A 74, the Eliza- Captain Curzon, appeared off here about a week since, from wh i c h s hip a Mr. Purvis was put on shore with a letter from the capta in to the English Consul, and ether letters from the Gover ooze/atm] at Torceira , where she had previously stopped, to the Gem ent of this place. The Consul, whose letter I saw, was re to deliver those addressed to the Gosernor without delay, s T they re l a ted to the conduct to be observed by the people of thee w a gs towards the English, and their enemies, in conse ..nct of a requisition made by Sir Sidney Smith, from whose I; 2dr ,, o w 74 was dispatched. The Azores have always been co e r b l ed the granary, not only for Lisbon, but also for Madeira, „ och i e rter place is already occupied by 2000 British trelspe. A conr a tr ahlt fleet has been frequently seen off the Island since the vinbe d, r ee, from which there can be no doubttthat troops ere meat to be landed here and on Torceira and St. Ilachnere, &W it be fogad necessary. It is no secret that the English di rgt ve o t ing, as the French and Spaniards are obliged to quit t h e wand. The French and Spanish Consuls have given in their reresiatins;indeed, the Governor has said to me, that a parties bruosiement, of which we had been speaking, wan forming by the fiction of Sir Sidney Smith. Mr. Purvis a the English agent, blow occupied in ascertaining (as there is no harbour here) if a beee can be formed, without too muck expence." The acquiescence or the Portuguese Government in her occupation of the Azores, is a sufficient reply, ve t any necessary, to the idle and absurd declama tions of the Meniteur on cur having taken possession of Madeira. We understand, that the authority for the report brought by the Rock schooner, of the Rochefort squa dron having reached Toulon, is an American vessel, which was spoken by one of our frigates, and the fri gate commun icated the intelligence to the Rock. The American had recently left Rochelle, and the Captain gated, that before he sailed from that port, an account bad been received by telegraph of the an ival of the Rochefort squadron. He farther stated, that it was believed an army of 59,000 men had been assembled m the neighbourhood of Toulon. We should not at tach much credit to this report, if we were not in formed that Sir RICHARD STRACHAN had sailed for the Mediterranean in pursuit of the enemy. In fact, it appears from intelligence brought to Plymouth by the Cambrian frigate, the Hon. Captain PAGET, that' the Yrenclt,squadron was seen passing the Streights of Gibraltar on the 2fith or 27th of January: Admiral Sir RICRAIU) STRACHAV, it is said, passed the Streights on the 9th of last month. We trust, however, that the report of the enemy having reached Torsion is not correct, as Lord COLLINGWOOD, who is in that part of the Mediterranean, may have a chance of falling in with them. We are sorry to state, that although Mr. Han Am. HNC= is free from the dangerous consequences of his gcidiat, it is necessary that he should, for some time, abstain from his personal attendance in Parliarnent.— The 'absence of men of his character and abilities, is at all times to be lamented, but particularly in the present most important discussions. The vacancy in the Board of Aldermen of Dublin, by the death of Alderman HUTTON, has been filled by the election of JOHN CLAUDIUS BERESFORD, Esq. • Thursday being the day appointed, in Dublin Cas tle, for the celebration of her MAJESTY'S Birth, the same was observed with the usual demonstrations. • • ----- Tuesday se'nnight the Rev. Pr: Hayes'ofiliggot tleeti Dublin, having dined in. company with a friend at the Black Rock, onlis way home, unluckily took 2 fancy to the Strand as the course hy which to return. Being dark at the time, the tide also coming . in, he missed the usual route, and passed. over, swimming his horse great part of the way, to the battery at the Pigeon-house, where the Gentleman and horse be came victims to his imprudence. - - 111 _ Letters from Gottenburgh by the lust conveyance state, that General STEDING, brother to the late Swe dish Ambassador at the Court of St. Petersburgh, has he a ges Van imse to w th w e t S h wedish G 20,000 sowvernisnhiternoto,pbsy,t-Qhdiceb. feud Finland against the invasion of 100,000 Russians. This General's professional talents are much esteemed. The Captain of a vessel which has just arrived from apoteh port, states the prevalence of a report through etrt the Continent, that BONAPARTE is about to attempt the execution of his long promised project, for the establishment of a King of Jerusalem, and that the art of Constantinople will, according to appear ailees, acquiesce in the plan. Possibly the currency ' 'IOUs rumour is at present promoted, Merely with a Ike , to facilitate the attainment of the ,loan, or loans, uhich BONAPARTE'S agents have • beat' - for some time regociating. .. . . - The Km:. of PRUSSIA has removed his _residence from Memel to Konigsberg, where he lives in a state of comparative obscurity. It doei not seem probable that he will proceed to Berlin for some time—to re side in his splendid palaces, without means adequ ate ~t 0 support his former rank, cannot be grateful to his 1 feelings. Among those who surround his Majesty' s 1 Person, arc to be found very few who were formerly known at his Court.

We are sorry to hear that the battaliim of the §cots Rciyals, which is in Tobago, has of late loit many men by the yelloW fever, while the Ist West Int ia Regiment, which is quartered along with the Royals, is very healthy. The Ist battalion of the 72d regiment has been put on the establisment 'of 1,000 men, for the purpose of India service. It is supposed to be destined for the Cape of Good Hope. Wednesday and Thur.lday last, the East Esset Militia passed through Chatham on their route to Colchester. Two companies of Royal Artdltry, in Chatham' barracks, commanded by Major Aiirx and Captain -Owes, are under marching orders, the former for Canterbtiry and the latter for Portsmouth ; they are expected to be replaced by two companies from Wool wich. The 38th, 40th, 51st, Ist battalion of the 88th, and 2d battalion of 87th, are under orders for foreign service. The Colours of the " Old Twentieth," will bear the words Minden" and " Maida," in commemoration of their ancient and modern honours. A route and orders unexpectedly arrived, on Mon day, at Ramsgate Barracks, for the 2d West York Militia, commanded by Lord Dowse, to march from Ramsgate Barracks for Dover, on Wednesday. As no other regiment is mentioned as likely to supply their place, it is supposed that this movement is for the purpose of accommodating troops expected to em bark at that place on an expedition. The Barracks at Ospringe are also to be evacuated, for the accommo dation of troops on their march to the coast. The total number of the Militia who have volun teered into the line, under the late Act of Parliament, is 16,211.

CITY EUSINESS.—A Common Hall was held at Guildhall, yesterday, for the Election of a Bridge master, in the room of Mr. WELLS, deceased, when R. YEOWARD, S. THODEY, T. HOLLANDS, and T. MALLISON were put in nomination. The Sheriffs declared Mr. YEOWARD to have the majority ; but poll was demanded for Messrs. THODEY and HOL LANDS, which continued from three to four o'clock, when the numbers were, for Mr. YEOWARD, 128— Mr. THODEY, ill—Mr. HOLLANDS, 33. A Court of Aldermen was also held, at which the price of Bread was ordered to be raised to 111 d the Quartern Loaf.—J. PEALE, Esq. surrendered the office of Secondary of the Poultry Compter, and P.

Not only have the Captains of the different packets subscribed to reward Captain ROGERS, of the Windsor Castle packet, but the whole crews have thrown in their mite, and truly worthy is he of every thing that can be done for him : he sa►led from this place about eleven years ago, before the mast, and by his good conduct has raised himself to a command. We trust, whilst he is in London, a narrative will be taken of the event : he is only twenty-four years of age, and of un assuming manners. It appears from the last account from Barhadoes, that every wounded officer on board the French privateer, is since dead of his wounds. FROM LLOYD'S LIST.

Eight sail procee ded for England, and got about ten miles west of the Schaw, but a heavy gale from the West corning on, we bore away for the Commodore again. At two P.

E. tacked ship, and bore away for England, and had a very fine passage ; but think I am the only vessel that has got over out of fifty sail, not having seen a single Tee sl ;lithe passage. The fleet had been out twice before, nd got as far as the schaw." ~..... ~ ~rcaz~:~ . -?HEAD' Last week a Gentleman Jibe name of Merairin made his first appearance at the Bath .theatre in.. the part of Shylock. The iratiety of expression so essential to this character, was admirably supported, .anh rec eived the well-deserved tribUte of loud and li ber al applause. • • KIND'S THZATRF..—Last night was presented for the first time a new Comic Opera, by BUONAIUTI, en: titled Il Fourbo contrail Fourbo, or Diamond cut Diamond,. The Principal characters, by Madame CATALAN( ' Signors Rion; and Mcialaxt, were supported with great spirit and vivacity. The music, by FIORAVAN'e s Is Well adapted and pleasing, but neither novel nor Various. The piece, however, is more than commonly well got up, new, and the whole was received with general applause. DatmT-LANE.—Last night a new musical farce was performed at this Theatre, entitled In and Out ofrune, said to be the literary production of a man of fashion; melodized by Mr. COUTO, exhibiting the following Dramatis Persons : Old Discord-- MY. Do WTON Meshec !a Jew) - WIWITZEIL Cornet Gorget • Da CAMP Corporal Mullowney Jo HNSTONE Dingy (a Negro Servant) - MATHEW. Sons of Discord S Outlaws Edw ar a les rd i Wray Watchmen - - Messrs. SMITH and Mul.i.o Margaretta (a Scots Lady) - Miss DUNCAN Rosa (Daughter to Discord) LYON Sally - Mrs. BLAND The reception experienced by this Piece, does not warrant our devoting much attention to the story, which is simply that of an old rich Attorney, dis tracted by a musico-mania that has seized his whole family, from the garret to the cellar; in one of the paroxysms of which, his daughter is carried off by a young Officer, who owes him a considerable sum of money, being the amount of a debt which he had purchased of a Jew. These slight materials, which are ill put together, were last nigh t scarcely tolerated, till the fall of 'the curtain, in consideration of the music, which, to say nothing more of it, is pretty. Miss DUNCAN sung a pleasing Scotch air, and JOHN STONE an Irish ditty, which was encored. But the in cidents introduced are so grossly vulgar, and the dia logue so meagre, as to have greatly roused the in dignation, and tired the patience, of the Audience, early in the second Act. It was given out by Dr- CAMP for a second representation, but in the midst of clamour, which rendered his voice inaudible. It may, however, by timely doctoring, preserve a brief existence. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. - - - - - Stn—A few evenings ago I went to Covent Garden Theatre, to see the tragedy of Hamlet, and though I give Mr. KENIBLE full credit for the general excellence of his performance, in the arduous character he sus tains in that play, yet I cannot help thinking, that in his instructions to the players he is extremely defective. The instructions, as conceived by SumcsmAue, are perhaps better than could now occur to the most ex perienced veteran of the stage, and they are expressed with that simplicity which the occasion required.— It follows that this advice should be given in the most easy and simple manner, suitable to private familiar conversation—but Mr. K. has so long been accustom ed to the pompous diction of tragedy, that it seems to pervade all his acting, however simple and familiar the character ;. and he delivers his instructions to the players in Handet, with nearly the same formality, the same tone, and pomposity, as he does the celebrated soliloquy. This is unnatural, and what the most .common observer must see is not right. Let any one place - hirnself.in the situation of giving instructions to his own servants, or any : other, upon any subject, and he Will inunediately.fiad how very far Mr. K." o'ersteps the - modesty of nature," in his acting in this instance. In fact there is scarcely a word in the instructions but • what rises' up in judgment against Mr. K. at the 1 ..:- v.-arinotaent he is delivering them. A. B. Faiiiii24, 1808. The Trustees of the Cloth Hall, at Huddersfield, have called a meeting of the clothiers in that district, to be held at the Cloth Hall, to petition his Majesty for the lescoration•of peace. The Trustees of the BradforclAkth Hall have refused to promote a simi. lad stisetlieg at 'that place ; and have expressed their reliance okhis• Maje_sty, through his Ministers, seizing every opportunity to .maie peace on reasonable and honourable tbrins - 1 . alcd that a petition sent now can hive no effect to'accelerate so desirable an object, but may increase the demands of our enemies. • Yesutr-clay se'nnight the Bank of Messrs, Raggett, Graham, Attwood, and Seymour, of Basingstoke, was broke open, and a small quantity of silver stolen thereout. .Bextuo.—Gully and Gregson.—The doubts that had for some time existed relative to the probability of the second battle not taking place were yesterday removed. Thipugaists, with their friends, met yesterday, for the purpose of making the stake 1001. a side, 501. havinE been staked two months since. The second stake was made good by the backers of the parties ; and Greg:on goes into the country on training this day. Gully will also go into training in the course of the week. The battle is fixed to take place on the 10th of May fit., 2501. a side. The pugilists are each in good healt And alike eager for combat.
