THE DUKE DE BERRI. e regret much to have to state that any delay , ta ken place at this most critical juncture in 1 7 arrival of 'die Duke of BE P. RI at the place of l is d estination. But it will be seen from the to'- /vi n e g lett er , th a t th e winds have been so un rPitious as t o com p e l hi s Royal Highness to ' ln d at Weymouth, and it was not till Sunday la l St that he was enabled with a favourable breeze to „.„ r ro eeed again on his. important mission, which 14 37 the G od of Justice crown With prosperity X 44 bless, till we have to record the final.triumph .Vertt ""uve; - and- the punishment of guilty " t Piktion khave heard that Colonel BUNBURY is the to,„ 'Panion of the Duke de BERRI. WEYMOUTLI, JAN.3I .--The Francis Freeling, 8 -4. °) commanded by Captain PIPON, which ailed from hence on Friday last, with the mail , 4 1 114 Passengers fur the Islands of Guernsey and s eY, was unfortunately driven back by con ,„,et Y winds on Saturday morning. The Duke DE ast a 111 , accompanied by a French General Officer, " i his Staff, attended, with a large retinue, re • • Ild ed, and were received by a large concourse of R e etator s on t h e qua y, w ith ever y t e stitnony of res p e ct , They proceeded to the King's Head hotel' where the Royal Party had resided during e , • last week. Yesterday morning they again embarked on board °. the Francis Freeling, at ten o'clock,.-and F l ed for the islands with- a fine northerly wind, d er convoy of the Zephyr sloop of war. .They l er t the quay in the Commander's barge, carrying 11 them universal wishes for a safe journey to ers cY, and success to the glorious cause they " e k about to' espouse, in defence of their King, EL" his.l"Ava and legitimate pretensions. th tf The wind has been exceedingly favourable, and at ere is no doubt of the packet's having arrived J ersey this morning," A Heligoland Mail arrived this morning, but ow• I ng to an ice blockade there has been NO corn 744ication with the Continent since the sth ult. and - Consequently no intelligence. We see with raeasure that the Inhabitants of the Isla n d etnu te tl)efr brethren . at home in the work of cha titv J. and that the sufferings of Germany are every s, hcrP felt and.relieved.

'We beg to call-the public attention to the very interesting and authentic description of France, first page. , It rather alters from the C'hr'o;tic'l,e, but limit the Less true on that accOunt.

Should political ciretimatances, how ever; render such a humiliation necessary, we hope Lord C. will loi)k to his guards and his cooks_—When one is in company with rob bers and murderers the utmost caution is Wisdom, and it is impossible to be too 'care ful. The Duke D'ENOHIEN was feloni ously seized by this very CAULTNCOURT. Our Envoy RUMBOLD was, against every law of nations, taken by force to Paris : Mr. BAT- HURST disappeared no one can tell, though many can guess, how : The Messenger WAGSTAFF was robbed_ and tied to a tree. Not to multiply ex amples, neither nations nor individuals have es caped with impunity tram the treacheries of the Corsican and his associates. Speculations are still afloat respecting the coarse of BUONAPARTE-they are mere conjec- tures. An account has just been received of the arri val of the country ship Elizabeth at Dartmouth yesterday, from St. Helena, which place she left on the 13th December last ; and it appears that the Company's ships then at St. Helena were the Apollo, indefatigable, Rose, and Diana ; Her cules, Ann, Perseverance, Phecnix, and Favourite, whalers. All the Mails due this morning have arrived, except the Birmingham and Taunton. Yesterday the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and a Swe dish Officer, waited upon the PRINCE REGENT, at Cariton-house. The Earls of LIVERPOOL and BATHURST, ,and the CHANCELLnK of the EXCHEQUER, had a con sultation yesterday at the Secretary of State's Of fice for the War Department, , Lord CASTLEREAGH reached Basle on the 17th ult. Yesterday 'the Duke of. YORK, after attending the PRINCE REGENT- at Carlton House, held a Leyte at his Office at four o'clock, and gave inter views to a number of Officers and others. Among them were— • Major-General Ponsonby, on his return from Spain; Lieut.- Colonel Fea - et, of the First Regiment of Foot Guards, on his promotion; the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, Lieut -General Sir Charles Asgill, Generarrarleton, Brigadier-General Camp bell,-Brigadier-General Ashworth, &c. Intelligence from Bengal by the country ships lately arrived, states, that the Sambees, a - town in the Island of Borneo, inliabited by pirates, Was captured in July last by a detachment under Capt. WArsoN, of his Alajesty's 14th regiirientiafter an obstinate resistance, in which we sustained a tri vial loss. An insurrection like that nt Saandam, broke out in Leyden last April, and four students were shot.. There has been, it is- said, an insurrection at. Lisle, to suppress which it was necessary to dis f patch a part of the garrison of Antwerp. Letters frpm Naples, of the 6th ult. state, that an Austrian Minister bad arrived at that Court, and on the behalf of his Master was party to the treaty concluded bet.ween"the Neapolitans and the Allies 5 and also, that liefore•Norembei last, the trade with Naples was carried on in opposition to the Continental System by licenses. On the 7th of that month MuItAT returned, and four days afterwards all his harbours were thrown open to general trade, in acknowledged defiance of that. system, and licenses have since beery no more ne cessary than' with the most friendly powers. The Loan GiiANCELLok is recovering from his severe attack of the gout, with which he has been afflicted for these three weeks past. On the Mitre of iNliss MATIIEvi'S last night at Covent Garden, she either was, or seemed to be, verytnuch indisposed, but after swallowing a glass .of grog,. or soinething like it, at the wing, she proceeded with miraculous vigour. Mrs. MARY ANNE CLARKE is to be 'drought up next week to the Court of King's Bench for judg ment at the prosecution of Mr. FITZGERALD for a libel. yesterday morning E. :VERNON, Esq. and Mrs. Vatt►_.•osr and her family, left Weymouth, to the great regret of the tradesmen, but more So to the poor inhabitants, Many of whom had experienced benevolent acts of kindness from them during the late inclement Season: Their charities have not been confined, but they have also distributed great quantities of Bibles and Testaments to the, child ren of poor distressed parents, that reflects the greatest credit on their philanthropy. They - also exhibit a 'pattern of domestic happineSs rarely to be. net with in high life. The Thames, yeSterday, between Blackfriars and London-bridges, continued to present the no vel scene of persons moving on the ice in all di rections, and in greatly increased numbers. The ice, however, from its roughness and inequalities, isjotally unfit for amusemept,though.we observ ed several booths erected upon it for the sale of small wares, but the p l ublicans and spirit dealers. were most in the receipt or the custom. The whole. of the Ri ver opposite Queenhithe was com pletely frozen over ; and in, some parts the ice was several feet thick, while in others it was dangerous to venture upon ; notwithstanding which, crowds. of foot passengers crossed backwards and forwards throughout the whole of the day. We did not hear of any lives being lost ~ but many who ven tured too far towards Blackfriars-bridge were par tially in the water by the ice giving way. Two coopers were with difficulty saved.

THE LATE GENERAL Bilocx..---The Parliament of Upper Canada have voted an Address to the PRINCE REGENT, praVir:g for authority to make a grant of lands in that PrOvirrce to the relatives of the late General BRocK, who. fell so nobly in its defence, against the unprincipled invasion of the Americans. His Royal Highness has been most glacionsly pleased to accede to a request which does so much honour to the memory of the deceased, and is so gratifying to the teeling,s of the living.

HATToN-GARDEN.-,-Mr. Thos. Sadler and Mr. R. Wragg,; both of Shoreditch, proprietors of stage-coaches. from London to Walthamstow, ap peared to a summons on, the information of John Harwood, of King-street, charging 'them with carrying more than five outside passOgers, cepting the coachman, on their coaches, on the evening of Christmas-day, the coaches being draWn by three horses each, and not being double bodied. Tl.e information..was laid on the 7th of January, and the partit:s were not summoned three weeks afterwards, in consequence of which neglect the sitting Magistrate dismissed the charge, and gaVe the informers a severe reprimand for their culpable and watt' neglect, in not summon ing the offending parties at au earlier period. fitntr-LANE —. 'he. Merchant Venice was yesterday evening repeated et ,thistheatre, for the purpose 4• again introducing ,Mr., KE A N; she character of ShyloCk J l and : weeare haispy e to r state; that .the ,opinien, we. expressed on that Gentle man's first appearance has been ,fully confirmed by this further exhibition of his powers.. We . are told by those who haste :written.the Lis, tory of the English Stage,'_ that was . formerly . the practice s of actors, high in pablic,fafour, to eepresent Shylock as a being deservedly incurring unmitiiated,ridieule and detestation. e A more Ju dicious estimate of • the qualities, with which our w great . author chose to endo him, has however resciteo the Jew from so titter a degradation. To, this result, it is surprising that an ,aticwiye.,col sideration of those qualities did not sooner cpn duct the performer. Disgraced, hindered of liaif a million, his losses laughed at, his gains mocked, his nation scorned; his bargains thiverted; his• friends cooled, his enemies, heated, by Andunsio e s-- - the avarice of Sitytock'S original disposition yields to a passion, which,. though abuedantly malig nant, is less ignoble in its character,.. In the, prosecution of his revenge, he certainly exhibits feelings of the, most sanguinary nature but the abharrende which they' are•ealculated to excite in our breasts, is e snuch -moderated by the remere, }trance of the provocation to Which thsiy owe their, brrth. floppy, therefore, as we are at the tad mate disappointment of Shylock's• w,ishes, we can not Withhold 'from him a portion of respeet for the immovable firmness with which 'he resist's the most lucrative temptations ; and the miserable state to 'Which he is at length reduced, eallS upins pity to mingle with our just exultation. • • Nothing could exceed the propriety and Ability with which this improved idea of Shylock was last night embodied by Mr..KEAN. The part is one -of no great length, but it is invariably important.. Not a line which the Jew titters but is full of meaning. Through all the varieties of the cha racter, and in the very tempest and's/dill:I / wind of his passion, Ithwever . . energetic and transitive, Mr. KEAN still preserves a certain redeeming dignity of demeanour, which, at •the very moment that Shylock becomes the-7 - objeet of our bitterest hatred, saves him front our contempt. Our limits will not allow us to describe any particultr excel lencies, if indeed description could give an ade (late idea of them. Mr. KEAN is an actor whose mesas must be witnessed to be duly appreciated and in the present scarcity of theatrical talents, we heartily congratulate the public on . the sadden appearance of a young performer, gifted, with meietal and physical qualities, which promise im mediately to secure to hint a distinguished piece in the first rack of his profession.. The house was most fully and brilliantly at tended. 'flee approbation was frequent and ge neral,; and the final exit of Shyloek teas follotvcct. by several-distinct peals of applause. We 'Should be guilty of great injustice to Miss Stsirrn it we failed to notice her elegant and fas .Ving performance of Portia; and we should be guilty of great injustice, to the public if we failed to notice the gross and inexcusable negli,- gence of Mr. OxneltelY itt .Launeelot Gobbo. COVENT-G.SRDEN.—We have so long been ac customed to the weak productions of the modern stage, that We shOuld have experienced little dis appointment at the representation of a new opera last night at this Theatre, under the title of The Farmer's Wife, it it had not been preceded by re ports highly in its favour s We must resort' to the re ports phrase on this occasion, and •consislee the piece as a mere " vehicle for the musiss."— The plot is very simple, and has very little inte rest. It may soon be dispatchede Cornflower, the Farmer (FAvcrcETT), has rendered services to the fatni4y of his wife (Miss STEPHENS) who, though of superior rank and education, mar ries hint. Farmer is, an excellent man, and they arc a happy couple. During his absence, Sir Charles Courtly (JosEs)a profligate man of fashion, partly by :accident, and partly' by stratagem, gets into the house, under ptetence sst, being hurt by a fall from his cerriage, and et tempts to seduce Mrs. .Cornflower. At length he. and his knavish servant Peter (LisTotv) take ad vantage of Cornflbwer's absence, and force her away in a post chaise to Sir .Charles's house.-- Here they are followed by the husband and his friends, and as the fernier receives: iedisputabla proofS of his wife's innocence, he takes her aguid to his ari'ns, and Sir Charles, shocked atethe mis chief which he haS occasioned, expresses contri tion, and the piece coneludq. lt, is not necese sary to notice the frivolous.transactions tai* anem der-plot. We have hardly 'attended any piece in which, to use the painter's, phrase, there are so many " figures to be let," for very few of them have any kind of connection with the main Plot, and but for the scope which they afford to MA THEWS, EUtEdif, and "Miss ,BOoTIT, might be lop s . ped off without being Missed. The heroine of the piece, Mrs. Cornflower, is, to speak tenderly, a very inconsistent lady: She is very fond oilier husband, and despises her gallant, yet she continues to listen to his addresses. Hence, though the hits band is not supposed to know of this galkentry, be appears to be very easily convinced ahem- Milo cence. There is a scene Of some humour between Sir. Charles and Peter, adverting to the, legal con sequences of crirn. con. when the one addresses a supposed Jury as -COUnsellor, and the other as 'Judge: But there is nothing in the character of Pettr, altogether, that appears to spalify him for giving such a speech. i There is also a scene of some pathos, where Williams, the Citrate (Cttae siAN) discloses to the Farmer the tnelancholy 'tid ings of his Wife's:elopemente In this scene FAW CETT played with 'great feeling and gtfect s The music is the production of Btsnor, REEvE, CoN DELL, T. WELSH, DAvv, and sloistsoet ; - and if they have: nti.t, ecn un formly succcssiul, they hate all displayeil taste sted talents. Several of the airs were' encored, p4rticatlarly those sues; by Miss STEPHENS and MATHEWS: Miss MATTHEwS was suificiently recovered to undertake her part, :tad she sung with such vigour as could hardly be expected atter such olarmill?„ accounts of I:ci. ss. A song about a DOatigg SLeo, kv MATHEWS displayed his Mimetic powers ,was applauded. The ho,the was crowded, .and .t!ie piece was received with as mach applause, on he. ing announced for repetition 40-nio:To- as :tit had possessed a hundred times its inherent pretensions.
