We learn that an Independent privateer, about the 12th ultimo, made prize of two Spanish schooners hoot Rio de la Hach, balm.] to Carthagena, and that t.bey were ordered to Old Providence. Eatract of a Letter from 'over, dated Sunday last :—" Yesterday, upwards of two handfed seen and three hundred horses, belonging to the Royal ' Artillery Drivers, • landed from eighteen vessels, besides e vast quantity of baggage, field . pieces, ammunition waggons, &C.; in their march . through the town they cot a very formidable appear ance, and gave us some little idea of the preparation attending a battle. Came in to-day from Calais 27 • vessels, with several companies of the Royal Sap. , i pas and Miners, Royal Artillery, and the 2d Dre. 1 goon Guards, being upwards of eight hundred men and fire hundred horses ; these are part of , the first division of the Cavalry ; there are three trensport&in the Roads with men and horses, waiting 'for water into the harbour." A letter, dated November 6, 1818, from Mr. NORTHWOOD, an officer on board his Majesty's ship Hastings, from Bengal, stater, that the ship es petienced heavy gales between the Isle of France and the Cape of, Good Hope, during which they . (Ivied away the topniust, anti !prune several yards, and she was in consequence obliged to pot into the lilt of France and land three hundred tons of goods, whit]) were left behind.

Stit,—OnSittorrisy last, on taking up the C o urier i I was a little surprised to see a pompous an nouncenieut staling, that -on Mondsy nest they would have the pleasure to communicate to the Pub lic one of the most estraordinary discoveries which has beets made since the invention of piloting. 1 therefore waited till this day in anxious expectation of being made acquainted with some great and use ful discovery ; but judge, Sir, of my surpthe and disappointment, when, instead of being made co- quaiuted with some important and useful improve ment in the Arts or Scieoces, I had the mortification to peruse oue of the most silty and puerile attempts at satire thst ever found its way into any Public Joornal. As there is neither wit nor sense to be found in the whole paragraph, it would appear that the no. lice inserted in the Courier of Selerday, was a trick resorted to for the porpuse of creating a greater de. mend for that Paper on Monday than usual. It would he a mere waste of time to esamine this para. graph more particularly, the whole being the most ihsignificant and unintelligible jargon which has been attempted.to be passed off for wit, or employed to 611 op the columns of any London Newspaper, ea rept the Courier. In fact, it is worthy of the Paper which contains it ; and this boasted discovery may he of very great use to the Editor of the Courier, for " Time was when the brains were out the rll4ll die ;" but the brains of the Editor of this Paper would seem to be out, and yet the Paper goes on.— But perhaps the Courier has been compiled front this wonderful instrument of their invention for a number of years past ; at any rate the article in last night's Paper, stating the discovery to have been made by them, appears to hails been produced by the help of some such instrument, though it is one of the most ill•constructed and jsundiced mediums, fit only for the " green.iyed monster," that ever jealousy or political pique employed in evil hoar, to indulge its spleen, and gratify its fancy with the distortions of its own creation. NO EUII.ND TO UNDESERVED ABUSE. THEATRES. --.....-- DRURT•LANE.—Last night Romeo and Juliet was performed—Julia by Mrs. W. W IEST, for the first time. This Le. Cy's reception was fatroorahle and; fettering in the utmost degree. Mr. H. KumbLes' Romeo improves on repetition. The house was re spectably filled. Comte- oanDEN.—Hows's Tragedy of Jun/ Shore was lest night performed at this Theatre. The annousaernant of Mies O'NEILL for the UMW of the piece, Miss Some:tens:l for She character of Atkin, mid •Pricellootit's emppetsva nee In that of Gloucester, formed altogether attraction sefficient to fill the house to an overflow before the curtain rose. Mi's O'NEILL, as Jane Shore, has, no former occa sions, folly established her claim to excellence; but stimulated by the circumstance of playing in concert with Miss SostEnvlLLx, she, last night, put forth all her unrivalled powers, and was eminently suc cessful. Miss SOMERVILLE, in Alicia, was most favourably re..eived, and deservedly so. She gave a judicious and spirited picture of the re vengeful, jealous, designing female. Her per formance was, on the whole, highly creditable to her powers. Mr. Hoorn, as Gloucester, wee greeted ou his entree with the warmest welcome. The cheering of his friends, failed, however, I. inspire him. We regret we are obliged to declare our opi nion, judging from the specimen he last night afforded us, that he has not improved during his provincial tour. His performance, last night, with the excep tion of his intersiew with Jane Shore, was as tame and spiritless as ever we witnessed ; scarce one sen tence in ten which he uttered, reached the audience at a distance from tie Stage beyond the third or fourth row of the Pit. The gods in the Gallery, dia. appointed antodtspleased at this dumbshow exhibition, became vocifernos, calling on him to speak louder.— This produced from ethers cries rosily loud for si lence; and the uproar at length became so great during the scene in the third act, between Gloucester and Hastings, that nearly the whole of the scene passed over without a sinale word being heard: At length a Gentleman in the first row of the pit called to Mr. YOUNG, end, as we understood, requested an officer might be sent, or some other mode be adopted, to sea! store quiet in the galleries, and that the performance shoold he sus;,ended till silence *as obtained. Mr. YOUNG bowed and retired ; and on his return said— " LADIES AND GENTLENEN,—I have done as you commanded me, and immediate attentioe will be paid to your desires."—Silence being partially restored by this announcement, the performance proceeded. Mt. Yomso played Hastings with his usual ability. His quarrel with Alicia was escellent. MAcasacor played Shore, and made as much of it as the charac ter would admit of. The Ballet of ,Paul and Vir ginia followed, and went off extremely well. There is no truth in the report of POPE'S having entered into an engagement with ELLISTON, to per. at the 0!) mpic Theatre. Mrs. licnue' SIDDONS has returned to Edinburgh, from England, in improved health. It k calculated that Lord Mayor's day adds at least forty thousand pounds to the annual circulation Of money, within the civic bounds. Active preparations are making for opening the Operatical Campa;gn at the King's Theatre, in great style. The whole interior of the house his been newly painted, and the boxes decorated with taste ind elegance. The front entrance to the Haymarket is to be antler a grand porfico, supported by Co.. rinthian pillars, on the top of *hid* le to be placed fine statue of Apollo. .

The cloth being remoted, Mr. Bert, atter reading a letter from Mr. Denison, es. pressing regret at his onavoidsble absence, in a neat speech, lamented the absence of the Worthy Repre sentative. and concluded by proposing— Th. health of W.J.

LADY ROMILLY. :I • .~ " . On Wednesday morning last the remains of the Lady of Sir Samuel Rommilly arrived at the 801 l Hotel, Gloucester, on their way to Herefordshire. The plate on the coffin merely states her name to be Ann, her age forty-four ; that ahe was consort to Sir Samuel, and gives the time of her death. The following morning at sia o'clock, the hearse net off again for the family tomb. Lady Rontill)'s maiden name was Garhett, at was correctly stated in a former Paper ; her mother's name was not Wheeler, but Walsham. Her father removed from Birmingham to Court, in the county of Hereford, where his son, Colonel John Garbed ( who has recently taken the name of %Val- . sham),. now resides. Lady Hominy had two siiters, both surviving ; the one tnarrieal to John Whittaker, Esq. of Kinaham, in the seine county, brother ro' the Hight lion. Lady Roils ; the other to Wm. Davis, F, N . of Waive, Radnorshire, which latter Lady is mentioned as having been with her sister at the time of her dissolution. These Garbetts are con nected, very remotely, if at all, with an ancient family of the same name, residing in the name county, whose osi#i v al Han: , was . Gahott, now corrupted into Garnett, who were formerly of ACltstl.Btittlei, Its Alle county of- Salop, and shoe, ancestor, in the On of Henry baring rendered some essen ito klatimilian, Emperor of Germany, obtained the high distinction of using the Imperial Standard, as the armorial bearings of himself and his descendants. The attempt to rescue BONAPARTE, or effect his escape, is made a capital offence by the Act of the sGth of the present reign, chap. 22. from Which the following is en extract : " And he It farther enacted. That If any /lemon or winos, being a subject or subjs.( t. of or owing allele once to his Mnie.ty, his heirs or successors, shall revue or attempt to re.cue the .. a ld Napoleon Bonaparte, or .hall knowingly and wilfully Hill or assist in the escape of the mid Napoleon Bonaparte. ur in any 'meow to escape from such custody as nforewid. or from ally limits or bounds wherein be now es or at any time hereafter shall or may be detained and kept in custody as aforesaid, or in which he shall or may be suffered to go at large within the limitraf any island or country, territory .or place. or within the limits of any district or boom!, within any i•lunel or coon. try, territory or place, upon parole fir AL itbodt parole, all and every such person and persons ill offending, sh .II upon heing convimed thereof be adjudged guilty of felony. and *all suffer death as in cases of feluuy, without nenefit of Clergy."

The Viailan cia, privateer of Buenos Ayres, Captain Ross, sailed from Bantry Bay about the 2d ult. on a cruise. t_ Wit learn from an article, dated Ait-la-Chapelle, 'Nor. 3, that a 'moor prevailed of an intention to Appoint a Viceroy for the Southern Provinces of the Netherlands, and that the Duke of WELLINGTON was to have the appointment. Last Saturday, the right wing of the 39th Infantry, commanded by Colonel STUNT, frqui France,march ed into Lewes barracks, on its route to Portsmouth, it is supposed, to embark for Ireland. Between one and two bandied officers, nen-commissioned otficeri, and pritates,, of this regiment, were disc barged at Dover, where they landed. The left wing is on 1.1 march alone the coast on the Woe route. I)III¢AnFUL ACCIDLIT.—Last night a man drivinz a chaise cart along Wbiteehapel, near the end o' Somerset.street, drove over a fine boy seven years of age, of the name of Maloney (whose father is in the employ of 114 r. White, oilers'', in Whitechapel), and shocking to reline the wheels went over his heed and crushed it to piices. The man drove away at a most furious rate, and has not yet been fooud. Every esertlon is makhig by the Officers of the parish and Police to find him out. Green peas and atrarrberries, of a remarkably fine flavour, were gathered lest week in an open gar. den at Hereford ; and scores of roses are now daily brought to Covent-garden.mar krt.

LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Teeter(lay being Lord Mayer's Day, tie in•nerif• sine took place in the order deicribed in our Paper .4 Saturday. The late I.trl 31abor, the Lard Mayor Elect, *c. enikatt Aon -roam the I state barges et Queenhithe, and proceeded to trestmitister. Aifer the usual Ceremonies had been gone through, tht re turned by water to Blackfriars-bridze, where they disembarked, at d the precession being again formed; Aey Proceeded to Guildhall to dinner. The craved etas immense, and we lament to learn that several ar. tridents occurred, particularly at the end of Fleet. . d street, where two or three individuals were mach hurt. THE FkAST. The lintel Annual Fent was given by the Lord 'Mayor and Sheriffs at Guildhall. The company was *sunroof and respectable. According to •our ob ineation, no less than 1500 persons were present ; easel, as it pretty generally happens where custnut warrants the presence of the Ladles, they formed'a very decisive majority. This we could see armee cklarly from the improved illumination of the Halt, the two new gas chataleliers being equal in &tett. those at those at the Winter theitre4.--The spectacle was indeed rendered peruliatly through this additional illumination, and being front it enabled to set', we cannot hesitate to say, that the , city may venture to vie • with the west and of the town in the quantity and quality•of female beauty. About via nic:ock the Lord Mayor, followed by a long procession, entered the flail from the Cowbell Chamber. Among those by whom his Lordship was accompanied we noticed Lords Liverpool, Bathurst, and Sidinouth ; the American, neasiatr, end Baden Ambassadors; the leirvacellor of the Exchequer •, Chief Justice Abbot ; she ifice-Cbsticellor ; Ch ie f Justice Dallas ; Judgett Park, floiroyd, and Bortooghs ; M'ssrt. Long and .Cuurtenay. In ad.laticio In those personages, we re cognised in the root*, !sir John Sylvester ; Serjeente Vaughan and Firth; and the Common-Sergeant ; with-all the Aldermen, including Mesita. Wettlioste end Wood. . • After dinner the dinalitos s it, h e ld to hav Asp*. ,aye of loyally, were drank whh the gnat dasiolf.i 'trillions of respect anl regard. Upon proposing the healtn of the EuvapOlin Am atssrilorq, the Aushosaador of Baden, as we under- Stood, retorted thstrka in a neat speech, delivered iti she English language: ~ • r Tbistosst i7ttiowed by a toast prapOsed by the Lotto Maltose, after an impressive address. His Lordship said, that on .proposing tire Irealth of the Representative of that Ilitintt %Welt spnke the same language as England, end altich ackiitlialedged this coutory as its parent Stair, he could not (kola of meeting the most gracious reception. For however America might have been separated from EN/laud. still Englishmen must feel towards the Americans a great degree of affinity, awl that this feeling might serve to produce hettseen both the most cordial bar. many, must be the wish of all good men connected with• either station . ; therefore he concluded that ail who heard him would cordially drink the toast he earl shoat to propose. Iltintety,-1" tire American Ate: bssiador, end permanent peace between this country and America." Ti,is toast as &link' the semi end anivetteir nisiiitestations of cordiality. When Mr. Rusts, the American Anshasvedor, rose to return thanks, he seas saluted with accismationa of applause. This Gentleman, after espressicg hie settee 1 , 1 liar honour conferred upon his illation and up on hi.nself, by the manlier in which the toast bad been receited, observed, that it nail the interest of America to maintain peace anti harmony with Eng. hind ; but slitl more reciprocating the sentiment which the Merting had heard from the Lord Mayor, it was the feeling of America to pursue that course. That the sante feeling prevailed in this country he hoped and trusted, anti that the amicable connection be. tureen t•o coutitties so nearly allied would he cor dial and long.iiv.d was, he assured the Meeting, his most anxious wish. -( Applause.) . • The LORD MAYOR, its plOpuitittg the health of his Majesty's Ministers, observed, that the City was on this occasion honoured by the presence of four of those Slinisitr:. What service those Nlioisters had already rendered to• the country, was sufficiently knowis to every one who heard him; and what Ser. vice they 1/•11 tho dtapnaitio/i Alld capacity of still far ther rendering, could not be doubted ; therefore he eslcuisto.i upon the unanimous and cordial receptiou 0 1 the km t which be submitted. After the tout oas drank, with three time, three, Lord LIVLRP.IOI. rose to return thanks on the part of himself and his Colleagues. In art Adatinistras lion, of no short duration, end marked with events of the utmost itoporiance to this cor:try, as well es to Europe generally, it was, he said, the object, as it was the dirty, of his Majesty's Miahrters, to cost. Cult the best interests of their coveter, and portico. larly those of that great Citr, which was the Capital of the Britioh Empire—Opplausts )—llis Colleagues partook with him of the pleasure which the approba. (ion of this great City was calculated to produce, and he trusted wiry would continue to deserts that sp. probation. The health* of the late Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress followed, which were appropriately received. The LORD MAYOR, aofter panegyrizing the tidier. nutrition of justice in• this errantry, proposed the ,health of• tLe4udges, which was drank with three times three, end .., • Chief Justice Ansdr observed, that on his part, mud that of his brother °Jerilyn, he returned thanks .fir the nomr conferred upon them. • her., their lordships retired. • We recur ked that-the political tossts,and especially that with regard te-Ministers, was not propoael until nine o'clock, when nearly five.sisths of rte coma parry, lacludiwg all the Ladies, had retired free the 1ia.1.. • The diststeriead the manner In which it was server' sip, deserve greet praise, sod this praise is, we on. derstand, to be divided bet ween the Committee who had the management of the feast, mad the Proprietors of the Freemihotio' Tavern, by whom it was pro. , sided, together with wines of the best quality.
