bet, Captain Foskett, Ise . would have t:eatiti at least with as much severity as the Duke of cumberland had done. The Hon. General then ot a, that the refusal to promote Captain Foskett t hat regiment was perfectly justified by the state tentol the Commanding Officer, who had glittn it 3 , his ()pi&On, which he was bound to declari when eov ired, that Captain Foskett was Milk to command 3 squadron —but a distinction had been taketi., and elf o f indulgence to Captain Foskett he bad been e: T er ecl a majority in a regiment of infantry. As to the exchange by as which a senior o ffi cer was introduced m„ fo r into the regiment, this was perfectly coin /non in the army—as to his not being sent to Spain, there was the authority of the Commanding Officer tlat hie troop was the worst, and it would have been i m p r oper to have sent him on a service where he tr i g h t e ventually have commanded the regiment. Be sicbs, all tat' grievances of which the Petitioner corn el.iined had been redressed by the Lite Commander in thief, !this own way, except two, which were no more rrievances town the order to attend parade. TheCom .m,,:iderin Chief had reallyitheiefore no grievance to ;„,,,,.„,. !!:- admitted that the article of war allud ed t o id not relate solely to peenniary grievances, but t h e C6minander in Chief had a discretionary power, as he contended. If the article, however, h:id been as im ter4tWe as had been alledged, still the Commander i ;; C:ief, having nothing to report upon, had not ne g. 'ected his duty. The Honourable General then re marked, that the essentials of discipline were firm ress, moderafon,and a filendly attention to the troops. Th e se qualities had not been bast sight of on the pre sent occasion. But though the absence of harshness was a principal part of discipline, refractory officers could sometimes be found, with regard to whom, severity would be necessary. He then pronounced a bigh panegyric on the British troop, and concluded by declaring his detestation of injustici, tyranny, and r ression. These would never find an advocate in him; but the very reverse had been displayed through mit in the conduct of the accused. He moved the previd nis question on the first resolution, proposing to LegAti ye the rest. Mr. WHITBREAD, in an energetic speech, sup ted the motion. He defended the conduct of Cap tain Foskett, and read various documents, amongst others, letters from Sir Robert Wilson and Colonel askew, highly creditable to the conduct of that Officer as a Gentleman and a soldier. Mr. MANNING expressed his wish to support the mce on. Mr. MANNERS SUTTON and Colonel Lori. TrIS defended the conduct of the Duke elf Contier• laud ; and contended that the Commander in Chief pursued the course which the tale sense of duty pointed Strangers 'were Grdcred to withdraw ; but no clivi !irm took place, and the motion was negativel _ _ 'I he discussion on the Vote of Credit was p' Eponed tdl tomorrow. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and at 'nalf past two o'clock this morning the House adjourned. THE EVENING S'tAlt. LONDON. FRIDAY, JUNE 8.

The mob, as before, assailed the troops with bricks and stones, and persevered in their hostility in defiance of remonstrances or threats: contequence of which, the Burgomaster found it expedient to request that the town might be protected by a further reinforcement. It was understood on the ith, that an additional number of French troops, to ccusist of 12,000 men, would immediately be guar in Rotterdam.

Last night (rather late in the seasnn) a newCrirriedy was produced at this Theatre, written by the veteran CUNIBERLAND, an Author to whom the Public is in debted f.r some of the best dramatic productions of the last fifty years. It is entitled T. 4. IVidoiw's only Son.—The following are the principal characters : Lord Fungus - - Mr. SI 34)10 NS. Lord Spangle - • - losers. Sir Marinaduke Montalbert F.swcur. r. Frederick Montalbct t - C. 1C11431. r. Mr. Heartly - - MCARAV. Isaac - . EN!! Y Lady Fungus - . - Mrs. OATEN rulArr. Caroline - Miss Nos rom. Mrs. Mentalbert - . Mrs. WE.STUN. The father of Frederick Montalbert, tlse 11 7 ifloco's only Son, lust his life in an aff.sir of hollow. At the commencement of the play, Friderick is jtlit stepping into tl.e world, from the obscurity of t college, where, however, he has become a most accomplished scholar, but with a high s:nse F E honour His friend, Mr. Hearly, wishes to introduce him to tie: patronage of Lord Fungus, as his rich uncle, Sir I\ farm:l(lo.e, the brodur of his deceased father, has hither to taken no notice of him. ‘Vhile this bturiness is going forward, however, a worthy old Steward, who has great influ ence with Sir Maimaduke, works upon him to make over his estate to Frederick, wits, on bein3 introduced to the family of Lord Fungus, falls in love with the :seiress of that family, Caroline, previously engaged by her father to Lord Spangle, a butterfly man of fa shion ; who is drawn into a duel with Frederick, not on account of the lady, but in consequence of some haughty treatment, which the high spirit of the latter could not brook from the former —in this duel, the life of lirederick is rather romantically preserved, by the ball glancing from the setting of the miniature picture of his deceased father, which he wears in his bosom : notwithstanding this narrow escape, he ho nourably tires his pistol in the air. Spangle, finding hivpretensions not likely to succeed in the Fungus fa mily, withdraws himself, and leaves his rival, now grown rich, in possession of Caroline. Some misun derstandings which had taken place between the Ba ronet and Fungus are also easily settled, by explana tion, and the piece concludes as usual, with a wedding. These materials arc very slight, and they are not worked up with much dramatic art ; but the langun:e of the play is extremely finished—the sentiments are admirable—the satire keen—and the humour, what there is of it, chaste. It will probably be said, that the morality of the piece is more that of the pulpit than die stage ; the author teaches rather by precept than by example. His characters are well finished, but not strongly coloured, and there is scarcely an incident which produces good stage effect ; the design of the Comedy is, however, so laudable, and the writing so elegant, that it went of generally with applause,except towards the end, where a few passages appeared ra ther trifling and tedious. The Prologue and Epi- Logue, delivered by JONES and Miss NORTON, had not I much to recommend them, hut were well spoken ; Oleic two performers were also extremely successful in their several parts, as were all the others, particu larly ENIKRV, in the old steward. The shortness of this play is one recommendation of it—little.more than two hours elapsed in the representation. The house, till half price, was not numerously attended. TheßirminghansTnartre, since the commenczment Dispatcheswere vesterdayre4vedat the Admiralty of the season, has been well attended, under the su from Admiral S'r ,TAMEs SaumAitry., corroborative of perintendance of Mr. M'CitEaDY : the company, by the death of the Crown Prince of Sweden.

THE ARMY. The 2Gth and 77th Regiments of Foot march e d into Portsmouth yesterday, and embarked lot Guern sey and Jersey. -Wedneday the Norfolk Local Militia, commanded by Lord SUFFIELD (the Lord Lieutenant of the County) were reviewed by General Romxi.ox, Yarmouth, who expressed great satisfaction for their steadiness and so:dier-like conduct while on die ground, and yesterday morning they returned home, 11.iving been on duty 21 days. _ Wednesday, the 50th tilt. the Ist Regiment of Herefordshire Local Militia, commanded by Colonel MAT - rums, on duty in Hereford, were inspected hr M.ijor-General Cliffs, on the exercise ground of the Regiment, adjlining the River Wye. A little after ten the General arrived on the ground, and was re ceived with the usual honours : he then dismounted, and passed tip and down the line, most minutely in. specting the aims and accoutrements of the men. On the General's remounting, the regiment marched; past in slow and quick time s and a variety of ma nceuvres were executed with occasional firings, the light company covering ; the whole being ccncl tided with the formation of the hollow square, advancing and retiring by the different angles and feces and firings; on the line being re-formed, tu co vollies were fired and a capital charge made. 'I:1N General th en . advanced to Colonel MATTIIEWS, and in the most flattering manner expressed his surprise and approba. tion at what he had witnessed, hardly conceiving it possible for any Local Militia in so short a period to arrive at such perfection, he remarked how excellently the regiment was officered, and slid he should hot fail to report to General Wan% how much he Lid been gratified by their conduct on that day, which WAS equally honourable to the Officers and the men. During the whole of the manoeuvres the General :as in the midst of the Regiment inspecting each coin piny and its Officers in turn, with a close attentsi d ss, that rendered his approbation dolibly valuable. 'rue Officers afterwards entertained a vcry large number of friends with a sumptuous dinner at the Hotel, and on Friday the iegiment finished their duty, and were discharged, after having acquitted themsel% es equally well as soldiers and citizens, and carrying with them fie good wishes of every inhabitant of Hereford.
