Mr. LOCKE, the managing Otvner of the David Scott East Indiaman, on going on board yesterday morning at Gravesend, to pay the men their wages, found the crew obstinately bent on refusing to proceed the voyage, unless they were paid Bounty-money. This demand was of course re sisted. Mr. LOCKE immediately set out for Lon don, to lay the proceedings before the Court of Directors, and to take instructions as to his future condtet in this disagreeable, though not unpre cedented business. The Court had in fact no concern in the affair, having given the Owners in general ample allow ances to cover all contingencies whatever ; but willing to aria them with every aid in their power, they sent clown an express to the several Com manders at Gravesend, inclosing the following. Placard, to be fixed on the u►aiu-mast Of their re spective ships, viz. " The Court of Directors of the United Company of Mer chants of Englana trading to the. Bast Indi s, having re ceiNed information that the seamen on board several of the Contpany's ships now at Gravesend h ive refused to proceed the voyage, unless allowed bounty ; and the coart considering such a demand highly unreasonable, the Court hereby de clare, that they will not sanction the payment of bounty to any seamen on board the Company% The above circumstance, though extremely vexatiou3, is nut likely to be attended with any permanent inconvenience. Th e crew Nvill of course be discharged ; and luck:iv there i s plenty of time to procure a fresh „f n 4, „.

" son v FRENCH PAPERS. [ I II . :EIVED THIS MORNING. V.:I7OEIA, DEC. 11.—In the interior of Spain reports of every maitre engage the:public atten tention. But the difficulty of comtutinic4tion is so great, t hat the most cOntra:lictory rumours are in circulation at the same time. One thing, however, is certain, viz. that the arrests continue. General Villacampa, the Lieutenant of the King at Saragossa, has been arrested, and the Ex- Regent's Agar and Siscar have been conducted under a strong escort. WARSAW, Nov. 24.—0 n the 16th, 17th, and 15th of this month, the Grand Duke Constantine, and a great number of Generals of the two 'na tions, reviewed several divisions of the national troops. VIENNA, DEC. o.—Thp greater part of the German Princes who came here to support their rights, finding that nothing was finished, 1:-eter mined to return to their homes. Prussia and Austria support them. It appears that these Powers interfered in the dispute between the Grand Duke of Baden and those Princes whose dominions are included in his. But though they give them hopes of success, yet their interests must give Way to those of a general nature. We are assured that the states of the second rank delivered to the Congress on the 7th a for mal and very well reasoned protest against the dis memberment of Saxony. They demand that no steps may be taken against the interests of any of the Princes who compose the Empire. That de , wand is very natural, but it remains to be seen how it can be reconciled %%jai the interests and , plans of the great Powers. A new bank is about to be established ; it is to be called the Bank of the Court.. The King of Prussia is much better, but it is feared that he will be obliged to keep his room a few days longer. PAHis, Dee. 20.—Gencral Baron Brune de - Vailant has been appointed secretary General at War in the room of General Baron D'Hervasse. GHENT, DEC, 16.—The English Papers give some extracts from the American Papers of Oc tober 22, which speak of the pecuniary embar rassments of the United States ; but these are trifles to a nation which has so many resources. 'e have already seen with what patriotism smile of time States have offered to defray the expellees of the war. ITALT. FUNDI, DEC. 4.—Th.e corps of reserve which was organized at Naples and at Lienever , to, has been put in motion. ft consists of 20;t:J0 men, with their artillery. To-morro'v the advanced guard, under General .I:ilangiere, will enter our town s The Kingdom being at peace with all the Maritime Powers, the Nationai Guards will be sufficient for the..safety of the cities and the inter nal police. We are assured that the three divi sions of Macdonald, which had entered the Abruzzo, have received orders to advance. It ap pears that the three divisions of Prince Campana which occupied the March of Ancona, have re ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness to March. We are assured - that the King will commence ltis journey on the sth January ; he quitted Na ples the same day last year, when he went to make war against France on the right bank of the Po. These military movements are extraordi nary, when. we are not at war with any one, and when the union between Austria and us is such, that the troops 'w.e commanded indifferently by the Generals of both nations. The army is discontented at being employed in these marches, which appear never likely to ter minate. Madame la Comptesse d'Aarriano, other wise Felice Bacciochi, stopped here on her way to Pisa to visit our august Sovereign. FUNDS. 5 per Centv Bank Actions . •• •72f. 65c. 1187 f. 70c. PARIS, DEC. 19. Amongst the letters lately intercepted either on Lord Oxford or Murat's Physician, there is one of twenty pages, written to Joachim by Madame de Stael. She writes to him nearly in the same style and with the same expres sious that she has spoken to Bernadotte, in the little work on Suicide, which she has dedicat ed to him. This letter was communicated to the King, who immediately gave orders to send it to Madame de Stael, informing her at the same time, .that she might send it to Murat by the Post. A letter was also intercepted, written by Ge neral Exec'mans" to Joachim. The Minister of War called upon the General and shoved him the letter. The General could not disavow his hand writing. He is now at Vincennes, the following was, in few words, the sub Stance of the letter : " I have 16,000 brave Men, they wait my orders to execute youra." The papers of which Lord OXFoRD was the bearer, were not taken from him without the ap -probation of Lord WELLINGTON, but the Ambas sador, in giving his assent to this extraordinary measure, made it a condition that the papers should be transmitted to himself. They were opened, however, in the presence of a French Minister, to Whom attested copies were Ittrukhed. The French, who always exaggerate what relates to theft' views and their interest, assert, that there was much culpability 011 the part of Lord OXFORD ill this affair. As a consequence of this, they also alledge, that Lord WELLINGTON advised Lord OxFoED to set out on his journey to Naples before he (Lord WELLINGTON). had received she answer of the PRINCE REGENT with relation to it. The French likewise pretend, but it is not known up on what foundation, that at the opening of the British Parliament, there will he a very severe inquiry relative to the conduct Of the Noble Lord. —(Jiorving Chronicle.) Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India Ilottse, when the undermentioned Cap tains were sworn into the command of their re spective ships, viz. :--Capt. 11. ScoTT, Ceres, for St. Helena and China ; Copt..l. VtrooD, Mar quis of Wellington ; Capt. C. Gttattam„ Pitt, for Madras and Bengal. THE TEILITRE. 1 . DRURY-LANE.—MISS W A LSTEI N, who, actoid4 ing to report, was - particularly admired in Ireland for her performance of Jane . Shore, appeared:,.in that character last night at this Theatre, Afld though we did not observe such an extraordinary degree of excellence as might be. expected, in consequence of the report above-mentioned, yet her rept esentation of the part altogether, was very creditable to her judgment and sensibility. Her firm resistance of h r astinn - s, mingled with penitence, and meek submission to his taunts in reference to her former conduct, were well expressed, so was her scene with Gloucester, where she rises into warm admiration of Hustings for supporting the cause of the Royal little ones." But her merit was chiefly conspicuous in the languor and weakness arising from want of sustenance, resignation to sufferings which she considers as the due punishment of guilt, and the tenderness and agony which she feels oa receiving the last attentions of her forgiving Hus band. The audience were liberal in applause throughout, and it must be acknowledged, that an Actress who can support with grace and spirit the part of Letitia IfOrdy, and acquit herself so well in one so different as that of Jane Shore, possesses a versatility of talents that give her strong claims to publk. patronage. RAS dis played his usual good sense and feeling in Hastings, but did not render the character very prominent. RAYMOND was forcibly cha racteristic and terrific in Gloucester. Poem • gave a very respectable support to the character of Dumont. Mrs. GLOVER is so good a comedian that it is not surprizing she has not equal merit ia the tragic province. There was no want of ex ertion in her Alicia, but we would rather see her wear the sock than the buskin. The house was well attended. Tire RIVAL Romeo.—KEAN (says „p country Paper) is to be produced as the Drury Lane Romeo, at the ensuing Helydays. The Covent Garden Proprietors are reported to have made most liberal offers to Mr. WILLIAM APCiIEADY to start ,in the same character, as his antagonist :—this young Gentleman has recently made the entire _career of youthful tragedy upon the boards of our northern Theatres, with a success more brilliant than ever yet attended a novice in that profession. In the opinion of many excellent critics, he has every promise of decided excellence, and at present only requires practice to throw down the gauntlet to the proudest of his competitors upon the Metro• litan soges. The Farce of " Shiloh," as now performing, reminds one of the country manager's hand-bill, announcing the Tragedy off/am/et :—" The part rf f - IimLET, for that night only, to he omitted, by particular desire." A certain vocal Actress, deservedly a favourite, was lately fined for refusing to sing in Macbeth. Though frequently encored by the Public, the, Alanager, it should apear, is not very partial to her airs ! Mr. AsuE.'s first Subscription Concert took place at the Upper Rooms oil Wednesday last, in the great Room, a circumstance which has not occurred for many seasons ; but the numerous as semblage fully required so extensive a space.. , Notwithstanding the exquisite hill of fare, BRA. HAM was certainly the powerful magnet of the evening. 'His first Italian Recitative and Air was pronounced " better than ever !" and his own song, " Is there a heart that never loved ?" pro luced a general encore. " The last words of Marmiou," however, surpassed even those efforts ; never were ideas so harmoniously and so emphati• cally expressed.—Mr. C. SMITH made his first ap. pearancc ; he sang with great science, and was very well received, and his duet kith BRAHAM was rapturously encored ; a compliment which his " Spirit of the Deep" should also have obtained. Miss BARTLETT made likewise her fist display at these• Concerts, and sang sweetly indeed, Miss WOOD is greatly improved since - last season, and ranks among the superior melodists of the age her fine intonation was particularly admired.— The Trumpet Concerto showed the astonishing powers of execution in the unique possession of Mr. SCHIMDT. From the approbation that crown ed the whole of this introductory Concert, Mr. ASHE may well augur ample remuneration, and the Public complete satisfaction .—(Bath Herald) IMPROVEMENTS.—We were premature in sup posing that the communications between the City and the Court end of the town would be opened by Christmas. On the contrary, the Strand is as impassable as ever, one side being occupied with trenches, the other with mountains of dirt, and the middle finely cut up into ruts, of which wa actually measured one varying from four to eleven inches in depth, and about eight paces in length. The LORD CHANCELLOR lately declared, that if the Water Companies were allowed to do as they pleased, they would soon go to the sea—the inhabitants of the metropolis wish they would go into it, and take the other Pipe Companies with them. CHRISTMAS PRESENT.--At Guildhall, yesterday, a respectable tradesman pi.do,,d a 1.,.6.t of oact sort of poultry, which he had received by the Hast— ings coach, as a Christmas present. It consisted of three old crows, four rats, and a dead cat, which he was requested to accept as a small token of regar4 from a particular friend." The object of his ap.. plication to the IN Llgiserate was, to obtain back the amount of carriage paid for this delectable pre. He was advised to apply to the coach owners, 'who would, no doubt, not lend their sanction to such a hoax. In ttle last American Papers is a copy of " the Bill reprted in the American Hoase of Repre sentatives for raising troops by the mode of Con scription.'' All the whole ionic inhabitants be tv.•een IS and 45 are to be classed into classes of 2a each, and every class is to furnish one able bodied Man to serve during the war. There are other bills, as our readers know, troth the intelli gence we eommunkated yesterday ; a bill to au thorise volunteer corps, and a bill to raise 40 re gitnenzs in addition In the regular military force now in existence.
