In consequence of this melancholfaceident there Was no performance on that night at the Theatre.. Mr. TAYLOR Of Covent-Garden Theatre, who yeas the leading Performer at the late Fete at Frog_intne, has been appointed to a situation In His Ma iesty's House hall. According to some private Letters from Paris, the ri Verer NAP.O 1.20$ and the Empress josarmiNo were privately married by the Port.

THIS veteran Professor of the Dancing Art ex. pitted on Saturday last, at his inuse in Hanover. square, He carne to this . - country early in life., atter having obtained considerable distinction as a dancer at Paris.- He was a native of Italy:: He. appeared with considerable success on the o,reia Stage in . this Country, arid soon acquired very hig4 repute as. a Teacher of his art, He published a Book, in which he gave a History of Dancing from its origin, and as it is practised in various parts of the world. Not long after his arrival in this Country he married Lady ELIZABETH Barns, the sister of the Earl of As ING"DON j but he and his Lady had lived separate some years on account of the state of her health. -She died' a few months ago. Sir JOHN' obtained his title from the .fops, but Lord KENYON, when it was introduced upon a trial, ,would not recognize it, and treated the ast,umption with indignation and contempt. Sir JOHN; how. ever, coniinued,to retain it in spite of the Lord Chief Justice, He many years ago purchased the Opera House, and derivedconsiiietable advantages from it; but after it was burned to the ground, disposed of his Patent, and confined himself wholly, to his business; which he pradisa with incessant vigilance to the close of his life. When the Revolutionary. Usurpers of France dis. posed of the Estates of the Emigrant Nobility and Gentry,' under .the title of National Doniains, Sir JOHN was tempted to purchase an estate near Hots. logne, which altogether cost him near 30,0001. but of which, by the artifices of the French Lawyers, and the connivance of the Usurpers, he never was able to obtain secure possession, and at length aban. .doned all hope of the estate and of his money. This loss had much less effect upon him than could be ex. petted, considering that he was a rigid economist, and seemed to be as conversant with the science of frugality as any of its most celebrated Professors. Sir JOHN has generally been considered as one of the most able 'f Caches:l of his art that ever appear ed in this Country, and is supposed, by the exer. tion of his talents 'in this reaped, to have left a considerable fortune to his family, which consists of one Son and two Daughters. Be was a very 'shrewd, intelligent man, and was very welt ac. quainted with the world. If he was not generous, he,wa.s, however, honourable in his dealings, and if few have occasion to be . grateful for his bounty, there are none whtihave a tight to complain of in. justice. • . 1-fe hacl eaten's ,hearty breakfast on the morning he died. and had only the warning of a slight indispositiOn a few moments before he expired. THE Or c ft A.—The. most numerous audience that has attended the King's Theatre this seison were present on Saturday last at the representation of La l'erzine del Sole. The Opera went off as usual. At the end of the second alt of the Grand Ballet of Achille et Dcidamie, a violent scream of a female voice was heard behind the scenes. It was soon understood that an accident had befallen Madame tADO It lE. After a' considerable pause, the audi ence testified their impatience to know the parti culars of what had happ en ed, so forcibly, that Ks LLY wai;obliged se come upon the stage. He stated, that as Madame 4ABORI I was as usual pralising on the Stage, one of the scenes was unexpeeledly drawn up, and her foot became entangled in it, and she was drawn up with it several feet ; for. tuHately .somebody, with great .preienee of mind, caught hold,of her petticoats as she ascended, and - disengagcti.her, otherwise she would most proba. bly have risen with-the 'machinery, And the ennse. quences might have been fatal. As it was, she was severely : bruised, and.her ancle violently sprained.. KELLY stated, that as her performance was essen. Bally connected. with the second ail of the Ballet, he hoped the usual sensibility of a , British.audience. would excuse any' resumption of the Ballet that night. The aUdie'rce of course acquiesced with their accustomed kindness. It is well.known, that Madame-L,Aaokte was present last season, in the front of the theatre, when her husband met with the accident' Which has disqualified him from pro. fessional exertions on ihe stage; and it is said that he ventured to the Theatre 'for the first time on:Sa. turday last, and was a witness of what held his 'wife, who is a very amiable' woman, as well as an accomplished PerfisrMer. To the credit of the au. diem it should be Mentioned, that 'all sense of plea. stita Was. lost in compassion and liberal sympathy. The Bath Thiaire was Crowded on'Thursday lase a.t the representation of rizarro, as some of the Performers were Amatettri. Mr. P. tvlrittlietr, in particular, acquitted himself very ably, and oh. tained great applause, in the part of kolla. The whole of the Play went off very well. KEKBLE is so much recovered from the Strain in his side, as well as from his cough, that he is likely to be soon restored to his scenic funftions. There arc better accounts also of Mrs. Sitioorts ; and we hare reason to hope that those distinguished orna. menu of the English Stage will be able to gratify the Public much. sooner than was apprehended. The Fit4torical .Drama of Belfry the Eighth has beeo.tevived with great splendour at DUblin. Hot.. ataN has acquired cons id era bl e repute byhis per. farmance of Hentys • Little BETrir' is still very, much indisposed, and .there is no great likelihood that he will be able to play • for a long time, unless a greatei charigt should take place than his medical ftiendi expeti: BArtori, the OnkktCli of the Ftench Stage, W4l also the Infant Roscius of his age. When a child, his relations, wishing to get rid of / hiM, articled him for five years to a woman who had a company of ehildren perforthersi When he evinced ottraor. dinary talents, and attraeted vast multitudes - to the Theatre: - MoLiette, among others, went; and was so delighted and astonished at the performance of the boy, who was not then twelve years of age,, that he obtained an order from the KING for planting him into his own coMpany. He was, how ever, allowed to play eight nights for the benefit of his former mistress, and the receipts ware such as to place her in a state of :independence during Me rest of her life. The number of baptisms, marriages, and burials, were, in Doncaster, last year, as follow baptisms 1 - 89, marriages 54., burials los. C AY ENN E. [FROM A LATE NEW TORE PAPER,] " LETTEItd.fIOM. Peyetille. - State * that this Co. 4npy enjoys the greatest tranquillity, and 'no fear is entertained of any attack from the English. A gang' of runaway NeerOrs had committed several exces:ies nn the distirt Plantations, but bad hem surrounded in a wood by the Colonial Troops,: as.. sisted by those of the line,' • tod -two . of their Chiefs were taken. Many of these Negroes had continued in the Woods ever since the' anarchy'of 1793. . - " A Privateer from Rochelle, which had . cap. tured and carried into Cayenne an English ship laden with Negroes, had disposed of them there to the greatest advantage. Some of them brought 24.50 francs, and none Jess than 2088 francs. 66 Four ships, with 6+6 Convids, had arrived from France. Of these zat were wound. They are to be disttibuted in different .Distrias of the Colony ; bin; to prevent • those disagreeable scenes whiCh took place on the passage, the distance be. tween the Royalist and Jacobin Fanatics is to be as great as posiible.

" All these persons are sent thither oily "ir Men. surer of safety by the Police, and not after anycon demnation by the Tribunal. The duration of their transportation is unlimited, and they. will pro, bably cgritinue at Cayenne for life. They are all very poor, and in an extremely wretched condi tion, which, with the unhealthiness of the climate, will, no doubt, shorten their punishment and their . lives, Ninety of them were already, in-the Public Hospitals, and 25 bad, died within seven days after. their landing.'.' • Several important improvements have recently been made in Fire.arms, particularly in locks, which give to them a quicker anion, more decision, per_ feet security against damp, itc. and anglifying them to such a degree, that by the removal ot" the centre pin, which forms the axle through the bridle and tumbler, the whole may be taken to pieces and replaced in a few seconds., A new nipper, to cut the cartridge fur priming, is attached by a j 'int to the lock or , gun.

Revolution, and lat. ttrly Master of the Ceremonies to BONAPArttt, was lately killed in a duel by Gen. CAULINcorri.: The dispute from which this affair resulted took place in consequence of M. Dr Srouit, _lan. ex. pressing his dete,tatinn of the atrvcious seizure of the Duc D'ENCIIIEW, in which CAULINCOURT was a principal. agent. At the first fire M. 1)a slqtrii was. shot through the head.
