Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT &Merl with Mr. COUTTS, at his house in Highgate, where there was a heirct party of distinguished characters to meet hip Royal Highness : among them were the Duke of GoRDGX, Lord WILLIAM GORDON, Mr. Boron ADAM, &c. • The Duke of YoRK had a select party to dinner with him, yesterday, at York-House. The QUEEN and soMe of the PRINCESSES are expected i❑ town to-day. Lord and Lady CATLEREAGH• •are expected to arrive this day at their house itt St. James's square,. from their seat, North Cray. An Amsterdam Paper of the Bth says, " we are informed horn good authority, that the National Guard of Paris have unanimously refused to do duty without the city, and have persisted in their refuSal." No more passports are granted by Government fur France. The Royal French army is rapidly augmenting. Agents are stationed all along the line of the frontiers to receive the emigrants, and conduct theta to the proper depots ; while the Rebel armies diminish as rapidly by desertion as they increase by new levies. The happiest union subsists between the Duke of WELLINGTox and Prince BLUCIIEIt. The lat ter hears iu memory the warm and affectionate reception he met with in England, and takes every opportunity to express his regard for the inhabit ants of this metropolis. In a letter from Liege to one of his friends here. he says, ." I arrived at this place three days ago, and have taken the cons/nand of the army. It is in Coe highest con dition : and I am anxiously waitinl fur orders to strike the first blow. Assure my friends in Lon don, among whom I include all its inhabitants, that I fully reckon on their hest wishes ; and they may reckon on my best exertions-" Indeed, the grateful attachment of the illustrious Marshal to our country has been markerl in' every possible way. Whilst at Berlin, he begged 'an English Gentleman who dined at his house, to give his countrymen who were on their tra‘'els a general invitation to visit him ; and to assure them, that they might always be sure of a most cordial re ception. CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 17.--We had no fresh arrivals this morning, but what was left over tram - Monday was quite equal to the demand, the sales in general being exceedingly dull. The little bu• siness that was done was 011 nearly the same terms as on Monday. POtTnv. bN THE totATII OF GET4ERAL ROSS, Patukent !—nolr on thy once peliceftil side, The sounds of industry are heard no more But hostile squadrons on thy bosom ride, And armed battalions glean) along thy shore Thy busy haunts are tit:* forsaken all, Deserted hamlets-6 ot the roofless wall, And .fields uncultured, on thy banks so green, Alone proclaim where mice those haunts have been. And round the ruins where the mansion stood, . The tangled bowers are now impervious grown i And bud, and blossom wild, in solitude For all that pruned-=and all that tilled. ,,, are gone! _Nor voice is heard—save tile loud watch=word given Nor light is seen--i-save where by tempests driven; The all-consuming flame ascends to Heaven. - 'Tis not the Mood-nursed thirst of conquestlightsi The war-torch, o'er thy doszntry blazing high; 'Tis notambition's•scorching breath that blights Thy ripening fields, and bids thy harvest die; But retributive jnstire grasps the brand, _ Thy Leaders kindled in Canadia's land, 'When generous Britain's every nerve was strain e d ; Her treasure lavished—and her best blood drained, In fancy, then, thy Chief perfidiOns - burled.

Ocrolier, 1814, THE THEATRE. THE FOREIGN OPERA.--IC COnsitio Imprudenta was again performed at the Opera-house last night to a Whit-Tuesday audience, 'but even this Calibre of Taste could not receive the miserable perfOrm mice, .which was so liberally hissed, that the finale could not he heard. One Morning Paper, how ever, says, that it " gave general satisfaction ;'! and another, that an " elegant audience were lavish ineir applause." We never knew - before that hissing. and booting were marks of satisfac tion and approbation, --or that holiday-time.was , peculiar for the fashion it brought to the Theatres —but Critics will diEr. DRURY - LANK.—After the Opera of The Devil's Bridge, a new Ballet- was brought forward, under the title of " Drive Love out of the Door, and he'll get in at the Wind Ow." This title is so co pious, and the adage is so old and familiar, that it is needless to enter into the plot. Jr is suffi cient to• say, that a Father is adverse to the choice of his Daughter, and that the Lover overcomes all difficulties. Miss SMITH and the younger D'EGvILLE danced with great skill ; but the Ballet is too long, and 'was not remarkably well re- G A It It I C K. , The TURATRICAL RELIQUE which we presented to our Readers yesterday, and which, we observe, has been copied into most of-the Morning Papers, erroneously stated, that it was the first appear ance, " on any stage," of the Qentlema❑ who performed Richard. The truth, however, is. that Mr. GARRICK, -as is well known to those who are conversant in theatrical history, made his first appearance on. any stage at Ipswich, where he licide his debut iu the part of "'boon, in the Tra gedy of Otounoko,. in the year 1741. The Ips wich Theatre, if a 'Theatre it could be called, was then under the management 'of GIFFORD, • who conducted that of Goodman's Fields, and DUN STALL, . afterwards an established performer of great comic merit in London, and the first Hodge in Lore in a Village, 4 3 weil as Quidnunc, in the Farce of The 'Upholsterer, founded on a story in The Taller. YATES, another .excellent comic Actor o(• the London stage, -was in the Ipswich Company at the. time when GAttatOg. first appeared in that place, where he assumed the name of . LYDDAL, that of one of his mother's relations. He after wards appeared on the same stage in several other characters, particularly Cha►nont, in. The _Orphan, a part in which he acquired great celebrity in London, and .which he continued to "perform till the progress of time 'induced him to relinquish youthful characters. The extraordinary powers which he displayed at this place, induced GIFFORD to tempt hint to appear in the same year at Good man's Fields, where he made such an impression upon the public, that all t!►e established perfor mers, though possessing great merit, were thrown in►u the shade, and he mounted i►►to ~.arivalled repntation, which he preserved during the wiwle of his theatrical life, acquired a princely fortune, and became.inti►nate with _the most distinguished charaCters in this country and all Europe. TUE CITY SWORD. Mr. EDI-von—lt was with much surprise, and no t without reguet, that I saw a Sword, given by the Corporation of the first city in. the world as a testimony of its respect for heroism, exerted in the service of our country, exposed to sale at Mr. RomNs's, in Covent-Garden, and which I find, by the Morning Papers, was sold for 76 guineas. The Auctioneer, with commendable delicacy, did not mention the name of the person who had re ceived this mark of civic honour. I shall follow his example but as the name of that person wal generally mentioned in the Auction Room, and must soon he known to all the town, it is really incumbent on the family, which is highly respect ed, and tit affluent circumstances, to account for a circumstance that otherwise may excite injurious comments. I would fain persuade myself that sonic unlucky accident has happened on this oc easiou, anti that when the real state of tho affair is kaown, it tvill not tarnish those laurels which Mare been a c q u i re d i n t h e fi e ld of honour. Pt:LLlus. Ttit AI Yesterday ttidrning the Doke of Voitt trans• acted military btisinen With the PamcE RRGENT ttt Carlton•flonse ; afterwards his Roy.ii High. ness prr.c,eetled to his Office in the Horse Onards, and held a` Levee as CommAlider in Chief.--4 Among those present were Major Conk:, Aid-de- Came to Sir GEORGE PREVosT, on his return from America, general WEl'Mss, Major Generals PITZ. ROY, C. MtortaAv, T. llAtiox, it. TAYLOR, etc. Several ships arrived yesterday with p tut of the troops recently composing the etpeditinn against New Orleans. These forces are to be 'Sent, as soon as cireinnstances Will admit, to join the army ' under the Duke of 6 VELIANGTONr. . The remains (about 250) of that gallant retti• inent, the 85th, who distinguished thethselves the late American campaign, Particularly at wevr Orleans ; arrived at Dover yesterday mot ning;llii their rJure to the depot of the regiment at flythe l , hating landed yesterday at Deal. His Majesty's ship Trave, having on board fire companies of the King's own regiment, under the command of Major IVlLLtAmsoti; and his Maa jesty's ship Weser, with thy remaindur of the NA gitnent, tinder the command rd .Capt. ELETtIIER, turtle to anchor at Spithead on Sn h Aly lasi: - t i te r an absence of fiv e years from England. This re- giment was engaged in all the principal action% under the Duke of WEr.witrroN in the Peiinsola # and afte'rwards at Washington, and before More tinder General Ross. Since leaving Eng.. I,ind,it has lost upwards of 2,600 men and 800 E.. ficers; in killed and %rounded. Previous to the Scorch Greys.embarking for the Coininent i their Colonel, Sir JAMES STEWART ) promised that, On the rcturti of the-regiment, he would grant to each tnatt 'who then wished to leave the service, a small allotment of land of the value of 8/. per annum on his estate near Ilona* ton, in Lanarkshire, for the purpose of building a cottage, and planting a garden'. Further particulars have reached town of tilt cohnuotionswhich took place at Dieppe on Wed neSday last. On the seamen, fishermen, and boat Men, &c. being called upon to march for the armies, they obstinately refused to.do so, and de clared they would die first. Numbers of the re fractory men assembled together, and hoisted the white cockade : a military force was brought against them, and they were at length dispersed, but not until several lives were lost. It was ex- , pected 'that some ringleaders who were taken•into custody would have been tried and punished; but Government deemed it 'prudent to set them at li berty, and to content themselves with sending for trial, to Paris, a Nobleman named DE CLERCI, to whom the - disturbances that had taken place were chiefly attributed ; 'or whom it was at least thought convenient Ito mark out as an object of vengeance. 'Sift een , months ago, BoortAPARTE, when be was bard pressed by the Allies, and his of were in a very bad way, in a moment approximated the Jacobins. It was at this time, that on his return from a visit to the tauxbourgs, St. Antoine and St. Marceau, for the purpose of gaining the popu. lace, and when his Courtiers blamed this ridicu. lons attempt at popularity, be replied to them, " Gentlemen, you may say what you please; but there are no nobility like the canaille of the faux,• bourgs ; and no canaille like the nobles whom have created." In consequence of the assertions of Moxaos, the American Secretary of State, that Blacks had been taken off from the United States, and sent , to the %Vest Indies, and there sold, as slaves, Sit ALEXANDER cOCHRANE, before he left Bermuda, addressed an official "letter on the subject to the American GpVernment, in which he disproves the calumny; - .and demands Moriaoz's grounds on which he made the assertion. The, Admiral con cludes his letter by observing, that if Mr.Mobl.. 110E . i 'informants had been a cq ua i nte d with the regulations established in all the British West India Islands since the Abolition of- the Slave Trade, they would have known the total impossi bility (4 introducing' slaves into any of them in the manner they state. . It is, said, that before the American Officers who were prisoners at HalifaZ left the place on their return - home, they way-laid one night . the printer of a newspap e r w h o h a d inserted some articles_ on their conduct, and beat him in the most , i yiolent and unmanly manner ; but while they weke in the act of committing this assault, a party of our own Naval Officers, attracted by :the noise; came up, and learning how matters stood, _ they in return fell on the Americans, and put them to flight, after a sharp contest, having given them a complete and deserved threshing. Yesterday, at .two o'clock, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant arrived at the Castle, in good health and spirits, to the general joy of the citi zens of Dublin.--(Dublin Journal, May 13.) A dreadful accident happened a few day 4 ago in the vicinity of Shadvvcll, at a Sugar-boiler's; the man who was attending the boiler unfortu nately fell in, and was so much scalded, although he was instantly taken out, as to linger in the most excruciating pain until yesterday ntorning, when he died in the greatest agony at the London Irrspital, On Wednesday last, a soldier fell from the bag gage waggon of the 58th regiment, which was marching through Maidstone, from Battle to Gravesend, and unfortunately broke his leg. Oa the preceding day, at Battle, a poor woman beA longing to the same regiment, whilst in the act of ... . saving tier child, fell off the baggage waggon, and was hided on the spot.—The child was saved, and the poor woman's remains were interred at Battle on Friday.
