TUR IN, JAN. 20.—We are jiist now informed, by the Supreme Magistrate of Health at Naples, that a contagious malady has lately broke out in the City of Medina, Sidonia, and other parts of Spain ; that the City of Cadiz itself is not exempted from it. The same Magistrate informs us, that the Imperial Tribunal of Venice has ordered, in consequence of this news, that every vessel coming from • Spain shall undergo a quarantine of fourteen hours ; and that all coming from such parts of the Mediterranean as do not take proper precautions on this head, shall ride a quarantine of seven hours. The same mea sures have been adopted at Naples, in order to pre_ vent the entrance of the contagion there. BERNE, JAN. zB. Head-Quarters, 7th Pluviose, loth Year. THE GENERAL OF DIVISION,MONTRICHARD, COMMANDER OP THE FRENCH TROOPS IN HELVETIA, TO THE mr- NISTER OF WAR. I have the honour to inform you,Citizen Minister, that hav ing been informed that the Inhabitants of several Communes of the Canton of Zurich had assembled in arms, I marched out the Garrison of this place with a piece ofcannon. These Insurgents, who had met under the pretext of the payment of certain Duties, and the nomination of certain Public Func tionaries, dispersed themselves on the approach ofour Troops, and these Communes are restored to order. Though this event is of very small importance, yet I thought it my duty to inform you of it, as malevolent reports have already been circulated that •the Rebels had got possession of the town of Zurich.. Health and Respet, AIONTRI CHARD. LAW REPORT. COURT OF KlNG's BENCH, FEB. 9. Mr. ERSKINI:. moved for a mandamus to be direded to the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c. of the City of London, commanding them to hear the petition of John Taylor, suing to be discharged under the last Insolvent Debtors' Aa. The appli cation for this man's discharge was not made at the Sessions at Guildhall among others, but had been made at the Adjourned Sessions, The Learned Re corder of the City had no doubt that this man was entitled to his discharge ; but it was contended on the part of the creditors, that he was not entitled to it, because he was too late ; that he ought to have applied before, the Sessions were adjourned. The Warden of the Fleet was threatened with a notice, that an action would be brought against him for an escape, if this Defendant was now dis charged ; it was for that reason, and it was at the desire of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, &c. that this motion was made, in order that the matter might be disposed of by the Court. Mr. Justice GROSE said, that a Rule should be granted, but he was not sure that this would take away the right of the Plaintiff to his adion as he had stated, provided the n - Lm was not entitled to be brought up.—Rule to spew Cause granted. The ATTORNEY GENERAL moved for a man damus to be direaed to the Officers of the Cor poration ofßipon, commanding them to proceed to the eleaion of a Mayor of that Borough. There had been an election in dice form. The day for swearing in was the zd of February, but the per .son eleaed had refused to be sworn in. He was aware it might be said, that this was an improper motion, because the party might have an intorma_ tion or indklment filed against him for refusing to take upon him the office, but a similar application had been made, and the mandamus granted for the City of York, 1793, when that Corporation was deprived of the benefit of such an Officer, as was here called upon to assume his office, and had re. fused. This was founded on a case in the z tst of Geo. 11. which was moved by Mr. Serjeint BOOTH E. The precedent for the writ was afterwards prepared by that Learned Serjcant. Mr. Justice GROSE said, that where the eleaion was colourable, there were several cases in which a-motion of this kind was granted ; but, where the party had been really and fiiirly eleeted, and re fused to be sworn in, the case was not so clear, and, for this reason, there was another remedy, information or indittment against the party him self. However, the Court granted a Rule to shew Cause to be drawn up for the next Term. Yesterday the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR held a Court of Aldermen, at Guildhall, at which wer e present seventeen Alden:len, Mr. Common Serjeant, and the Sheriff's. The Principals of the Company of Bakers attend ing, were called in, and the Reports of the Meal weighers being examined, the Court ordered the . Peck Bread t o b e l owere d one Assize, or 2c.. L lie Loaf, to commence to-morrow. The price of the Quartern Loaf will then be 714 d: The Committee for General Purposes laid before the Court their Report relative to the appointment of a Magistrate for the Town and Borough of South_ wark, which, after being read and approved of, was referred back to the said Committee, to consider the best means of extending the Authority of the Aldermen below the Chair over the said Borough' and lay the same before the next Court of Alder- Men. The Court, after ordering several Bills and Sala ries to be paid, broke up at four o'clock. On Sunday se'nnight in the evening, one of the Shields coaches, on its return to Newcastle, near the three_►vile stone, was thrown over, and several of the Passengers, eighteen in all, were severely hurt ; the coach was nearly dashed to pieces. t ILE 013• E Kisrg's Theati. THE Serious Opera of Elfridiz was repeated last night, and received throughout with great applause. BANti gave her Songs in an admirable style, though we perceived some slight remains of her hoarseness. She was encored Pzi)ice, which appeared to distress her very much. This praCtice of calling for a petition of Songs, extremely difficult in the execu tion, is hardly a fair one, and, we hope, will not be persevered in at this Theatre. The Ballet of Irza followed, and was received equally well as on the former night of its perform ance. The only alteration that could improve the beautiful dress of Madame LABORIE, has been made, and we now think it difficult to conceive any thing more graceful and fascinating 'than her repre sentation of the Sultana. The House was full, and the boxes displayed a considerable portion of beauty and fashion. THE THEATRES. Drtrj-Lane. Mrs. BILLINGTON performed Rosetta, in Love in a Village, for the first time at this Theatre, last night, Our Readers need not be told, that she sung the Songs exquisitely. KELLY composed a new Duett on this occasion, which makes no in considerable figure, even in comparison with the admired Music of this popular Opera. The House was a true BILLI NGTON lAN bumper. Covent-Garden. A Comic Opera, under the name of The Cabinet, was represented for the first time last night at this Theatre. CHARACTERS. Curvoso, Lorenzo, Orlando, WhimSiCHlo, - - - - Mr. FAWCETT.

Crudelia, Curiosa, Leonora, Doralice, Biancha, FABLE. The Scene lies in Italy. Orlando,' one of the Princes o f the country, is enamoured with Constantia, the daughter of Curvoso, and had obtained her father's consent ; but being deprived of his territories by neighbouring foes, Curvoso re tracts, and favours the addresses of the Marquis de Grand Chateau, an old disgusting French nobleman.' Orlando, among other magnificent presents, had sent to her a splendid Cabinet, which contains an artificial bird. When Constantia finds that she is doomed to the arms of the old French Mar quis, she listens to the counsel of her maid Floretta,, who persuades her to conceal herself i n t h e C a bi net, as C urvoso had insisted on her returning all the presents she had received from Orlando. By this means she is safely conveyed from her father's. Orlando, after Floretta has sported with his feelings, finds his mistress in his own house, or rather in that of his step-mother, Doralice. Orlando having recovered the possessions which had been wrested from him, applies to Curvoso for a renewal of his consent to let Constantia be his wife. Curvoso, without any ceremony, discards the old French nobleman, and promises that Orlando shall be his son-M-law. In the mean time Crudelia, an Italian Coun tess, who is attached to Orlando, and who is a woman of a vindictive temper, discovers that Constantia is in the house of moralise, who is her friend. Constantia is seised by bravoes in the s interest of Crudelia, and confined in an apartment over a lake, into which she plunges in despair, :ind is caught by Pedro, who was discarded from the service of Curvoso, and who turns fisherman. He conveys her to the hut of Mancha, the widow of.Dragnetti, an old fisherman. Crudelia, tearing that Con stantia was drowned, becomes sensible of her guilt, and is disposed to atone for it. Constantia implores the shelter ofa neighbouring convent, the Abbess of which is a tool of Urn delis, and who iniorms the latter of Constantia's application. Crudelia, however, nobly penitent, resolves no longer to' op pose the happiness of the lovers. Curvoso, his son, Lo renzo, Orlando, &c. &c. all go to the Island in order to con_ duet Constantia home, and prepare her nuptials w:th Or lando. Constantia at first disguises herself as an old dumb Sorceress, but is soon discovered, and the Piece of course concludes with general .happiness. There is another love—engagement between Lorenzo and the sister of Orlando, as vs:11 as a subordinate one between Whirnsiculo, Orlando's Valet, and Floretta, Constantia's Maid. Such is the Fable of this new Opera, which, if we were to judge by the general sentiment of the audience, is one of the best compositions of the kind that has been seen for a long time, as there was much applause throughout the representation, and no tokens of dissent, except to the repetition of some of the airs. We cannot, however, com pliment the Author on much originality in plot, in cident or charaeter. The expedient of the Cabiuet, which is one of the essential principles of the Opera, has been employed in several other pieces, and nearly for the same purpose. There are some liberal, mural, and patriotic sentiments, and some sallies of humour, hut nothing very striking or pointed. There is, however, nothing extravagant or absurd, and as pieces of this kind are merely intended, to use the hackneyed phrase, " as vehicles for music," it is at least as well calculated for that purpose as most things of the kind. The music, except two or three well-known airs in the overture,, which derived no advantage from being played in a slower time, is original ; and the Composers are BR AHAM, NIOOR EH E AD, DAVY, Cox RI, and •RE E V ES, BR All AM sung delightfully, but he was lather too chromatic for the Galleries, which were illiberally outrageous when he was encored. Indeed it seemed evident that BRANAM had enemies in the Theatre. MoottEHEAD and REEVES seemed to be the favourite Composers of the night. STO RACE exerted her comic humour very success fully it) support of the piece, which- was also power fully supported by MUND rN, FAwc E r , Mrs. H. JoirNsTog, EMERY, .and Mrs. I\LlTocits. IN- C E DON distinguished axis vocal powers with his usual effe6t, and in a duet with BatotAm, appeared to advantage even by .the side of so great a per- Ormer. We hardly ever heard so-many Songs repeated in any new piece. The Opera is the produ&ion of Mr. T. Dr BDI N, Who has furnished this Theatre with several pieces that have been well received by the Public. The Piece requires great retrenchment, as it ex tends almost in hour in dumrion beyond the time usually allotted to such representations. _ . Yhe Muse w . crowded; the Piece, as was very much applauded throughotit i announced for this evening with loud and 'hearty The following ate given as a 'specimen the Sings SONG.—P.urra. (11TOortEnrAb.) Says the table so pat, once a man hada cat, Of beauty and Manners uncommon .; With wonderful taste she could swallow a rat, Wash :her face with a grace, ogle, pur and all that, Till her master, who did'nt know what to be at. Pray 'd Venus to make her a woman. Thus . a strange nmamorphosislove brought about-, Her cars they sunk in, and her•nose it came out. While her whiskers and tail, Found their offices fail And her eyes bright and green as gooseberries, . Turn'd black as two sloes, Claws to fingers and toes, And her lips to a couple of-cherries. Puss married her master, but short his 'delight,. Repentance in wedlock is common : She slept all the day, kept awake - all the night, He thought she could swear, and he knew shesoUld. tight, ' And woe to a mouse, if it came in ber sight. Which proves a cat -can't be a woman. Hubby's prayers, now, a second exchange brought about, Her nose it tell in, and her e:: . rs they grew out, While her whiskers and ta►l No longer did tail, Her lips no more pouted like cherries. She, had claws to her toes, And her eyes from black sloes, Turn'd to two pretty little gooseberries. (13rtivnitm) When absent from her, whom my soul hold's most deir. What medley of passions invade !

The present establishment for the conveyance. of Overland Dispatches to and :,•orn India, is said to cost the sum of to,oool. annually. It is said a plan is in contemplation whereby the greater part of the above expence will be saved, and the charge converted into a source of Revenue. At the Chichester heart-market, on Wednesday, there was a considerable supply of French hogs, which, on account of their lank appearance, found but a dull sale. These hogs were considerably in jured by being at sea in the late high gales of u.ind. They very much resemble the Irish breed, but are certainly inferior to those bred in England. The price of fat bullocks at the above market, was rather higher than on the market-day preceding. On Thursday was married at York, by the Rev. ROBERT STEPHEN THOMPSON, E. 'l'.
