From Paris we learn, that the music of " rams swr is ap - ;predated and judged a &Idiom. Four successive represen tations of the piece have established its fame, and the more it is beard the greater is the admiration for the beauty of its partitions— the genius of this great Master here takes its full career—and the monument he has erected is more doable than iron. We do not Aare whether Rosana has composed his Overture after the com pletion of the Opera, or conceived it by inspiration—like the other morsels of his work ; but this is certain, it is disembarrassed of any thing like fatigue or restraint in its style, noble and majestic. full of taste, grace, warmth, and harmony. The " Cantabile; " fee Ave violinellos, is an original morsel, which yields to nothing in the beauty of be melody, and disputes applause with the beautiful Al legro which follows it. After the Ilse introductory Choruses, a Duo by Arnold and William Tell produces an admirable ant.— The magnificent details in the scenes and finale which follow, sparkle with charms of the Are order. The sealed act is enriched with a grand Hunting Chorus, and a Duo of unequalled sweetness ; to. /ether with a Trio between Tell, Arnold, and Walter, sufklent In itself 14 have formed the reputation of Rousso.

Mr. Simpson has been very officious; and bliss Foote is very impertinent. Mr. Simpson is Minister of St. Peter's, Derby ; bliss Foote is the present star in the Thestre of that ancient 80. . ough. Mr. Simpson earnestly advised Miss Foote to " withdraw from her engagement, out of regard to the morals of kit Suck and her own character." To if hick Miss Foote, or somebody for bar, is said to have replied in the following manner : " Ton appear to be a very well-intentioned sort of a person. and tbetefore I consider your letter as kind in its purpose, though very weakly imagined. Surely your care of 7,000 souls might have been an ample apology for your not looking after more particularly as my lodgings are not in your parish. Your main object appears to be to induce me to break my engagement and run away. Miss Love, lam told, did so recently at Not tingham, but I tear not much to her credit. It is well that you are not Mayor of the Borough of Derby. as well as the Curate of St. Peter's, otherwise I might have been whipped out of the town as a vagabond.

" Dr. George Horne was a 'man of unaffected piety, cheerful temper, great learning, and. notwithstanding his propensity to j e sting. r ed manners. He was much beloved in Magdalen College, which he was president ; the chief complaint against him being. that he did not reside the whole of the time in every year that the statutes required. He resigned his headdilp_on being .promoted front the Deanery of Canterbury to the See of Norwich ; the alleged reason was, the incompatibility of the dunes; though abscheads of homes, when made Bishops, have retained their academdcal situations. He never manifested the least ill-hem our hiniodl, and repressed it, but with gentleness, in others.

On the connexion between the Egyptians and Israelites, and the sojourn of the latter during the eighteenth dynasty, and the Pharaohs at that time mentioned in the Holy Scripture. It seems now settled, by the best ebronologers, that the mode of Israel took place in the year 1490-1 A.C.: k occurred. therefore, in the Reign of Amenoph-Rameses (father of Smarts, and NA of Meiansosm), who began his reign anno 1493 A.C. (vide Ist Lotus au Due de Mayas, Not. Chrunolegique, p. 117, and the othecau dimities). It follows, that nemeses bleismoun was the Pharaoh front whose face Moses led when he bad slain the Egyptian • for Meiantoun reigned slaty-six years, commencing in 1550 A.C. ; Moses was eighty years of age when summoned by the angel in Horeb, after the death of that Prince, and probably in the first year of Atnenoph- Hanna's, before whom be was ordered to ap pear; Moses had been exiled forty year. in Midis", being forty years of age when be led (vide Bible); therefore he must have led in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Aleiamoun. and meat have been born in the reign of Mandood (the Acbeocheres U. of Manetho), who ascended the throne in 13113, i. e. about the deb teen* year of that Prince. It seems probable that Gelid (Ph'oasirei. the Busiris of the Greeks?), Mandouei, and Mehl moon, were the Pharaohs that persecuted Israel ; and that Israel had been persecuted by their predecessors, Amenophis 11., 'loth mods IV., Amenophis 111. (Memnon), and Horus,—wlns Kanto have been good and beneficent Princes, and as such highly bestowed by the Egyptians. It was in the reign of Amenophis 11. (son of Morris) that Joseph came into Egypt (and afterwards Jacob, i. e. from 171$ A.C. to 1706, vide the Cbroaology). The other Princes, Osirsi and his successors, appear to have been san guinary tyrants and conquerors (vide their tombs, bas-reliefs. &c.) ; and being of a race collateral to the former Kings (vid. Not. Chronologique ~ 107) might have been called the " kings who knew not ,losepit." Their oppressions of Israel were punished in the time of their descendant Amenopb- Raman ; and whe ther or set this Prince perished personally in the Red Sea (which may be doubted, as it is no where expressly so said in Scripture. except loom passage of one theAUeluis Psalms.whkh were probably composed after the Habylonish captivity), It is clear that great and serious calamities betel Egypt in his time, as de. dared by the historian Manetho. therein corroborating the Mosaic account. it is likely that on this account, with his unfortunate and unhappy reign the Meets chose to conclude the eighteenth dynasty. and commence a new one, the nineteenth, with the accession of his son, Rameses-Sethos. the semen's of the Greeks—as being a reign of peculiar prosperity and glory. The long wandering of Israel in the desert of Sinai, forty years. more than twenty of which cones pond with the early years of the reign of Sesestris, during which many of hisgteat conquests on the side of Syria and Palestine must have been achieved, sufficiently accounts for Moses and the Israelites not mentioning him, and not having met with him; as they would base been in the peninsula of Sinai, and afterwards pro ceeding by Mount Her, and to the eastward of the Dead Sea— while &monis prob ably penetrated Into Palestine, &c. from Pelustum " aloes the sea coast." He is said to have returned into Egypt the same way (tide Diodorus and the Manetho). May it not be supposed that the Divine influence (operating by strand came* whenever a miracle was not absolutely necessary) directed Moms to proceed by Sinai, Mount Hoe, and eastward of the Dead Sea, is order that Israel might be out of the way of Seam:tie, and that they might ultimately have the advantage of attacking the Canaanitish natloss after their power should have been broken by the previous invasion of Smarts ; and it is cipressly said, that Moses was not allowed to lead Israel by the way of the Philistines slow/ the oast) "lest they should see war." The extreme youth of Sethorffiatneses (Sesosuls) at the time of the geode, as described by Mambo (vide Diode. Sic.) is well accounted for by the death of the eldest son of the King, at the time of the de minted= of the first-born of Egypt. Of this there can be no doubt, as it is expressly stated by Moses.

An adjourned meeting of creditors and others interested was held yesterday, for the purpose of following up the efforts previously made to effect some arrangement which might retrieve the desperate affairs of the concern. It will be seen, however, that no progress was made towards that result. Mr. Gamma blooms (who was galled to the (hair) reminded the meeting of the resolution adopted on the former occasion, re commending that the amicable suggestion of the lord Chancellor for a reference should be adopted. This resoled= bad been com municated to the several proprietors, and their answers should be read to the meeting. Letters were aceordingly read from the Solicitors of Messrs. Coast and Harris; the former excusing Mr. Coast from being a party to a reference on account of the nature of his interest, aid representing that he could sot have been centempbted in th e sug gestion of the Lord Chancellor. The SoHeltonal Mr, Harris stated that they bad forwarded to him the resolution of the Meeting, bat that there bad not been time for an answer. Mr. Lowanam produced letters from his clients, Messrs. Wil ktt. Forbes, and linable, observing that the answers of the two former came from Boulogne. the same place where Mr. Harris is at present. These Gentlemen all stated their readiness to acquiesce in the suggestion of the Lord atancellor, or in any proposi. ton which might be considered for the advantage of the creditors ; and they spoke in terms of acknowledgeneet and commendation of the liberal conduct of Mr. Hanky at the last meeting. Mr. (immerses' referred to a ;minted paper which was distri buted in the room, charging him with baying written. between the 17th of May and the 12th of July. 10 293 orders ; which. at the value of 7s. each, would amount to 3.8311. Is ; while. at the same time, as was alleged, he excluded Mr. liania's orders and hit friends. Mr. Robertson observed, that whenever he wrote orders it was always under the direction of the proprietors, and for the interest of the theatre. He hoped all who knew him felt that he was incapable of doing any thing of the kind for any private or personal object. Mr. Wm. Moose, a creditor, said that some facts had been kept front the creditors which were highly detrimental to their Interests. There was a paper in the room which he desired should be read. It appeared from it that Mr. Robertson had come into the Theatre as Oerk and Treasurer. at a salary of £lOO or £250,. which was afterwards increased to £4OO. In the course of the present year Mr. Willett petitioned that this gentleman's eatery should he in creased to £650 a-year, and that this advance should go back to 1624, which would have the effect of raising a debt doe to him of £1,230, and it was required that this sum should be paid nut of the money now in Court. At the same time it was worth remarking that Mr. Dunn, at Drury-lane, had but SON. a year. Mr. Moore then observed that all that had been done at the former meetings was not for the benefit of the creditors, but to screen Messrs. Kemble, Willett. and Forbes, who had been the ruin of the theatre—(Order, order). There was no doubt that the theatre was ruined, and it was equally certain that Mr. Harris could not have dote that. since be bad not interfered for the last seven or eight years. The creditors called out fur Mr. Harris. What could Mr. Harris give them—a man without a penny, without a home— driven from his home by Messrs. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes? Several Gentlemen protested against the tone of Mr. Moore 's remarks, and Mr. Lownsies was in the course of addressing the Chair, but was interrupted by Mr. Moore, who indulged in some extremely harsh language against the three gentlemen whom he bad named. He was again called to order for speaking in so offensive a strain, and persevering when another gentleman was in posses sion of the Chair. Mr. /dooms Men appealed to a gentleman present whether be was oat of order. Mr. Romney, M.P. observed that the Chairman was the person is he appealed to on a point of order. Mr. Was. Moons said that the Chairman was not, in this in. wane?, the person who ought to decide. as he was placed there by the lessees having a claim for some 254 or WI. besides being an intimate friend of Mr. Robertson and the party who called the Meeting. Mr. Moons, the Chairman. begged to set the gentleman right. It was true his interest was not a large one ; bit he was scarcely acquainted with Mr. Robertson web. preprietots. Mr. WILLIAM MOORs renewed his animadversion upon Messrs. Kembie. Willett, and Forbes, and added, that there were men in the room who bad eaten the tread of Mr. Henry MOMS and Ms father for 40 or SO years. He was seen that they bad sot the colorise to moms forward. and my even mote than be had done. He then added a ^Section upon the sharatters et Minn. Kensble, Willett. and Feebet,whieb met with a marked andante. sal mptession of disapprobation. The paper alluded to by Mr. Moore was then read. and am. taped in more detail the &area which be bad stated. Mr. itomalsoe said be bad received Mt a year salary as treasurer. The 4001. was for his receivership, and was totally die. dna tram the other. He was at all times ready to give any es• plaaatioas. if necessary, and bad no objection even to his ledger being ezakined. Mr. WIWI' eapreseed his anxiety that some middle line might be drawn between the two conlicting decrees of the Vke Chancellor and the Lord Chancellor. He thought that if some individual, a friend to both parties, were to take the natter up, an accommodation migkt be effected. An agreement had been entered into lam year, which was all but compleied.and he thought that it ought to form the basis of any arrangement which might be attempted. He recommended that the agreement should be read, as it might possibly suggest to the mind of some gentlemen present some course which timid be benefidal.-.-The paper was read, but se reposition was founded upon it. Mr. ROM= conceived that he mum have been glanced at by some of the observations of Mr. Moore. I. was true that be had bees nearly forty years connected with Covent Garden Theatre; sad that, during Mr. Handle's time, be had received every possible personal kindness from him. But the debt which was due to him was !scarred by Mr. Harris and his father ; and be (Mr. Fawcett) should feel himself a very ungrateful man, if be sat by and beard Masan. Kemble, Willett, and Forbes, rated as they had been, when the fact was that the greater part of the debt incurred by the Messrs. Hartle has been paid him by the Gentlemen against whom Mr. Moore bad indulged lo soeb gross language.—as well as his having received the whole of his salary. as, he believed, bad been the case with every other actor of Ce. vest-garden. Having said that these gentlemen were not such wretches as they had been represented, be would beg to throw out for consideration a point which appeared to have been lost sight of. Those gentlemen seemed to think that the property was so much their own that they might open, or shot it, or do what they pleased. But they would find that " they reckoned with. oot their host." When the patent was granted by Charles the Second to Killigrew, it was not fur the profit of the individual, but for the benefit of the public. The moment that the patent was suffered to lie dormant. Goveransent would step In, say the potent bad been forfeited, withdraw it, and give authority to other parties. He was glad that his friend Batley had spoken as be had; and he was sure that the actors of Covent-garden would all support him. if the 'Theatre was shut this season, away would go the patent altogether. Mr. Was. Moose complained of the large sums annually drawn from the Theatre by some gentlemen. Mr. Robertson, 6504 Sir George Smart. 1,0001.; Mr. Mutton, he believed, 50o1.—(He appealed to Mr. Robertson whether he was right In this latter statement.) That gentleman said, " No, Sir, like most of your statements, is extremely inaccurate" /Ir. Moose said that there were 44 voo a. ear paid amongst eight managers. He added- 4 * Mr. Horace Twist, Sir George Murray's Secretary. is here making his laugh and his sneers. It would be more becomingin Mat if be were at home." Mr. Twies.—Sir, I will not allow you to make observations upon me. lam here as a private person. Mr. Mooss.—lf Mr. Twin sneers, he must expect to be an swered. Mr. Twiss- 44 When I address you. you may answer ate. If you say publicly what is ridiculous, you mud expect to to laughed at. I only jobbed in the general laugh." Several gentlemen complained of the irregularity of Mr. Moure's obeervatieos, and wished that. instead of continuing that entree, be would suggest any thing of benefit. Mr. Mimes said that nothing beneficial to the creditors could be expected at a meeting in the saloon of the theatre, and called together by the parties wills whom these meetings originated. After some further coovereatios, the meeting bathe up abruptly, without any resolution being adopted or proposed. GZNESAL DIEDITSCII.—This General, who has dis tinguished himself so mach in the resent war between Russia and Turkey, is a =dye of Mkt* and first signalised himself M the campaign of 1114, when he commanded the advanced gourd of General Wittgenstein. at the battle of Potosi', on the Mb of October, and contributed not s little to the victory of that day.— Afterwards. in November of the lame year, he marched on the Reredos. and compelled the French division of Partonneaue to lay down their arms near Btaret-Borisow. In the December fol lowing be marched on the Niemen, and threw himself boldly, with only two thousand men, between the Prussian corps and Generals D'Yorek and Mameabach, and concluded with them the celebrated cooventien of Radians. In the campaign of 1114. be commanded a division of the army which Pleaded France ; and he fought with great bravery at Montosirail on the 17th of February in that year. DISSENTERS.
