of this expecli on. Some of them effed a defcent in Scotland ; others retake the Cape of Good Hope, while others fend this armament to the Eaft Indies, there to give a deadly blow to the Englifh power." On account of his Mararrv's continued indif polition, a notice was yefterday iffited by the Loan CHAMBERLAIN, that there would be no more Le vees or Drawing-rooms till further notice.

Should this tax not be paid in ten days, their effeCts will be put under fequearation. The Oratorio of the Messier' proved confider ably aura& ve, 'aft night, at Covent Garden Thea tre. The houfe difplayed a very numerous and fplendid attendance; and the reiterated burfts of applaufe, which many parts of the performance, particularly the choruffes, experienced, augur a fuecefsful fe.r:on to the affiduous and deferving Manager. ANCIENT CONCIRT.—The Company was laft night very numerous, but none of the ROYAL FA MILY were prefent. Lord DARNLRY was the DireCtor. The principal fingers were Madame BAST!, Mars. HARRISON and B DWI. At the end of the 6ra aft, the audience were unex peCtedly gratified with God Jaw the King, which, with the following additional ftanza, was moll rapturoufly applauded, viz. Lord ! is our pray'r attend; Health in thy mercy fend To Orosee oar KING. All ill from him remove; Long may he 1:-se to prove ; Hir grateful People's love Gas fare the Kiva! The new Novel by Mr. SMITH, entitled " The RUNAWAY," is nearly out of print, fo great has been the demand for this truly excellent pro dation after the Old School. The author of The Millennium is yet unknown to trs : we have advertifed his fatirical poem—and we have perufed it with much entertainment. It is a flrong proof of the merit of the prefent age, that real . genius is combined with real modeffy. ft is curious to think .that the only two Satires poffeffed of intrinfic value, which have lately ap peared before the public—The Millettaiwn we mean, and The Parfaits of Literature, are almoft the only poems whole Authors we have not been able to difcover. Yekrday morning, about ten o'clock, a fire broke out at the houfe of an Orange Merchant, near Fleet-market, which deftroyed part of the infide of the premifes, together with fome of the property, but was foon extinguillred by the timely affillance of the firemen and engines. On Saturday fe'nnight, Mr. RaLri HINDER. sow, of Sunderland, flip-chandler, unfortunately fell over the Fol.ly.euti into the Wear, and was drowned. TIMATRE . Tuefday night a fetnimentd Comedy, entitled Deaf ded - DlOlfh, or, is Ortlaa protelfelis was per formed for the firft time to a crowded and bril liant audience, with univerlldapphufe. The piece is a free erassflatim from a play of KOTZIMUI. Count liareetenwr, chief of an illultrlous houfe, and Fire Magiftrate of Thouloufe, has an only fon without the faculties of hearing or fpeech, but of the quicken parts, the keened ienfibility, and the molt amiable difpofition. This helplcfs hut interefting child be leaves cn his death-bed to the care of M. Darlemoet, his maternal uncle. No fooner does the guardian enter upon office, than he takes his ward to Paris, to fee whether his ma lady is incurable, and here he forms the diaboli cal defign of Petting the unhappy orphan a,trift upon the world, and taking polfeffion of his im ' nienfe elate. By means of his fervent Dupr; he actually executes the projea. The boy isexpored in a beggar's drefs on the Pont-Neuf; feveral wit neffes are fuborned to fwear that they Paw him die under an operation, and the inhuman Dar/intent continues undifputed mater for years of all his fair polleffions. In the mean time he himfelf is picked up by an officer of the police, and delivered to the Abbe De 12.Epie, a man who has immor ! talifed his name by the invention of a method for inaruaing the deaf and dumb, and fill more by the patience, affiduity, and benevolence he has I difplayed in following it. Under the tuition of this philanthropin be improves in the molt alto nifhing manner, and learns to communicate his knowledge with the greaten facility. The Abbe is at length able to difcover from him that he is the fon of a Supreme Judge of one of the princi pal towns in the South of France.—More it was impollible for him to learn—bat with this leanly ' information he determines to reftore him to his rights. and, though now aged and infirm, makes a pedeßrian tour with him over all that part of the kingdom. Several great towns they vifit with out fuccefs ; but at IA they approach the gates of Thouloufe. It is here the action begins. By the tranfports of joy which Theodore difplays, the Abbe learns that his labours are over. After re turning folemn thanks to the ALMIGHTY, they en ter the city, and loon find out the houfe of Ohl Count Harawour, now inhabited- by Derfratemi. They apply to Franval, an eminent advocate, and as Theodore is recognized by his nurfe, and feveral others who fee him, and as Dupri, who had all along been torn with remorfe, threatens to divulge ,the whole fiory to the Magiftrates, the ufurper confents to reinflate his nephew in all his rights. St. A/me, Darien:met fon, is made to be in love with Marianne, the finer of Framed ; and the ob facies to their union form much of the bufinefs of the Piece, and their union, brought about by Theodore, gives eekt to the conclufion of it. Such are the incidents upon which this drama tic edifice is conneaed. The progrefs of the bufinefs is not denitute of &ill and conneetion, but there is at times a gloominefs of detail, and a falli dious reiteration of fentiment, that call a great heavinefs over the fcene. The/we/re is too pre dominant to render the Piece popular ; and the Poet, inftead of a moralift, becomes the preacher of a conventicle. It is, however, the puree and molt edifying of KOTZFAUE'S 'Dramas; and al though the charaeters are not marked with traits I f origmalgeni us, the fohjeepoire nit all the attraction which can be derived from the combination of the new and the probable. Nothing of the kind was ever attempted before ; sad the Audience, fatigued with hearing, upon fuch occafions, aukward imi tations of What they bad heaki a thoufand times, lent a favourable eye to this original exhibition. It ought not to be forgot, in fpeaking of its merits, that its moral, unlike that of moll other Gerrran produaions, is not ,only unexceptionable, but ex cellent—Abet thole who fee it performed will not only leave the Theatre with their principles un debauched, but with a greater love of virtue, and a deeper abhorrence of guilt. In this all mull be agreed, that it was admirably performed. There was not a fingle part which was not well fu Rained ; and Tome of the altors did greater junice to the meaning of the Author, than he could have been fanguine enough to expel. Among thefe we mid reckon Mils DICAM v, who reprefented the deaf and dumb Theodore. Her expreffions, by figns, of the ftrong emotions which agitated her mind,were ex tremely impre ffi ve, and met with the molt unbound ed applaufe. Mr.Ks maLa, in De L'Epie, delineated with great ability that venerable charafter. The re morfe and mifery attendant on goilt were well pour. trayed by Mr. WROUGHTON in Darknumt, and, though by very different means, by Mr. BANNISTIUt jun. in Dupre. The parts of Madeam Fri:rival, and Claudine were refpeafully fuftained by Mifs POPS and Mrs. SPARES. Mrs. MOUNTAIN, in the cha raaer of Marianne, introduced a beautiful air, the , words of which are by Mr. LEWIS, and the mufic by Mr. KELLY. It was loudly encored: What tho Fate forbid, me offer Golden gifta train Fortune's Rom All I have, to Lose I proffer, Fortune cannot offer more. What tho' bright the jewelEd treafutt. Which Perwries mines fupply, Brighter /till One tear of pleaturt, Sparkling in Affeetion's eye. Hymen, in his power for ever Fain the God of hearts world hold, Binding oft, oh! vain endeavour, Love with into...ll—chains of gold. Secs their weight his Itrength cierpow'n. Soon they cram the pretty elf; Love can bear no chains bat &were, Light asd blowninLT as !green'. The Prologue of Deaf and Drind, a kind of in troduiftion to the (tory, w.is well delivered by Powszt., as was an Epilogue by Miff Ds Cairn reftored to the knowledge of fpeech, and the general propenlity of her fez to make an abun dant ale of their tongues. The applaufe at the final fall of the curtain was loud and univerfal, and the pleb cannot fail to become a favourite. 1 ,$
