of Europe with more ease than the Geographer can I P ° ssibly delineate them. Thus, the Trebbia is to be henceforth the limit between Piedmont and Loin_ bardy, and all the territory on the right bank of that river, as far as the Enza, is to form a part of the Italian Republic. This modern distribution of p o wer, whenever it shall become expedient to ar range it definitively, will exalt from every States. fan in Europe, an union of great talents, modera tions and firmness. As,see have observed already, i n our Paper of yesterday, its will be requisite to 11 ) on a solid foundation, a new system of inter course between the different Nations of Europe. 'Qat enlightened plan of policy, the basis of which W as planned at Westphalia, and afterwards enforced by the Treaty of Munster ; that policy which cost much blood and misery to cement, and which has be en grossly abused and violated within the last tw elve years, must be again revived under such mo. tilfieations as shall prevent the whole, of the Conti- We nt of Europe from tumbling into the horrors of extensive Conquest. It is i n vain for Public Writers to assert, that in th e novel arrangements of empire, the Law of Na. ti ons is altogether extinguished. Those who form their deduaions from any precedent analogies, ex. c rafted from the History of Modern Europe, are not eors e ft in their reasoning, because they would ap ply to an unprecedented event, the same species of argument which re l ates only to known fans.

THE Passage Vessel employed between Swanage and this place, in returning to the former, being close under the high land of the Isle of Purbeck, a sudden gust of wind took her, and overset her in an instant. The Passengers and Crew were all fortunately saved, by their having a Boat on the deck, which they very providentially got hold of. Capt. STACKPOOLE is appointed to the command of the Alonzo Sloop. Mr. WARE, late Surgeon of the Boyne, is ap pointed by Earl ST. VINCENT a Commissioner of the Sick and Hurt Board, in the room of Dr. JOHN STOV, deceased. A vessel, which is arrived from • Cadiz, has brought advices that Rear-Admiral Lttgois's di vision, which sailed from Cadiz the middle of last month for St. Domingo, consisted of four French Sail of the Line and two Frigates, with 3000 troops on board. The Soldiers were mostly Germans and Poles, who had served in the French Army in Italy. A French Line of Battle Ship, one of the Fleet that sailed frOm Brest for St. Domingo, put in there a short time before in a very leaky state, and was pre paring to go into dock. - By this ship,. the melan choly account. was received of a Frigate belonging to the Fitet having foundered, with Soo troops on board. The Militia Regiments, it is now pretty amt_ rately ascertained, will be disembodied in April. The loth of March was the day originally fixed for all Militia Officers to join their respedive Corps, preparatory to the whole being disembodied ; they are not now required to join their Regiments,: for the purpose above mentioned, till the i4th of April. CENTRAL ORDERS. (CIRCULAR) trig Hasse Guards, 2oth February, 1802. I have the honour to inform you, that in consideration of the present Circumstances of the Country, His Royal High ness the Commander in Chief is pleased to extend the period during which you alit at liberty to use your discretion in complying with application of leave of absence from Officers ot . the Militia; from the loth day of March, to the r4th day of April.

Though from the temporary indisposition of Mr. Abbt NGTOIV, for whose health every friend of his Country, and of Peace, must be interested, there has been a pause in political debate, the concerns of the people have not been negieeted in Parliament. The SPEAKER has every day taken the Chair for private business at three o'clock, and has been duly attended by the Members : at once a proof of their regard to their Constituents, and of their respell and satisfaction towards him, who now is not only said, but proved to possess those qualities which fit him for his elevation, and among which his De cision is not the least conspicuous and beneficial to • the Public. The Government of France is forming a Cavalry Corps, consisting of IVlamelukes, Copts ; 34c. which came from Egypt: It will be 400 strong. The French Government Will not suffer either English horses or carriages to go into France, not even travelling equipage. It is a remarkable instance of sound health in the 26th, or Cameronian Regiment of Foot l just landed from Egypt, that during their passage out and home, and their residence in that hostile climate, the Regiment buried only fifteen men, and these recruits just joined ; there is not a sick man among them the tanned complexion of these hardy vete rans gives them quite the appearance of an Eastern Regiment. A soldier of the 4th Regiment (William Couse) was taken up on Thursday night, in the aft of dressing in, women's attire for the Opera House, and carried before Sir.Rt CHARD FORD, on a charge of felony's by whom he was committed to the House of Corration. It appears this fellow bas been in the constant habit, with several awiociates of a- similar description, of attending Mascitierades in the dres3 of won - len. On Thuhday night a Gentleman's house in Al_ bion.place, Blackfriars, was broke open,. and robbed of 3o guineas in gold, plate, &c. ?AI!,S Ftii. ft. • IT was announced in a Brest Journal, that Gen.'

This General will de part immediately in the Tourvitic, which is to join the Batavian Division, and the Zile, forming the second Expedition to St. Doiningo, of which he will have the Command. STC)CKHOLM, FEri. I.—The report circulated in .many of the German Journals, which announce's that Swedish Pomerania has been placed in mortgage for several Millions, has caused a great sensation in this capital. Whatever may have been the state of our Finances, we cannot believe that our Monarch would ever have reduced to this dilemma, one of his finest Provinces, from which he has hitherto derived the greatest advantages. The Ports of Po;'nerania have been open to us when all the other Har bours of the Baltic have been shut against us. To this reason of - public utility, is to be added the proofs of attachment which have been conti nually, and are still. every day given by the Inhabitants of that Country towards their Monarch, of which he must be too well convinced, to desire a separation. .His Majesty Will no doubt seek, on the contrary, to draw still closer the ties which unite P omerania with the Mother Country. According to Letters from Malaga, the Swedish Squadron under the Command of the Contre Admiral Baron de EDERSTROM is arrived here, after a plea sant voyage of 28 days. The vessels which carry the Presents to the PActrA of TUNIS have departed from Malaga for their destination, after taking on board the necessary Passports. NANC I, FEB. 16.—There have passed through here, M. SC II 13 ER ING and M. KANDINGER, Si.tere. taries of His Imp ER tAr, MAJESTY of Germany, who proceed first to Paris,. to 'confer with Ni. de CO B E NTIE I, and from thence to Madrid; also M. le Baron de SPEC [IL, Chamberlain of the ELECTOR of MAYENCE, and M. le Baron de WAL 13 RUNN, Lieutenant of the Hanoverian Guards, going to Paris on a mission from their. respeCtive Govern. ments. GeNOA, FEB. 6.—Amongst a great number of Vessels which arrived in this Port tO-day, there is one direct from Londonin thirty diys, with English . . Merchandize. . . HAGUE, FEB. r2.-We are occupied here with raising a Regiment of Dragoons tor the garrison of the Cap of Good Hope. Our Re,:rtliters send here a number of German, who enlist with pleasure in this new Corps,.where the pay is greater than in our European Army. There will also be at the Cape a Corps Of Wit temburgh Troops, to be paid by the R'tpublit. The expences of the State for the current year, amount to the 'sum of 65,931,775 florins. Its Re venues cannot be estimated at a greater sum than 3 I or 32 millions. BERNE, FEB. 11.—They speak much here of the arrival of General BACHMANN, who, it is said, will come to Berne as the Plenipotentiary of the ELECTOR of BAVARIA, to obtain from our Go vernment permission to form two Swiss Regiments. It is also said, that the Court of Spain desires to have two new Swiss Regiments. FRANKFORT, FEB. 14.—1 t is hoped that tile affair of the Indemnities is about to assume a more decisive aspen}. M. HUG EL has announced his speedy arrival at Patisbon, in quality of Imperial Plenipo tentiary, and he will be, as it were, the President of the Deputation. He will have the same character which His Imperial Majesty's Plenipotentiary bore at Rastadt, and his funCtions will resemble those of the ancient Imperial Commissaries at the Imperial Chamber. There will of course be an uniformity between the powers entrusted to M. HucEL, and those which his Sub-dcicgate M. SC I-1 RANK, will reccivc. what confirms the news of the speedy convocation of the Deputation of the Empire, is, that the AR . GIiDGItE has charged the Deputy of the Teutonic Order to .prepare a convenient lodging for the Plenipotentiary which that Prince is to send to that Assembly: Citizen LAFOREI', the French Minister at the Court of Bavaria, arrived .at Munich on the 3d of February. Mr. JONES'S bland hack, engaged to rtin twenty miles within the hour, did so on Wednesday the z4th inst. on NeWmarket Heath, having near three minutes to spare. The match was for 100 guineas, the rider to be as light as the owner chose.—The odds were in favour of the performanee'4" .l .The Colossal Statue of the Ekusinian Ceres, the Work of Phidias, given by Pericles,to her Temple at Eleusis, has been removed thence by two Gen.. tlemen of Jesus College, Cambridge, on their tra. eels in .

Drama of L'etziLy the F6 , a;tl: was repeated; Mr. COOKE Again appeared in thc' Charaeiet Falstaff, and it is but justice ., to his merit to say; that the Public hare not seen so able a representa tion of the charaßer for many years:, It was a manly, spirited, and judicious piece of waing throughout ; critical without affcCiation, and sati rical without asperity. HEND ERSON excited nior laughter, but rendered the chayatier more effeminatt% Falive utters bitter sarcasms and Landes jokes with the Prinre, but all these jokes are rather se. - vtre than Merry. As a proof that Ffil.ita . l was na intended to be so familiarly jocose as people in gei; ealseem to suppose, he is represented as proud by one of the charaders * and is accused of being jerti fid by another. The truth is, Palstql possesses much wit; and much humour ; but it is chiefly of a biting and satirical kind: In our opinion * Cooke conceived - the part attne rately, and performed it with appropriate spirits He introduced the Scene in which Falstaff assumes the charader of the King ; and lelures the Prince on his levities. He gave no more into the tradi tional tricks of the part * than was necessary to gra tify the Audience with what they had been accus tomed to see, but omitted much of its hacknied. buffoonery. Nothing could be more happily given than " Do yoU think 1 did not know you,'' and his description of his ragged Regiment. On the whole * COOK S'S Falstaff is one of his very best efforts, and a very excellent proof of theatric,:l skill. MU R RAY was so hoarse that many of his speeches were omitted. LE wis had all his usual animation. and gaiety in the, Prince' of Wales. The part osi Hotspur displayed the abilities of Mr. Stu DONS in avery favourable point of view, though we did not think that there was a suffiCient expression of that fiery temper which is the essential principle a the parr. The 1-louse was very well attended, and COOK E in particular excited much applause. The Masquerade at the Opera House on Thursday night was very numerously attended. There were three Bands of Music, one in the Great Concert Room, another in the Saloon of the Theatre, and a third, the Band of the Duke of GLOUCESTER',t‘ Regiment of Guards, played martial airs during the whole night in the Grand Entrance. There was an uncommon .dearth of charaders ; an .A.clor l a Mercury, a Jew, and a few Harlequin', were thd leading personages of the evening. All the parties seemed.better. pleased with dancing than with at» tempts at wit, and consequently this formed the chief divertisement of the night. A cold supper was provided at one o'clock, a - nd the time .pased away with much hilarity and mirth. • The new Comedy which is announced at Drury,4 Lane Theatre, under. the title of Lovers' Resolu;. t.iwis, is the produdion of Mr. ER L AND i and, according to report, is written in his best manner. The chief eliarader, wie- understand, is marked with all' the vigour which appears' in the Author's fine portrait of misanfliftipir', benevolence, his,Pciiruci., dad. It is expeEted that the new Ballet whiel ii pre paring at Covent-Garden Theatre will be one br the most splendid works Of the ,kind . that the Public have seen for many years. The scene, as ive before stated, lieS in Poland, and the Whtile is put toge.; cher by VAWCETT, the Ador. • It-is reported in the Theatrical circles, that Mra SIDDON . 5, of Covent-Garden Theatre's is going to lead Miss MURRAY, of that Theatre, to the hyme neal shrine. They are both so promising in their prdfession, and so respedable in private lifej that' such an union seems very likely to promote the hap, piness of the parties'. The Prirccss de MONACCY, the cbere.amie of the Prince de CONDE, came in the last 'Packet from Harnburg - h ; and on Thursday she arrived at Lord Tilncy's house; on Epping Forest, which the Prince has taken for three 'years as his residence, at 3501. per annum. 'The Supper ceftainly takes place on Monday.

Miss Dc CAMP is a sufferer already . by the new Theatre.—lt has .drawn a crowd of pick-pockets and robbers to Tottenham-court-road; who hitherto have carried on their depredations further from the purlieus of Sr. 'Giles's. A man who calls himself 1/ 1 7. 7 . 7 iatit tow, but which it is supposed is not his real name, was on Thursday evening examined before Sir R. Fo.tt at Bow-street, on stspiCion of having committed divers frauds on different tradesmen and coffee house keepers in this metropolis. The Prisoner's mode of carrying on his nefarious trade was to gd to a coffee-house, have what he wanted; and then; under pretence, either of going to fetch his box front an inn, or to * his Agent to receive money (gene.: rally representing himself . to be an Officer), desird some person might be permitted . to go with hit% in order to get the amount of their bill,' take tin OpPortUnity of running away froM' theth in the street.; and when he' %Vent to tradesmen to order gooth, would sometimes adopt the same Mode, 'of direr thetti to lie sent .
