NOV. 1?, ~►-.+.,~ Dutch frigate anchored before Tripoli, from which the Dor demanded 20.000 dollars for a peace, and 5000 of annual present. The Commandant refused to pay this sum ; but he subscribed to an armistice for four months, and then set sail." INLL, Nov. 6.—Wednesday 150 colliers .sailed from Skields : this week will clear the harbour. Many ships have been in the Tyne eight or nine weeks. The ports of Tvne an,d Wear have continued perfectly tranquil, and the greater part of the ships with which they were crowded have pro ceeded to sea. The riotous seamen, at Blyth, practised a de ception, by causing a man on horseback to enter North Shields at midnight of the 21st ult. habi'ed as a miller, but who, it was afterwards found, conveyed a message to the re fractory committee of sailors then sitting at the sign of the Roebuck. Resistance was next day practised at Blyth on board the Sterling, Carr. and her well inclined crew forcibly taken out of her. A. M. Lawson, Esq. a magistrate, being informed of this outrage, attended at that port the Roth, and having sworn in upwards of 150 special constables, opened the river Blyth, and protected the ships to sea. On Monday se'nnight, the Mayor cf Newcastle received the following letter from Lord Sigmouth:— " Whitehall, Oct. 28, 1815. 4 S I am commanded by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, to express to von his Royal Highness's entire 3pprobation of those vi gorous and d:ctsive measures. by which, on the 21st instant, the har bour of Shields was, u der your authority, taken nut of the hands of a lawless combination, and the free navigation of the river Tyne ef fectually restores. pigne,l) " St DMOUTH." To the Worshipful the Mayor of Newcastle." Four officers from Bow-street are now in the neighbour hood, and a Gentleman of consequence from the Secretary of the Home Department is at Shields, investigating the cause, progress. and conclusion of the late riots. Friday, Buonaparte's carriage, taken at Waterloo, recently brought to this country, was exhibited to the Regent in its complete state, accompanied by the officers who took it, and a number of English and foreigners of distinction. The driver, in his full dress, sitting on the near pole-horse, drives the four horses with a whip, the thong of which is about three yards long; hutlie manages the horses principally by talking to them. The two leading horses are at such a dis tance from the other two, that there is nearly room for two more. The horses are good stout dark bays, of English cut and appearance, very like a mail-coach set of the best descrip tion. It is a most singular circumstance, though One Day's clrawing of the present Grand Lottery is otrr, that not (Inc of the Great Prizes is yet drawn, - and as next Thursday is the Second Day of Drawing, it is not at all itriprobable the Three Prizes of £50,000, the FousW2o.ooo, and the Three of ,f 4,000, will all be Drawn'arthat Day; and but very few Tickets remaining Unsold, PERRY feels it his duty to remind his Friends and the Public, that they cannot be too early in their Purchases at his Fortunate Office, No. 1, Ilollorn Bars, (the Corner House,) that they may secure the above Great Prizez.—N.B.

It is now ascertained beyond a doubt, that most of the dis-, orders incident to the human frame manifest and show them selves in the urine, and we have daily proofs that the study and investigation of that fluid has been brought to the grratest perfection by the intense application of Dr. Cameron, 34, Bernei's-street, Oxford-street, who is thereby enabled to perforra the most astonishing cures, more particularly in cases of general debility, dLeases of the liver, and lingering complaints; and.we are glad to find be cxtendS Lis cibistatiFe and advice to. the poor gratuitously. .ierq*oo A L EC!

It is got up with great taste and splendour, and the several characters are sustained by the whole strength of the house. We need hardly inform our readers. that his tory is the source from whence the two leading characters of this play are drawn ; William the Third of England was the prototype of Tamerlane, and Louis XIV. of France that of Rairnet. It frequently happen: when a pert wishes to exalt the virtues of one character, by contrasting with it the vices of another, that the two are ove.drawn: this is the case with Rowe. The moderation and forbearance of Tamerlane, is greater than ever fell to the lot of human nature; the noble precept of returning good for evil, is in him carried to ass extravagant and mischievous length; instead of preventing his deadly foe from heaping fresh miseries upon himself and people, by taking advatr sage of the fortune of war and etaiu int; him as his captive, he foolishly grants him sufficient liberty to enable him to enter into fresh plots to destroy the peace of his nation. Bajazet, on the other hand, is repre sented as possessing the most brutal ferocity ; his thirst foe revenge increases in proportion to the benefits he receives; In fact, he has not one drop of the milk of human kiudness in his composition ; he is alike terrible and hateful. An apology was made for Mr. Kean, by Mr R , e, stating that he was fah:swing under a severe cold, and that he must therefore solicit the indulgence of the audit-nce. His per formance however did not appear to be affected by his in disposition, nor did we aserve any considerable alitra in his voice. Hari the character of Baja:-el been drawn ek pressly for Mr. Kean, it is almost impossible that it could have comprised more onportunities fcr the display of that gentleman's splendid abilities, which are F o admirably cal culated to give effect to the representation of the pa:sinus of hatred or disdain. Ile was greeted on his entrance by the most rapturous applause; his appearance and depnrt ment immediately impressed upon the imagination a just portrait of the character he was about to represent ; esery look and gesture bespoke the tyrant whose ambitious ‘i e ,, 2 were frustrated, but whose daring spirit was still alinve tbe frowns of fortune. Our limits wilt otevent our doing ade quate justice to his masterly performance ; we can only re matk a few of the more prominent Passages. in whicluin nut opinion, he was par ticularly great. W hen Tainer!wie upbraids him by saying The 'world! 'twould be too little for thy pride, Thou wonklst scale heaven." the reply of Baja7ct " I wnnl , l:--Away ! my soul Distlains thy conference.' was given with the greatest effect, and gained him thunder* of applause. The manner in which " I would " was uttered, was strictly in unison with the character of the tyrant, whose daring temerity we are to suppose equal t.) the most impious attempt;. NV hen he is ieleAced frim hi , chains by the order of Tamerlane, and expresses his contempt for the favour, he was equally successful. The manner in which the passage of .44 Donmatioft on thee ! thou smooth ftwnlne talker! Give me agaia my chains that I tn.ty curse thee, And gratify my rare." " Remember I'm thy foc i and hate thee deadly."
