SERIOUS DIS7'UItBAIOE AT DIEPPE. BILIGIITON, OCT. 16.—The Neptune packet, wish many passtngers, came in from Dieppe this morning. This vessel brings intelligence of a serious disturbaiire having taken place at Dieppe, in the afternoon of yesterday, between some of the British military sta tioned there, and a numerous party of the inhabi tants. The soldiers are stated to have been in. suited in the grossest manner, and were at leng►h attacked with kni►es, when many severe wounds Were received, some of which, it is feared, will prove mortal. The military (the I lth hussars, we understand) were, according to the regulation of their Commander, when off duty, without their side. arms, or a dreadful retaliation might have ensued.— The soldiers complain that they are not safe in pub. lit unarmed, and are anxious to have the means of de fending themselves, should circumstances again ren der it necessary. The riot was not quelled until the military, generally, had been called out ; but the part was tolerably tranquil when the Neptune sailed last night. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Jays night Mrs. MARDYN appeared in a new cha racter —that of AP.ina Mandeville, in REYNOLDS' Comedy of The Will. This was the part in which Mr , . 11ARDYN, w' are informed, made her debut on the Dublin stage, and in which she has always been popular with the Irish audience. Albina Man.' d e mi e I s an inanee::t, lively, spirited girl, brought at by a dishonest Governess in the firm belief that her father lead deserted her, and that it was for his barbarous neglect of his child, he had been disinherit ed by her grandfather, who bad left her heiress to his entire fortune. The same virtuous duenua—hilrs. Rigid, destines the hand of Albino for Mr. Villas, under an agreement that they should divide her for tune—but Verde's has too much natural honour not to feel a repugnance to this partition treats ; in a fit of drunken penitence he reveals the whole of it to NirSulomon cynic, a frieite and neighbour of the family. Mrs. Rigid is brought to public shame, and Athlete delivered by her father him:elf to //mord, the object of her affection. The play has of late years been aweetrlwmatted—saaler we believe, slime Mrs. Jottn.tn's retirement from the London stage, that we were of opinion a slight reference to the story sod characters might not be unacceptable to our readers. The part of Albino bears, in some respects, nn small resemblance to that of Amelia Wildenheim, so that Mrs. 111ARDYN had to develop, in both, a large proportion of the same speolps talents. She discovered last night no contemptible fund of humour, with constant quickness - *end vivacity of apprehension. her ridicule of the old nurse—her jealous quarrel with Howard at the cot. tage.-her efforts to court and conciliate him in the last act, and the generous sensibility with which she heard and proposed to relieve the distresses of her parent, though unknown to her, were severally executed with perfect justice and good taste. She acted beauti fully in her assumption of the man's apparel—we hare never seen a female (Mrs. JORDAN excepted) less awkward or ungraceful in its management. Mrs. Al AR n vs discovers all the attractions and professional cacellencies in this character, which we have admired in her performance of Amelia Wilde nheini ; and must be pronounced a cultivated, elegant, and emphatic speaker —an actress endowed with spirit and sensibi lity—while of the beauties of her face and form—we are hardly sufficient connoisseurs to describe them so a; to gratify one sex—nor moderate enough upon the aiihject to have our praises forgiven by the other. She was apturouslv applauded throughout the play. lhe other performers had great merit—Wat.t.Actr's thnikeriness was in perfect nature. RAE teas very enccessfid. LovEntrort in Realize, was a thoroughly harden-d 0111 knave, and Dowroo, we need not say-, was An inimitable cvnic. The Comedy was given nut for repetition this night, with extraordinary marks of approbation. SiIAOWELL-OPF:CE, OCT. 17.—The dreadful alarm which his of late so much agitated the neighhourhood of Nli . i.-eiscl, by the assemblage of nearly '2OO sailors, Mho had been paid off from their respective ships, and taken op their residence iu the different huts of the brick grounds at the old town, and who have EPPit •t'.aling poultry, robbing the potato* grounds, as well is committing numerous other nocturnal de. 'redviong, has in a great degree subsided, by appli cation having been made by 'eve: al respectable lobs. hitants for Magisterial sssistance. Hewett, Hope, and Mortis, three vigilant Officers from Shad well, this morning visited their places of residence; they !tyces.deil in dispersing the greatest part, and bring. fog 48 of them before EDWARD MARKLAND, ne Sitting Magistrate, when lie committed nine of t!'em to the House of Correction as rogues and va gabonds ; some he ordered to their respective pa f.;!,e%, others to work at the Milo-eud.road, until other employ could be had for them ; and the re mainder, being foreigners, to be taken to the re. spectire Consuls, representing their country, for re f. pf. This day the prisoners who stand committed on various chimes of felony, will be removed from the different gaols in the City of London and County of Middlesex, to Newgate, preparatory to their trials et the ensuing Sessions at Justice Hall, in the Old Bailey, which magmas wa Wednesday west.

The rl 2 lkect thic is still paid to Bonaparte by hie Suite is very great ; as, an .itistance I shall mention that he was one day playing at chess with Moutho. Inn, who is, 1)y far, the pia player of the two. Bonaparte had evidently the worst .of the game, when Moutholon made purpotely sit improper move ment, whi ch was speedily obseraed.by the former, and he ult tinately was the victor. itoutholon praised the superior skill of his master (tt he termed him), and declared himself " not coMpelerit Co encounter such an excellent player again;" at which Iletiaparte was highly pleased. At this game, or Vingt-un, Bonaparte generally passes his time ; hut was much hurt when the Admiral iusisted that neither Of these games, nor any other, should be played on Sundays. He has been very inquisitive as to the climate, &c. of St. Helena, and declares that he shall be more comfortable there than in Austria. Temperance, he says, is the only 'means of preserving health, and adds, that he never was ill but twice in his life, and on one of those occasions only applied a blister.— Moutholon'a wife has been unwell, and he enquired of the Surgeon how she was. Ilesaill, rather better, but that lie thought the fear of the tropical climates preyed on her mind. Bonaparte replied nearly in the words of Shakspeare, " Doctor, thou cannot ad minister to a mind diseased." The force with which this remark was mottle, was observed by every one near, and apparently !elated to his own feelings. Bertrand anti his wife are continually with Bona parte, and the whole are more reconciled to their fu lure destiny. Sir George Cockburn and Bonaparte are on ex-1 cellent terms, as he is, indeed, with all the Officers of the ship ; they frequeney play at cards, &c. in which, occasionally, they have the advantage of each other. Hitherto our passage hes been very favourable, and no particular occurrence has taken place since we sailed from T.,rb•ty, BO N. 4 PARTE.

Augu.t 92, As every circumstance relative to the man we and now conveying from Europe must prove acceptable; I ethbrai - e this opportunity of detailing some anec dotes of him, and also of contradicting some of the assertions that have been circulated respecting him. Among the latter is the ono, that he took possession of Capt.-tin Maitland's cabin the moment he came on, board the Bellerophon;, refusing that gallant Officer even a corner of it to sleep iu. Previous to Bona parte cowing on hoard, Captain Maitland h$ deter mined to give.up his own cabin, a n d part of t he ward room cabins were In be appropriated fat the ladies who were expected. Equally unfounded are tflb statements that Bonaparte walked the quarter-deck fulinusly t with !al . , hands beliiiiil him, and talking to hiniself ; as also, that he asked if the Commissaire (Purser of the ship) was not a rogue. Conversing one day about the siege of St. Jean d'Acre, Botiapaiie observed—" That when Sir Sid ney Smith was there, he distributed several Proclama tions among the French troops, which made them waver a little." In order to obviate this; he pub- Balled an Older, in which he " asserted that the Eng lish Commodore was mad," and it concluded with prohibiting all communicatioo with hint. This, be added, " had the desired effect, and so enraged Sir Sidney, that he sent him a challenge to single combat, which was declined," and Napoleon returning at the same time for answer, that " when he brought the ke of Marlborough to meet him, he would accept it." He stated most positively " that lie would then have taken Acre, Ir THE ENGLISH HAD NOT TAKEN Ills BATTERING TRAIN," and added, in English and French, " had it not been for you English, I would have been Emperor of the East, but wherever a ship could get I was always sure to find some of the Eng lish to oppose me." He spoke of the Invasion of Ettglaticl as his firm de. termination, and said that he intended to have landed as near Chatham as possible, and to have dashed at once for London.

MOST lint.* FATHEit,—We, the Roman Catholic people of Ireland, most humbly approach your Holi ness, imploring, for five millions of faithful children, the Apostolical Benediction. We desire, Most Holy Father, to wickets Your Holiness in respectful and unreserved terats ; that so, your Holiness may be perfectly informed of our fears, our desires, and our determinations. We deem it necessary, Most'lls'sly Father, to re. mind the Sovereign Pontiff of our Church, of our pe. culiar claims to his protection and support ;_for we cannot, for a moment, imagi n e, th a t y ou r Holiness it unmindful of the constancy and devotion manifest ed towards the Holy See by the Roman Catholics of Ireland, in despite of the most sanguinary and unre. hotting persecution that eier aggrieved a Christian people. We cannot, hosieter, abstain from reminding our Most Holy Fathers that although the persecution which we and our incettors endured, star uotorioutt ' ly and avowedly inflicted upon us, on account of our adherence to, and • connection with, the Holy. See ; nevertheless, the Reiman Catholioe of Ireland never solicited the predecessors of your Holiness, at • any period of that persecution, to alter, in the slightest degree, that connections or make any modi fication of the existing disc i lptitie of utir Holy Church, to obtain for the Roman Cathollcs of Ireland the' repeal, or mitigation of those cruel'lmes whicb pre. scribed them. With sentimeoti of most sinceta sorrow vie base' • heard, that, notwithstanding the,;anifost'h 'manifest*. tions of oar spiritual atitiehrkett to the Holy See, it hai.plessed your Holiness to (emir a commie which would. enable a Protestant Government. to which the appointment of our Prelates, aga intt the Catholic voice of Ireland has protested, sod evert' will protest, with one accord. No spiritual grOundi are alleged for (he proposed alteration in our Eccle.. elastic-el System. It is not pretended that it would advance the interests of religion, Or improve the morality of the Catholic people Of Ireland. On the contrary, it is proposed, in opposition to the well., known end declared opinions of our Spiritual Guides, and is offered at an exchange or. barter for some temporal aid or concession. it there. fore becomes our duty, as Catholics& 1 s !Oct', to state s in most explicit terms, , It upon it. It is considered right to assent yodr tes, in. the first instance, that although the Peoid.dAws, which were framed for the oppression of the canto. tics of I reland, have been considerably relaxed gar. ing the reign of our present most gracious Sovereign... nevertheless, the hostility to our Holy Religion cons tinees to exist in full force; and every artifice- Is; practised, and every indicement'heid out s to sedates the Isiah Catholic from the practice and profession of his religion. Rewards are given to every Catholic Clergyman who apostatizes from his faith; publics schools and hospitals are maintained at great expestee, in is hich hostility to the creed and character of Ito. man Catholics constitutes tie, first principle. of in. struction ; Commissioners are appointed to prevent 'Catholic Institutions receiving any benefit from the donations of pious persons; Societies are established, under the favour of our Rulers, for proselytizing the Catholic poor—and bribes offered and ,risen to Ca. tholic parents, for the purchase of their children's faith ; at the same time that every effort of bribery and corruption is exerted, to influence Roman Ca tholic schoolmasters to seduce Roman Catholic children, entrusted to their care, from an attachment to their Creed. Every Member of the Legislature, every Minister of the Goternment, every Judge of the land, every superior Naval, Military, or Civil Officer, and almost every indialual in dila' sta tion is obliged to swear, and has actually sworn, in the following words, 'viz. I do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare, that I do believe, that in the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper there is not any transubstantia tion of the elements of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, at or after the Consecration thereof, by oily person whatsoever; and that the • Invocation or Adoration of the Virgin Mary, or any other Saint, and the Sacrifice of the Ma-s, as they are now used in the Church of Home, are su perstitious and idolatrous ; and I do solemnly, in the presence of Cod, profess, testify, and declare, that do make this declaration, and every part thereof, in the plain and ordinary sense of the words read unto me, as they are commonly understood by Eng. lish Protestants, without any evasion, equirocetion, or mental reservation whatsoever, and without any dispensation already granted me for this purpose, by the Pope, or any authority or person whatsoever, or oithout any hope of any such dispensation from any person or authority whatsoever, or without thinking that I son or can be acquitted hs.fore Gal or man, or absolved of this declaration, or any part thereof, although the Pope, or any other person or persona, or power whatsoever, should dispense with or annul the same, or declare that it was null and void from the beginning." It k to persons,who have taken these offensive oaths of hostility against our Holy Religion, that we are now required, Most Holy Father, to confide the selec tion and appointment of the Prelates of our Church, and thus the efforts of persecution having been found unsuccessful, it is now sought to accomplish, by 'in trigue, the destruction of that Church, whose pre eminent perfection has excited the jealousy and the hatred of our ri ligious opponents. We cannot sultisr ourselves to suppose that your Holiness would, knowingly, sanclifin pernicious a inessure ; for, it is our decided convie.ion, that any such concession to our Proteitant PiiAce, or to his Protestant Min i s t ers, of a right to interfere, di- redly or indireetly, in the appuintmel t of our Pre lates, would inevitably destroy the C..thulic Religion in Ireland. Its first consequence would be a geoe. ral indignant revolt against the framers or flowers of the detested system, without regard to rank oe station ; and it is not difficult to imagine that so la mentable a breach would lead to such a state of dls. trust and dinatisfaction as tnight.end in the dissola. , ~ V "1
