L 0 N D 0 117, TUESDAY, FEERUARY :•5, 1 q 12. We 'yesterday slopped the Press to announce that intelligence had been received by the daeon sloop of war, of a mutiny haviiag broken out at St. Helena, among the trOops. The mutineers stiCceede,,d in getting the Lieut. Governor into their possession; but by the prompt, and •vigoroLs exertions of the Governor, he was rescued, and order completely Seven of the most aCtive of the iituti beers were executed, and about 40 'of them haire been sent home. restored. It is said that this disturbance arose from a tem porary reduction which it was found neces sary to make in their rations of rum and provisions. We this morning received Jamaica Papers to the 12th ult. but they bring no news. Admiral STIR LING arrived at Jamaica in the drethusa frigate, in the begining of Jaryiary. We yesterday had the satisfaCtion-of announcing to our Readers the receipt of intelligence from Si cily of a very satisfaCtory nature. A change has taken place in the Government of that island which we have no doubt will contribute equally to its in ternal tranquility and its external safety. The KING and QUEEN have resigned the Administration of the Sovereign power to the Hereditary Prince, who now tets under the title of Vicar-General. The exiled Barons have been recalled. The British Minister, Lord BENTINCK, has been appointed Captain General, with a seat in the Council, General IVIAc- FARLANE is appointed second in command, and-a body of British troops have been admitted into Pa lermo. These changes, and the abolition of an un popular tax of one per cent. has diffused universal joy throughout the island. The accounts from the northern parts of Spain are of a very satisfac►ory nature. The French are retreating almo,t in every dipeaion. It appears as if it were the object of BONNET to effete a junction with MARMONT, but his troops have suffered so much, that they will not add much effedive strength to the main Army.—There is a report that the French have evacuated Leon and Astorga, but it rests upon slight authority. Yesterday Mr. BANKS, upon the report of the Committee-of Supply, renewed his motion respea ing the office of Paymaster of Widows' Pensions, which has been bestowed upon Colonel MrNlAtrorr. A debate of some length ensued, and upon a divi sion, Mr. 11ANKS'S motion was carried by a majority of three : the numbers being, for the motion 115, g a ainst it 112. Yesterday the Duke of CAMBRIDGE completed his 37th year, which was celebrated at Windsor - by his Royal Highness,. and the Dille of YORK, en,i other branches of the Royal Family, dining wi►h the QUEEN. Thc; Duke's tradesmen dined together at the Tons Tavern, Windsor, to • cele brate the day. Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL had an audience 01 the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton House. Yesterday, at noon, Admiral Lord KEITH bad a I:}ng audience of the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton NESS TYLNEY LONG'S bridal dress of the most Bpleadßldescipt too ; her gown alone will cost 6000 guin , e:s ; the necklace 30,0001.

We a:e extremely sorry to announce _the death ref Admiral Sir CHARLES COTTON, Commander in Chief of the Channel Fleet. Lord KEITH has been rpl)uinted to succeed him. A writer in a respectable Morning Paper, who signs himself "- A Proprietor of the Old and New Drory-lant! Theatre," says ~that. Mr. WHITBREAD, " by his individnal exertion' only, procured a -sub scriptiou of .50,0001." for the theatre now building. Without enteling i n t o th e controversy between the fri-nd. of !he Drury-lane Theatre, or the advocates (or a third, we may say that while the writer alluded to has paid a compliment to Mr. WHITBREAD on his personql influence, he has made an unwary acknowledgement ; for If so large - a sum was procured by the exertions of that gentleman only, it is no' proof that the new Theat re h o ld s f ort h i n itself any strong recommendation. Anaffair of honour took place in Buckingham shire, a few days ago, between Mr. W--, a Gen tleman of very respettable connexions, and a Lieu tenant F-, of the Army. Mr. W. received a eh ,, t in the kit arm, and Lieut. F. wounded in the leg. Both are,, however,' in a fair way of re covery. Mr. Mans, a Gentleman in the Harnburgh trade, last night burst a blood vessel, whit sitting in a box at Coveut-Garden Tileatre, and die, in five minutes.

ROYAL ACADEMY.-.-.-Mr.FLAXMAN last night gave -his second Lecture on ScuLetruttc.-He observed; that this art may be traced back to the earliest pe riods, as is evident in 'rue BIBLE, where, in the Book of Exoaus, it is stated, that it was not'only eniployed for purposes of 'ldolatry, but, by the DIVINE COMMAND, was used in order to give effi cacy and force to objects intended for pure devo tion. Toe Professor then directed his attention to the progress of Sculpture in Egypt, and offered many striking arguments, and illustrations, to prove that it was in that country always connected with religious purposes, according to the prevailing my thology. Mr. FLAKMAN occasionally advetted to the improvements which the art bad derived from Greece, but recurred to the Egyptian style of Sculpture, and evinced great historical research, as well as deep reflection and probable inference. It should be observed, to the honour of Mr. FLAX MAN,- that a spirit of religious fervour, devoid of all fanaticism, breathes through his discourses, and while he descanti on the beauties of Art, he ne ver loses sight of the great Author of Nature. The room was crowded with Students and Amateurs -- A large portion of the Academic Body were present, and; in the absence of the President, Mr. TURNER took thc.i . Chair, to which his professional merits, theoretical and practical, gave him lull pretensions. - Mr. GRAHAM, the Magistrate, has‘made 3N ab stratt from all the statutes relating to the Theatres, froth the time of ELIZABETH, and through the fol lowing reigns, down to those passed in that of GEORGE the Second, on the power assumed by the Lord High Chamberlains, of granting licenses for erecting or opening new Theatres within the City and Liberty of Westminster. Mr. GRAnasi has elucidated the subjecl by ingenious remarks and solid reasoning, tending to prove that such power has been at times assumed without authority, and can afford no protection against the penalties of un repealed Acts of Parliament. He has printed this work for private circulation. But though the argu ments of this Gentleman, who has had a long experience in theatrical tua:ters, are, of course, en titled to particular attention, and have an evident reference to the new Theatre opened, or intended to be opened, at the Pantheon, yet we consider that Theatre in a political light, and view it with con cern, if not alarm, as a nest for Foreigners, at a time when the Empire is overrun with ALIENS of various descriptions and of suspicious character, and when too we have already an establishment of the same kind, which is Sufficient for all the higher orders who may have too retitled a taste for the legitimate and rational amusements of their own country,' The 21st Dragoons, which have been - at the Cape for some time, are to proceed to India to re= lieve the 22d:Dragonns.

SP .42‘18il PAPERS, tFItObI THE CoIiUNNA GAZETTES.] Gtios, JAN. 28.- On the 13d, the Freneh eva cuated Gijon, having embarked in ele‘en loggers all the property taken by Bonnet from the vessels de tained at Luanco and other ports, hich had pro ceeded from England and other quarters. Three Colonels, fifteen officers, and 150 French troops, embarked at the same time; and, escorted by two gun-brigs, they sailed on the .morning of the above day for Santander, in two divisions ; and, in the afternoon, the 'last of them was seen off Llanes. It then blew very bard, and increased to a perk& storm during the night, so that though they endea voured to reach the port of St. Vicente de la Bar quera, only one gun-brig tocceeded in entering the harbour ; all the test were lost, with all the people on board, except one lugger with 17 men. Seventy Spani,h mariners, and 123 French soldiers, perished in this shipwreck; only 27 of the latter being saved with the gun-brig. Some partisans of the French, who had left Gijon with them, were also lost. CORUNNA, FEE. B.—The last Bulletin of. the hilt Army (that of Gallicia) details the movements made by its divisions on the lines of Orbigo, and the principality of Asturias, in order to attack Bonnet, • before he should be able to leave theprincipali7.— The troops appeared to have undergone great fatigues with that constancy for which soldiers of liberty are distinguished.' The great fall of snow and rain had made the roads almoseimpratticable; and the French would have been attacked in the lines of O r bi go , had not Bonnet arrived on the 28th ult. - with the troops under his command. The French troops sus tained considerable loss in their march by the pass of Pajares.- Our flying coluMn harassed the ene my on the , road to Pajares ; -and one ,company of the chasseurs of Leon alone put to flight the ad vanced guard of the regiment of Growler, taking from them time horses, one mule, and a prisoner. The Comman&r-in-Chief, accompanied by his staff, made a reconnoisance of the fortress of As torga, from which the enemy durst not sally out; on this occas;on the tst regiment of Rivero, and the hussars of Galicia,sheaved th e .gr ea t est coo l ness, within musket shot of the etremy. The attack of the 3d division on B3neza has been suspended till the movements of the allied army are known, • The troops, together with the auxiliaries sent by the Junta, have been regularly Supplied, with _daily rations: 4411 the 30th, head-quarters were at Rignejo. According to a private letter received by a person in this city, Senors Mendizabal, Mina, and Longa, have routed the French in Sanguesa, infliGiing, on hem a loss of MO men. •CAMPOMANES, FEB. 6.—General Los Ala and Se nor Barcena, though placed at distant points from each other, and though the weather has been dread ful, have not ceased to pursue the enemy in his re treat from the Asturias, Several parties of our troops, namely the chasseurs of the Crown, of the Queen, and of the Monterey, came np with the enemy at the pass of Pajares, on'the - 261h of Jan. The chasseurs of .Monterey on that occasion engaged a tunttalion of 1 I 8 men who covered the enemy's retreat, dislodg. ed them, and compelled them to abandon Weir am munition, muskets, and other etfeels, end to resire to Busdongo, about a league from Pajares. On this occasion, the enemy lost six killed, and carried off twenty-five wounded. In their whole, march, it is calculated that they cannot have lost fewer than one thousand men, besides a great deal of property, which has been found buried in the snow. From Pajares to Roola, their men were forced to drag 'the art diary. CASTROPOL, FEB. 7.—The French, in their eva cuation of the Principality, have log many men and horses, which were found at the pass of Pajares, and along the whole high road of Leon, as far as Robla, where General Losada now has his headquarters., On leaving Oviedo, they committed various rob beries, and plundered several houses, setting fire to the Convent of La Vesa. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CADIZ, DATED FEB. 3. " An expedition sailed a few days before the date of the above letter to Caribagena, under the command of Colonel Lambert, of the Guards, being composed of the entire of the 67th, and the Watteville regiment beside's Spaniards. —At the time this expedition sailed; th e troops f rom Ta rifa, with Colonel Skerrett, were arriving. The news of the day at Cadiz is, that 'the French have only 4000 men on the opposite shore, in conse quence of which, it is in •contemplatiop to send 8000 men, to co-operate with Ballasieros in ex pelling they entirely from that quarter. The Garty mede, Capt. Purvis, is expected to take the new Spanish Ambassador to England. 7 By another private letter,' which may. be depend ed on, we receive the intelligence that the day after General O'Donnel had been elected one of the Re gency, he issued ciders for all officers in Cadiz, to join their respeCti ve regiments, or to account for their not doing so by the 29th ult. By this ju dicious proceeding, the Spanish army was supplied with 635 officers, besides their servants, who were not fewer than 2000. This augurs well for the new order of things. A letter of the 7th inst. from Gibraltar, states, that BALLASTERO S had been ent off' from Los Bar rios by a division of the enemy, and that be bad previously sent 'a messenger into the garrison, re questing the Governor, CaNirBELL, to furnish his troops with provisions, of which his troops were nearly destitute. All the British troops had quitted Tariffa, and the Spanish General, COPONS, was left to protect the place. No effort had . b:en used to repair the works of the fortress, on the supposition that the enemy would not again attempt to return. Sir HARRY NEALE arrived at Portsmouth on Fri day, in the Boyne, 98, Capt. JONES, from off L'Oiient, where he has been 26 weeks. Two sail of the line (one of them hearing an Admiral's flag) a few days since endeavoured to get out of that port, with an intention of going to Brest ; but a gale of wind suddenly came on, and it was with g rear difficulty they were saved from going on shore. They have not moved since. Sir HARRY sent a flag of truce into L'Orient to learn the tate and condition of the Laurel's boats' crews; and was informed that 94 men and Officers had been made prisoners, and two men had died.

CfMajOi%Gendhl efiAtptith, at Ciudad Rodrigo.—Lord WELLIN3TOi, to testily his high sense of Major-General Cunereon's great and dis tinguished meiits and setv:ees, determined that he shbuld be interred in the breach which he had so ably and.hcroically asaauhedi as the hlzhest honour he could confer upoh him.

NOTTINGHAM, FEB. 24...--On Thursday the ware house of Messrs. TRENTHAM and Co:- WitS robfar of six dozen and five pair of silk, and ten pair of cotton stockings; Meists,Woulley and pre mises were also robbed of considerable 4)i-operty. The houses of Mr. thaithwaite, Mr. Coldbani, and others, had bzen robhed in a similar wiy.

On the 2 I st, Mr. HEItGY'S house was entered by the window, and 5 warp -lace frames wet e broken. The Luddites, as they call themselves, openly s:ty that they only wait till the assizes are over, before they order a number of coffins to be made. They are in the habit of sending intimidating letters to those whom they wish to terrify. We I.nveli-e -ceived some specimens of those produalons. One of them runs thus : " Mr. BEEDLES.---.YOU seem fully determined t 4 a& contrary to the law which was pass't by Edwa , d.
