WILITFIELD, the aaor, does,nor, it seems, re sume his situation on Covent Garden boards this seaso n . We regret that any difference should have arisen between him and the Manager, as he is a use_ fulfcrformer, and a respectable man. Mr. COLEMAN'S determination to commence his season on the day allowed by his License, though it may deprive him of several of the London Per_ formers, will, perh4ps, not be eventually injurious to him; for we have good reason for believing that be might make up an excellent Company among Country Performers, who are much better calcu lated to grace a London Theatre than many who have contrived to obtain a reputation far above their proper deserts. Mrs. GLOVER, late of Covent Garden Theatre, Was, on Thursday last, brought to.bed of a daugh ter. This Lady, it is said, is likely to be engaged at Drury Lane Theatre. As BONAPARTE is anxious tl! render PlAlirlltni a part of military exercise in his Army, he cannot do better than engage the Lady who has shewn hets self s o expert in this art at Ramsgate. By way of tounter-part to his Ltgion of Honour, he might, With her assistance, be able to form an Amazonian Corps, under the title of the Marine Buffs. On Tuesday last was married at T o p s h am Church, near Exeter, by the Rev. JAMES CAR- I tINCTON, the Honourable SAMUEL MITCHELL, President of the Council of Grenada, to Miss MARY PLOLTD, Sister of THOMAS FLOUD, Esq. Mayor °f Exeter. The Leeds True Briton coach to the Aogel..inn, Angel_streer, was on Saturday morning overturned coinin g through Dunstable ; by which accident the guard of the coach had both his legs broken, and two passengers were maimed in a' dreadful manner. We are sorry to hear that the Edinburgh Mail Coach from London, on Friday night was over turned at Ware, by one of the horics staging, and running the coach too near the side of the road; by 19 hich. accident the driver was thrown underneath t he coach ; whiCh so injured him th at he is since dead,. One pass:tnger was slightly hurt. bitEADFUL FlRE.—Last night, at• - inut eight' o'clock, a-moit tremendous fire broke out a few doors above Warwick-court, High Holborn. It has not been as yet precisely ascertained whether the ac cident happened in Mr. Hodsel, music-seller's, back kitchen, or in Steele's livery stables, whiCh are at t he back of Warwick-coot r, immediately behind Mr. l iodsel's house. Mr.Hodsel and his family were from . 11 ° -rite ; but there had been a lar ge co mpany divi ng with a.Gentleman and his wife, who inhabited the first flOor. The company was to stop supper, and the :ervant and her mother were going to the back kitchen, in order to make the necessary arrange_ 'tents, when upon opening the door, a dreadful vo. l unte of flame and smoke prevented their entrance ; r 0 arrest its career was impossible, as every instant, by the air rushing in, it gained greater force, and s uch was the rapidity of its progress, that before the alarm could he given to the - company above, it had r eached the staircase, and threatened to cut off all re treat by th a t p assage . Th e com p an y, howeve r , W ith a c ons id era bl e d egree o f i ntre pidity, rush e d o c 'wo stairs and happily escaped ; but. such was their "ostentation, that the Ladies left their cloaks, 4 " the Gentlemen their hats behind them, and t he only art i c l es save d were a f ew s il ver ta bl e an d tea -poons, and a punch-ladle. The fire increased ev ery moment, and almost immediately after th e , i °lll Pany got out the whole house was in a blaze. t most unluckily communicated to the adjoining tenement, possessed by a fruiterer, and we are sorry to add, that no property of Mr. Hodsel was saved, and p er little b e l ong i ng . to hi s next d oor ne i g hb our. S teele's livery stables are also destroyed, and one Poor horse has fallen a viuim to the flames. An flour almost elapsed before any of the engines ar rived,and even when they did come they were unable to aft, owing to scarcity of water. By this time The roofs of the houses had fallen in, and immense cOlumns of flame,' smoke, and pieces of burning wood Were flying in every direCtion. Water was at length troeured, and as every attempt to extinguish the fire was now useless, the firemen confined their efforts to prevent it from spreading. Accordingly the W alls of the adjoining houses, and those on the oppo ite side of the street, were plentifully watered. By eleven o'clock the fire had spent its rage, and was entirely w i t hi n the wails. The loss sustained must b e 'consid era bl e , but we believe the premises were l L s ured. The cr o wd collet-led was immense, and I pickpockets were as a cti ve as ever , notw i t h. b",ariding the vigilance of a strong posse of Consta es who attended ,on the occasion. We have not heard that any lives were lost. tlt P ußLtc-dFFic,t, HATTON-GARDEN.---SOMe of Officers, by authority of a warrant, went to the Sell of ba e ter in the vicini t y o f I s li ngtonl f or wi al.ing b a read- short of weight ; i n t h e we i g hi ng o f tell they divided the deficient loaves in a pile. the baker began to be turbulent, an d t hi n ki ng to defe at the ends of justice, tore the loaves asunder, : 41 , his more weigh tyl , read, in order to confuse the cvoidence of the Cfficers ; but upon close investiga il., " of the case, the Magistrate convieled the baker 0 ", Ss. penalty for, every deficient ounce, and sl. for a ut o; us Cting the Officers in the execution of their PARIS, SETT. 9, ON the 2d instant, a Deputati3n from the Citi zens of Marseilles presented to the FIRST CONSUL a Medal, which was struck in that City in cele bration of him. Citizen F. GI zAko presented the following address on the occasion. " GENERAL CONSUL, " No City experiences more than ours the be nign influence of the glorious Peace which your vittOries have given to France. Industry rears its head within those walls so long abandoned to a fatal inaaion ; that superb Port, the. object of jea, lousy to Foreign Nations, has already resumed its attivity. Numerous architedural embellishMents now ,appear in the place of revolutionary ruins, and every day your paternal solicitude effaces the remem brance of our late misfortunes, and inspires us with new hopes. Marseilles owes its happiness to you ; and the gratitude of Marseilles causes your . effigies to he impressed on bronze, ,together with the ex pressions of her sentiments. " May these traits, General Consul, which all the Arts strive to render. as immortal as your Fame,. be imprinted one day even on the symbols of our social transactions, the sole imperishable snnals of a People—incessantly to-call to the minds of those employed in Commerce, in the Arts, in Agriculture, that their splendour is your work. To the minds of Our Warriors, that it is to you they owe their most brilliant viftories, and transmit to the most remote ages, the sacred image of the Hero to whom France is indebted for her Prosperity and her Glory." The Reply of the First Consul contains the fol lowing passages : _ " ram sensible of this manifestation of the sen timents of the city of Marseilles, and I see its De putation with pleasure. The attention of Govern ment is unremittingly turned to that great city, and takes a lively interest in its splendor. By the Treaty of Peace concluded with the GRAND SIG 14ioa, the Republic has obtained the free navigation of the Black Sea. The commercial relations with the Mediterranean will thus increase, and become more prosperous than ever : but I desire that Mar seilles may not negled another source of commercial prosperity :—The Mouths of the Po are now open to her—vessels can proceed up as far as Ferrara, and penetrate to the centre of the 27th Military Divisio-, and by these means furnish 'soap _and other produaions of, the industry of Marseilles to Italy, and a considerable part of Germany." ACTS OF THE GOVERNMENT. REPORT MADE TO THE FIRST CONSUL IN SENATE, BY TI-IS MINISTER FOR FORIEGN AFFAIRS. " The First Consul having ordered me to ren der an account to him, in Senate, of the difi'crences subsisting between the Republic of France and the Regency of Algiers, and of the success of the mea siirec which have been adopted to terminate them— I shall first advert to the previous situation of affairs., From the' Frontiers of Egypt to the Streight of Gqatalt, - 4r, the North of Africa, is possessed by men ignorant of the public Law of Europe. The principles and the manners, which in a great de gree, have formed Europeans into one great Society, and not only forbid the oppression of, but enjoin them to protect and assist, when in danger, the Navigation 'and Commerce of Pacific Nations— w hicn reprobate-all unjust aggression; and require that the rights of Humanity be preserved sacred : these are still unknown to the people of those Countries. " They acknowledge no other Law of Nations, than those diaated by their own Police, which permits amongst them individual violence, autho_ rites it with respell to Foreigners, and consecrates even ads of barbarity and outrage with regard to Enemies—they are ignorant that the Law of Na tions, proceeding upon general principles, abolishes those chimerical rights, which a people too much impressed with,their local importance, derive from the licentiousness of their particular customs. It is, however, to the honour of Europe, that in those respeds, the supremacy of its public Law assigns just limits to the tolerance of particular Systems of Legislation, and which hereafter shall not be un. known, but in Africa. gg ihe Regency of Algiers is particularly re. markable for an audacity, which some events have tended to strengthen. 16 CamtLEsille Fifth turned his viaorious arms against . Africa—he wished to free Europe from the incursions of Barbarians, by reducing their power; but the success was not commensvrate to the great ness of the design, and fell far short of the magni tude of his preparations. " In:.succeeding times Lours XIV. asserted at Algiers, the honour of the French Flag, and in the interval. of six years, that City, was three times bombarded by his orders, But the affairs of Europe ' claiming his attention at the time, set bounds to his vengeance. However, since that period, the Al gerines have appeared to respet France, and the peace which was concluded in 1629, subsisted more than a century, when, in the course of the year 7, it was infringed at the instance of the Sublime Porte. " Of all the enemies which were opposed to France, when the First Consul took the reins of Government, the Regency of Algiers was the least formidable. But the First Consul, desirous that the calamities of War should every where terminate, and learning that the Dey was inclined to pacifica tion, dispatched a Negotiator to Algiers. Being preceded by the renown of those exploits of Which Italy, Germany, Syria, and Egypt , had been the witnesses, the Consular Envoy was properly re ceived. Peace was determined upon, and even no tified to the Divan : but a fresh interference of the Sublime Porte prevented the signature. War ap_ pcared.to be renewed, but no aetual hostilities took place. The French were permitted freely to -re tire from Algiers, and to dispose of their proper ties, and the French Agent waited at Alicant until the moment when the Negotiations should be re sumed. " In short a Definitive Treaty which assures to France all the advantages stipulated by the Ancient Treaties, and which by new Articles guaranteed " 12._ I!, more explicitly and more favourably to France the freedom of Commerce and navigation to Algiers was signed the zd of December: " General Peace being concluded, Commerce be gan to take all its accustomed courses. '' But we soon learned that the Armed Ships of Algiers scoured. the Mediterta,lean—Ldesolated the French commerce and infested. the coats. Neither the ' nor even the territory of the Republic w ere respelled by Corsairs of the Regency. "Fhey con cluded to Algiers, Transports which had sailed f, ern Toulon for St. Domingo. Thee seized a ~ Neapol i tan Vessel close to the coasts of France. An Aigerine. Officer dared to make a French Trading Captain. undergo a most infamous treatment in the road of Tunis. The barques of the coral Company, which. were, by the terms of the Treaty free to dispose of their fish, were violently repulsed from the coasts. The Charge d'Affaires called in vain for satisfac tion—they even dared to make propositions inju rious to the dignity of the French People—they even proposed—that France should pay for the ex ecution of the Treaty " The First Consul on being informed of those circumstances, ordered that a Naval Division should be stationed before Algiers. " Ltransmitted by his orders, the instruftions by which the Charge d'Affaires, Citizen DUBOIS THAINVILLE iS to regulate his condua, agreeably to the di Cates of .prudence, but at the same time with energy. and dignity, " The Division commanded by Rear-Admiral LEISSEGUES, appeared before Algiers, the sth of August, and earring on board an Officer of the Pa lace, the Adjutant tivwx, charged with a letter from the First Consul to the DEY. " On the 6th of August this Officer landed—he was received with distinaion, and he presented the letter of the First Consul which is conceived in the following terms : BONAFARTE, lIRST CONSUL, TO THE MOST HIGH AND MAGNIFICZNT, THE DEY OF ALGIERS, WHOM GOD PRE- SERVE IN GLORY AND PROSPERITY. " I write this Letter dire&Etly to yourself, because I am aware, that you have Ministers who deceive , you, and who advise a line of condua the most injurious to you. This Let ter will be delivered into your own hands, by the Adjutant of my Palace. Its objeft is to demand prompt reparation, and such as I have a right to exiled, from the sentiments which you have always manifested towards me. A French Officer has been adually'beaten in the Road of Tunis, by one of your Officers ; the Agent of the Republic has in vain de mLided satisfaClion ; two Brigs of War 'have been taken by your Corsairs, and carried into Algiers ; a Neapolitan Vessel has been captured in the Road of Hieres, which violates the French Territory : Finally, from a French Vessel which ran aground on yoar Coasts last Winter, more than rso Men have been taken, and are still in the hands of the Barbarians. " I demand reparation for ail those injuries, and entertain no doubt, of your adopting .every measure which I should take in similar circumstances. I have dispatched a Vessel to bring-home the rso Men which are missing. I have also to request, that you will place no confidence in such of your Ministers, as are the Enemies•of France. You cannot have greater Enemies than those ; and if I desire to live in Amity with you, it.is necessary also that )ou should take every step to preserve a mutual good understanding, ,which alone can preserve your present rank and prosperity, for Gon has de termined that all those; who shall be unjust towards me, shall be punished 1 If you are willing to live in friendship with me, you must not consider me as a feeble Power, but resped duly the French Flag, as also that of the Italian Re public, which has constituted me its Chief; and make re paration for all the outrages that have been cdmmitted against me. These being the sole objeds of this Letter, I pray you to read it with attention, and to inform me by the return of the Officer, what you deem expedient to do." " Whatever were the real dispositions of the Dey, it appeared that his desire was to maintain a good understanding with the French Republic. " I am willing," said he, " to be always the friend of BONAP ART E," and he promised to give ample satis faElion on the above heads. - " In order to pay a particular respea to the En voy of the First Consul, he dispensed with the ordinary formalities, and received him in the most magnificent pavillion in his gardens, as well as the Charge d'Affaires of the Republic, the Rear Admi ral, &c. He then gave to General HULLIN the an swer, which he had prepared for the First Consul, and which was to the following elle& : " In the name of the only G on—The Man of GOD, the most Illustrious and Magnificent Lord, MusTAPHAPA en A, llEy of ALGIERS, whom God permits to reign in glory, &c. " To our Friend BONAPARTE, First Consul of the French Republic, and President of the Italian Republic. " I salute you—The Peace of God remain with you. " By these presents, our friend,' I inform you, that I have received your Letter dated the iBth of July. I have read it. It has been delivered to me. by the General of your Palace, and your Vakeel, Dull() is TH A INV IL LE. I shall answer you, Article by Article. i. You complain to us of the Rais Ali-Tartar.--Although he is one of thy loldaches, I have ordered his arrest, for the purpose of his suffering death. But at the moment of his intended execution, your Vakeel requested his pardon of me in your name, and I have accordingly liberated him. a. You demand of me the Neapolitan Polacre, taken, as you say, under the cannon of France. The particulars which have been furnished to you, relative to that transaction, are not very exal ;—however, according to your desire, I have liberated eighteen ,Christians, which composed its Crew; they have been delivered to your Vakeel. 3. You demand a Neapolitan VesSel, which, it is said, had sailed from Corfu on the French service. There have been no French Papers or Documents found on board : but as you' have desired it, I have ordered the Crew to be restored to liberty, and delivered to your Vakeel. 4. You require the puniShment of the Rais, who con cluded hither two Vessels belonging to the French Re public. According to your desire I have degraded them : but I have to state to you that my Rais cannot read Euro pean charaders—they are ignorant of the usual forms of Passports: the Ships of War of the Republic should adopt some particttlar Signal, in order to be known by my Cor- sairs. 5. You demand s men, which you say are in my Do minions-.-there is not one.—All the persons in question have perished by the will of God, which has greatly grieved me. 6. You say there are men who offer counsel tending to embroil u5.. ,, -Our Amity is closely cemented, and of long tit:', - afion, and all thosC who eticleavmited to iesseh it wig tt , tursuccessful. 7. Veit require that I shall be . the friend of theitali2ri Rep'blic.—l shall reaped its flag as your's, according to your desjte.—But if the preposition came from another, I would not accept it for a million of Piastres. E. You do not appear willing to give me the zoo,ood Pi asters, which I demanded to indemnify me for the lossesi I have sustained upon }our aceount.—Whether or not you give me these, we shall always-remain good friends. 9 I have sertled with, my friend Dugo - r s TEI itryli.LEi your Vakeel, all the alnirs relative to the Coasting and the .Coral Fishery.--The African Company shall enjoy the samQ privileges which they formerly possessed—l have ordered the BEY DE Cbn ANTINE to affOrd if.evety kind of pnitedion., to. I have satisfied you in every respsd, in the manner you have desired ; and for which, . you will doubtless satisfy me, as I have rendered you satisfaction. It. 'ln consequence, I request you will give orders that the Nations hostile to me, shall not sail under your Flag, nor with that of the Italian Republic, that there may be no farther disputes between us, for I am desirous of remaining in amity with you.- 52. I ',lave ordered that my Itais shall respea the French Flag at sea, and I will punish the first who conduas a French Ship into any of - my ports. - " If in future any matter for discussion 'should exist, write to me direaly, and every thing shall be amicably settled. " I salute you—May God keep you in glory, fee, " ALGIERS, 13th of the Moon Rahiad—Ewel, year of the Hegira, 12J7." " In finishing this Report, I should state to the First Consul, that the Adjutant Commandant of the Palace, Hu LI, N, and the Rear-Admiral LEI - SEGUES, have executed with dignity, firmness; and circum:. speetion, the Commission with Which they were'. entrusted. " C. M. TALLETRAND.". REPORT MADE TO THE FIRST CONSUL OF THE RE.. PUBLIC, IN THE SENATE, SEPTEMBER 7TH, BY THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The distinguishing charaaer of the epoch which has been terminated by the General Peace, has been a marked contra dieli on i n the interests,. the sentiments, and the condua of mankind. States have been guided by a kind of fatality in their Wars, and in their Alliances. Some of them have made a common cause together, without ceasing to hate each other ; and others lived in a state of hos tility and discord, without ceasing to esteem each other. In the dissolution (which has been a lOng time preparing) of the general relation of tfic States of Europe to each other, the edifice of Puhlic Right has been shaken, and several States, taken by sur prise at the approach of the storm, have lost sight of their dearest interests—they have even seen danger in their most beneficial customs, and have given themselves up without re to idle alarms and dangerabs suggestion s: Such was the situation of the Sublime Porte,- at that pei iod of the War, when Europe, with astonishment ,saw it range itself among the Enemies of France. That-Govern ment itself was not long in seeing its error, and in., deed every thing it said abroad and at home was only caicuiared to inspire it with regret for the de termination which it had suffered itseif to be led into. " -The Porte saw the Conqueror, faithful to the declaration which he made when he took possession of an Ottoman Province, provide for its preservation, govern it with wisdom, and rake measures to en sure its future safety ; and even afterwards, when by an unproVoked Declaration of War by the Porte, it became lawful conquest, the respell which was shewn for the property, the manners, and the religion of the conquered, shewed that the intention of the Conqueror was not changed. In fad, France, far from, wishing to attempt any thing against the prosperity, or desiring to diminish the force of the Turkish Empire, had at that time no other objet in view but to' render it more powerful and more happy, by introducing into it new ele. ments of civilization, and in opening in the midst of their - Provinces the grand road for the Commerce of the World. But the Ottoman Government had formed its connections without foresight, and was the last to engage in a war, which could only pro duce effeds prejudicial to her, and from the nature of her situation, she could only withdraw the last from the contest. It Was only after the pacification. of the other Powers of Europe, that the Porte was able to negotiate without restraint. The moment she was in a state to treat singly with France, the two Empires were instantly at peace. The Treaty of the 25th of July was concluded; and the great work of general Pacification was compleated. This Treaty re-establishes the anticnt connedions be tween the two States, and has provided for every thing which the interests and wants of the Ottoman Empire, and the interests and glory of France re quire. The joy which was manifested at Con stantinople upon the event, shews , the value which the Government and People of Turkey placed upon the return of the friendship of the French People.— The interruption of that friendship has always been marked by serious errors and by great dangers. In future, that Government may repose in the hope of finding in the midst of all the difficulties inherent to its potiticS and its situation, the Councils of a Power always friendly and always interested in its wel. fare. " • The interests of the C,: - ..inerce of -France are secured by this Treaty. The; French Citizens trading to Turicey, will soon recover the property• which has been sequestered, and from this moment their rights, their ancient. prerogatives, and commercial preponderance. The Compensations to which. they are entitled, are specified by a particular article. The honour of France and the dignity of its Government required' that•sorne exceptions, which were too long tolerated by the ancient French Government, re speEting the privileges -of our Navigation, should be done away. The access to the Black Sea opens to us a new route, and the sphere of our commerce is en larged by ti direft communication with the. Southern provinces of Russia. The Sovereign of that Empire, who has risen above prejudices of a vulgar jealousy, feels, that multiplying the means of exchanging the produce of the industry of different Countries is advantageous, to the industry of all. The Sublime Porte had nothing to desire but the friendship of France, and :he Peace which has been conctuded
