y _~ .. A as to the nature of the cave, and yet not think it proper to contradict the Plain , witnesses, Defendants would, in other s, have a very considerable advantage.

LONDON: FRIDAY, movassan '2l. ink Pickle schooner did not, as *as antics. pated, bring a confirmation of the action in the Mediterranean. That vessel was charged with dispatches of intereit and importance, greatly sm. perior to the confirmation even of that event, in the eyes of Minitters—no less than the humble ac. ceptanct of the haughty Marquis WELLESLEY Of the cordial invitation of Mr. PERCEYAL to accept a sitivaliOn under his administration. Hence forward his Lordship will figure as Secretary of `gate fur the Foreign Department. We have bad ample ciperieuce of the vigour of Mr. Ca?4,ll*O and Lord C%SyLEREAGII. The Public will nuw wait with all due respect for a display of the vi gour of the ‘VELLIsLeys. Seville Gazettes to the Ist inst. have been re ceived. They contain, as usual, fettering ac suunts of the strength and motions of the Spa• 'fish armies. Could we bnt believe the particulars announced in these Journals, it alight seem that Cie French armies have found it necessary to con. ientratt.. Cieir scattered divisions, in consequuce of the i•icreasing strength of the Spaniards. It were, however, blind credulity to yield belief lettere we have so invariably been deceived--es has unfortunately been the ease with respect to the ►narratives in the Spanish Gazettes. With regard to the alleged insurrection, we can only express our hope that the sentiments and conduct of the inhabitants are materially changed since the re treat of Sir Joan Muoity, in Gallicia.— The English fleet is stated to have been seen off Barcelona. This increases the probability of an action. We, however, thins, that the original report will turn out to be the fact—that theft*. oy of the transports, consisting of two or three line of battle shirt, arc all that ha►e been caught. If the convoy was destined for Barcelona, the fall of that place, for want of protisiutis. is nut an un reasonable aaticipatian• WE ha‘e illiS day given the remainder of the Affidavits on which the Motion for a new Trial, in the case of Colonel ‘VAILOLF., WAS founded ; and a full account of the decision in thy Court 01 Kings Bench yesterday, on that Motion. It be !wen, that the qttiiitiJn tuned us a polot THE STAT wholly unconnected with the merits of the eiteila I--The Evidence which Colonel WARD( I might' s have adduced on the Trial was not on that OCIDS. r sion offered. That such testimony could have been given, the affidavits, sod particelarly those 'of Mr. Geeete anti _dam _ Dana; atna4atlany leatify. By what blender or mistake it was neg. lected, or omitted, to call these respectable wit nesses on the Trial, we have not the means ef as. eertaining. The Court felt itself bound by rule to discharge the Bulo---on a very obvious, and as it to us seems, correct principle—namely, that to admit of a second Trial, because witnesses who might have been heard were not called, would open the door to endless lid gatiun. New Trials have recently become fre. queue—but when causes were tries at bar in the liitte's Bench, as was formerly the case, a new trial was unknown—the practice is modern. Co. lonel NV ROLL must now submit to the payment of the damage* awarded by the Jury—but a perusal of the Affidavits will, we apprehend, leave but little doubt on the minds of the public of the real state of the facts, or of what would have been the verdict, had the patties who have made these affidavits, been called on the trial. The money is a very subordinate consideration ; Colonel WAIIDLI having, by this motion, had an opportunity of laying his case before the public, and of thus refuting the odious calumnies which 1600 been es ridiculously as malignantly cast upon his mullet's, and his character. The Pickle schooner arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday with dispatches from the Martinis WEL. LESLEY. Situ sailed from Cadiz on the Ist. No intelligence at the time .r her departure had reach. cd that place of an engagement in the Mediter— ranean. On the 31st alt. nothing decisive was known at Cadiz respecting the establishment of the new Government. Tho proceedings iu the Junta, on the 21sth, which was expected to prove an impor tant da), had not transpired at Cadiz three days after. Yesterday at two o'clock a Cabinet Conncil was held at the Foreign Office, which did not break up till half past five. There were present the LORD CUR:MELLOR, Earls BATHURST, LISKII, POOL, CMATMAM, and frfARIWWBY, Lurd MOL GUARS, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. RYDER, and Mr. K. S. DONORS. ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, Esq. of Blythstvood, is elected Lord Rector of the University of Glee. gew. An English fleet, of upwards of RO sail, is said to have been off Barcelona, about the middle of October. This was about the time Lord Cowrowoots is stated lo have sailed from Mi norca. The Earl of Roma has been appeieSed Pest. master-General of Ireland In the room of Lord xt TT. Mr. PEGI.se, a King's Messenger, arrived yes. tcrday at the Foreign Office, in ,Powning.street, ' with dispatches from Spain. The Mr. JOHNSON, who was no Wednesday evening held to bail at Bow-street, for calling out sil:ncc in the Theatre, is, we are informed, the senior partner in the house of JOIINSON and Co. in Gracechnrch.street, a house of great re. spectability. The statement in all the London Papers, that the Yiokt, Captain DARE, had just arrived from Boston, in ballast, thereby indicating the severity l i with which the Non intercourse Act is enforced in America, is untrue. That ship arrived last from Ireland, where ►ho has been lying for about six weeks. To the no small amusement of those who are in the secret, The Morning Chronicle of yesterday contained several manufactured pa. ragrapha, extracted from papers which aro said to have been received by this identical vessel.— This day Sir RICHARD STRACIIAN left town, for Walchercn, to soprrintend the embarkation of our troops, &e. from that island. One hundred and fifty canal diggers arc embarked fur the pur pose of cutting down the dykes. A letter from Walchercn states, that General Don had just sent over to Goland Roantau, at ' the French out-post Breskins, all the remalatler of the sick and wounded French prisoners of war ; and likewise all the French Physicians, Surgeons and Apothecaries, who were our pri- sonars. The embarkation of shot, shells, powder, and other stores, commenced at Flashiug on Saturday seinnight. The general opinion was, that the Island was to be immediately evacuated. Very consider able quantities of English goods are on the island 'indisposed of. The Dutch shew nodisposition to purchase, except on such terms as to subject the vender to a loss of nasty 40 per cent. on all his snicks'. • Althosgb Sart BATHUUT has not resigned the Presidency of the Board of Trade, the Noble Earl has not attended the Board siaee his appoint ment to be Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Ross, the Vice-President, has transacted the business. Orden have been sent to the Port Admiral at Plymouth to send to sea every ship of force lit for actual service. They are destined to maize in different points along the French coast, with a view of picking up the strgagling ships that might have escaped from Lord CocuNOWOOD, and run for their own ports is various directions. In Dresden t hure is a bridge of 17 archei,in pass ing over which you never meet any person: for all those who are going arc obliged to keep on one side, and thosr! who arc returning to keep on the other. This arrangement might not agrco with English constitutions. • Mr. I.:cum:ix performed on Monday, at Bris tol, the parts of the duke D' Aran2a, and Fre derick, in the farce of Of ilge To.morrote. llc .rat to close his comment there lest eight. A I N • ' • CUIENT GARDSI+I. THEATRE. 's• • --.00•••• The Newspapers, in the pay of the Proprietors, • are most anxious to persuade the Public, that the •ProPflios no longer exists. These simple arts are tee stale—they have beets too frequently tried; the Public hale been repeatedly to l 4, that the oppo sition wastleclining, that it had eesseti—rual foe Theatre was " Paradise regained," atthengh, perhaps, on the following day they have bees obliged to announce a 4 4 Paradise lost." " We have much pleasure in stating, that our praidion " respecting the imam of the Old Price faction has taken " place, eves more saddesly lima we hoped for. Last 46 night a few feeble straggles were the only symptoms of " lingering existence; and the wretched" crsatore" expires!, " with Das Juan's descent to Hell, without azroaa or rest " volition: Peace he to its ashes, for it was " a rite man sler."—Shakspeare—ifsm.- Thus sal t h the simplest of the sintplc hireling Prints of this Theatre ; but let not the public be deluded by those fulile accounts. The Proprietors fatter themselves, but most delusively, that they t.h.tll l subdue the public; and to make " assurance dou bly sure," so far from relaxing in the riffian system, the number of those luminous critics, is nightly increased. The House presented a must unsightly appearance last night. At no period of the evening was there more than one third of the numbers that we have seats ie the Kam..-and, *deducting the gratailous admissions, we apprehend ,the aggregate money receipt of the llouse, to have been under 301. ----- - The Two.shillings Gallery appeared to he occu pied, exclusively, by the Orderly!. The One shilling Pi g eon-holes, it is unnecessary to notice ; they have , for the last six weeks, been avowedly devoted to the partizans of the house. In the Boxes, there was a falling off, even in the appear ance, of the few scattered female Orderlsc who appeared at their respective posts. Of the Gein'tnen in that part of the hous.., it were sew. Aeolis to descend to a minute description. Dirty linen, and coloured cravats, were conspicuous in the Dress Boxes, as well as in numerous other quarters of the Seven-shillings tiers. But the Pit absolutely beggars description—lit addi tion to the usual system of stuffing, a con siderable number of Orderlys now enter a few minutes before the commencement of the second price—the motive is obvious. At that hour the Fuandery men, and other mechanics, have left their work, and such of them as can be prevailed upon to take the trouble, have an op portunity of performing the ceremony of abla tion, so greatly to be desired, by those persons, who have the misfortune to he mingled with this crowd of ruffians. Not fewer than 70 individuals of this description, were last night admitted at the Pit doors, about ten minutes before the money company, then in waiting, were permitted to enter. In the very midst of the Pit, were two notorious pickpockets, and a man who is well known to have been three times tried for, felony. Whether these individuals were, ur were not, gratuitously admitted—mid, whether the Po. lica Officers is attitudinise, were cousciess of their presence, we leave the public to deeide—s.that these characters were present, in the'Pit, we aver to be the fact. The numbers of the Opposition, were much less considerable than un former evenings. At this, the hired Prints express much surprise, be cause, as they inform us, it was the 50th, or Jo. nitre night, of which a suitable celebration in the Pit was expected to take place. In this, we ap prehend there is a mistake, as to-nsorrow will be the 50th night of the performances at this Theatre. The four first Acts of Erery Man in Ili: Hu mour, were heard withont other interruption than that of hissing; not so the last—many hissed, many coughed, some sneezed, and more laughed, so loudly, the Professor was doubtful whether it could be natural. Now a man under the influ ence of a cold, can avoid giving offence to this worthy Professor, by staying away; but what is to become of the Public, whip pay their money 2, expressly for the purpose of being excited Ai 'laughter, or to weeping 2 Who shill define the maximum of risibility, the muasure of tears, or the minimum of sobs? flow often have we seen I Johnstone,when collaring Edwin in: I ein J amps unable to proceed in his part, from au irresistible excitement to laughter. In that scene, he. has been both seen and heard to !ugh, at the moment that indignatio• ought to have been expressed. What is to become of the unhappy audience, if, by a laugh too loud, ur too long protracted—by tears um copious—by groans too deep--or, by sobs too numerous and loud—they should too late discover, that the talents of the performers have been successfully exerted, for nu other end than that of sending them to Bow-street. It will be a lung time before a British audience can be broaght to sit in a public "1 . Mitre like automatons. the voice of the opposition was not so loudly expressed last night, as on former evenings, the Public may rest assured that the spirit is undi. minished--it is not extinct, but steeped:. Atari we have not the smallest doubt, that Pars. dire Regained," will, ere many days elapse, again return to " Paradise Lost." The Private Buses were very thin, and the evening concluded with the customary groans, and other expressions of disapprobation. We have very recently been put in possession of copies of the affidavits on which was founded the tumorous motion of the Attorney-Geueral, for au information against These Mr. Clif fo riou rd, s do. anti o thers, fora conspiracy." cu cement% we shall offer to the public, whose ri. sibility will be excited, in no inconsiderable de gree, by a pervert of the farrao. n the subject of " e ha g v Conspiracy," w e heart whispered, that the accusers are very likely to change place, and become the accused. it is be lieved that Proprietor, Managers, Professors, and Ruffians, may, by possibility, be implicated in cer tain proceedings, more resembling a Conspiracy, than that *hick has already been announced by his Majesty's Attoroey.General. But of this report, 111 Ore hereafter. LAINCAS7ItUtif PLAN itl EDUCATION. Thit the present is an age of discoviry, we have numerous pivots ; but, amongst the various im. roseate* In the condition of the human race, it Is impossible to hesita it admitting, that the ex. raort;nary system of the truly respectable ar-sl philanthropic Mr. JOSEPH LANCASTER is pre.erni. ncntly entitled to the palm of superiority. In the present desolated state of Europe, perhaps no means so powerful as the diffusion of knowledge could be applied to rescue it from the miseries un. der which the inhabitants have for so many years groaned. By Mr. LANCtsTRR's method of teach. ing, a child of ten years of age can, with eatremit facility, he taught to read and write with fluency and correctness. Of the value and importance of Mr. LAscAs. ezerfiims, his MAJESTY'S conviction was SO complete, in the interview which he had with Mr. LANCASTER, that he presented him with 1001. at the same time signifying his intention to repeas the donation annually. His MAJESTY concluded an interview of an hour, by observing, that he looped to live to see the day when every child in Ids dominions, of a competent age, should be ca. peat, of reading the Bible. The QUEEN end PRIVESSES, the Prince of WALE', and several of the Royal Dukes, have also particularly patronized Mr. LANCASTER, and bestowed liberal donations for the promotion of his plan. His Royal Highness the Duke of KENT lately made a visit to the School, in St. George's Fields, and examined the plan and arrangement with minute attention. The patronage and bounty of his MAJESTY and his Fitfully, to this laudable' lend important institution, reflect equal honour on the Royal Patrons, and the benevolent and indefe. tigable author of a systew, which promises to dif. fuse the light of knowledge through the whole mass of mankind.
