Peers, Nov. 12.—The King of Westphalia ar rived at Foutaitsbleau on Tuesday evening, and in the morning a number of carriages sot out from the Court to meet the Kiug•olSasony On the 31.4 of October some of the Guards of the King of the Two Sicilies arrived at Rome, and preparations are making there for the reception of kis Majesty, who is expected there in a few days. VIINNA, Nov. 2.—We are assured that the greater part of the Autriatt fortresses occupied by French troops, which are to be given back to the Beeperur of Austria, mill be dismantled, among others are Raab, in Hungary, and Gratz,in Styria. All the works of these two places are uudermined. New maps of Atistria have been published with. in these few days, puiti;tng out the boundaries, as stipulated by the late troll , of the 14th of October. According to aceouut, from Scullin, the Russians follow up the advantages they hate gained over the Turks with so much activity, that they were expected to be at Vagina by the beginning of Octo ber. There can be no doubt that all Bulgaria will be conquered before the winter. Some of the Asiatic corps of the army of the Grated Vizier are already beginning its retreat.—(Rotterdam (:ou rant, Nov. 16.) SAvtct.e, Noy. 9.—By an account transmitted . by the Governor-General of Gerona, it appears, that from the 15th October, on u hick day the French opened their fire on Gerona, till last night, 75,023 balls were fired against that town, and 9,058 grenades and 11,0b0 bombs thrown into the place, which still holds . out, and persists unshaken in the glnrious resolution nut to surrender to its ferocious besiegers. They write from Matta.tv, under date of the 23th October, that a great number of ships were discovered at les from that place, and much tire seen.

" Nut to be opened." They instantly broke open a cover, when, to their great sur prise, they found in it a man in silken female at. who since proves to he one of their own rJrps. A French national cockade was tied to his middle, besides a ribbon of the Order of the Legion of Honour. All search for the person who sent thii Ghost have hithert o proved fruitless. Tile body was embalmed, and the bowels were its a separate box. The inside address, " To the Director of the French Customs." The French Agent and Commander of the Ma rine on the Elba and Weser, Mentcabrier, is building for his own account several privateers at Rod, that are next season to cruise in the Baltic. It is said that Bonaparte intends soou to have him. self crooned Emperor of Germany at Rome, or in Paris, for which reason he has taken all the records relative to the German Empire, from asses the Imperial Austrian Archievcs at Vienna. 8A1'4113 or TUC ELV, Nov. 10.—The Con gress %bleb has been held for this last fortnight at the house of the French Minister at Ilamburgh, M. Dc Rourrier, at which the later and N. Rein hard, now French Minister at the Court of Cad. sell, presided, had for object the definitive fate of the tif Bremen, Ilamburgh, and Lubeck, each of which had sent two depeties. Monsieur Reinhard sets out nth the result of this Con. girls fur Cassel to-day or tu-morruw, from whence the whole will be forwarded to Paris. Iluilapeete, is said .to have demanded a small sketch of the , fundamental laws of the Ilatnbro' government' and constitution, as well as those of Lubeck and Bremen. Thu whole has been set up by Mr. Von Hesse, and some other learned Ilamburghers. The Minister Reinhaud, on taking leave of the deputies, declared to the Ilamburghers, that he would venture to pledge them his honour, that Ns roLauri wools! confirm their Constitution, which would, of course, undergo no change. This promise has brightened up many a care-worn patriotic face. ••..Z.1.1••• Within these three days, Government have granted licences for' Wakberen and the neighbour ing ports in Zealand.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. ..-.....- Wnan the Managers wish to eure a new piece, it is generally announced fur repetition at the foot 1 1 of the pl4y-bills, with an assurance of its having been received, with 66 unbounded applause,"— even though it may have escaped damnation, merely by the trick of stuffing: 3u, in announc ing the nightly occurrences at this 44 SPLYADID itotrice,"—the doily prints, in the service of the House, congratulate the public, on thu expiring opposition of the 64 insubordinate"—after an evening of loud disapprobation—managerial rut . - fianism—and Bow street brutality. These facetious compositions, arc daily im proving in that style, termed the burlesque.--This morning the Public arc gratified by certain " Lines," ironically termed Poetry, and face tiously professing to be 66 Elegiac," on the decease of Old Prices.—ln the same simple Print, the at count of the occurrences at this 64 magnificent Theatre" ea Saturday night concludes in the following words : " Notwithstanding the partial interruption which took place during the last act of the • Ploy nod the Farce, both ;sere heard tokrably well ; and, upon the whsle, we have a pleasure in anaouticiag, that the dirgracefalacenes which have taken place at this rriognOcant Theatre, may new be consi dered os completely at an end; for, certainly, although nal se I quiet upon this, us upon the pro preceding evsnings, the row ouw becomes too centens,Wiek to be noticed, as threatening serious consequences; sod the seise principal, proceeds foam the applause of those who wish again toHanes ., is a ratioual usamer, time asweseaseat of the drama. ' In proof of the correctness of which assertion, that the disgraceful scenes at the Theatre, may be considered " as completely at an end," we have, in the very satue paper, an account, of the examination of.-.a CAPTAIN in the army—trso BARRISTERS---a MLRCIIIANT—Ond BARONET...- all of whom, directly, or indirectly, have dared to express disapprobation. This mode of proving the decease of Old Prices, is like the Hibernian bon mot of the Gentleman announcing his own in. ferment. But where, in the name of Heaven, have the "black.gnard" 0. P.'s hid themselves ? The Newspapers in the service of the Managers, have daily told its, "any time" these six weeks, that the 0. P. 4 s are all black-guards...whether they mean to compliment Sir Godfrey Webster, Cap tain Fitzgerald, Mr. Baker, Mr. Eagle, Mr. Wheatley, and the other (.;entletnen, who were examin-d at Bow-street on Saturday, with that epithet, we know not—Sir Richard Hill, Sir G. Heathcote, Mr. Clifford, and other characters, of high respectability, must, of course, be included in this elegant and com prehensive epithet. But perhaps we are mis. taking—there inay be a novel transposition of lan. page, 14 the words Gentleman mut Blackguard, at this " magnificent Theatre." Blackguard we ; mut therefore consider as signifying U. P. of whatever rank, character, or description, may be the sai•l 0.

The Public must, however, now be convinced, that the Proprietors and their agents, from Professor Brandon to Shone, the journeyman blarksmith (who, being out of that accustomed employ, did nut disdain to risir the Theatre every night, and afterwards pawn the • hat, of which Mr. Wienholt was robbed), are au ; thitaiwil to consider and beat as blackguards, all who dare to express disapprobation, or display in. subordination, within the walls of this same " magnificent" Tlwatre. • SATURD To witness the porfo:•matice of the " English Fke(," and " liaising the Wind," there were stsitioncd in tl' Pit several hundred Gentlemen G(speak ,tig in the dramatic dialect); amongst which eittlenteit n ere divers Lathes of appearance acre. rate!) corresponding with that of their " mates." About half-past five we saw 23 individuals, who, to conceal the gentility of their appearance, we prisume, were intalthil Up In great coats and silken cravats, cuter the Theatre at the Plage. which "same Gentlemen we afterwards had the happiness of recognizing in the Pit.— They,however, preserved the disguise in which they had entered, prubably from a modest reluctance to to have the presence of such a bevy of fashionables publicly noticed. The presence of this party, we, .ares,to bra fact,they sat in a botlyotear the back of the Pit. The truth is, the effort, completely to stuff the Pit, was more successful on Saturday night, then on any evening since the oretting of the 'rite atre. At half price the money visitors who conk! squeeze in At the Pit doors, were, fur a con. (Utterable time, jammed in between the benches and the sides by the " Corps Ruffianique.”— who manoeuvred with their arms to occupy as much space as possible in the Pit. At length ,the pressure became so great, that the females were alarmed, and making their way out, the phalanx eras broken, and several of the money customers, got into the centre of the A rem*. The dissppraboe w hich had before been expressed, and particular!) in the Boxes, now became violent; and the fourth act of the play, and the whole of the farce were completely inaudible. 'The num. hers of the 0. P.'a were not equal to one-fourth of the Gentlemen in the Pit. A w f i e i ri o, oi s is up a p t o ta r c te k d was made by the Police-Wirers, by the ruffians, succeeded in dragging some persons to Bow-street, but this did nut tend to diminish the expressions of disipprobation, which conti. ;sued during the reinal:i.ler of the evening. In theßoxes, the disapprobatiun was more gene. cal, than it has been for some time. The Police Officers, and the et/i4r e G i.c en te / r l i e n r e n t r i n eis i e u b t l h a e ck P - i g t, u t a o r o a k s great offence at the beh.f dour of what (in the dra. inatic dialect only) w' ih that part part 91 Ow If oust.— the respectable ap. parel,and ele.ati linen, 's hick it kt inOsked them from the Orderly: in t h e holes, excited the indignation of Professor Brandon, %rho, as U 3114 11 was the very life and soul of the evening. Capt. Fitzgerald, of the 1031 regiment, haring the . preinuiption to join in the chorus of "God Save the King" and " Rule Britannia," became an object of furious attack. The resistance of the Captain was pow. erful and obstinate, but at length being over powered, though by numerical superiority only, he was borne off like that great sol Her, Chu lei the ICIIth of Sweden, at Bender—but not until hi s clothes were literally torn to shreds. lii the course of the attack it was deemed expedient to empty tlas pockets of this Gentleman, nho, amongst other property, lost a •alu 'bit! watct.. The surprise of the Bost-street Maii•trates was not small on beholding the intruduction of such a figure as Captain Fitzgerald presented, tin being set down at their bar ; but the tattered I.:ight, in which the Captain appeared, could not conceal the air and address of the gentleman. When it was inquired fur what perpoec he nes brought to the bar, it nas some time before any person appeared to make a charge. At length appeared Professor Brandon, who stated, that, in the Box where Captain Fitzgerlltl was, a considerable noise and tumult had taken place. Humphries, one of the patrole, said, that the Captain had called out 0. P., and he had, with others, dragged him oat. Captain Fitzgerald then stated, that he bore his Majesty's Commission as Captain in the 103 d Regitneet ; that lie had re. hosed to London in the niornire , of Saterilar, from the West Indies, where he lead been fur se world years; and, quit he hailecerfainly joined in• Singing " God Save the King" and " Rule:Bri tannia. Another aocretlited witness, who calla himself a hu:lder, bat who is, the fact, the clerk of Mr. Copeland, the builder, James o,horne by smelt, then swore, that the Captain had struck the back of the Mils Boxes, with his stick, mid called tint 46 Old Prices," &e. This, the Captain denied ; i but he was ordered to find bail — on which he ob served, that such a decision was tapitamount to sentence of imprisonment, as be was an utter strait ger in London. Two Gentlemen from the City' i how.'ver bailed bite. i Mr. Ghalaxst earnestly recommended to Pro. fessnr Brandon to tied the watch of which the. I Captain had been.robbed, respecting 'shell the Professor promised to make dill ant ttigniries.— That the watch will be produced, we Ha re nut the sligheit doubt, During the examination of Capt. Fitzgerald, the OHM system of craiesion took pl see at the d ou r ; and one of the officers had ih. efrontury to take into custody Mr. Baker, 4 Barrister, is ho hail in_ silted on entering the office ; which Gentleman, on being dragged into the office, was compelled fe t And bait for an await upon the oiscer, b a hum he had hen attacked. Francis King Eagle, Esq. also a Barrister, was held to ball anon a similar charge !!! On the the examination of this Gentleman, Mr. G 'tamale promo/lotted the doctrine, that slut Office w IN 11.4 to be cosisi.lened as a Public Office on such timid. *miens, and that the Magistrates were iiis . ifii d its escledieg aH persona on hearing a enarg. , but the parties cuneernotl, if they thought proper. He, however, admittal, that when simile to girm judgment, the Office was an open 1.0u , t. This doctrine was infinitely beyond our comprehension. Mr. John Who'll', of Warnfortt.conri,*l' l _irog. morton-street, underwriter and insianuce-broker, was charged by Charles Humphreys, one of the patrok, with an assault ; but this being disproved by the positive testimony of Mr. Clancaq, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Cullimore, three respectable merchants, the complaint was dismissed ; but the Magistrate refused to take cognisance of the corn. plaint of Mr. Wheatley against the Offieer, for having unjustly dragged hiss out of the Theatre. Sir G. Webster, Bart. now entered the office, to prefer a complaint of assault against 11 'llium Blackman, who had not only refused him ad mission., hut subsequently collared him. Mr. GRAUAM said it was illiliCilli to ascertain any mode by which the_door of the office could be kept clear without tumult. He had himself been violeutly squeezed on a fo,mer evening in attempt ing to reach the office door. Blackman was a civil man, and Sir G. Webster might always know where to find hint. The compleiut was accord. lingly dismissed. i Edzzord Ili ight, a culler, in iitnee.street, Cu. vent-garden, was held to bail, ois tile Nth of Pro. lessor Brandon, corroborated by Liethrii k, the Otficer ; as also were Mr. Parma!, of (Word. , road, liners.draper, on the usual char,.;es of wear ing 0.
