" ANDREW HOFFER, Schomberg, Oct. 29. Commander in Chief of the Tyrol." ANDREW HOFFER TO GRNEEAL DEDOET. " His Majesty the Viceroy or Iratm hay* delgaed to give the 1) panties of Postertbal the assurance that if all the Tyrolese would lay down their arms, they would be treat ed in the most indulgent manner: that all ofl'eners shall be pardoned and hrrg•itten, and no per-on pre , ecnted, the under signed has not hc.it•eted to give to that assurance entire be lief, and to order all the troops occupying the different posts to disband and return home. " " The undrriigned most humbly begs your Excellency to treat all the Tyrol people with indultruce and benevoleisce, and to draw a veil over the past.-10 this gee, the under signed assures your Excellency, that sot the Pleat bares shall be done to any of your soldiers. " However. to avoid all disorder. it may be a. well if the entrance of your trootri were delayed fur some days, to give the Tyruleans time to return home. " hi once Inure recuniosending the people of the T‘rui to year Excellency's benevolence, the undersigned has the ho nour to be, WI death, yours, &c. " ANDREW HOFFER." Notwithstanding, however, these letters from Iforyze, we find that the Tyrolese attacked on the 7th a column of Bavarian troops, on their march to Steluach. - MONITEURS and other Paris Journals to the 21st, and Dutch Papers to the 23d, were also received last night—extracts from which will be found in a subsepent column. Tuz resiksclecs of Ministers shews that the )linistryis not yet definitively established. Marquis ct.i.xst.tv is indefatigable in his visits, 'which Ore rise to various rumours. The re-esta fitishtnent of his luckless friend, CA Pr Pll I is said to be very near his heart, and, for that Et. Minister, the Admiralty is reported to have been suggeeted. Another rumour in cir. ciliation is, a project of the Marquis for an ex. tended Administration, respecting which, Lord Gassivt Luc is to be more than consulted by Mr. Panel-VAL. We have little pleasure, and fed even less interest, its the event of this scramble for place and power. The following is an extract uf a letter from Am. sterchm, dated Nov. 20 " In the beginning: of ir tt mlnth, the King intends to visit , the lisaiperor NA en t Lott at Paris, and preparatiaus are tom :ries; for that purpose.

The Court-Martial, now sitting at Chelsea Hospital, of which General CA RTWRIGHT is President, is for the trial of Lieutenants ED. W A SDI, JENTERIES, and ARNOLD of the 13th Licht Dragoons, on a charge preferred against them by Captain LAWRENCE, of the same re giment. The charge is fur nnufficor and engen. tkmanlike conduct, by breaking several limps, and a window, mid making a noise in the bar racks at Hounslow, after the watch was set, on the night of the 19th of October, contrary to good discipline, and a regimental order issued by Lientenant.Colonel Than, on the 14th of September. The gravamen of the charge against Lieutenant EDWAIt DS is, that he being orderly Officer of the day, assisted in, or permitted this conduct on the parts of Lieutenants JEFFRTES and Auxin-a. The Court were this morning tavcapWl in examining the witnesses on the part of the Pro. 'motion, which was expected to close before the Court rose. This day the defence of the Officers accused will be gone into, and the whole is ex. petted to be concluded by Wednesday. CLtrronD r. Bit usoos.---In the Conn of Com. moo Pleas, on Saturday, Mr. Serjenot SIitPUERD I on the part of the Defendant, moved that this trial, which was fixed far to-morrow, should be postponed for one day, but Sir JAwca MA NUIZLD thought, as it had been fined, it should be tried at the time appointed.

The first victim to the watch house manceuvre was brought for gemination in the forenoon of Saturday. This examination was conducted with a " Keen cocouoter of the wits." The licensed aimed his namo to be Jas. Thomas, and that he hail lived in Argyle-street, bat did net deem it necessary to particularize his preseat resi dence, conceiving ti►e investigation of the calm of his having been deprived of liberty, for a • whole night, of more immediate importance. Mr. GRAHAM, however, requested him aot to considet himself in the Pit of the Theatre. The Clerk having registered the usme of tho prisoner, and some portion of the conversation, The Public Accuser, Professor Brandon, chart. cd Mr. Thomas with hooting r illssiag, brandishing a stick, speaking insultingly to the Boars, wear. ing 0. P. I. (runt and a Placard at the back of his bat. To these offences he had superaddod that dolma. clog on the benches, which had the effect of increasing the distorbance in the House, during the fourth act of the Play on Friday evening.— By the command of the Professor, the Traps had, fur these multiplied offences, grntobeil Mr. Themes. " How ) " said the accused to the Professor, " did you knew that 1 was hissing or hooting,— the noise its the house being at that time so vie. lent ?"—" By your motions,—your bps moved and your mouth opened, and you seemed to be straining cud bawling ; and, you pointed at the Bola with your fingers so—(pointing at the Me. gistrate).—Hesides, you stood in a position that made me certain of %hat you were about." " Do you swear that 1 insulted the cotnpatty in the Boxes ?"..." To be sure, you were talking to them, and bawling all the time 1 speak of." " How do you know whit I utid; did you hear 'me ?"-.." No; but I am certain, from pier man ner, that you were insulting the Boxes. I have nu doubt of it." " Well, but as you did not hear my words, contd you see them Oh ! stuW! I was sure of what you were about." The Professor found it inconvenient to continue this pleasant dialogue, and retired—upon which William Smith, an Officer, stated, that by the order of the Professor, he went into the Pit—and there was a great disturbance in the 4th Act. The Prisoner was standing upon two seats, and he seized and carried him of. William Gatliffe, of Duke.street, St. James's (profession !tut stated), saw the Prisoner very active in the Pit ; he eshihited ',we're' placards, brandishing a stick, and increasing the noise and tumult, which were very great. Whey► this willing witness was asked at wbat time liesaw this outrageous conduct, he answered en Monday night. He was directed to retire. Mr. Thomas admitted the wearing the O. P. and placard in his hat, I►ut denied brandishlog Me stick, with an intention to assault any pencil, and also denied having been at the Theatre on Monday. Mr. GRAHAM directed him to find bail, and very gaud bail too. Mr. Thomas war then taken as ay, and, as we understood, exprelhed his determination not to give bail, but tomakeapplieation to a Judge on a Habeas. Corpus. We shall be most happy if Mr. Thomas has recourse to this mode of prate. dna', which is, in truth, the remedy that ought to have been resorted to in the first instance, by the greater part of those who have been held to bail. The evidence of Professor firandon, and Smith the Officer, as our Readers will perceive, justifies our observations in Tut STATLIMAN of Saturday on the misrepresentation of The Times. Twit coascleon may now be considered to have joined the honourable band of daily pensioners in the service of the Managers. To what brilliant genius the merit of the watch. house manoeuvre—of right belongs—we have nut yet heard. Bow.street, is in raptures il l the lucky thought. That the author of these emir tac. tics merits exaltation above his fellows, we rel. dily admit, and should be among the first, to teems. mend. But happy as at first sight this thought may appear, it is possible that the Managers may in this, as in so many preceding instances, be " reckoning u:ithout their host." For the effect of this fresh manoeuvre against the liberty of the subject, has be.•n precisely what might have been anticipated,—Universal exasperation. The friends of the Managers, as well as their opponents, unite in one common sentiment of feeling ; and the Managers will too late find that, of all the ma neeierres, this will prove the most fatal to their cha. rimers in the estimation of the public. When we see the abuse of the word conspiracy by the application of it to the public, we are more astonished at the absurdity than at the impudence of the accusation. Had the opposition conspired,' had they even entertained a thought of conspiracy, could the united efforts of the miscreants, by whom they have been so outraged, ha►e drugged one person from the Pit ? It is only by reason of the Public nat haring conspired together, that de outrages against the people have been so lung committed with impunity. This consideration must be, to every dispassionate man, a conclusive argument against the existence of a conspiracy. We have very lately heard it said, and that from the highest authority, that the " accomplishment of teen a legal object, by illegal means, ie mot to be endured." Now laying aside the consideration of the merits of the question, are the means to which the Pro prietors and their Agents have resorted, and which they are even now adopting, legal, warrantable, or justifiable, in any Court, either of Law or COnscionce?—Cla SATURDAY, the Brother of the late Game Chicken, for the lint time, came into the Pit of the Theatre. That he was introduced for the sole purpose of heating the opposition, his expressions on the oc. casion leave xa doubt. This new Performer, although now recorded as one of the 66 Gentle. stew," did not tanks his debut—there was co con venient oppostuitity for dis playing his abilities in the line of character that he has undertaken to support. not only thla Individual ) bet many others, seek as the futiodery.men, carpenters, and other me chauics, would take advice, we should seriously recommeod them to abstain from leading them. selves to so brutal an occupation as that of at. tacking their felloe.roontrymee. It Is impossible that these Individuals can have reflected - on either the principles ur the effect of their conduct; Thu, with their families, who feel the weight and oppression of the Tates so severely, the very men who arc weekly shifting from one abscises fudging to another, to avoid the operation of the Income Tot, and who arc daily murmuring against oppression, are hiring them. selves, like foreign Bravoes, for money, to indict on their countrymen oppression and outrage of every doscriptiou I I ! They cannot once hare reflected on the causes of the disapprobation estpressod by the public lit the Theatre—.the principal of which are, first, ,Sitp eaststrvctiso of privileged apartments in the Theatre, from which the people are excluded—. and nett, that for the ease and convenience of the privileged persona, the accommodation and conve. silence of the rest of the H.iuse are sacrificed, Formerly, any man, however humble his situa tion, it decently habitod, sad whose deportment we. Inoffensive, might have sat on the very spot where the night before !bogie( of England had sat. 'ChM is known to have been the pride and glory of many [ninon* of even mechanical steels pa ions. fhe very people then,who ate interested in opposing • he encroachments of wealth and power, are so stupid as to assist in heating such of their felluw.coun , tryinen Into submission, who have the virtue and courage to resist the hateful innovation. Let every honest man, who has thus lent himself, perhaps for want of reelection, think upon the subject.._ and haring so thought, let him withdraw hies elf from a service in which, if he has a charecter to lose...if it be at all worth keeping...every night that he appears in the Pit of Covent Garden, will only tend to destroy, in the opinion of every ho. nest man. THE &GUSH FLEET _ as performed, during the two first Ads, with. out the slightest interruption. lit the third act there was hissing. Subsequent to that period of the performance, the interruptions were frequent, so that the remainder of the piece was ouly heard at intervals. The Widotr's Choke, which fol. lowed, was performed amidst an increase of It wit( not incesiant, but such as effectually to de. stray the piece. The performers in the Pit seve., ral times joined in burlestining the airs on the stage with a happier coincidence of tune than night have been expected. Tiw curtain finally drilla arnWit a much greater " roar" than has been for sefrrel elehts., The uspal shouts and groans were pertirmal, and the Noose was clearing very fait. when Perry the fireman, entering the Pit with his !anthem, a dispute took place, which threatened to terminate in hostilities, but the parties at length erperated. la the Pit only one crab on niede.fhe party was described by some as a rimer, owl by ethers as a character known to the Police.
