The ball entered the stranger's body . 21 little above the hip, on the left side, went direa lY through him, and lodged in the skirt of his Coat on the right.

The as. sisrant took the road' to Rottingdean, and at length accreted himself in a cavity of the adjoining cliffs, Where he, the same day, was discovered by a man who a ccidentally happened to pass the place of his conceal. fie", who instantly secured him, and took him to the 1)4 ° 1 1c -house at RDttingdean; from whence,soon after, under a strong escort, he was reconduaed to Lewes : 'when dragged from his retreat in the cliff, by a sin- Pe person only, he was still armed with pistols : _ 6 c, however, made no resistance. On teaching they found that the Exciseman had like. lc been apprehended by the parties who had r ta ken in quest of him. They were, therefore, 4 'ert together before the Aaing Magistrates, pews SHILLEr and GREEN, who on hearing the a as stated, c omm itted them both to Lewes Gaol ; froth whence, it is expelled, they ,will be brought 11 1) for their final examination in the course of the W eek, and be fully committed for trial. The man ' N . ,ho rec e i ve d t h e i n j ury was li v i ng on Friday night, though no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Yesterd a y even i ng , a b out seven o'clock, a fire b roke -, out at a C oo p erag e, in Allhallows-lane, near -London-bridge, which entirely consumed the same, _ a nd da mage d the prem i ses a dj o i n i ng. A Fireman was ru n over b y an eng i ne , i n T oo l ey - str eet, and killed on the spot. He has left a wife and five children. Early on Monday morning last the cotton-mill, t le prop erty o f M r.

The Opera was Merope, the Music 14 NA . soLiNI ; that Composer of: ,clistinguished merit; who was lost to the Musical i:CTOrld, by an untimely death, at the age of thirty-six. the Opera is written in his most finished manner ; and supported, as it was, by the powers of Mrs. BILLINOTON, could not fail of pro ducing its due effea. Mrs. BiLtrstcrow was re ceived on those boards, which seem a situation so congenial to her powers, with reiterated ipplituse. Her 'first Aria was executed with all that neatness And precision that distinguish her performance; the'Bra. vura, at the close of the first aft, displayed that bril liancy of tone, and rapidity of executing divisions, for which she is unequalled. The Duo between Mrs. , BILLINCTON and VIGANONI was an exhibition of profound Musical Science. The Species of Soliloquy of the first singer, and the side-play of the second, although very difficult in execution, had every ef feet that could be expefted, both to shew the science and taste of the Performers. VIGANONI'S late Coronation at Paris has apparently given attivity to his exertions. Mrs..I3ILLINGTON very natural ly reserves the great display of her powers to her last Song, which appears, indeed, to be a ne plus ultra, in musical execution. Upon the whole, it is possible that some Performers may have attained to Mrs. Bii,LnicroN's excellence, in some parts of her singing, but we think that we may boldly de clare that the dnion of so many musical excellencies, were never before foiind in the same peison. Signora GERBINI, the new singer; had much to combat, in a first appearance, and with such Talents as Mrs. BILLING•rox's, by which to draw a corn paiison ;, but she acquitted herself with infinite ere_ diet ; and the Oatin applause she drew,- was well merited. Her voice is full-toned and iliellovvi of considerable extent ; and she displayed a great knowledge of Music ; her first Aria was executed with considerable effett; her powers are extensive and sweet. _ _ _ The Ballet, after the first aft, is of the Anacreon tic Style, probably to introduce Mons. .and Madame CoKALL f, the new dancers, to. the Public their Pas de Deux is a fine Piece of dancing. Madame Coa ALL! may be said to be distinguished for grace and elegance, and CoRALLI for atlivity., We think the steadiness of both; after a Pirouette; is worthy of attention, and perhaps of imitation to some of their Companions. The grand Ballet of La Fdret Ench aWidle followed, which is a performance of great effed, in point of Scenery ; and got up with much expence. The CORALLIS, in this Ballet, had more pleasing Mu sic allotted to them, and were warmly applauded. A scene, accompanied entirely on the Harr, gave PAR tiOt an opportunity of fascinating the Aiidience, by the elegance of her motion, and the grace of her attitude. The performer on the Harp seems to be a new, and is a valuable acquisition to the Or chestra. A Par de Trois, with PARISOT, LABORIE, and CORALLI, is a beautiful and finished Nlor ceau ; the Music, variations on a movement of PLEYEL'S: In this we had an opportunity of ad. miring the poWelt of the Harp, which, although genetally calleda feeble Instrument in an Orchestra, was distin&ly heard in a Solo, in the extreme parts of the House. The OtcHESTRA contains its usual excellencies. --WE CHSE Li at the head of the Band, accompanies with spirit and effed. His Pianos and Fortes are judiciously adapted—At last we have the pleasure of hearing Horns in the Orchestra—lnstruments may be refined, so as to destroy their use. The Horns of the Opera are the most powerful we re member to have heard, and exhibit as much science and execution, as effed. ' The House, in general, was full ; the Gallery, in particular, overflowing with the best Company. The Boxes, as usual at the commencement of the Season, thinly attended. His Royal Highness the DUKE of You( was in his Box, and ,the best Fa shion in town were present. STErREY IcEMBLE'S, present engagement at Drury-lane Theatre, which finally closes his per formances at that place, is for six nights, upon the former terms, but with the addition of a Benefit, the expences of which he is to pay. He has cer tainly been of much service to the Theatre, and will return to the North, with a considerable in crease of reputation, which is by no means the worst part of his profits. Miss DE CAMP, it seems, is somewhat better, though by no means likely to resume her station soon on the Theatrical Boards. Her situation was indeed alarming, when she had three' Physicians. Amongst the new Performers engaged for the ensu. ing season at the Haymarket Theatre, is Mr. BURNE, who obtained a first-rate reputation in Ireland for the powers of his voice, and his scientific manner of exerting them. The old Theatre at Liverpool' is pulling down, and the new one is to be completed by the ist of June next. It is to be made capable of holding 3501. The management has reverted to Mr. LEW is and Mr. KNIGHT of Covent Garden. Sir SIDNEY SMITH sat in the same Box with General ANDREOSSI, on Saturday last, at the Opera, and they seemed to be upon the most friendly terms of intimacy. This circumstance may be mentioned, as a proof of the manly darader of the French Am bassador, as the Defender of Acre must certainly be far from a favourite with the CHIEF CONSUL. We are sorry to hear that poor GIORDANI, the celebrated musical composer, is at present, from age, infirmity, and the pressure of a large family, reduced to the greatest extremity of distress, in Dublin. The price of The House to he Sold must be consi derably lowered, since the best part of the Furniture is taken away. By the List of the Benefit Receipts of the Seam, at the Liverpool Theatre, it appears, that Mr. YOUNG gained more than either Mrs. Br Lt.t NGTOI4 or Mrs. JORDAN. Mr. YOUNG is the son of a Gentleman at Liverpool, and is said to Bosom great Theatrical sac it kARIS; Dges t, .„ MUSTAPHA ARNOUTLtfIVOy' from the BEY O'f TUNIS, was admitted last t;nnday to an audience of the FIRST CONSUL ai the Palace of St. Cle,nd. He explained, by means of his interpreter, the ob_ jea. of his Mission, which was _to congratulate the FIRS' coNstn, on his eleaion to the Consulate for life, and to express an hope that the 1 IRST CON sut would grant his friendship grid proteaion to Tiin . The General of Division, ISO jut ET, who has ar rived from St. Domingo, brings intelligence resj,eft ing the situation of that Colony, which must en tirely dissipate the malevolent and alarming reports which have been raised. At the Review of the z3d of September, the Army was found to consist of 4,006 Infantry of the Line, s'ooo Light Infantry, zoo() Gendarmerie, 2000 Artillery, and so° Ca valry, amounting altogether to 23,500 men, Whites from Europe, and of 4000 Black Colonial Troops. Of these Troops there were in the Hospitals z6OO Infantry of the Line, i too Light Infantry, ago Gendarmerie, and 400 Artillery. There remains, therefore, between IS and 19,000 Whites, fit for service, and near 4000 Blacks. The number of sick in the Hospitals was, doubtless, considerable; but it does not amount to above a fifth of the whole. The rainy season having set in, it is prJbable that by the latter end of October there would be a di minution of one half in the Hospitals. The men who have perished since the debarka tion of the Army, either by disease or the sword, amount to about a• fifth. This review was passed with the greatest strictness, and the result signed by General LECLERC, the Inspector of Reviews, and General DUGUA, Chief of the Etat Major. All those Troops which arrived in December, January, and February, and who have had time to become accustomed to the climate during the winter, have suffered much less than the others from the disease, Veen; not only at St:. Dbinivo, but throughout America, much more dangerous than usual. In the Review there was not comprised the 86th Regiment, consisting of More than 2000 veterans, accustomed to a iouthern,diniate, who arrived in :he latter end of Odober. As to the situation of the Countty, the Spanish part and the Southern part were in a state of per_ felt tranquillity. In the Canton of je; , -ein;e alone some accidents had happened. Some hundreds of the Brigands, profiting by the excessive heat, which rendered all action impossible, committed ravages, and even burnt,some plantations in the Plain of the Cape; but it is well known, that in the midst even of the most tranquil Departments it is imposible to arrest the Incendiaries. Of 60,000 musquets which were in the possession of the Blacks, 45,000 have been returned into the magazines ; and General LECLERC reckoned, that, after the first fifteen or twenty days of the rainy season had passed, he should be able to march, to wards the latter end of November, for the purpose of dispersing the remaining assemblies formed in the Mountains. completing the disarming of the Blacks, and destroying the means of subsistence which they had colleded. The Cape was almost entirely rebuilt, and all the towns which were burnt a year since, are re building with,the greatest activity (Moniteur.) . Six Battalions, of different Corps, chosen from amongst the strongest men of the Demi-brigade, embarked On the loth or a ith ult. at Toulon. It is thought that their destination is for St. Domingo The Chief of Brigade, BOR.T ON, has also embark. ed for that Island, where he is to fulfil the funaions of Direaor General of Artillery. They write from Zurich, that in the night be. tween the 13th and 14. th of November, the Citizens arrested in that City were carried away in two carriages, under a French escort, but where is not positively known. BASLE, Nov. i3.—Several nominations have been made within these few days past for the Colt_ sulta, at Paris. The Canton of Rhetia (the Gri sons), have sent the Senator SURECHER, Minister of Police and of .justice, and the Prefea PLANTA. The City of Berne ha deputed M. GR tin ER, Pre sident of the Municipality, and the Ex-Patricians WATTENWYL, JENNER, and HALLER. M. MU ' LININ has refused to accept his nomination. Se veral Communes, of the Canton of Appenzel, have appointed the Receiver-General of the Canton of Citizen LUBER, to attend to their interests at the Congress at Paris. According to a Decree of the Senate, the Mem bers of the Insurreaiongl Authorities are called upon personally; and substantially, to restore all money and effeas belonging to the Republic, which they seized during the momentary triumph of the Oligarchic party. RAT ISBON, NOV. 20.—The Deputation of the Empire held its twenty-eighth Sitting the day be fore yesterday, when it voted a auc/usum, im porting that a Definitive Conclusum should be im mediately prepared. In the same Sitting, a Decree of Imperial Com mission was read, in which the Minister of His IMPERIAL MAJESTY formally required the Depu tation not to separate before they had finally de cided upon the lot of those Princes and Ecclesiasti cal Corporations, who, by the cession of the Left Bank of the Rhine, have been entirely dispossessed of their Territories, referring to a preceding Con durum, by which the Deputation agreed to provide sufficient funds for the maintenance of those who would cease to exist as States of the Empire. The body of a mason named Cross, was, on Mon day last, found in the river near Tone-bridge : he was returning home on Saturday night, in a state of ebriety, and:is supposed to have fallen over the bridge; a small dog which he .had with him went home on Sunday, and on Monday, his wife alarmed at his stay, proceeded to Taunton for the purpose of inquiring the cause. She took the dog with her, and on her reaching the bridge, the animal began howling, leaped on the parapet, and could not be removed from the spot ; this induced a search, and the body was found a short distance below, whither the current had carried it, and in the ;lethal direc tion of the spot from whence the dog had Eo dis. atani‘fested that he had faller►, 0;0 t'il H .

OLD .BAILEY, 'FOURTH DAY--SATtitpA - :, D2C. 4.. , Mau Sm.;th was charged with, a capital offence, in feloniously stealing, on ,the 'loth of November, five Bank of England 31. Notes, and a certain draft,, or order, for the payment 01241. 45. privately,,frorn the Perron of John Solomons, his property., . - The Proiectißk stated; that he had been at Drury_ lane Theatre, on the 19th of November, in company with his friend, Mr 6 : the Play .was over about twelve, and they procetogether to their residence in the City ; they stopped, however, for a short time at the../litre in Fleet-sr,:eet, where they had a glass of brandy and water. When they came to St. Paul's Church-yard, and lad just turned the cornet near a Bookseller's-shop, they were accosted by the Prisoner who asked him, (the Pre: - 4 secutor), to give her, a shilling ti; drink. He told her he had rio money, and bid her,,go about hei business: she put her hands for a moment about his breeehes4ocket, he felt her hands about the' place; but perceived nothing particular at the - instant. She then went away he came up with his friend, who was a little before him ; and when they . had got about six yards farther, he felt in his breeches pocket, and found be. had been robbed of the pro., perty laid in the Indictment : the notes and draft were rolled up together. Hetcoiiimunicated his loss to his friend, and instantly turned back in order to , look for the Prisoner. She was about three yards behind them. He accused her with robbing him 7, he did not well recoiled the answer she made; but he proceeded to search her pockets, and in the left. hand pocket he found his property. He called the watchman, and had her taken to the watch-house. She wanted.him to let her go as he had got all his property; He had kept the notes ever since : thG order had been negotiated : the notes were pro, duced, and lie swore to them being those which tha Prioner took from him. He said he was perfeftly sober at the time, He made tht. charge reguiariy against the Prisoner before the Constable of they Night The Soil; after conferring some time, found at verdita of Guilty of stealing, but not privately, from the person.. Abraban Laud was indicted for stealing on tht z3d of November, ten ounces of thrown silky value 11. 'cis. the property of Tobias . Hammond Smith. The Prosecutor it appeared is a Merchant's Agent ; the silk in question was in his charge; aria lay in a bale, upon Galley Quay ; he was liable to make good all losses respecting it. AbOnt nine o'clock on the day stated in the indklment, the Prisoner was observed by one of the Watchmen standing near the bale of silk, and adUal4taking some cut of it ; he was immediately laid hold of and searched ; the quantity of silk abode stated, was taken out of his jacket pocket ; the quantity weighed near 54 - ounces, and was of the thrown or double kind of silk ; the identity as nearly as the nature of the article admitted, was proved by tho Prosecutor. The Prisoner having nothing to offer in his de.. fence, was immediately found Guilty.--He was a sailor, and a very good looking lad. John Cardler was found' guilty, after a trial of some length, (in which nothing either very curiou* or remarkable transpired) on the capital charge of sheep stealing—Death. Peter Freeman and James Small were "severally indided, the former for stealing zoo yards of iron rail.way, the property of the London Pack'Gom pany ; and the latter for stealing a large iron bolt, the property of the said Company ; however, the evidence adduced on those cases, was such as to in. duce the Jury to acquit both prisoners. Sarah Chard was con vided of stealing a shift, bed gown, and other articles, the property of James Crump Lowe. CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 6.
