Prressoustels, Nov. 20..--An Edict was, on the 18th of November, addreseed by_ his Imperial hlajesty to Mr. Alexander Narishkin, Chief Mana ger of the 'neatly, wher&u the )Emperor, deeming the company of French comedians quite unnecessary, in the present state of affairs; was .pleased to signify his will, that ail the actors and actresses, composing the same, both at St. Petersburgh and Moscow, should he immediatelidismissed. In another Edict, addressed, on the same day, to Field-Marshal Count Nickolhy Soltikoff, it is declared, that his Imperial I hlajesty having, in consequence. of a representation from the Committee of the MinistOrs, given orders to the Chief Manager of the Theatre, .for dismissing I the company of actors and actresses, is pleased to acquaint the Director of*thel'abinet, that the fund appropriated for supporting the said company, shall now be.converted to the velier of the inhabitants of I those places which have been desolated by the enemy. I Kostnosfs, Nov. B.—The Nobility of this place were commissioned by his Imperial Majesty to pro- vide, for a stipulated sum of money, to he paid by Government, a sufficient number of horses for transporting the moveable magazines : but our No bility, animated with unbounded ardour for the -good of their country, zealously exiting them selves in -the accomplishment of this object, have furnished for the above purpose, 900 horses ) en til eV at their own expence. VottoNAGE, Nov. 3.—Some time ago, six parties of French prisoners passed through our town, on their way from the • Goverarront of Kalouga to,those of Saratoff and Tomboti. Their number amounted to about 1,600 men, amor t zst whom w ere many per -sons of rank. Their clothing is •in general so sad, that some cevker their tattered rags with sheep-skins, others with peasants' frocks, and ninny with women's jackets, which have been given to thew, out of pity, by the poor peasantry. In addition to the above / ,5(.0 French prisoners have been brought hither this day ; and a report is spread, that many thousands more are shortly expected. A few days ago ROO horses were sent from this Government, for the purpose of transporting provi sions to the army. - Thji levy was voluntarily made at the sole expense of the -Nobility of this place, who 'burn with the greatest ardour for the good of their coustry. Battwooc, Nov. s.—John Balkin, one of the la. bourers at the melting foundry of this place, pre sented hiaiseif at the foundry office, and amongst the other voluntary donations made for the benefit of the country, prodoced on his part five silver roubles. 7 - The persons of rank, who were present on this oc casion, aware of the slender means of this man, and the large family with which he was incutnbered, ex pressed their surprise at this sacrifice ; but he -an swered them with singular firmness The Em peror succours me, and my. family will not die froni want : this money was left me by my deceased fa. ther, with the . strict injunction that I should lay it by for a rainy day. On hearing of the present situa tion of our sacred country, which the enemy threatens to trample over, I imagined that there could not be a more rainy day for us than this ; and therefore, in compliance with -the desire of my d—oased Whir. I beg foub..wittseceive my mooey, and enter it into the beok."—Such zeal from a cora labourer is the more wro thy observation, as the iuhabitants cf this place are only acquainted with the disasters of their country from hearsay, owing to the distance of their situation.

It most be admitted that this country is on tkir PP pulsed, after some caononading. of a very great struggle, and that we are f 4 ip 'lir one-of those Ultra and ptyritoes situntkos proaching _ which, in foe*, ages, distinguished thef virtue of!itte English natiofl—when the influence of the Crown,' I accompanied by venality and Itutury, is sapping the j !foundation of the Constitution, breaking down tse °fences of liberty, and • rendering the nation tanie, I 1 and contented as vassals. When war, in despite of in its complicated horrors,'is undertiken and pose, . estd 'in beyond ,the natural limits of defence, without a . y apparent disposition ihown by our Ministers either lb. wards alerting its progress, or softening its calamiti , by an economical, wise, or benevolent application sf its treasures and resources—when Parliament, the Grand Council of the Nation, and once the terror of evil Ministers, is become defective in its rem-, sentation, and when a majority 'of its Member venal and dependent, is likely to render it, with out a timely and salutary Reform, little more than a public office for registering Royal and Ministerial Edicts. We say. that, at such an awful and int. pending rrisis, it is the duty of every patriot and friend to mankind, to endeavour, by a calm and dig- pationate exposition of the true stato of the country, and not by the wild declamation of party bigots to assuage the fury that rages, and avert the further destruction of the human race, by planting the seeds. of amity and reciprocal prosperity in the bosoms of nations, or rather the rulers of nations, whose thirst for conque s t, and lust of power, have so loncra-, caged the fertile face of nature by a cruel and san guinary hostility. The present pause in the dread ful contest is auspicious ; and if there be one grain of v irtue—one spark of "human sympathy left ist the breasts of the ruling powers, we hope and trust that it will, by some happy means or other, be fostered into a balmy remedy that may heal the bleeding wounds of suffering Europe. Let the Belligerents seek to treat on terms that offer a just regard for the people's rights, and an adequate security to the Go vernments—let then; establish the principles of Om mercial independence, and abandon the rights of con: quest beyond the natural boundaries of their reciprocal territories—let them honestly point out the means of . ,avoiding again recurring to armi as the only alterna tive for settling their most trifling and frivolous dit putes—and let them.learn, that when war in I coin: mercial nation becomes, with a Monarclv, a para mount cbject to the preservation of peace, that it only serves to undermine the foundation of the Throne, and dismantle the prosperity of the people. It has been announced in the Treasury' Journals, that Ministers mean to show that notice was sent to our Commanders on the stationo'near the seat of hostili ties, so early as May last, of the imminent probabi.; lity of a rupture with America, and that they were 1 at the time furnished with instructions, and mlnes, for a vigorous retaliation, the momeat it should out. Ft Wadded, that the kry possessed exceeded that of the Americans, in thepro portion of 85 to 14.. This is published in a letter, which has all the air of office. We trust that Ministers will concur, therefore, in an enquiry into . the unaccountable inactivity which has taken place, and assist in the discovery of the real cause of the disgrace which the naval power has incurred. They Cannot mean to shelter theniselves under the pitiful subtgyfuge of our naval force being superior to the naval iorce of the American Government, when they must be aware that it was against commercial depre dation that they had chiefly to p rovide. If the Ame rican rivers had been put•into a state of blockade in the mouth of June, their seamed would have been . Bong out of employment, their hoPes of success in their ] pitiful navy would have been checked, and both the' mercantile and agricultural parties would have beep clamorous for a peace. Every letter from America speaks with astonishment of their success, mit sap, that it is to the torpor of the English Admi. nistration, that they hove to ascribe the .precast high tone of the people. There are Comil l idats from all parts of the•country of the nogfeet of the Admi. ratty, lententing the capture of our frigates to United States.

THE ARETUOsA.--The arrival of the Leonidas, Captain GRIFFITHS, at Plymouth, has in a great measure removed the apprehensions entertained for . the safety of this ship. While cruising in the Chan nel, Captain G anetvns.boardecl the Newland, from the Havanisah, which informed him that. the Aretlinia,' in a cruise, had been obliged to throw her quarter deck guni overboard, during the same heavy gate in which the Brazen was totally dismasted ; but that 1 she was left, sae at the Havannah. , The Darlington packet has arrived. at Falmouth from St. Thomits's,' with advice.; from Guadeloupe . to the l lth, from Montserrat t,* the 18th, and from , 'Martinique to rid Noveteher. The packet, on the 29th of that month, spoke twelve vessels under Convoy of -the Helena ship of 'war from Demerara. The Guadalocve letters mention, that the American privateers swarm roitud that island and the neigh. bouring settlements: i t The accounts from the Mirth Coast of Spain, state, that the garrison of Santana, amounting to 1200 men, was in tee greatest want•of provisions. For some months past, their-daily allowance was I four ounces of pork; and 1 lb. of very bad bread; with a glass of wine twice a week to each man.. The Germans, who compose half their number, had be- • come extremely divsslisfied, and-were expected to re volt. There were 33 horses in-the garrison, three of which were killed oh the 20th ult. lot subsistence. The enemy have had, for some time past, a frigate, a corvette, three schooners, and several chaste marees, at Bayonne, laden with, provisions for the relief of the place. We copied a ora'graph from another paper, stet- I ing, that Mr. Sneat DAN was 'to be certainly returned for Wotton Basset. We have been since informed, and regret, in common with the public, that the pa ragraph does not rest upon good authority. • The Dublin Evening Post, received yesterday, Nye, we can state upon an authority which we have hitherto found scrupulously correct, that the cele brated French General MOREAU is to superintend the invasion of Canada! It did not appear, as had been reported, that any of the French troops had left Spain on their return to France. General Care Anew was in the North of Spain, with 8,000 men; and had given out, that as soon as he could increeselsis force2,ooo More, he would retaki all the ports on the coast, and garrison these. Tice boats of the Bulwark man of war, under Lieutenants*MOMT and DAWES,' have gallantly cut out a vessel at anchor, close in with the French aqua drain at Rechefort, in. defiance of the whole of the boats of the French men of war, who ineffectually opposed them with a spirited fire of great guns and musketry. - • The Queen Charlotte packet has arrited at Fal mouth from Serinam, Demerara, &c.; she spoke in the Channel the Lady Shet brook, Abcona, and Susan, from. Halifax, having parted convoy, the latter dismasted. There has been an American pri vateer on the coast of D. , mararai which has captured several vessels in consequence of which the Queen charlotte packet, whilst at Demarara, was• manned with 70 volunteers; beside s bet own crew, and sent to cruise for ire vessels of the Cork fleet which had parted from fftecontoy ; she fortunately fell in with and succeeded iu getting them safely into port.

Two frigates in the Texel, having on board a quantity of *small arms, and other stores, supposed for America, are only waiting for a fair opportunity to slip out. On Thursday all foreign.hetel-keepers in Londou were ordered to attend at the Mien Office, , and in. formed, that they must regularly deliver in at that Office, accurate Lists of all Foreigners arriving at their houses, otherwise they would be eapesed to the Alien Act. ' Major WILLIAMS, with 220 of the first battalion of Royal Marines, is arrived at Portsmouth from St. Andero. The second battalion, commanded by Ma. jor MALCOLM, was hourly expected from the same place. They were succeeded in the possession of St. Andero, and In the investment of Santona, by a di vision of the Spanish troops commanded by General Meeetzaatt.. The Medusa, Capt. BouvEttlr, was . 0 remain at St. Andero. The Lyra had gone to Co. tonne, to bring tk convoy to England. The Special Commission for the trial of offences connected with the disturbancb in the West Riding of Yorkshire, was opened on Saturday, at York, by Baron Tnoassom and Justice he &exc. The ea , lender contains 69 prisoners, of wham 10 are charged with administering unlawful oaths, and the rest for the murder of HORS,ALL, the attack on Mr. CARTWRIGHT'S mill, at Rawfolds, stealing arms, and various burglaries, robberies, and tints. It is found impracticable to procure horses in Spain or Portugal, for our cavairvelther henry or lighi; all that are wanted to remount them (!nd they, are very, numerous) must be shipped front our own shores, .and at a most ruinous expence. In consequence of the outrages in the neighbour. hood of Nottingham, ,two troops of the Queen's Bays passed through Doncaster, on Thursday, on their route to that • town, and were to be followed inext day by a third troop. The depot of arms mentioned to have been seized by the Magistrates near Halifax, amounted to ei,ett muskets atia six pair of pistols. The informer had been concerned in the late disturbances in that tte:gti. boo rhood. The 10th, the Pntect REGENT'S regiment of din goons, are under orders for the Peninsula. It is yet doubtful, whether Col. PALMER will take the com mand of the regirgent, or whether he may stay, at least during the Session, for his Parliamentary auty ; and at the same time (as has been dente in other in stances) to superintend the augmentations for the proposed additional troops. A letter from Barbadoes, dated November 11, says, that the Maria schooner had put into St. Tho mas's with the ships from Demerara; and that they would sail from thence for England, under convoy of a sloop of war. MEETING AT NOTTINGHAM, TO PETITION FOR PEICE.-011 Monday se'nnight, a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Nottingham, convened by the Mayor, took place in the Town-half, to consider on the propriety of presenting a Petition to the Prince Regent, and the two Houses of the Legislature, to restore the blessings of peace. Resolutions stating the necessity for peace, with copies of the Petitions, were read and unanimously agreed' to. Several Gen. tlensen addressed the Meeiing, and described situation into which the country had fallen by the continuance of this unnecessary and ruinous contest. One of them drew a picture of the. nation as it was at the commencement of the war, when the penee loaf weighed nine ounces, and contrasted it with the present times when the penny loaf is little,more than three ounces—and the peepers in one .pariah alone had increased from 2or 300 to near f 0 ' The three county towns, Derby, Leicester, and Not tingham, and the market towns in these coon ', ties have now done their duty, it remains for the manufacturing districts in other parts of England to follow, their - example.
