tmfoulded. The tont fun at twss only four clays ots her passage., and landed her Mails at Aldborottgb this rootsiug. There remained but one packet at Gottenbargh, and there have been none at Heligdl4nd for this week past.- A letter from Gottenbargh, dated October 22, says, ". By'the last accounts received from head:quarters, a general engagement was ezpected to take pl•+ce.on the 13th or 14th inst.; at the very latest a battle must have been fought on the 16th or 16th. The CROWN Papices head-quarters were at —, his army at Halle, Chemnitz, and Gros-Kugel. The Austrians, as Well as the Russians and Bavarians, bad joined him. The sleety with Bavaria was signed on the Bth inst." • For the events above alluded to, we were fully pre pared : the junction of the Bavarian Army with that of the Austrians recently opposed to it, will enable the Allies to overwhelm BEAUHARVOIS in Italy, and a few days will inform us whether the Italians them- I selves are disposed any longer to fight merely to gra- , tify the personal ambition of the man who claims the honour of giving them a country." BEAU mams might have with truth added, that Italy was not given up to its lawful possessors until it was stripped of every thing which could make it valuable to them. But ingratitude is now the order of the day with all those on whom BONAPAR?a has con ferred favours, and like other bad examples, it will be adopted because it is the fashion. The defection of Bavaria must have been known at Paris many days ago-.-it no doubt accelerated the depression in the French funds, which we have recently no ticed. Indeed all the private accounts from that ca. vital state, that at no period was gloom and discon tent more prevalent, and the utmost degree of em barrassment is said to prevail in all the departments! of ►state for the want of money to supply even the ordinary expences of the Government. A loan of from 5 to 600 millions of franks has been required, but we have not heard that a single sons has been procured. It was proposed to reim bttrse the lenders by bonds secured on the revenues of the succeeding years resulting from the Custom honse duties and general taxes. This is something like calling out the Conscription two years in ad vante—it is eating the corn while in the ear with a 'vengeance 1 With respect to the threat against Berlin, alluded to in the Bulletin, we see no cause for alarm. The cusps tent against it if that of Marshal NET only ; acid his whole force, according to former accounts, did not exceed 26,000 men. General TAUENZIEN /las 16,000 regular troops under him, and has con tedrated upon the Prussian capital, aided by 40,000 troops, who, we presume, must mean the Landwher, err Lanasturm. In the mean time, it cannot be denied, that unless the main French army, under BONAPARTE in person, is crippled by some general engagement, the detached corps d'artnee under NEY will be in full communica tion with his master ; and the demonstration upon Berlin will probably be kept up, with a view to tempt the CROWN PRINCE to detach his army from the grand sithstit drrawn around Leipsic. The recent movements of the Allies seem to have been made, upon the conviction that Bowavanre would force his -way to the French frontiers at all risks, and they therefore prepared to join issue with MR on the Saale and Mulda. He has; however, de clined the challenge, and loiters upon the Elbe with the view, as it would seem, of forcing his opponents once more to break up from their favourite ground. He thinks it gives them too many chances. Letters brought by a vessel arrived at Holyhead, dated New York, the th September, were received in town this morning. They do not contain any po litical news. Yesterday at two o'clock, a Cabinct Council was held at the Foreign Office, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministcrs, except the Loan CHAN CELLOR. The Earl ot WENTIIOII.ELAND was present for the first time since he came to Town. The Coun cil broke tip at half-past four. After the breaking up of the Cabinet Council, bn Tuesday, Major SYDENIIANI had an interview with ,Lord Viscount CASTLERFAGEI, and received his final instructions for his mission to Germany, and left Town soon after to proceed on his journey. Yester day letters were received in Town, from the Major, dated at Harwich. _ _ The Marquis of NERTFORD is expected in town on Saturday, in order to attend his Royal Highness the PRANCE REGENT to the House of Peers. _ _ - - _ Yesterday the Earl of BATHURST gave a grand Mi nisterial dinner, at his house in Mansfield street. A Palace is shortly to be erected in the PRINCE RE meT's Park, for the accommodation of ter Royal Highness, the Princess CHARLOTTE. The Duke of Bmoroun's intended sojourn at Lis *on proceeds from an apprehension of a severe attack ' , of the pulmonary affection to which his Grace has 'been long subject. He paid a similar visit to Lisbon 'some years back, when. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and re turned perfectly restored. ;The Winter begins to appear sooner than is usual in this happy,climate - yet how delightful by a good fire to anticipate the pleasures to be derived from a share of a Twenty Thousand Pound Prize, in the ad mirable Lottery to begin Drawing on Wednesday Next ? and, as the advantages are unexampled, the Tickets few, the Prizes many, and the demand great, lose no time but purchase immediately. Wednesday next the State Lottery will begin drawing. Tickets and Shares are selling by RICH /MOWN, GOODLUCIt, and Co.

REPORTEb ARREsT oP 'MURAT, (KIM OF NAPLZ&) • I..etters'reeetved ht Town this &teleran From ,Acne of the out ports, state, on the . anthorfri•O reports prevalent among the fishermen on the Dutch coast, that MURAT had arrived at the Head-quarters of the French Army, in Obedience to orders ;Sand that, After a short interview with BONAPARTZ, he was sent, under a strong guard, to . Magdeburg, where he re mains as a State Prisoner. THE ARMY. Yesterday Sir THOMAS GRAHAM transacted busi ness with the COMMANDER in Cunt, at his Office at the Horse Guards. In consequence of the augmentation of two troops to each Hussar Regiment, the 15th Light Dragoons has at piesent two vacant Lieutenantcies without pur chase, and not a Cornet in the regiment to receive the promotion. We understand a large quantity of Congreve rockets have been lately forwarded to Lord Wu.- movoles army in Spain. The men belonging to the British Militia who re fuse to accompany their respective Corps to Ireland, are formed into a separate battalion, for duty at Sheerness. Sir JOHN Luicmaa had a most severe fall with his horse, while exercising his fine regiment of Yeomanry in Tabley Park last week, but we are happy to `find no bad consequences are likely to ensue. SPORTING .EXTR.AORDINAR r. STEEPLE CHASE.—On Wednesday se'nnight an ex cellent Steeple Chase was run by the Members of the Armagh Hunt, for a silver cup, value £5O. The ground was admirably well chosen. The course was visible in its whole extent from all the surrounding bills, and presented to the eye a perfect anphitheatre at one mile and a half in circumference. The com petitors galloped round this circle twice, crossing the river Callen four times during the progress of the chase. At a particular pan of the course they had to bound over a five bar gate into the waters of the Callen; into which man and horse were seen to de scend, and dash through the foamy surface like river gods and tritons.—Mr. Wit. It44DONNELL I the victor, rode the celebrated bay horse Dick, belonging to LAUNCELLOT Hal., Esq. At craising the five-bar gate, Mr. M4CAFFRAT'S horse struck the timber with his feet, and rolled with his rider into the river Callen. His descent through the water resembled the gambols of a porpoise sporting in the waves, with a young one on his back. Ano ther competitor for equestrian fame was precipitated into the water and dismounted. The horse, in his struggles, had got his legs entangled about his ma ster's neck, who was in much danger of undergoing suffocation by his Hounkrlsm embrace. Fortunately the spectators arrived in time to rescue him. After the sports of the day, the Members of the Armagh Hunt, &c. dined together. Thirty-nine bumper toasts were drank in the course of the enter tainment. The Duke of GRAFTOn'S horse Antonio is matched against Major WaTson's Pericles, at the next New market Craven Meeting, for 100 guineas ; as is Lord SUFFILLEis Selim against Major Vinson's Walton. Several matches have already been made for the Craven Meetings of 1815, among which are the fol- Lowing : Sir 3. SaELLIT'S 1. by Sorcerer or Waxy, 81t. 711'. apt Mr. LA MBTO WS f.by Walton, Bet. 41b. Ab. M. 2008.—Mr. IL.Aces ch. c. by Granicus, sgst Sir J. bamires b. t. by Walton, sn. 51b. tab. T. Y. G. 400 p. b. fr. A few days since, a grey mare belonging to Mr. FoKass, of Culloden, in Scotland, while crossing the ferry of Kessock, leaped out of the boat on its get ting to the opposite side, and having directed her course about a mile and a half eastward, she plunged into the sea at the mill of Kilmuir, swam across the Frith, and came ashore below Culloden, being a dis tance of about three miles, without sustaining the smallest injury. The mare is 18 years old. Had Rainer won his celebrated match of 100 miles, in 18 hours, he should have been no longer called Rainer, but. Rein-deer ! Bank-notes to the amount of 10s. each, so long talked of, it is said, are to be issued for circulation very speedily. Private letters from Paris represent that the distress amongst the merchants was not exceeded even in the year 1799. Merchants of the first credit and conse quence had stopped payment; and, notwithstanding so mach had been said of the great quantity of gold is France, the Bank at Paris would pay no drafts upon it in Napoleons. Silver was to be obtained in payment, but the coin was se small in value, that it required some hours to count as much as would dis charge a bill of £lOOO. The merchants had with drawn all confidence from each other, and in CORM+ quence of the expecsed loan of twenty-five millions sterling, not a man would confess to have a Napoleon more than was necessary for his immediate use. - . All the private letters received from the British Mi nisters resident at the head-quarters of the allied Sove reigns, concur in representing the Emperor ALexam- DEK as the very soul of the Confederacy. To him they ascribe the merit of having fixed the wavering irresolu tion of the Emperor Fitallos, and of having prevailed on him unalterably to deviate in favourof the Common Cause. As soon as the damages and losses were re paired which the allied army had sustained in the un fortunate attack upon Dresden, councils of war were frequently held to deliberate on the propriety of again, advancing and hazarding a second attempt. It was generally decided in the negative : the chief reason assigned for the decision being the numerical inferio rity of the allied force to that of the enemy. It was on one of these occasions that the Emperor ALEXAN DER observed, that if there was no other objection it should be quickly removed, and he instantly wrote out the order for BENNIGSEN to advance. Ministers, no doubt, are highly sensible of this alacrity on the part of his Imperial Majesty, and they endeavour to make the best, the only return in their power for it. Of the 5e900,000 that was to be advanced to Russia, within a stipulated time, the last payment was made on Friday last, in a Bill of Exchange for £150,000.

We are sorry to relate the loss of a valuable ship on the Ballywalter shore, during the storm of Wednesday last. The vessel, we find, is the Czsar, of Greenock, hound for Cork to join convoy. Three of the crew perished, but the rest have been fortunately got on shore. A galliot, we also learn, has been totally lost near the same place. The following letters contain the particulars up to a late hour yesterday : 44 Ballywalter, seven miles south of Dousghadee, • six o'clock, Thursday evening. gi On Thursday, the 21st of October, early in the morning, during a severe storm from E. by. S. a large ship, dismasted, struck upon Sal Martin Rock, about three sea miles E. by S. of Ballywalter. A small boat, with oars, and without a crew, came on shore about three o'clock A. M. when ROBERT ADALR, J. Born, D. ALESANDU, W. NIBLoCK, and J. ERMINE, put to sea in the said small boat, actuated by the laudable motive of rendering their assistance in preservation of the skip's crew ; when, melancholy to relate, the boat upset during a heavy swell, and shey all perished within a few yards of the beach.— These unfortunate sufferers were inhabitants of the village of Ballywalter, and of good character. About five o'clock this evening, another boat, manned by the exertions of ROBERT MILLER and others, attemp ted to reach the ship, but owing to the tempestuous weather and /heavy sea, could not accomplish it, and was obliged to put back to the shore • therefore, up to the date of this account, no particulars whatever, as to the name, cargo, or destination of the ship, have as yet been ascertained. 4 , A vessel (supposed to have been a sloop), name and other circumstances as yet not correctly known, has been totally wrecked, and the crew perished, off Ballyhalbert; early this morning. JOHN G. DUNBAR, Esq. GEORGE MArritEws, jun. Esq. and other gen tlemen of the neighbourhood, have been on the alert all day on the coast to render their assistance, and to prevent plunder, hitherto frequently too notorious on this shore. A. MACKNIANN, Esq. coast-surveyor, Mr. MULHOLLAN, coast-officer, with a party of revenue boatmen, have a strong guard of Donaghalee and Grey Abbey yeomanry, at Ballywalter ; and Messrs. MILLER and Lemma, coast officers at Ballyhalbert, have Lient.MacN ent,and a detachment of the Louth militia, to assist in protecting whatever property may come on share from the rapacity of plunderers." " Ballywalter, October U. " I take the opportunity of informing you, that the ship lost on Sal. Martin, near this place, is called the Cesar, of Greenock, Captain M'LARTY, on her voyage from that port to join convoy at Cork, with a valuable cargo, principally soft goods. Three of her crew drifted from the ship in the long boat, and were drowned ;—the remainder were got on shore about five a. m. this day." ARRIVED.

Last night there was another opportunity for the display of the promising talents of Mr. Coswav and Ors. M.Gineox, in the characters of Anfer and Bel videre, in the play of Veniie Preserved. It is gratifying in the extreme to give applause where it has been earned by exertions of no common order ; and of such a character do we deem the efforts of the j,thfer and Belvidere of lust night. The affectionate and lofty souled Jailer was most powerfully' ppurtrayed by Mr. C. Many portions of his performance might besse lected as successful above the rest, particularly Joker': account of the old Friuli's abortive attempts on the honour 'of Belvidere, who was given as the hostage of her husband's truth, as well as his narrating the treat ment which he received from Pierre after the plot had been discovered, concluding with the ejaculation which seemed to agonise his soul— " By Heaven, l be stria me:" The threats of the Senate to torture were also received with the firmness of a man whose injuries had wr:aight in him any thing but the fear of pains and death : of one whom while he cared not to live, yet would rather die than have it thought of him that secrets, which they who threatened, trembled to know, had been wrung from him by placing the rack before his mind's eye. —Of Mrs. *GIBBON'S Bgividera we must speak most favourably. The conflict between filial and conjugal affection—the anxious daughter, and the desponding yet still hoping wife—were finely pourtrayed ; and the skilful delineations in the earlier teems were even I surpassed by the concluding one—her delirium and i t death. These performers were both enthusiastically received, by a fashionably crowded house. Not to speak of Mr. Yot:vo's Pierre must not be deemed neglect of that Gentleman's great taleuts, as his personification of that part is well known. The haughty-souled Pierre—the " bold-faced villain," whom we must admire for his greatness, though he was a traitor, and seemed to have no good motive for what he did—has seldom found a better supporter than Mr. YOUNG: He so performs it as to leave us nothing more to with for. The play, on the whole, went off well, and the new after-piece of The Miller end his Mea detained and delighted to the last, as full and fashionable an au dience as we have seen assembled during the present most successful season at this Theatre. Henry the Fifth, or the Conqueit of Framer, is getting up in fine style at Covent-Garden. The Covent-Garden Manager is bestowing much attention upon the interesting play of Anthony and Cko patra, which is shortly to be revived at this Theatre. The new Comedy at Drury-lane Theatre is to be immediately succeeded by a Melo-Drame of unprece• dented splendour, which has been in preparation since the last season. A young Gentleman of Ireland observed, that he was possessed of but one dog, a great favourite ; and *lamented that be was left in the country. A friend of his inquired is what sort of dog ?" “ He answered he was a Newfouridtand dog ;" Was l" repeated his friend. , g Oh 1 indeed he u (replied the young Hibernian), but he is dead, and I've got another." A Country Paper notices the sudden death of a strolling player, after drinking twenty-six slams of gin a punster observed, that such *a exit was most dram-atic. BONAPARTE, like a rash conjuror, has raised around him a circle of infuriated spirit:. Here his power seems to have terminated, for his efforts to lay then appear perfectly futile. The aptitude of . the names of certain Heroes for their high callings is 'singular. The Champion of the English Jerry Sneak was Major Sturgeon, of face. tious memory ; the Aides-de-Camp of Jerry Sneak of Germany, alias JEROME King of Westphalia, are named Flee, TROTT, and WAGGONER. They remind us of BardoYsh, Pistol, and Pao. Pmea OF sTOCICS THIS DAY AT TWBLVE O'CLOCK. Itedtteed SF s. 67}4—for arc. 5a 58 4 per Ct. 71i 1-5 per Ct. 134 f —Cain. Off tk. Lg.
