I - treeral of the petty northern Mahratta Rajahs, ' CID are hostile to Scindea, and conceive the present gcasion favourable to throw off his yoke. Fresh disturbances have broken out at Cabul, sad the deposed Prince has been murdered in an attempt made by his . partisans to resaue him from ;be fort in which he was confined. The spirit of iosurreFtion has extended into several of the Persian pr ovinces. A Gottenburgh Mail arriled, yesterday, with letel!igence from that city to the 19th, from Co penhagen to the 12th, and Russia to the sth inst. Our frigates command the passage of the Sound, Ind do not suffer any neutral vessel to pay toll to she Danes, whose resentment against thee country does cot appear to have in any degree subsided. The " Robbers" is the epithet which they use when apealing of the English. General Pelotas has ken removed from the Government of Copenhagen. sad Prince FUEDENICIL of Hess; is appointed in his plat. It was reported at Gottenburgh, that he and s everal other officers have been brought to trial. Bralioau was re.vidlualled in Cidlober ; but as the Paris rape's informed us that all differences had been finally arranged between the two Powers, the }reach troops have probably entirely evacuated the A.,•rran territory. French Ambassador, General SAVARY, mares a splendid figure at St. Petersburgh, and at mods the EuPERCIII at all his parades. The latter bad returned to that chy early in this month, from a review of his troops. Pt ivate leuers from Cron sudt, of the 4th, state it as the general opiniod'in St. retersburgh, that the Emperor ALLlaliDia was maw incensed by the attack on Copenhagen, and the seizure of the Danish fleet, and would declare war itgair this country in the spring. Appearances, however, did not eacourage this rumour, as nearly fifty sail of British vessels were taking in cargoes at St. retersbnigh. The Russian naval force at Cronstadt consists of sixteen sailot the line, and one hundred and twenty- five gun-boats. Tue army has been recruited, and consists of :Scut 175,000 men under the command of Gener.l filluoevnaw. The French army in Poland and Prussia is still very LomideraYle. The recal of the Spanish Ambassador from Pe trtsblugh is a►criued to his having neglected to pay sufficient respect to the French party in that capital. The report of an armistice between France and Sweden, is repeated in the Swedish papers. lb b 0- Yesterday morning His MAJESTY, Princesses Au evst#, Am cur A, and Maar. accompana by La cks Ecv, Wacososott, and Caarti.sv, and Gen.

The 'smircfe with which she introduces the air of " Drink to me ouiy w‘th thine ryes," and her transition to " shepihrd once had tort his loot," displayed such a happy con ception, united to felicity of execution, as called forth the most unbounded plaudits. Her toast, " Here, Sir, Mar the King." was received with enthusiasm. Mr. &tummies Mirosie, has been always considered one of his best performances ; he never displayed more vivacity or pleasantry than on this occasion. The part of Mir-abet may be consi sidered as the original from which our modern dramatists have drawn their Dori-mirth Br!- court, &c. and although wetgive them all due cre dit for the superior chasity of their designs. congenial with the taste of the present time, yet we cannot but regret that a little more of Cie richoess of the original has not been preserved. Although it was only Mr. ELLisrom's first peiformance of the part of Mead. he could do no more than make it ' a finished portrait of the characters we have men tioned, and in which he so much excels.
