The Theatre last night was crowded ; between the play and farce " God save Me King" was called for, and sung with the greatest enthusiasm and acclamations, the whole audience standing up and joining in chorus. The PRINCE had a large party to sipper; the Band performed as usual, and at twelve o'clock Uud :eve Me lung was played, when the company separated. Last evening, at half past seven, all the cliffs were lined with carriages, pedestrians, and eqeestrians, to behold four large ships that hove in sight, and made aignels to the light-house, which were an swered by three red flags being hoisted in a mo ment. A report was circulated in the course of the day that the. enemy were attempting to land on some part of the coast. and an extraordinary patrole paraded the whole of the night. This morning early, all Brighton was in a hustle. The Steyne was crowded ; every appearance be spoke something extraordinary. No Person seemed to know wh,,,t was going forward ; when, at a quar ter before twelve, two signal guns were fired from the east battery.

At the sound of tale horn, the light infantry company took (brit posts along the cliffs anal a party on the Steyne, the main body remaining on tie parade, w..ich was head quarters. In as instant the surrounding ele vations and points were taken p ,siession of by picket guards of cavalry. Two field pieces were &awe by eight horses. and two companies took their sta tion in James's street, under cover of some homes. Two mortars drawn by four horses were placed at the top of Church-hill. Every movement Was performed with the' most Surprising alacrity. Major Bt. ooctrtELD commanded - the cavalry, and Earl Buie b:L EY the infantry. The town had the ap pearance of a besieged piece, and exhibited a most interesting and novel scene. ThePaiecS amihis party then visited the different posts, and expressed great satisfaaion et the promptitude with which the orders had bees obeyed. the troops ware then withdrawn by the same signet ; the Cavalry went to Marlbo , rough Fields. close to the cii:ket groued, and when His Royal Highness arrived ..here they poised him in compenie, hen in open columns, and, *forming into squadrons. sa;ur - d His Royal HighneSs.

Mr. M kLII risort, in Mea desuer in The Deli Lorer, was extremely successful in the scene where he supposes himself in an inn, and, sitting down to drink, gives " K4tg's Health," which was received veil a burst of applause. His next toast was, " The Rising Sun, that gilds the Susses plains, and sheds its lusue on this happy land." The audience acknowledged the arp,lication, and received it with the loudest acchniatipns. The applause interrupted the performance for several minutes. The Pot lc did not leave the house until the curtain fell The ladies were very much dressed.

The ground of this motion, as stated by the Learned Gentleman, was. that there was already a fund sufficient to pay off many of the debts, and that Col )ncl Thornton was about to s(11 a part of the estates to Lord Stourton, who, of course, could not be expeeted to advance the money, uotil the estate he was to purchase was freed from all incumhtances.

The ground of this motion was, that Sir eV. Leigh ton had possessed himself of these deeds and papers, as trustee arid agent for the family. Mr. Foe at move, on the part of the Defendant, contended, that though Sir William had. received the deeds formerly, as trustee and agent, yet, as he had since acquired a right to one third of the estate, and had also a claim on it to the amottut of 8001. the Plaintiff could have no right to require him to give up the possession. The loot u CHANCELLOR asked Mr. Foe sae/Nut whether he had affidavits of the falls ; and being answered in the affirmative, said that he could not, under taese circumstances, take the deeds out of the Defendant's peseession.
