s te eey, and the profoundest igoorance of the causes of this, exist in all the public offices. But it is supposed, that two points of difference have arisen in the Congress, which oblige Great Britain to assume an attitude of power and command. The first i s that which is of the most vital importance to this country, our maritime rights—the second is, Belgium. These two points, it is now well known at Vienna, were the principal !objects contained in Prince TALLETRAND'S much talked of note; and it is said, that the Emperor ALEXANI)ER is known to favour the kdeas of France on that subject, founded, as they are 'sail to he, on the pretensions which ii is notorious the Empress CATHARINE always declared herself fa- Tourable to.—That subtle and profotind politican, TALLETRAND, in thus bringing forward the opinions of the grist CAT,ithattut t by whom the Emperor ALEXANIER is :known to be desirous of modelling his own conducts. ie dilly a master-stroke which might have been loatircettli.—On the second, Bel gium, Administratioastimid committed—they made the Prime of Oa 1,162 assume a new title, which it has Leen carefully Me object of the Allied Poteers not yet to recognise; and it would not be wonderful, if mach difficulty was to arise from our having set up a Prince, whom all the Continental Powers know to be dour own creation ; and, no doubt, TALLEY RAND wbo%d argue, that Ifollatirl, Belgium, and the ports of the Pay* ass, would be murk more danger ous to the independence ni Europe in the hands of a Prince notoriously dependent on England (already the object of extreme jealousy from her naval pre penderenoe), than in the possession of any of the great Continental Poss'ers,l . even,of France herself! EIRCUTIOM I 7 This morning Thomas Sham for Kentish Town, suffered the awful sentence of the , law opposite the Debtors' Door, at Newgate, in the presence of a great concourse of spectators. The exhortations of his father, and the Rev. Mr. Stennet, a Dissenting Clergyman, who were per. mitted to sit up with him in his cell- all night y and the near approach of death, at last brought this hardened and unhappy man to a true sense of his guilt and situation ; and a short time before he was turned off, he confessed himself guilty of the crime laid to his charge; admitted the evidence adduced on the prosecution was perfectly correct, and expressed his contrition for the reprobate coa -1 duct he had shown to the Court. Ile was not tin• lently agitated, but his contrition appeared sincere. 1 H e begged his father's forgiveness, and that of all his friends; took on affectionate leave of his weep ing parent and the Clergyman, and met his fate as we have described. Before he was completely dead, ?several decent looking persons ascended the scaffold, to have the benefit of being rubbed 'ids the hand of !a murderer. Sharpe's parents ire repectable. We shotll to morrow give some particulars of the life of this vic tim of depravity. NAVAL INTEL LIG IS NCE.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. 7 " 7 1..A1 The Tragedy of Julius Cater was performed at this Theatre nn Saturday night. and well received by a very numerous audience. IL once, as may be sup posed, wss the grand magnet of attraction, though 'from Of* opplisMe wide& ifossap received, and in deeil merited, * sigabt- ass uttidta treed closely at his howls. Kestaut's appearance, however, is so completely Roman; as well from the dignity' of his figure and deportment, as from the classical contour of his head and face, that in such cha racters as Undies, Corielanus, &c. he defies corn petition. YounG, though uniformly an excellent performer, seldom reaches the towering heights at tained by his great rival—he never displeases, almost always delights, but seldom electrifies—yet he dis puted with great ability, and sometimes with alter. nate success, the palm even with Koine. In our eye be did not lank Cassius so well as he played it, for the disproportion of age was on the wrong side— Cassius at this time being an old and veteran soldier —his head too had a mean appearance, owing to the straightness of his cropped hair, and was any thing but Roman, especially from its being contrasted with K gimes ; a slight inspection of Roman coins will, we are assured, convince Mt. Yousta of the propriety of this remark. • We cannot but think that Messrs. KEMSLR and YOUNG might change cha racters with some advantage to the piece; let this L be as it will, they are " par nobile fr atrum, " and may safely challenge any two performers in the kingdOm. We cannot, with many of our contem poraries, deny the possession of some talent to Mr. CurfwaY ; he is, doubtless, very far short of perfection; but he delivered the funeral oration with a feeling and spirit which the audience felt and applauded—bat', his over-tall and slender figure ill comports with the rough and jovial soldier Antony, who was much such another as Cassius. Indeed we think that the cha racter of Antony has (with the nceptidn of the late Mr. Cdoaa) been much misunderstood, especially by C. KCWILE, who, because he was brother to Joni' li - Eaust.,g, thought that Antony must be brother to Brutes, and gave a studied imitation of his philo. sophic adversary, instead.of the popular and self-taught eloquence of a soldier bred in camps. We were-by no means satisfied with EGERTON in the part of hilly: Cesar—his beetle brows and black bushy head of hair might do well enough for Pluto or Wet Tyler; bat they gave us a very inadequate idea of the laurelled end nearly bald heed of the great Julius. We wontlerthat the classical acumen of Kissing has not discoveved and obviated this manifest impropriety; neither will his cumbrous step and dull moliotony ac cord with the demeanour of Cceser, second in eloquence to none but Cicero, and one of.the most polished gen tlemen of his age. Some of the conspirators, instead of having " leariand hungry looks," appeared as if they had just come from a plentiful supper in the " hail of Lucultus." On the whole, however, the Tragedy was admirably got up, and will, doubtless, meet with increased approbation. the,tradesmen's bills of the Royal Household are 4Nll9Boed to be unusually heavy for the last half year, ooling the 10th inst., in consequence of a late visit. r•-:The extraordinary expences in only one depart. meth amount to about 39,0001.
