His performawe of this arduous part, furnished a new proof of th,- great versatility and extent of his talents. An aetor, alternately supporting the first-rate parts of Tia gest, and Comedy, throtx,th all their varkty, excel lent in some, great in many, aal offeodinz in none, is a treasure seldom to he met with. The wt•Il-klowil a ddr•sc to the Senate, in the first aft. was given in a very impressive manner, and a peculiarly imposing frankness, well becoming a proud spirit and con scious innocence. We think, however, that if he had appeared less free, and evinced more respell for the Senate, he would have heightened the dignity and solemnity of the scene. In the succeeding scenes, iouhp suspicion, and all the torments of kalonsy. were pnurtrayed with great force and discrimina tion. The last scene was one of his most successful e troits. and his exertions, increasing with the interest of the piece, were crowned with the loudest ap plause. The gentle Derdemonn could not find a happier representative than Mrs. H. Sinooiss ; nor the shut t, but interesting, part of Ems is, be better filled than by Mrs. Powtt.l., who was impressive without violence, and, in the warmth of h-r feeling for injured innocence, never forgot the delic icy of her sex.—The house felt an 4 acknntele!ged the me rits of those ladies, by the loudest plaudit The house was not crowded, hut di played much fashion. The Marchioness of lira pro& r and Lady M. Tarim'', the Earl and Countess of liaise trtn- Tots, were in the brilliant circle. COVINT-OARDEN. Mrs. SIDDONS last night performed the part of Arm Beret-lea, in the Tragedy of Ths Gamester, with undiminished lustre. The domestic sorrows of Mrs. Bectrl.9 came home to the bosom of every female, and never produced more sympathy than last night. Yesterday morning, His MAJESTY, Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA. and ANCI.I A, rode on hor.e back in Richmond Park.

' . 1 j. - - - DIS7TIRLOWNS IN SPAIM (EXTIATCS ?ROM PRIV•Ti TTTTT NS.) LISION, SILPT. 19. Considerable disturbances have prevailed at M.t drid, on account of some bills on the Treasury, being dishononred, which were payable at sight. Against his irregularity the holders remonstrated ; but not obtaining any kind of satisfaCtion, they waited in a hody on the Prince of Peace. His Highness, it seems, did not treat their representations with the .mention that was expeCled ; and, upon some mur murs of dissatisfaction having escaped from them, the Minister save orders for calling in his body guard, and arresting the contumacious holders of the bills. The remonstrants were, however, prepar ed for this stretch of authority ; they escaped out of the house, collefted a mob, and some of the troops are said to have arranged themselves on their side, The main body of the guard attacked the refraEfory bill-holders, several charges of musketry were ex changed, and some lives were kit. We underrand, that four Grandees have been banished, and that se veral other persons have been arrested. SEPT. 20. By our letters from Cadiz, we are informed of a most deadly animosity subsisting between the French and the Spaniards, which is carried to lengths ton shocking for the refeCticn of human nature ; a night does not pass without the commission of some horrid outrage, which always terminates in the spilling of blood. The origin of these misunderstandings is, kept profoundly setter, but it is said to be between the French Admiral Villeneuve and Gravina. The latter has proffered his resignation, which the Spa nish Government has refused to accept ; yet no means arc taken to colic the existing quarrel, or put an end to the nightly broil, which take place between the French and Spswish sailors, which have of late been extended to t"e inhabitants of the town, who are now engaged in the dispute, under a plea that the provisions for the town are kept for the support of the French Navy, and that they in consequence will be starved. In Madrid, thrt-. disorders wear a still mere dreg 1- ful appearance; the inhabitants are in arms, to whom the Swiss Guards have been nvosed and de feated; upw irds of 600 persons have been killed and wounded in th s c main the cause is attempt ed to be kept proton idly secret : hut it has arisen from an ediel lately passed tinder the sanEtion of the Prince of Peace, coni.nanding all persons to receive in full payment, in lieu of money, the denim, vales, a paper currency, which, in the last war, was at a discount of 501 per :ent. This currency is the mast unpopular in the kingdom of Spain, is always at a discnunt, and the people refuse to concur in the Arran -I the edict, which is the c insect' a dispute, that has at length occasioned this insurreni in In consequence f this news, all inv.ireosirse by way of ex h inv, between Lisbon and Nl.l.lrid is at • stand ; an 1 all business between the two places ceases for the present. SEPT. RI. Dispatches from Madrid state, that aii Aar - ling disturbance had taken place in that c:ty, winch threatened the most serious consequences t , .) the Go vernment. The decree, by which the Pip:! or Pope's Mi.ney, was made to circulate as cash, created sue a %maxims, as to put a total stop to all htt‘ine;s.—lt is the prgtice of the traiesmen of Madrid to give short' credits to their cus tomers for every thing they deal in, and they used to receive their payments in this paper once a ' moth, which they carried to the Caisse d' sal init, and received the am mint in Jolla, s, Inc aft, r this decree, they fell to a discount. .1 he iialce.r, butcher, and other tradesmen, in consequence of this, not only scrupled them in payment, hitt refused to give credit, as bef ire, for their articles Our readers may conceive what would he the elf toi such a stoppage. Several of the pri •cipal t:ran &es and Merchants, dote• mined to go io a bud to the Prince of Peace, to represent t s him the fatal conwcptinces with w'iich the decree was preg nant. •l'hev were received in a manner the tnost insulting stoll outrageous. lie threatened, and even took steps to put several of them under an arrest ; but, having taken precautions against this event, they successfully resisted the guard, and made their way into the street. where their representations of the tre stment they had received, soon drew a con. course of people around them, and the clamour be came excessive. The troops were called out, when it was soon found that the spirit of disconient had spread through the ranks, awl that the soldiers were disposed to join with the citizens. Govern ment then called in the Swiss Guar 4 s, a regiment constantly kept up to 51000 men, and they, without the least hesitation, fired on the people. We un derstand that between 4 and 500 persons nue either killed or wounded, and, for the time, the mul titude were dispersed. Four of the princip I Gran dees wee.• exiled to their country seats ; but the Prince of Peace was fearful of bringing the rioters to any other punishment. well-knowing the formi- Jabie character of the people in Madrid and its vi cinity.

CATITERINR CRKE CIIIJRC11; LEAUENH.II,I..S I'REET. This venerable pile, which withstoed the fire r f London, having suffered considerable dilapidation by the all-conquering hand of time, it was adjudged necessary, by the pari.h, to preserve it from entire decay, by a general repair ; accordingly, the weirk men were employed for that purpose, in Jinte 1801., and it is now finished. Its faded grandeur has been restored, and it exhibits a most beautiful ap pearance. The painted glass in the Fast window, over the altar, considered a fine production of art, is brought to its original brilliancy. Tile organ, pulpit, and gallery, are cm ached with gilding. The Coi inthian pillars, and the celebrated mot.ument of Sir Nicholas Throckmnrton, with others of equal antiquity, have been beantifed, and the several in scriptions repainted. 'llse fine sculptured figure of a skeleton, over the East door, in Leadenliali street, has also been preserved, and the whole external ap pearance of the Church rendered extremely hand some. Yesterday, the charity children of Aldgare Ward, rehearsed an anthem, set to mu,ic by Mr. Lockart, the organist, which will be sung to-mor row, when the doors will open, for the first time since the repairs, and two Charity Sermons will Ise preached ; the first, in the m by the Itererend Thomas White, B.

Stu,—l know not how the war about to com mence on the Continent, will he considered by the performers in the drama, but by ITS, who are 'rated as quiet spectators, the drawing up of the curtain is anxiously looked tor. _ I leave it to your more learned correspondents to I speculate on the causes, and predia the conse quences of this great event ; permit me to make a few observations on the advantages which nnmbers of His Majesty's loyal and peac-able sohjeas will derive from it. Among the foremast of these, is the great body of newspaper politicians, who, with a generosity, that, like virtue, must be its own reward, as it seldom meets with any other, devote themselv. s to the public business, to the entire neglect of their own ; they have no longer occasion to thrust them selves into churches, theatres, and private houses ; they will now have materials enough. For the edification of their readers, they will, no doubt, resume their ancient and laudable custom of lire Ling the movements of the Combined Forces, correfling their errors, and pointing out their mi.- takes. For this arduous task they are fully quali fied, as it is well known they are Alin.rst as good ge nerals as they are politicians. The worthy Citizens of Landon have, of late, at all ctahs and coffee-houses where I have had the pleasure to meet them, dozed over their liquor, ra ther than drank it. for want of something to quicken it ; for, with the exueption of two or three murders, nothinglias occurred fur a month past, worth talk ing •iibtuillt;* bat nose.

The last class, whom I shall mention at present, are such Commanders of our Volunteer Corps as thought it their duty to totm plans of mock-hattles for the Improvement of the troop: entrusted to their care. They may now easily get rid of thus d•trigery, and adopt the plat of Uncle Tohy and Corporal Trim, of following ;he movements of the allied forces, taking ground to the right or her, ad vancingras they advance, and, without bloodshed, fighting all their battles over again. If this suggestion, which, with all due humility I offer; be approved of, our Allies will have the goodness to advance ' because, from the number of strong towns in their front, they will be a long time in making a little way ; whereas, if they took rt into their head to retreat, in the manner they did last war, our brave Volunteers could not follow them without great inconvenience, as it would re move them too far from their houses and business.
