CorregidorTLe of. Madrid; at the head of the iNltinicipality, addressed the AtigUst Sovcreigu in a fi et . speech he vent lires to ri, , pre..seut ,to his Majesty, that the evilS wthieh afflict, pis good ;peo ple of Madrid, are so excezilye, ueithe.r the great liberality of 'hiS Maje Sty, the a , _:sistance afforded by individuals, nor the ext..ctions of the municipality, can Alleviate o tllcni. That the hospital's, poor-houses, hoUSes Of Correction, and similar establishnients,, contain no feWer than 8000 who receive their daily aliment, through the of the Municipality, furnished by theresourceS so freely accorded .by the gene rous soul of his ; Majesty. This excessive number, however, constitutes but a small fraCtion, coniparL ed with thoSe who languish and stiller in private bouseS,in streets, and in chambers, which resound with their doleful atmours, And which menace tlhe most dreadful political concussions, while tittrneremSarmir consumes all the scanty produec Of an exhaurted country. These scenes of wretch edness are still aggravated in the prospective, by the consideration that every province is either placed under the rigours of Martial laW, or occu pied by the enemy. The strong connection df these important truths, base assembled round your. Majesty, "thernostho nourable and the truest SpariiardS, and the Citizens of this iliunicipality feel they express the universal sentiment of the Majesty. to Nation, when they sup plicate Tour to convoke the CorteS of the Kingdom, according to the example of thoseMo-' darchs, who loved their subjects or respected their rights. The Opposition writers are so much galled by Mr. SHERIbAN'S ludicrous observation, that the Lards GREY and Gittlivim.t were induced to de cline the opportunity of carrying measures which they deemed of " vital importance " to the Era- pine, because they could have " three white Sticks," that they now, i 1 alluding to the subject, insinuate that Mr. SMERIDAI4 is a " Court Buf foon." It is true that he has all the wit formerly supposed to belong to a Court Jester, without .holding the office ; but the Opposition are natu rally offended with him because his wit is direct ed against them, and beCause in matters of " 'vital importance " he will not " To Patty give tip what was made for izcznkind." It has been said in a Morning Paper that a drunken loyalist, at the late dinner in favour of Mr. Parr, excited some disturbance by calling upon the 1:01In HiGn CHANCELLOR of the United Kingdom fin a song or an amatory sentiment.— We can assure our Readers, that the Editor of that Print has been misled, for no such event occurred; on the contrary, the meeting was cha racterized by decorum, as well as by good humour and unity of sentiment. Tlat'arty Writers, and all who maintain their principles, declare, that Lord MoiRA " has lost himself," by his conduct during the late' negotia tions. That the Yoble Lord has " lost himself ' as a Party man, may be readily admitted, but this loss is a gain to the country, which will, no doubt, hereafter' see him free from all the shackles which those men w0..1d impose upon him, who have no consideration for any thing but themselves. The audience, on the last representation of Measure for Measure, where Lucio deprecates se vere punishment for his calumn'.ots ribaldry on the Duke, when the latter said—" Slandering a Prince deserves it"—a general burst of applause testified the' general sense of indignation on the gross- and despicable personality with which the Opposition Papers have ,treated the PRINCE REGENT.

FAREWELL ADDRESS, Spoken by Mrs, S IDDONS, ON LEAVING THE STAGE, 29T1-1 OF JUNE, 1812. WRITTEN 13 - YHORACE TWI.iS, ESQ. Who has not felt, how growing use endears Tin; fOnd remembranee of our former years ?- Who has not when doom'd to leave at last The hopes of youth,, the habits of the past, The thousand ties and interests, that impart A sesoettPo3,tureto the human heart, . • Aiik'Vreathinglinind it close, like tendrils, climb, tloopaing in age, and sanctised by time ? Yes ! at this moment crowd upon my mind Scenes of hrfght'days for ever left behind, Bewildering visions of euraptur'd youth, When hope and fahey wore the hues of truth, And long-forgotten years, that almost seem . The faded traces of a Morningdream !. - Sweet are those mournfill thought's : for they renew The pleasing sense of all I owe to you. • For each inspiring smile, and soothing tear— . For those full honours of my long career, That . cheer'd my earliest hope, and cb:t.fd my latest fear ! And thO', for me, those tears shall LoW no more, • And the warm sunshine of your smile is o'er,-- Tho' the bright beainS are ia.ding fa , it away, What shone unclouded through My summer day,— 'Yet grateful Memory 'shall repect their light O'er the dial shadoWs of the coming night, And lend to 6tei life a softer tone, A moonlight tint, a lustre of her own. Judges and Friends!. to whom the tragic strain 'Of nature's feeling never spoke in vain, Perhaps your hearts, when years have glided by, And past emotions wake a fleeting sigh, . May think on her, whose lips have potted so long charmed sorrows of your ShaksPeare's song : On hei, who parting to return , 'no more, - Is now the mourner she hut seemed before,=' Her Self subdti'd, resigns the melting spell, • And breathes,with swelling heart, her long, her last Farewell! THE THEATRE..---The final retirement of. such an - actress as Mrs. SIDDONS from the stag e,• is an event that Must excite no slight degree ,of public attention and , regret. Accordingly as soon as her intended farewell Was "announced, there was a great eagernesstoTsecure places for such anocca. 2 Sion. A vast crowd assembled round the doorsof Covent-Garden Theatre.' last night, and a greA struggle. .for admission took place. The - play uas lliveleth, and as Mrs. SIDDONS has long been distinguished for her excellence in performipg heroine of the, piece, and as the play its - elf is con sidered altogether as the chief work of, our great dramatic Bard, she very properly determined to make her last impreggion on the public in' that character. The house was crowded in eyery part, and she was "received on her entrance with all that respect to which her great abilities and the merit Of her private Character gave her fall pretensions. It is needless for use to enter into - any coMment on her performance ; it is sufficient to say, that she exerted her powers with'as amazed as if she had still fame and fortune to acquire from public favour. After the sleeping scene, as she was leax ing the stage, the admiration of the audie,nce burst forth in the loudest a c cl a m a ti ons o f applause, and great numbers in the pit waved their hats in testi mony Of esteem and respect. This appla use con tinued for several minutes, as - it indeed had on her entrance. There was then a confusion among the audience, some of whom called for . a repeti tion of the scene, that they night again witness the last professional exertions of this great actress. Many others, with a delicacy which is seldom found in a mixed'audience, expressed a wish that, in compliment to Mrs. SinnoNs, the play shtald conclude with her 'performance. As this seemed to be tile feeling.of a great - majority of the audi ence, C.J.A.e!IAN came forward and signified that as it was understood to be - the general wish that the play should then , finish, it should be obeyed. At length the curtain drew up, and Mrs. SIDDONS appeared sitting-at z table with the Address in her hand, to Which, 'howdver,: she had 'no occasion to refer. She came forward amidst, tic most fervent acclamations, which for several - Minutes prevented her froth - speAing. It was • evident indeed that sl4 was also -trainel by her own feelings.-;--- When silence prevai;el, she' delivered with ino dc S - nity;a'nd very obvio:.s em , ,tio throughout, the Address, which our readers will tied in our Paiii• 'of this day. ToWards the conclusion of this Address; her utterance was interrupted by strong 'agitution, and when it was ended, Mr; KEMSLE came upon the stage to. assist her in. removing from it. She manifested her respect and, gratitude towards each side of the House, and towards the front, and though with evident difficult3s continued to pay her obeyance to the 'aud;ence till' she finally retired. Thus ended the professional course of the greatest actress that has appeared within the memory of the preseilt genera.Oon, and, as far as history and traditioninfOrm is, perhaps, the greatest in the tragic province that ever graded the English stage. It is with'inneh . pleasure that we she our brother Journalists, in all the Papers . of this day, testifying their respect for the talents of this pre- eminent ornament of the Stage. We heartily join with them, and we are sure that the public at large will agree with us in regretting that she has retired while her powers are in such 'a state as might probably have enabled her to afford un abated pleasure for years to come, hut also in approving that good sense which induced her to retreat, when she could leave a favourable impression upon the, memory of the audience, and when she can fully enjoy the independence which her talents have so deservedly acquired. After this high intellectual treat, and gratifying exercise of the nobler feelings of our nature, many of the audience, who were not satisfied to lose the last act of the play, clamoured f or th e remainder of it; and Mr. KEMBLE, therefore, came forward to as sure them that he was most anxious to conclude the. play if it'were the general wish. Here from some there was a vehement cry of " No,. no," and from others " the Play, the Play." As it would have been impoSsible to satisfy both .parties, the performers 'proceeded in the farce, which was All the World's a Stage; bilt such turbulence prevailed between the contending parties, that not a_word klf it could be heard, and . the curtain diTmneti sarnirl Qll 4h. ,I;.S n sr: -71.; THE INTERIOR. N(YrTINGHANT, JUNE 26.--The Theat - ae at this place has been abruptly.

' Oa the tune being called.for, it Las generally lo:!en'2CC:ol3 pan'ect s with a 'cry of r: Hats soffl" which has in.o.ineen the - z.nOSt violent opposition on the partof those who are Any thing but loyal. Instead of complying with the request, the Opposition answer it with a cry of " Millions be free !," and, rising vial their , hats on, place themselves in the most menacing attitude of defiance. This act of indecency has frequently led to - blows, and individuals in. the boxes have been ohliged to seek their personal safety by leaping into. the pit - , .while those in the pit have placed, themselves in array against the bokes, and a general contest or tiun:Tlt•haS ‘, been the result. In several instances tif:kets have been. distributed,: gratis, to the amount of several 'pounds, with a view to beat down the - loyal party by main force, in 'consequence - of which several officers had been insulted and mal-treated, parti cularly oa Wednesday evening last, when a num ber of those desperadoes surrounded Brigade Major Huinp!u•:as, on coining out of the Theatre, hooted bath al , . 1g the streets to his quarters, -and threwa battle in his face, avhich eut him severely'.—Bri 7 gade Major fLunpbrys is a most gentlemanly cha racter, Who had never taken any part whateVer in the disturbances ; but that he was, a military offi cer was' quite sufficient.•- Onanother occasion, a party way-laid an,officer of the Second Somerset Militia, who, had• been forwardin displaying his zeal and loyalty to his King at the Theatre, in • the Park, ,late in the evening, atld beat him in a ' most inhum an Manner.. Several have beedcom pelled to, enter into recognizances for their good behaviour, and two or three are bound. over to appear at the Quarter Sessions, for the assault - committed on the officer in thQPark. • This even ing was fixed for the: benefit 'of Mr: Rohertson, one of our highly-respected - Manageis, who cal culated upon a net receipt of at least, 100.1. but, .by the abrupt closing of the Theatre, his. benefit' is necessarily postponed until after the Races, which, it iS:siipposed, will be a great loss to high. SHEFFtELD, JUNE 27.-1-We aresorry-to learn, from the Resolutions, of the Meeting of Lieute nancy and Magistrates, that the nightly depreda tiOns, and other most violent breaches of the \peace,.. in a great part of the manufacturing dis-1 tricts, of ,this Riding, stilj continue. The most effective measures. are immediately' to be taken to stop' the career of the lawless offenders. , • STAFF62D, JUNE 27.—1 n the beginning of the last week, a strong, body of those deluded men, callin7 themselves Luddites, surrounded the'house of a Lady, the widow of an Officer, residing in Edgeley, near Stockport, and, with horrid threats, demanded entrance, to search for/ arms. The in habiants, under animpression of dreadful conse quences resulting from a refusal, opened the door, when a number of armed men rushed into the house, and,' after . .. Minutely sear c hi n g a ll p arts , took away eight swords, leaving the affrighted in mates in a state of extreme consternation. The party consisted of from eighty to one hundred, variously armed; and they paid the strictest obe dience to the commands of one who acted as the leader, and who was of a respectable appearance. We wish we could, with that degree of justice we owe to the. public's information, here close this article ; but we are sorry to say, the lapse of each day, discloses some new object of alarm—some new act calculated to impress upon us the most alarming sensations and apprehensions for the ge neral peace and safety of the country. It has been told us, that assemblies nightly take place in secluded places, to the number of some hun dreds., that the Oath continues to be administered, and that the, names .of those who are parties to the abominable and seditious compact, are called over at the several places of rendezvous with 'all the regularity /and appearance of system and dis c cipline. 1-ItmpEusElELD, JuNE 25.—Last Monday, about midnight, a great number of arme4 men, with . their faces disfigured by broad black marks down each cheek 'and over the forehead assembled new; the dwelling-house of Mr. Fi s he r , a s h op k eeper a L BriestWistle, iu 'this neighbourhood, and, after firing two guns, or pistols, demanded admittance into Mr."'.A.isher's house, which he refused. '!'hey' :.hen broke open the door, and two of then mill ing into the house, seized Mr. Fisher, who.had just got out of bed; they each presented a pistol to his breast, and threatened him with / instant &ath if he- stirred a fOot. Not intimidated by this threat, Mr. rushed from them toward the door, when he N'as seized by other six men, who, placing a sheet over his head, face - and arms, kept him in that situation, while their coinrades . ransacked the house, and took f;:in his pocket book bills to the amount of 116. besides 201. in notes, and some cash ; they also took -a quantity of notes and cash otrt.of a drawer, but to what amount Mr. Fisher does not exactly know. When the depredation was completed, the leader cried out to the guard placed over. Mr. Fisher, " bet him go ; don't hurt him ; we have Igot what we wanted, and we will bring 'it back in thrze months ;" and immediately made off. HULL, JUNE 27.—Since our last were com mitted to 'York Castle, Bettis, the•wife of John Woad, of tioebury,. near 'Wakefield, charged upon oath with', having, on Wednesday last, at Horbury, assembled's:yid' 4 great Titunbttr of per";. sons, and riotously upset. a cart, containing po tatoes and onions, which the owner was then re tailing,'_and which property was felgniously taken away. ..She,. the said Betty Wood, addressing the mob, said, " him; let us murder him, and take. his stuff from him ;" and that she was other wise aiding, encouraging, and abetting in the said riot.
