Taz insaniti of NAPOLEON has at last sub- sided, even in the London Newspapers. It can- not but appear extraordinary to tutu of refioction, that a reason so absurd should have been obsti nately maintained for many weeks, as the only solution of dui 1 sc)e n ctrable mystery, which, even yet, hangs nver . tise affairs of .Ccrotany. N A rOLEON iS flow is Nth, *there he arrived on the e2Gth of last month. .—sife passed through Munich on the 23d. lss another part of our Paper will be found two 'dueness:tits of extraordinary late/wt.—an Address of the A steu-CnANCIILLOR to the Senate, Report from the French Minister at War to the EMPEROR. The biter paper is dated the 15th of September. Were it not tit a Peace be. tween F rance and Austria has been subequently i • pigned, inferences hostile to Mt event might un. questionably have been drawn. The efforts of England. in scndiag et the same point of time three distinct Expeditions against Spain, Holland, and Sicily, are manifestly exaggerated—with a view to display the magnitude of the ob. stades( to be surmounted by the French Emperor., It is also clear, that so late as the 15th of Sep tembea, there was no expectation of the French Army evacuating Germany. The anxiety of NApaLuom to ig spare his (reaps from fatigue," is perfectly novel. When IsiAeoccom entered Spain, he was preceded by the troops who had fought at Eylau and at Friedland.—Troops who had undergone the se. verity of a Polish willter—yet from the ganks of the Niemen those very troop; trcts tralispyrteil to the Pyr'etsecs with unexampled rapidity, rcgard ley of ,fatigue. There is another passage in this document, which also cons niands our attention :—.After ,speaking of a previous determin3tion to assemble in the interior of Fr.mre, whatever might be the complexion of affairs, the youth of France, it is added, that " The temporary dereliction of this " systems would be productive of some danger to " the Empire, 4c." How is this to be construed, when coupled with the final determination of not sending any rein. forcements to Spain, but such as are necessary to fill up tic vacancies in the army already there Peace with Germany has however taken away the necessity of pressing the obnoxious measure of conscription—and the resentment of the relations of those conscripts who have fallen, will now be absorbed ;n the triumph of those who may return to France—covered (of course) with glory. A strong reinforcement is to be sent immedi ately to Waleheren. Six reriments of infantry are under orders of embarkation for ' ,at The army under the command of laord - ‘VEL LI NO.

The " Paradise Regained," announced last week, is the feeble 66 Press" and " Globe." to us, last night, appeared " Paradise lost," and that, irretrievesbly. 'llse mutinous " insubordination" of the people is so far from being subdued,*that it has again burst forth with a violence of disap probation not inferior to any that has recently been displayed. The number of those who wore the letters 0. P., the insignia of the opposition, in their hats, was very considerable—they wero conspicuous in every part of the House. To the admission of such Gentlemen as wore these" initiab hateful," some hesitation was observable at the doors; but, on payment of the price of admission, they were. passed, and great numbers entered the House with those letters displayed on their hats—not in di miuutive leaden letters, but in large letters of four inches length, cut out of card paper. The Pit was so well packed, that it was diffi cult, even at whole price, to obtain a scat. The Boxes displayed a !thew of company, among which were the visual Orderlys. There was, however, in Bow-street, an unusual bravado of hackney coaches. This, we conclude to be ►he consequence of a determination to shew the Public what can be done. We, however, counted seven carriages, without numbers—and 28 hacks. Near the close of the second act of Every Man in his Humour, the cracked sou►►d of a peony trumpet roused the audience from the apathy with which they had, until that time, viewed the per furo►anee,—from that moment, it was inter rupted by the decided disapprobation of the com pany. In the third act, the noise was such as to render the Performers on the stage inatitli i ► ble--and at the commencement of the foul th, the uproar increased, moil the house was in volved in one general howl of discordant sounds. Penny trumpets were the favourite instruments of disapprobation ; the whistles and catcalls were not idle; and the hisses, groans, an►d shouts of the company were only relieved at intervals by the performance of " God sure the King," is% the Pit—in which part of the House, although to ap pearance jutPcionsly packed, the Oppositionists, to our great surprise, were more numerous than the Orderly:. In fart, in the Opposition were included several n ho had come in with Pit orders, purchased under the Pia..-:as, at two shillings each. Of this we heard of several instances ; and ore we sate. A Jew had offered a double Pit order to two Gentlemen, who, suspecting forgery, presented the order at the door be ' furc they paid the young Israelite. The order was received. The opposition continued with un abated vigour during the remainder of the per formances; amid of the music of Oscar and Mel. 'ilia, we apprehend •ery few notes were heard by any part of the House. Placards again reared their heads without dread —or opposition. Amongt them were the follow ing : There was no . fizhting, and very few disputes. " A Nose! A Nose!" (the cunt term for a spy, or an officer), bring vociferated in the Pit by a Gentleman, who found himself watched— " That's the fellow who swore againot me lace Wednesday," exclaimed a voice, and out went the " Nose," neck and heels...." That's Richard Wood,the blacksmith, who struck me," exclaim ed another voice, and out sneaked this hired Knight of the Anril, acco-npanied by a set of Noses." The temper of the Pat wag, in fact, such, that any attempt at coercion would have met with much resistance. In the course of the evening " A Currant), a CLIFFORD, for ever!" was repeatedly shunted from different parts of the house. Mr. Ct.iFFirltD was himself present in the Pit. Three hums for CLIFFORD, and three buzzes for Mr. RIDLEY, were given by the Pit, in which the Galleries and many persons in the Bores joined. Three hunus followed fur The Morning Chro. nick. Three for The Pak:man—and, Three—Groans fur the poor, old, Post. The Company remained, in every part of the House, lone after the performances closed ; God Save the King and Rule Britannia, concluded the amusements of the evening. The stilluess of ' 6 Paradise re...aimed" we con ectured to be that which 6 ' prece ded the storm" —our conjecture was last night confirmed—the storm of indignation was violent and general. —The Boxes and both the Galleries, loudly joined in the mutinous "insubordination" of the Pit—the stov:n of public resentment and indignation is increasing, nor will it be allayed until the Pricer are reduced, and the Private Boxer laid open to the public, unrestrained ac. eess, of the PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. The Proprietors may safely anticipate an acquiescence in whatever public price they may choose to affix tto what- are wow the Private Boxes —but, confident we are, that the reduction to old prices will not, alone, satisfy the people their tits- Ilpprubatioes, we ?entire to predict, will never until all pr./racks and prlvikged Boxes, are abolished at event.garden Theatre. SOLILOQUY. To yield, or not to yield ? that is the question. Whether %were wiser, in our ears to sutler The noise and uproar of th' outrageous mob ; Or, bear no longer arms against these trouhles, • Rut by composing end them?

BROWN ) VOBB, 4.v0 CO. BANKERS. To 'ME EDITOR OF nil: ST iMAN. Stn—l request the favour of von to insert the following statement, the necessity for which, ha, arisen from a mistake (inadvertently doubtless) in The ?inner of this day. Being appointed Treasurer for the " Subscrip tion, for the assistance of persons con4idered as unjustly prosecuted by the Proprietors 'and Ma nager of Covent-garden Theatre," I thought it my duty, to place the monies receives! by me in the hands of a Banker; and accordingly applied to T. Brown, Esq. of the house of Brown, Cobb. and Co. of Lombard-street, to open an account for that purpose. Mr. Brown expressed his acquies cence in my proposal, and it was agreed between us, that an account should be opened in nog name, to the credit of which, saint sobscriptiuns as might be tendered, at the house of Brown, Cobb, and Co. should be paced. In consequence of this conversation, I directed the names of Mcssrs. Brawn, Cobb, and Co. to be inserted in the Advertisement, but was greatly surprised, when, on Monday morning last, I wei.: to pay iu the balance in my hands, as Treasuret, to learn from Mr. Col,l),his high displeasure, at M. Brown's having assented to tha insertion of tht. mines of Brown, Cobb, and Co. without the pre. ivi ou s approbation of Mr. Cobb, aod the other partners ul the Firm. The conversation, which eras at first somewhat warm, termin.vcd, in the positive refusal of Mr. Cobb to open emu account connected with that Subscription. I accordingly altered the advertisement, omitting the names of Brown, Cobb, and Co. and it was inserted in Thr Statesman of that evenint, with that omission : in The Morning Chronicle also, of this day, the I names of Brown, Cobh, and Co. tiro omitted ; but, by some inadvertency, they are nal omitted in The Times. About four o'clock this afternoon I received the following hotter • (COPY.) " We are aatborized to Mate. that the insertion of Brown. Cobb and Co. as Receivers of Subscrip;ions for the Defence of Persons on ler Pro4eetitionfor ri3tna, behaviour in Covent Garden Theatre, originated in ►nistake.

The Tintr.f, Statesman, Morning flared, .110raieg Chro nicle. On this extraordinary letter, I shall but briefly observe—that Messrs. Brown, Cobb, and Cu. assume the liberty of slating, the Subscription to be, " fur the Defence of Persons under PrOSCCII. don for riotous behaviour."—Now, Sir, the words of the Advertisement are " Sub4criptiuns for the assistance of Persons on:chic:red as un illally prosecuted, by the Proprirturs and Mans. gem" By what authority, Messrs. Brown, Cobb, eod Co. assume that liberty, lam at a loss to dii cover ; as well might :Messrs. Brown, CA!), and Cu. call the indictments riotous, as those unjustly pr o ,rroPoi individuals, who, by the rtsjection of such optimism:tits by the Gram] Jury, have been declared innocent of Lliu charge of rioting. Messrs. Brown, Cobb, and Cu. were requegted to become the Guardians of this properly, minis. terially, as mere Bankers, unconnected with the object, or appropriation, of the money. As the Subscription for Miss Traylor hail been pi i iilsely received at the house of Brown, Cobh, and Co. I thought those Gentlemen proper Depositories of this Subscription. If, however, Messrs. Brown, Cobb, and Co. are ashamed of becoming Deposio, teries of a Subscription, having for its object the Vindication of the Rights and Liberties of the Stehject—it was by no means nrremmary that those Gentlemen should have taken upon themselves to pronounce the guilt, or innocence, of the indivi. duals fur whose embimtance the Subscription has been raised, and of whom, Thente.seren out of Forly.one, have already been declared Innocent, by a Jury of their Countrytneu.
