SOLYM QtifS UfCtßb PALSUM AiJDEAT? L 0 N D 0 IV, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 181. Anotliti Flag of Truce has arrived from France. Flesh speculation , . will, of course, be formed in con sequence of this arrival ; but nothing is known re speBing the obje& of this correspondence between the two Governtnerns. We received the following let . er from Dover : " DOVER, APRIL 29.—The Charles hired -armed schooner, Lieutenant LITTLE, about four o'ciott this afternoon, picked up a small French boat, bear- ing a flag of truce, and having on board an Officer, with dlspatches for our Government. Lieutenant LITTLE immediately landed, and set off in a chaise and four for Deal, from whence the dispatches will be forwarded by the Admiral to London. Nothing has transpited as to the contents. The Officer is detained for the present on board of the Charles schooner." The expeaations which Mr. BARLOW formed of being- able to adjust the differences between Ame rica and France, are not, according to the last ac counts, likely to be realized. BUONAPARTE seems to think that to treat the American Government sometimes with harshness and sometimes with con tempt is the best way of succeeding with them, and certainly his policy has hitherto been success ful. It is positively stated, that the - Messengers lately sent iron) the Arneridan Charge-d'Affaires in this country to France have not been allowed to proceed with their dispatches to Mr. BAaLow at Pars, but have been stopped at Morlaix, and or dered to send their dispatches by the Post. The Americans in Paris are, as it were, prisoners in the Capital; for . they cannot obtain passports, except for America direct. It has been'stated as a probable intention on the part of the French Government, to open the ports through the whole line of Coast from St. Altaloes to Antwerp. Such an arrangement, would, of course, obviate the difficulties attending licenses on the part of both roitntrim, and would be beneficial to our trade, a circumstance that would doubtless•have prevented BUONAPARTE from adopting the measure, unless there were strong reasons at home to compel The Morning Chronicle, is very elegant language says, that " the whole pack of Ministerial yelpers are let loose upon the Common council," and then proceeds to assert ) that the Common Council is, v► ithout comparison, the purest representative as sembly that exists. We are not .disposed to ques tion the purity of that Body, of which the Morning Chronicle has of lite become so warm an idinirer ; bu we hope we may,without any great presumption, venture to comment upon their proceedings, and ex press an opinion upon their Resolutio;is and Addresses. We are not aware that any change has taken place of late yews in the constitution or formation of the Common Council, and yet u e recoiled that some years ago the Morning Chronicle was most unmer ciful in us observation upon that assembly, is without comparison the purest representative body that exists:: It is difficult to account for this extraordinary and violent change ; it is true, that at the time to which we are alluding, the.senti- " wh►ch ments of the majority,df the Common Council .were high!) , favourable to the Ministers of that day but as th, Chronicle was then quite as fully aware of the excellent'and pure construction of that body as it is now, one would have thought that it would have treated that " model" for all other assemblies with more respect. We are afraid, that if ever the po litics of the Common Council should happen to Met . from those of " the Party," the purity of its consttucrion will be forgotten, and that the Morning Chronicle will again have recourse to ob servations much more acrimonious than those for which it now censures other:Journals. Indeed if it were true,, as . it is insinuated; that an intention existed of vilifying the Common Council, we know not where better precedeNs for abuse could be found than in the files of the Opposition Papers. The Princess CHAU LOTTE of WALES is to be pre sewed to her MAJESTY this day at the Drawing- Room, tviiich may be considered as the first public appe,itance ot Her Royal Highness. The PRINCE REGENT goes to Court this day, like most ot his Royal Brothers, only as a private visitor. Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with tht Eli' of LivEnrsorn..

Ho WE, &C. The QUEEN'S Drawing Room this day is expeEt ed to be a %ery brilliant crowded one : a greater number of young Ladies of distinEti-n are to be in troduced on this occasion than have been known for many years past, from the length of time that has elapsed since her MAJESTY held her last Draw ing Room. This day, after the Drawing Room, the QUEEN and PRINCESSES will dine together at Carlton House with the PRINCE REGENT, and in the evening a select party of the Noblesse, without any distinilion of party, are invited to a Grand Concert, one hun dred and forty cards having bean issued on this occasion. Detachments for different regiments employed in Portugal embarked on Tuesday afternoon at Ports mouth for Lisbon. Mr. TER RY, who has acquired considerable repu tation incornedy and tragedy, - is engaged for Ole London Thta:re. Mrs. C. KEMBLE,-WllO was sent to Dublin seve ral days ago by the newspapers, did not set off ►ill 'Saturday. Yesterday a Cow of Direelors was hell at the East India House, when Capt. JAMES Ross, of the ship Carmarthen, took leave, previous to depatting for Madeira and. Bengal.—The Court adjourned, at six o'clock, till to-morrow. The following Gentlemen were called to the Bar 'esterday, by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's nn : William Fullarton, Esq. George Nicholson, Esq. lohn Story Penlene, Esq. john Hodgson, I sq. Thomas Mortlock, Esq. Win. Augustus Cunynghame, Oliver Farrcr, Esq. Esq. Francis Forbes, Esq. Samuel Richardson, Esq. The sentiments in the Address from the Loyal and Independent Livery to be presented to the Prince Regent are well worthyof that trulyrespe6table. body, and is a gratifying contrast to the one pre , settled at the Levee on Tuesday. It were to he wish ed that a copy should be sent to every pats the British Empire, as it would tend to shew what is the real opinion of the Liverymen of London at this critical jundlure ; who have manilftsted on all occa sions their determination to support the Government of their country. The signatures to the Address now exceed fourteen hundred, and it will remain a few days loner at ,the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, and London Cuffee-house,' Luigate- Daniel Isaac Eaton' was.this day brought up for judgment, in consequence of having published " a blasphemous lib •1 on the Holy Scriptures," written by Mapes Paine. Mr. J. Smyra, his Counsel, was heard in mitigation of punishment, and re plied to by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL ; when the Court ordered the defendant to be brought up tte.itr on Friday se'onigl.t. Co). Brown was also brought up for, obtaining by fraudulent means, a grant of lands in the Island of St. Vincent. He was sentenced to imprison ment in Newgate for two years. Mr. HENRY, who makes so conspicuous a figure in the late American Papers, is the younger son of an Irish family of respectability he was in London in the winter of ii i, and entered the Society of the Inner Temple.. Previous to leaving England, he became intimate with a Frenchman of some dis tindion, and siiled in the same ship with him Last autumn for New York. Mr. HENRY formerly practised as a lawyer in the State of Massachusetts, but afterward, resided at Montreal. - We are sorry to learn that, a few nights ago, part of the gallery of the theatre at Tunbridge gave way, by which accident many persons were bruised, but, we add with pleasure, no lives were lost. KEMBLE was placed in an awkward predicament on Tuesday night, in the last scene of Measure for Measure, as J►►NES, in attempting to pull -off the cowl, from tie Duke, when disguised as a Filar, pulled off the wig also. A general laugh, of course, burst forth; but the good humour with which .K.EMBLZ took the incident, the excellence of his acting, and the interest of the scene, rendered she fe-!ling only momentary, and the Play concluded with the utmost.. eclat. NAVAL NEWS. Pis moullt Aram 28.—The American ship Mas sachusetts, Captain CASE, and the Spanish ship Ta lavera, Capt. J. C. FERNANDEZ, both laden w!th timber, the former from St. Mary's for Woolwich, and the latter from Amelia island for Deptford, that were re-captured and sent in here yesterday by the Helicon b►ig of war, Capt. HOPKIN3, were cap tured on thL. 26th inst. by a French row boat pri vateer, belonging to St. Maloes, called the Es fiadron, commanded by Captain BAI, L ADO nE, of three guts, and a complement of forty men, which also captured a light AMerican ship and a sloop, names unknown, at the same tune. The Espadron is about 24 tons burthen ; her crew, with the exception of four or five, were sent away in her prizes; it is therefore supposed she must have re turned to pert immediately. The Helicon chased her some time, but could not come up with her. Arrived the brig ReSolution,- belonging to this port, J. Le LIEVIIE master, from Majorca and Gi braltar, with a cargo, consisting of wine and cork, for dunnage, bound to this port for orders, and is under quarantine. Sailed from M.ijorea, on the 27th March, and from Gibraltar on the 14th inst. A report prevailed at the latter place, at the time of her departure from thence, that a`" British man of war of 74 guns had arrived at Malta with a French ship of 84 guns, her prize, which she captured after a most desperate aaion, in which the enemy's loss was immense, upwards of 400 men having been killed or wounded; the loss on the part of the Bri tish, it was reported, was considerable, said to be half that number. The Resolution brings intelli gtnce that the -Unity, belonging to Scotland, JAMES ROBERTSON, Master, was lost during a Severe storm, at Majorca. We understand she was in ballast, and that the crew were saved. JAMS SALT, ordinary seaman of the his frigate, who was sentenced by a Court Martial to suffer death, for having struck the Master at Arms of that ship, while in the execution of his duty, was, this morning, removed from the Salvador del Mundo, in Hamoaze, to. the Colossus man of war in Cawsand Bay, on board which ship the awful sentence was to have been this morning carried into execution. Boats crews from every slrip in the harbour were ordered to attend the execution ; and shortly after their arrival alongside the Colossus, we understand, a reprieve was read to the prisoner. Arrived the Talbot sloop of war from the Irish station ; Helena sloop of , var from the West Indies, last Irvin Portsmouth ; the 8161 g, be . l.opg;t- kg to and from J.isey, CLEMENT, Master, with a cargo of paving-stones for h 1; Alajest)'s Dock-yard at this port ; the Favourite, LELEAN, from London ; Lively, WHITE, from Chichester ; Regent, BRO ' KENSIIA, from \Vales ; and the Eliza, FINCH, from Bideford. Also arrived the A/phea schooner from a ct taize. PORTSMOUTH, Arl - tIL 29.—Sailed his Ittlajsty's ship Cress: on a cruize. • His Majesty's ship Montague is appointed convoy to the East Indies. DEAL, APRIL 2g.--Sailed his Alajesty's ships Impregnable, Marlborough, and Prince of Wales, for off Flushing. Arrived the Mary cutter from off Flushing, with dispalches. YA mouTn , APRIL 29.--Arrived yesterday from off the Tote' the Hearty gun-brig, with a btig and sloop detained under Prussian colours. Mustc.—We had not room to notice the seventh performance of the VOCAL CONCERT, under the KNYVETTS. and the VAUGHANS, _which took' place on Monday last at the Hanover-viare . RoLuns.—lt was equ d in excellence to any of the preceding Concerts, and was as well attended. BRALIAM; Mrs. LACY, .the KNYVETTS, and the VAUGHAN% exerted themselves very ably.—Dr. CALLCOTT'S beautiful Glee, " GQ, idle Boy," excited, much pleasure, but not un.nixed with regret, from the considefationthat, in his melancholy state, he is not likely to be able to gratify the public by. any new production. The Soldier's Them" rya; so well sung by BRAHAM that it was encored. A Glee, composed by the Rev. R. GREVILLE, wai much applauded. The evening was *agreeably di versified.by instrutnental pieces. . • The new drama . :_of The Secret Mine has been much improved Since it was first brought forward, Indeed, as we said, it was brought forward much too soon, and therefore the first night was all dis order and coofuSion. - It is now a grand spealaele, yet we still think that all cavalry movements are un suitable to the British Stage, which= should be em ployed. in movements of the passions, in order to refine them into virtue. Mrs.lltoKoNs does not commence her engagement at the Opera House, where she is to perform ten 'nights, nil the winter season of the Lyceum has concluded. It is a proof of the great improverneht of the English Performers that they are now capa ble of appearing, ,On that Siage um . which Italian Musicians Only were deemed properly qualified. DowroN came off, so well, a few nights ago, in performing „Falstaff for his own benefit, that he may well repeat it for the berttlit of the public, to tar as rajon:4l. pleasure is as aJvarooge. POETRY. tHE BIRTH OF CORAL, FROM OROFR I S OVID. Now in the sea be-laves his conquering hands. And hides tremendous Gorgon in the sands; But lest the soil the snaky visage* bruise, Soft leaves he culls, and tender sea-weed strews, The spongy weed, invigorated, takes l'ow'r not its own, in contact with the snakes; And all the plant, thro' branches, stem, and leaves; Heaves into life, and stiffens as it heaves : The wondering Nereids new supplies collea, Respedthe,Cause, and iterate th' Effect ; Then cast the petrifying Seed, and find A crimson forest harden hr the wind : 'Twas thus that ruddy Coral sprang to birth, A weed in water, and a stone in earth.
