MAY 9 cial manner a copy of that Decree, and of any other documents that siii2h m t prove to the ineredulis of my country . (notto Me) that the Decree. (if Berlin and Milan were in co Kl faith and unconditionally repealed w ith regard to the United States. He then promised me he wou!Il do it, and he has performed his promise. The same Papers state, that the Russian Minister DASH• lIOFF, having offered the mediation of his Court, to settle the exiting differences between the United States and. Great Britain, the PRESIDENT immediately accepted the offer. As this may have been done nut of mere courtesy, it cannot justify any sanguinary hopes of a speedy racification with America. It appears, however, that Mr. MADISON begins to feel the heavy pressure of the difficulties to which his blind partiality for France has subjected his Government. His proposod loan of 16 millions to support the expenses of the war, has only produced 60,000 &Mars, and the minds of the people, alarmed by the prospect of invasion and the threatened desttuction of their sea-port towns, are now more than ever averse to the prosecution of hostilities. These are reasons which may at last compel him to think seriously of megociating a peace. It was confidently reported last night from the opposite coast, that kgreat di , turbance had taken place at Amsterdam. Some troops in the vicinity were called itt to quell it, which they succeeded in doing., but with difficulty. Buonaparte passed through Frankfort on the night of the 25th ult. accompanied by Berthier, Caulincourt, and Duroc, on hi; way to join the French armie." It appears that the differences between the Courts of Stockholm and Copen!.a),en had been followed by the recal of their respective Envoys. and the King of Denmark has assined. as the ground o f the rupture, his refusal to give Up the kingdom of Norway to Sweden, in exchange for cer tain places and ten itories bordering on Holstein ; namely, the I lan,eatic Towns, His Majesty has published a procla mation, appealing to the loyalty and pat, iotism of the Danes against hieing obliged to accept these terms. Advices of the 27th nit from Alicar.t state, that great un easine,s had been felt there in conssquence of intelligence Teceived from Sicily, which it was apprehended wound re guile 'tit retu' n of the troops to that quarter. SUCHET'S forces were encamped along the line from Fuente Dehiquera to St. Felipe, and the British were stationed from Castella to Alcoy. The news by the Malta mail, which brought let 7. tersfrom thence to the 18th ultimo, removes in a great measure these apprehensions. The Queen of SICILY had insti: , ,ated her hu , band to issue a Proclamation, abrogating the powers, which, with the concurrence a the English (ommander, bad been conferred on the PRINCE ROYAL. This step was intended, by some of the French agents about the QUEEN, to lead to a revolution. It was, therefore, met by a prompt degree of energy on the part of Lord W. BENTINCK. The QUEEN and the disturbe:s of the public peace weie compelled to leave the island, the KING to re place his son in all the power which he enjoyed under the New Constitution, and general tranquillity was restored.

A most serious disturbance took place yeeerdav fte s anigilt at the Opera House, in consequence of the substitution of Madame Pucitte for Madame Catolent, in the opera of Hoer?, the Fourth, the latter having refused to perform till the arrears of salary due to her were paid up. Considerable symptoms of disapprobation were manifested during the first act of the opera, which increased when the ballet came to be per formed. Cries of " OfT, off 1" and "Manager , Mcnager !" resounded from various parts of the ' heatre, and th., opera concluded amidst a tempest of disapprobation. When the entettaimhent commenced, number of persons, who had previously expressed their disapprobstion before the curtain, now came upon the stage with the performers, and a regular row commenced between the actors and the malcontents, each striving to obtain possession of the stage, to the exclusion if the others. In the court ut the struggle between the adverse parties, the drop scene was torn, but the malcontents at length obtained possession of the stage, and gate three cheers in tilen of their victory'. Loud cries of " Manager, Manager !" now twain prevailed, and Ode Deputy Manager came forward; but so much confusion prevailed in the house, that nut a word he said could .be heard. The malcontents, in the mean while. kept possession of the stage, and it was deemed necessary to send for a guard of soldiers to dispossess them, who ..ccordingly marched upon the stage, but one of them was disarmed, and the others withdrawn by the officer who commanded them. The conquerors now paraded the stage in triumph, and one of them expressed his cont2mpt of the disapproba tion manifested by the audience, by turning his back in a certain vulgar but significant manlier. This outrageous decorum was iulently resented by some who had hitherto been towing the foremost of the rioters, who seized upon the offender, an I insisted on an apology, or the alternative of throwing him over into the orchestra. They forced him upon his knees, but could obtain no opelogv from line, and in the struggle, seve ral of his polishers were themselves pushed into the maestro. Romeo Coates next came forward to address the audience. He com menced—" Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a great misfortune, we must Aim, to be deprived of the talents of Madame Cutalani; but it is of no use for us to go a rioting."--Here the party On the stage thought fit to be content with their own exenions, and with very little ceremony in deed, drove Mr. Coates off. Many now quitted the stage, and repaired to the boxes. The clock was just upon twelve, and 'he curtain finally fell. After a second futile attempt on the part of Mr. Coates to address the audience from the pit, the company dispersed.—ln consequence of the above di-turbance, the Lord Chamberlain has issued an order, which appeared in Tuesday's Gazette, that no person shall be admitted behind the scenes, under the penalty of withdrawing the licence from the Thea tre.—The Gentleman who behaved so indecorously, by turning his rear to the audience, has since apologised in the mei s, and declared that he was in a-state of inebriation. Spicily noon th.. Prince Regent received an account from Windsor ofthe Queen being indisposed, in consequence of an attack from a female domestic, wlio was seized with a violetit fit of insanity. She. was after some trouble secured and sent to a mad-house. The Queen is now quite recovered of her fright. It probably is not generally known, that Ler Royal Highness the Pit N c Ess of W I.Es, has ever been distinguished by zealous exertions to promote objects of general utility, an indisputable evidence of which is given in the Patronage HEtt Roy Al. HIGHNESS has honoured Messrs. ROWLAND and sus (the proprietors of the Maca sar Oil) The splendid virtues of which, in promoting the Growth of Hair, are too well known to the public to need comment. The proud display of elegant females daily observed at the Exhi•- bition, is gratifying to national honour : we may, however. be per. mitted to remind our fair one, that the greatest blemish o )eanty is Superfluous Hairs on the face, neck, and arms, and th it Hu bert's Roseate Powder not only immediately removes them and all sunburns, Re, but also impai is an admit able bloom to the complexion May lie had at '2‘2, Russel-street, Covvid-garden ; Overton, Bond street ; Mullett, 3, Cheapside ; liavimm, 39, fleet-street ; and b all Perfumers. Madame tie ST.tEL has, we find, incurred the resentment of the Opposition IVriters in this country, by her just and apposite strictures on their Leaders. They now insinuate that the " Aped to the Nations of Europe against the Codiarutal System," which does so mach honour to her talents and principles, was not written by herself, but by a German of the ;lame of SCLEGEL. This may be considered as an involuntary and unconscious tribute to the bit" it of her work. lint the pu b lic will not readily believe, that so spirited, so nervous, and so elegant_a composition, could be the prodnctiou of a Gernnin, however learned and indicious...Ex amp* Leonora.
