y-' ' - STATESMAN. city. If we add the stringers who continue to ar. f ire, and thOse who are expected, especially from 'England, it is certain that Brussels will be very brilliant. _ _ The fortresses of Marienborg and Philippeville, which with their territory are ceded to the Nether lands, though they have been very warmly attacked, have happily not sustained much damage, and their f o rtifications are in the.best condition : only a few houses in the interior of the town ha►e been injured by the bombardment. It is affirmed that Mensal' and Charlcmont are to be occupied by the Prussian troops on the 10th November. 'Palma iv expected here this week to perform a few times. It is supposed he will soon after leave the s tage and go to live on his estate. VIENNII, OCT. 18.—It is affirmed, that by a Con vention concluded between our Court and the King o f t he Netherlands, this Monarch engages to dis charge the bonds of the Netherlands, which were r educed in 1811, and which were still a bootless upon A us t r ia. This measere strikes off at once about sixty millions of the public debt, and esonerstes Austria from its engagements to the holders of those bonds. This news has mulled a rise in the paper currency, and it is hoped it will further improve. The gratuity given by the Emperor to the Officers of the Austrian Army, is said to amount to silt mil lions. A stroll; representation has been made to Govern. merit during the present week, relative to the ap. Fr srance of approaching insurrection in a part of lrehind hitherto free from nocturnal disturbances ; and we understand it was stated in reply by the Se cretary of State, that 10 regiments would reach Ire land witliuut delay. We hear that several agents are in town from America and from Rus4a, engaging the ablest of the seamen who have lately been disbanded. Batusrom, Nov. I.—Several respectable French fAinilies are now daily arriving from France, which gives rise to the fears of a new re-action on the ere of commencing in that country. The promenades on the Steyne and Marine, have yesterday and this morning displayed a pleasing contrast between the novelty of the costume of the Parisian belles and the unadorned simplicity in the dress of our fair coun trywomen. The rage of Domes and the equinoxial tempests having subsided into fine weather our fa shionables participate in the enjoyments of bathing and pedestrian excursions. This morning our fishermen were enabled to bring in their boats well freighted with the treasures of the deep, and with such a plentiful supply of herrings that they are retailed at 24 for a shilling. SrORTING.—On Monday a fine slog was thrown off on our race coarse, who commenced running in escellent style alone the Downs, and after a severe pursuit of 10 miles was overtaken by the hounds sooner than was espected, which was owing to so numerous a field of sportsmen encircling and mobbing the stag In his rapid progress over an extensive and open country. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India-house, when Captain T. Wmatssos was sworn into the command of the Cumberland, des tined to Bombay and China. 011 Saturday last, at Louth, a person of the name of Armstrong Will taken into custody for marrying a Miss Etheringhans the preceding Monday, he having a site living, at the same time within a few miles of that place.

DRURY-LAWS THEATRE.—List night Miss Mutt, appeared for the second time in Polly, and she re ceived from an audience most numerous and attentive, the warmest approbation. We have certainly wit nessed no performance so uniformly good, as this young lady's representation of this character ; for we sca►cely recollect another instance where vocal power was so happily combined with graceful, ap propriate, and spirited acting. Miss NASH was evidently oppressed by a cold ; but still she gave such proofs of the melody of her voice, and of the sensi bility ..ith which she expresses the tones of tender ness, as to prove that when• in full possession of her ; natural organ, she will produce the finest effects of the musical art, those of sympathy and emotion. This esquisite talent was admirably displayed in the few notes in the taunting duet with Lucy; where the contrast between the flippant termagant and the affec- tionate wife, was displayed with a felicity that charm ed every ear, and it was universally encored. Miss }CELL I'', share in th►e merit was fully equal to the other ; for she touched the true key of Lucy's pas sion, and in every attitude and gesture gave as the picture of a deluded vixen, bred' in a gaol, but whose vehemence was not strained to vulgarity. Th. song , of 46 Cease your Funning•" was also encored, and we were delighted to hear Miss NASH vary her cadences with skill and taste. Both she and Mr. CooKE, however, ought to recollect, that one of the purposes of this Opera, in its original, was to ridicule the extraysgance of the Italian school, by exhibiting the simplicity of the English hailed, and also to show how much more efficaciously the sym pathies of an audience may be aroused by nature than by art. Mr. Cooaa does net indulge much in decoration in Macheasis, and. we are sure that his good sense will tell him he ought to abstain from it altogether.—We cannot conclude this short article without noticing the scene between Mr. MUNDIEN and Mr. DOWTON, which for comic humour, force, and effect, is, perhaps, not to ►e paralleled _cm the stage. After the Opera the laughable Entertainment of the Merry Mourners was received with uni►ersal applause. At the late Lincolnshire stuff hail, which was in stituted for the encouragement of that manufacture, most of the ladies wore muslin:; this is not so mach unlike the Barbers, who went to St. James's some years ago, to petition his MAJESTY do wear a wig, and most of them actually appeared with their own 'hair dressed sod powdered. -r~ The Iphigen of lamed at For of Saud:ly for tl be sad specie to t Extract fro, o- June 12, 181 quisition to 14 tia sod Comn.aud troops as he cowry, whit is very destr the consequence, re• regiment from And tiir A.
