COTTON is to command. Sir SIDNEY SMITH'S squadron was off the Tagus on 1 1 the 12th ult. We rejoice to hear that the small craft in all the I royal ports arc getting ready for service with all pos sible dispatch. Nothing is more wanted. The'Venerable, Captain Lavrres, is arrived at Li verpol from Barbadoes, which place she left on the 27th of November. —By her we learn that the Eliza beth, FLINN, from Africa for the West Indies ; the Juno, from Demerara for LiverpOul, and the Elliott, —, from ditto for London, are captured, and carried into Guadaloupe. The Elizabeth, Towssuesu, from Newfoundland, is totally lost on the coast of Ireland. The Ulysses, ---, from Wiscassetts for Liverpool, is lost at Newport (Mayo). The Jolly Tar, —, from Monte Video, is put into Fayal, with damage. A melancholy accident happened on New Year's Day, ti the Church of Painswick, Gloucestershire. As the bell-ringers were ringing in the new year, one of the bells broke from its station, and forcing its way through three floors, fell amongst the ringers. One man was killed on the spot, and sereral cabs= were dreadfully bruised and wounded. On the 26. h ult. two persons of respectability, b:- longing to Port Glasgow, went on board a ship . called: the Crow Isle, then lying at Greenock, from Tortotal; to see some friends,, and in the evening homewards, but have not since been beard•of.

The2otltDragoons,97th,2Bth,Slst, and all the strong regimentas were left in Sicily by Sir JOHN Mowry. General Smerrattootts - iias a force of 9000 men under him : many. Officers, and some men, are now going out.to join by the fleet * about to sail for the Mediterranean. General BOWYER is immediately codling horaeil which leaves vacant the valuable appointment of Commander in Chief hi the West Indies. .. Report has mentioned Sir GRORGI Par.vosr as a candidate for the appointment; perhaps there is no other foun dation for it, than the worthy General's having lately come to town. The appointment of Commander in• Chief at Bom bay is now vacant, and it is said that at Madras speedily will be so, Sir JonN CRADDOCK being ex-, pected home. Sir EYRE CGOTY is to remain in the chief command at Jamaica, until Lieutenant General VlLLEtras goes out. The Duke of MANCHESTER, the Governor, goes out immediately, but General VILLETTES remain till next fleet. We are sorry to learn that the troops which have just come from Egypt with General FaAsza, have imported a large stock of that dreadful disease, the Ophthalmia, with them. The King's regiment, the Bth, commanded by. Col. HOUGHTON, has marched to Steyning, in Sussex. Commodore GRAHAM MCKME, who commands the British squadron which escorts the PRINCE RZOENT of Portugal to the Brazils, is brother to Sir JOHN MOORE, and not less distinguished in the Navy than the gallant General is in the Army. We regret to hear that the General's health suffered by his atten tion (which was unwearied) to his army in Sicily.- • The remains of that invaluable officer, Colonel VASSAL, of the 38th, have been brought home by his regiment, who to a man adored him. A report has of late been afloat in military circles, that a very large expedition will ere long be fitted out, the destination South America, to be commanded by Sir Joint Moonn, with some of our ablest Gene rals ; that Government has determined that the stain on the British arms shall be wiped off in that quarter. It is thought that now the conquest of Spanish America will be both an easy and more valuable acquisition from its neighbourhood to the Brazils. BLOC; Musco PARK—We have much pleasure irf be t t o nl enabled to state, upon'what we believe to be g authority, that the enterprising Mr. MONGO PARK, whom we have long ceased to speak of but as an in habitant of that country “ from whose bourne no tra veller returns," is still alive, although the only sur vivor of his party, and has gone from Africa for the West Indies. . . ANGELICA KAUFMAN.—This celebrated artist died at Rome the 7th of November, in the 67th year of her age. The illness which preceded her dissolution was long and painful, but sustained with pious forti tude, and exemplary resignation. In Rome, where the love of the arts is the sole sentiment that has sur vived the shipwreck of its glory, the death of this distinguished person caused an universal sensation. — People of all ranks were emulous to testify their re spect for her memory. Her funeral, obsequies were performed with decorous pomp, and more than usual solemnity. Many of the Nobility, above 100 Eccle siastics, in the habits of their several orders, and the Members of all the Literary Societies at Rome, walked in the procession. The pall was supported by young Ladies, dressed in white; and immediately after the .corpse, some of Agoauco's best pictures were dis pl d, borne upon the shoulders of the mourners. TTEATRE, DRURY-Long.—The Comedy of the Wonder was repeated' at this Theatre on Saturday evening. The Donna Violante of Mrs. JORDAN, and the Don Felix of Mr. ELLISTON, were both master-pieces of chaste and animated action. The admirers of Ic 4 gitimate comedy were here delighted with an exqui site treat ; the archness, and vivacity of the Heroine, and the sudden bursts of love, jealousy, and rage, predominant in the Hero, were admirably pour ,trayesl by Mrs. JORDAN and Mr. ELLISTON.—Mr. HOLLAND'S Colonel Briton, and Miss MgcLog's Donna halsella, were respectable.—The new Pantomime fol lowed, and was well received. THEATRE,COVENT.GARDEN.—SIIakeSpeaT'S Consul, of Errors was revived on Saturday night at this ) Theatre. --POPE and C. KEMBLE were most ieveLt , able in ifillipholit of Syracuse, and Antotaiofis of Ephe sus ; andMingurg and BLANCHARD, in the two Dronsior, were irresistibly comic.—ln other respects the play, which is founded upon a story of extreme improba bility, and not much diversified with character, did not appear to make a very favourable impression upon a considerable part of the audience.—The Critics in the upper regions of the Theatre, were of opinion that it was low !—They *ere, however, mightily pleased with the snore sublime composition of the Pantomime which followed. Yesterday being Plow Sunday, the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR went in state, accompanied by seve ral Aldermen, the Sheriffs, Recorder, itzc. attended by the City Officers, from ,the Mansion Nouse, to Ste.
