We have been led into error by the Jo*rad de Frankfurt of the 6th of this month, in an article of Hews that luteresta the Prince Paul of Wirtrm berg, and which we gave in our paper of yesterday, under the head of Sausbe. the 24th July. The whole of that article is false. It is merely true that that Princess is gone to pay a visit to her mogul► Parents, at Hildburghausen. M. Gerard l'iogey, notary at Sonnhernon, had been condemned by s judgment of the Royal Court of Dijon (the Chamber of Appeal from the Correc tional Police), of the 12th July, 1816, to a year's iiiiprisonment, being convicted of having publicly worn in the place of his residence, the tri-coloured cockade, in the month of March, 1815, from the 1 to the 19th. M. Piogey had undergone his punishment, and from his return to Sombernon, in the month of July, 1917, he had resumed the exer cise of his functions as notary. He was in the en joyment of them for nine months, when on the 29111 April, 1818, the King's Attorney thought it was his duty to bring him before the Civil Tribunal of Dijon, to hare his incapacity of employment pro nounced. This incapacity was in fact pronounced by a jettlgment on the 12th May, grounded on the correctional condemnation delivered against M. Piogey. M. Piogey having appealed against this judg. merit, made an eximw ition of his grounds in ; we morial subscribed by the Advocate Cahet, followed by two consultations, subscribed by tweuty-eight other Advocates of the bar of Dijon. The cause having been heard before the Royal Court, the sth of this month, M. Piogey was de fended by M.

Person, sculptor and architect, who was charged with the duty of restoring the mausoleum raised at Sens, on the tomb of the Dauphin and the Dauphine. 'l'l, this estimable artist we owe the preservation of this fine monument, which he pro. tested from outrage and profanation at the epoch of the revolutionary storm. The warrant of pension ranted by his Majesty contains flattering expres sions that paint the gratitude of the Monarch, and are the most worthy recompence to the subject.

We give this day the conclusion of Me Secret Memorial of the French Ultra-Royalists, addressed to the Allied Power.. It carries on its face its own conviction. Its title is a disgrace. The Allies, it says, have us much right to dictate to the King of FRAIICE who shall he his Ministers, as they had, in 1814, to place the King himself upon the Throne. They may send one of their jack-boots to be the French Prime Minister, and yet France is to he a free indepetideut honor, with a constitutional Go. veronica. After the avowed profession of such base servility, surely the Ultra-Royalists have for. feited every claim to respect mid public consider. shoat. Lord STRANGI , OIIO, the British Enroy in Soc• den, has succeeded in ohtuiuing from that Court a Decree, authorising the exportation of deals mod timber, in British ships. on the payment of the MAW export duties as in Swedish vessels. Several thousand tout of *hipping will consequently be seat from British ports during the preseut seisms% WM. ceive cargoes in those of Sweden. This perniissios is to last until the end of this year; but it Wei. , most certain that the advantages which Sweden will derive from the increased exportation of her pro. duce, will induce his Swedish Majesty to proloug it.

The comedy of Who Watts a Guinea? -was last night represented. • Wholly improbsble - in plot— extravagant in character—and mawkish in f ment—it would not, though abundantly provided with clap-traps, have kept even the Flight possession of the stage which it has hitherto niuintained, were it not for the excellent acting that has, from time to time, been displayed in it—and, on Ire occasions. has a greater portion of talent been comprised in the cast of the dramatis persoa.z, than we last night witnessed. Mr. W•ani appeared, for the first time, as Barford. The character is of The Stranger species—but Barford's passions are not so frequently nor so powerfully called into action. Mr. WARDE supported the part with great judgment its the level scenes, and with a proper degree of feeling in those where passion is elicited. His interview with Torrent,in which he narrates the history of his misfortunes, and conclude. by demanding his long-lost daughter, was placed iii a forcible and affecting style. The part, alto gether, does not afford scope for the exhibition of great talent. But. judging from Mr. WARDE'S p e r. formances, circumscribed as his exertions necessarily were by the nature of the character, we think his Peurstddork, or his Stranger, would add greatly to his f a me. We doubt whether Mr. TERRY'S The ' teat could be equalled by any performer on the stage. It has all the kindly warmth—all the honest feeling—all the undissembled affection—of genuine hearty benevolence. Mr. FOOTE, who is the picture of good-humour, gave prominence and effect to honest Farmer Heartly. His opposite, Farmer Hogaiore, was very appropriately c on fid e d to M r . Bu aTON, whose sour words and vinegar looks, were pet fectly in unison. When the two formers appeared on the stage together, they put us in mind of a frothing pot of porter and a cruet of verjuice placed alongside of each other. Mr. LIPTON'S Solomon Gandy was a rich piece of fun mill fully. Mr. Jousts, as Sir Larry Mae Mur ragh, supported the part of the Wondering dandy with much humour sod vivacity. Jonathon Oldskirt And Andrew, Bang, were Amusingly "'ewe. .rutted by Messrs. Wsextnsots and TORE LT. Tile scenes of egnieoque between the former mid Tor rent were remarkably well played. Miss Coax- LAND a n d Mrs. DAVENPORT, as the young and old housekeeper. acquitted themselves greatly to the satisfaction of the audience. The house was very full. ENGLISH OPERA. The entertainments of last night attracted a fashionable and full audience. We have trequently before borne testimony to the merits or the per formers, in the opera of Free and Easy, they are so well known and appreciated, that it would be su perfluous to particularize them. Last night they were beyond all praise. In many parsagre, parti rulatly in the bustle and preparation for the birth day fete, in its celebration, and the denouement of the story, almost every word uttered was attended by a correspondent laugh. In the new operetta of The Baits Head, which follower!, Mr.War.ncsi was fully as efficient and happy as in the former piece; his metamorphose (runs the officer to the waiter was admirable. and complete for the time, except when it was very naturally chequered by the ir repressible familiarity of a favoured lover with his mistress. The vulgar, self-applauding, imperti nent. retired Cit, was most ably pourtrayed by Mr. WiLattosom. It is a very asuusing little piece, and produced an infinite quantity of merriment. The histotical ballet of The Death of Captain Cook was witnessed with an uncommon degree of interest—an interest, without doubt, in great mea sure excited by the melancholy recollections at tached to the name of its brave and unfortunate hens. The pantomime, however. possesses many independent claims to favour and approbation; and if the plot were altogether imaginary. we a►e persuaded the piece would be successful. The delight and noisy exultation of the savages on rece►ving the trinkets, beads, &c. from Captain Cook, were very appropriately expressed by the Indians. The trio of Ching-chit-gnaw, in the second act, by Miss 1. STsexissoN, Misr LOVE, and Mr. AVILKINSON, was very much admired. Of Mrs. PINCOTT'S performance of Rmai, it is impos sible to speak in too handsome terms. The wild transports of Enrai's joy on being made possessor of the mirror, the pleasure, the raptures she enjoys in gazing at her own image, her gratitude and of for the Captain, her solicitude for his pre servation, her tender and anxious pains for Isis re covery. and her subduing sorrow for his fate, were all represented by Mrs. PENCOTV in such a manner as to leave nothing to be tinned in the perform ance. The Duke of IVELLINGTOM has become a dis tinguished collector of pictures. He has Islely insole many valuable acquisitions nu the Continent, particularly in the Flemish School. rlos Grace has desired that a gallery for the reception of pictured may form a principal feature in the inatision to be erected on his Parlannentary estate. The funds are upon the decline. The three per cent. Consuls at one o'clock yesterday, were down to 76i-1. Some politicians anticipate a derangement in the present state of things, from die conduct of the United States in respect of the Floridas, and the execution of Mr. ARBUTIINOTT.

The Court was crowded at all early hour to hear this important case; amongst whom we perceived the Earl of Yarmouth, Mr. Peter Moore, M.P. Mr. Wilson, Mr. Calcraft, M.P. Mr. Alderman Cox, and several other proprietors of the theatre, and a great her of theatrical persons belong nag to the different theatrer. The Loot) CHANCELLOR came into Court a'. half-past nine o'clock. Sir Amnia PIGGOTT said, he was Connie) fist the Defendants, the Sub-Cianmittee of Drury lane Theatre, and on their behalf he had to move his Lordship, that the injunction in this case which had been granted should be dirolved. He had not seen the injunction, but he understood the substance of it was to reatrain the Defendants from reopening the theatre, and from making any new engagements with performers. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY said, he thought he might save the time of the Court by making a preliminary objection to the present application. The injune. tion was granted opium the Sub-Committee, con sisting of five, and this was only the motion of three of that Committee. Sir ARTHUR PIGGOTT said, two of the Sub- Committee had resigned--Lord Yarmouth and Mr. Walpole. The former had put in his answer ; but it was impassible to get the answer of Mr. Wal pole, as he was not ill the country. ' The LORD CHANCELi.OR—" The Plaintiff* certainly have a right to lee the answers of all the Defendants before the motion for dissolving the in jnuction comer on. The injunction shuts up the theatre, which may be of the most serious chise , (pence,. It cannot make much difference whether the motion conies on this day or to-morrow." Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY observed, he had no oh. jection to him Learned Friend then goi n g lido the merits of the case—but how three could answer for live lie did not know. Sir A. PIGGOTT then moved that the injurirtioa should be dissolved. He stated that his client., by the rule laid down by the Court, that only • lie Counsel on each side should be heard, had heel' deprived of the valuable assistance of other Cortt - se! which they had tettlitied. lie had applied hors eelf with all the assiduity in his power to become master of the circumstances, and he found the affidavit of Mr. Henry Robins, and the teo Acts of Parlitunent, were the only thingstleat re (poked the particular notice ar his Lordship, notie of the oilier seven Plaintiffs made any affi davit. Thule eight persons, calling themselves the Select Committee, had taken on tlintot'Lvr4 great powers, but on looking into the Acts of Par-. Iminent, he could not see hew they were veste•l with them, fur lie could see no authority for such a Committee. The bill preyed that an accuuot might be taker' of debts due to performers ill 't other persons, that is, that the account should be • taken spinet the five Defendants, for the crop "hition was not before the Court. it WISP an application to shut up the theatre, without en affidavit sweariug that it would be injurious to the cmieern to open it, except at the end of Mr. Robins's affidavit, that if the Sub-Coin mittee continue to carry it on, it may be in jurious to the Proprietors, and on this may the Count of Chancery was called on to act. There was no doubt but great loss had been SW, tinned, hut not in the time of the uremia D• fend ants being in office. His Lordship was asked to direct account, to lie taken of the debts due to performers and others, at the same time that the Plaintiff., by their bill, chewed there never was case where it was less called for, as they say there never were uccoutite better kept than those of tine theatre. ft watt, in fact, calling on his Lordship t • order a sum of money to be raised to pay off tee encumbrances. His Lordship would see that the house, property appertaining, and the appurtenance.. were vested in the corporation, and not in the tire Defendants; and then his Lordship was asked the( en account should be lakeis between the Kee tiffs (eight corporators) and the Sub-Corninatet• (five other con-orators), when there is no persou !kit would take such au account. It was the mast ex traordinary plan he had ever head of, if there WI4 not a job at the bottom of it. To relieve them from their difficulties, his Lordship was asked to shut up the theati-•_., and to spread an established cmit pany of comedians about the world—to force some across the Atlantic, where, by the bye, they did 'not get much encouragement ; others to Ireland, Scotland, &c. There was something extraordinary mu the conduct of these Pleintiffs, sourethilig th.it could not be understood, sometliiug above or belie' human understanding, and that no one could •x. plain but themselves. This was not the bill of the creditors of the theatre, hut of eight corporators. There were other persons besides the corporation who hind an interest is the theatre.
