CaptBlll WYLLY arrived this morning with dis ?atOles from Major-Gen. LAMBERT, detailing the °Perations against the Enemy in the neighbour to oua of New Orleans. It aPpears that the Army under the command, *FiVaior-General Keane, was landed at the head of the Bayone, in the vicinity of New Orleans, on th e tnornit) n,,• o f th e 23d o f D ecember without op hsition. It was, however, attacked by the enemy in the to t ," 'se of the night succeeding the lan cling, when, af ter . 44 Obstinate contest, the enemy were repuls ed at points with considerable loss. 011 t he morning of the 25th, Sir Edward Pak tlhlll) arrived, and assumed the command of the VI) y. On the 27th, at day-light, the troops moved itc " lv ard, driving the enemy's picquets to within 4 . i)t miles of the town, when the main body of the eut mY was discovered strongly posted behind a kisast-work extending about MO yards, with the tight resting on the Mississippi, and the left on a tl'ick wood. The interval between the 27th December and The Bth January), was emplored in preparation for 411 kttack Upon the Enemy's position. The attack 117.1tic h was intended to have been made on the night qf the 7th, did not owing to the difficulties exile-. ti el .- , . u'ed la the passage of the Mississippi by a er/rPs under Lie utenant-Colonel Thornton, which has deS titiejl to act on the right bank of that ri ver take Piat;e till early on the morning of the Bth.

The Magistrate's have stations in various parts of the town, where there is any danger of disturbance. Military Depots have also been appointed, at which there is an ample supply of Infantry, Caval ry, and Artillery, in constant readiness to quell the least temiency to mischief. The Ma gistrates have a strong body of Constables in all directions, and bold a communication with the Military Dep3ts, which constitute so formidable a power as may bid defiance to the most numer ous and outrageous, mob that can be rash enough to make any attempt at farther outrage. Yesterday the Duke of YORK transacted mili tary business with the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton- House. His Royal Highness 'afterwards wtnt to his Office and held a Levee. The Dake of YORK, has, within these few days, undergone an operation, in consequence of his having been severely afflicted for some time past with a severe nervous rheumatic pain in his head and face. His ROyal Highness is completely re co-Vered, in consequence. On -Friday the remains of the much-lamented Duke of DORSET were interred with solemn cere mony, in the family vault at Withyliam, near Sio i nelands, in Sussex. SPORTING INTELLIGENCB.—A Gentleman, a few (lays ago, laid a considerable bet with a Noble Lord, that there were as many ways, to gain two as to gain one of the Three Thirty Thousand Pound Prizes in the present Lottery, and which was yesterday decided by a calculator in his fa- . your, as follows. There are three ways to gain : viz. the first, or the secon d , or the third. ')Now f iyou may gain two, either by getting the •firSt And second, or the first and third, or the se -doncrtnd third. Of course there are as many wayi 7 to gain two as to gain one of the Three Thirty Thousand Pound Prizes, on the sth of Nest Month. 11It. DISI'LTIMAXCES. Throughout the whole of yesterday, the streets and squares were crowded with people, and in every direction the Military were out, for the purpose of dispersing the populace wherever they attempted to form in groupes, the latter invaria bl)%yielding with hisses and hootings, but mani festing no disposition to resistance. Berkeley square, where Lord DARNLEY lives ; Bedford sqtlare, the residence of the LORD CHANCELLOR; I;arlington-street ; in which Mr. ROBINSON dwells ; and, in the evening, St. James's-square ; were ali thronged with Life Guards and Light Horse; and at Lord CASTLEREAGH'S, and.Aome other houses, were stationed strong files of Foot Guards. A nu merous train of artillery has also been brought to town ; and the metropolis is now in the most formidable state of military protection. Regi ments of cavalry continued, during the whole of yesterday, to pproach the metropolis from all. directions ; and there are at present .not less than 10,000 troops ready to act upon any point at the shortest notice. During the whole of last night, great numbers of persons assembled about the Houses of Parliament, and marked their indigna tion by shouting and hissing. whenever a carriage passed, or a Member of Parliament whose person happened to be recognised. The military were stationed where danger was apprehended from the fury of the crowd. This arrangement was judicious. The House of Commons adjourned at nine o'clock, - hut the crowd remained for a consider able time after, though without manifesting much disposition to riot ; some stones were thrown, one of which passed, with a violent crash through a window which looks into'New Palace-yard. In other parts of the town, hoWever, we are sorry to say, that the mob proceeded to greater acts of violence. They mode an attack upon Lord CASTLEREAGH'S house, but a party of soldiers which had been stationed in it for its defence, soddenly issued forth, and put the assailants to flight. They next repaired to the house of Lord HAREwoon, the windows of.which they broke. .They visited Mr. WESTERN'S in Harley-street, (which was' patriotically designated for attack by Mr. Sturch), and demolished his windows.—Sir HENRY PARNELL'S, No. 49, in Baker -street, was treated in the same way : and we hear that Lord KING'S experienced a similar fate.—Lord BA.- THURST'S, in Mansfield-street, also suffered se verely. Lord DARNLEY'S house was again attacked, and further damage done to it. Infinitely more mischief would have been done, but the military patroled so closely at the heels of the rioters,. that they had not . time to cothplete their designs in any instance. The heaviest calamity which attended these lawless outrages took place in Old Burlingtop street, • whither the mob proceeded to take a se cond vengeance upon the resideneeof Mr. Roßiti sox. Near thespot, however, a partyof Foot Guards hall been stationed to preserve the remains of the property of that Gentleman. .They marched tip and dispersed the crowd , which re-assembled with as much regularity as a disciplined force.— A party of cavalry next scoured ,the -street, but the misguided multitude rallied and . 41tivanced again to assault the object of their blind fUry. Mere demonstrations would suffice no longer, and we regret to say that such resistance was offered from the inside of the mansion, as to terminate fatally to two individuals, a naval Officer, and a young woman, who were killed on the spot. The former was shot through the head.—lt is further report ed, that •several persons - were wounded'in this afiir. The immediate dispersion of, the popUlace, suc ceeded these melancholy events—the streets were paraded throughout the night by strong patroles ; and this morning ail is quiet. Six troops of the 10th, four of the sth, and nearly the whole of the 16th Light Dragoons, besides the 3d Regiment of Guards, Infantry and Artillery, are now on duty in London. In the environs, a regular military communication is kept up by means of a line of mounted dragoons ; so that an effectual force could be poured in at an hour's notice, to protect the lives and - properties of his Majesty's people from these revolutionary depredations. , Two persons assembled in the crowd at Palace yard yesterday, • invited. the multitude to retire into :St. James's Park, where they proposed ha ranguing their friends upon the true nature of the Corn Laws! The proposal was instantly accepted, and a vast collection of people of all descriptions, followed these volunteer orators, until they reached an exalted elm, upon the branches of which these two persons soon mounted. Here they ‘com menced a most powerful appeal to the - passions', as well as the feelings of the mobility, whom they called upon to rally, and bid defiance to,the armed force that was collected to overawe them in the neighbourhooM They had not proceeded far however in their menacing oration, before a squa dron of horse, apprised of the assembly, arrived, and having put the latter completely to the route, took the two deserted speakers down from the tree. and lodged them in the safe custody of the peace officers.—(M. Chronicle.) FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE FIRST OUTRAGES. At ATr. Yoake's, in ,Bruton -street, the crowd again collecting yesterday, and manifested a ri otous disposition, calling out " No Corn Bill !" Mr. YORKE appeared at one of the apertures (for window s there are none remaining, the frames be ing likewise gone), and addressed the populace, stating '' that his house was his castle, and he would defend it to the last extremity." In Berkeley -square, Lord DARNLEY'S house is nearly in the same ruined state as Mr. YoattE's. They have both been abandoned by the wbok of their respective Carpenters wete busily employed the whole of the morning in blocking up the doors. The injury done to the LORD CHANCELLOR'S house - , •ity - Bedford•square, appears still greater than that of Lord DARNLEY'S or Mr. YoaKE's.— The stucco front is completely destroyed, - and the iron balcony broken or bent downwards. Every window in front is destroyed. His Lordship, who either was in bed, or on the point of re tiring to it, after seeing out Lady lia.DoN and his family at the backdoor, into the gardens of the Britivkinust um - , to which he has long had a pri vate-dodey' went to the Museum House, where a party of Military is al rays stationed, and , brought with him four of the Gua - rds with their arms. His Lordship returned to, his own house with the sol diersti into which the mob had broken. He told the soldiers to remain quietly till he should give them the ivord of com!nand to act, his Lordship not intending tv disturb the mob while they merely battered his house on the outside, However, the proofs were too evident that they intended further mischief. The mob had broken in, an ti were throwing the furniture into the street. His T urd‘hip . , upon finding 'this, put himself at • the head of the Men, and desired them to charge with fi xe d bayonets, at sight of which the mob was greatly astonished, supposing thi! force much greater, and fled precipitately; but not before his Lordship had secured two of the ringleaders with his own hands. They are now committed for trial. Driven from the house, the mob retired -to the North West corner of the square, with legs of chairs and pieces et furniture in their hands, with considerable order and deli beration, waiting to see if they wue followed by any great force. It was supposed they intended attacking another house in that quarter, as they remained some minutes stationary consulting.— They then returned round the square to Lord El don's ;house, where they gave three .cheers ; but on perceiving *be soldiers,• who sh ewe d t h emse l ves by bis'Lo n rdship's direction, their leaders otvere heard saying, "It won't do," upon which they again retired and left the square, finally going out at the North West corner. Lord Eldon and the soldiers remained in the house all night. The attack . of Mr. AIEUX, the brewer, In - Great Russell -street, Was not accidental—Mr. M. had been no party to the Corn Bill, but in conse quence-of'the fall in the price of bread, be had lowered the wages of some of his workmen. Mr. W. POLE'S house, in Saekville-row, was also among those that suffered. We have just heard that the man and woman who were killed last night in Burlington street, provoked their fate by their outrageous conduct. The Guards, to deter the mob front violence, fired at them, but with blank cartridges. The man and woman, who were both young, treated this lenity with contempt, and began to throw brickbats at the Guards as well as at the house of Mr. ROBINSON, and all farther lenity would most probably have excited others to follow the example. THE THEATRE. FOREIGN OPERA. --A duller or more insipid Opera was scarcely ever heard than the new Seri ous one, which was dragged through the Hay market last night, under the title of I Riti D'Efeso. if the name of FARTNELLI had not been known. as acelekqted Sin Ber, that name, from this speci men, ,wOOl .never have been heard of as a com poser. SEsst did every thing to support it, par ticularly in her last scene, which is,•however, in tolerably Iong.—GENT should never attempt divi sions, or what is called execution : it is miserable. The Overture was by CHERUBIM', and a most ex cellent composition. The Ballet had its - usual ap plause from a h ouse very, b are o f company. DRURT - LANE.—Want of, room yesterday pre vented 'Our noticing the disappointment of •the night before at this Theatre, where the Tragedy of Richard the Secon,d was to have been revived, but Was unavoidably deferred on account of the sudden indisposition of Mr. ELLISTON. A printed. bill was• circulated in the Theatre, noticing this unexpected circumstance, signifying that Macbeth, would be the snstitutcd play, and that Mr. KEAN would perform the hero of the piece. The audi ence at first manifested - some displeasure *, but were soon appeased, and the play then proceeded as 'usual. Last night Mr. S:PENLEY, whose debut in Young Norval we have mentioned, appeared in the cha racter of Belcour. His performance did not want spirit, but, as in his Norval, it was too obviously artificial ; and of all his gestures, we might say with Archer, in 'The Stratagem, " There is nothing in this without a precedent:' His acting seemed 'compounded of the hurried manner of the late Mr. LEWIS, and a studious imitation of Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE. Whether Mr. PENLEY ever saw the former, as he is so young, is doubtful ; but, , otherwise, we should suppose that that ex-. cellent, but peculiar Actor, was his chief model. Mr. PENLEY had no reason to be dissatisfied with. his reception ; for though there was by no means a immerous,apdience, the applause Which be re ceived, w.cts.t ardent throughout. Mrs. DAVISON, whose -recArntlaccouchment prevented her appear ance for sometime, was well received in Charlotte Rusport. * But Critics differ even on such afirvi as this!— " The audience (says the British Press•) shewetl no syrup. toms of disappointment at the change, and received Mr. Kean, in Macbeth, with plaudits." " Notwithstanding the change of Play Was thus properly announced (says the Morning Chronicle), the curtain no sooner rose than a violent disturbance took glare." Who shall decide whem Doctors disagree CORN EXC,7ItANGE, Ithaca. B.—We had but few arrivals of any kind of Grain this morning, but a. large quantity left over from Monday ; the sales in general were exceedingly dull, and the prices uearly nominal ; the few sales made in Wheat were ; however, on lower terms.
