( is Oared equal in the eye of the law, and alike eli gible to offices under the State, we cannot but regard this great revolution as a triumph to the cause of humanity. Should FEnniNAND and the Royal Family of Spain reject the terms on which the Throne of Mexico is offered to them, it is thought that the Imperial Crown will be placed on the head of Count MONTEZUMA, who is said to be a lineal de scendant of the unfortunate Emperor of that name, during whose reign the Spaniards first penetrated to Mexico, and who fell a victim to their treachery, being accidentally killed on the walls of his prison, (the Spanish quarters), dur ing a desperate and gallant attempt of his sub .; to rescue him from captivity, and to avenge upon the Spaniards the outrages and indignities Iwith which he had been treated. A descendant of MONTEZUMA upon the Throne of,New Spain would be not One of the least interesting and wonderful of the extraordinary events which I,zve distinguished the present age. [From the Baltimore Morning Chronicle.] JUDGE WASHINGTON.---We are requested to state, in behalf of Judge 'WASHINGTON, that the slaves on his plantation, of which he has a great number, have become, from long indulgence, discontented and riotous; that there were pre lions causes of apprehension that this conspiracy would lead to alarming results, if it was not checked in the outset ; that he selected the most i:iotous of all his slaves, and sold them in a body to one man, the friend of Judge WASHING -TON, as the mildest punishment that could be inflicted.

'TtIE THEATRItS% ITArmAr.KET.—This Theatre concluded for ' the Season last night. It is but justice to the Proprietor to state that he has discharged his duty to the public with judgment, spirit, and liberality. Ile engaged all the Performers of merit who could be spared from the Winter Theatres, if iVinter Theatres they can now be called, and introduced others, who possess con siderable merit, and will, no doubt, make their way to patentee boards. In Mr. TERRY he retained a very able Stage-manager, who has constantly put his own shoulders to the wheel, and may be justly deemed an established favourite of the public. Mrs.CHATTER LEY has been brought for ward in a manner that has added much to her re putation. Miss R. Coml.', by the same means, has proved herself an accomplished singer, and re. spectable as an actress ; and among other meri torious performers, last not least, Miss BLAKE, whose vocal powers and spirited acting must excite regret that she did not appear earlier in the season, that a wider scope might have been allotted' to her taletitS. The Proprietor erO ployed in the construction of his new theatre, Mr. who, patronized by IIoyALTY, Might naturally be expected to be at the head of his profession. If that gentleman does not possess experience in the construction of a Theatre equal to his knowledge in other branches of his art, it is not the fault of the Proprietor, and, of course, all defects and in cumbrances will find a proper remedy before the opening of the next seasom. The public are in debted to the Proprietor also for the revival of pieces of sterling merit, and for the introduction of dramatic novelties which have been. highly ap proved, particularly the excellent comedy of Match-breaking, and the lively afterpiece of Match-making, both of which were. very well supported by the Performers in general. We could say more in justice to the management, bui our limits oblige us to conclude with the follow. ing Address, which was well delivered by Mr. TERRY, and very warmly applauded by a. flume. rous audience:— " LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—I am deputed by the pro prietor to offer you the customary return of his grateful acknow ledgments for the liberal support with which you have seconded his anxious and arduous endeavours to establish an independent company in the new Haymarket Theatre. " It would be tedious to detail to you the numerous and peculiar difficulties of such an undertaking, as well as the new and increasing obstructions with which this little establishment, so long the object of your favour (and, it may almost be said, of your affection), has now to contend. " Our short simmer privilege, gradually encroached upon, and each succeeding year made less - and - less by the invasions of the winter houses, has at length been entirely taken from us by one of them. Since, then, the winter theatres are becoming summer ones, and are striving utterly to deprive us of that small portion of the year which had hitherto been left free to our use, it is but fair (indeed it is the only chance we have remaining) that we, availing ourselves of the full extent of the - Royal license granted to this property, should in return endeavour as much as possible to make the summer theatre a winter one. " Of the difficulty of this attempt, the proprietor is fully aware : nevertheless, he enters upon the open field of public competition, prepared to struggle and endure : he enters it at present, indeed, with unequal strength, and surrounded by ob structions, yet he is willing to fight on, until lie may at last suc ceed in establishing a company, independent of the larger theatres, which, through the full extent of his license, may have a just and equal claim to your support, in a theatre honoura bly devoted to all the legitimate purposes of the British Drama. " Much of the incipient difficulty, which attends new at. tempts has, of course, been removed by the experipient of the present season, and much of the experience beneficial to future efforts has been obtained; and the proprietor desires me to as sure you, that with his means his exertions shall gradually in. crease in every department, to meet the wishes of-an indulgent public, whom it is equally his duty,•iiii interest, and his desire to serve. Every alteration or . addition by which the comfort, the convenience, or the dramatic effectiveness of this Theatre can be improved shall be attended to, and no exertion on the Pro prietor's part shall be omitted to encourage rising talent, and to secure such of that already established, as time and opportunity may render accessible to him. " I have now, Ladies and Gentlemen, only to add the sincere thanks of the several Per for the liberal support you have granted them, with which I beg mo s t cor di a ll y to un i te my own, and for ie present respectfully and gratefully to bid you farewell." ROYAL WEST LONDON THEATP.E.--The great name of SorflocLes induced us to visit this The atre last night, to witness the representation of CEdipus 7:yrannus, notwithstanding the harsh, illiberal, and even brutal report of the perform ance in a Morning Paper of yesterday, and we were very agreeably disappointed, if we may so express ourselves, respecting a drama tragic even to a degree of horror. There have been several translations, or imitations, of this production of the great Poet of ancient Greece. The first was in 1581, by NEVILLE. The next was by DRYDEN and LEE, 1679. The third, in 1715, by THEOBALD. The fourth by ADAMS, in 17'29. The fifth by Dr. FRANKLIN, 1759, and the last by the present Mr.. Riurticc, 1779, of the British Museum, a Gentleman of well-known learning and poetical genius. The piece represented last night appears to be a compound and abridgement of the whole. It is well condensed, and is a very interesting piece, and - was well supported altogether. The part of (Edipus was performed with great feeling and .expression by Mr. HUNTLEY ; and Tiresias, by a Mr. Moamica, with suitable dignity.--We had no idea of the high merits of Mrs. GLOVER in Tragedy till we witnessed her Jocasta, which would do honour to any stage, and any tragic actress.—The subordinate characters were at least respectable, and the Play was much applaud ed. The afterpiece was The Sultan, and from the time when the farce was originally brought for ward by Mrs. ABINGTON, it may fairly be said that the part of Roxalana was never better, if so well, supported than by Mrs. GLOVER, 011 this occasion. Her performance was easy, hu mourous, spirited, and peculiarly effective, and compared with her Jocasta was a remarkable proof of theatrical versatility. Yet this Actress is suffered to remain in a minor Theatre!! ! Monsieur CAIITONI, a celebrated perfo'rmer from Rome, is engaged for the King's Theatre as Primo Buffo. He is said , to possess a most ex cellent bass voice, and to be a very scientific performer. The arrival of three new tragedies in this country, frGm Lord BYRON, is announced. The hero of one of these pieces is said to be FOSCARI, son of the Doge of that name, who was unjustly I )anished by the Venetian Senate, after having been cruelly tortured, for a crime of which he appears to have been entirely innocent. The second tragedy is entitled Cain ; of the third, the name has not transpired.

Baron Jessier, anxious to promote the amusement of the Sporting Gentlemen assembled on the occasion, had very kindly ordered hares suf ficient for the day's coursing to be provided from his pre serves. Very fortunately, the weather proved exceedingly fine; there was a most excellent display of greyhounds, we do not hesitate to say, of some of the finest in England, and no meet ing of the kind, perhaps, was ever more numerously or respec tably attended. The party were highly gratified by the day's sport, and from the beautiful situation of the downs, and the goodness of the dogs, a more interesting and pleasing scene' could not have been witnessed.

I.—The Brazen, Captain SHEPHEARD, and Hardy storeship, from St. He lena, have brought home Lieut. CAMPBELL, R.N. and the late garrison of the Isle of Ascension, having been relieved by Major CAMPBELL and a party of Royal Marines. Ascension abounds with Guinea fowl, so much so, that a good day's shooting can be had the horned cattle were but few ; goats in considerable numbers. Six day's supply of water could be collectedi but with great trouble. Vegetation was thriving fast. The late garrison consisted of fifty men: Col. BowLcs, of the Guards, Adjutant-General, and Col. Cooper, of the 92d, and Quartermaster-Ge neral of the Island of Jamaica, will embark from this port in a few days. Major Fogerty and Lady, are detained here in the Fanny, in conse quence of his regiment, the 33d, destined from Ireland to Jamaica, being placed on active duty in Ireland. The Fanny will now proceed from this to Cork, to take in detachments. This morning the Royal Marine Corps, under the com mand of Colonel MONCRIEFFE, were ilspected on j Southsea Common by Lieutenant-General Sir R. BBLL, K.C.B. The appearance of the battalion was particularly fine, and it was regretted by a numerous assemblage of spectators, that the boisterous state of the weather prevented their going through the whole of their manoeuvres. The General expressed himself well pleased with the few manoeuvres the weather allowed the bat talion to go through. In - e onsequence o f t h e de tention of the 33d regiment in Ireland (destined for Jamaica), a regiment will proceed from Ply mouth, to release them in Ireland. The 15th regiment, from this garrison, will, in consequence, embark for Plymouth on the 9th inst. Two companies of the 7th Regiment, now at Newcastle, arrived in London on Thursday, for the purpose of being invalided, having beet► dis charged from the Regiment pursuant to the late orders for reduction. The 55th regiment, under the command of Colonel Frederic, arrived at Chatham, on Friday last, from Liverpool. On Thursday, a detachment of the 73d Regi ment of Foot, just arrived from the West Indies, where they have been 13 years, marched through Orford, on their route for Weedon barracks. The remaining detachments are not yet landed. It is with great pleasure we state, that the second Somerset Militia, to which our city and the immediate vicinity furnish almost half its number s , h as , a t it s t ra i n i ng this autumn, main tained its former high character ; a friend at Wells having in formed us, that the orderly behaviour of the men excited gene. rat approbation, as the attainment of the regiment in dis cipline did the surprise of some experienced officers of the army. The corps mustered about 750: and Colonel Sir T. B. Lethbrike, Bart., Lieut.-Colonel Cooper, Major Sheraton, and nearly thirty other officers, were present.—(Bath Herald.) On Saturday last, the North Western Regiment of Oxford shire Yeomanry Cavalry (assembled at Woodstock, under the command of the ;Right lion. Lord Churchill) completed the appointed period for training and exercise. The great pains which had been taken to render this corps complete and ef fective, were fully evinced., as well by the compactness and superiority of the equipments, as by the regular anti sol dierlike appearance and conduct of the men. Many .prizes were distributed by the .officers, amongst which was superb silver tankard, with •an appropriate inscription, which was awarded to Mr: Merry, as mounting the best charger. The regiment was honoured on Friday with the presence of many or the neighbouring nobility and gentry, who appeared highly gratified in witnessing the evolutions and manoeuvres of a regular field - day to the effect of which the favourableness of use day,- and. the beauties; of Bleulittin'' Park, did not a little contribute. • We understand the regiment will assemble again in May next. • On Saturday last, the Agent for Transports at Cove, received orders to proceed immediately to Waterford, to superintend the embarkation of the 49th Regiment. The transports had already arrived there to take the Regiment to Bristol, from whence it ix to march to Chatham, and there again embark for the Cape of Good hope.—(Cork Intelligencer.) [FIIO3I THE MAURITTES GAZETTE.] GENERAL ORDER. II cad-quarters , Po wit , r Wednesday, 2rith April, 1821. The Major-General would be wanting in justice to the troops composing the garrison of Port-Louis, should he omit expres sing the sense he entertains respecting their exemplary con duct on the occasion of the fires which have recently taken place in the town. . The cause of the first rendered it peculiarly awful ; the im mediate scene of the latter . Made it more appalling. But in both instances the conduct of the troops was conspicuous, and could not fail to excite the praise whi c h it : so we ll deserved. . The exertions of many of the officers and other individuals have been mentioned as deserving particular commendation. • But where all appear to have been animated by the same gene. coos zeal, it might be considered invidious to instance any in particular. From this motive alone, the Major-General ab stains from naming individuals ; but he begs that Lieut.-Col. Barclay, and the officers and soldiers of the garrison generally, will accept his best thanks for their prompt and efficient exer tions on the occasions alluded to. It will be a sensible gratifi cation to them to reflect, that those exertions they have been mainly instrumental in arresting the progress of a ca l am i ty which, it not checked, might eventually have led to the most strious evils.

Srn— It is a most pleasing part of my duty to acknowledge the very valuable services rendered to the town of Port Louts by the troops composing the garrison; on the occasion of the alarming fires which have occurred there during the last eight days. The promptitude, zeal, and alacrity displayed by Colonel Barclay, cowman ling Port Louis, and by all the Officers of the garrison ; and the good order and exertions of the men of the Royal Artillery and of the 56th Regiment, and the earnestness with which all concurred, with every effort of the most strenu ous exertion, to extinguish the fires and to secure the property from pillage, are only further examples of what has on fowler occasions been effected by the same means. In conveying my thanks on this occasion, I but feebly ex press the gratitude of the inhabitants of Port-Louis, in witnes sing the interest taken by the garrison in the security of their persons and property. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient, most humble Servant, (Signed) R. T. FARQUHAR. Major-Gen. Darling, Commanding. &c. &c. &c. A true Copy. E. LINDSAY, Dep.-Adj.-Gen.

" This bottle is thrown into the sea from the ship Duke' of Marlborough, of London, forty-two days from the Cape. bound to London, to ascertain the current among the Cape de Verde Islands, which we believe to be to the eastward from this. (Signed) GEORGE THONE. " It is requested that, if this bottle is found, it may be made public when, where, and by whom it w a s fo un d. Lat. 16 22, North, 2 o'clock, Long. 28 31, West j P. at. " 14th October, MO."- On Monday night, or early on Tuesday morn- ing, some person or persons broke into the Parish Church of Bobbing, in this County, and stole the Bible and Common Prayer Book, with sundry other articles, and defaced the cloth upon the communion table : it is conjectured, by what was stolen being found at a short distance in a field in the parish, that the communion plate was the object, but fortunately, by a very pru dent arrangement of the Clergyman, they wer disappointed.—(Kentish Gazette, Nov. 2.) It is confidently stated, in the Memoirs of the Kit-Cat Club, that the great Scottish No velist has received from one bookseller alone, ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE, of Edinburgh, nearly one hundred thousand pounds. If this account be correct, and it is given with an appearance of authenticity, it is quite impossible that any one but Sir WALTER SCOTT should have written them, as it is only by taking into consideration the sums paid to this successful writer for his poetry anti philology, that so large a sum can be accounted for. The author of Waverley, for hi 3 works of fiction, has not certainly received more than from fifty to sixty thousand pounds. This forenoon, the Police having received in formation, that there was a house in the Old Wynd where a number of suspicious charac ters put up, paid it a visit. On their en trance, a young man precipitated himself from the window (three stairs high) and lighted on his feet, without any apparent injury. He was taken to the Police Office, where he was unknown. On being asked as to his mo tive for taking such a leap, 'he said, " he did nu ken," but it was an ill thought. He appears to be about 16 or 1S years of age, says his name . is James Hill, and that he belongs to Airdrie. .He complains much of a pain in his ankles.----:(G lus gm Courier ) Oct. 30.) •
