4 • • VAirt ttt ( e O Zi )6 1d4 4 : ;js ‘ • HAYMARKET THEATRE. Last night the comedy of The Jealous Wife was perlormed a recoil(' time at this theatre. Mr. CONWAY played Mr. Oakley with correctness and propriety ; Mr. TERRY gave full effect to the caustic humour of Major Oakley ; Mr. oXnEttßif's Sir flurry Beaiik, was a spirited and awns', portraiture of the coarse and confident vulgarity the horse-jockey baronet ; and Mr. DEcaiar'N Lord 'Matt, a ludicrous display of the saunterin: insignificance of the titled coxcomb. Mrs. JOHN sox, in Mr.. Oakley, gave full scope to the ► vanity of temper wind, characteiises the part, and hit off Lo admiration the quickne , s, petulant.. fitful impetuosity of the jealous sire. The whul was in excellent keeping, hot two scene. in ',ar ticular deserve to be mentioned : the first is, her breaking in upon the ititetview between Mr. Oakley stud Harriet, in which she displayed. with admirable etf.cr, the indignant triumph a a jealous woman, confident of having detected her husband its deliberate se ! premeditated in fidelity ; and the other was the concluding scene of the play, where the choking passion with which she sinks in.° the arm-chair in pretended hysterics, and the petrified look and attitude of silent rage and astonishment with which she re covers, on perceiving that none of the company bestow those attrtiti and services which she had expected her situation to call forth, were finely wrought. The fashionable assurance of the in trignuate of rank was well sustained tii Miss BOYCE'S Ludy Freelure. The other characters were well filled. The new comedy of Mo►ch•hreaki*g followed, which continues its curer with unsbating applause. On Sunday, at one o' lock, his !loyal Highness the Duke of You arrived in town from New market. Earl STANHOPE has arrived at Brussels. The Ea►l of DONOUGHMORE had a grand dinner party at Knockloisy ors Sunday se'nnight, at whu•h were present Lord IluTcHtution, the Judges of the Leinster Circuit, the Hon. General Sir W. H.

BooTH ling returned to London after a professional tour in the country, in which she has reaped not an ungrateful harve.t. All the servants or the late QUEEN were di.. charged on Saturday. They received the amount of what was due to them up to Michaelmas-day.— The Executors of her late MAJESTY, however pri vately disposed, could, of course, do no more for them, and no intimation was given, on the part of the Administration, that any gratuity would be given to them. It has here customary on a similar breaking up of any Royal Ertablislimetit, to allow the discharged servants, if not better provided for, a year's wages in addition to voluit was actually due to them ; but it seems that in the pie.ent instance the custom is to be honoured in the breach and not iu the observance. Marquis GARN its, Peer of France, and Minister of State, died at Paris on the 4th of apoplexy. " GONE OUT !"—A person calling one day at a Gentleman's house, where his visits were more frequent than welcome, was told by the ser vant that her master bad gone out. "Oh ! well, never mind, I'll speak to your mistress."—" She is also gone out, Sir." The Gentleman riot willing to be denied admission, said, •' as it was a cold day, he would step in, and sit down by the fire a f e w minutes."—" Aim ! Sir, but that is gone out too." replied the girl. Enfield races will take place to-morrow and fol lowing day, and they will, no doubt, prove the best racing that ever took place there. Saturday was the entrance day, ut the Angel, at Edmonton, when nine horses were entered for the Maiden Plate, and seven for the All Age Plate. The Sweep stakes is full, and many horses art' on the road from Newmarket for entrance at the post.

The Marquis of Conynglum, while sitting in the Ani baasarlor's boa, al the theatre last night, related as arwe dote that made those around him laugh heartily. He said, that while travelling in the royal carriage from Calais to Lisle, the people in many places mistook him for the King, marl incessantly cried out' Vire le Roi d'A 'widely*? ranking. 31 the same time, a profound obeisance. The Noble Marquis felt quite embarrassed at having thus involuntarily usurped the Ingmar. of his Sovereign, and was anxious to hide him self from the acclaiming multitude. However, is order to do this, he waa subjectril to no slight inconvenience; fur, being of more than ordinary stature, he found it necessary to coil up his frame in a corner of the carriage, and to hold his head dome to his knees, a posture whisk his Lordship re- ; presented as by no means plessaat on a long journey. His Majesty enjoyed the scene exceedingly, and rallied the Mar quis uu the awkward predicament in which he found himself. ' Mat, Conyughem,' said MY Majesty, have you not karutd to play die King! Bon to them, man, as I would. - ---- sal Reports have been made by them. Under the authority of the late Minister of the Interior, his Excellency the Duc de Claes, a list of questions was issued, in o►der to obtain returns of the state of the prisons; and these returns have been em bodied in • Report from the Minister to the King, which also contains a detailed view of the law rela tive to Prison Discipline. The laws of France presume the existence of a variety of prisons, and enact many provisions which it iv impossible in the present state of the buildings to execute. It is, however, hoped, that as information on the subject of prison discipline is extended, larger allowances will be made for the extension and improvement of the buildings, and that the alterations will be made on the best principles.

SEPTEMBER 25. in the midst of the contradictions which presuil in the accounts that we receive. as well from Manna as from Russia, re►pecting the affairs of Turkey, we have observed that the hope of maintaining peace between the two empires seen!, to be mach diminished. At Warsaw, for instance, every body seems convinced that the Turks will be immediately rollicked. They even go so far as to fix which of the Russian armies will commence hostilities. Among the manifold reports that are in circula tion relative to this great question, we °beery& one that a Power in the South of Europe, whose com merce in the Ottoman dominion's is not nitwit fa voured, has joined with the Court of St. Peters burgh to follow. under present circumstances, the same policy as Russia. Persons who pretend to be better informed. assu►e us, that in case of war, this Power will confine it self to observing the strictest neutrality, which would still be the iuterest of the Cabinet of St. Pete►shurgb. Ou the other hand, many of our politicians speak with an air of mystery of an understanding be tween the Courts of Vienna atid London on the most snitehle manner of terminating the effairs of Turkey. Notes are said to have been exchanged between those Governments and the Russian Cabinet. If this is coefirmed, the result would he, that the ne gotiations entered into on this subject would not be very near their termination. BRUsSCLS. OCTOBER 2. The bureaus of the Ministerial Departments continue to arrive at Hague. Oii the 16th the States General will open. The 'subjects they will have to discuss this Session are of the highest im portance to the interests of the whole kingdom. We sincerely hope that the new laws to be presented to them,may at length conciliate all interests, both public and private. The Marquis of Londonderry has gone direct to Hannover. where great preparations are making to receive the King.—(Brussels Papers, October S.) PARIS PAPERS, PARIS. OCTOBER 4. Two English Officers, in consequence of a dis pute, had a meeting on the glade of Calais, to fight with pistols; one of them received a ball in his thigh. Being prosecuted by the public authorities, they were discharged by the Chamber of Council; but on the appeal of the Attorney-General, the Royal Court of Dousy caused them to be arraigned for the attempt to murder. This proceeding was denounced by the accused to the Supreme Court, which annulled it, and appointed the Court of Nancy to decide on the appeal of the authorities against the decision of the Chamber of Council. The Court of Nancy having adopted the same doc trine as the Court of Douay, this new act of accu sation was submitted to the Court of Cussation, which has decided that the cause should be brought before the assembled Sections, under the Presidency of the Keeper of the Seals. The Gazelle of Lyons gives the following ex tract of a letter from Barcelona, under date of September ti :—" No idea can be formed of the desolation reigning in this city. The bulletin of health, published with the design of calming the public uneasiness, states the number of deaths in Barcelona and the suburbs of Barcelonetta, at only 43, and of sick, at 310; but all the inhabit ants unfortunately know that there numbers are not correct, and that the deaths and sickness which incessantly afflict our observation, give u cruel contradiction to the assertion of authority. The disease width rages in this country, and of the na ture of which we reinitiated for some time doubt ful, is decidedly the yellow fever. The Magi strates arc now occupied in transferring to two 'or three convents in the neighbourhood of our city the persons not yet infected with this destroying scourge. The misery at Barcelona is frightful. Provisions are scarce, there being no communica tion with the country ; and three parts of the shop. are closed. Barcelona is like a city taken by storm. Adieu, my friend, adieu ! Oh ! that my adieu may not be eternal !" PARIS, OCTOBER 5. Yesterday his M..jesty transacted business with the Marquis of Laurision and the President of the Council. Chevalier Roth, Secretary of the French Lega tion us the United Statile, has returned to Frstiee, charged with a particular mission.

FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 28. A courier extraordinary arrived at Vienna on the 20th inst. from St. Petersburg!), with dispatches for Count Golowkin, the Busman Minister. Vari ous rumours were soots circulated, in consequence, in that capital. It would appear that the Russian cabinet hat hot been otitiefied with the reply of the Putt, t• its witiaologne, anct that it insists more de- cidedly than ever is the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia by the Ottoman troops, which, accord ing to existing treaties, have no right to occupy these provinces in a military way. The declaration of the Divan, that the Greek Patriarch, and the dignified members of the clergy, who have been put to death, were conspirators, has, it is added, made an uafavoarable impression ou the members of the Russian Government. The head•quartrrs of the Russian army hove been transferred from Witepolc to Minsk, where the Etn• peror Alexander was expected to arrive immediately. PRANK/VET, SEPTEMBER 29. Uutil the 25th instant every one mere thought that King George, on his way to Hanover, would puss through our town ; we were the more confirm ed iu this belief, because on the 24th the British Legation resident in this town received a letter from Lord Claticarty, which took no notice whatever that the route of his Britannic Majesty was chang ed. Every preparation to rrceive a King , has been made ; relays were stationed, and our artists have duta►ed their best paintings in a hall of the Castle of Homburg, where the Sovereign, it was expected, would visit his sister. A courier, however, has ar rived there, bringing an invitation from the King to his sister to have un interview with him at Hano ver. It is affirmed that his Majesty will only make a short stay in Hanover. The rumour still prevail■ that lie will have an interview with the King of Prussia at Halberstadt, and that he will visit the University of Gottingen. HANOVER, SEPTEMBER 25. The Castle of Herrenhausen, situated near our city, has been arranged in a style fitting to receive our Sovereign, and the road leading to• it has been furnished with lamps. It is affirmed that our States will be convoked immediately after the arrival of the king. and that his Majesty will make • proposition, tending to re lieve the country from the !model' of maintaining •n armed force disproportioned to its resources. To attain this end, there is a rumour of employing 15,000 Hanoveriaus to form tlae_gartiaon. of Malta, Corfu. and the lonian Islands . ; they will be paid by Great Britain. It was by a similar measure ►hat in the war of America the Hanoverians fought under the English flag. ♦IENNA. sETTEMBER 24. Rumours in some degree of a warlike nature are revived. A courier, who left St. Peiersburgh on the 10th of September, states, that the Emperor has fully approved the conduct of Baron Strognoff, and testified his approbation to him in an autograph letter. The Russian reply to the last note of the Porte was not us yet known. The Emperor was on the point of settiug out for Minsk, where he will re view his guards ; it was said he would visit all the cantonments of his troops as far as Odessa and the Pruth. The foreign Ministers mere not to accom pany his Majesty. All our letters agree in their description of the extreme ardour manifested by the Russian army to come to an engagement with the Turks. Our Court has proposed a Congress; but doubts are entertained that the Emperor of Russia will submit his resolutions to foreign Power., much less leave Ins duu►inions at this critical period.

There are several persons here, who, during the dreadful Ea.ter holidays at Constantinople, were eye witbesses of the shameful mutilation of the corpse of the Greek Patriarch, formerly mentioned in the Allgesneine Zeitung, and who made a de scription of it which I will spare your readers.— The corpse was afterwards dragged by cords, fas tened to the feet, through many streets, and pur posely before the hotel of Baron StrogotitA Hun dreds of Greeks who have since tied to Russia, will attest this. ODESSA. SEPTEMBER 4. Within these two days a report has been circa hoed of a piohibition to export corn to Turkey, ❑s being shortly to be issued. Those friends of the Turks here, who, front motives of interest, look on a war with Turkey with horror, see in this pioliihi. lion a proof of the most pacific intentions; others look on it as a measure on the part of our Govern ment preparatory to wur. Though it might in some measure have been foreseen, yet the mere re port. connected with the abolition of the free port, has produced an extraordinary stagnation is all bu siness. One thought shine comforts, which is, that if war breaks out this time, the dominion of the Turks in Europe would probably soon be at an end, and the free navigation of the !losphortis and the Dardanelles be for ever It cured. Our city, whose trade may be said tii depend on the caprice of the Turks, might then look forward to the at tainment of the highest prosperity. The number of Russian vessels which sailed, in consequence of the removal of the embargo at Col:- statitioople, to all parts of the Archipelago, loaded fur the most part with corn, used some perhaps wills military stores, is said to have amounted to 400. Baron Strogonoff, who is now out of quarantine, received on the a courier from St. l'etersburgh. As the report of the prohibition to export corn was spread immediately after, some persons think that the declaration of war will immediately follow.

Others will be conducted to Spielberg, and the celebrated Colic;lis, to Mungutsch. LEIP3IC, SEPTEMBER 26. The last accounts from Brody say, that the Russian ships which acre di tamed at Constanti nople and other Turkish ports by the late mea sures, had not obtained permission to depart, but on condition of selling all their cargoes. They state further, that there had been some serious dis putes between the Turks rind the Russians on the frontiers of Bessarabia. Leardi, the Papal Nuncio at Vienna, has ar "rived at Dresden, with instructions fur a definitive organisation of the affairs of the Catholic church in Saxony. The accounts of the state of the relations be tween Turkey and Russi■ in the foreign papers continue of the same doubtful character which has distinguished them from the commencement of the misunderstanding between these two Powers. They are alternately warlike and pacific. In the early pert of lust week they gave assurance th4t the peace of the Continent would not be disturb. ed. The Papers ot Yesterday inform ds that the hopes of peace are diminished, that the answer of the Ottoman Porte to the ultimatum of Russia has proved unsatisfactory, and that the latter Power insists more strongly than ever upon the evacuation of Moldavia and Wallachia by the Turkish troops, in conformity with existing tretties. Sir ROBERT WILSON is arrived in town from Paris ; a copy of • laconic letter from the Duke of YORK. communicating his dismissal from the service, and of Sir ROBERT WI 1.40N . 5 answer, are given in another part of our Paper. Fvom the latter we find that his sentence operates with a de gree of severity of which we were not aware. It it not mercy the deprivation of his rank in the army, it is a confiscation of his property. lie had purchased all his commissions in the army except the first. His private property, thus ex pended, is now all swept away after twenty-nine years of honourable and distinguished service in his profession. There is another circumstance disclosed in the answer which greatly aggravates his fate. Having heard that calumnies had been circulated against him, be had formally challenged inquiry so far beck as the 21it of August, mud it was not until the 15th of September his condemnation was an nounced in the Duke of l'ottes letter, without inquiry granted, charge preferred, or au op portunity given for defence. Dispatches were yesterday received at Carlton Palace from his MAJESTY, dated from Dussel dorf, where his MAJESTY arrived on Thursday, the 4th instant, in perfect health. His MAJESTY was to set off ou Friday for Hanover, where be was expected to arrive yesterday. Every where his MA JESTY'S reception has been most enthusiastic. Dusseldorf is a city of Germany, in the circle of Westphalia and duchy of Berg, situate on the river Dussel at its confluence with the Rhine, and about twenty miles N.W. of Cologn. The country is now left in a very awkward situa tion. Our gracious Sovereign, previous to his de parture, deputed 19 persons to fill his place, or, technically speaking, to discharge the functions of the executive power. We wish to know what is become of these Kinghogs. We have read in the newspapers that one of them is gone to Scotland, where he will pass the reminder of the season with his relatives and friends ; two or three more of them went to the Continent with his MAJESTY ; of the remainder we know nothing. The KING may be considered the sun of our political system, diffusing his genial heat among the bodies that move obedient to his control, in pro portion to their distance. The metropolis, as more immediately within his attraction, may be said, like Illereary, to bask in his fervid rays. The wilds of Scotland and of Ireland occupy the places of Jupi ter and Saturn, and scarcely feel the influence of his beams. To those remote parts of the kingdom, therefore, it may he a matter of indifference whe ther the KING resides at Brighton or Hanover, but not so with the metropolis. The KING'S presence is sure to attract the Court circle of nobility and gentry, and keep these planets moving around him in their orbits in autumn as in winter. Were his MAIRSIY now in England, we might expect to feel the benefit of his presence at the the.itre, at the Loan NIAYOR'S dinner, or in some other situations, inciting activity and ani mation through the town. Fifty black rabbits, we admit, will not make one black horse, and these nineteen stars may not be equal to one sun, but still their light, if consolidated, would be more brilliant and efficient than that which they emit in their present erratic and scattered state. lf, then, those Lords Commissioners would do all in their power to compensate fur the absence of the Sovereign, let them unite in the metropolis, where they may shine as a little galaxy of stars, though they may not shine as a real ►un, nor challenge our wonder as a brilliant constellation. His MAJESTY will open the next Session of Par liament in great state. The state coach, which has undergone a variety of improvements, and its beautiful paintings by CIPRIARI cleaned at.d re touched where necesvary, is now complete, aud, with the superb harness, is in the Royal !Views. The body of the carriage has resumed its original farm, being open in both front and sides, with ele gant plate glass windows, so that his MAJESTY'S person will be distinctly seen by the spectators in going to and returning from the House of Peers. Extract of a letter from Leghorn, dated 224 of September :—" The tender of Admiral Sir G. tIOORE arrived this morning in fifteen days from Curio, and brings information that in the Mores the Greeks have taken Navarritio and Corroni. At Zone the news had arrived, that the Ottoman squadron had been attacked by the Greeks, who had Liken and burnt seven tiansports, and that the Ottoman fleet was situated in the Channel of Scio, for fear of the Greeks, who hid a fleet of up wards of fifty vessels, each manned with about 200 men. Every thing was quiet at Smyrna and Con stantinople." Accounts from Captain BILLINGHAUSEN, Corn. mender in the Russian voyage of discovery in the Antarctic seas (as received at Petersburgh from Botany Bay, his letter dated May, 1820), report, that he bad discovered three islands covered with snow and ice, on one of which was a volcano, lat. 56.5. He announces that there is no southern comment, or, should there be one, it oust be in accessible, from being covered with perpetual boors, ire, &c. to wish, for otherwise, atter the loss of out privilege of the corn trade, we must soon sink into a village of fi.herreen. The English here look gloomy, be cause, in the present crisis, they cannot hops for any sale of their immense magimines of goods.— Allgenseitte Zeiting, September SNI.) WILMA, SEPTEMBER I. In the hitter end of last month we had troops of all arms continually marching through this town, most of whom halted for one night, and then con tinued their march to the south-west frontiers of the kingdom. They come from the interior of the empire, and were all animated with the moat ardent attachineut and unlimited devotion to their august Monarch, as well as the joyful hope that they should soon be able to manifest their feelings in the contest for religion and humanity. Among these troops were several of those corps which we saw pass through seven years ago to free the west of Europe from foreign tyranny. The recol lection of that eventful period was renewed in all minds on this occasion. For our brave soldiers flatter themselves that they are called upon to break the chitin of their oppresved brethren in the south of our continent, and in those countries which, on account of their services in the moral improvement of mankind, are some of the most interesting on the whole surface of the globe, to restore the throne of legitimase authority and the empire of civilization, whose ruins have been buried fur four centuries under barbarism and des potism. It may be easily supposed that the pro bable object of the march of these troops added to the cordiality with which our citizens are used to receive our soldiers. LEI esic, SEPTEMBER 24.

The Austrian Observer and the Vienna Gazelle mention the departure of the Austrian and Russian Ministers from Lisbon, on account of the refusal of the Portuguese Government to give the satisfac tion that was required for the breaking of the win dows of the Austrian Consul General last April.— The Austrian Observer remarks on the circular issued by the Portuguese Government to its Minis ters abroad, that " it is a most strange assertion in this circular, that the note delivered by M. de Berks, by order of his Court, was induced by a false statement of the affair published in the Eng lish courier. If it were permitted to believe that the Imperial Court would be guided by the state ments of foreign newspapers, in giving instructions to its diplomatic agents, such a supposition would be wholly arbitrary and groundless in the present case, as the direct communication of M. de Berks himself, founded on indisputable facts, were fully sufficient to make the affair cleur."—(Arst►ims Observer.
