He will, we understand, after having :chanp , ,ed the Ratification with the Danish lli ~''~''ry..proceed immediately to join the CROWN 4 ~iHcc, wherever his Royal Highness may be. Ire have great .satiSraction in confirming the report, mentioned in our Harwich letter, of the t , t 4 ing of the very important city and fortress of 4 / I ) is-le-Duc. or Hertogenbosch, one of the strong -3t Places in Dutch Brabant, of which province, /%101 the exception of Bergen-op-Zoom, it gives t he Allies the entire possession. The value Of tlie conquest is also increased at this mom nt, .bY the facility and protection its_ occupation af to the communications between the left of G ejheral Btit.otv and the Allied forces under WIN- I ,,, 4 'Gr.nonz, and the right of Marshal BLUCHER. li e following ale the particulars :--- r NA the E x traordinary - 'Netherland States Courant of 28th %January, 18144 "' HAGUE, JAN. 28:--ffs Royal Highness bas re ceived the impoltant intelifgence of the town 111 0 fortress of Hertogenbosch being taken from the enemy. t, After General Von nuLow had considerably reinforced the troops, which for Some time past }1(1 blockaded the place, an attack was made on t he town, and the' French Commandant found h imself under the necessity of retreating from it. °Li this occasion the inhabitant§ attacked the Prench garrison, and we r e active in forwarding the entry of the Prussian troopS their zeal on This occasion is highly praised by General Vot 1/u Low.

Hertogen- N,,, by this twice repeated aszurance that no thp - fierlander •wlll evade any sacrifice or danger te n the interest—when the national interest or te Plltzttion and independance is concerned." 4, It appears, from the following communication, the American Government have indeed had ttC o Ilrse k• to their grand measure, an Embargo.— e 't So ; we wish them all manner of good of it, ar id ° 1 )ly hope that the British cruizcrs will look to it being strictly enforced : " LLOYD'S, FRIDAY, Feb. 4, - 1814. cc Offici a l information has been received from A - ‘ 111 e• lica ' that an Embargo was laid on, the 1 7th 4jae last, 'to continne for twelve months." . It Is, however, said that a great many Amer-- t a ' 11 • 'hips had endeavoured to escape the restric • on their sailing, but most of them had been i'lltur ed by our cruizers, and the Dragon, 0f.74 Cm otinnodore BARRIE, had bAn extremely c .. 4 01 . 4 "Inate in Meeting with these fugitives.

LEONARD, being the elder Officer, commanded • it or mote. The 'latest Naval intelligence received at the .I,lwiraltv mentions, that the President, and two other American frigates, have been sent to sea. — The Congress had returned to port, but not the Essex, as was reported. Our squadron was look ing- sharp after her, having recaptured four of her South Sea prizes, and live very valuable American wha&i.s. The Morning Chronicle swears that its celebrat ed letter was genuine, and did come from Paris, and as a proof, asserts that it bas :he original, written in German, by a Gentleman of known character !` It also swears ; that its subst a nce wa s • never ; communicated to any one, which is rather bold, seeing that its substance, with the except' tion of the Meagre anecdote about the devil shots, was in fact published in every Paper in Lon don, on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, in the conzmon way of extracts from the Moniteur. It is certainly true, moreover, .that a Lady lately from France, offered similar communications -to more than one Newspaper, which were refused, be cause the Editors thought, that even were they true, their promulgation could st•arcely redound to their honour, or . promote the interests of the country. It is, therefore, not the case in this as in most other instances, that " there ip no ill luck stirring. but . what lights o' the Chronicle' si s'hotilders," for we had all a touch of it, and the k.lown character of its authors only secured its'rejection as a base invention to serve the cause of the Corsican. We should like to know if Sir HUMPHREY DAVY can write German—if Lady \V ---E can speak it —or if any collector of marvels for the Chronicle knows any one'in the City capable of manufactur ing an epistle, in so learned a language ? As We yesterday promised, our columns •viii this day be found to contain a variety of intelli gence from India, together with an. Obituary, &c. to the beginning of August. • Still-no news from the Continent. It was yesterday repoited, we know not with what truth, that BUONAPAETE had sent orders to SI/CHET to evacuate Catalonia, and move with all speed upon Lyons, which the latter accordingly undertook to do ; but the Allies, aware of his. in tentionF,• prevented him by marching in force up on that city, into which they entered with the good wishes of the inhabitants, and after a very slight and ineffectual opposition by AUGEREAT; The dispatches brought by the officer on Wed nesday evening from America were forwarded by Mr. CROKER to the PRINCE REGENT, at Carlton house. • Lords LIVERPOOT, and SIDMOUTH waited upon the PRINCE REGENT yesterday, at Carlton-house. Yesterday at three o'clock, a Cabinet Couucil was held at the Foreign Pellet, which was SUM moneil in consequence of the arrival of the dis patches brought by Lieutenant PoosoN on Wed nesday evening front Amerca. It was attended .by -fill the Cabinet Ministers except the LORD CHANCELLOR, who is still confined with the gout. The Council sat but a very short time—it was up in less than half aryliour. Yesterday the Earl of HARROWBY, As Lord Pre sident of the Council, gave the annual grand dinner, called the Sheriff's dinner, being previous to their being pricked for in Council, which was attended by all the Cabinet Ministers. All 'the distinguished guests who were present on the oc casion, appeared in full Court dresses.. The Earls bf WESTMORLAND and MULGRAVE, and Mr. B. P. BATHURST, arrived in town yester day morning. Counter orders were .issued on Tuesday to the detachMents belonging to the regiments serving in India, whose departure for that part of our empire was suspended a short time since, with the intention of sending them to reinforce Sir T. GRA HAM'', in Holland: These detachments ;ire there fore now to embark for India, according to their original destination. On Friday a detachment of the 95th, - or rifle corps, marched into Lewes from Shorn Chile, and the next morning proceeded on to Portsmouth, there to embark to j oin Lord WELLINGTON'S army. 0 - d,Satarday last passed through Chichester, on their march to ; join Lord WELLINGTON, a•strong detachment of the 51st Light Infantry Regiment, with two Officers, under the command of. Lieut. W. H. HARE. Extract of a letter from an officer on board Majesty's ship' Albion, off t Na.ntucket, Dec. 11, 1813 :—" We have this moment fallen in with a Russian ship from Rhode Island, bound to Liver pobl; and from thence to Gottenburgh ; her inas terstates the information, that Commodore ROD GERS sailed from Newport last Saturday evening, after having laid an embargo on all the outward bound vessels the fire days preceding. She con trived to elude the vigilance of our cruisers on this sration, which is extraordinary, as we have seen, and spoken with, in this week, his Majesty's ships Ramilics, Loire, and Orpheus ; and there are smaller vessels cruising in shore." On Saturday last, a fisherman's boy, of the name of CARTER, itratnionsly ventured at low water, on a large sheet of ice, near Westminster bridge, which, from the turning of the tide and the thaw, suddenly separated from the side, and carried him up the middle of the river towards Miil-bank, where his cries attracted the notice of a watelMan, who pat off to his 'assistance, and fortunately, by' the application of hisoars, reliev ed hitu from ,his perilous situation. h. r liS bed .yed , at 4 1 . Joi r , a CC' , lot - ioO ottl h ; tow' grit ' uof l 05Cg LORD BYRON and the MORNING CHRON. .That poetical Peer, Lord BYRON; knowing full well, that any thing insulting to his Prince or in jurious to his country, .would be niost thankfully received and oiblished by the Morning Chronicle; did in: March. 1812, send the following loyal and patriotic lines to that loyal and patriotic Paper, in which of course they appearci. TO A LADY ViIiEPING. , Weep, daughter of a Royal line, • di Sire's disgrace, a realm's deaal/: • Ah! happy! if each tear of thine Could wash a father's fault away! Weep—for thy tears are Virtue's tears— Auspicious to these suffering isles : And be each drOp, iu futtire years, Repaid thee by thy people's smiles ! These lines the Morning, Chronicle,. in the fol lowing paragraph of yesterday, informs us were aimed at the PRINCE REGENT, and addressed to the Princess CHARLOTTE : " The:Courier is indignant at the discovery now made by Lord BYRON, that he was the author of " the Verses to a Young Lady weeping," which were insertod about 'a twelvemonth ago, in The Morning Cla ()nide. The Editor thinks it audaci ous in a hereditary Counsellor of the King to a& monish the Heir Apparent. It may not be court ly, but •it is certainly British, and we wish the kingdom had nictre such honest advisers." No wonder the Courier, and every loyal man, should . be indignant at the discovery (made by the republication of these worthless lines, in the Noble Lord's new Volume), that this gross in sult came from the pen of '' a hereditary Coun sellor of the KING!" No wonder every good subject' should execrate this novel mid disgrace- • ful mode of " admonishing • the. Heir Appa rent," which is further from being British than it is from being Courtly ; for, from Courtier baseness may be expected, but from a Briton ,no such infamous dereliction of his duty as is •invblved in a malignant, anonymous attack by a Peer of _ the Realm upon the person egercis ing the ,Sovereign Authority of his Country.— But be assertions of Lord BYRON areas false as' they are audaCious. What was the " Sire's Dis grace" to be thus hewept ? He preferred the in ' dependance of the Crown to the arrogant dicta tion.of a haughty Aristocracy, who desired to hold amid in Leading-strings. It was then, amid " Realm's. (fancied) decay," because • this Faction were not admitted to supreme power, that his Royal Highness's early friends drunk hiS health in contemptuous silence, while their More vulgar partizans "at the lower end of the. Hall" hissed and hooted the royal name. But mark the reverse since March 1812, a reverse which it have been thought would have in-' dtinellikte . Noble Lord, from prudent motives, to hatie*lbtkiettl this ill , timed publication !- How is his Royal Highness's health - toasted now? With uni versal shoits 'and acclamations. Treason itself dare nat interpose a single discordan t sound sate inits own private orgies! Where is now the realm's-decay oh short-sighted prognosticators of prophecies ! look around,and dread thefateof the speakersof talsehocid among the Jews of old, who Were stoned to death by the pedlite The Wide, world furnishes the.an swer to your selfish Croakings, and tells Lord BYRON that he is destitute of at least one 'of the qualities of an inspired Bard. Perhaps we : might add another, viz, honesty in acknowledging his plagiarisms, one of which (as xve have already said more than his silly verse above quoted deserves, except from the rank of its author) we, shall take the liberty of stating, to , the Public. The Bride of 4biidos begins, something in the stile of an old ballad, thus " Know ye the land where the cypress and rnyitle Are emblemi of deeds that ale done in their clime, 11lien. the rage of the vulture—the love of the turtle— Now melt into sorrow—now‘madden to crime ? Know ye the land of the cedar and vine ? Where the flowers ever blossom, the beams . ever'shine, Where the light wings of Zephyr,oppresed with perfume, Wax faint o'er the gardens . of G6l in her bloom ; Where the citron and olive are fairest of fruit, And the voice of the 'nightingale never is mute; Where the tints of the earth, and the hues of the sky, In colour though varied, in beauty may vie, And the purple of Ocean is deepest in dye." The whole of which passage we take to be a pa• rephrase, And a bad paraphrase too, of a song of the. German of Gothe, of which the following translation was published at Berlin in 1798 : " Know'st thou the land, where citrons scent the gale, Where glows the orange in the golden valet ' Where softer !.freezes fan the azure skies, Where myrtles spring and prowler laurels rise?" " Know'st thou the pile, the colonnade sustains, Its splendid chambers and its rich domains, , Where breathing statues stand in bright array, And seem, a What ails thee, 'hatiless maid,' to say ?" " Know'st thou the mount, where clouds obscure the day; Where scarce the mule can trace his misty way;. Where lurks the dragon and her scaly brood And broken rocks oppose the headlong flood ?" THE THEATRES.—Mr. KEAN appeared ,for the third time last night, at Drury-lane Theatre, in the part of Shylock. He performed with more firmness and self-possession, and fully confirmed the favourable opinions which his previous efforts had excited, and the impression which he has made upon the public at large, was evident in a much more numerous audience than had attended on the former occasions. COVENT-GARDEN.—The Farmer's Wife was re presented the second time last night at Covent- Garden Theatre. It has been curthiled in some parts with good effect. It attracted a very large audience, and was very well received. Mr. CHARLES KE:!IBLE, who has recently beert 'performing- with great success at Edintuirgh, is said to be in treaty with Mr: H. - SIDDONS, for pur chasing the theatre in that city. Mr. YOUNG the actor, has it seems been frost bound at'Manchester, but the 'inhabitants; were not induced to give him a cold reception at the theatre. • - NAVAL NEWS. .~ A. w.~. .DEAJ., FEB. 3.--Sailed the.

LES non-arrival is said to be owing to indisposition, and the inclemency of the season. THE REGENT REMOVING FROM CARLTON HOUSE. The seFison being fast approaching whefi the - magnificent alterations and improvements in, and additions to; the Palace'of the REGENT, SO long in contemplation, and often the 'subject ot. dis cussion betweed the late Mr. WYATT and Mr. • NASH, 1611 be carried into effect; the same bay itrg received the approbation of . the PRI NCB, the Gentlemen undertakers will be admitted, without much longer delay, every preliminary havingbeen settled, even to that of providing a-suitable dwell ing for the' illustrious owner. The Duke' of DE* VON3HIRE has had the flattering Oistinetion of an application to him For Burlington House. This superb pile, • being neglected, is to be put into a state of repair, for the reception of his ,Royal Highness. The two principal rooms, each of which ifloo feet long, are to be fitted for state oceasionS—the one as a Hall . o,E Audience, the other a Council Chamber. All the various apart ments •trie Of the most majestic proportions ; they • will be appropriately decorated in a temporary stile, calculated for a two years residence, which is the limited period for the completion of Carl ton House; and all its appnrtenances. When the great Earl of BURLINGTON raised • this edifice, he said, (in answer to a qUery, why lie built 1149 town house in the country ?) ," that he well knew, by so dc:ag, no one would ever build beyond • him." By the late purchase of Mr., KIRWAN'S I house, by , Lord•Lowmea, all the impedimentslo the improvements in front, \Vest of Carlton House, arc removed. We understand that Sir WALTER STIRLING'S, will terminate the front on that side. On the other, all the ruinous old-tene ments, together with Warwick and Berkeley Houses, in the rear, are, it is said, to come down. In consequence of the demise 'of•Mrs. MARKHAM, the relict '.of the late Archbishop of YORK, the improvements North of Carlton House are to be carried into effect forth With. Mrs. MARKHAM'S protest produced a clause in the Act of ment, which was•an insuperable bdr -to the pro jected Plan for the Regent's-street. By that an injunction was-granted, to restrain the architect from pulling down the fine stone mansion, York House, situated at the North-west corner of Ed ward and Mortither-streets, as long as Mrs. MARKHAm lived: Opposite' to Carhop House there will, be a general clearance of the ground, viz. on the West as far, and including the Earl of GALwAy's house ; on the East •to . the Haymar ket, leaving only the Opera House standing: On Monday last, at Fulbeck, the Right Hon. CHARLES ARBUTHNOT, to Miss HARRIET FANE.— After the ceremony the happy couple se, off to pass the honey-moon at Apthorpe, tile seat of the Earl Of WESTMORELAND. The pricking for the Sheriffs for the 'year en 'ming, takes place at the Privy Council to be ire:ti this cay by the PRINCE REGENT.
