COCH -lAut, and that the two Colonels of Marines that will be vacant, are to be filled up by Captains MARK.. HAM and Louts. There will also be a number of Commanders made Post-Captains, and Lieutenants promoted to the rank of Commanders. Sir THOMAS TR I OWBRIDGE is to be appointed a Commodore, to succeed Admiral RAINIER in the East Indies. Goveinor CREYKE, of the Royal Hospital at Plymouth, takes his Flag, and Captain 0 1 131turt DRURY is mentioned as his successor. Captain JAMES WALLACE, late of the Achille, is appointed to command the Fisgardy of 48 guns ; and Captain BRAnitY, pro tempore to the Ajax. Tuesday last a Court Martial was -- held'on•board His Majesty's Frigate Jamaica, lying in Sheerness Harbour, and held by adjournment Again on Thurs day morning, to try Lieutenant" GILCHRIST, of His Isergesty's Sloop Diligence, on Charges exhibit ed against him by Capt. JONES, of the said Sloop, for neglect of duty and contempt to his Commander. After long and mature deliberation, the Court ad judged Lieut. GILCHRIST to be dismissed His Ma jesty's Sloop Diligence, and rendered incapable of promotion in His Majesty's Navy, or of being em ployed in aaual service . at sea. Two vidualling transports, and eight or ten fishing vessels, were driven on shore in Torbay, on Thursday, by the high wind.—The brig Flirt, from Lisbon for. Bristol, with oranges, which was stranded during the night of Wednesday, went to pieces on the morning following : the crew were saved, but the cargo lost. Saturday we announced the arrival of the Cum herlandPacket, with Mails from the Leward Islands, after a passage of thirty-five days, from Tortola. One of the passengers, Lieut. A. I. MACAUL EY, of the 68th Regiment, having however died on the voy agehome, (on the Ittli of February) the Mails were detained at Falmouth, for the purpose of being fu migated. Lieutenant ASHWORTH, of the same corps, another passenger, and the crew of the Packet, are healthy. The remains of Lieutenant MAct.ut Erwere committed to the deep, the day after his decease. The Cumberland left, at Martinique, the South ampton, Tamer, Drake, Van Tromp, and Gipsey.— While at Antigua, the Drake arrived there, with dispatches from Admiral DUCKWORTI4, and sailed again the same day. THE OPERA. King's Theatre. THE serious Opera of Mitridate was repeated on Saturday night, and received with unbounded ap plause, by a crowded audience. The music of this Opera is most beautiful, and admirably adapted to the powers of BANTI. Sht gave her Songs with great taste and feeling, and was loudly encored in several of them. The new Divertisement was changed for Amin tas et Syl'vie, we suppose, on account of the absence of GIRAUD. The Ballet of /ma followed, and was received with great applause. The beauty of the scenery, however, was totally obscured by the obtrusion of strangers on the stage it is astonish ing that Gentlemen will thus expose themselves to public ridicule ; would they resolve to desist from a pra&ice so very absurd, so little gratifying to themselves, and so unfair to the Public, we are con fident the low-bred and vulgar frequenters of the Theatres (who form the much greater part of this nuisance) would not, alone, dare thus shamelessly to insult a whole audience. THE THEATRES. Drury-Lane, THE Comedy of The Double Dealer was revived at this Theatre on Saturday with such omissions as render it less exceptionable to the improved delicacy of modern taste. But though the dialogue may be pruned of much of its luxuriance, the fable it self involves so many incidents of a prurient dt scription, as to bid defiance to the labours of critical morality: The Play was in general well aBed. KEMBLE gave an excellent portrait of insidious, hypocrisy in Maskrwell, though the languor arising from his re cent illness was but too apparem, The veteran KING was very successful in representing the uxori ous pusillanimity of. Sir Paul Pl_yant, We have seen Mrs. POWELL more' successful than in her Lady Touthrwood, SurrT's Lod Froth was a very correct exhibition of formal insignificance. BAN. NISTER hit off the humour of Brisk with great spirit. Co KEMBLE was rather too languid in Millefon:, a chars ter that might be rondered very conspicuous. Miss DE CAMP displayed great comic spirit in Lady Plyant i but it was spirit misplaced. She displayed more of the pertness of Miss Sterling than the affeeted vanity of a gallant woman of fashion. PACKER is a very good Performer in his proper cast, but is rather " too much declined into the vale of years" for Lord Torichrwood. Pow E 1.1. or RA:lrmo:co should have had the part. Nothing could be more charaaeristically animated than Miss POPE in Lady Froth, Careless and Cynthia were tolerably well supported by BARRYMORE and Mrs. YotYNo, late Miss Blocs. As the Comedy was altogether so well exhibited, it is to be regretted that licentiousness seems to he inseparably inter woven with its Dramatic texture. Covent Garden, Love in a Village drew n very numetous au dience on Saturday, to this Theatre,—Mrs. BIL- L INCTON sung with her usual skill, and obtained the warmest applause: INC LEDON being too mach indisposed to perform Young Itleadonlis, the part was assigned to HILL, who gave the Airs with much ability, and acquitted himself very well in the acting, COOKE'S excellence in Falstaff affords a striking proof of the erroneous estimate which Alors in ge neral form, of their own powers. Before he ap peared in this part he considered himself as unfit for a due representation of it, and undertook it chiefly to benefit by the attralion of novelty. it proves, however, one of his very best performances, and it may be fairly questioned, whether there has been any representation of the part, near it in merit, since the memorable performance of Qv Me PARIS, FEB. 24. By a letter from fiourdeaux, dated Feb. 18th, we have the following, intelligence An American Ship arrived here from New York, after a passage of twenty days. Her Commander, Capt. WOOD, was at Cape Francois in the latter end of Decem ber. He reports that tranquillity was perfeftly re-established in the Colony of ,Y t. Domingo, and that ToussAist-r, being informed of the sailing of our Fleet, had ordered barracks to be prepared to receive the French Troops on their arrival. SEMLIN, FEB. 3.----KONIALLY-MEHEMED-AGA a Turk of distinEtion, and a friend of the unfortu nate Pacha of Belgrade, has taken refuge here, with his - treasures. He informs us that the utmost con sternation prevails in that fortress. The Turkish inhabitants think they already. see an Ottoman Army at their gates, ready to put them all to ..the sword if they submit. We are forbid to have any intercourse with them; and only the Imperial Drago. man goes at times, in consequence of his office, to Belgrade. But the son of the Pacha corresponds with the Commander' of our frontier, who has as. sured him of his sorrow for his father, and his good wishes for his own prosperity. It is said that this young man is on his march to Belgrade ;' but he will undertake nothing till the arrival of IsMAEL BET. It is said, that at this moment a Party of Janissaries is going out to attack him. It is re. ported they amount to eighty Companies. RATISBON, FEB. 12. —An important change has taken place relative to the Indemnities. The. Court of Vienna, without waiting for the concur rence of the Court of Berlin, has determined to em ploy its influence to assemble the Deputation of the Empire, in order to arrange that affair definitively. Baron HuCEL's intended journey to Berlin has been countermanded; it is said he is to aft as Im perial Commissary at the Deputation of the Em. pire, arid will quickly arrive here with the decree, authorizing its convocation. Unless any obstacles be thrown in the way by the Court of Berlin, this Assembly-, which is to decide the fate of , Germany, will meet about the beginning of March. It is, however, known that such Princes as are goided by the Politics of , Prus sia, will send no Ministers to this Convocation ; and it is probable that its speedy assembly is only announced, in order to shew that the Court of Vi enna wishes W throw no obstacle in the way. HAGUE, FEU. 16. The sum of 32,842,889 florins remains due by our Government to France.— It is to be paid by annual instalments, betwixt this period and the year 1812. Orders have been received here to have an Hotel for the English Minister, who is expeled in the beginning of spring. STRASBOURG, Feß. 18.—The public News as sure us that the First Consul will go to Brussels the ensuing spring, to preside at an Assembly com posed of ci-devant Belgium, and the four new De partments. ROUEN, FEB. 2l.—.Citizen SAINT HILAIR.E, General of the Fifteenth Division, who had gone to command at Amiens during the Congress, is to return to this city in five days: It is therefore very natural to conclude that the Definitive Treaty is either concluded, or about to be so in a very short time. WESPL, FEB. ig.—The Hereditary Prince of ORANGE is arrived at Ortm;enstein on his way from Berlin. It is said he carries with him the plan agreed upon by France and Prussia to indembify his family, which is expeded to be done in the Circle of Franconia. It is also said, that the Data Emigrant Regi ments in the pay of England, will be given up by that Power to the Prince of OkANGE as soon as the affairs of the Germanic Empire are arranged. FEBRUAItY 25. General LASSES passed through Bayonne on the t3th instant, on his journey to Portugal, whither he is going as Ambassador froni the French Republic. We learn from the Hague ; that Ambassadors from England and Russia are expeeted there at the commencement of the spring s and that orders have been received there to provide Hotels for them. VIENNA, FEu, t I.—Her Majesty the QUEEN of NAPLES intends to return to Palermo next May, and the EMPRESS will accompany her, if circumstances will permit. MILAN, FEB. I.—Our Republic is at length constituted. The Committee of Government yes terday ceased its funstions. ME zt, our Vice-Pre sident, proceeded in the morning, amidst the unani mous acclamations of an immense crowd, to the Grand Hall of the National Palace, whither he was accompanied by the Civil and Military Authori ties, as well as the Corps Diplomatique. Orations were pronounced by General Mu R AT, who was charged with the installation by the French Go vernment, by Professor FONTA.NA, in the name of the Legislative Consulta, and by SOMMAR IVA, a Member of the Provisory Government ; whilst the Vice-President made an answer to each. MELZ Z received again the applause of the multitude, and in every countenance might be read expressions of happiness hnd of confident hope, which could not be mistaken. HAGUE, FEa. z6.—lt is not true that the Bata. vian Government has ordered any measure of pre caution relatiVe to American Vessels arriving in our Ports, under the pretext of the yellow fever being prevalent in that 'Country. They write from Amsterdam, that fifty out of each Company of Grenadiers appertaining to Armed Citizens, arc ordered to be always in readiness to put themselves under arms at the first signal. Va.. rious motives are assigned for this measure. The intermediate Administration of the Town has received, an extraft of the Register of the Arettes of Government, dated the 27th January, by which it is deelared that the aid of the Military may always be. called in to repress tumults, and that every Military Officer who shall be called upon for that purpose, shall imenediately obey the requisition. BRUSSELS, En. 26.—We are assured, that in a private transadion between Prfruce and Prwia, the latter Power stipulated that the PRINCE of ORAN'GE should cede to France all the Estates which belonged to him in the ei-devant Belgium, and should receive in return an Indemnity on the Right Bank of the Rhine, independent of that which is due to him for the loss of his dignities.

A French paper says, that the circumstance of 4001. sterling being given for a farthing, is a thing that could happen no where but in England! Sc ;eral Farmers had their pockets picked on Wed. nesday, at Frome Fair; one of a pocket-book, con taining bank notes to the amount of 1301. A Farmer, supposed to be worth zoool. was last week committed to Wilton gaol, for sheep stealing ; on searching his house several valuable articles be longing to persons in the neighbourhood of Langport were found there. Last Friday morning a labourer of 'the name of Law, and another person of the same avocation, were apprehended at Hampstead, on a charge of robbing the pleasure grounds belonging to Lord CARR ING. TON'S country- seat in Hertfordshire of a large quan_ tity of leaden images. The weight was upwards of 16 cwt. which was intended to have been melred,:ky the plan of the thieves, but which was fortunaie_ ly prevented from taking place by the men being taken in time. The offence having been coinriitted in Hertfordshire, the Prisoners, with the leaden. deities, were removed to Hertford, for a full inves. tigation of the case. Early on Sunday se'nnight, some villains br9lte into a farm-house of Mr. Shakespeare, at Fil longley, Warwickshire; a servant who lay in the house, alarmed them, and they made off, but he pursued them in his shirt ; and coming up, a severe scuffle ensued, when he killed one and wounded another. As some labourers were at work in a quarry, at Cranston, last week, a heavy bank fe:l in and bu ried one of them ; he was soon dug out, but bad" lost one leg, which was cut off by a stone; the other was so much hurt as to render amputation necessary ; notwithstanding which, he is in a fait way of recovery, -N •
