Wednesday last, being the Anniversary of the Birth of our Sover,ign, and the completion of his ilfh!l year, the same was observed on hoard His Majesty's ship Illenbeim, at sun-rise, by 4 display of the Imperial Standard at the main, the Union at the fare. and the Dag of his Excellency Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Trowbridge, at the mizen. At noon, a Bela' Salute was fired from the ramparts ; and in the evening a Ball and Supper were given at the Government House. So numerous or elegant an a'semhlage of beauty and fashion, we believe, ne ver tell to the lot of the Island before ; as, except in some instances, where indisposition prevailed, the whole force of attraaion was displayed, enriched by the late at rivals from Europe. At about half past eight, the sprightly dance commenced, and was kept up with much spirit and vivacity, occasionally heightened by fandangoes and sarabands. performed with great ease and good humour, by some of the gentlemen of the suite of their Excellencies the Governors of Macao and Timor. The cqmpany, about 140 persons, filed off, at about twelve o'clock, to the supper table, where the eye was saluted with a most sumptuous display of the choicest viands, and every delicacy the Island affords, assisted by the supplies just received from Old England. The table, on this occ.ision, was laid out, in the avenue leading from the Government House to the water stele, which was highly illuminated, and de corated with the flags of all nations ; towards the centre we could utscern the .old siandard, under which were seated the Honourable the Governor, with the Members of the Council And their Ladies, togethe r with their Lxcellencies the Portugue,e Go vernors. His Excellency Sir Thomas Trowbridge retired at an early hour. During supper, a number of loyal toasts were given, accompahied with appropriate music, per formed by the band of the Bien itne ; alter which, the company returned to the ball-room, where the dance was resumed, and continii-d till s.early two o'clock ; when the company reared, highly grati fied with the hospitable entertainments of the evening. BATH, M•KCH 29. PRIVATE CURKr seuNDENcE. We have had several meetings lately, respei9ing a Subscription Public Brewery, something similar to the one recently established in London ; but, afer various adjournments from inn to inn, the scheme has at last fallen to the ground. The principal cause of the plan being laid aside, at least for the present, was a proposition made by a very respeecl able tradesman, that the Committee of Manage ment shnuld consist of twenty-one members, and that no memhrr should be deemed eligible to that situation, unless in the aftual posses-in of forte thousand pounds, or 2001. a-year freehold property. The proposers of the original plan thnnght the qualificatinn sum to, high ; of course, they st,e nuously opposed it ; and the consequence was, t e proposer, ind all his friends, withdrew their names immediately. Mrs. Siddons has been very attraaive at the' Theatre, and has made herself hignlr popular herej by sr , luntarily offering to give Readings tc.r the be nefit • t the Pueroeral Charity, wh.ch, I understand, is rat' cc in a declining state. Ars. Metcalf kindly gave up tier house, in Marlborough-buildin fsr the put pose ; but their good intentions could nit be car ried into effeft, as oar Magistrates, very properly, I think, always set their faces against any kind a public performance daring Passion Week ; they will not even permit Orwories to be brcught for- ward. Mrs. Siddons, however. genernusly gave five guineas in .ie of the said excellent Charity That elegant promenade, Sidney Gardens, opens to-morrow, for the season. Mr. Gale, the spirited renter, has been making various improvements, and, no doubt, will be liberally rewarded S I cauthdAtes are mentioned for the late ti;r Edward Marington's situation in the Corporation ; among whom, Mr. Lye, Surgeon Tudor, aid Mr. Dimond, are named. No place of Public Amusement so deservedly items the public favour, as the Amphitheatre, West. minster-Bridge. The efforts of genius and inven tion, in the Grand Balla of 48ion, called Jociry and Jenay, never appeared to better advantage. Mr. CRUSSiIAN and Mrs. PARKIR's stile of letting and dancing in this Ballet, is excellent. The New Pan tomime, called Hark quit; and Maher llancb, gains m ere and more en the town each night it is tepre tented. The Scenery, Machinery, Dresser, and Music. attached to this Ern-dent Pantomime, sum sfently prove the Manager's claim to universal pro teaion and patronage. 'Pie Grand Equestrian Introdnaiteu, by Messrs.P ,Caosssi AN,SaitTli s Davis, and their excellent 'troop, must be seen to be credited. There are on the stage, when the curtain rises, Ten beautiful Horses, richly capa risoned ; also Eight in the ring, including the whsle of the Hiders. The Pandean Band of Mu sicians, accompanies the various quick 'manoeuvres, during which, the Amphitheatre is in one conti nued burst of applause. The author of " The Milk ries of Human Life" would have better merited public attention, had he recommended his gloom-struck patients to make an effort, on every inviting opportunity, to surmount their miseries. For example—could lie find no cheering prospea to his melancholy tribe for curing the various ills of an humble purse, in such a Lot tery Scheme as is now almost en the eve of draw ing ? a Scheme which so uncommonly abounds with prizes of 20,0001. 10.0001. 5,0001 fitc. &c. People who are posimonious, like to keep money in their possession till the last moment of exigency ; and it has always been minas iced, that, when the Dividends are paying at the Bank, such individuals open their purse-strings, and make trifling speculations. They will, however, lose all the advantage that may be derived from the Tick ets in the CITY FKILEHOI.O Lo'l'l'lllll ; int. Imlose the 10th initant, it is tolerably evident, that there will not be one for sale ; as the price ha; already risen to M. 10s. and the drawing will take place on tho I A I. . _ 7"'"; .. ...

To the Senate and Hour, of Representatives of the United States. Agreeably to the retattest of the House of Repre sentatives, communicated in their Resolution of the 1 nth inst. I procerd to state. under the reserve therein expressed, information received, touching an illegal combination of private individuals agninst the peace and safety tat the Union. and a =lila: y expedition planned by them against the territories of a power in amity with the United States, with the measures 1 have pursued for auppreising the same. I bad, foe some time, been in the constant era pedation of receiving such further information as would have enabled me to lay berme the Legiela tore, the termination, as well as the beginning and progress, of this scene of depravity, so far as it has been abed on the Ohio and its waters. From this. the state of safety of the lower country might have been estimated on probable grounds, and the delay was indulged the rather, because no circumstance had yet made it necessary to call in the aid of the Legislative fueltions. Information now recently communicated, has brought; u. nearly to the pert -el contemplated. The mass of what I have received in the course of these transaftions is voluminous; but little has been given under the sandion of an • oath, so as to constitute formal and legal evidence. !tit chiefly in the form of let:ers, often containing such a mixture of rumours, conjedures, and sus pioions, as render it difficult to sift out the real fadti. and unadvisable to ,haz trd more than general out lines, strengthened by concurrent inGrmation, or the particular credibility of the relator. la this state of the evidence. delivered sometimes under the resuiaion of private confidence, neither safety tear justice will permit the exposing names, except the: ' of the principal ader, wnose guilt is placed beyond coestion. Some time in the latter part of September, I re ceivtd intimations that deigns were in agitation in the Western Coentry, unlawful and unfriendly to the eeace of the Union : and that the prime mover in these was Aaron Barr, heretofore diatinlu,shel by the favour of his couatry. The grounds of these intimations being inconclusive, the uojeas un certain. and the fidelity of that eouinry known to be firm, the only measure taken, was to urge the it:- torments to use their best endeavours to get Wither insight into the designs and proceedings of the sus pected persons, and to communicate them to me. It was not till the latter Nit of ()Sober that the objets of the conspiracy began to be perceived, but Safi aci b!erided and involved in my.tery, that no thing disund could be *taxied nit for puw.w.

By this time it was known that many beats were under pi epara. lion, stores of provisions colieding. and an unusual number of suspicious cliarafters in motion on the Ohio. and its waters. &sides dispatching the con fidential agent to that qiiarter, orders were at the same time sent to toe Guest 4,1 tie Orleans and Mississippi terri,ories, and to tint Coin:handers of the land and naval forces there, to be on their guard against surprise, and in constant readiness to re sist any enterprise which might be *.tempted cn the ve•-4 , poets. or other objefts under their ; and, on the Bth of November, instruaions were forwarded to General Wilkinson, to hasten an accommodation with the Spanish Commandant on the oanine ; and, as lOW as that was effected, to 4..41 back with his principal force to the hither bat k of the Mississippi, for the defence of the interesting points on that river. By A letter, received from that officer, co the 25th of November, but dated Oa. 21,t. we learned, that a conaiential egret of Aaron Burr had been deputed to him well corn raunications, partly written in cyphe., and patty oral, expleihilig his designs, exaggerating his re sources. mid, making tech okers of eitioltiment and command, to engage him and the army in hi: unlawful enterprise, as he had flattered hiassell would be successful.
