THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. • 6 6 Mut, is respectfully informed, that the object of his bumatie consideration is amply provided for, and that it must be coil. sidered as indelicacy to bring the subject which he proposed before the Public at present. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1813. MICUAILMA pbar.—Holiclay at the Stock Exchange. Paris Papers to the 26th have now arrived. 80. X APARTE still kept his positions in and around Dres. den on the 17th ; but he is constrained to adopt a most cautious policy. The Allies from Bohemia keep him in full employment they debouch almost daily from the Passes, in considerable force, and re. treat again with so much 46 activity," that they leave but few prisoners behind them. In the mean time, Dresden is so hemmed round, that the movements of the French corps can only describe a circle of SO miles ar ound it. By the French accounts, the approaches to Dresden from the Southward are most strongly guarded. Count Loneu, with the first corps, it in front of Peterswaltlei the Duke of Tattriso (Marshal MORTIZR) occupies Pima i the Duke of BZLLUNO is at Altenberg ; and Sr. Crn watches the Fursten. walsie-And Geyersberg Passes. All these dispositions can be easily accounted for : the Tyrant is aware that the Allies %ill hazard every thing to cut off his re. Crest towards Leipsic, and be has no objection what-- Wier to cut his way through them; but they are not inclined to give him an opportunity ti boasting of isesh victories ; and it is possible that by perseverance in their system Dresden may become another Moscow. Oa the 14th, 15th, and 16th, there were partial engagements, with perhaps alternate success to the French and the ♦llies. They were of sufficient mag. nitude, however, to require BONAPARTE'S personal presence. He complains that " the enemy hesitates and dues not keep to any regular plan"—that is to say, they will not tell him precisely where and when to attack them. We rejoice at this indecision. If we recollect aright, the same complaint vias made against the Russians in their retreat from the Duna to Moscow. But this is not the only circumstance which annoys this merciful and tender-hearted enemy. Tutacstatn, a Saxon General, at the head of a corps of partisans and deserters, has marched upon Saal ; and an Austrian Colonel, with a body of troops simi larly composed, we trust, has occupied Colditz. These placesare directly in the line of any retreat which BONAPARTE may be forced to make upon his own frontiers, and we trust that they are now earnestly employed in spreading the names of Treason and Rebellion in his rear. A few of his Officers- 4, the sacred Corps" —among the rest, m 4. recollect what was effected by the pitchforks of the peasants on their retreat from the Deserts of Russia. All Saxony, Westphalia, Hanover, Franconia—ought to rise in arms against him. There is not, in short, an acre of ground from the Elbe to the Rhine, which has not been besmeared by the slime of this viper, and nothing but the blood of himself and his followers can wash it away I He is fully aware that something more than the usual implements of regular warfare are in motion against him. He has doubled the number of the armed men who surround his person, and these con stitute what he calls a 44 Guard of Honour," as is there was any thing like virtue and honour in pro tecting his execrable life from the vengeance of the myriads whom be has injured ! We always calculated, that the spirit of insurrec tion which hovered over the mountains of the Tyrol would burst forth . in support of the common cause at no distant period. The Bavarian General WRRDE has issued a Proclamation, in which be says, that the Patriots of 180 g are again in motion. We will not stain our columns with the epithet which this ill-bred ruffian bestows upon these brave and honourable men. It becomes such vagabonds as WREDR, himself the servile sycophant of a slave (for such is his master, the mock King of BAVARIA}—it becomes only a Calm of the French Empire to hold such language ! The old weapon of scurrility - and abuse is also di rected again.it the Austrian and Engl:sh Cabinets. Tice diplomatists, who are employed in rousing the energies of Germany against the enemy of all liberty end independence, are characterised as Usurers and Clerks, attached to the 46 Munster Chancellor ship." The latter expression, no doubt, alludes to Count hleenta, who has been many years a most worthy and respectable representative at the British Court, of the suffering inhabitants of Germany. The " Munster Chancellorship" will, we trusts continue in full activity, notwithstanding all the sneers of their • enemies. On the side of Lay the Austrians are cutting out work for BEAVHARNOIS. The French statements claim the victory of course. We doubt every word they say on the subject. Yesterday the two new Sheriffs, Alderman MAO.. NAY, and .1. C. MARSH. Esq. were sworn into office, at Guildhall. The State Carriages are very superb. Mr. Alderman MAGNAY'S liveries are white, scarlet, and gold ; and Mr. sheriff MARSH'S claret colour, scarlet, and gold. Yesterday being the first day of the Royal Hunt, a numerous field of sportsmen met on Tower-hill, near Swinly, where a fine deer was turned out for the day's diversion. It ran towards Salt-hill, crossed the Bath road, through the grounds at Bayles, towards Stock, where it was taken. ..~~ ADVANCE OF LORD WELLTNGTON , S ARMY INTO FRANCE. Just as this Paper was putting to Press, we tecei •ed Lisbon Papers to the Bth, and Coruna Papers to the 20th September. l'hey announce the evacua tion of Bat celona by the French, and that the Allies have entered France on the side of the Pyrennees.-- . The following are extracts s , G I.ISBON, " Our accounts from the army are most satisfac tory. Lord Wellington was in high health and spi rits. Our divisions were briskly occupied in fortifying the Peises of the Pyrennees, according to the judg ment of their respective Commanders. The French were- daily receiving reinforcements, and consist, it is said, of 80,000 men." 14 VALLADOLID, SEPT. 12. og Twenty-five thousand men have already entered six leagues into France. The plan is said to be to besiege Bayonne, and live upon the country. " Pamplona must very speedily surrender, as horseflesh, upoh which the besieged have lived for the last fifteen days, has nearly failed them." " CORUNNA, 44 The intelligence received from Catalonia is very flattering : it is said, the French have abandoned Barcelona. " Letters from Biscar state, that the Allied Army had put itself in motion; that the French had also begun to march towards San Juan de Luz; that ac- cording to accounts, each soldier had taken rations for four days, and that every thing announced an ap ptoaching battle. The greatest discontent prevails in France, and it is said that 25,000 of the Allied troops already tread that ground." Jamaica Papers to the Bth of August arrived in Town this morning. They contain the followiog : " JAMAICA, AUGUST I. 4. By the Spanish schooner Carmen, in four days from Santa Martlra, we learn, that on the 23d instant, twenty-two vessels, with troops on board, under Ca thagenian colours, appeared in Cienega, about four leagues from Santa Martha ; but up to the 25th they had not disembarked. The Spanish General Mon talvo, and the Royalists of Santa Martha, were anxiously waiting the moment of attack, premed to oppose them on all points. It is stated that the inha bits of Cirthagena had hoisted the French flag, and that the Government had sworn allegiance to Napo leon as their rightful sovereign. 44 By way of Maracaybo we are informed of the arrival at Laguira, of 2809 troops from Spain to quell the Insurgents, and that tranquility was re• stored. At that place and the provinces in the neigh bourhood of the same, it is said that the heads of the • Royalist Government in South America, have ex pressed themselves much dissatisfied at the encourage ment afforded in this Island to the Insurgents of Carthageua, and have threatened to exclude all trade, between the countries which have adhered to Spain and their colonies. “ Three American schooners appeared off Santa Martha on the 12th instant, and landed several armed men, and were shortly after attacked by the Indians. who put them to death.” " JAMAICA. AUGUST 7. " On the 31st of July a severe gale was expe rienced, which has done considerable damage in many parts cf the island. " Fourteen privateers are now at sea, which have been fitted out at Carthagena ; and a new privateer schooner, called the President, of eight guns, and a proportionate number of men, arrived there on the 20th ultimo, from New York, when the imniediately obtained an iadependant commission, and proceeded on a cruise.--The Asia man of war and Citce frigate sailed from Negrel the 26th July, with 28 sail, for England." Wixosen, SEPT. 28.—Yesterday mnrning her Kt inrir, accompanied by the Princesses EuzAarru and MARY, attended by Ladies Itcuzstsa, CRANLZY, and MARY POULETT, mok an airing in two open car riages to Dropmore-hill, the seat of Lord GRENVILLE. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURTZLANE.......The Way to Kelt Him was last night performed, with that true spirit and taste which, we are happy to say, distin guishes the Comedy of this House. In the characters of Sir Bashful Constant and of Loventort, Mr. BANNI STER and Mr. Ray were extremely successful. Mr. Wee Nut was not so successful in Sir Brilliant Fashion, and he was net even well dressed for the part. We never saw Mrs. ORGER more spirited or more elegant. In her scene with Lowman she displayed an archness and coquetry the most captivating. Mrs. GLOVER, and Miss MELLoN were also delightful. THEATRE ROYAL, COVENT.GARDEST.•••••The 'pro wise which Miss STEVENS gave on the first night of her appearance in Mandane was confirmed by her re presentation of the character again last night.— Having to a degree overcome the apprehension na tural to a candidate so young, her powers were de veloped with a more free spirit—and every real erne tetir and judge of the art were delighted with the me lody of her voice, the purity of her stile, and the power of her execution. She was encored in her three prin cipal songs, and she acquitted herself on the repeti- tion without the lapse of a single note, and without the slightest appearance of fatigue. She is in the theatrical phrase--a Star, and much was sbe wan ted to the hemisphere of Covent Garden. An apo logy was made for Mr. INcLEDON, and his part was performed by Mr. TAILOR with very commendable nation. IfdfrilL INTELLIGtNCE.

The alarm guns at the batteries are jun firing for an enemy. About two hours since a lugger priva teer, with her decks filled with men, was observed from hence, with the assistance of glasses' a mer chant brig is going down Channel, and there is no doubt but the Frenchmen mean to make an attempt to capture her, the wind being at N.E. is very fa vourable for their running into a French port. There is a lugger, I believe the Fotstaross, hove in sight, and, I trust, means to pursue the privateer. The Miners, BRENT from Cornwall to Aberavon, with copper ore, is lost, with all the crew. SACK irr's HARBOUR.—The following is an extract of a letter from an AmeriCan Gentleman, who re cently visited Sacker's Harbour, dated at Watertown, Gn Lake Erie :—" I spent Tuesday last at Sacker's Harbour: it is truly a very pleasant situation ; the harbour capacious and deep, into which ships of the line may pass with safety. The village consists of about 160 dwelling-houses.; the streets and shore are exceedingly filthy, but measures axe taking to cleanse the Augean stable.—l visited the cantonments of the army, and found that they were kept perfectly clean. Reports respecting sickness in the camp-have been greatly exaggerated : there have been cases of fever, but the complaints of those on the sick list are gene rally diarrhea; strangers are commonly thus afected by the water of the lime-stone country, the water be ing often impregnated with sulphur and lime.—l ac companied Commodore Chauncey on board the Ge neral Pike and Madison : they are both very fine ships. The General Pike carries 28 long 24-poun ders; she had hor sails bent, and was ready for sea."

The mode of regulating the Assize of Bread is likely to become a restion of serious discussion. For several weeks past it has appeared that the average price of wheat is considerably lower than that of flour; and on the principle, that the quantity of flour pro duced by a given quantity of wheat, together with the expence of mealing, are correctly attainable, the Loan MAYOR announced his intention of regulating the Assize of Bread by the average price of wheat instead of that of flour. The bakers, it seems, took the alarm on the occasion, and held a meeting at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on Monday night ;—the result of which was, a set of Resolutions is which they state that they cannot supply the public, shOuld - the Assize of Bread be regulated by the pries of wheat. A Committee of the Bakers' Compeer also waited upon the Loan Maros yesterday, and a great deal of discussion took place. It appears, how ever, that his Lordship did not enforce his intention of regulating the Assize by the price of wheat, WOO alteration has taken place in the Price -of Bread. —We shall saiisfy ourselves fiz the present with this simple statement of facts, though we entertain little doubt that the price of flour has been often enhanced by false returns, and by fraudulent collusion between the Mealman and the Baket. The frequent fines for false returns, which have been recently imposed by the Loan MAtroa, seem sufficiently to bear us out in the former of these assertions. Indeed, it is evident, that the very mode in which the Aqt of Parliament for fixin g . the assize is carried into effect, affords an opportunity of fraud to those who are regardless of 'the sanction of an oath ; and at will probably la found on enquiry, that the price of bread is lower in those parts of the country where no assize is fixed than in others where that operation takes pLeee. The Taunton paper of last week, which informs us that the quarter,' loaf was there only Is. where there is no assize, while a. Bristol it was assized at Is. 24J. fur nishes at least one instance in favour of this remark. At Norwich, also, we understand that the practice of fixing the assize has been discontinued, and we should be glad to leans what has been the result with regard to price ? The subject, we think, deserves the inves tigation of Parliament; and a Committee of the House of Commons might be employed to great ad vantage in examining the effects of the 'Ass:ze Laws. We adverted in a former paper to the laudable ex trtions exercised by our Chief Magistrate to reduce the prigs of Bread. 'This leads us to caution those Bakers who are near the Sea Coast against mixing .up this article of life with sea water, which we know is practised in some parts, in place of rah, by which the bikers produce a most unwholesome hard bread, and replenish their own pockets at the expence of the buyer! The Turkish pnnishment for fraudulent baker: is an hour's confinement in their own oven:. We do not wish to make the fraternity crusty by this sugges flop, but as their crime is a fraud upon the poor, they must excuse us, if we think their present puniihments far too slight. A curious seizure has been made on board an Ame rican East Indianian, captured - by one of' our cruisers. It is some correspondence from Sir Gotta OVESLEY g Sir JAMES GAMBIER. and Mr. STRATFORD CAESIIIO 6 to our Government; which correspondence was found in a printed state. How it could have crime into the hands of the Americans, we know not. They NO 1 sooner obtained possession of it, than they caused it to be printed. The following is the Letter from Sir GORE 06SELEY I TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD VISCOUNT CASTLIREACHI t HIS MAJNETT% PRINCIPAL SECRETARY Of STATE FOR TONSURE AS/AIRS. Na EI.—PRIVATE. is Oebroa, Nov, 22, 1812. gg MT LORDI consider k my duty to make your Lordship acquainted with the wishes, expectations, and intentions of his Royal Highness ABBAS META. respecting his eldest son MOHAMMED MIEEA, and to solicit your instroctions for my guidance in this deli. 1 cate affair. •• It' seems that his Royal Highness has determined (as far as depends upon himself) to send his eldest son to be educated in England, and that he is under the idea of his wishes having been made known to, and approved of, by the Government. However, on examining the archives here, I cannot find more than the copy of a letter from Sir HANFORD JONES to his Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs, annouucing the above intention ; and as far as I can learn, no 'answer has ever been given to it. di The PitiNce Royal. further wishes to send from 20 to 40 sons of Persian Noblemen and Chiefs with his son to England. and for a similar purpose. The expences of these boys will be defrayed by their fathers or the Shah, but those of his son, he seems to think will be paid by the English Government. 4 4 Having no instructions on this subject. either from his Majesty's Government, or the ikilish Gr.- vernment in India. I felt considerably embarrassed in the PRINCE ROYAL'S C ‘aversation on this subject, but endeavoured to make my replies as general as liOSi. ble, until I am honoured with his Royal Highness the nuns Regent's commands. 41 The PRINCE ROYAL% last intimation on this subject was a request that I would acquaint your ILordship, for the information of his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT ' that his son should proceed to England when he had attained his ninth year. I con ceive him to be at present about six years old., a With respect to the policy of the measure, it is generally conceived that having the eldest son of the acknowledged Heir Apparent of Persia in England, may ensure our paramount influmce at this Court for the ensuing seven or eight years, which is the utmost period that its vacillation could be injurious. On the other hand, as the Prince would expect to have an establishment for his son, and masters to attend him at his house, or wherever he may reside ; the expence to be incurred must also be a subject of consideration. 4g Praying your Lordship's early instructions on this very delicate point, I have the honour to be, with great respect and consideration, my Lord, your Lord ship's most obedient aad faithful humble servant.
