AMATEtti CONCERT.!-- thi s t i t l e, last night commenced its opetations at the Hanov er-square Rooms. As this Concert is under the diredion of JOHN SPENCER, Esq. and Colonel . F. GREVILLE, two Gentlemen conspicuous in the fashionable circles, it was natural to exile& it would obtain a distinguished patronage among the that higher orders. Such Is the faCl, ,and never in this Country comd a public undertaking of the kind b oast a so high and so splendid a list of Subscribers. The Conceit commenced at eight o'clock, and t hough the butches of IE,oNsHI1 E,oNsH I it E gave a brad Concert last night, the Hanover -square Room had a large concourse of fashionable visitors.

Indeed her the eneral spirit and accuracy of the Concert has ardly ever been surpassed, Madame BIANCHI, Nt ct.o; the SALES, GARB, Master KELLNER, and others, supported the vocal depart..ient with great ability. The pieces were well chosen. A Glee, composed by G. T . SMART for this Concert, tertO . was well received. Asti s Co n _ the a delightful n. ori the Flute. A Trio for the two H orns was ably supported b Harp an d y Miss Ca.srm o *nd thetzwriziatts. Aft er the Concert, which was not, as is often the ease; too long, the company de acended to a very elegant Cold Supper in the Tea Itoomit. Covers were laid for two bunderd persons, and aS those who were -first accommodated yielded their plaCes after a reasonable tim e to others, all the eortipany were in turn amply gratified. Catches and Glies succeeded the stipper, and wire followeld by a dance in the Concert Roorm..—This meeting is certainly the most elegant of the kind eve r off ere d to the fashionable world, and as the expellees must be more than the subscription.money, notwithstand ing the high and numerous patronage, it is evi dently intended as a rational and refined refute hom the haunts of folly and dissipation, 7 1.ady H AMILTON has thrown off her iitlidene4 L"46, and was one of the beautiful galaxy that last night Illuminated the Amateur Concert.

" Let NAl 4 ot.Eorr BONArARTE, First Consul, be proclaimed Emperor of the French. —Let the Impe rial title and power be hereditary in his family.— Let Liberty, Equality, and the Rights of the People be preserved entire ! Such is the wish of the Tri bunate ; such is the National wish ; such, is the cry resounding in those vast territories which you have consoled,. embellished, and rendered proud of your glory !. SUcli has lung been ours ; and we should have proclaimed it sooner, had we not feared to weaken the merit and eloclience of those which are addressed to you from all quarters, and-of the bles sings which re-echo around you. We have seen able to keep back the expression of a sentiment that would overcome us, and we applaud ourselves for having given Europe time to judge whether you are dear to French Men. Orr the 18th Brumaire, grateful France would have applatided those institutions which would have then given you the Empire : you would have made her happy under a title which you have rendered illustrious, but which no longer suf fices for your greatness and her affection ; she nursed in secret, feelings which she can no longer conceal ; suddenly impelled by the crimes of Eng. land, the Nation has broke silence, and the world has just now heard its acknowledgments and wishes. The Troops of the Camp of St. Omer knew that the Nation would cfrer to you a diadem ; they reserved for themselves to implore you to cover your august head with it. They ardently desire to tender to your paternal and puissant hands the Oath which the French Army, on the /4th of July, offered in good faith to that degenerate. Family which soon detached them from it, by trifling with its own engagements. An all-powerful motive operates on, your generous heart, while the interest -of forty millions of men hardly allows you to delibtrate. It requires the sacri. Tice of your .person; \ it claims your family, which has discovered so many talents, and promises- us nothing hut virtues. tYou owe it toyour own glory, to put the seal to your sublime Jostitatioos, by majestically placing that cherished Family - at the summit of the edifice, to fix for ever the pttention of virtuous Citizens ; to annihilate guilty hope, aid to precept to the French, Chiefs worthy, to ero them. Accept for-her and yourself; the fairest tri bute of gratitude ever offered ; and the en'eg-:-.. ment you will take will ensure to future generations the happiness we already owe_to your fav(wr. _ (Signed) "SOULT, " General, Commander in Chief."

" When the whole Nation, pressed by the sense of its clingers and necessi►ies, -confided its destiny,to you, the Army, rendered illustrious by this choice, applauded' it with the greater enthusiasm, as they were better qualified to appreciate the power of your genius. When successive plots threatened an existence, which is the pledge of happiness to forty millions of men, the Army shared the alarms of an immense people ; and thence sprung in the hearts of all the Soldiers the desire to see a new order of things, that would oppose an insurmountable barrier to the dreams of ambition, to the hopes of crime. Respect only could compel us to confine this wish within our hearts. Essentially subjed to the Laws, we durst not arrogate to ourselves the first hint of it. But, Citizen FIRST CONSUL, let us not be for bidden to rejoice at an event, in which all our af fdlions are blended ; let us not be forbidden to mingle our voice with the sacred voice of our Coun try ; let us not be forbidden to supplicate you not to oppose a measure, without which, the enjoyment of all that we have acquieed, at the expence of so much'biood and sacrifices, would be uncertain and precarious. A great State require; an irremove ' able Chief: it requires an invariable order of suc cession. This order, eminently necessary to its quiet, is by no means imeompatible with Liberty. Be then, Citizen FIRSII CONSUL, be our Emperor. without ceasing to be the father of the Country. For otir part, tranquil at present on the happiness of all that is dear to us, we whet oufattns..... As soon as the.hour of Justice shall have struck, as soon as you shall have resolved to punish a Government which has filled the measure, give your signal, Citi zen FIRST CONSUL, and yore will find us devoted and faithful.

" After having indulged the most acute sensa tions, on the discovery of the horrible attempt pro_ ,Jetted against your person and the French People, we have looked forward to futdrity, and discovered the uneasiness which must spring from our present organization, and from the habit of seeing our ene mies sully themselves with their :rimes.

COPENHAGEN, APR IL 24. —The commerce of our principal towns is becoming every day mare flourishing. Several English, Dutch, and Ham burghers have settled in our city, where they carry on trade to a .great extent. The 'greatest activity is displayed in constrtAing. trading vessels at Co penhagen, Tonningen, and Schleswig. ' G:,THA, APRIL 211.—Ota Duke died last night. According to a wish expressed in his Will, he is to be interred in an island in his gardens, near the spot where some of his children have already been in tvted. He has expressly forbidden the erection of :rny Monument or Epitaph. His body will be de- routed in a common , grave, and a Tree planted over it. HAGUE, APRIL 24.—Letters from the Cape, of Good Hope, state, that several English Vessels, the Commanders of which did not know of the com mencement of hostilities, had entered the Cape, and had been detained. They were rich Ves6elsi com ing from the East Indies. DUE ING.—On Sunday evenirg, Capt. JOHN PAGET HUSTINGS, of the Worcester Militia, and Capt. MATTHEW HUTTON, of the 22d Foot, had a dispute at the St. George's Coffee_House, Cov ‘ ent ty- Street, Haymarket, which ended in a duel :being agreed upon. In the course of yeSterday !tyquing, their friends hearing of the result of the dispute, sent information to Mr. GRAHAM, the M tgistrate, who- issued Warrants fur their apprehension, and Officers were dispatched in pursuit of them. T,!'ev, were soon brought-in the custody of Atkins f.efore Mr. READ, the Sitting Magistrate is Office, Bow -street, by whose kind in the parties shook hands, and agreed to for. get what had passed. They were, however, held tat.i to keep the peace in iool. themselves, and • one surety in tool. each. GREENWICH PARK.—Yesterday the 0/ivies of this ancient scene of frolic were celebrated with ail the vivacity of John Bull and his jelly family. The extreme serenity of the morning, joined to the well known attratlions of Greenwich, sct the holiday folks in early motion. The finery of Whit. Monday was displayed in all the colours of the rainbow. The approaches to the scene of merriment were coni- P,enced by lani and water early in the day. The roads to town in the evening exhibited a repetition of 'the same motley groupes as went forth in the morning : every coach, long and short, stage or hack, every buggy, gig, cart, or other vehicle that could be hired was in requisition. The cavalcade enjoyed the full benefit of the dust, of which the clouds were almost impervious. There were a few Private boxing.matches, and some little ducking in the Thames, in the hurry of landing and re-embark. ing, but we heard of no serious accident. Rovittw-MATcH.—Yesterday, about half past two in the afternoon, the Aurora and Westmorelandi two four.oared boats, started from Westminster bridge to row through Kew-bridge, a distance of eleven miles and a half, against tide, for a wager of twenty guineas. The choice of piers was won by the Aurora, but before they reached the shore the Westmoreland came up with her, and nearly turned her round; •the Aurora, however, prevented her opponent from passing her, and continued ahead all the way up Millbank. On crossing from tl►e Dis. tillery to the Red House, the Westmoreland again came up with the Aurora, and after a sharp con test, passed her and kept greatly a.head until they came near Putney, when the Aurora got very close to her adversary. After they passed the bridge, the Westmoreland again got so much a-head of the Aurora, that on the arrival of the latter at Baines, she gave up and went on shore. The Westmoreland continued her course, and passed through Kew. bridge at four o'clorki having performed the dis. tance in about an hotir and a half, the shortest time it ever Was rowed in. The bridge yids lined w ith speaators, above and under the arches, who saluted the vieturs with huizas and a discharge of small guns on their arrival. Considerable bets were depend ing. The odds, previous to starting, were in fa.. your of the Aurora. A young man was found shot through the head about one o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday, in Norwood. The fnlldwing description of his person will affoid his distiessed friends and relatived an opportunity of owning him :—He was dressed in a eorbeati.colouted coat, with covered buttons ; a blue, barred with a small sprig, Marcella waistcoat ; Nankeen pantaloons ; white stockings, and shoes tied with silk strings, with a pistol hying by the side of him; in his hand a little powder in some paper,; and in his Waistcoat pocket a sixpence and a bullet. He was found in Mr. Scott's upper wood, formerly. called Thieves Hall, and lies now at the Gipsey House, to be oWnedi At between three and four o'clock yesterday al_ ternoon, a young woman of poor appearance, and apparently intoxicated with liquor, attempted to thrust her young infant between the battlements of Blackfriar's Bridge, and throw it into the Thames. She was immediately taken into custody, and carried to Bridewell . It was there found, that she had lately lain.in in Sr. Saviour's Work-house, and that she had a husband, though she was going to commit this unnatural action, She and the child were conveyed to St. Saviour's Work-house, as soon as these cir. cumstances wete made known. -i.Tirlv-iicize;l I 2. sj 117 - r E N We have had 11-equent occasion ,to notice the state of discipline to which the Vo Fcree ri! the Scotch Metropolis had arrived. - We learn fro:ri a Correspondent, that the o;:ertions of the differinF.

The plan of the various evoltitioni and manceuv:es ed by this Regiment, were considered by nunlber of Military Charafters who attended the Revievt - 4 to have been particularly well ` chosen, and their execution such _as they; bac'. seld.,m ,seen surpassed by any Corps. -Their matchi,,g an d : fi r i ng „ equally correct ; and tl4e whole Review procured, them the highest applause. , On ,Wednesday the t6N instant, the Ist Bar., talion id Regiment Royal E , ..linburgh Volunteers,' , commanded by Lieut.-Col.

This fine Regi. rnent, WhiCh fur steadiness and discipline has beesi long considered as surpassed by none, likewise made a most military ,appearance, and performed theirevolutions and firings in a very correct man; net. The Commander in Chief Was highly gratified indeed...by the performance of these two Regiments, and expressed the, utmost Oot;fideiicein. the prospea of :meting our vaunting. and implaeable Fue with such Troops under his conimand.
