They have told us, for many months, that We should nor stand ppan high ground, and refuse concessions to a proud and, vittoriaus fleiny, who has rendered himself so formidable on th e Contineht, but make the best Peace. we can, in order to stop the ravages, the miseries, and the nlehacing 'ruin of War.

THE Opera of Artaxerxes was repeated last night, and Mrs. BILL INGTON received with un abated zeal of applause, an applause that her admit able performance abundantly reqt,ited. She was encored ,in " Let not rage," and 4" The Soldier tied.," On the repetition of ,the latter, she intro duced new graces, and eclipsed all her predecessors ir k executing this popular air. The Bravura at the end of the first A& is the most extraordinary specimen of vocal skill that ever was heard. She seemed to be more in possession of her powers than on the first night, and gave 'the Recitatives with great expression. The PR W“ of WALES was, in his former pri vate Box, and the DUKE of KENT in one that is supposed to be intended for pis Royal Highness, on the third tier. The Prince and Princess of ORANGE were also present.

THE Island of Trinidada has 'received more im provement during the short time it has been in British posSession, than it probably would, had it continued half another century • in the hands of Spain ; and as a Sugar Island, its value is • very great. The country is flat and level ;- the soil re markably rich, free from woods, and well supplied with water. It is as healthy as any most in the West Indies, and much more so th an of them. Little of the land: has hitherto been cultivated, through the indolence of its former possessors ; and it may be'very truly said, that none of it had - been worn out, which cannot be said of most of the We scarcely know a situation holding out more advantages to a man of enterprize, with a • moderate property. Trinidada has many advantages beyond those-we have stated, by its immediate proximity •to the -Continent :of Spanish America, by which a com merce offers, though, perhaps, somewhat clan destine, yet which it would neither be possib,le nor prudent in Spain to check, to an extent almost un-. bounded. We all know that. certain articles of the manufacture of this Country are there in' the highest demand, and that we receive in return the treasures of Mexico and . Peru ; and we doubt not, that, .little as the Island' of Trinadada may be esteemed by those Who know it nor, it will belound not only a very ample return for Martinique, but for all we hold of France in the West Indies,' on the precarious terms of an expensive Walt- Establish... went. Mr. CUMBERLAND'S new Drama is not to be brought forward till the reign ofsing-sovg is upon the decline. If it should breathe a poetic spirit similar to that which animates his CALVARY, the Dramatists of the present day will have reason to " hide their diminish'd heads." GABRIELLI is generally considered as the first Singer of Bravitra Airs that Italy ever produCed, She is still alive, and lives near Naples. The mu sic of the Air which Mrs. BiLLINGTOST ilaS intro duced in Artaxerxes was shown to her, and it so-far exceeded the difficulties of vocal music in her day, that she•could hardly believe it possible for the hu man power to execute such a• composition. HAYDN, the Composer, is now diligently em ployed, notwithstanding his advanced age,' in setting to music an Oratorio, entitled The Day-of judg ment. He has transmitted the elegant gold medal presented to him by t h e C onservatory o f Music t, Paris, to the Prince of ESTE Ril AZY, to be preserved by him in his Cabinet of Medals. The Inhabitants of Norwich, by way of testify ing their satisfaction at the Peace, took the horses from the tkuble-todied roach, and drew it through the'rnarket:place. It is lucky for them the news did not reach them by the ewaggon. The Dragon on the. Lake . of Constance contidues to spread terror in that neighbourhood, and to serve as a scapc-goat to the robbers of I . len.roosts, as a cat does to the servants in a private - family for the destrudion of china.. Ia this country.such an animal •*mild be welcomed by our farmers, and would ix made useful. It would justify an.avance on our poultry; to counte ra c t t h e dreadful cifeds, of his gluttony. AS the Island of Ceylon: is supposed l - .)y, the In habitants to be the phrnitive Eden, the Dutch are advised- to publish a new edition of 'Paradise Lost. To such a work we have- no objeaiOn ; but we are glad to find by the Articles of Peace, that they will, have no co,sy-rigi. , t to Paradise Regain'd. The following Bon Mot, founded• on the story of the Clerical Impostor of St. Martin's; is related in the French Papers—An Irish Lady, whose hus band had been baled by the Impostor, alarmed lest her helpmate should not lie quietly in his grave, went in great trepidation to Dr. I - ItovuLTort, the Reacr, to, inquire if the interment was good. The. Dodor assured her that the deceased was as effec tually buried as a man could be. The Lady, wiping her eyes, exclaimed, ." Aid Dr. HAM ILTo N, you have made me per, easy !" On Monday last Mr. CHAPMAN'S hounds made their first appearance for the season on Putney Heath, with excellent sport ; after chopping a leve ret, they had two very good runs with a brace of old harea, the first of which they killed, after three quarters of an hour's brisk running ; but the second beat them in a straight forward dace of three miles into Comb Woods. The' Siirrey fox-hounds have also begun to divide and disperse the cubs. Friday afternoon, as a waterman was rowing under the-bows of A ship at Deptford, the cook of the ship not perceiving him at the time,- thror a paleful of boiling water over the bows; which fall ing direaly over the man, scalded him in a shock ing manner. Every possible assistance was given him-by a Surgeon who happened tc, be on bparti at the time. .AOPD CAMEL FO R 1) Ts E -VatlotlS reports which were in circulation in the course of yesterday, respelling the arrival of the Ratification of the Preliminaries of Peace, in duced the Public, westward . of -Leicester-square, to illuminate,, under the idea that it )would' be come general ; the whole of Piccadilly and Bond_ . street was exceedingly ,brilliant ; and lighted up early in the evening, except' the house of Messrs.

His Lordship having the command, Would not suffer a candle to appear ; but the mob seemed as determined as, his Lordship, who at 'length resolved not .to parley any longer ; he therefore armed himself with a bludgeon, and dallied forth to meet , the enemy, who were pr e p are d w i t h -b r i c k-bats to receive him. His Lordship, however, so well play ed his part, that several of the mob measured their length on the ground, and the first use they made of their recovered senses was to run off without any further desire. 'to 'renew the combat ;, two of , them were seriously wounded. His Lordship had the miabrtune to receive a flying brick.bar,- but it had not theeffeet to. cause him to quit the scene of battle until his friends in the house,' and :others whom they had collided for the, purpose, took his Lordship in by force ; which was no sooner per ceived by his flying enemy, but they rallied again, and with stones broke' every - pain of glass in the - drawing-room windows, which consisted of four, and also 'rendered the window frames considera .ble, .damage. His , Lordship on hearing , what was passing, in_ a terrible rage broke from his friends, and got possession of a pistol, with which he name to - the window with an intent, it is sup posed; to have fired;, had riot his friends once more • prevailed on him to.. retire; and being seriously alarmed, they. thought fit arlast ro purchase their: Peace with the, mob by lighting a few, candles in the windows of . the upper story, which were the only ones remaining.

MAIDSTONE, OCT. 7.
