Dres. den was said to have been captured by the Allies on the 16th, and DAvousr was said to have retUrned to Hamburgh, after experiencing a dreadful loss in the direction of Schwerin. The authority given for these Tumours was said to be an Altona Paper of the 21st, but no such paper bas reached town, and there is no arrival to-day to enable us to refute or • confirm the statement; it therefore still rests upon mere pro babilities, hut these are not yet reduced by an/ oc currences which hare since come to our knowledge. ...Mier the 14th or 16th we apprehend that BONA. PAILTeS occupation bf Dresden would be at the hazard of his total ruin, for by that day the Allies must have been able to draw a formidable costioa of troops in his line of retreat towards Leipaic. With these he will probably hazard a battle, for we know his sanguinary diipasitlon too well to suppose that he would quietly abandon Satan, tri the Allies. We have received litany letters from Naval men, approving of the hbut we livew out some time ago, for putting the Nay* or Great Britain upon a proper looting respecting the dais known by the name of Frigates, by building in future for that class ships Sot merely equal in sire to those natrligated by ilia Americans, but superior both in mantling and weight taf metal. We mean not tr.) occupy at present the tank or our Readers by a repetition of these remarks, bet to point out *pother improvement, of which the public service it sUseePtible, and of which we might instantly reap the benefits. The delays that are occasioned on sudden toter. i rucks by a want of transport tonnage have long been regretted, but without a proper remedy being suggested. An obvious remedy, connected with the changes which we have suggested respecting the classes of our • marine, presents itself trate the proposed alteration. The 50 gun ships have been proved too small to occupy the rank formerly assigned them—and the want of a speedy supply of ttansports often retards the public service. Why not employ all the .50 gun ships as troop-ships.? They would only require the main and quarterdeck guns (as the Lamar is. already fitted) and would carry to a short distance/ as the Peninsula, at least, 1000 men, with all their baggage. All the small frigates, for instance the 12-pound ships, and large ship sloops, should be in stantly empltryed—the former would require no main *deck guns, nor would the latter.

Considerable curiosity was excited in the theatrical world, to see this distinguished representative of the" fat Knight. The first part of Henry the Fourth was the Play. Mr. KINIBLIC, on coming forward as Sir John Fahili; was greeted with loud and universal shoats of ap plause. Whether he had no stuffing other than that, which belongs to him in his own character, we can not take upon ourselves to say. It Iris generally understood that he bad not, and she whimsical old Knight was nothing deficient in size. Mr. KaSIBLN looked the character extremely well, and his per formance throughout was very effective. In the scene in which be recounts his exploits•at Gadshill, his speeches were admirably delivered. When one of - his companions on the truth being called for by the Primer, begins by stating 4. We four were set on by same dozen," the manner in which he corrected him, Sixteen at least," was finely characteristic. ELLISTON, in liottpor, was uncommonly anima ted, and gave some of the most interesting speeches with great feeling and effect. Mrs. BRIRETON played Lady Terry with applause. !At other characters were well sustained. • 0. • r u ,, 1, 4 ASSIZE' 0, BREAD.—The Master and Warded of doe Bakers, with the Committee of Bakers of the Com pany, attended the Loan MAYOR this morning with taw Solicitor.

Several vessels were driven from their moorings. A brig and a sloop drifted over the bar, and stranded, one on the north and the other on the south side.

The Emperor ALEXANDER, with that magnanimity which belongs to him, assembled - these gallant be. frayed, and injured soldiers, and having clothed and equipped them, gave them over to the Representative ot_the Spanish Regency at his Court, We have al ready given a description of the grand and interesting public festival at St. Petersburgh on carrying this re. stitution into effect in its first stage.

Two hundred and fifty prisoners have been re. ceived into Fortchester Castle last week, from the Assistance and Prothee prison ships. Several O. cers have been sent on parole to Alresford.

Nor is the improvement* of the condition draw naval heroes, which would result from :ugh i s syltetn, a =suer of trivial import. • True it is, that 'the eircumstanites of Europe - have withiS these few years undergone a change which has given a new, and, we aiay idd; a glorious • . .ff l aster to Our army ; bat o• tb equally true, that WO owe the foundation or «sr present military fame to the triumphs of our Naval heroes—heroes, who have fobght so gloriously, that they have left no enemy 'against whom they can chew their prowess., (for on such a subject America is not to be imam& the cause of her partial success is knovin, and will soon be counteracted). 4 Any plan tending to reward the merits of brave ales ' who so cordially co-operate with our military on every occasion where their . services can be called into action, deserves more than a common share of attention: Their present setvices, in blockading the ports at out enemies, though in the nature of things accompa nied with loss of that glare which carries by storm, as it were, the exultations and praises of a great people, are extremely arduous, and highly beneficial to the country ; but comparatively injurious to the interests of our naval heroes, if honours, and emolu ments, and comforts are only to be given after vic tories. Alas for them, they have no enemies to face them ! they have destroyed them ! but let not the na tion, therefore, neglect them. In fact, the da•nger of their being neglected, merely from the circumsiance of their having already anni hilated our maritime enemies, is very great, and may ultimately be' productive of much evil. There is not a British bosom that could harbour the thought of wilful neglect ; and we are confident if ever it shall be experienced by our Naval Defenders, it will arise only from the circumstances to which we have alluded. In the absence of other means to find employment for our Naval Officers, the plan we' have suggested! would be highly useful ; economy would also result from it, and the public service would be benefited in a very high degree.
