IN the dearth which at present reigns of Intelli gence, that is vitally interesting to this Country, we cannot hut smile at the devices of our Cottm. poraries to amuse, if not the Public, at least them selves. Of this description is an assertion, that pertain Great Powers of Europe, and which, in deed, are specified by name, have agreed upon a remonstrance to the British Government, against the Liberty of the British Press ! If there are English Readers who can believe such absurd reve ries, the present may, indeed, be denominated the Age of CseLd;ty with the People of this Country. While, however, we must, both in reason and conscience condemn the loose and injudicious re_ marks brThany - of the English Journals upon the internal proceedings in neighbouring Countries, we are not unobservant of, nor insensible to the con • duet which is pursued by the French, with respect' to some of the other States of Europe. We have often stated, in the, most marked land energetic language which honest Feeling could diclatc, our -sentiments of the ..equ.ally_ unjust and , justifiable inVasion and overthrow of the In -dependance of Sq.tiitzeriand, in the first instance, by the Revolutionary Government of France, and we are net more disposed to vindicate any aa of injustice on the part of that which now exists there. The Swiss we shall ever think an Oppressed and injured people, and we deplore their fortune in the same proportion as we have ever ad mired theit vii tee and their love of Freedom. Their second, and perhaps final subjugation to the power of the French arm 3, we anticipated, if our Readers will be kind enough to recollea., at the titre that iye heard of the evacuation of Switzerland by the French Troops near tWo months ago, because we fore_ saw that the da,-,mon of Dissension had so completely Possessed that once happy people themselves, there appeared no hope oft hat unanimity which could alone, in the fpresent state of Europe, preclude the pretext for fOreign interference. The mode in' which this in terfin-ence has been made, is not the most respe&. ful to the dignity of a Foreign State, nor, in a free Country, can the Principle upon which it is done be approved.---It is the Principle indeed, the re sistance to which roused into . sitch stupendous ac tion the natural energies of France, which during the whole Revolution she affeaed tp be combating, and which now, freed from the pressure of War, she . seems ambitious to adopt and extend to every cor -nef of the World. The Swiss may, with their native virtue and valour, endeavour to resist its prat - lice, as applied to themselves.—They will have the wishes, the prayers, and the syutpathy of all good men, of every Nation ; but, alas ! what will all united avail, against the Power with whom they :lave to contend E'—The conquest, however, will probably not be a bloodless one to France, and the Swiss will have the proud consolation of reflecting, that they did not fall ingloriously, and withoUt that struggle,' which .ii'reemen only can make.' Yesterday M. UTTo dined with the Minister at Lis Hop se in Downing:strret, and .ii was understood to be the Farewell Dinner to that Gentleman. In this case, there seems reason to believe that General ANDREOSSI may soon be e:peaed to arrive in this Country.

After his return from the Review on Wimbledon Common, His MAJESTY went into a Warm-bath, and walk ing out in the evening at croginore, caught a little cold", which'the attention of Sir FRANC IS MILL MAN very speedily dispelled.

It w:is lately reported, that Comte WORONZOW had accepted the office of Principal Minister of Rus sia, which has been repeatedly tendered to him.— More recent letters, however, inform, that his Excel lency had dodined these gracious offers, and propos ed to leave Petersburgh on his return to London about-the beginning of Ckiober. CHARLES 7 -VIPRGAN, Esq. M. P. for Monmouth. shire, has been chosen Bailiff, and the Rev. RICHARD DAv ES, and CHARLES PRITCHARD, Esq. Alder. men, of ihecun, or the ensuing year. By virtue nf a Commission of the High Court of Admiralty, the cargo, hull,--kc. of the Adventure brig, which was sunk off Brighton, are announced, in small lots, to be sold. by auetion. St. Matthew's Fair, Bridgewater, commenced on Saturday. The quantity of cheese brought in was' considerable, and that of good quality met with a brisk sale ; the best fetched from 535. to 635. ; middling from 4.25. to 5 zs. bd. ; inferior, 31s. 6d. to 4.05. - per cwt. but much of the latter kind-re mained unsold. The -shew of cattle of every description was numerous, and they experienced 'a reduction in price. Horses of figure maintained good prices, bur colts were dull of sate, and declined materially. The Fair was, in general, large, and the fine weather attra4ed a vast concourse of people to the field. Several young men, who as as Brokers, having been left in the lurch, by their Principals deserting them, the Committee of the Stock Exchange have stuck u.p the following cagtion The Committee for General Purposes earnestly request thOse Gentlemen of the Sto;_lc Exchange who transact busi ness on cnimnis,sion, to regulate the extent of their 'dedincs for time (unless sufficient security) as much as polible by their own ability to fulfil their enga;iernents, being, ot's-v -nion, that every - material deviation from tins rate, umeii:, from pet:lons of welt known property, charaaer, , awr re spczidbility, is nearly as unwiltrantable, as if they laa.l en tered into such speculations on their aeCCUIIt.

THE ARTS.—The new Institution which we mentioned some time ago, and which, we under stand, is really likely to be soon brought forward, is intended to constitute what may be properly cal led Tot BRITISH SCHOOL. The professed objels of this Institution, are to correct the false taste which induces too rnany to be " charm'd by the ti;hiscling of a name," and who prefer works by Old Masters, to the productions of Modern Artists, - merely because the latter are modern ; to prevent those who aspire to the Character of Connoisseurs and Patrons from being 'deceived by Copies, for which enormous prices are demanded ; to shew the progressive advancement of the Arts in this Country, to proVide a refined species of Public Amusement, which may gradu:4:y improve the National Taste, and 'finally, to raise a Fund fpr the support 'of un fortunate Artists, their Widows, and their Chil dren. Such a plan deserves encouragement upon .rnotives of Patriotism as well as Himanity—it af fords scope for the exertions, of GP.Nrus, which 'May tend to adorn and enrich the Country, and 'eters a resource for GENIUS when it has becOme the vitlim of those misfortunes to which .human life is perpetually exposed, when it is obscured by Novelty or declined in Age. The PRINcK of WALES, it is said, much . to the honour of' his Il lustrious Charatter,. has promised to be 'the Patron of an Institution, which obviously blends the portant interests of Utility and Beneficence., EXTRAORDINARY POLITENESS.—An Attisi bf eminence, who is not more distinguished by his talents than by the singularity of his charater, was lately waited upon by a brother of the pencil. The Artist first mentioned opened the door himself, (for he suffers no person to live with him in the same house) and held it in his hand. He said, I have brought three Gentlemen, countrymen of ours, who are very desirous to be favoured with the sight of some of your performances." " Sir," replied the Cynic, " you and your Irish friends are 'very troublesome," and without farther ceremony ihtit the door in his face ! A. Crins. Con. affair has been mentioned in- tlle Papers, which happened in India some yeatS ago, in which a celebrated Member of the Supreme Cuun cil) during the Administration of Mr. HASTINGS, was a party. The matter was brought to a trial, (and the first of the kind) in the Supreme Court, 'in Calcutta, Sir ELitAx - ImPEY, Chief Justice. The Plaintiff, a Mr. GRAND, got a verdift against the Member of Council, with very heavy damages. The Judgment was delivered by the late Sir Witt,tANt JONES, who, in giving the amount of the dirriages, said " Forty Thousand Rupees," upon which Judge HYDE, who sat next him, pulling him by the sleeve, said " Siccas, Brctber JortYs:, teas."--- This was from the atrocity of the case, a Sicca be ing higher in value than a current Rupee. We hear that Mr. GRAND, who is said to be husband to the present Madame TALL EY RA 14D, has lately returned fro,m the East Indies, and that pre viously to the late 'marriage of Monsieur TALL ry. RAND, he had an interview with him at Paris ; and, from' the events which have since taken place we may cCuclude it was . a 'very friendly one, Mr. G. having retired into Switzerland, and Mrs. G. hav ing become the rwife of the Minister. Twenty-eight houses, barns, and stables, were destroyed by fire on the zgth ult. at the village of Vendenheim, two leagues from Strasburg, • 71(Z TgEATIZZ. Drut:y-Lvie. KINC; HENRY THE FOURTH. MR. STEPHEN KEMBI,E, the Manager of the Newcastle Theatre, last night Tnade his first ap pearance at this place, in the clyrafler, of Falstaff. This A4tur has long been celebrated on Provincial Boards for his representation of the Fat Knight * and having been seen in it u few months ago at Scarborough, by Mr. SHERIDAN, he was invited by that Gentleman to perforiVitig Drury lane Theatre. . The part of Falst aff is, perliap:,one - of the most difficult in the whole round of the ComiC Drama.--• It demands great intelleaual acumen, with flowing hilarity, and companionable ease, a rare compound of qualities, and such as is rather to be expeEted in the imagination of the Poet, than in the representa. tion of the Aa - or. Hence different Performers. have acquired reputation in this part, not for presenting the whole combination of its properties, but for giving a principal feature with efFeEl - . gave the Satire forcibly, but in rather too crabbed a mariner. The late PALMER. was jovial, but did not adequately exhibit the penetrating shrewdness. KING was shrewd, but not sufficiently convivial. HENDEk•SON, upon the whole, blended all the qua• lities of the part with more success than any of its Representatives within our remembrance, but he laughed too much at his own merriment, and was too effeminate in his tones. Mr. STEPHEN KEMSLE had an arduous task to perform, in'following, so many excellent Adors, in so popular a ChamEter, and if he had fallen below all of them, the pleasant. manner in which he has ridiculed his own Person, in the IntroduCtory dress, would disarm CRITICISM, and incline her to favour his pretensions. He certainly understands the meaning of his Author critically, and gave the whole of the part With judgment and efeet. None of the points were lost, and he did not, resort to grimace, but his humour was rather lowland decla matory, than luxuriant and facetious,.- His com panions must be supposed to be rather afraid of his severity than inclined to particinate humour. Yet the cheerfulness; and the easy .merriment Of Fals!alS are to be .considered; as..the chief .at tra&ions by which he gains the favour of the Prince' We must again repeat t h at Mr. hEMBLE'S Fahte was judicious and critical, but it sheaved rather t.t.t% discerning mind and sarcastic spleen of the charaCter than its convivial spirit. It was, however, a very able performance, and such as fully to justify rh.; distinguished literary char:lEler whose favourablG opinion induced Mr. KEMBLE to visit the Wie-f tropolis.—The Audience received Mr. KEttpo; throughout with great applause, and seemed to bo very well satisfied with his performance. We cannot compliment' - Pore on his represental don of Hotspur. The impetuous fire, and n0)1 animation of the part were lost in a kind of indis.! . criminate clamour, or affeded• negligence.. Previous to the Play, the following Address wag delivered by Mr. BANNISTER, who, though muLli oppressed by a cold, contrived to make every ii;r c of it tett', to use, the theatrical lariguage, autx~ ramea considerable degree ?f mirth in the a:2.klicnce.
