B.—A mew/ peal froth the ' churen-hells announced the arrival of the PRINCE REGENT here, •a few minutes before nitie o'clock .on Friday evening. His Royal Highness was ac- t outrank(' by the RI ht Hon.. Sir B. Bloomfield. The Marquis ot Anglesey, Sir W. Keppel, Sir E. Nagie, &c. had arrived earlier in the day, and, with the Duke of York, received the Regent at No. 8, Marlborough -rot", •the Pavilion, froM the etxtension of the improkementS there, not being in a condition for occupancy. The Regent, with the Royal Doke,, the Marquis of Anglesey, &c. .took dimmer soon after his arrival. As early as !three o'clock yesterday morning, the Duke Of TM k departed for Windsor, to receive the oh y ela us' Report upon the State of his Majesty's Health, but his Royal Highness is expected to re itairti this evening. Yesterday morning the Royal George yacht, ‘tthicie had come round to this station on Thurs. d ay, two frigates, two armed brigs, and the Mar quis of Anglesey's, and other yachts, were all 'Ong as close in as safety would admit to the shore, it being then known that the Regent it 'tended to embark on board his yacht early it 1 the afternoon. All ranks and descriptions o f people, consequently, continued to assemble aisout the south etift, of tire Steyne, the cliff p Pranks, and on the 'beriCh, during tire morning:— AA two P. M. the state'harge front the yacht run it t, the rowers in which, sixteen in number, were uoiformly dressed in blue jackets and trolvsers, w ith red facings, giving something of a mi litary aspect to a nautical character. Time w gather was lovely—a slight breeze from the wo;st prevailed, and gently agitated the sur farm of the ocean. , Numerous pleasure-boats, filled with fashionable parties, diversified the scene on the water ; and time assemblage of spec- • tat ors about the Strand was very numerous. At two p.m. the Prince Regent, arm-in- artn with the lion. Capt. Paget, and accompanied also by Sir B. itlloomfield, Sir W. Keppel, Sir Edmund Nagle, &C. left the Palace and crossed the Steyne for the watt:t's edge, descending the road by Russell House, amidst tire shouts anti acclamations of the aurrounding populace. His Royal Highness was babited inn a loose hime coat, white trowsers, black. neckcloth and white hat. Ills countenance was remarkably cheerful, and we never had the pleastire to ht hold him in better apparent health. The embarkation was effected in the easiest and safest way ; his !loyal Iligliness.passed through a bathing-machine, purposely run lion the water, and stepped into the barge front the opposite opening. The royal standard was now hoisted at the bow, and which was the signal for the royal salutes front tire shipping generally. These salutes were repeated on the Regent's reaching the yacht, andwhen the royal standard was shifted to rite main of the royal George. The royal squildron now stood out for the south-east, in which d , rection it was visible in the evening, way!) weather equally favourable, and tire breeze in the same quarter. His Royal Highness's destination is not decided ly known here; some say the Scottish coat/,includ ing the honour of a visit to the Earl of Fife ; and others affirm Portsmouth, where the Persian Am bassador is to be put on board ; the Isle of Wight, Plymouth, &c. Prince Esterhazy came in last night, and em barked in a gun-brig to follow and join the royal squadron. SHIP NEWS. PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 7.—The Tartar frigate, Commodore Sir Gao. RALPH COLLIER, arrived this afternoon front the coast of Africa and the \Vest Indies. She left the island of St. Domingo on the 7th. That island was in a state of per fect tranquillity. The import and export duties Lad been reduced to 5 per cent. for English goods, and 10 per 'cent. for the produce of all other countries. The King was superintending the erection of a line of battle ship, as a harrier to the Spaniards. They Havtian Hospital is wider the direction of a MIWSTRWART, of the navy, who ranks as a Brigadier-General. The King had es tablished several schools on Dr. BELL'S plan of education, in which the children ate taught Eng lish (under English teachers), with a view to the extermination of the French language in the island. Souse of these schools contain 300 boys, classed. in the most regular manner. The Grand Dignitaries gave very superb balls and dinners to the Officers of the Tartar, and showed thesis the greatest attention. The • Spartan frigate, Captain IVzsE, had conveyed a large quantity of specie from the Spanish gain to Port . .. Royal. General M'GREGOR was at Port-an-Prince : be had nearly lost all the remnant of his diAeated troops by sickness. Ge neral ENGLISH, with. 4000 Englishmen, well arm ed, was at Margareita, and were to proceed thence in a clay or two to the Caraccas. The Tartar has brought about 40 chests of silver on private account. AuG.

MEETING OF THE PROPRIETARY. Saturday a lq,iting of the P;opr;e'ors of this E§lnblishmeilt was held, fur Lim virpos- - of receir- og the Report ot th, Seit'ct C .onoittee, relatiyti :Ot the letting of the The 4 re Mr. CALCRAFL M. P. being 'called to the Chair, pro ceeded to read the Report. It counbei.ao 0 by stati g, that the Select Committee had nearly br,,tight to a c l ose the very important duty ittipoSeil upon taco:. The man of 25,e001., which Was absolutely necessary to relieve the pro perty, was realized. The new real et s bad groerously gieeta up the at rears due to them up to the pee.ein ~ervid, toil also the surni , aecroing tt, them for the next for:. ~c .t! - 5; that is to say, until the end.of the theatrical sees ii of leaS, it which _period they were to resume their rents. Ihe bond- ,olti \ ers (with the exception of one Gentleman who was in the ‘...!un try) had made a similai . sacrifice of the intere-t due to then► at present, as Well as of that which would ari:ie Attiring the next frnr years. It was determined to tit e ; Ile new re.,,rs the deed of agreement provided by Ain tit Parliament, but out hitherto carried into effect ; aitil also ti‘ give the Lond bidders a Valid secerity: The Committee ford ckperienced the greatest. li;terality from tire tradesmeir, waiitora of the establi , hmebt,• all of whom,. aith the exception of cre ditors to the amount of about 16001 had coo, Into the ar rangement propoaed to thera.—(Applause.)—The Ceiethittes had examined the sealed tenders for taking the Treat ! Ott lease. Among them wcre heist two o ff ers on terms of a rest ad vantageoui natbre to the proprietors, with adequate sec.:Vity I they had seleeted the highest offer, and recommend,' it to the General ConiMittee, win, were to investigate the security offe, ed. The Geueral Committee were Satistied aith the se curity offered. and this day the securities were realizca. The Report went oil to state that the period of notice required lir Act of Parliament on the resignation of the SulaCoanuittee hat expired. and probably 'another Sub-Committee could not be elected before the 6th of September, when the general ballot aould- take place. The Select Committee having beet& honoured with the 'unliMited confidence of the pi oprietoes, felt it their duty to offer their services until a Sob- Committee was / eletted. The R.eport coniluded by re presenting the ng•cessity of the Subscribers immediately paying their Stibsi:riptions into the haudi of the hanker of the establishanent. The Honourable Gentleman having , concluded the Report; observed, that the Committee had ) after much labour and attent'nm, realized the object fur wiiirh thee had been constituted. The Theatre was now let, and he I,„a no doubt, from the judicious management of the Gentleman who was to hold it, Mr. Elliston, that the hopes held out to the proprietors would be realized. Ilut even, if in the , first, second, or third year of that Gentleman's management, he was to fail in his undertaking, still the proprietors would be in a much better situation than they were at present. Here he felt it necessary to state, that in the course of their negociation with Mr. Elliston and his legal adviser, a Gen— tleman of the greatest respectability, they found the greatest liberality and punctuality [applausel ; nothing had beets ' held out which had not been realized. The Gentiemau's offer was a large one, and the security was as good as it was reasonable to expect in such a transaction. Every thing bad been conducted on the part of Mr. Ellistun in a ma n ner which, did much credit to that Gentleman, and gave great satisfac tion to the Committee. [Mr. El list on, who stood behind. the Worthy Chairman, seemed evidently affected by these ob servations]. The favourable !paltrier in which t iie Taratre was, let, augured well for the interest of the proprietors It would be necessary to appoint sonic part of the select Com mittee to disburse the sum raised among the tradesmen credi tors. Nothing could be more satisfactory to them than to pay off those demands, and he trusted that, ere very long, the Proprietors would reveler a divldr;id on their shares. — Much had been done to relieve the estahlishment from the weight under which it laboured, no ess th .n front 35,0001- to 36,0001. of debt having been extanguished by the consent of the taatlesmen, new renters, and bo.ol-iol.ters. Thus the deit was reduced from near 90,0001. to les, groat 50,0001. He did not mean to take any Inerit to the Coroo,ittee tor tats- If they had been angels, instead of iliele men, iney could not have brought about what had been done artairot the consent of the renters, bond holders, and tradesmen. — Considering the suns now due, which, with the accruing interests, had been given tip, it might he said that the debt bad been reduced to the amount of between 50 and 60,0001.> He did not wish to be sanguine itt his expectations, but there was little doubt but the hopes of the Proprietors would be realized, and that in the course of ten years, the property would be free from all ineutobrance, save 1 Ste claims of this new renters; and though in the meal time no ilividend could be made; still the value of the shares would be eonsieerably increased. Mr. COCKER asked whether no dividend would be made to those who had already advanced such large sums ? Mr. CA LCRAFT said, there could be no expectation of a dividend before the expiration of tell years. Mr. ROBINS.—" Certainly not." Mr. COCKER. said the money advanced ought to be se cured to the Subscribers. Mr. CALCRAFT said he had omitted to state some other particulars. It was held out to the subscribers, that they were to receive a security to the amount of 80501. annually, now the Theatre was leased out at 10,2001. a year to Mr. Eliistoo. The fruit-otfices and the houses in Vinegar-yard were re served, making all together a rental of 11,2501. Front this there was a deduction of the Duke:of Bedford's rent, the expencee of watch and firemen, amounting to 24101. ;eav-I ing a clear rental of 88401. being 7901. more than was origi nally stated to the subscribers. No more than 80501. however, was to be given as a securi4lo the subscribers, the remain ing 7901. being kept as a surplus for incidental expences. the first tour years the 25,0001. loan, with interest, would be repaid. Then the liquidation of the bond debts wouldeam owner, after which the claims of the new renters would come in. .Thus, in the course of ten years, the Proprietors would step in, free from every lien but the annuity of the tear renters. Mr. COCKER said, that for ten years the Proprietors would. share nothiirg. For the four following years they would hare, about 21. per cent. in repayment of a sum of 210,0001. ex pended in building the The.ttre. Mr. CALCRAF t observed, that at the end of 14 years the boxes would fail to the Proprietors, which would greatly in crease the interest. 'cite lease was for 14 years, and due ill that period a sum of 15,0001. ,was to be expended on this Tiesstre. Its the course of the second season, it was 1111 ed to contract the lemse considerably, which would render it • attractive to the public and beneficial to the Pi opi ietors. Mr. COCKER said, it would be Water if those alterations were made immediately. Mr. CALCRAFT said, the Committee had stipulated that the money to be laid out should be expended as beneficially as possible. The meeting should recollect, that they had commott cause with the lessee ; they ought nut to screw hint up too tightly. The Committee acted on the principle of give and take, lire and let live.—(Applauses.) Mr. COCKER meant to cast no imputation on the Com mittee; they had employed themselves most zealously in this trust confided to them,. lie merely wished to understand the situation iii which the Proprietors stood. Mr. CALCRA FT observed, that the free admissions to the renters were to be secured. Mr. ROBINS remarked, that the low interest of 2i percent. hued been objected to, but it should be remembered, that were it not for the measures recently adopted, there would be no interest at all. He bad known shares to have been sold tor 151. and 171. each, but in a short time those shares would, he had no doubt, be raised to-101. and .501. each. tie hoped the subscribers would speedily make good their subset iptiuns, as at present every thing depended on dispatch. Mr. CaLCRAFT here said, in a low tone, that he had known shares to have been sold for 101. eat b. Mr. ELLISTON said, that he would at that. moment give 151. each for 100 shares, if he could procure them. Mr. C.NLCP.AFT said, that when the private boxes fell in to the proprietors, it would raise the interest paid to mote than five per cent. It was then moved and cart ied, that the Report of the Se lect Committee be confirmed, and that the Committee be con tinued as a Select Committee, with power to carry the ar rangements I ecommended in it into effect. Mr. ROBINS moved the Thanks of the Meeting to their worths , Chairman, for his able and indefatigable exertions its behalf of t he Theat re. Mr. ELLISTON, in rising to second this motion, said, " Gentlemen, you have reposed a sacred trust in rile; I feel this to Ise the most awful moment of my life. My property, my all is at stake. Permit me, however, to have t lie plea sore of seconding the motion of thanks to our worthy Chair cid unanimously. Mr. CALCRAF I', in returning thanks, said, that the other Members of the Committee Were equally, if not more, entitled to tueirt hanks than he was. He did not mean all the Gentle men who composed the Committee, at, some of them had not attended ; those, however, who did attend, had exerted them- Selves in a manner to merit the thanks of the Proprietors ge net ally. Thanks were then voted to the other Members of the Cout suittee ; after which the Meeting bruise up,
