Such subtertuges will not do. There are but two sides in the approaching contest. The Hamburgh Papers still hold out a hope that this upstart King will join the common alliance, if his ,CroWn is guarranteed to him. A. descent upon Naples would, in our minds, be a better measure. Among our other Ehtracts will be found a very animating Pioclamation by the King of PRUSSIA, and official Papers of a similar character issued by Prussian Authorities. A Royal Proclamation from the King of FRANCE is daily expected. SHEERNESS, APRIL 22.—At an early lionr this morning, arrived here the Admiralty Yatcht, with Viscount Alst.va.t.e; Admiral Sir JOSEPH li 7 OIIKE, J. BL.ATCHFORD, and J. NV. CROKER, Esqrs. The Namur (flag-ship) fired a salute on their landing from the barge of Admiral Sir C. ROWLEY.. The distinguished visitors were received by the Captains of all the ships at this port, the lion. Commissioner BOYLE, and the principal Officers.of the Yard. A guard belonging to the .9th Regiment of Foot was mounted on the occa sion. They proceeded immediately to inspect the improvements, &c., with which they appeared to be perfectly satisfied; after which they embarked in the yatcht and returned to London. [Nom the Hampshire Courier.] " A. strong Channel fleet will be immediately collected, as a fleet of observation, under the com mand of . Lord KEITH. Naval arrangements are also making; in, and relmive to the Wands near the French Coast, and an Admiral is about to be re-appointed ; hut on whom the command will be contvpred is not vet mentioned. " Count MouNTGuiLlEtts, id-dil-Camp to the Duke (.1: BERRI d Mons. MAztsr, p to the D..ke d'Ortt.F.Ass, arrived her , ,- ye,terday from Caen ; they state, that there was a fair at Caen a few days ago, at which nir-hi,,iness what ever was do e, so completely is confidence at an end—Many Englishmen were walking about Caen „ r i te . un i nterr upt e d. A conscription to a eonsi dcrAble exte t is going on In France, but the peo , antry of the country exhibit tie most deter mined resistance to it, as well as great disappra hition io the Government of BUONAPARTE. The Above Gentlemen wished to JOin the .Royal Party, - for which they had leave from BOoN'APARTE, Out fearful of detention from some of the enus:ariei near the frontiers, thought it advisable to laud in - England, and re-embark for Os ten d. " By arrivals this week from Havre, we learn that the soldiers there are very fliscontent ; above 200 had deserted from the only re;!iment of ihe line in the place (the 888i 1 h)-300 Nmional Giards had lien ordered to Paris, hut after go 7 ing about ten miles they threw away their arms and disper . sed, , The whole garrison of Havre, we are po,uively assured, do not exceed 1300 men--- a few gun, are mounted, but the place ahogetlier is hy no means prepared for a sudden attack.—' The frigate building has been launched, and is certainly a very fine ship ,of her .class.—Having felt the serious effect upon Oleir commerce, the inhabitants deprecate MON APA RT& it: the severest manner, nor are they at all "reserved in their re ; .marks, but Speak most openly." Yesterday, soon after ti►ree o'clock, the PRINCE RKGENT, attended by COI. IVIRLLISH, the Equery in Waithw, visited the Dtichess D'ANGOULEt4t, at the French Ambassador's house in Poicmau square. The REGENT remained with the Duchess near two hours. The LORD CHANCELLOR had an audience, yes terday morning, of the PRINCE REGENT,"at Carl- ton-house. On Saturday the Duke of ORLEANS had a long interview with the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER at his house in Downing-street. Yesterday about eleven o'clock Mr. DOUGLAS arrived in town in a chaise and four with 'dis patches from - Brussels, &c. Saturday at two o'clock a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till about half-past three. At the - breaking up of the Council, Viscount CASTLEERAGH waned upon the PRINCE: REGENT at Carlton House with the result of their deliberations. At a late hour on Saturday night ViSCOUDI CASTLEREAGH stimmoned another meet ing of the Cabinet for yesterday. .They met at the same place at three o'clock, and broke up at a quarter before five. The new Treaty of Alliance signed at Vienna on the 25th of March, it is said, was ratified un Saturday afternoon. • It has been suggested that Louts ,;VIII. Would join the Allied Sovereigns at Frankfort ; but re cent letters state that he will remain souse time longer at Ghent. It was erroneously stated some time ago, that M. DE CHATEAUBRIAND had remained in Paris, and embraced the - cause of the Usurper. Tirat eloquent and admirable writer is with his So vereitrii at Ghent, as are M. LALLY TOLENDAL, IcE ST. Mouis, and several oth er persons of di~tirsguished literary talent ; by w h ose united 13• hours, it may soon he expecten that Wrance will he enlightened as to her real situation, and that all the calumnies and impostures of, the . Rebels will be victoriously exposed an d refuted. SHIP NEWS.

THE THEATRES. Dan VI • LANE.—The Tragedy which has been so long expected, and has excited so mach interest in the hit;her dries, was brOught forward on Sa turday last, under the title of Ina. The story, though expanded to a tedious extent. may be dis patched in a very. brief abstract. The time of ac tion, was tinting the Saxon ['qui/Telly. Cenulph King of W e tisex (Pak:), had been some time at war with that of Mercia. .To reconcile the pat • Edelfrida (Mrs. GLOVER), the daughter of the latter, arrives at.the court of Wessex, fur the purpose of marrying Egbert (KEAN), the son of Cenulph. It appears, however, that Egbert hail been secretly married some years to Ina, the daughter of an Old friend of Cenulph, and to whom the latter had been indebted for his life. Egbert is• ordered to annul the inarriae, hut refuses, and, as Ede/frida•is much attached to him, she, in revenge, roues the resentment of her father, who moves with a powerful army towards Wessex. In this extremity, the general call of Ceuulph's army for Egbert to assume the command, induces his father:to confer it upon him. He defeats the enemy. Dining his absence, .Baldred MAO, an abbot, but who had been a soldier, and a pas . sionate but rejected admirer of Ina, burns with revenge towards her and his happy rival Egbert, incites the King to summon Inn to court, and propose to her the alternative of annulling her marriage, or being doomed to immediate death. She prefers the latter fate. At length, after Eg bert has visited the retreat Where he had secreted • hut, finding that she was absent, and•has left re liqueh which lie' conceives she never would have parted wit's till her death, he, concludes that she has fallen beneath the auger at his father, and is going i t o destroy himself, when Ina rushes in, ac compatiied by her father, who gives his consent to their marriage, and the piece of course ends happily. - It should be mentioned that Baldred had em ployed assassins • to way-lay and murder Egbert, but that th e latter, by his eloquence, brings them to repentance, and Baldred, in an - attempt to stab I him, is slain by his companion illwyn should be said also, that Edelfrida, having visited Ina'S retreat, and vainly urged her to give up ,er hus band, attempts to kill her, but tieing prevented,' she also destroys herself . . _ Su c h i s th e outline of this Tragedy, from which our readers will perceive that there is not h ng of novelty in the fable or the characrets. The visit of Edelfrida to Ina's retreat resetwdes that of Roxuna to Statira, and Eleanor to Fair Rosanicind.. the conversion of the.ass - assins their dire ful purpose by the remonstrance's of Ebert, is ana logous 40 that of Cato - and the conspivators xeited bySernpronius. Upon the whole there it nos. thing of impressive interest, more thao of novelty, in this drama, t).0,1 It if it had been brought for. : ward in It t ! lOve compact state, it might have ex perienced a nuire fat.O.:rabie ree;:ption. The sen timents were of the ordinary kvel, and the language was not recounnentled by any peculiar strength, beauty, or elegance.' 'The images .seemei to be taken from " all the Birds of the air," and " the Beasts of the'held ;" and ‘we were a little sur prised that they were not also derived from "all the Fishes in the sea." But whatLis-more ob jectionable is, that these images were introduced at periods when bursts of passion might be ex pected. ‘Ve sincerely regret , that it is not it) our power, consistently with our sense of duty to the Public, to give a more favourable repot t of ibis play, as Mrs. WiLmoT, the acknowledged author, is a Lady celebrated for talents and attainments in the Fine Arts. KEAY, who was intended to he the Hero of the Piece, bad a eharacter which admitted of no _pro. minent : effeets. Mrs. GLoVER, an exrellent Ac tress, is never in her 'proper element when she appears in tragedy She made, however, 'more of her part than we expected. /rut is a character of too touch tenderness for Mrs. BARTLEY,- who appears to most advantage in the expression of tempestuous feelings. The play, however, alto gether, was supported with zeal and PorE acquitted himself very well in the aged Mo narch ; and, RAE was sufficiently dark and malig nant in Baldred. The Play was tolerably well received during the first three arts, but the attempt of the King to pray before the altar seemed so irreverent a circum stance for public view that a great Opposition arose, whirl) contititt , d with little interm'ssion • till the dropning Of the curtain, DEAN attempted to announce it for repetition, but could not be heard. It has been since withdrawn for altera tion, at the desire of the Author.—The Managers did - their part in producing sonic. striking, though alwayS appropriate scenery. The house was crowded with the fashionable world. • The Prologue, .of .course, of a grave descrip tion, was recited by PowELL ; but, under a mis taken idea of preserving the sense, he sometimes ran the lines into one another, so as wholly to destroy the divine. 7',his is -a coMmon error on the stage. The Epilogue, which does credit to the playful Muse of ANACttEON MOMIE, and which we have inserted, was spoken by Mrs. BARTLEY. EPILOGUE. WRITTEN BY THOMAS MOORE, ESQ. Last night, as lonely o'er my fire I sat, • Thinking of cues, starts, exits, and- , --all that,f And wondering touch what little knavish - S i t rite Had put it first in womens' beads to write; Sudden 1 saw—as in same Witching dream— A bright blue glory round my hook-case beam, Frain whose quick-opening folds of azure ligtit, 00 flew a tiny Form, as small and bright M Puck, the Fairy, when he pops his head, Sonic sunny morning, front a violet bed ;—• Bliss me!'—l starting cried—' what Imp are you?' • A small He-devil, Ma'atn—my name BAS }hau- A hawkish sprite, mach giv'ti to routs and reading; 'Tis I who teach your spinster of high breeding • The reigning taste in Chemistry and caps, 'The last new bounds of tuckers and of maps, • And when the waltz has twirril her giddy brain, With metaphysics twirl it back again!'— I view'd hint, as he spoke—his hose were blue, His wings—the covers of the last Review— Cerulean, border'd with a jaundice - hue, And tinsell'd gaily o'er, for evening . wear, . Till the next quarter brings a new-liedg'd pair. • Inspied by me,' (pursued this waggish Fairy) "rhat best of wives arid Sapphos, Lady Mary, • Votary alike of Crispin, and the •M use, • Makes her own splay r foot epigrams and shoes. • For me the eyes of young Camilla shine, And mingle Lovers blue brilliancies with mine; For me-she sits apart, from coxcombs shrinking, 6 Looks wise, the pretty soul! and thinks she's thinking. •By my advice Miss Indigo attends • • Lectures on Memory, and assures her friends, " Pon honour—(iniimicks)—nothing can surpass the pl an " Of that Professor—(trying to recollect)—psha! that MCP tuory man— " That—what's his name ?—him I attended lately—. " Pun honour,. he imprOved Mg memory greatly!" 'Here, curtseyic low, I ask'd the blue-legg'd Sprite What share he had in this our Play to night ? ' Nay, there—he cried—' there I am guiltless quite : What! chose it-Heroine from the Gothic time, • When no one waltz'd and none but, monks could rhyme; • When lovely Woman, all unschool'd and wild, • Blush'd without art, and without culture *wird: • • Simple as flow'rs, while yet nnelaBs'd they shone, ' Ere Science can'd their brilliant Pork! her own, • Rang'd the wild, rosy things in learned orders, And till'd with Greek the garden's blushing borders ! ' No—no—your gentle Inas will not do— ' ro-morrow evening, when the lights burn blue, • come-6miiiting downwards)—you understand—till then„adieu!' -And •has the Sprite been here ? No—jests apart— • Howe'er man rules in science and in art, The sphere of woman's glories is the heart. And if our Muse have sketched, with pencil true, The wife—the mother—firm, yet gentle too, . . Whose soul, wrapp'd up in ttes itself hath spun, 'Trembles; if touch'd in the remotest one; — Who loves—yet dares ev'n Love himself disown, When Honour's broken shaft supports his throne; If such our Ina, she may scorn the evils, • Dire as they are, of Critics and—Blue Devils. COVENT GARDEN.—Mr. KEMBLE, we regret to bear, was taken ill on Saturday, aiid was not able to perform. The part of the Stranger was; in consequence, sustained by Mr.YouNG, whose ex ertious were honoured with general and warn applause. - It is said that BILIONAPARTE would not permit Lord F. SOMERSET to take ith him from Paris_ the Duke of WELLINGTON'S valuable plate, which had' been presented to him in connuernoration of his -many glorious victories. Admiral GANTHELIME has assumed the com mand Of the Toulon fleet. The Conscription Laws are, it is said, again acted upon in France. A demand of 1500 men has been made upon Dieppe.
