LONDON. SATURDAY. Aram 17, 1819. French. Dutch, Flanders, and Hamburglt Mail.; have arrived, bringing a great variety of continental Papers. It is stated that SANDT, the assassin of the celbrstert KOTZEBUE, was still living at Man halm ou the 7th of this month, but that no hopes were entertathed of his eventual recovery. The seine etithusiiistic feeling that led him to the com nllll6loll of this murder has lost no part of its inten sity, even Lallll4lot lie seventy of his bodily suffer togs. So far indeed has he been from evincing any contrition for 1113 digit., that he still glories in it its e virtuous ellurt to relieve his country from one whom lie had taught himself to consider as au enemy. Efforts have been repeatedly made to dis •.over whether this wretched young man had any associates, and whether lie was, 1:a has been coil& delitly asserted, the instrument of n party; but he persists in his original assertion, and denies with exultation that soy other person has shared in his guilty enterprise. _The discussion un the law relative to the Liberty of the Press was to commence oil Wechitlida) in the - Chamber of Deputika, and will probably continue fora comulerstile !tine. The amendment. ptoposed • by the Committee mmu.l.dril to examine the law; submitted by the Nlinisterr to the Chamber on this subject, but which M. CovstvolliEn. the Ite. porter front the Committee, had mifortutiately mislaid on Saturday, have been printed. They refer !olio:twiny to the gradation or punish. inents. In the Secret Committee of the Cham ber of Deputies, M. Latur. submitted a pio. position fur an Address to the KiN praying his Majesty to propose a low (or relieving winrr frotu the ex purl duty. In the present improved notions of political economy such a proposition cannot be resisted. The Brussels Papers communicate some intelli gence concerning a dissention between the Hussars and some corps of infantry rrnriug the garrison of that city, which has led to serious rencontres be. tween the parties, and to the consequent loss of several lives. The recurrence of such violence has, however, been prevented by the activity of the Civil Authorities, assisted by the other military corps not itnplicated in the original quarrel. it Royal Ilighoesse3 the Duke and Duchess of KENT arrived at Brussels on the I Ith instant.

An affray, attended with bloodshed, has taken place near Weiss.mhurg, between some French and some Ra.•arnao troupe. The affair is related as follows:—Abut 100 paces beyond Weisseniburg is the first Bavarian outpw.t. Near this is a public•hunse which is mach frequented by French trnups of the rail...oil of Weissernbu►s (the Legion of the lure). Two grenadiers were there some days ago at the same time with some Bavarian soldiers, rut into a quarrel with awn., and u.ie beateu. They immediately fescluil to their assist. sore some of their CUlllrAllee, who tame in great number,, sad are said to have used the Bavarians very roughly. It is statrd that several are seveirly wounded.

Helire arise many difficulties, which it would be for the interest of both aides to have te►minated. Similar disputes frequently arise in the mountains with else puuliiivra. All this would nut happen if the couditiosia or the Treaty were at length executed, and the (mistier de termined. The accounts were closed last morning at the Stock Exchange, and two defaulters were declared, but fur very small amounts. Consuls experienced a further fill yesterday ; they opened fur the ac count at 73t, And fell at one time so low as but they subsequently improved, and filially closed at 73, being sousevtliat lower than they were on the day preceding.

Mr. COLMAN'S ethicil and interesting opera of late and Varlet), somewhat indeed " ciii third of its propurliotis" in the musical department. was last night performed. Vie have often been surprised that this excellent piece is not noire frequently pre sented to the public—its scenes afford great scope fur hue sentimental as well as comic acting—it is adorned by some very beautiful music—and, at a whole, infinitely transcends the things " of shreds and Patches." which, of late year•, have been dig iiitb•rl twilit the title of " operas." It was tolerably well performed last night—some of the characters we way say, admirably. Mr. MUN DEN, who ap pears to have retrograded to about the age of five and-thirty, played the character of Sir ( hristopher Curry, to his best style, His performance was an unceasing display of the richest and tiuest comic qualities. Ili passion, in the acetic where the cold mid calculating beide, mfataking him fur a slaves, discloses the avaricious teelitegs by which be is urinated, was inimitable. Every sentence, in re probation of the Slave Trade. which Mr. COLMAN gave to honest Mr Christopher, at a time when this detestable traffic was not viewed with the abhor- Fence which it deserved, seemed to sprig (ruin the heart of Mr. MU 14 DEN, and appealed with generous force to the feelings of the audience. Mr. I've LEY, in the cold and plodding parts of fakir's character, was sufficiently torpid—but, unfortunately. when the hero became the prey to cordlictiog pas_ Mr. PEN LET seemed to be almost as unalloyed as he was before. Mr. fIaHLEY's Trudge may he fairly rooked amongst his best perfor 'minces. It was, in every seem*, mirthful and amusing. Ile gave his comic song with great humour. Mrs. OROER supported the character of Yarico with great excellence. There was au itripassomed tender hrs.., a depth of feeling na her acting, perfectly accordant with the tine sensibility of /uric.). Miss WITHAM played Aarcissa prettily. She exe cuted, with considerable effect, the beautiful air, " Fresh and strong the breeze it Mowing." Mrs. BLAND, as Uowski, sang with charm's% sweetness und simplicity ••••••il nd, iii her acting, displayed a con siderable shale of naiveti.
