I Evening, 13 minutes after 7, By &Heligoland Mail, and Bremen Papers to the 18th, received this morning,, we are put in possession of the very gratifying and important het*, which will be found under the usual head. We'clo tint expect any but good news from the Continent ; but we confess, that this is not only of greater magnitude, but even more advantageous in its whole tenour, than we bad ventured to anticipate. The grand finale to the Tyrant's pro apiiiiirritlie 'Elbe fs evidently at hand: If the -141.1,14 Government were to persevere in its base en d mischievous attachment to BUONAPARTR, its c ' hst inacY would be punished even by its own subjects. All Holstein has declared for the Allies, Ould.%vhile the Landwehr .have positively refused to : navel against them, and dissolved themselves ; in some places 'the population have proceeded so far Uto maltreat the French. But there is no Probability of the Danish Cabinet holding eut4n Y longer. All Holstein has been over-run, and the Allied troops possess it wholly from Biel In the Baltic to the mouth of the Eider, be bind "'Well river the Danish force has taken up Its station.

The Danish advanced posts are ordered not to fire on the Cossacks—a strong proof that .Den .l4lk has been drubbed and terrified into a sense of ,honest a poli_cy and national justice.

The surrender of ZaMOSC is officially confirmed. knd Modlin, the last fortress held by, the foe on The Vistula, has offered to capitulate. But the most important part of the news, and g i 'eatly important it is, is that the whole con tingent of the Germanic Princes, the ci-devant C 'nfederption of the Rhine, ate to be in Arms upon Ih4t 'liver on the Ist January. Their numbers are "Pntvd to Amount to 360,000 incn,and the no ss of °)e entire Alli e d Force at the enormous amount e} "" 0 0 well disciplined, admirably organized, anti —v•,,, • orions 'l l Varriors.—Let BUON'APARTE'S. 1!).11/i9 P 4 raw Conscripts Meet them, and Peace CRY he safely made in I.lnrOpe ! ! i 3 1 1301 c than hinted, that there will be no 71eutrdl itY in Switzerland ; indeed in the circinn- Jknee s of the world such a thing could not be. e l'tenth arc fortifying Geneva and Benancon. We have to-clay a further packet of French Pa- P's to the 26th, ,the contents of Which continue t o be deceptive and unimportant.'t hey l state no i '") of material interest, and the affairs they do to notice arts so obscurely and mysteriously 14"iioned, that it is only possible to learn from 41 / e Uatentents, that the ,Usurper no good 11 t. ' 4 '3 to afford the Parisians. The point which at 1lte3 " 1 conies n eare st to mu. feelings is the ar t * tel e from Bayonne of the 19th, which says, that 411 t he preceding day the British made two region= 1"4341 1ees frog the side of St. Martin D'Arborone, 141 hieb Were reptilbeawith loss to our 1 tith Dragoons, , 4 " 141 SotYL T had ordered the right bank of the ""uraad both hanks of the Bidouseto be inundated. 1. ) , g to direct the particular attention of our, ca 475 to the n ame o f t h e last-inehtionA river, ter 'Too that hinges the ‘vhole meaning and value tr this communication. The. Bidouse has, in the t alls hltion &tun the French, been erroneously fen kiddasson, and thus all the Morning Papers o u'e into a misconception. The Biddassoa "'gallant troops passed tong ago, as the boundary, tween spill') and Fefince ; it runs in a course : 111 n eatly East to West (inclining a little North (l) amon g t h e P yrennres, and falls into the Bay Of Ili ac, B „ ut. ay, b e t ween P ontcrahia and Andaye. Had penetrated to this stream to open tlic sluices on its banks, then; indeed, we should hare I:J4 tea ' son to fear that there were some latent truth in the Gallic claims of success near Bayonne; but this is, thank Heaven, nothing near the real :Acne of action. The Bidouse rises on the French side of the Pyrennecs, and running nearly north, washes the town of Bidache, about twelve miles east from Bayonne, and disembogucs itself into the Adour. Thus, instead of being in the rear of Lord LINGTON, it is upon his right, and the inundations resorted to by the enemy are clearly their' last desperate resource to stop the victorious progress of our gallant Army in a general advance against Bayonne and all their -positions : had any proof therefore been wanting of the importance and brilliancy of our achievements from the 9th to the 13th, it is to be found in this admission on the part of an adversary not apt to let the truth peep out, if he - cad by any artifice or falsehood con ceal it. We are most impatient for the receipt of Lord WELLINGTON'i Dispatches which we are now ap- Treliensive the stormy weather may have prevent ed from reaching this Country. Most sincerely do we pray, that no accident may have happened to the Messenger charged with the gratifying tidings, and our anxiety is increased by the knowledge of the concern and apprehension which pervade almost every British bosom in the interim between the information of a battle hav- ing been tonght, and the publication of the names of those who have bled for their country. We shall, therefore, lose no time, and spare no pains, in laying the first accounts that may arrive before the public. The other subjects touched upon in the French Papers are of less moment. We are again for the fiftieth time assured, that all is secure and quiet on the Rhine—an assurance hardly credible, did it come from a 3011ECe on which reliance could be placed, and' utterly unworthy of belief as ema nating from BUONAPARTR. On the side of Hol land, several advantages are pretended to,. but we have later intelligence from the Waal, which dis proves these reports. A demonstration of an of . fensive movement from Ante.rerp towards Breda is also spoken of, but it is not whispered that Breda is in the possession of the Allies ! We are of opinion, that the Antwerp force will have quite enough to do to defend itself. From Italy the news are of the same moderate kind—the victorious BEAUHARNOIS is behind the Adige in one of the strongest ,positions the coun try affords—the first whence the French were beaten in the glorious Campaign of 1799, which to all appearance is about to have a counterpart added to it, as we arc informed from Bremen, that -40,000 Russians are ordered to join General /im mix's already superior Army, From such a junc tion, may wo not expect the second edition of SU WARROW, and the entire restoration to independ ence of every State in Italy. The proceedings of the Legislative Body on the 22d and 23d, consist in the election 'of their Com mittee of five, &c. accordingito the mode prescrib ed by BUONAPARTE. These Instruments arpa_ rently chosen by Ballot, but in reality selected by the Tyrant, arc to be placed under the direction Of CANBACRAES, REGNAUD DE ST. JEAN D'ANGE-• cr, and REGNIER (of Massa) and au attempt will be made to sink the Legislative Assembly into an absolute Cypher, while these worthy Heroes do the business of the Usurper. That his affairs are neither ripe nor as yet consonant to his willies, is, we think very evident from the singular postponement of the audience to be given to the Minister of War, which was to have taken place on the 24th inst. but is now fixed for the Bth of next month. The French Funds remain nearly stationary— no symptom of peace being expected . in that country, Letters from Holland are said to have been re ceived to the-2,lth inst. by a vessel which reached Grave Send yesterday morning. Neither Nuarden or Gorcum had yet , surrendered. - Great activity was employed in assembling the forces of the country, and in accelerating the movements of the Allies ; and the most flattering hopes were enter tained of the speedy expulsion o f t h e enem y.. • A private Letter from Gottenhnrgh,of the 15th, gives us reason to suppose that peace will imme diately be concluded between Sweden and Den mark ; the latter ceding the Bishopric of pron. theim. There was a report at Gottenbnigh that the Danish privateers bad been called in. • At Copenhagen, the exchange on London has risen to 160 rix-dollars per 11. ; but on Ham burgh, has fallen there to 3,400 rix-dollars for 100 rix-dollars Hamburg,' Bank-money : an enor mous exchange, which shoes the great deprecia tion of the Danish -paper-money. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yonx will leave town on Thursday, to join the Potuer. Re- GENT, preparatory to the grand baptismal cere mony of the Marquis of Gstaktir.

W. J. THE THEATRE. After the Comedy of 4 Bold Stroke . for a Wife, which was well supported by 13ANNISTRR, ANN Des, DOWTON. and Mrs. GLovan, the new Pall• toinime of Harlequin Harper, or A Jump fur Ja pan, %vas repeated. The several changes in the mac hi ner y, &e. went off with increased facility and precision. On the appearance of the Dog, a considerable clamour arose. Part otthe audience were in favour of this new Performer, but the majority were obviously hostile to his mode of acting. When this candidate, for theatrical how flours withdrew, the Pantomime proceeded without interruption, till towards the conclu sion, when a new tumult arose with a call for a song that had been omitted. The Magician of the piece came forward, but he was not Con juror enough to allay the storm. At length Mr. RAYMOND appeared, but he was not more success ful, and therefore retired. lie appeared a second time, but it was impossible to hear what he said, though it was reported that he signified the dog should be withdrawn, and that .the vocal per formers had quitted the Theatre. A few turbulent spirits remained in the gallery long after the ma jority of the aadience had ideparted. Friday evening the play of The Stranger vt.&; performed at Whitehaven, for the benefit of Mr. CII4IILES 144101. E. During the (pinch act,. Mrs. CRUSE, who performed the character of 'Mrs. Haller, appeared very much agitated, and when the bell rung for the fifth act, the audience were informed that she was " very seriously indispos 7 rd." The part •was pleasingly read by Miss Ghoul . In the interim, Mrs. CRUSE had been taken into the ladies dressing-room ; Medical as sistance was at hand ; anti before the curtain dropped,, she was safely delivered of a s til4-born child !--Mrs. Ceuta had played Joliet only the preceding evening, with great applauSe. • Several accidents have already come to our knowledge, occasioned by the late very heavy fogs. Several coaches on the North road, were over turned, although no. partienlar mischietoceurted. A poor svomatr, a laundress, of the name of Maggs, fell from a height of six feet, whilst walking on the Bayswater footpath,, and was taken to the has. pital in a dangerous state. •An alit man of the name of Beaumont, was run over by a stage in crossing from Swalkw-street.• to Oxford -street, and had a leg broke, and other minor accidents anti robberies took place. enax-Extuar,foE, 49.•--We bra no fresh arrivals of Wheat or Out* this morning, and hut little doing in those articles ; what Sales were effected were at the last !rotations, There was a tolerable supply of Barley fresh in this morning, whiLli met a ready si de at au-adratica ails. per quarter.

When the Court:of Directors shall be thus cm stituted, we ere convinced that, so br from Hier" being any opposition on. the part of the Proprit. tors to an increase ofsalary to the Directors, thgy will enearfully propose such an augmentation :as would be honourable to both parties.
