The last dispatches from Lord CASTLEREAOR are supposed to have occasioned the order for keeping np the militia and 2d battalions. Monday the late 2d battalion of the 22d or Chu shire regiment marched from Chester for the coast, for embarkation for America. The order for their departure was not reciived till the previous Saturday. The garrison duty at Chester has been taken by a di. vision of the Berkshire Militia, which had reached Newcastle, on their way home to be disembodied, brit were suddenly ordered to the right about by a rout for Liver pool. Wednesday, the 2d battalion of the 21st regiment, or Scots Fusileers, landed at Leith from England, and marched into the Castle. It is not long since they arrived in England from the Low Countries, and are about 250 strong. The Chfordshire reginserre of Militia arrived at Portsmouth on the 2d and 3d inst. in two divisions. The Royal Cumberland Militia, which lately landed at Liverpool from Ireland, and were to have been disemboc at Carlisle, have received a route to march imo Scotland, and are expected there during the course of this week. The Cambridge Militia, on their way from Ireland to their native county, where they expected being dis embodied, have received counter orders : one division marched from Derby into Nottingham, on Sunday the 2Scl ult. where it still remains; and the other di, vision was marched back from Loughborough to Derby on Thursday. The South Lincoln too, that were passing through Derbyshire, on their way to Stamford, in expectation of being disembodied imme diately, have suddenly had their route changed ; and are crdered for Chatham. WINDSOR, Nov. 6.—Yesterday being the first Sa turday in the month, the QUEEN held a Council at the Castle, to inquire into the state of the KING, agreeable to the directions of the Regency Act. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, Lord ARDEN, and other Members of her Majesty's Council, arrived at the tipper Lodge about half-past eleven oiclock, where they received a Report from the Physicians in atten dance on his Mal-sty, after which they proceeded at twelve o'clock to the Castle, and held a Council with the QUEEN on the same, which sat but a short time. After the breaking up of the Council, Sir HeNat 7rIALroaD left Windsor for London. The Royal Family attended Divine Sesvice this morning in the Castle. Yesterday the following Monthly Report of the state of the KING'S health yr.'s exhibited at St. James's: " Windsor Castle, November 5. " His MAX/ISTY has continued for the last month in an uniform state of tranquillity, but without any dimiantion of his disorder. (-Signed) " H. lIALFORD. " M. BAILLIE. W. HEBER))PN. R. WILLIS." Lord SOLLERVIL LE and the Honourable ROBERT Gangue, were the Lord and Groom of the King's Bed-chamber in waiting at Saint James's Palace yesterday. Tux DUKE OF SUSSEX.--Mnst of the accounts which have appeared respecting the Duke of SUSSEX'S late attack, were extremely exaggerated ; we are concerned to say his Roy:il Highness is subject to two or three attacks in the c.,un,e of the year, at the change of the seasons. It has stated that his Royal Highness was so bad, that he could not lay down ; the fact is, he never lies down, nor has been able to do so for some years past ; during which time, when in bed, he is only in a reclining position, and is prop ped up with bolsters and pillows. Tile diamond so:itaire lost at the late gala at Vienna, was the property of Prince WENEZ EL LICH TENTEIN, and is worth 22,000 gold ducats. It was picked up and returned to the owner by a fignrante of the opera, who received a reward of 5000 florins Miss WRLSTEJN, of the Dublin Theatre, who is shortly expected. on the boards of Drury-lane, will perform both in Tragedy and Comedy. Her first characters, it is said, Will be Cada, in the Fair Peel ten!, and Letitia Hardy, in the comedy of the Belk: Stratagem. Saturday afternoon, the Swiftsure, 74, Captain WEBLEY ; A:rities, Captain C. M. BIAGI; ; Drake, Captain G. GRANT; Redwing, Captain YOUNG; and Buffalo store-stip, sailed from Portsmouth, for the West Indies, with thirty-two merchantmen under convoy. The Buffalo has naval stores on board fcr the Dock-yards at Antigua and Port Royal. The fleet, which sailed under the convoy of the .A LFHEA, for South America, arrived, all well, at Madeira, on the 20th of September. On the 10th ulr. the fleet, under convoy of the 1. LTA N., of 74 guns, was npelled, by a severe oale, to put into Beerhaven, when the Bating tran sport, having on board 18 Officers and 400 men, struck on the rocks at Beer Island. Before assistance could be procured, many of the men jumped over board, and several were unfortunately drowned ; 18 or '2O were missing. Messrs. HENRY Mon and Co. at whose premises the late melancholy accident happened, have peti tioned the Lords of the Treasury to be allowed the Excise duty on the quantity lost, which amounts to upwards of £7,000. They state that the vat which burst, contained at the time 7,660 barrels of ripe beer, ten months old, which was entirely lost, and was pro dective of considerable mischief, not only to the pre mises, but also to a smaller vat which held upwards of 900 barrels. Their total loss they estimate at at 28,000 at the lowest calculation. r NiiPAL tAttiLLICEAtCP. a—._ FALMOUTH, NOVEMBER 4. No arrivals yesterday nor to-day of conseqttenze.

In the musical department, the talents of Mr. BELLAMY, Mrs. DINCONS, Mrs. BLAND, Ntr. PHIL LIPS, Mr. NNE, Mr. Salem, and indeed. of the whole lyric power of the hoeve, are combined ; and, under the care of Mr. KELLY, the chnrusses were executed with an harmony, spirit, and effect, that we never befrre witnessed. The overture and musical inter jections are also very honourable to Mr. Hogan, the composer. The contrivance by which the ielusion of the flight of Hecate, the appearance of the mary coloured spirits in the air, and the rising of the nal powers to deliver their mysterious oracles to Mac kilt, is truly ingenious, and strikes the spectator by its magnificence, as much as by its novelty. It seetus to realize the fiction of the Poet : the infernal btit:gs prove themselves to be spiritual, by rising up thri..ugh the cauldron, surrounded by flame, without being singed by it ; and Hecate rises on the clouds which obey her mandate. What would have been the effect on the bewil Jered eyes of the contemporaries of SHAKESPEARE, if his imaginations had been thusembodied and represented? At a time when the doctrine of witchcraft was not merely established by common belief, but enforced by law—and when it was criminal to disbelieve in it— ' such an exhibition as was seen on Saturday night, would have made an impression never to be effaced. But here let us observe, that when the witches and cauldron disappeared, the furnace ought to disappear also. This, we suppose, was a mere oversight ; for in fact the manner in which this play has been gut up proves that at no former time was the conduct and display of theatrical representations in any degre: equal to those we have now the pleasure to enjoy. But all that the painter, the musician, the machi nist, and the habit-maker have done, would be tri fling as to intellectual enjoyment (for all this might have been employed on a ballet or a panto mime), if they had not been brought to illustrate the grandest acting play of the immortal Bard. Here, however grand, they are all secondary. It is the play itself that rouses the attention, engages the pas sions, informs the mind and meliorates the heart of every auditor. As it was acted on Saturday it pos sesses an influence which no sermon, no lecture on morality, no example, even of legal punishment, could impress on the multitude—tor of all the in structive exhibitions ever given to an audience, the acting of Mr. KEAN on coming forth from the cham ber, after the assassination "of the King, is the most impressive lesson to humanity we ever saw. The convulsions of his frame, the agony of his feelings, as his conscience brought to his mind the images of the horrors he had left within—the glare of his eye, the chocked utterance of " God bless us," and " Amen," were altogether such an animated and striking delineation of the soul of a murderer, as no actor ever so truly and so emphatically presented to our senses. It exceeds every former effort of las ai t, and yet it was seemingly done without effort. it was not by strained and struggling gestures—not by hur ried changes of attitude—not by boisterous or vehe ment expression that he conveyed the terrible emotion by which he wits agitated, to the heart of the spec tators ; but he shewed it in every lineament-and mus cle of the body. He was the soul-stricken, self-cou victed murderer, that he represented ; and he (the war.ier -;ho would have sacrificed thousands of his unoffending fellow-creatures in the field without a pang) stood here the penetrated victim of the re morse that must torture the bosom of an assassin. It was in our eyes the perfection rf the histrionic art.— In the less important scenes of the play he shewed the same powers of just conception, and though his voice sometimes failed in doing justice to his ideas, his judgment in the manner never erred. In the Soli loquy, where he follows with his eye the dagger that marshalled him the way he was to go, he was quick and pointed in the transition between the loss and the re-appearance of it. The dagger, by the tine imagination of the poet's augury, is made to pass into the chamber where Duncan sleeps. In that inter val the vision is lest to Macteth, and then he says, " Mine eyes are made the fools o'the other senses, " Or else worth all the rest--" But it re-dppears, and " He sees it still, " And on its blade and dudgeon gouts of blood " Which were not so before-" This transition he marks with that discriminating tact so peculiarly his own ; but to make the vision more edifying, the whole ought to be directed to the very chamber which he afterwards enters to perpetrate the crime. Throughout the whole part, he displayed the most perfect intimacy with the character, and the justest idea of personifying it. We have no hesita tion in saying, that though his Richard may, by the continuance of the passion, be regarded as a whole, more uniform than his Macbeth, yet there is nothing, in any play, equal to some of the pictures of passion that he exhibited on Saturday night. The other parts of the play were also more uni formly good than we are accustomed to see at either Theatre. Of Mrs. BAIaLEY'S Lady Macbeth we for bear to speak critically. The shadow of the great ori. ginal, reminds us feelingly of the loss we have sus tained. She is great only where the imitation ap proaches to the model. Mr. POPE'S Banymo was ex cellent, and Mr. RAE in Macdufwas more than usually impressive. It seldom happens that the minor parts of such a drama are ably sustained—and the French critics constantly assert that we have not what they tail the ensemble of a play on our boards. Now in this Tragedy some of the finest speeches of the poet are given to short characters✓-yet the wounded sol dier—Malcolm, Roue, &c. all delivered their pathetic descriptions with the force of truth. And nothing could surpass in harmony the manner in which Mr. BELLAMY, Mrs. Drawn, Mrs. &Aso, &c. gave the principal vocal parts of the Chot us. The three Witcher also by Mr. DOWTON, Mr. Lovzortove, and Mr. KII/GIIT, were finely represented by not being made ludicrous. The mischief of their dark intent was not fritred away by mummery. Upon the whole, the per. formance was received with such enthusiasm of appro bation, that it was instantly, on the dropping tot the curtain, announced (or Tuesday, Thursday, and Sa turday, to the satisfaction of the crowdedaudience. At Covent• Garden Theatre, Mr. Kotula sustained the character of Brstus, iu Jain Cesar—his per formance was, as usual, most deservedly applauded. LAW INITILICIATE. CC CRT OF CHANCERY, NOV.

Such a resistance would have the most mischievous effects. In point of tact, with re• spect to the pleas in the present clernurrcr, the whose of them were bad. COURT OF KINO'3 BENCH. NOV. & I TASTY? O. totactata The ATTORNEY-GE AtltAi. stated, that this was an action brought by Messrs. De Tastet,'La Costa, and 13urgue, merc!:ants in London, against the defendant John Garcias, as itra%%er of two bills of exchange, the one for £BOO and t e other for £7OO, • at osance and a half. or tines,. months. They were drawn upon Josef Perez Qainte:'o, Treasurer Gen , ral and Direc tor of die National Negociations at Caatz. At Alk time the bills were drawn Mr. Garcia' washtAhnt in this country, as Agent for the Spanish Govern ment, and as he had occasion to purchase stores to a considerable airourt, he drew bills in payment upon those who represented the finances of the*kingdom ref Spain. The plaintiffs having occasion to remit mo. ney to Spain, went to the Exchange, and through the medium of their broker purchased of the &len. dant for £l5OO the bills in question. Toey transmit ted the bills to Cadiz, but previous to their becoming due the seat of Government had been trai!sierreil from Cadir. to Madrid. The bills were preseno-d foe payment i:t Madrid, and returned dibhonoored ; the consequence of which was, that the defendant became liable to pay the re-exchange, to reimburse the amount of the bills to the parties who had bought them, together with all costs, charges, and espenceb. The plaintiffs accordingly sent their clef k to the de. fendant, requiring to be repaid the amount of the bills with the charges. The defendant examined the documents. ort,le observations upon them, and finally gave a check on his banker for the full amount. The plaintiffs presented the check, when, to their astonish ment, they were informed tLe defendant had directed that it should 'nilt be paid. • What pretence there could be for such conduct, the Learned Counsel it Was difficult to ciao:Ave „• nothing had occurred to • relieve the defendant from his l'ability, and he there fore tru , ted the Jury would consider the plaintiffs entitled to the principal. re-exchange, costs, and in terest, Irani the time when the money ought to have been paid. Theo: loos were cicirly proved by Mr. Dawes, the plaint.irs' clerk, La; it appearell on his cross era. minatioa that, upon the dishonour of the bills in Spain, duplicates of the protest had been transmitted to this countr y. pmt,....st that was not accornpn :..ied by the bills h;.piretted t.r arrive first. The plain. tiffs therefore thought it unnecc.sary to demand their money I'll the bills we re received, knowing that the defendant would not pay withou: having the bills delivered up. • They accordingly waited the arrival of the bills. Mr. l'autu: contended, thy ran this statement the liatiility of the defendant was ,i'szharged. It was the duty of the plaintiffs, immediately upon their re ceiving the first duplicate of the protest, to have given notice to the deimdant of the dishonour of the bills. Having omitted to give such notice, they had made the bilis their own, and the defendant, though he had given a check for the money, was well enti tled to stop the payment of it. Lord ELLEND1801:011 was decidedly of opinion, that upon the air:val of the first set of documents, without the bills, no notice to the defendant was ne cessary. The Plaintiffs, though in possession of his Lord ship's judgment in their favour, liberally offered to give up their claim to the re-exchange, and even to pay their own costs of suit, upon receiving their prin. cipal and interest. This proposition wis readily assented to, and the Jury returned a verdict for the Plaintiffs—Damages £1575.
