Bu, Bo tr ?Aire has not confined himself to the violation of the Prussian territory, of which Anspach is a parr, having been purchased by the King of Plus. sea, from the NI Ait au AVE, who, since the sale, has resided in this country. He has caused Two ▪ MIRISTRIII, with their r out SLCRETAILIRS of LIGATION, ORR COUSSCELOR of Sem., and a Cit•tos o'Arra is es. to be arrested at Stutgard, where they were kept in close custody, and all access to them was denied. The diplomatic characters thus arrested, are not named. but they are, probably, the Mioisters of Austria, Russia, an-I England. The order for this purpose was issued by BON•P ARIZ, from Louisburgh. on the night between the 2d and 3.i instant. Stn ord. and it vicinity, were, at this filled with French troops. A corps of 8,000. ointcr General Nay, had enterid that city a few .I..vs before. These new crimes and aggressions • ilt snake, upon the King Jr: PRUSSIA. an im -ton unfavourable to the French cause ; but, • r all the provocation which he has already pa •'y horns, we cannot be sure that they will !..rce niin from his neutrality. Some persons, in ch el, assert, that His Noss: As MAJESTY declared s • would, 1,1 consequence, allow a free passage to t kissiait troops through his dominions, and .a.it.be stroari not in any way oppose the entrance t'•e allied forces into Hanover. This, how. • .Is a snare speculation, hazarded without the slightest foundation, but what is to be found our extraas from the foreign papers.—Among these will be found the " Arpotiti of fht eiremotaaacet that have :uiclf 4 Me maga of nit Serene Highness i.e £ltdor of BAVARtA, eleievercof so rim Act of Ralisbon." It is a very interesting and important State raper. The defettiou of BAVARIA from the Chief of the Em*e, is. by no means without precedent, either on the part of the present EleCtor or his ane.-stors Independent of what nccnrred last tear, it has been the general policy of the Ell:Clots of BATARtA, to adhere to France. In the gran,' confederacy against Louts XIV. of which Eng Lad was the heal, the EleAor of filsvaefa, almost with a degree of infatuation, identified his own, with the fortunes of that Monarch, and was his ce:v ally,• when he suffered that signal and terrible de feat, on the plains of Blertheiya. We have also reesaved Paris Papers to the fish, and Dutch Journals to the I Pith. Sot; APARTC left Louisburgh on the 4th, and his head-quirters were to be at Nordiingen on the .sth. These P.tpers abound ►ah accounts of the movements of the arrni.n in Germany, which is dell and unintereaing• trash to trace. The first division of the Russian Army passed the Moravian'territory about the Ist instant, and was expelled to entirely cross the Danube before the 9th.

Last night. the admirable corned; of 7 - h; of lie Worlil was performed, and Mr. COOKE never displayed greater ability than in the part of Sir Peeling's Mdrayrothant. Mr. CNAILLS Kessaxe and Miss BRUNTON supported the parts of Ezertoo and Consenotio, and wre very well received ; but the grand attraCtion was, a new Grand Romantic Drama, intitlect uodot , no ; or, 'The Bears If Venire. —lt is Mr. Lewes's novel of The Seoro of Venice, dramatised. Mr. H..louesrom made his first ap pearance, after an absence of two years, in the pea of Rogonliso, tie Bravo, in which be as sumed five disguises ; and, whilst in the disguise of the Bravo, spreads desolation and terror through Vsoece, as the supposed murderer of the Prince of Milan, and several noblemen; he gains, as Rodoardo, the love of the beautiful llosaiello, the daughter of the Dade; saves the state; is the pro teCtor of the Drke's life; and obtains his consent to his marriage with the Princess, his daughter. He then claims her in his real charaitet, of Prince of Woo, which served to introduce him to the audience in a most splendid dress. He was extremely happy in the terrific rant and decla mation. as. the Brow*. and rot less so in the love scene wit% Resale/4 4 to which part Mrs. Gusts imparted all the interest that attitudi. isarian performance could bestow. Mrs. bi•r- TOCCS, as Camas, an antiquated waiting-woman, was mot superbly dressed ; and, in the Masque. ' assumed the costume of a Syren, which was well fancied, and brilliantly executed. Mr. Mutts av, as the Mae Vecce, was also splendidly dressed, and supported the part with dtgni t y. Th :re were conspirators, friars, nuns, Ste. &c. &c. to fill up the scene, and to give effeft to the Masque, which concluded the entertainment. The whole Heathen Mythology was introlnced, with all its embellishments lhe dialn7tie is h,tavy. The only att-mpts at wit were given to Mrs. MATTOCKS, and Mr. Lrrox, who was a ridiculous old man, is as unnecessary to the piece. as the waiting-woman. The music was dull, nor could we discern much novelty in it. The scenery is beautiful, end every exertion that liberality and taste could thane, has been made by the Managers, to !sting this piece fieward, with more than usual spleedottr. Mrs. (liens, in the concleding scene, excited in the audience much fear ; the aerial car, in which she was to take her flight, having met with some in terreption in its, progress. The house was crowded to an rwerfilw. As a Spertaele, the Rears will have many admirers. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Keel., Cause loos, and Sussex, the Earl and Cnnntess of HARRINGTON.

Viscount Pesa♦ had a soled party to dinner yes terday, at his house, Park-street ; amongst whom were the Hon. Nlr. and Mrs. Knox. The Author of The Assassins of de Forest, is en gaged in a new piece, to be called 7'ke Diseteery, a Drama, in five aas, taken from the celebrated Gothic story, The Old kailisoi Baron.

Yesterday. dam Fortesca ;r4:iftnt;;;;svere charged with stealing a valuable gild enamelled fa mily watch, set in diamonds, the property of a Lady of slistinifition and rank in Welbeck-street. The watch was stolen from her Ladyship's mansion in July last, at which period it was advertised. The Prisoner.

The watch was not heard of until Thursday evening, when the Prisoner, Feraro, was sent by the other Prisoner to pledge it for two guineas, at the shop of Mr. Underhill, in St. Giles's. The Pawnbroker was aware of the va lue of the article, and, from the mean appearance of she Prisoner, who said it WAS her own, suspetted dishonesty, and caused her to be secured. Lovett and Foy, officers, went to Fortescue's abode. in Smithfieid, where they found other valuable article; ; and they were informed by her that she had found the watch on Snew.hill. By the vigilance of these officers, the property was traced to its owner ; hut the Lady being absent at this examination, the Pri soners were remanded. Lord Hoon attended yesterday at the Admiralty.

On Monday, a boat was observed to be ran sell shore at Chatham, at a place little frequented, which excited suspicion, that goods, improperly come by. were in her. The boat was seized, anii found to contain a quantity of N teal Stores. The people made off when they found themselves disco vered, and got clear away. On Tuesday, upon information being given, that depredations, to some extent, on He Al *Jest. v's stores, were carried on at a warehouse. very secretly and conveniently situated fur such businee ; proper officers went to the Prince of Orange public home. at Chatham, and passing on to a building, at the back of that house, situated on the river side. they found it a receptacle for King's Stores of various kinds, and of large amount. A part of this build ing projected some distance on the bed of the river, and is supported by strong posts, driven into the mud. At high water, a boat easily passes between these supporters, under the floor of the building. In this situation, even at day time, the boat is scarcely seen. A trap d o or was discovered. loosely covered with yarn ; thjough this door the cargo is easily conveyed into the warehouse, and afterwards distri buted its vatfous conspartmetsts, the doors of which are so nicely fitted, as Armes' to elude a very rig,.
