With himih the course of the present spring, we have the strongest reasons to-doubt both these assertions. 'We cannot, certainly, take upon ourselves to assert, that Austria will take an alive part against France; but it is an event by no means improbable ; at least the extraordinary uneasiness which BONAPARTE has manifested on account of the increase of Austrian Troops on the Italian Frontiers, proves that he is of that opinion. The'llambia g h Mail which arrived last night bring s no intelligence of importance. THE Bill for the Reduttion of the Militia yester day passed through a Committee of the House of Commons. The only Amendment of any importance that was adopted was one proposed by Mr. Yalu: ff, 1 by which men from the Militia are to be permitted to volunteer into the battalions of Artillery, and • ititothe Royal Marines, as well as into Regiments 01 the Li ne . G eneral FrrzrAre rcx proposed a Clause for limiting the period of the enlistment of Thee under this Bill to five years, or six months law the termination of the War : but, after some %lunation the Honourable Member withdrew his Motion, ~„ nu.

POLICE. The following are the particulars of the singular Case which we mentioned yesterday, as having cone under the investi. gation of the Magistrates of Bow-street t PuaLtc-Orerce, BOW.STIt ET.—A young man, of a very respenable fantily, has been under a pri vate examination for several clays past, charged with uttering a forged draft for a considerable amount, with art intent to defraud Messrs. Forsters and Lub bock, Bankers, in the City. The following circum stances have transpired : The Prisoner went to a Jeweller's, in the Strand, and agreed for the pur. chase of a quantity of goods, and tendered a draft on Messrs. Forster, Lubbock, and Co. but the Jeweller hesitated at giving change, as he was not sure it was a good one ; the Prisoner observed, the change was of no consequence, he would call again the next day for the change, when they had aster. rained that the draft was a good one. In the mean time application was made to.the Banker's, and the draft proved to be 4 bad one. The Prisoner, ac. cortfng to his promise, called the next day (which was certainly more the att of a madman than a rogue) ; he was of course taken into custody. On Monday morning an aged uncle to the Pd. toner, a very respectable man, called upon the Pro. secutor, and requested a sight of the Draft, for the purpose of taking a copy to make a case to lay before Counsel, which the Prosecutor complied with, but held one end in his hand, when the old Gentle. man suddenly snatched it and tore it. A scuffle ensued between the parties, but the old 3entleman succeeded in getting it into the fire, and it was burned ; he was in consequence conveyed to Bow. street, when he declared upon his honour it was not Isis intention to attempt to destroy the Draft till the moment he did it, when the sudden impulse of nature came into his mind, that he probably had it then in his power to save the life of his nephew. Yesterday both of them underwent a final private examination, when the Magistrates being satisfied with the prOdalion of the Draft on the first examina. tion, he was fully committed for trial . The uncle was admitted to b a il, hi mse l f i n 4001. and.two sure. ties in 2001. each, for a violent assault upon the Plaintiff, Mr. CONST, who attended for the Bankers, was of opinion it would prove to be a misdemeanour. The Dux& of Sumx attended the examination, CORN Excll,f,yoz, MARCti 29.

An apology was made for the substitu tion of HILL in his charaner, b ut t h e A u di ence rejeded it with great violence. BL ANCHARD read a Letter from BaAHAM, stating his having with. drawn himself from the Theatre ; and other expla. nations were attempted, bet without success. The Audience demanded vehemently to see Mr.KeMBL 6, who Was not in the Theatre, arid who did not dine at home. He was found with some difficulty, and he hurried to the 'I heatre. He 'repeated the informs. tion that BRAHMA had resigned his engagement, but he begged to be excused from stating the cause, as it would probably be' submitted to the Public in another manner. In this situation, he said it ,was necessary either to change the Play, or to assign the charaeler to Mr. HILL, and it was thought that the latter expedient would he most acceptable. The Audience were satisfied by the firm, manly, and respectful manner , in which KEMBLE explained the matter, and the Piece then proceeded without farther interruption. Fist, I. went through the part with greet' success, and i was evcored in some of the Airs. The reason that induced BR. AHAM to with. draw himself, it is said, was an objection on the part of the Managers to let him introduce most of the Songs of The Cabinet between the Ads on STORACR'S Dent!. fit, as they conceive that, being what is called a Stock Piece in the Theatre, its general attradion might be lessened by hacketying its chief Airs. We know not whether this be the exact cause, but we know that public Performers are too often inflated with success, and fancy that the Managers, and even the Public, cannot do without them. Musical Performers are particularly inclined to z;rue them. selves airs; and we should not wonder it the resig. nation which occasioned so much tumult, last night, was the rash effed of overweening confidence.-- Considering how well these people are paid, and what fortunes they accumulate, when men of learn.. ing and genius are obliged to struggle in obscurity and want, it is 'surprising that they cannot learn a little modesty and gratitude. THR OPERA.---A grand and beautiful serious Opera, entitled La Clernenza di Sti,siotre, was last nilrttiunnaht forward for the Benefit of Mrs. Bit— Ltkir/ix, at the King's Thea:re. It is not a new Piece, but was composed by Baca so long ago that it has all the charms of novelty, in addition to its intrinsic merits,• which are of the highest kind.— The Fable is founded upon the well.known story of The Continence of Sciiio. Mrs. lit L L INOTON per. formed the Heroine of the Piece in the most exqui. site style ‘,.4 musical' ie:cellence. Her recitatives were given with fine, exptession, and her Songs warbled with delicious effed. She particularly dis. tinguished herself in a Bravura, and " Se ti Perda 0 Caro Bene ;" a capital Song by GUGL Her manner Of singing the latter was the very periedion of the. art, in softness, expression, delicacy, and taste. The whole of the Opera was highly admired, but ,particularly a 'ter,;tetto in the first, and another in the second Att.--- Several of the airs were erredred. The House was not so well attended as might have been expeded on the benefit of such an admirable Performer. The Opera . is brought forward with great pomp and splendour. DPI HAY es having sprained his knee, an apology was made for him, and his cha. rater - in the Ballet of La Belle ,Laitiere was per. formed with great eifed by I)'EG . v ILLS. Mad. DES HAYES was able to appear last night as the little Milk Maid, and she fully deserved the applause with which she was received. Music...—The second performance of the LA DI ES° CONCERT took place last night at Mrs. BEN. Grosverm.square. Madame BIANcHI, Mr. SMALL, and Moriet,Lt, acTritted themselves very ably in several Duertls and ..Terzettos. Mrs. Mike, who was prevented by indisposition from performing at the first Concert, came forward last night with great success in a favourite Song of HANDEL ) and an Italian Air : both were given with admirable expression and effect. She is, in. deed, a great acquisition to this elegant Concert. The Rand was concluded by SALowiii with his usual ability. Among the proofs of that attention which is paid, at present, to Agriculture in Europe, there has lately occured a remarkable one in Russia.— The Emperor ALEXANDER has determined to have every Government in his Empire surveyed by a pratlical Agriculturist, for the purporr of making Reports similar to ►hose which our Board of Agri. culture has published of the English Counties. The Russian Minister, M. NOVOSSIL4OFF • while in England, engaged the Rev. ARTHUR YOUNG to go to Russia to draw up the first of these Reports for the Government of Moscow. Thu is the third imitation of our Farming Reports which have taken place. Many Irish ones have been printed ; and those of the French Departments have been com pleted by order of BO'NAPARTE. General WASH. INCTUN recommended the same plan in America.— A Board of Agriculture, on a very extensive scale, is to be established lit St. Petersburgh. Thus have the laudable exertions of Sir Joists SINCLAIR, in England, whiCh have proved of incalculable benefit to Britain, been the means of animating the rest of Europe to copy an example pregnant with private wealth and public prosperity, THE HAMPORdit MAIL. CoNstartrinotitti Feb. t9.-• :. The Weehabirc2 are not yet entirely eiterminated, nor is it prob that they soon will, while there ate every where so many of their partizans. According to Letters from Aleppo, of the gth of January, after a battle be, tween them and the Pacha of Bagdad, on the Tigris, they again assembled in considerable numbers on the Frontiers of Teak and Omour ; upon which flit Pacha of Bagdad and rise Imaun of Muscat proceed. ed to Bassau to concert there a plan of operations against the in4urgents. This meeting was not urn.. known to the latter, for as the Imam) war returning by sea, he was attacked by Wechabite Sailor+, and murdered, with so of his retinue. The death of this Imaun is the more to be lamented, as his suc. cessor has always shewn himself a secret adherent .•F the Wechabites. In Romini likewise, the banditti who were dispersed, have found an opportunity to coned in a numerous body, and the, Porte has re. ceived advice, that they have burned and entirely destroyed the town of Heraclea, and a neighbour. ing village. Orders have in consequence been sent to the Pacha of Adrianople, to take the most vigor. ous measures to exterrnirate these banditti, to enit, ble him to eff-A which, the Grand Vizier has aerir to his assistance a considerabie body of Troops with Artillery and Cavalry. Fee. 20.—The new Organization of the (Itotrwin Troops, both by sea and land, is already begun. and the aCtivity with which it is carried on shows that the Porte is fully determined to execute it its such a manner as shall perfectly attain the end pro. posed. The discontent which this measure °cert. sinned at first among the populace now begins to subside.
