Vs this morning received New-York Papers to the loth ult. brought by the Lady Arabella Packet strived at Falmouth. We have seleeted the only Srticles which appear at all interesting. On Saturday morning, as soon as fits MAJzsTY had breakfasted, he left the Queen's Lodge, tended by General MANNERS, anti rode to Ascot Race Ground, where HIS MAJESTY was met by Earl SANIIWIcu, and several others of distinction, when the Royal Deer was turned out of the cart about eleven o'clock for the day's diversion. At starting, he ran with great swiftness towards Sun. Ping Hill Wells, taking to the right by Kings. beach Hill, across the Forest, where he was closely pursued, and at length taken, after a very hard rim of about qwo hours, near Mr. CRUTCHLEY'S Park. Tile same morning HER MAJESTY and the PRIN. ESS ES, attended by Lady AY L ESB UR Y, and Miss VYSE, took an airing to Frogmore. On Sunday morning THEIR MAJESTIES and the tRINC ESS ES, attended by General MANN e RS, Major besaottovort, Lady AYLESBURY and Miss VYSE, hiencl divine service at St. George's Chapel, Wind. tor, where an excellent Sermon was preached by the Bishop of NOR W ICH, • from the 6th Chapter of St. John, and the 671 h and 68th verses. he ROYAL FAMILY were not expeeted in Town yesterday, as erroneously stated by some of our Co_ temporaries. It. was His MAJESTY'S intention to have taken the diversion of hunting with the har riers yesterday ; and HER MAJESTY was to have had a party of Friends in the eveningat Windsor. The ROYAL FAMILY'S unexpe4ted departure.from Windsor esterday morning, was oecisiorsed by the arrival of some Dispatches which Hu MAJESTY received yesterday : morning at seven o'clock, by a Messenger from Ministers, in consequence of a meeting which they held on Sunday evening ; His MAJESTY gave immediate directions for prepara tions to be made for going to London with all possi ble speed. A few minutes before eight o'clock, His IVlAlEsiy's Hobby Groom was dispatched to Lon don, to order the horses to meet the ROYAL FA. ittLy at Hounslow. The Messenger made such good speed, that he arrived at the Mews at a quar ter before ten; the horses had been out an airing in Hyde P ar k, and they were immediately dis. patched, and arrived at Hounslow in good time, to fleet the RQY FAM 1 LY. After one o'clock Their IVIAt lax ES and the Princesses at zAn VIII and Au. ctrsTA arrived in a carriage arid four, at Bucking. ham:house ; they were followed by the Princesses SOPHIA and AMELIA, attended by Lady AYLES. EU RY and Miss VvsE, in another carriage and four. The arrival of the ROYAL FAMILY was so very tinexpetied, that the Pages in 'waiting, and those employed in Buckingham-house, were not apprized of it but, a very short time previously. It was her Royal Highness the Princess MARY'S intention to I.ave taken an airing as usual, between one and two o'clock, but on the unexpeaed arrival of her Royal Parents, her Royal Highness did not leave the house. Yesterday about twelve o'clock, the Dukes of YoRK and Coma EaIAND visited Her Royal High. nest, the Princess MARY. At three o'clock a Council was held at Bugking ham.ilouse, which His MAIEsTY attended ; and there were present the CHANCELLOR of the I...XcliE. qlsEtt, the Earl of WEsTMORLAND, Lord HOBART, Lard CASTLEREAGH, Mr. BRAGGE,Stc. The List of the Minority on Mr: CALCRAFT's N 1 ° 6 9 1 % which appeared in .a Morning Paper of yes terday, is very incorrect; as we can positively as sert, that Sir GILWERT HEATHCOTE, : ,Sir JACO/.

THE Brig Claude, of Blithe, Captain J. LANE, from Ramsgate, in coming for Dover Harbour this morning, dpring the heavy northerly wind, was driven behind the Head, and it is feared will be lost. The Crew were, with much difficulty saved. Soon afterwards an Oyster.boat, with four men in her, coming for the Harbour, struck against the Head, and sunk instantly. The men, by the great exertions of the Dover Boatmen, who at the hazard of their lives, there being a most tremendous sea at the mouth of the Harbour, instantly put Off boats to their assistance, were picked up.

To the Belliqueux, for the capture of the French frigates la Concorde, and la Medee, a distribution will be made on Wednesday the gth inst. on board the Belliqueux, at Chat ham. ' The last accounts from B.trbadoes inform us, that on ,the 35tht of December, a mutiny broke out on board His Majesty's Ship 4xcellent, off that Island, which, however, was soon suppressed, by the ring: leaders being taken into custody. Four of these have becn tried and executed, and theßhitsivain has been broke ror neglea of duty. The object of t4e Mutineers was to bring the Ship home to Eng. land. The utmost order, we are happy to add,' priVailed at the date of our adviees. The Lords CommissionCrs of the Admiralty have been pleased to re4aproint R. B. VINCeNT, Esq. to the Command of His Majesty's Stooptvir row, at Portsmouth ; 'and Lieutenants C.' F. DALY and Jowl GAZINWAY to be Lieutenants of the same Sloop. The Honourable Commissioners of Sick and Wounded Seamen have been pleased to. appoint JOHN SHAWB. Esq. to be Surgeon of the Arrow. The Batrack BOard in Dublin are. to decide upon the proposals for building barracks at the different stations in the County of Wicklow mountains, as certained by Colonel STE WART and Capt. TAYLOR.

And we further under stand, that the Gentlemen of the County . of Wick low . have mernori4led the_ Board for a. station at Liffey plead. Thus will all the mountain traas be aurrounded, • and commanded by those strong sta tions,• which, we learn, will be complete by Mi. chaelfria-s next.. In the mean time, zoo armed yeomanry'e are mployed• in making the great mili 'tary,rciad of communication. Yesterday a man of the name of Cosgrove, a Printer, was brought before the Sitting Alderman, at Guildhall, charged with having publicly made use of treasonable and seditious language. It appears this man was drinking at a public.house, in the neigh:. bourhOod of Fleet.street, and when there, exclaimed '.with so much insolence against the Name and Per. son of fits Mist esTy, as to induce same poor men, . who were , in the taproom, to get a Constable, and take him into custody. The Landlord of the house was brought forward (though not very wit tingly) to corroborate. the charge ;. and the Magis. trace ordered the Prisoner to be committed to the Compter, until a future day. The condo& of the persons who doused this man to be taken into cus tody; will, we trust, convince these diSseminatori of sedition and disaffedion, that it is not safe at all times to give vencto their galled minds in the company of the poor, but industrious parts of so ciety, AiVIERICA: ivrat-t_oßk, 4rii. 9; otir Minister Exttanrdinaty to i , "ranceand Spain, left Richmond - ,the 28th ult: for this City, wh ere he will embark for France.

" Being present this morning at the Intendant's Office, when the original of the following Royal Order was transcribed, I seized the opportunity of procuring a copy, and have translated it in a hurry, under the hope that it will be acceptable to you. " The Minister of War has communicated to me the fol- lowing—" In a letter of the wit inst. Don .Ps.DR 0 CZV AL- Los informs me as follows : Whereas His Majesty has ceded to the French Republic the Colony or' Province of Louisiana, in all its present extent, and as it was held by the French, when ceded to His Majesty, 1 advise you thereof, by his royal order, that you make the ne cessary - arrangements for the delivery of it to the French Commissioner or Commissioners, who being duly authorized by the Government, may present themselves for the pur. pose. Which royal determination I have made known to the CaprainXeneral of Louisiana, intorming him at the same tune, that .it is His Majesty's pleasure, with rasped to the Regiment of the place, and the Military that garrison the province, that individuals who voluntarily wish to remain under His Majesty's dominion, shall, after delivering up the Colony ' proceed to the Havanna, where other posts will be allotted them. Of this I advise you by Royal Order,. that you may comply with that part or' his Royal Deterinination which relates to you .% God preserve you many years. " SOLER, • • 4, Minister of Foreign. Affairs. " To the Intendant of Louisiona, " Madrid, July 10, 11102." In addition to the above we can state, on the an thority of a Gentleman who left Paris on the gth of OEtober, that the Cession was universally there known to have taken place; that Companies formed for the purpose had purchased large trals of land in the territory, of the French Government, and had opened subscription-books at various places in Paris, to obtain purchasers who were to embark for, and become Settlers in the territory. On Wednesday, Jan. 26, Arax. AolmoN, Esq. was found guilty by the Senate of the State of Pennsylvania, of the charge' presented against him by the House of Representatives. Twenty votes were given for declaring, him guilty, and four not guilty. The following is the Sentence pronounced against him by the Speaker of the House of Representatives on the succeeding day, viz. " That ALKXANDER Apaisqx. President of the several Courts of COUITTIOr% Pleas, in the fifth District of this State, shall be, and he hereby is rernove&from his.oftice,of Presi. dent aforesaid", artd :Also is disqualified to hold and exercise the office of Judge in any Court of I.4w.within the Common wealth of Pennsylvania." A singular robbery was committed between eight and nine o'clock on Saturday night, On' the South side of Berkely-square. M. Os Boattig,..rettirning to his house in Mount-strev,, had . just turned the corner a Flay-hill, -when a man came running up to him, .exclaiming, " An elderly Gentleman has just fallen down in a fi r ; pray, Sir, assist me in getting my master to a coach." Mr. 02111ORN.E immediately crossed to the spot where this old Gen 'lemma was supposed to be, struggling, when he saw a man lying on the ground near the iron :ailing that encloses the grass plot; on the instant of his coin. ing up with the man, the first who had addressed him demanded his money,;. the other immediately jumped up, and with dreadful menaces seconded the demand, and sobbed Mr. OSSORNE 4)f his watch; a one.pound note, two seven-shilling pieces, and some silver with Which the villains got clear off. Friday night, an inquest was held an the Fox, in Wardonr-street, on the body of Dararit Lovell, other wise aeorge Mango, who was found dead on Sun. day morning last, at the centher of Nuel.street and Wardour-street. It appeared in evidence, that the deceased, who was 'a man of colour, had pro cured his livelihood, for many years, in the' streets of London as an itinerant tinker. He went into 'the Crown, in Oxford -street, on Friday morning, whete he was served with a haunt of tea and a but. tered roll. He returned in the evening to the same house; and had a pint of beer; about eleven o'clock the same evening, he was discovered by the watch men in Watdour-srreet, sitting under a door. w 4 y, where Andrew 'Pollock, a watchman, find. ing him, insisted on his leaving that place, and forcibly 'dragged him to the opposite side of of the street; which is St. Ann's Parish, where he left him. The watchthen helongitig to St. Ames, finding the wretched being lying on a door-way on their bear, forced him back to the side of the street in St. James's Parish, where Ire remained, till Pollock returning.to cry the hour, asked him, "\V#tat he did there- a second time, after he had driven' him 'away ?" when the deceased exclaimed, " O God, I am dying !" " Then (re plied the watchman) you shall not die here : you must do that somewhere else." The deceased an. swered, "I am not able to stir—a am a dying man P' "'I care not," said the watchman, and then either dragged or carried him a second time to the oppo site side of 'the street. At seven o'clock he was found dead on the Sr, James's side. The Jury returned the following verdia :—" It is not proved in evidence that the deceased did affinity die otherwise than a natural death; but it is very clearly proved,. that Andrew Pollock, the 'Watchman on duty' in Wardour-street on Sunday night last, has been highly negligent of his duty, by omitting 'to take that care of the deceased which he was bound to do, and 'by such omission, the said Jury is clearly of opinion, the deceased lust his life." On Friday night, between nine and en o'clock, a young lad, who was to perform the office of Page at Drury.lane Theatre, by some mismanagement of the springs, fell'down a trap-door. His thigh was broke, and be was Wiled immediately to an has. pita, DYliT}'w Lath Mt. Cdor tit, Who has distiliciisighei his talorif on the American Stage, appeared last' night at rhti Thegrh in the eharaßer of Ifaiiiht. This Pet-,t former possesses a voice that is r).verftil and welt 4 toned, but, as far as we could judge last night; nui capable of etpressing a variety of emotions: His figure is manly, arid his afticM expressive, it not graceful. His general conception of ibis ~iifit: .cult part appeared on the whole to be correa, but lie was too elaborate in the detail. He was r;!tiwe declamatory than tender, and somewhat WO boisce.. roes in his utterance. .~ in the chief scene with bfibelici; he did not cod:. duEt hittiself with the harsh - severity which ik gene.: rally adopted, anti which .seertts to be inconsistent' with the regard Ham ld entertains for her, norwith.: standing the aff.Ete4 levity restiltink from hi3'inten, Lion to deceive the Court with an assumption of mad. ness. . , In the delivery of all the soliluquics, Mr. Co dr g displayed judgment, and a philosophic spirit "Cori.. genial with the elevated refiedions of the parr: , •. . . He was much too .long in his pauses, but these pauses seemed' to be the result of, intelligence. Upon the whole, if Mr. Coot' Elk's performance dia not fully embOdy the expelation of critical precision, ii was altogether an exhibition of no ordinary degree of merit. He delivered the. Address to the Player in an tin:. der-tone that was naeural and impressive ; and in the closet acne he was very animated and strikingi He was feceived with great applause hy a numerous audience, and is certainly entitled to a.high lion on the London Stage.
