MATAno, OCT. 220.—Hostilities have ceased between tht 4arrison of Barcelona and the French and Spanish troops who form the blockade of that place. It is affirmed that the orders of the King of Spain have been brought by a Grandee, who arrived yesterday at Barcelona. Several flags of truce came out yesterday and to-day to the head-quarters of the Duke of Conegliano. Ne vertheless,' the Marshal sent this evening to Mataro, a Captain of the Artillery, with positive orders. Our naval force has been augmented by the arrival of several vessels from Cadiz. The Major-General Despres was to arrive yesterday at Holstalrialt, to sum mon the Governor of that place to surrender to the French. It is thought that before the end of the month all the places which still hold out its Catalonia will acknowledge the legitimate power of the King. Ax, OCT. 19.—We learn yesterday that the firing still continued at Seo, and the garrison persisted in holding out. We fired a shower of balls and bombs into the place. Several of them fell on the citadel. DttunY-LA.N.—The character of Hamlet was again assumed on Saturday by Mr. MACREADY. We have nothing to add to our former opinion, and do not think that it is one of his best per formances. In the beautiful passage where Hamlet exclaims 6 ‘ What a piece if work is a MAN !" the article a has always been omitted, and "MAN" only certainly gives more philosophic dignity to the passage ; but we have. referred to the Folio of 1632, as well to MALONE'S Edi tion, and both indeed justify Mr. MACREADY*S introduction of the article; but it was omitted by Mr. GARRICK, who was the SUALCSPEARE of acting, and whose example might well be fol lowed. In the passage were Hamlet says ‘C man delights not me (which would justify the omission alluded to) nor woman neither, though, by your smiling, you seem to say so," Performers, in ge neral, make Hamlet speak angrily, but in our opinion they should treat the smile jocosely ; for immediately on hearing that it refers to the arrival of the players, he manifests much good humour, and Hamlet often shews that he is not only capable of taking a joke but of committing a Pun. Upon the whole Mr. MACREADY appeared to us to be respectable, but by no means great in his per formance. The house wa s- we ll attended, and he was much applauded. COVENT GARTIEN.—TheMUSICeI drama entitled The Slave, was represented here on Saturday. Mr. COOPER, a manly actor, who appears to disdain imitating ..,any of Jiia"CoMpetitors, and to act from his own► feelings and judgment, gave sufficient prominence to the part of Gambia. The other characters do not call for any parti cular notice.—The farce of A Rowland ,for an Oliver was rendered highly diverting by Jorms, RAYNER, FAWCETT, Miss BEAUMONT, and Miss FOOTE. Mr. HuGuts, the North American Charge d'Affaires, who interchanged orations with . Mr. CANNING at Liverpool, was to leave Stockholm about the middle of the present month, for St. Petersburgh, on a mission to the Russian Go vernment. Several rumours have been circulated in the course of last week respecting the alleged preparation of hostile armaments in this country. We are enabled to state from the best possible authority, to what extent they, are true.— A very ridiculous report was recently circn- The 93ct regiment of foot, now in Ireland, is to be sent in two , equal divisions to Batbadoes and Demerara.

The French Minister has taken measures to obtain from his Catholic Majesty indemnities for the losses sustained by our commerce from the rapacity of Spanish privateers. -- - MR. ROWCROFT.—The public in general, us well as the numerous friends of this gentleman, must be gratified in finding that he has received the appointment of CONSUL to one of the South American States. Mr.ROWCROFT has long been generally known for his public spirit, commercial knowledge, oratorical power, and political con. sistency. These qualities procured for him the dignity of an Alderman's gown ; and, if he had not been influenced by too hasty a diffidence in resigning it, he most probably would have been raised to the highest civic honour in the great emporium of the world. It is to the credit of Government, as well us to Mr. ROWCROFT, that they have appointed him to this station, and there can be no doubt, from his abilities and experi ence, that he will discharge its duties with ade quate zeal, knowledge, and fidelity. The Lady to whom the gallant Officer who lately returned from a hazardous expedition is said to be so unfortunately attached, is under stood to be a Miss BROWN. She is not described as possessing beauty enough to account for such an extraordinary fascination, but is said to be rather accomplished. It is reported that she is on the eve of marriage with the favoured rival. Ma. CaNNING.--Plymouth, Oct. 24.—1 t having been generally reported that Mr. CANNING, who is on a visit to the Earl of Morley, at Saturn], was about to honour our theatre with his presence last night, the house was tilled at an early hour. About the middle of the overture the Right Honourable Gentleman, accompanied by Lord Mor ley and a large party of distinction, entered the house. As soon as he was recognised, the pit rose and commenced loud and general applause, which was warmly echoed by the audience, en every part of the house, and lasted for some minutes, when a general cry arose for " God save the Bing," which was ac cordingly played by the orchestra. Mr. Canning acknowledged, by repeatedly bowing, the cordial greetings of the audience.--- He left the house before the conclusion of the performance, in consequence of a bad cold.

I understand, by private letters from Paris, that a certain party which was there last winter, has again appeared on the Stock Exchange there, and circulates every day various reports to answer its purposes. On Sa turday they gave out that a number of failures had taken place on the Stock Exchange, London, which threw a great damp on the French Alarket. FOREIGN MAnxET.—Spanish opened at 26, ; New, 1924.

OLD BAILEY (TIMI DAY.)-Mr. Bury, of Sloane-street, was this day put on his trial, for purchasing a pin of a boy for nine pence, which had been stolen. The facts of this case have been already so fully before our readers, that it is only necessary to state that Mr. Bury was ac quitted without calling any witnesses, although there were 170 ready to testify to the general respectability of his character. CHEMISTRY.—We have seen no late Work on " Chemical Science?' so fall of important investi gations, or so clearly elucidating the effects of a variety of new and ingenious experiments in Che mistry, as the "LrcrotEsi! delivered at the Sur rey Institution by Mr. GOLDSWORTHY GURNEY, nor do we believe there is a similar work extant from which the admirers of this useful and pleas ing science can derive so much information as they will obtaim-from a perusal of these Elemen. tary Lectures.

We have just heard that a Courier from Vienna, by way of Paris, brings dispatches which are said to state that Russia end the Porte have ar ranged all differences; and that Russia will imme diately endeavour to get a footing in the Me diterranean which will bring on much angry discussion between that Power and England. (From Paris.)--Ten thousand Spanish in fantry will be immediately sent to South America to attempt the re-conquering those lost countries, in which they will be aided by the French. This measure is ex pected to lead to an immediate arming on the part of England. The Duke of ANstou- LEME has expressed most unequivocally his dis approbation of FERDINAND'S 'Decree of th• Ist of October, and the whole of the European Powers have not only aduised, but required in the most powerful and effective manner, that this Decree shall not only be modified as regards the Constitutionalists personally, but that all loans and money transactions shall be acknowledged to the extent of at least THREE FOURTHS : Such, we are assured, is the news of the moment.

FASIIIONABLE PARTIES. The Dowager Duchess of Richmond entertained the Duke and Duchess of Richmond and a distinguished party at dinner, on Saturday, at hex house in Regent -street. THE PARKS. Such is the natural partiality of the British Fair to a Sunday promenade in the Park, that evensometimes " The elements combined, with rude Boreas at their head;" will not prevent our Fair ones from taking their afternoon excursion, and en joying the comparatively salubrioua air of Hyde Park. The manifestation of this determined spirit was never more power fully displayed than it was yesterday; for, notwithstanding the uninviting coldness and gloominess of the day, hundreds of " the fairest of God's creatures" were seen displaying their beauties attended by admiring swains, and a numerous caval cade of horsemen and carriages were to be seen in the Drive. • THE DUKE OF CLARENCE.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.- t'stert lay afternoon the neighbourhood of Long-acre was suddenly thrown into the greatest agitation and alarm by the following melancholy cir. curnstance :—Mr. SHVIII.OOK, a respectable appraiser and auc tioneer, residing in Belton-street, after having dressed himself in the morning, went out for a walk, and returned to dinner about three o'clock. He had not been up stain more than five minutes before his wife observed something strange in his court tenance, and all of a sudden ho began to rave in a most terrific manner, foaming at the mouth, and pourtenying other symptoms of insanity. Several neighbours was called up stairs to the as sistance of Mrs. Sherlock, who was placed in the most immi nent danger of her life, the unfortunate man having attempted to force her out at the window. Two men, on entering the room, endeavoured to secure his hands, but they were overpowered, anti one of them was pitched over the staircase by the maniae, and was most seriously hurt; the face and hands of the other • was dreadfully lacerated. The poor fellow extricated himself from every person, and ran down stairs into the street, where he .stripped off his shirt, and began to beat his head on the curb stone ; he then went on his knees and offered up an incoherent prayer, after which lie ran eff with surprising speed through Broad-court into Drury-lane, and thence into Wild-street; he then turned into Duke -street, Lincoln's Inn fields, anti rushed into the Catholic Chapel whil s t the congregation were at their devotions; several persons here pecered the unfortunate man, and he was with difficulty conveyed tome, raving. vehemently, as he passed through the streets. Mr. St a nton, the surgeon, of the Strand, attended, and the poor fellow was secured by a strait-waistcoat; and such was the extent of the malady, that he was obliged to be corded down to the bedstead. He was übsequently conveyed to an Asylum. TILE ILO YAI NAVY, &c.

It was the anniversary of the Battle - of Trafalgar; and the public, we are persua d ed, would have been more highly gratified had the ship been christened " Col lingoocr— a name that will ever reflect honour and renown on the naval history of this country.—The Prince of Saxe Linen. gen (son of her Boyal highness the Duchess of Kent) was present at the launch.
