WE thank the Morning Post for advertising • this Paper—that is to say, we would do so, in gra.. tank, if we stood in need of any thing to lift up , this paper in public estimation.

Several ships ' atlas with grain, arrived within the last two dayit From ,Embders, under date of the 26th of last imonth, we learn, that the intelligence from South Holland was Unfavourable, that all colonial prow duce beyond. the Matte had been seized, and that the unfortunate Louts had been ordered again to repair to Paris. The expectations entertained by the Court of St. Petersbnrgh of .a vigorous co-operation on the part of th4Servians against' the Turks, have been completely disappointed.

It appears that Sett.tis must have mink a most violent thrust with the sabre at the•Duko as he was attempting to escape, for pirt of dui frame of the dupe is cut away : but it seems rather 'to have been done by a lunge than by a blow, as the point of the sabre is bent. - The body of Salute svai bowled yesterday morn. ing at one o'clock, in Scotland Yard, in the hills *ay towards the Thames, - about two yards before the door of the Egg-warehouse. , Tickets and Shares arc selling in-great variety at both of llisn's Old Established Offices, 4 ) Cum. hill, And it, Charing-cross, where Twelve Capi. tals were 'shared in the last Lottery, and Eight in the preceding, including Three Prises of 20,00 W.

The maiden speech of the Marquis of T.tvi. STOCK is universally talked of as the most ani mated first essay made in Parliament for many years. It was recommended by the most ingenu ous modesty, and ycit by the just influence of mind bursting through the diffidence of an tni. assuming nature. 'thud simplicity of style with justness of thought, and Was rendered peculiarly interesting by the feeling which it breathed fur the rights and for the happiness of mankind.

By the Mississippi, 'arrived' in the Clyde, Charlestown Papers are received to the 12th of April; inclusive. Thy do not bring down the intelligence from the seat of Government to a later date than the New York Papers. The private letters all agree in representing the state of the public mind to be much more favo ur. ably disposed , to this country than it was some time ago. They likewise expresi an old. nion, that the Nun-Intercourse Bill will ter.' minute on the 23d of April, when Congress • ad joerns. Much impatience is expressed for the ar. Pal of the John Adams, from Europe; but that vessel did not leave the French coast till the 22d ofl April. When BONAPARTIeS Decree or the 12th of March reaches Ameries, it will effectually si.

Last nightt4te season at this Theatre commenced for the performance of the English Opera. The first liiece was the Comic Opera of Love in a Village, in which several new Performers made their appearance before it London audience. Mr. Put Li PPS sustained the part of Young Afea. Mows with his accustomed ability. Mr. Dowrox, in Justice Woodcock, was, i 4 a degree, what he has been in the same character heretofore, namely, meritorious, but licentious. Considering the weight of talent that this Come. dian can bring into the act& of competition, whenever he chooses to be just to his Author, nod himself, it is surprizing that he should be Inclined _to indulge himself in those exuberancies of action and expression, which not only tend to diminish his immediate professional reputation, but aro likewise injurious to the dignity of the Drama Re was not dressed like a Country Magistrate, but a Charlatan : and the repeated violations that 'he committed upon the letter of the author were highly reps diens; ble. Notwithstanding the res. pect that we (generally speaking) entertain for his understanding and his ability, we never will sub. scribe to those scenic debasements, in mien and ozpressiou, which aro so derogatory to the repu. tation of a London Theatre. The part of Hodge was played by a Mr. Tea. PIN, from the Theatre Royal, Liverpool, who acquitted himself with considerable ability. 'Pie young Lady, who made her first appear. ante in Jtoietta, acquitted herself very satisfacto. rily ; she looked the part well ; she sang with some taste and she spoke it with feeling and effect. Mrs. ILEN LEY, in Deborah Woodcock, was s tolerable substitute for Mrs. Spiels; and Mrs. 'fintrlN, in Mudge, supplied the absence of Mrs. BLAND. The popular Farce of Ili( or Miss followed, is which the most noticeable circumstance was th e performance of Dick Cypher, by Mr. Met.stx. The eccentricity and imitative pleasantries of Mr. MATHEWS in this character, made the, assumption . of it by any other Actor a eirentnstatice of much .peril as to 'fame': yet Mr. hist.vist, without being a mere copyist, contrirt•tl to keep the audience in gotid humour, without out material sacrifice of his theatrical renown. Mr. Tv LIMN succeeded Mr. JOHNSTONE ie the character of 0' Rourke 0' Daisy ;: . aud (consi. dering the disadvantages which the substitute of that inimitable actor milWjlicessarily labour un. der) wept through the character with much ease and spirit. Miss E. BOLTON performed Cliaro Sterling, foe the drat time, with cheracter3stic delicacy ;. aott Miss KELLY performed Dotty 0' Doisy,-ag the substitiite for Mrs. BLAND, with less injury, oa comparison, than might hare *en expected. V AUXIIALL. This delightful scene of polite and rational amuse. ment was opened last nigh t,for the first time this see. son,with a sptendidGala in honour of his Masts ex's Birth-day. The Gardens never appeared in such splendour, as many important and judicious im. provements have been made since last season. Au additional colonnade surrounds the whole, within that which was formerly erected, and a now wag. nificent portico is raised in front of the Pnrocs's Pavillion, which attracted universal admiration 'from its brilliant appearauce. On the top were the PRINCE of WALes's- Feathers illuminated with variegated lamps, and in various parts of the Gar• dens were the letters G. R. formed in the same man ner. "Long live the KING," was placed over the Orchestra. The Concert was heard with much ,delight, and Mrs. BLAND, Miss FERON, Mies ACRES, Mr. TERRAIN and Mr. Thenum, wow rapturously applauded in several excellent new songs. Bet Ween the first and second acts , a O 1 W piece of machinery, representing a romantic lend. scape, was exhibited, and gave the highest tads. faction. , A bridge scene vat displayed, over which were seen passing in succession, troops of cavalry and infantry, waggohs, mail coaches, fa mad bull pursuing a man on horseback, a Milli Lady riding a donkey, with John whipping be., hind on foot, and a number of other figures, which appeared eitremely natural. The evening was concluded with a brilliant display of fireworks. Among the company were some of the principal Members of Payliament, aid a number of persons of distinction. Sir pA yip'BAIRD attracted par.. ticular notice. The Proprietor deserves tench praise for thy' exertions he has made to accommodate and gratify the Public. The new impruyentents ittd decors.. tions have occasioned an expeaCe of several than. sand pounds. Yesterday, the diipatches for the Lprd Keith, Monarch, Earl Spencer, Lariiiss, Batavia, Tyne, and &be, were finally closed ott the Eat India.house, and delivered to their respectlve Par. stirs; being the last ships of the season.
