I ~_ J -~ that if the proposed measure were carried into effect, every thing which the Proprietors had a right to expect remold be conceded by the creditors , . The burden of kir song, however, was money ; unless money were raised the establishment would lie • Helen log upon their hands. If the Meeting wished to continue the Committee they would use their utmost effort, to farimed the (+Hirt, in view ; - lent whatever was done must be done with dispatch. It was imminent that whoever rented the theatre Anemia heist it plated limier his control as -curly as possible, in order In prepare for the ensitiog season. All olueparties concerned ought now to mike com mon caws, in forwarding the Interests of the esta blishment. 1k was ready to give arty further infor mation to city lady or genilenuin who required it. It was then moved end carried, that the Report should he confirmed, and that the Committee should sit again, with the exception of the gen ',emelt who had not attended during the last week. The Committee were empowered to fill tip the vas cancels reused by the removal of the gentlemen who had alweetted themselves. On the motion of Mr. Routes, Lord Yarmrenth baying sent set apology for his absence, was con tinted on the Committee. Mr. Roam said, it was now the duty of all parties to set their shoulders to the wheel. and eit elenvour to retrieve the establishment from its diffi culties. Ile regretted the absence of the Noble Lord-, seed other !lon. Gesetleturo, who were in the habit of sotending to the interests of Theatre. Those g entlemen owed it to themselves to come firwierd end contribute largely to the advancement I f the propowd measure. The Committee hail contributed 100 gnineas each, and. if they were seconded by the Proprietors, they were reedy to ineke still further advauees. Sir 'l'. Tewrots supported the suggestion of the Committee. The Proprietors hail a choice of two evil-; either they most make a comparatively small sacrifice at present, or else they must give up the eststilisitment altogether. The former was, lie con ceived, the more advisable measure. 11 the re commendetion of the Committee was carried into effect, it would relieve the concern from all the dif ficultwe kith which it was now weighed down. Mr. 'tomes observed, that any Proprietor might iti.en the subscription paper for any sum they pleased ; and gentlemen must understand, that un less the theatre was let, they would not be called upon for the mousy. A I'roprirtnr ingvested the propriety of having the peeled for receiveng tenders for taking the es t.elelisliment fired for the 10th of July. Mr. CA ICRAFT if the Proprietors bad no roof donee in the Committee, a motion of thts sort vould be veer/wary ; for himself, be lens anxious to yet ill of his settemlance in the Committee, but if the interests of the establishment required it, 1w could remain to tl.e 20th of July, or even a much I leer period. Toe names of the members who su'useribed 100 r • .aa runt were then read. l'hey were—Mr. t %Orr eft, Sir T. Tinton, Mr. Dongles. Mr. Perry. PIN 1 ronmotegrr, Al r. Ellis, Mr. Robins, Mr. Wil son, Mr. Alderman World, and Mr. Lindley. A Proprietor requested that the offers for renting the theatre should be read. Mr. CAI CRAP'? objected to this, as iujurions both to the parties who made tenders, and to the Pro prietors. Ile said, lee was of opinion that no agree sneitt should be closed without the consent of a public meeting of the Proprietors. It was asked if the Sob-Comtuittee had resigned ? Mr. Cetcteir - replied in the affirmative. The lion. Gentlemen' then read a letter from the Sub- Committee, dater! the 48th May, in which they stilted that they had swot in their resignation to the Secretary, in order to afford the General Committee less opportouity of adopting whatever measures they pleased for the relief of the establishment. Thr subscription list was then handed round. Mrs. IIuTLER asked if the sum to be subscribed was to form put of the old stock ?—(4 lough.) Mr. eaten/are answered that it was not; the :novel advanced was to be new stuck. Mrs. IletLett, in signing her name for 251. ex. pressed her sorrow that she had not so large a purse as some of the Noble Lords who used to attend the Meetings of the Theatre. If she were able to do so, she would subscribe ten times the sum she now cis I, for the sake of poor old Mr. Sheridan, whose memory she wee &Axiom' to preserve. Where, now, etre the Noble Lords who formerly attended those Meetings ? They attended when the establish- Silent ass a state of prosperity, but they desert ed it iu its distress. Mr. Pruett said, it was absolutely necessary that the tistratloll 011011141 be put, whether the 11leeting slid o r did riot intend to subscribe to the proposed measure. It was impossible to expect that any siAreetweet could Ise eatered into for letting the theeere, unless tbeie was a confidente that the frubccieln.ro would come forward; and unless they del come f•irroard promptly and efficiently. the • sentslishiseent must oink altogether.—(ilear.hear.)

Juin' 14, 1819• Paris Papers of Wednesday and Thursday last have arrived at our Office. The official columns of the Moaitear contain a copy of the law relating to the Journals, which was enacted by the Legit,la tore of France during the present Session. This law is expressed iu very plai t s and succinct terms, and consequently cannot fail of being perfectly in telligible to the plainest understandings. Indeed, in this respect, the legislation of France-far excels that of our own country, and if we were not too vain of our merits, might teach us a very useful lesson. It is imj►ossible. in reading one of our modern statutes, not to smile at the perverse efforts the legislator makes to obscure his meaning in a maze of words; nor is it less an object of astonish ment how a Gentleman of good understanding and cultivated mind, can, when he undertaker to em body the wishes of Parliament, choose to express himself in language so uncouth, perplexed, and barbarous, that it becomes a matter of no small difficulty to discover his meaning; whereas, if he were on his own account to give to the country the benefit of his studies and reflections on any other subject, no matter how intricate or abstruse, his language would be precise and elegant, and bear so just a relation to hie thoughts. that no doubt could be entertained of their force and import. A French statute is divided into articles or clauses, each of which is couched in such terms as would be Used in si accurate statement of any ordinary sub. ject, and the commands of the Legislature are ad dressed to the people in the same language as they are accustomed daily to read and hear, and which is the familiar and custornstry channel of mental communication. The celebrated Marshal Bou,t•T arrived in Paris on Wednesday evening. He seems to have loot no time in taking advantage of the KING% clemency. jt will be seen in our extracts from the Paria Papers, that the navy of France is silently advanc e ing to a very formidable condition. It consists al together of 1146 ships of war, among which are Mt ships of the line and 010 frigates, and to these 11 ships of the line and four frigates, slow building, will soon be added. In point of numbers this navy, we believe, equals that which Great Britain has pow in commission. We are far from wishing to excite a jealous feeling in this country towards France, but we would, from the facts now *toted, direct the public mistd to the necessity of cultivatinA our naval force its preference to a standing army, which is at once dangerous to our civil institutions, and • ti lOU eISICUISIeiI thus our navy , t„ of s f r o reign war, to lie of any eroenti,il service to this country. A certain General lletateu, who bed in the year INI6 been condemned to death par contrmirt, on a charge of basing #ll a nrecerlingyenr 1..0ed a Proclamation at Nantes in favour of IiON 1•4 al E. was again tried before a Council of War at burg on the Stlo of tliis month. 11e admitted having issued the Proclismati .. . but pleaded the commAnfls of the Secretory :ft 'Wm AN 1 , 1% 0.14664'11. tiOn• The plea 11,14.1 admitted, nod ilia foloter sen tence annulled. General MORAN° is fortunate iu Roving been utile to take advafftage of the varying temper of die times; for had lie been preseut in 1816, when the merits of his case ere under con sideration, there is little rause to doubt that his plea of obedience to the %War Minister W4411(1 Hot have been considered u justitication• of rebellion against his actual Sovereign.

The Wasp, 18, Captain Cartstn, and Serapis, convalescent ship, Lieutenant JAcasort. arrived at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the Sib and 9th May : the former sailed again for liavaunali.

The 4handance, fur St. Helena, and Erne, for the coast of Africa, arrived at Madeira on the 13th ultimo. The Spey, fisr the Mediterranean, arrived at Cad's on the 14th ult. The Lee arrived in Charleston Roads on the Ist of May, to claim three British seamen (then in Charleston gaol) who bad been induced to roer on board the pirate vessel Sir Thomas Hardy, when that pirate plundered the Louisa. A letter from Colombo, dated November 99, says—" Upwards of SOO men and more than 30 officers fell victims to the climate, during our late war with the Kandyans. Many men lost their lives from the bites of leeches, which swarm in the jungles; 25 men of she lads Madras regiment have lost a leg each from the bite of this disagreeable and troublesome little animal, which, in spite of every precautioa, will make its way into your boots, or un der your clothes. whilst marching during the night. Four of the State Prisoners (Chiefs in the rebellion) were sentenced to die ; but lfappimpola and Ma able only have buffered. Their beads were struck off by two blows; their behaviour was manly and cool. The Governor (General 13nowtintoG) having at length restored peace to the island, has issued several Proclamations respecting the future government oS.the Ka►►dyan territories; ; one of which contains the following clause : " It is also directed, that• oa nutria( the Hall of Audi. care, every person shall wake olosieastre fa the POrfrod of his Majesty, there essepentlei ; and as well there as iii soy OW Courts of Justice to, the presiding Authority." Oa Wednesday afternoon the Forth frigate, Captain Sir Joni T. Louts, Bart. arrived at Portsmouth from the North American station, last from the Chesapeake, where (at Anapoli.) she em barked his Excellency the 4.ight HOW. CHARLES BAGOT. who hod been about three years and a half Ambassador to America, Mrs. Bogor and three children, and Mr. Huctt•es, Private Secretary, who landed on Thursday morning, under en appropriate salute, and immediately set off for London.—Mr. G. Arresoatts has been left at IYalliington, as Charge d'Affaires, Witil a successor to Mr. Baoor arrives out. Mr. BAGOT. we understand, has tilled his important diplomatic situation with peat advan tage to Isis country, and most highly to the satis. faction of the American Government and people, who deeply regretted his departure from America. We understand the Commissioners (British and American) for ascertaining the boundary line, ex pect to end their labours in October. They ire go i n g o n in the most satisfactory manner. In most all the cases of difference of opinion. the points in dispute were conceded in favour of this country. The conduct of the American peo ple, of all geodes, at Washington and Anapolis, to the officers and crew of the Forth, whilst she lay in the Chesapeake (twtivc days), discovered the most amicable and friendly disposition. Not a day passed without invitations being sent off to our Officers to attend at some public dinners or entertainments, produced fur the occasion. The United States' frigate Essex, Captain HENLEY, and the Ositarie sloop of war, Captain BIDDLE, were lying in the IChessitrOce. The Officers of the Fora' gave a dinner to the Captains and Officers o f these vessels. The Essex was under orders to take the American Ambassador (Mr. Gwatiatt), to Rio Janeiro, and thence to ,proceed to the China Seas, to cruise for two years. The object of her visit to these seas was tinderstuoil to be more intended for the exercise end experience of the Officers and men, than Alf any snore important purpose.— I Not less then two-thirds of the crew of the Essex were 4 lititilh seamen who had become American subjects. by the weal form of legislative protection.

The Cape Town Gaulle of the 13th contains a pro clamation of martial law in those districts where the rebellious Cares were then caroling on their depredations. It oppeare, however, by the same pa per of the 20th, flint a speedy prospect existed of these marauders being reduced to submission, or driven across the frontiers. The extent of the in surrection itself seems to have been exaggerated ; it was begun in the first instance by three chiefs, named SA MBIE, CONGO, and LYNX, of subordinate note, hut one of the most powerful of them, named Iltx3s, kept aloof during the aggressions. and took eare to convey to the Governor assurances of his peaceable disposition. The rebellions party, with the whole of the plunder they kid collected, had concealed themselves in a thick wood ; a strong force was immediately sent against them, and there was every reason to expect that the next post would give a good recount of them. A great scarcity of wheat existed at the Cape, in consequence of which the Governor, Lord CHARLES SOMERSET, lord is sued a proclamation, requiring the farmers and others to make a return of the stock on hand, in ore • der to husband. the resources of the colony.
