Buffoons, of the House of Boat.t, Fasmcn, 40J Co. set off for Dublin. We had long suspened, from the slight notice taken in the Paris Papers of the progress of the French arms in the kingdom of Naples, that they had met an unezpe&ed resistance. The Hamburgh doe on Sun Jay, arrived yesterday, with In ten and Papers, to the Bt.") instant, which confirm our suspicions. The report of the surrender of Gaeta, and of the submission of the Calahrians, is contradiaed in letters front Rome of the 17th last. The French army was then advancing into Ca lalsia, in three columns ; the centre is commanded by Marshal filassarsa, the left by General Lances, and the right by General it eGNIVII. On the 6th, rie Calabrians had a smart allion with the later, at Lagn Nero, en account of which is given in an offi!ial Bulletin, published at the lead-Quarters of the French Arusy at Naples, a:s the 61, In this Bulletin, the Calabrians are described not as a tumultuary force, but a re gular nrganised and well appointed army. At two o'clock, on the afternoon of the 6th, the French divisinn onler General Reunite, arrived on the banks of the Silo, the passage of which was dis puted by the Caheirians, with a numerous infantry. The French, however, having succeeded in forcing t le passage, the Calais:4ns fell back upon Lego Nero, where they had made preparations for a vi ?onus resistance. Here a battle ensued, the result of which is represented .0 favourable to the French, who are said to have made a great number of pri soners, including several superior Officers. The rrilitary chests and magazines of the Calabrians are also stated to have faller 6..0 the hands of the ene my- A`ter reading this account, we almost re gret that the English and Russian troops hay e ow evacuated the kingdom of Naples. What might not the brave Calabrians have effeaed with such Jssistance ? But this loyal, generous, and patriotic spirit s nor confined to the Cslabrians. All Naples appears to be in a state of insurrioltion against the iSossier. The Noplys Qaseite says, that tt not withltandius the arrest and remoral of several list sbari ql the public tranquillity, and the ili r alimitalldfltallitiOlS of Prince JOIMPH, the fool ish maitsurp of arming is still resorted to." Mar shal Rosati*, the mild and humane Masstma, has received orders to establish as many Military Com missiou as he shall think proper, one of which had ilt sin with a mossahle 'alums of 1,400, to disarm thfa illhaMtoats of looses, Resins, and Porticello. Tips, who art acquainted with the French phrises lisgy, will readily understand what is meant by these detentions and removals, these military commis sions from which there is no appeal, and whose sentences must be executed within twenty-four hours ur.dr.r the auspices of the merciful Masse's*. The fin.sians, it appears, have not only obtained possession of the fortress commanding the mouths of the Catarro, but they were Ale spreading them. selves over Dalmatia, and had taken several places, among which are Castel-Nnovo, and its Port, which secure their po>ition at Corfou. The Montenegrins have joined the Russians. Fifteen Couriers lately passed through Ulm in one day. This may afford some idea of the aaivity of the diplomatic correspondence; and, consequent ly, unsettled state of the Continent at the present moment. The question between Austria and France, appears to relate principally to the pos session, lately obtained, of the Bocca di Calabra, by the Russian troops. The Court of Vienna, in its answer to the French remonstrance upon this sub jett, states, in its justification, for the admission of the Russians into the place, that, after the signing of the treaty of Presburg, the Commander of the Rus sian squadron was not furnished soon enough with the necessary counter-orders. The Austrian Minister has also delivered to the Russian Ambassador, a cir cumstantial Note, requiring that the Russian troops shall be immediately withdrawn from that post. The following is an eatra& front a letter, dated Altona, Bth of April, received at LLOYD': by the Elarnbtirgh Mail, which arrived yesterday : I haws authority to state. that wo application has been made to our Government about shutting our Purls against gfitish weasels, so that British ships intended for Harobtorgh and this place, may safe', go to Tonningra, tner , rom you will ship, by the eery fion vessel, say goals I I Tamaqua."

The nsigleader was taken into custody; but the mob, counting chiefly of boys aid idle persons, attracted by curiosity, were permitted to re turn peaceably to their homes." We will not be surprised to see this occarrence exaggerated into a formidable riot, and attributed to a political spirit. THEATRES. - KING'S THEATAK. We are haiiiik to hare to notice the revival of the Comic Opera. which had so long been discon tinued, at this Theatre. Tke serious Opera cannot be always pleasing, except tvassionate Amateurs, and is by no means suited en our national taste. Le Due NO:ZS e en Sol Merits, a produaion new to this county, abounding in excellent music, by GAMMAS!, was last night represented here for the purpose of introducing Signor Na LDI to the attention of the British public. lie comes, we understand, immediately frum Lisbon. He has acquired a high reputation on the Continent— and it is not likely here to suffer any abatement. His debut was attended with the most brilliant success; and he will cettainly be popular.— Signor NAL DI'S voice is a powerful tenor, of unu sual clearness and compass ; and it is evident he is a tasteful and well-studied musician. An easy and rapid modulation, prec:sion, and delicacy of finish. such a: in this country has scarcely been equalled, are the chioaderistics of his style. He was perfedly at his ease, every note was effeetive ; as an actor he deserves equal praise: —his performance is neat, mellow, and, in all respells, in the first style of operatic humour. His first song, and a comic duet in the second ad, were rapturouly enreeed. Our old favourites MOREI.LI, and STORAGE, were restored to their posts on this occasion, and received with their accustomed approbation.—Signora GPI to- Litrri appeared for the second time on these boards, and in the song allotted to her, displayed so much taste and sweetness, as to obtain a general encore. She is really a very promising singer. The Opera afforded the highest satishidicn to a crowded audience: but it is much too long, a fAtOt fur which no beauties can atone. In the brilliant circle were-- Duelbesies—NorthumLerland, Onrelln, net Bolton. Matehionesses.—lleadfort, D4Washue, Salisbury, and Donegal. Countnses— - Lads Perth. Clare, D. , rby, and Curk. Hor;. A!w Drummond. Mn.HAY-NA MIST. M HAMILTON, a very fair eftlittenie for public favour, came forward on Monday night for her owls Benefit; in the very interesting part of Truro, in the Tragedy of Percy. This Lady is rather above the middle size, and of a fine person ; her face is handsome and expressive; her affirm graceful and dignified. and her voice possesses great vanety. In the interview with. Per,v, she strongly excited the sympathy of she audience. In the last scene also, she displayed great judgment and feeling, and we should consider this lady an acquisition to any Company. After the Play, she spoke, with much feeling. an Address, expressing her thanks for the distinguished patronage which she had received. In the farce of Corrlsiniat era Preerrehas, Mrs. HA. sorszou displayed the versatility of her talents, in the part of Cat-rine, and received much applaise from an elegant and cr,wded audience.

The Anniversary of this most laudable Society, was yesterday celebrated at the London Tavern.
