It is dated April 17 : 41 On the 9th ins% we were near getting one or two of the Enemy's Ships. Close off Toulon, the 47i.zeizatz Frigate, Capt. PARKER, took a Brig, laden w ith Corn, almost within shot of three frigates and the batteries. This so provoked them, that 'four or ,ve frizates and one line of battle ship, came just clear of the' Sepete ; but the Doregall, Sir RICHARD vi3e4r4CIIATI, and tw o or three more of our ships, the Enemy wou!:1 not risk any farther attempt being to retake - • , prize. three more Fr ench . s However, Lhips of-ihe Line got under weigh, but all went back before (I,llk. Three of ti:tir Frigates were v 61 14 ‘hot Of the 4 imaz.,:77;, but did nut fire, Capt. rARVES. trek the Br3g in a very handscme tnlCiner, and deserves great e,redit for the steady . e onntenanee which he shewid when th e Enemy's Ships out.. All who know Sir RI CHARD S TRACt iti,N, readily conceive his disappointm ent at being ex prived of the promished shooting party ; for which I need hardly say he was very anxious. There is not a sick man in the Fleet. The Commander in Chief, indeed, cTmplains of his eyes, and has a cough ; but he is otherwise in good health." The Prospero Bomb, which had been sent to destroy the Gun boats driven into a creek off Cher bourg, on Sunday se'nnight, by the Tribune, re turned to Portsmouth on Frilly, without success; it having been ascertained that no effetlual attempt could be made upon them, in consequence of their formidable position in a crescent, coveted by heavy batteries on shore, and a number of bombs in their van. The remainder of our Squadron, however, remained to watch their motions. The Hawke Cutter, ten days since, being about 30 miles up the Weser, pickc.d up a man belonging to the Constance Frigate, who; with seven others had been made prisoners in attempting to cut out an Enemy's Ship laden with stores. The information which he gave, inducing Lieut. GRANT to suppose that the enterprize might still be attempted, he took this man and eleven•of his own people, and set off in a boat at midnight ; they carried the Vessel, we understand ; but from some cause of which we are uninformed, they were obliged to surrender both their Prize and themselves. On the 3d inst. two large French Gon.vessels came out of Dieppe, and steered for Seaford. • The Signal Officer knowing the cut of their sails, made the Meg.-ra and Alonzo Frigates signal to chase them, which was obeyed ,with alacrity, but it com ing on a thick fog, in a few huurs after, they got off. At a Committee of the Governors of the Naval Asylum, held on the 3oth of May, His Royal High_. ness the DUKE of CUMBERLAND, in the Chair, it was resolved, that a Deputation of the Committee should wait on the Right Hon. Lord MELVILLE, First Lord of the Admiralty, to solicit his Lord ship's proteEtion for this Institution. A Dquta tion, consisting of Sir J. CoLpoys, K.,8. one of the Lords of the Admiralty, the Rev. Dr. CLARKE, ABM. GOLDSMrD, WM. MARSH, and ED. ALLEN, Esqrs. waited accordingly ,on Lord MELVILLE, and were received with a reception highly flattering to the cause in which they were engaged. His Lord, ship was pleased to assure the Gentlemen, that the Institution should have . every iniuence and support in his power. THE OPERA.--II Triotfo dell. AM9r Frateruo, supported by Mrs. BILLINGTON anti BRAHAM, was the attraaion at the King's Theatre on Saturday last, and entirely filled the House. They both exerted themselves'most ably, and engaged in an emulative contest which afforded much pleasure to the audience. Mrs. BILL INGTON'S imitation of BamrAm's style in the chid between them in the se_ cond att was very successful. This duet was encored, and so was the delightful terzetto in the first att. In the fo rmer p i ece t h e strugg l e was ar d uous an d brilliant. Never perhaps was before heard such a number of rapid divisions so finely executed, since the human voice was, known to be capable of such powers,. Mrs. BILLINGTON, though .thus laudably anxious to please, is by no means entirely recovered. Neither DES HAyEs nor his wife appeared. A printed bill apologized for the former, alledging that he had hurt his leg. PAR ISOT is quite recovered. She and LABoatE were the main props of I rza. The per formances did not conclude till near half - after twelve. The Comedy of Speed the Plough was represent ed on Saturday last at Covent.Gar&n Theatre, with some change in the performance. EMERY. took the part of Farmer Ashfield, left vacant by the retirement of KNIGHT. He performed the part with rustic fidelity and humour, but not quite in so mellow a style as his predecessor. KLANERT played Henry, aud Mrs. HUM'HRIES Miss Island. ford. They acquitted themselves better than we expected, but not in such a manner as to deserve much praise. After the Play, a Dance, called The Woodman gave scope to the talents of Dußois, who danced a hornpipe, t/iadfc/ei, amidst a dozen eggs, with great skill. Miss BENSON, the daughter of the Vridow BENSON, made her first appearance in this dance, and displayed simple grace and agility. Mrs. MOUNTAIN is announced at the Peterbo. rough Theatre, for a performante, a la Incletlort, entitled the Lyric Novelist, or Life Epitomized. The airs and recitations are written by CHERR Y, the Alor, and are to be sung and recited wholly by Mrs. MOUNTAIN. Her husband with his violin, and Woo DHANi, on the piano -forte, accompany thi s harmonic expedition. The Music, which is entirely new, is composed by DAvy . MATH E WS, of the Haymarket Theatre, h, it is said, likely to succeed MUNDEN at Covent. Garden. MATHEWS will certainly not equal his Predecessor in some parts, such as old men, but as a general Aftor lie will be much superior. Indeed we quel. Lion whether any body on the Stage could play the part of Old iri gg i,s so %VCII as MATH EWS. Mrs. SIDDONS does not mean to perform on any provincial stage during the Summer, but in visits to some of her friends in the country will, we hope, lay in a stock of health for the winter campaign. KEMBLE sets off on his theatrical trip to Ireland in about three weeks, upon a very promising engage ment. It is said, that the real cause %illy a certain Dancer did not appear on Saturday night at the Opera, was founded in his unreasonable dethand of a higher salary ! ! Such is ()lien the case with ar ,rog,ant Foreigners, when they think they are fa.. vouches with the Public, and that John Bull will bear a little more 19 , :'teezing. The hurt in his le g tvas, indeed, but a lame excuse for the absence of his wife also, unless, poor soul, her conjugal concern would not permit her to attend to her public duty. The appearance of Mr. THELLussoN's lawn at sunrise, with t h e various Nlasq uera d ers dispersed over it, formed so beautiful and piduresque a sight, that it might furnish ample scope fo r th e pe nc il () lan Artist who has skill enough to blend charaticr and landscape. For the honour of taste And good sense, hOWCVcr, lie should omit the EDINBURGH, just 7; IN, the eyenib i g.of His Majesty's Birtlt.d an entertaitireent in the usual style of liberality and elegance, was given by the Lard Provost and Magistra•f!s, in the Parliament House, where a grtar. vinnher of the first charaEters in the Coun try attended. After the Lord Provost had given a variety of extremely appropriate Toasts, His Grace the Lord Lieutenant of the County pro posed the health of " Earl MOIRA, out brave and illustrious Commander in Chief—Long may we have amongst us an Officer who has added so much to our security, and under whose command all descriptions of military men ih this Country have so much confidence." Earl Mot►tA replied, with great animation, near. ly to this effed: " Gentlemen, The feelings of my hOrt will not permit me to receive in silence the flattering compliment which has now been paid to Me by the Noble Duke. I only beg leave to set his race right in one particular. That which his Grace has been pita'sed to ascribe to my, exertions,' Scotland has done for herself. On my arrival here, I found every thing already done which could be effeEted by native courage, by unity of spirit, and by discipline. All that remained for me was, to appteciate and report to Government the high charatiel• of the Troops under my command, and to dire .their operations when they shall- he re quired. I am certain I have not over-rated their merits. I again declare my perfed confidence in these troops, arid my convi&ion, that if ever the day shall arrive when the Enemy shall dare to - put his threats into ekecution, he will only afford them a fresh opportunity of justifying the charader which they now enjoy. I► will be an arduous, a rough 'day ; but tvtether I survive it or not, it will be a day more glorioui for Scotland than any that stands recorded in any period of her history." _ . /At a later period of the evening, the Earl of ➢AL. ICE ITH addressed the Chair " MY LORD PROVOST, " I confess that the Toast which I shall have the honour of proposing to you, has peen s in a great mea sure forestalled ; for much has already been said of patriotism, much of spirit, much of honour ; senti." tricots indeed likely to rise in tiv;t.brcasts of Britons on this auspicious day : but I cannot resist the pre sent opportunity-of giving as aTo " The Yeo manry and 'Volunteers of the three United Kingdoms —may they ever continue .to evince the same spirit and patriotism that have always atluated them ;" such, indeed, as are not to -be found in the ancient records of former ages, nor are now to be met with in the degenerate state of the world, except in these happy isles. The Princes of degraded Europe bend before that haughty Despot, whosp ambition knows no bounds ; but I trust, that as, during the last and present War, our brave Yeomanry and Volun teers-have manfully withstood the insulting threats, and utmost efforts of the masters of. Republican France, under whatever whimsical denomination of Directories or Consulates, so they will not now truckle to the same degraded power, -though deco. rated with the title of Imperial." When the company separated, the populace took the horses from Earl Morß A'S carriage, which con tained also the Doke of BUCCI.EOGH, the Earl of DALKE ITH, and the Logo AnvocATE, and having taken away the horses, they drag fed. the carriage to his Lordship's house in- Quecti-st meet. The carriage was followed with the loudest - acclamations, by an immense concourse of people, who continued to cheer this great and worthy eharaCier, till at last his Lord ship appeared at the window, and thanked them in the most polite and eloquent terms for these distin guished marks of their respel and good will. The crowd then quietly dispersed ; and it is but justice to say, that in the course of our remembrance we have never known the King's Birth-day pass over so perfeetly free from disorder of every description. The evening concluded with a brilliant Assembly, at which were present every person of rank and : fashion in this city and neighbourhood. RICHARD WHARTON', Esq. 13 appointed Comil troller of Excise, in room of the Hon. ARTHUR DUFF, -resigned. At a meeting of friends last week at Stewart town, in Ayrshire, there were four persons present of the same name, who stood in relation of great. grandfather, grah.l.father, father, and son—four generations in the direa line of descendants. The great.grand.father is ab3ve 90 years of age, and in the fullest possession of his mental faculties. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. BRUSSEL.S, MAY 23. --The intelligence of the ap. pointment of NAPOLEON to be E , nperor of the French, was announced to the inhabitants here on the 20th instant, by the ringing of all the bells in t h e ci t y ; and in t he evening many houses were illu. minated. BERLIN. MAY 26.—The ti) , before yesterday a French Courier passed through this City on his way to Sr, Petershurgh. The arrival of the Russian Counsellor VON BAYKOFF, at Paris, and the Note he has given in, has occasioned the mission of this Courier. He carries letters of recall to the FreQch Envoy at the Court of Sr. Petersburgh, General HEDOUVILLP, .who is immediately to return to France. Yesterday His Prussian Majesty went from this City to Stargardt, to review the Troops assembled there. Her - Majesty the Queen, during his ab sence, will remain at Charlotteriburg-. HANOVER, MAY is understood that Ge tieral BERNADOTTE will be appointed to the chief command or the Hanovetian Army, and arrive here very Shortly. General DEssoLLE, who has hitherto held the command iid interim, will then take the coniirtand of the Army of Reserve, and return to Osnabruck. On the 23:1, in the afternoon, General DEsscti.e returne4 hither from Hameln, for which place he had set out the preceding evening. A Letter from Bottiogr:, May- 27, says—" T. F.
