LOSS OF TILE PALL 1S AND NYNIPIIE FRIGATES. EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF THE Rol' A l.s ) 10 A GENTLEMAN IN EDINBURGH, DATED " DUNBAR. Dtc. 19. " Our coast prcsenis a dreadful spectacle of the, wrecks of two fine Frigates, the Pallas, of 32 guns, and the Nymphs, of .16. The one a mile below Dunbar, and the other three miles further.— Coming up the Frith at half-past 10 last night, whets, as the rate of tett knots an hour, they both ran aground on the rocks, and exhibit a total wreck, the coast all strewed with beams, planks, casks, &c. Fortunately only seven or eight men have lost their lives in, both, who were brought ashore, and every Means in vain tried fur their recovery. Saw the First Lieutenant brought ont apparently dead, but after an hoar and a half, was so fur recovered as to be removed to the Duchess of Roxburgh's—now well. It was 11 this morning before a boat could go to their assistance, although within a cable's length of the shore ; and the life.. boat upset with 40 men in it, luckily only one wai drowned. Must of our regiment have been there all day, guarding the wrecks, and assisting as far as tliey could. The miserable appearance, of the half-drowned seamen, as they were carried on -shore, was truly deplorable. We have invited the Offi cers to come to,the barracks. None of them would dine to-day, but have promised 10-morruti. Al: though they had a Pilot on board, they mistook a limekiln burning •at Broxmouth, for the May • Light, and the May for the Bell Ruck." Another letter from Denbar,l of the same date, confirms the account. PLYMOUTH, Dcc. 22.

We hear that on Friday night his MAASTY was Feriously indisposed. His howels'were affected ; awl the consequence was a relapse of his disorder. Ministers were sent fer ; and Lord CAMInNy the Earl of LtvEttroot., &c. went to Windsor. Our R e aders trill o b serve with regret, that the Bulletin of yesterday gators his Majesty has nut recovered his former quiet. Th e E ar l o f Ijo i gnewey and Mr. PEECEYAL ar. rived at Windsor Castle on Saturday, a little before twelve o'clock, and remained there several hours. Yesti fiay morning her MAJESTY and the Pat cessus heard Divine Service in Windsor Castle. They afterwards went to Proginore. • Doctor BAiLLIE left Windsor for London yes. terday morning, hut is expected to return this'day. It is understood that Mr. PERCEVAI. will move his Regency. Bill early next week. It is stated in an article dated from the Turkish frontiers, that Russia will admit of no modification of the terms of peace formerly proposed to the Porte; which were the cession of the provinces on the left bank of the Danube, the total exclusion of English vessels from the Turkish ports, and the ac cession of the GUANO SLIGNOtt t 0 the " cc/ntittett tal • The Burni:tg Decree has been carried into effect with great ostentation at Bourtleaux, and we are told that w hile the property was exposed to the flames, " the peopie beheld with pleasure the exe cution of the law for the preservation of the sternal liberty of the seas, and for the maintenance of thg. sacred itgiits of civilized nations." Lucius BoNaPARTE is, we understand, to reside 'at Stonehouse, a seat belonging to the Earl of PoWts, situate four mitts from Ludlow, until Ly more flail, in blentgoineryshire, is fitted up for his, reception. The baggage of LUCIEN fotvapanrc and his at. (end.ints is stated to weigh 33 tons.

OPER.d. The King's 'Theatre *at opened on Saturday ;tight, with an Opera entitled Zuira, originally coin. p u se.l by the Chevalier Camino, for Madame Bin. TI :COTT', and who, now, in this Opera, midi: her debut in England. We feel much gratification in announcing Madame Rewrtworrt to our Readers. 'lf there be a genuine taste for the purity of lyric performance,' and knowledge to appurve of the ex. quisite simplicity which is the result of science (of which, however, if we were to reason from what has received the stamp of fashion, we might doubt) Madame Burris:um would be honoured with no ordinary welcome by the amateurs of her art. She has been bred in that true school, whieh aims at once to arouse the emotions and to satisfy the judgment of her, auditory. Without the daz. zling faculties which sorprize the ear, and by which the modern practice strives to exalt the powers of execution to the pinnacle of fame, she has the bet. ter and more valuableviality of searching the soul, and of stirring all the finest sympathies of our na. tore. tier voice has not the volume of CAT.% LA but by its silvery and magical !Otte, it fills the area ! of the *King's Theatre so as to make the most delicate nine distinctly audible ; and nothing could more truly prove the influence which she obtained over the hearts of the company, than the mute and perfect silence with which her cantabile was heard. She manifested, in the fine ate after awaking front the dream in which .her deceased father appears to her senses, such a comtnand over the passions of the audience, as we have rarely whitened from time powers of music. She has all the science of Mrs. BILLING,TON, with the sante happy ease, clearness, and articulation ; in her pathetic ihterance,•she re minds us of the style of PACCHJEROTTI, or rather of MARCHES!. She was honoured with unbounded Applause. TRANIOSEANI sang with his accustomed excellence. . Signora ANatowtst danced a pas de deux with her little pupil, Midettioliclle Mont, with much grace; and Master BYRNE / and Miss SMITE danced each a pas seal w►ti4 greAt effect ;. and at the Con. elusion of the Ballet these little characters executed a pas de deux, and were both most rapturously . • Signor Rosct, the Maitre de Ballet, and Signora A siatousit, , hid. the liberal kindness to express their pleasure at little BYRNE'S performative pub. Hcly before the Nobility. OPERA DISPUTE. . Agreeably to the advertisement, an Assembly of between sixty and seventy Noblemen and Gentlemen, Subscribers to the Opera, met at the Thatched House, on Saturday.—Lord BRUCE was again called to the Chair, when the Circular Letter of Mr. TAY. Lott was taken into consideration. The indecorum of the restrictions, as well as the demand of an in-' creased subscription of sixty guineas• to each . Box in the three principal tiers, Was the chief topics of complaint—connected with whicl+ was .the charge that Ladies of the ... first distinction had been dispos-1 seised of their Boxes, because they refused to com. • ply with the advance demanded. It was stated that Mr. TAYLOR hirriself had made it a positive accuse. tinti against his partner; Mr. G °ws, that he had unnecessarily raised the subscription from 180 to 210 guineas—and yet he now proposed himself a further advance to 300 guineas. Colohet '..;ltErtr.i,e, in the name of Mr. Wavcas (the other proprietor), de clared, that that Gentleman totally disapproved of the Circular Letter in every particular, and was perfectly satisfied with the subscription of 210 guineas,' which he.thought quite sufficient. In the end a Committee 'was appointed, and Res lotions come to, which arc as follow, and in consequence of which we have no doubt Mr. TAYLog wil find it his interest to withdraw hit claims : OPERA MEETING. At a Meeting held at Willis's, in St. James's-street, plittuant th Pulic Advertisement, this 22J Dec. 1810. Lord Baud« in the Chair ; The follnvi iug Resolutions were unanimously vated and car tied :- 1. That:: Committee he appointed to takr iatb consideration the circular letter of Mr. TA v Lott, and nt the same time to in- quire of Mr. TAYLOR, the grounds upon waich his restrictions and regulations there stated are brought torn aid, and also to call for the reason', why an advance of tac pi ice of admission was attempted; and that it he reemnineittled to the Subscribers not to pay the subscriptions until tl.e Commiltresliall have made their report : and it is the inciiiiinoin opinion of this Meeting, that if Mr. TA vLOR shonld not wait the firciA•ph of such Com mittee before he offers to Jet a. y box or boxes to any other than the original subscribers, tact an application shall he made; in the names of the Noblemen and Gentlemen here sisseinbled,tri the Lord Coainberlain, to recal the licence, which was only grinned no a supposition that the Opera was to be carried on ih the usual roamer. 2.

JOSEPH LANCASTER, Sec. Report says that articles of separation have been signed between a Nobleman of some political con sideration and his Lady.

This wet an action brought by the Plaintiff, a .hardwareroan, in .Ave Maria.l.ine, St. Paul's, to recover the value of some goods ,E;shl and delivered to the lift of Jones, Abbuti O 4'eti, Napier, and Cu. merchants, in Bucklersbury. After the goods Were delivered, the above partners, with the excep. (ion of Mr. Napier, who had qiiitted the concern, became bankrupts, and the Plaintiff now sought to rcenver the value of the goods he hatl sold, of the Defendant, on the ground that he had acted as a partner with Jones, Owen, and Abbot, previons to the bankruptcy, and at the time the goods in question mere delivered: The first witucss called *alt liamiltori, a clerk 10 the Plaintiff, who .proved the delivery of part of the goods in August, 1808, at the halm of Jones ant Co. and part at the Customhouse Quay, where they were sent by order of the purchasers, for exporta. Lion. Goods were also delivered in September, and the whole amount of the different deliveries was 3761. 14s. 11d: The principal witness Was gr. W. Birt, who proved that he had been introduced to the D.Aentlant by Jones, and that Mr. Gwinn not only said that he was a partner in the concern, but actually wurt with the witness and Jones to purchase goods of several tradesmen. The witness had introduced Jones and G winn to a clicesemonger, and in order Was given for a quantity of cheese. Jones described' winn at that time to be his" partner, and being asked fur a referenc', gave the namc of Mr_„... l l4o9Yea .at eke west end of the twin. Gitlin offered tti pay for the goods by a bill at Six months on Walsh 'and Nesbit. In various other transactions it ap. geared that Crwinsi had been concerned with tb6 . house of Jones, Owen, and Co. but having ground to suspect that his partnership with that aoneern would not be beneficial, he quitted them, And'or. tiered the goods which he had purchased to be sup. plied on his own lerarate account. The onli 'canes. lion in the cause was, whether the Defendant hail been considered a partner at the time the goods were deliteriA by the Pliintills? The Learned Judge was clearly' of opinion °idt a partnership *bad existed between the Defendant and Jones and Co. for a time, and he left the Jury I to say whether he was in the situation of a partner' in September, when the goods were supplial by the P:iintilf.
