The Gazette of Manheim gives the following in telligence from the Brisgau Our country had been divided, by the Treaty of Presburgh, between t h e Ki ng o f Wirtemberg and the Grand Duke of Baden ; we now, however, learn with satisfaaion, 'that the whole will have the same Master. The part of Wittemberg will, under the auspices of France, be ceded to the Grand Duke of Baden; who will give in exchange, to His Majesty of Wirtem berg, his possessions situate in the centre of Swabia.

GOT i2:031110H, SEPT. S. A Russian Courier arrived, yesterday, in eight days from Sc Petiusburgh, with important dis- patches for England. All the accounts from St. Petersbargh, agree in stating, that the Emperor has refused to ratify the Treaty made with Franc?, and that D'Oul..til is in some disgrace for having gone bryond his instruc tions. The Russian army has been considerably augmented, and .t;00,009 tratii are mai) , to march at a moment's warning The command of them will be given (it is said) to the Old General Karmin. skay, who was famous in the time of Catharine. A private letter from Stockbolm states, that a new coalition is forming against France, to consist of Russia, Prussia, 8 sedan, England, Saxony, Hesse, &c. if this be true, peace mast be yet at a distaace ! THE BRITISH PIKE SS. LONDON. MONDAY, SErramaLa 15. Mr. Fos died et four o'clock on Satutday. The melancholy event was announced at Devonshire 113 use, in the evening, by the following Bulletin : • " D.:Vonshire House, Eight &Clock. " M . a has just arrirvd from Chiswick— " MR. FOX IS DEAD." That cln we find ourselves deprived, in less than one s:lort year, of a Nat.sost, a Purr, and a Fox, the men by whom•the world estimated the wisdom and valour of llngland. Thus Our good stars, that were 03r former guide, have empty lea their [sibs, and shot their fires." It is a singular citcumitance, that, at the very tnonwiit this great spirit fled this world, the Palk • ald 'Cover guns were announcing the capture of limos Ayres.—Like Ntt.sner, too, we shall not le swim's-AI if it shall appear that he died 1, the very moment of the completion of 0-. e great t k which he had undertaken—the work of peace ; • o w opinion, in some well-informed circles, that • APARTt has gone too far to recede. We own, however, that the rising spirit of the Continent, and the magnanimous condua of the Emperor of Rue t, in tetusiog to ratify D'Ousaik's Treaty, have kready diminished the value of peace. But these L.ingt canted not have been foreseen by human eyes, and do not alreel Mr. Fox's in.trits. As we never ju.tly appreciate a good, until sse are deprived of it, it was our intention to ava urselves, titre day, of the interest excited in the first moments Lf our loss, to give a Ciograplikal Sketch of this reg Patriot, Orator, and Statesman; but the piessere of temporary matter obliges us to de fer it to another day. Mr. Fox was in the 7th year of his age, and of a frame and enastitutinn that promised many more. Like Ur. Purr, his mind was too great for that which forms the peat objea of the mass of society. ' He has left very little piopertY, and, we understand, made no will. He remained perfeftly sensible and collated to the last moment, and displayed through out his illness an unshaken fortitude, though con sciout, from the moment of his departure from town, that his recovery was impossible. Lord Hui. t. AND, Mr. THOMAS GRENVILLE, and Viscount Ilovslco, have been severally mentioned, as the persons most likely to succeed him as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. In the representation of the city of West minster he will be prob ably succeeded by Mr. Su tat o AN, his long tried and intimate friend. The Electors of Westminster have now an opportunity of shewing their respect and love for Mr. Fox. It was, we understand, his dying request, that Mr. SHERIDAN should attempt to succeed him in the representation of the city of Westminster. The tlamburgh Mail, dui on Wednesday, arrived yesterday, with letters and papers to the 6th inst.— They state, that King JOSEPH was preparing to fly from Ntples when Gaeta surrendered ; that the King of SWEDEN has taken possession of the Duchy of Lauenburg, in the name of the King of England ; that the French are not yet in possession of Cattaro ; that Prussia and Russia are making great military preparations ; and that Bon • PARTIL has called upon the Confederation of the Rhine, to furnish its con- tingent of troops. .1 Gentenburgh mail has also arrived, with letters and papers, stating, that the Russian army has bees lately augmented, and that 500,000 men are ready to march at a moment's notice. A Russian Mes senger, charged with dispatches, said to be of great importan'e, tor this Court, arrived from St. Peters. burg, a- Gottenburgh, on the 4th instant. 1-le Teacf - ed London yesterday.

MlllitY-L A NZ. This theatre opened on Saturday night, under the happiest auspices. 'I he heeee was elegantly filled in every pzrt. The pity was The Honey Moon ; the am:talon of which was increased by the novelty of a first appearance. it was that of Mr. PeeLer, in the charaeler cf torquer. This gentleman was pre ceded by a high chataaer for comic humour, having played with eclat at the Liverpool and Lewes The atres, of the latter of which his brother is Proprie tor. The late Mr. Co eel ss was thii original jeueseer, and his representation was considered a petted per formance : it was therefore a bold undertaking to attempt a part, in which, in public opinion, first-rate talents could only equal, not excel, his predecessor —besides, every tone and gesture of Mr. COLLINS was fresh in their recolleetion. Mr. PEN Lev fully jtestifitd the truth of provincial report, and, triumphing over all these disadvantages, completely won the approbation of the audience. He is rather undersize, but well made, with a very lively eye, and a good deal of ease. His conception of the part was precisely the same as that of Mr. Cot t ins ; but we must acquit him of imitation, because he Lever could have seen him in it. Indeed, it is s 3 distilealy drawn, no air of judgment could mistake it. The execution, however, was different; and not to the disadvantage of Mr. PLN LEY, whose voice is much more clear, strong, and distina. Mr. P N LEY is well acquainted with the business of the stage, and appeared in full possession of his powers. He was warmly greeted upon his entrance, and received the most unqualified applause. he Managers are intitled to much praise for the expe dition with which they have supplied a place so dif ficult to fU. Mr. MATH t.W6 having to perform Endless in the farce of lee !tees no Supper, which re quired a good deal of time to dress, his part of the Dotter in the play was performed by Mr. Wass. The cast in every other resrea wes t'ee same :is last season. Miss Duncan, Miss Mee Len, and Mr. FeeliSTON, were warmly greeted upon their tespec. the entrances. They appeared much improved in health and spirits by their summer tout. P A RisnT displayed her attitudiparien grace to great advan tage in the ballet of The Fair Ciocouiau ; and Mrs. SHARD& appeased in grace and agility not inferior to the first artists of the Italian schorl. he farce of No Song no Somme., which followed, went off in excellent style. Mrs. MocNratr looked extremely well, and perfetly re-established in health. The house looks very neat, several parts of it have been newly gilt and painted ; the part over the curtain is much improved. THE PRINCES TOUR.

Their Royal Highnesses rode from Ross Hall to Loton, to tread the ground of tke Principa lity, which afforded the Prince peculiar delight ; and from the first Oak Tree his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales broke off a small hough, which he immediately placed in his hat, and rode with it back to Lnton. The Royal Party soon after proceeded to Lotnn Park, the seat of Sir Robert Leighton, Bart. where they spent the evening, and rn hursday morning, at half past ten o'clock, their Royal highnesses passed through Shrewsbury, on their way to f centham, the seat of the Marquis of Stafford. •MRIVIIMENS•CtIfe The Duke and Duchess of YORK had a geldl party so dine with them yesterday, at Oatlands.
