Lift night the Houle of Commons voted the fum of linty thonfand pounds, together with an annuity of timers thoutand pounds, as a compenfation to the PRINCE of (NANCE. A Vote of Credit for two mil lions five hundred thoufand poundsw•as alfu agreed to. Another Hamhurgh Mail arrived at a late hour lan night, but a number of the articles brought by it have been anticipated by the French Papers. Some, however, are new, and deferving of notice. Letters from Naples, of the z tit June Rate, that the Royal Family was not making any preparations to quit that capital, as no French garrifon was to be introduced into it. From ArconA, of the fame date, we are informed, that as the Court of Vienna has refufed to Phut its Fortson the Adriatic againft the Englith, the French are aaively employed in the harbours of Ancona and Otranto, in fitting out flotillas, with which they tar pig, it is fail, to be able to exclude the Englifir from the whole of the Adriatic. Other letters of the 2d inft. (fate, " that Admiral Nr t.sor has arrived on the coaft of Italy from Malta. He has made difpof►tions to cut off all communica tion between Sicily and Naples, and make himfelf mailer of the Channels which afford a paffage to the Adriatic and the Archipelgo ; he has written to the s►ro of NAPLES, fignifying that he has received or der, from his Court to treat Naples and Sicily as an enemy's country,if the French troops (hall enter them. It would be, he adds, with the greateft reluOance that he lhould bombard In finc a city ; but the impe. rious nectifity of preventing its coming into the pot feffion of the enemy would compel him to it. He lamented greatly, that be fhould be obliged to all handy againft a fovereign from whom he has re ceived In many civilities, but his perfonal fentiments of gratitude cannot enter into competition with hisduty." According to fevered private letters the blockade of the Elbe is likelySto produce the effea expcsled from it. The Keno of PRUSSIA, it is laid, is very angry at the event, or rather at the circumflances which have produced it, the North of Germany baying (offered great inconvenience from the in teruption its commerce has fuftained is confe quence of it. His Paosstast Miresry, it is added, bas remonfirated with the Ceiss Colours., who has agreed to withdraw his troops from the Banks of the Elbe, and to allow them to be occupied by Prof fian (Alien. The truth is, that the French them. (elves haie occalloned fuch diftrefs io the North of Germany, by producing the neecflity for blockading the Elbe, they have made themfelves fo hated by it, that they have found it prudent to yield, and have called upon the King of PRUSSIA to folicit that he may occupy the Banks of the Elbe, and protein the neutrality of chit slyer. This his Majefly has Tea. dily done, and it is expelled his troops will take their nations accordingly. Such a proceeding may pro teEt commerce to a certain extent ; but we mull never forget that the French can refume their ground at pleafure. Sufficient will be doge by Pruffia to de prive England of her motive for blockading the Elbe, but not to fecure its abfotute neutrality, and inde pendence of France. To have gained even fo much by the blockade will be a great deal. It will convince France of her abforklity in threatening to (hut this country out from the Continent. General Moevase is (aid to have already withdrawn the French troops from Harbourg, on the oppofite fide of the river to Hamburgh, and the Pruflians were expefted to occu py immediately ;that place, Stadt, Cuxhaven, and even Lauenburg. A private letter from llamburgh lays, " Nothing can equal the confternation of the merchants of city, fence the Government has received the official intelligence of the blockade of the Elbe by a Britifh Iquadron, confining of leveret frigates and cutters ; one of which has taken a (Latina near the Red Buoy in the Elbe, In that it is impoffihle fur any (hips to enter. The porters and watehoufemen, a moll nu• memo: holy, in 'hi, place, are in a Rate bordering upon difira9ion, molt of them having loft their tub. litience by this meafure. The news of the blockade was received late on the 9th inn.juft when the French Generals Mn rice and MKT/4111, in company with the French blininer RSINHARD, were at the French p',av houfe. One of the Minis er's let wants brought the Englifh papers into his mallet's box, who imme. ChAtely handed them to the Generals."

Lail night was performed, for the firft time, a Co. mic Opera, in two A4ls, called Love Laughs at Lori fmitlis.

It is taken from a Freach piece, entitled, Une performed lately with great applaufe at Paris, and written by J. N. BOUILLY. Mr. WILD, lon of the late Prompter, brought it to this country. The tran &don is by Mr. ARTHUR. GRIFFINHOOF. The title will at once intimate that the plot is founded upon the triumph of youthful attachment over aged artifice. Lydia, a beautiful heirefs, is left under the guardianfhip of Vigil, an old untidy painter, who coops her up lora grated room, with the intention of forcing her to be come his wife. From her esquifite form, however, he had drawn her in many of his pieces, and file thus. unfeen, gains a crowd of admirers. Among thefe is Captain Beldars, of the Guards, who forms various ltratagems to converfe with her and to carry her off, but who is always outwitted by the watchfuloefs and cunning of old Vigil. At last, by the affitiance of Rift, his fervant. he is introduced into the painting room as a handfome ferjeant, from whom the deluded wilt was to draw a portrait of Taomus i Apia be ing to fit for Ca as SADA. Thus their hands are joine4 by the grand enemy of their union, and they are de. fired to bellow blaudifliments upon each other by him, the great objed of whole life had been to keep them afunder. The piece is interfperfed with a number of pleafant tongs. It was uthered in by a very pretty overture, which, together with the airs, afford a new proof of Mr. Kiwi's toile in compofition and judgment in [elation. We never law any theatrical predation more favourably received. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NSIVINAMCIT FIRST Comas& Merriso.—Mon. day.—Mr. Watfon's Gaasr, 1111. 91b againft Mr. Wilfon's Tom: 811. R.
