He. had, to be sure, " personal activity" and " alert- - 'less," and be even understood " the management of the Commissariat . ;" but, said they," every ra tional man must be- satisfied, that if Lord WEL LINGTON be our most accomplished Commander, . we have little to expect from the prolongation of the war." We remeniber trying, at the time, to appease their fears, but without success ; we told that " the Nation must be impe netrably blind if they think we can perse vere in this struggle with any possible benefit either to the Spaniards or ourselves.". We ventur ed gently to hint, that the conduct of Spain would afford an example to the rest of Europe, and that the Northern Powers might be roused; but the Morning Chronicle, indignant at the idea of being reasoned out: of its fears, exclaimed " Oh ! but Mr. T.IIOPNTON is gone to the Baltic; hopes are entertained that the Northern Powers may yet be aroused to a lust sense of their danger. Can we rationally hope, that for any prosperous issue to such a scheme, prostrate as Prussia is, and UTTERLY INCOMPETENT a the EMPEROR of RUSSIA is to any VIGOROUS OPERATION OUT of his own COUNTRY, what car\ be hoped for !" When the war in the North began, these' poor Gentlemen were hanoteclwith the same hypochon driacal alarms, and•the symptoms actually conti nued with. Unabated violence till within these few days. Even when • the Allies were 'within a (ew miles of Paris, they could not avoid imparting to' the Public their apprehensions that BUONAPARTE, that great Captain, would make some desperate effort, and punish the Allies for their temerity. The contest, however ; terminated, as Lord GREY say, upon the whole, in the tnostfavonrable man-, ner for the liberties of Europe and the happineskof Great Britain; and we began to hope.that the fears of the Party would have been; if not eradicated, at least hushed for some time, but they have broken out again in a new and most unexpected quarter. (Jur Readers will, we are sure, hardly be lieve us, when we tell them the new cause of alarm. They are actually in terror about the marriage of the Prince of OI jGE and the Princess CHAR LOTTE. " Tile Royal Marriage, (says the Morn ing Chronicle), if without previous securities, would enable the Pairtcx to 'carry our FRUNCEtiS (thy Heir Presumptive .to thz, Crown of these Realms) over to Holland, and keep her there altogether ; for," adds the Writer, with the most sagacious gravity, " the Husband can compel the residence of the Itiife." It is perhaps difficult to remove fears which arefounded upowsuch profound ,Legal and Constitutional knowledge, but we have no doubt that Government will adopt every possible precaution to tranquillize thq perturbed feelings of the Writer, of the Morning Chroaide upon this important subject. - • ANECDOTES OF BUONAP.UTE. When the dethroned Tyrant was asked if he wished to select aoy particular place' for his re treat, he immediately said, that Ile shpuld prefer either England or Elba. • NVe. mentioned, some clays ago. that BtioN•A PARTS told Baron WV.ISSENBERGH that he shhuld amuse himself in his retreat by studying mathe matics, and that he shelved him a book which he had been reading, saying, he had begunhis studies alreadv.• The book I . l . lich he shewed the Baron was Museheroni sur la Geometric du Compas. Lady CASTLEREAGH is now with her Lord in Paris, and receives from the first-rate personages of both sexes the most marked and flattering at tentions. The QUEEN'S house is to be entirely new fur nished, as well as repaired, by the Board of Works ; and it is said her Majesty has offered it to be the residence of the Emperor ALEXANDER, when in London. • The rendezvous for volunteer seamen at Lynn is already broken up, and orders have hien issued for calling in all the recruiting parties for the Royal Marines. The DeVonshize, of 74 guns, at Sheerness, is to be paid off and laid up. The boatmen at Dover demand two guineas for every passenger that they convey across the. water, though the common price was but half-a-guinea during the late peace, and the reason they urge for this exorbitant demand is, that-tbe port ctuties at Calais are so very great. We. understand, that• the Prussian General Count KALS.REUTEI has been appointed Military Governor, and Mr. Hovot. Civil Governor, of the Grand Duchy of Tarsaw, which thus, like Duni zick, appears to.return under tile dominion of the King of Prarssia.

The town of Deal was most brilliantly illumi nated last night, in honour of the late glorious events on the Continent. The illumination's, in particular instances, were very superb ; aufong4 4 them we noticed the mansions of Admirals FOLE Y and SCOTT, the Naval Store-keeper's house, and the residence of Mr. EDWARD IGGULDEN, which . constituted a grand spectacle, the motto " Louis XVIII.. Huzza 1" in variegated lamps, being on 'so large a .scale- as to occupy the whole front. The Banks and, other buildings were appropriately' lighted np.

Then, I pray you to dispatch rue with the same weapon, or dismiss me from your service, for I will not live !mkr such disgrace,"—and he haughtily left the rolm. A Meeting was held on Tuesday, of the Gentle men interested in the French funds prior.to the ac cession of BUONAPART-e. MFJMPEY, who is.one of the largest claimants (as representing the family. of Sir ELI.YAti) was called to the Chair. He stated the progress of the business connected with these claims since the year 1802, . anticomputedthe ex- ' tent of the demands, on English account, at some thing; below 2,000,000/. sterling. In the sequel, it was proposed and agreed, that a subscrip._ tion should be opened to prosecute the cttlito; that a Committee should be, appointed to conduct the business ; thta an A , ..;ent should be resident at Paris, who is to , be rewarded by the proportion of one per cent. on the suns recovered—the remu neration not to exceed ten thousand pounds ;, and further it was (t.:tertnined that a Memorial should be presented to his Majesty, Loins XVIII. in favour of these claimants. This Memorial was prepared and. read : it stated strongly the injus tice of the Government undei• BUONAPARTE, con trasting it wiith the justice'shewn to the French 'holders in the British Funds.

CovrNT-GARDEN.---The indisposition of Mrs. Jorzo.v.c, to whom was allotted the chief character in a new Comedy,, which had been announced at this Theatre, prevCilted its representation till fast night, when it, was brotight„torward, under the title of Debtor and Creditor. The Piece is ascrib ed to Mr. KENNY, the author of some popular farces, and whose genius seems to be chiefly ap propriated to dramas of that description. We re gret to say, that the . Conlcdv . of last night dis played nothing of excellence or novelty, in pint, character, sentiment, or dialogue. ' The' fable, such as it is, is very perplexed, and, with all the attention 'which' we bestowed upbn it, was hardly comprehensible. It certainly excited no interest at all' upOn our feelings, in any part of its pro gress. The chief male ltaraete,/i4s/foid (.IoN RS) is a composition of extravagance, generosity, and meanness. 'He affects to pity distress, yet laughs at' its - supplications, anti is altogether a mass of inconsistencies. The chief female character, Bartarct (Mrs. Jorw)AN)', has a thousand archetypes, and the rest of the parts are the common inhabitants of the dramatic regions, in the comic province. There were a few attempts 'at wit and humour, but they were violent and abortive ; and all that can be said in favour of the comedy is, that its tendency, amidst all its intricacies, or ather pet plexities, is to ,pure tally .214,1-43:ctdchite ui : rtue, indeed, is the obvious duty- of,a dramatic writer. The scene at the Miiliner'§, however, is offensive, without being novel, and ought to be Omitted.— The piece was: throughout well supported, par ticularly by JONES,.TERRY,, EMERY, LISTON, BLANCHARD, -and 'Mrs: JORDAN. The amlienee heard it with good temper, and even kindness, and readily sanctioned its repetition this evening, without any observable dissent.—The Prologue was spoken by Mr. TERRY, and a dialogue Epi logue W:AS delivered by LISTON and EMCRY.--• They were both but indifferent compositions. ictoF..—Last .night, Mr. HANCOCK, butler . to the Right Ilon. CHAS.ARBUTHNOT, put a period to his life, in the house of that Gentleman, in Downing-street: - It is said that he had been drinking, and hall shewn signs of a flighty state of mind during the afternoon. He had invited his %vile, who was in another service, , hisehildren, and other relations, to tea with him.. ,Pe left them for a moment, anti went Tato the Servan:s• Hall, where he committed the rash action with an over-loaded blunderbuss, which sprung to a dis tance from the spot. The noise of the discharge brought the servants instantly to the dace, where he was found dead and much disfigured. Unhappily Mrs. ARBUtIINOT was in the house at the time, and was much agitated by the repast and the screams which were uttered on the occasion. Mr. A P.- BLITHI3OT, however, immediately led her into Mr. VANSITTAUT'S, the house adjoining. Tlig u:y were tdsit on the body this day at one o'clock.
