I. I 4 .11.~• THE NATTONAL Accounts from Gibraltar to the I tth ult. state, that the I • fever had entirely disappeared in the town, and then limited to the garrison, and the deaths and new cases were greatly diminished. On the tt2th the number of deaths was thvee. Letters from Cadiz to the 10th state, that our Minister, 2.1 r. 'Wellesley, had paid his last visits of ceremony at Cadiz, and had taken his departure for Madrid, and the same had been done by .the Executive and Legislative Functionaries. The Deputies lnfanzon, Lexan, Mexica, Vesa, Ruiz, Lo renzo, Martinez, Pena, and several other leading Members of the Cortes, had died of the contagious fever. The Sici lian Ambassador is also among the victims. 'Letters received on Thursday from Plymouth, contain the disagreeable . confirmation of the intelligence, that eight of our Southern whalers, with full cargoes, have been captured' by the American frigate Essex, Captain Porter, off the Gal hpag,os Islands in the South Sea. his Ilighneis the Hereditary Prince of Orange gets a Bri tish regiment, as a reward for hie. gallant services under the Great Wellington in the Peninsula. This is a mark of dis tinction at once judicious and muni fi cent, on the part of the "'three Regent and his Ministers. It will, of course, attach the future Sovereigns of Holland more closely to British interests. An account has been required by the War Office, from all Paymasters and Army Agents, of the arrears in their hands 'since the year 1 7 83.—This, we understand, will be published immediately, and the highly beneficial consequence will be, to enable the representatives of all officers who have died in the last thirty years, to ascertain if any balance is due to them, and where they may at once apply for their prompt discharge. At a time when the prison of the King's Bench is so crowded with unfortunate inhabitants as it now is, we cannot but applaud the considerate humanity of Mr. Jones, the Marshal; who, to alleviate their situation, has officially made it known, that a . very large proportion of them may, on giving proper security, enjoy the . comfort of removing into the Rules, without any demand of the usual fees on ob • taining such a privilege. Mrs. Clarke, it is said, has pleaded . Guilty to an indict. ment for a libel upon the Right lion. Wm. Fitzgerald, Chan cellor of the Exchequer for Ireland.- Mr. Magee, -proprietor of the Dublin Evening Post, con- victod of a libel oii the Duke of Richmond, has been sen tenced, by the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, to pay a fine of 5001. to be imprisoned two years from the 28th of July last, and to give securities, himself in 10001. and two sure- ties in 5001. each, to keep the peace for seven years. A Court of Common Council was held on Tuesday, when the following Resolution , moved by Mr. Jacks, and seconded by Mr. Favell, was unanimously agreed to by the Court: — Resolved unanimously, That an humble, dutiful, and loyal Ad dress be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, to congratulate his Royal Highness on the happy state .of affairs (mem sione3 by the late Revolution in Holland, whereby it prospect* is opened of a renewal of its ancient alliance with this country ; to express the sati.tetion which this Court feels, on the restoration Al4jesty of his Electoral Dominions; and its warmest hopes, that by the further progress of his Majesty's arms within the tcyri tory of France, and by the Allies in other parts of Europe, the power of the enemy will be eflectnally broken, whereby the surest expectations may be entertained . af the speedy attainment of a sate, honourable, and permanent peace. An Address, conformable to the above Resolution, was afterwatils. agreed to, and the Sheriffs, attended by the Re membrancer, were diLected to wait tyou the Prince Ritent, to know his pleasure when the Court should attend him therewith. DRV (V-LANE. On 'Friday a new prelude, called " Orange Boren ; or, More Good News'!" was performed tOr the first time. It is onderstood to be from the pen of Mr. Dmitri ; hut it is of very little import ance who is the author, as the haste. in which it has been composed would have precluded a writer of first rate talents from exerting - himself with success. and the piece, torch as it now comes forth to the world, is of such a character„ that it is impossible to sey we' wonder how it etiold be produced in so short a time. It is Itoi 414 subject for criticism. Sayiug this, e admit the hnrry in which it has been brought tbrward to be a satisfactory excuse for the. absence of all literary talent and Dramatic ingenuity. The.. author had no time to study either situation or dialogue, and " Orange Boren." conAdered as a theatrical entertain.' MOIL is about as good a piece as we should have expetted to view, if, the day after the news •ot the counter Revolution in Holland arrived, we had been invited to see the Actors run on the stage and .make a farce extempore, by saying all the pleasant patriotic thingp they could think of.—The music, composed and selected by IV iiITA• lIER, is ,very pleasing, and the variety of dancing introduced, give• this preltide a chiim to praise as a Ballet. Viewing it as a trine produced with a laudable anxiety to- meet the puhlic feel ina ia a moment of general exultation, we are not sorry it is likely to enjoy a .short-lived popularity. Any thing that read.~to warm the feelinkii of rapture with which Englishmen behold the hippy bursting of the bonds of tyrautry, de serves indulgence. Hurry is not only es:crucible, but praise-worthy, on such an occasion, and in making but an attenpt, an Author does trot add to his literary fame, :Min ugh the pr.,ise of nragna -I,iniity is due to him for risking the reputation he may have previ ously eprnea, from a lauddble desire th please, from a generous' wish to unite all hearts in the cause of freedom.
