The other Officers were accommodated at Holmes's hotel, and the sol `Merl lodged in the Quebec barracks. On Thursday last, General Hull, with eight Ame rican Officers, left this city for the United States, on their parole., ,SErr. 14.—A new battalion of drafted militia is to be formed from the Montreal militia, to consist of 380 men; several of the companies •have drafted their respective quotas, and the remainder will be drafted in a few days. When formed they will be un der the command of Col. P. Murray. YORE, UPPER CANADA, AVG. 29.---Arrived_ on Thursday night in his Majesty's armed schooner Prince Regent, from Niagara, the Hon. Major. General Brock, accompanied by Major-Gen. Shear., and suite. . !j QUEDED, SErr. 17.—We have received no further accounts since last Thursday of the state of prepanw l tiona of the enemy collecting on the frontiers of th province. His force in the vicinity of Lake Chanijkl lain is variously stated from 2 to 15,000 men.. ° Oa' our side we may rely on every thing being dent which time and deans will permit. •• A large force -is also collected on the American aide near Niagara. General - Brock, we are in ' formed, has lately gone from Kingston to Fort j George. LISBON P4PERS. LISBON ' OCT. t6.—They write from Madrid, un. der date o f the .9th, that the cavalry which were in that city had marched out by the road of Valencia. Bassecourt's troops were in Riquena; Soult's vane guard was in Albacete ; King Joseph was expected In Saragosa. - In Madrid no fears were entertained. of the French, OCT. 15.--On the 4th Geneml Hill entered Ma drid, and on the 6th rejoined his army, which pre serves the same positions. Now we know from whence proceeded that report which has beets so much circulated that the French threatened Madrid ; it has been the echo of reports which in Valencia and other parts the French have circulated, of shortly returning and occupying Madrid. Tula:sous, OCT. 4.—The-he.ad-quarters of the 2d and 3d army are this place. The movements of So.:lt's troops will decide the destination of these corps. Ocr. B.—The enemy from Andalusia are now united with those of Valencia; some divisions march in the direction of Almauza and Jonquera, others are in Albacete, and keep up a fire witirounnon up. %on the castle of Chinchilla, but thel' are of a small calibre, runlet present there ii nothing to fear ; they occupy themselver at present in .making excursions in the neighbouring villages, for the purpose of plundering provisions. Our divisions of cavalry, which amount to 2000 men, are in Villaroblido and St. Clemente, and the infantry in this place and its vicinity. phis army has received a reinforcement of more than 2000 men from Chalcea's and other parties who have joined it. IConde de Penne and Morillo's troops are in ilor. cage, two leagues from this.* We are assured that those of General Hill and the Eaglish cantoned in the vicinity of Madrid, will also proceed there. GRANADA, Oct. 12.—Various English prisoners have arrived here who effected their escape near Ca. ravaca, -as have likewise some French deserters, who assure us that discontent, disorder, and insubordi nation, have arrived at a great height amongst the French, the scarcity of provisions was so great, that for four days prior to their Bight they had re ceived no rations: they add, that Soult had repeat edly attacked the castle of Caravaca in vain, and with great loss—in the last attack he lost more than 600 men. OCT. 16.—The head-quarters of General Ballas teros still remain here—had he sufficient arms his army would soon amount to 40,000 chosen men., HULSCAIk, OCT. 3.—Soult's army continues its march for Bullas Cezar and Calasparra, cooteitting a thousand robberies. On the 30th S e ptember, the vanguard marched from Puente la Higuaria, towards Valencia, and the rear guard from Cegnin i MADRID, Ocr. 6.—The troops of Gene*ls Hill, Elio, and Espana, and those of Alteu and Paken ham, are situated upon the right of the Tajo. Gen. Hill, who commands in Chief, has his head-quarters at Aranjuez. Soult endeavours to draw Lord Wel lington's attention by moving towards the Tagus, but that does not create the least fear. OCTOBER 12.—Senors Penne and Morino have ar rived here. Up to the 24th ult. a reinforcement of 5000 men only had arrived from France, and there had proceeded 4000 for that country from Pampluna, and 3000 who escorted Marmont, so that it may he said the French have not been reinforced. The troops which the enemy have in the neighbourhood of Burgos, in cluding those they have drawn from the garrison, do not exceed 2ri,000 men. CADIZ, Ocr. 14.—8 y the arrival of an extraor dinary courier from Alicant, it has been reported, Ist. That the expeditionary troops have driven the French from Montefort ;-2d.. That the latter have taken the castle. of Chinchilla ;-3d. That they blockade that of Penes de St. Pedro;-4th. That Soult and Suchet have united, and that their troops extend to Albacete ;-sth. That the army are in great force in the neighbourhood of Alicant. It appears that General Ballasteros has received order, to advance with his army. OCTOBER 19.—We are assured that Dunn has taken a convoy of 90 waggons, and that on the 9th, he was preparing to march upon Caragosa. . TOLEDO, OCT. 6,.. .The head-quarters has. been, established at Aranjuez, and the united Inept' amount to 30,000 men. • MORATALLA, OCT. 3.—Soult committed number less excesses in Ceguin; his vandals burned many edifices, &c. : The castle of Caravaca has cost them many men. Army,* • Oct. 12.—Yesterday arrived here 5000 of General Ballasteros's troops, under the corn!. mand of General Merino; had. it not been for the I heavy fall of rain, they would to-day have proceeded for Cordoba: It is said, that in each capital of the four king- , drams of the Andalusias, a division of the 4th army will be established, for the purpose of organizing: : .40,000 men. • POSITIONS OF - THE ARMIES ACCORDING TO IN TELLICrENCE RECEIVED TO THE sin. .

QUEBEC, SEPT. 17.—The Officers and privates of the American regular troops taken .et Detroit,- aud i ''*ho hive not .been peimitted to return on pardle, arrived at l'Anudes Meres on Friday afternoon, escorted by a detachment of the Glengarys, from Three Rivers. The prisoners, excepting the Officers, were immediately embarked from the Batteaux on board transports. The officers lodged that night in the Union Hotel, and were conducted the next day to Charlesbourg, where they are to remain on parole., A detachment of the Canadian regiment returned with the Batteaux. The Lord Eldon East Indiaman has brought over to England a heifer, 18 months old, of the Brami- ' Bina or true Bengal breed, which was put on hoard at the Isle of France by direction of the Governor of that island, by order of Lord Minto, the Gover nor-General of India, as a present to .the Prince , Regent On Saturday evening it' arrived at the stables at Carlton House.

As we never saw this Gentleman perform until night, we have no prejudic es t o support' nor last any opinion to retract ; a n d, i n consequence we shall offer such a report upon this essay, as truth ' or ca n. dour might expect, without any reference to the panegyric, or cavilling, of antecedent c r iti c i sm There is an evident indication of both modesty and discretion, exhibited by Mr. BITTY i n his c h oice of Achmet for this occasion, as he, thereby, eludes the manifold disadvantages that mi g ht arise f°in r competition, as the brightness of Mr. GARILICK, and the lesser luminousness of Mr. SA • VIGNY, in the same pert, are now forgotten. This Tragedy was written by Dr. neowee. The design of it is evidently bestowed from th e T rage d y of blerope ; and_ though the unities of time and place are strictly presereid, the characters naturally drawn, the accidents impressive, and the catast ro ph e just, yet it never was, not ever w ill be, em i nently 1 attractive, 'because the language is unilluminated with those sparks and --coruscations of the fancy, torpor, a ic which serve to rescue us from that t 'h' is incidental to the recital of elegant dulness. Mr. Bern', coneiderectas an actor, doth not, nGr *ll ke ever, possess those rare qualifications that can lead an actor to professional greatness ; although he is so still studied in the histrionic art, that a liberal auditor must approve him, where the mere oPerations !of study can be intuential. His figure is tolerably well proportioned, but his countenance is too rotund to be completely obedient to the varying' interests of expression. There were scenes in which he elicited some original fire, particularly in the fourth act, when 'he enters, abruptly, upon the shrieks of his !mother, Taira, and exclaims-- • e Who calls on Achilles, Barbarossa r Attire ate?" • In the art of public speaking (and a truly important art it is) Mr. Baur is certainty a greater adept than a very great majority of those Performers.who are ger. milted to lead the van, in tragic parts, without being properly qualified for the due utterance of their ea tive language ; and as even those very few who are qualified, have vainly endeavoured to gain a species of notoriety, by a hardihood in verbal errors, for ' which they merit open castigetion ; we must, on be flail' of the much-injured prosody of the laud, beer Our testimony in favour of this Gentleman, who dotb eot annoy the general ear wiliest vile and vulgar sub , stitution of sounds, that are equally hestile to the demands of usage, politeness, and the irou injunetious of grammar. As we have laboured much, and with some effect, in opposing this modish abuse of 'words, it is our earnest desire to chain down the public attention to any prominent instance of propriety that may oc cur ; and we do it more especially on the part of Mr. Bern, as we perceived a sort of spirit work ing, both secretly and openly, against him, in that fiery auditory, where a silent acquiescence was given to Mr. &MU, when he was most ridiculously (and he must pardon us for the epithet) mispro. nouncing room, for Rome ; cliches, for aches; birds, for beards, etc. &c. arc. Now, shall a want of common indulgence be manifested towards Mr. Barry, within the walls of that Theatre, where i such an uncommon portion of it was allowed in favour of a Gentleman, whose erudition forbids us to believe in any other way than that he was singe ; tarty false to his own knowledge, and most porting. : I•ciously wrong, It is a sort of admitted maxim, which the web of society take up, without examination, that taste is a principle of thought, which cannot be disputed ; yet them is nothing more clear, than that there is a good and's< bad taste, and: we conceive that it would be rendering the world a great and essential service to make it sensible of this distinction. That Author, who hath penetrated more deeply than all others into thiresessesof tholsessan heart, lath said, that there Is a point of perfection to be attained in works of art, 'es of goodness or maturity in the , operations of nature, and that he who cannot perceive that distinction, or who esteems or applauds what is be low it, may be said to have a vitiated taste, and that Ms intellectual faculties are not to be envied. Mt there not deplorable instances exhibited every day, in our Metropolitan Theatres, of the prevalence of a false taste, by the indulgence of which mankind seem to concur, as ifthey were predermined to cnan• teract the purest designs of science and polite art I ; 'Do not the public, nightly, forego the finely acted, ' and classically decorated Drama of The Tempest .
