Next week the French Ambassador, the Coun sellor of State, CHAMPAGNY, will have his audience of entry of His IMPERIAL MAJESTY. To-morrow the Spanish Ambassador leaves this City to go to Pisa.

SeyEltAL families of distin6tion have- arrived hero from Naples, on account . oche distUrbances in that City : .other ieMoved to Palermo, in Sicily. A Chief of the name. of MAMMONE is- at the head of the malcontents he is at .present on the boundaries between the Roinan and Neapolitan Ter ritories, and appears determined to give battle to the troops sent against him. In the Island of Sardinia there are likewise simi iar disturbances. A man of the name of MEMM IA, in the northern part of that Island has put himself at the head- of a great multitude of people, among whom he distributes honours and ,privileges. He defies the troops, and all the measures taken against hint by Government, sets a price on the heads of those who oppose him, promises liberty and-friend ship to these who offer no resistance, makes priso ners, and levies Money,• and all this without being able to write or read: •if every thing is true that, is reported of these two fellows,' MAMMONE and MEMMIA, they appear to mean to aft in their seve ral Countries the part of PASWAN OoLir. Their reign, however, will probably be very short. ITALY, SEPT. x 8: ACCORDING to some Accounts from Naples, new differences and disputes haVe arisen there about the beginning of this. month, in couseqnence of the behaviour of the French, who in their turn com plain of having been insulted. The-French troops in the Neapolitan territory, though they were said to be 16,000 men, only amounted to 9000. in the beginning of September ; it is said, however that they will be reinforced with 24 ) 000 men, who will take possession of all the pots. We ;are also -assured that- i 6,000 'stand of arms will be sent thither. The public debt of Etruria is now estimated at more , than rho millions of Florentine li/vres, (about 13 of which make a ducat). Of the 4.000 French Troops which still remain in TuScany, the greater part is destined for the Garrison of Leghorn. The French Minister, General CLARK, has ar rived at Florence. ;.• _ _ According to some accounts; six Neapolitan feluccas, and. a Greek ship with 6,000 sacks of corn for the French Troops on the Island of Elba, have put into Porto Lgsone. BERN, SLYT. 23. AFTER many debates, the Helvetic Government has come, to an agreement with the French General, MoNcHotsi, relative to the guarding of the City of _Bern. It is settled that Guard shall be mounted alternately, one day by the Helvetic, and the next by the French Troops. There are to be two sets of keys to the gates, one to be kept by the French, and the other by the Helvetic Commandant, On the z Ist the Committee appointed to consi der the Plan of a new Constitution for Helvetia, gave in its Report accompanied by a letter from Citizen ZIMMERMAN, in the name of the Commit tee, stating the grounds on which the Committee had aaed. This Report has not yet' been taken into consideration ; the discussion of it is fixed to begin on the zsth inst. The French General, MONCY, who is coming from Milan, passed through Lugano and Besancon on the 14th inst. It is believed that he will soap return to Italy and take the chief command of the Army there. The motions of the French and Swiss Troops still continue. We are assured that the latter will take possession of the Frickthal. LEGHORN, SETT. t 3. IT is reported here to-day that the French be sieging corps before Porto Ferrfijo has been obliged to retire to Porto Longone (likewise on the Island of Elbe) for want of provisions, and consequently that the siege is raised. THE ILLUMINATIONS. THE whole of London- exhibited on Saturday night a strong proof cif public joy, on the Ratirica tivn of the Preliminaries. Every house was illumin ated, not only in the principal streets, but in the lanes, courts and alleys. Beginning with the City, the most splendid, as far as its -situation would permit, was ; ,the Post. Office. .On this and the Secretary's House, there were no .less than 6000 lamps ' dis.: posed with as much taste as the irregularity of the bitilding would admit. The East India House bad,.'between the columns in the front, the ward Peace in large letters. • The Mansion-honse made but a gloomy appear ance ;—G. R. was suspended in the centre, but one half the letter R was broken, and the columns were decorated with spiral lamps. The Bank had a double row of candles only in the front. The. Phcenix. Fire-office had a transparency re presenting a portrait of His Majesty, with the words " Peace and Plenty." M. OTTO'S house, at the corner_ of Hereford street, Oxford -street, from its peculiar situation, piesents three. sides to view ;—on the North was - displayed a large letter P. in a circular wreath ; on the West, was a large transparent inscription of " Peace and universal Happiness," with a Civic Crown in the midst; under this, and extending tong the entire front, was a double festoon .of lights ;- from the bow . .at the top of which 'rose the ,tem of an olive tree, which, twisting in various shapes, shot out at its extremity a single green branch '; the drops of the festoon terminated at the North side of the, hall door, in the letters G. R. ; and on the South, - in F. R. ; the South. front was ejnblazoned with 'a star, composed of white, red, and blue lights, besides several smaller compartments of lights. - • Mr. HOPE'S, in Harley-street, made a very grand appearance, the word Peace in very large letters, over ' it an anchor, and the letter H. in lamps ; round the pillars of the portico were placed variegated lamps, entwined with wreaths of laurel ; the whole form ing a most pleasing and splendid display. • • Covent Garden Theatre was most superb. The word Peace extended along the front of the portico. AbOve it was the Royal cypher, and the whole sur mounted by the Imperial Crown between two wreaths of laurel. .From these descended on each side a festoon to an oval tablet, rising from a trun cated pyramid placed over each extremity of the letters. The_ festoons, covered with , silver leaf, which being in small pieces,' and stuck each only by. one extremity, with all the rest moveable in' the air, produced from the lamps hung before them a con tinual scintillation, ; and might almost be termed a galaxy. The tablets and their pedestals were de corated in like manner, but with gilt leaf, and the colours Of the lamps were appropriate to that of the metal behind them. Dtary-Lani had the word Peace surmounted by a crown, with . the same kind of refleaor as at Covent Garden. Mr. Okiarr i coach.maker, had a very large and beautiful device in three compartment.. The cen. tre represented Britannia receiving the glad tidings from Mercury, who' points to a ship ander sail, whence he is supposed .to bring them ; at. her feet sits a figure of Peace, employed in making a fire of spears, to convert their iron to plough.shares. The Admiralty, beside a range of lights along the curtain wall, had over the main arch the Crown and Anchor, and flambeaux- on the. pediment.. The Public will no - doubt be gratified with a de scription of the superb Transparency which has been, so much talked of, painted - by the celebrated Artist, Mr. ORIVIEi- of Bond -street, whose exer tions are 'always conspicuous on public occasions, but never more so than on this glorious event of Peace, which, we trust, will add new life to the drooping pencils of the Artists.—The figures of this piece were as large as life, and highly animated with the sentiment ofe:the moment. The subjed was ex pressive of Britannia unarmed crowned with Ho nour, dispening the same - to her Sons, who were dressed in naval and military uniforms, joined hand in hand, suppOrting the palm of Peace and Yiadry, and treading . under foot .the instru ments of War and Destruaion. Britannia had in her left - hand the Horn of Plenty, and at, her side the Union, Shield; at the other side the Lion at ease, and one of her bulwarks, a Ship of War, with 'the Union Flag and sails furled, &c.. emblematical •of Commerce, Strength, and Security. The motto at the top was, Britannia dispensing to her Sons, Honour, Peace, and Plenty: . The concourse of people in the streets was im mense in the early part of the night : but the vio lent storm of thunder, lightning, and rain, between ten and eleven o'clock, soon dispersed them, and threw a momentary damp upon the general joy. Mrs. Trionctss, who was so long known to the Public as an Aftress, at Drury-Lane Theatre, died last week at Bath. She had reached her seventieth year, and enjoyed a very good state of health till a few months before she paid the common debt to Nature. As an AClress, she always acquitted her self with good sense and judgment, and supported the parts she performed with a proper adherence to the qualities and manners of human beings, without any grimace, or aireflation, exhibiting a correct, if not a luxuriant representation of CharaCter. In private life, her conduCt was highly respeftable and meritorious, and she uniformly performed and warmly felt the duties of a good wife, and a good mother. The next piece in which Mrs. BILL INGTO is to display her powers, is The Duenna, which is said to be revived, for that purpose, ar both Theatres. - The new Opera from the pen of Mr. COB B is taken from VOLTAIRE'S celebrated Romance of Zadig,, the title of which is to be the name of the Piece. The author is so much esteemed by his friends and. the Public, that every liberal mind must feel a strong interest in his success. The music is composed by MAzziNGH I, and the Piece is to, have the powerful aid ollVlrs. BILL UNGTON'S unrivalled talents. , ANNIPERSARY OF MR. YOX's ELECTION, ~ SATURDAY being the Amliversary of Mr. V , oz's first Eledion for Westminster, •was ,celebrated, as usual, .by a Dinner. 'The Meeting took place at' the Crown and Anchdr, - , and 'was nuinerously 4t tended. Mr. Fox, as• usual, entered into am invective • against•the late - . Ministers, and did. not forget- to insist on his otvn-popularity, .and the •sunport he received from his constttucnts. For once, how ever, he agreed in opinion with those who .wish well to their country, and he joined in the general congratulations upon` a Peace: With the:ie, how_ ever, he ,mingled, -of course, his Own opinions ; and though it is highly probable that Mr. PITT and himself may be found on the same site in the dis cussion of the question, he clamoured against the late Administration as loudly as if they had op_ posed the blessing to which by their Well planned and successful measures they so happily paved the way. .11e said, ,!‘• that he . sincerely congratulated the country on tlie katificationof the Preiiminaries of Peace. The War was radically bad, and the Peace, such as it wa's,he Wwald maintain, was an event that should inspipe a genZral s.ritiment of ap probation. It wa4 in his wind, a good Peace, be_ cause we lost the -objeta for which we were con.. tending ? namely, that of .trenching ,upon, and. an- Ahilating, the universal Rights of Mankind. The late Ministry never would have made a Peace, tind_ the present• Ministers were entitled to the gratitude c;Pf . the Country for having 'restored tranquillity. -It was not then necessary . to Canvas thee - items of the Treaty ; bUt he.would say, that the giving. up of an IsLind was not.equal even to one. hour's 'confliCt. He - had rejoiced at,.the late change of Administra tion, on the groutid that it would tend to, the acce leration of Peace, though he was free to. confess, that his hopes upon that, subjefthad not been very sanguine." Mr. Fox then entered into - a variety of 'topics, in the course of ,a, speech _which _l stet . about half an hour. • This meeting may be -considered of great im. parlance, as it has, -of course, decided the tone which the Oppoitiori Papers Will now 'take. Mr. ADDINGTON will, we may' conceive, henceforlll be spared, and Mr. PITT dOGIIICCI to bear the load of Opposition abuse. , TEE THEATRE. Drug-LaAy. THE Opera of Artaxerxes introduced Mrs. 1311.- I,mo-cox to the Public for the second time at.this Theatre on Saturday last, and her powerful talents again attracts ed a very numerous audience. We have already•borne so zealous a testimony in favour of her great vocal. powers, that we can only repeat our praises but such is the force and variety of her excellence, that those praises fall very far short of her desert. . The admiration of the Audience would not be satisfied without a repetition_ of " If o'er the cruel, tyrant . Love;" " Let not rage," and " The Soi dier. tied," all of which she gave with her peculiar skill, and with many touches of fascinating novelty. • Mri. Ma.tINTAIN is so much improved, and sings so well, .that we regret any occasion which may induce us to lessen our tribute of praise.'She gave every Air with great abilitS , , except the Air in which she. was encored. There is a beautiful simplicity in ¶' Water parted," and the Performer cannot too • chastely adhere to the Composition. Mrs. MOUNTAIN,' however, gave it •too many ern. .4ellishilients,' and particularly' on , the repetition, which - frittered away all the original simplicity of the music. But It the whole of the Airs, and the Recitatives, she displayed Considerable merit, and very justly obtained the warm applause of the Audience. KELLY was, as usual very animated in Artabanes. His " Thy Father, away,P -was given with strong impression. .Mrs. BLAND exerted her sweet voice yery.suecessfully in • Semira„ DI,GNUM possesses a good voice, but his slOw and - larigui4 style of sing_ ing sometimes operates. as a wrr9t;c. We never heard "Fair Semira" so dismally droned, though we were sorry that some of the Audience gave audible tokens of disapprobation. Mrs. BI LL I NGTON supg her bravura with pro digious execution. The Opera, in point of scenery, dresses, and de coration, is brought forward in a style of splen dour very creditable to the Theatre ; but we are afraid, that even with the powerful support of Mrs. BILL ING'TON, honest John Bull will soon be. anxi ous- to hear her delightful strains in. some Drama better suited to the general taste of his Country. At the end of the Opera a ludicrous .scene took place. The Audience, animated by a spirit of loyal ty, which was peculiarly called forth by the cheer ing restorative of PEACE, called for " God save the King," and " Rule Britannia." The curtain was soon drawn up, and SE DOW ICE, as a British 'Far, came forward to sing the latter air, accom panied by the subordinate singers of the - Theatre. As soon as he began, some voices called for KELLY. .This demand was 'opposed by others, exclaiming, "go on." KELLY soOn after appeared, but/oiling himself as he entered, - having just thrown off his magnificent garb as Prime Minister of Persia. Soon after he took part in the song, DIG:NiI:NI ap peared in the same state of unadjusted attire. Then followed Mrs. MOUNTAIN, and after her came Mrs. BLAND. This gradual .augmentation of the vocal corps, operated strongly upon the risible f'elings of the Audience ; but their humorous emotions soon subsided in patriotic sympathy and applauses. The importation of Grain during the last week, amounted to 19,150 quarters of Wheat ; 7230 of Oats, and 3280 cwt. of Flour. The Bounties-on the importation of Grain, which expired on the Ist inst. have been continued to the 16th inst.
