E. Coro . snt-Car dell: Tuz Play of The Stranger was represented for the first time last night at this Theatre, for the benefit of Mr. Coots, and we were very glad to find that this admired Perfornier tVa, able tn derive something more from public, approbation than barren praise. '!'he House was full in every part ; and though Mr. Cooke very evidently la. limited under the effects of his recent illness; he exerted himself in such a manner as to give a stiong interest to the charailer of the melancholy and inisanthropic Hero of the Piece. He was indeed very hoarse, and it will be wise in the Manager to let so attratlive a Perfornier rest a few nig►hts, in order td confirm his recovery. Mr. Cooxt habited the chara&er in the man ner originally adopted by Mr. Kemp r, whose taste in pieturesque mown" his competitors will d 6 Well to imitate. We have hitherto forborne all comparison between Mr. KEMBLE and Mr. C6oitv, as their qualities arc essentially different, and we shall not therefore enter into any com parison on the present occasion. The Stranger IS one of MNIIII.R'S most successful atchieve. ments, and it inipiies no ordinary share of merit in any man who can follow the steps of so able a Performer, and display striking proofs of original merit. We shall reserve our notice of the oilier Per formers to a future opportunity, as the eklithie.ion of last night can in fad hardly be considered as more than the final rehearsal. There could not be higher credit to talents, than an Audience which produced a gross sum of 5601. unless it be the grateful liberality of the Management, which most unexpededly directed that it should be a Free Benefit. The Masters and Wardens of the Bakers' Com pany waited on the LORD MAYOR yesterday, at Guildhall, to set the Assiie of Bread, (there being no court of Aldermen for want - of a suffi cient number . olAldermen to form a Court); the Mealweighers' Reports being examined, and it appearing, that 12,0+9 Sacks of fine Flour, sold at the Corn Exchange between the r7th and 23d inst. upon an average of' t z7s. per,Sack, which was a considerable advance since the pre ceding Reparti : • His Lordshiptirdered the Bretid to be raised two Assizes, er 'Foni-pence' in the Peck Loaf, to commence to=morrow---the Quartern Loaf will then be sold for : ls. gcL•and continue in force until Saturday next, when the Assize of the•Suendiati Wheaten Bread will be set, and no fine Bread will be made.'

I .have been confinea for twenty-two months, with a degree of rigour very unusual even fin condemned persons, and that too in a Country where professions of gene rosity and of attachment to prikiples are =de — in a Country where all rigour, which is not ne cessary to secure the per:am of a Prisoner, is se verely reprehended by the Law. " They impute it to me as a crime, -that I obeyed the orders of my Commanders. They reproach me particularly with the affair of Tou lon, though they have since received, in a friend. ly manner, three of the persons who signed the orders Which I executed. Yon cannot approve of this vengeance, which they exercise against an individual, and I addieSs myself to your con fidence, begging you to put an end to ibis perse cution. You have rob elevated a soul not to per ceive on which side the superiority rests, between a patient ViEtim and a pitiless Oppressor. You will feel that the National' Honour is interested in not crushing a disarmed and conquered Ene thy under the weight of a resentment, founded perhaps upon the exagerated reports of weak men, who have deceived the Government by re presenting me as a dangerous Monster, in 'order to justify either their fears or their cruelty.— I am ready to enter into an explanation of all the fables which have been invented respeding me daring the time I have been deprived of 'the means of refuting them, not doubting'but that a simple - Statenient: of Falls, would convince - you that I isave done •no More than a French Soldier would .ha :'e done in my place. • • f! in thus. pleading . My cause, I plead that of all rho. French Officers in England, who will Aid fer by retaliation, since the French Government has cst.thlished it as a principle, that an Oilio:r may be pani.lied for obeying the orders of his Superior. 1 ‘ The Commander in Chief • of the Army of England, must feel himself interested in operating towards putting an end to such a sys. rein, which would expose his brethren in Arms to useless sufferings, and which would give rise to feelings foreign to the Military eharader. I do not limit my request to a. mere mitigation of my fate. Your Countrymen in prison await, with impatience, no doubt, the Honour of serving tinder a General who is the favourite of ViOory. It is in the same manner natural, that an English Prisoner should be ardently desirous, of. serving against him, and of defending his Country, Agaimt such valiant Munnies. • (Signed) « W. FiIDNEY To this Letter no reply was given. BON PARI E on reading it said, " if he were my:Pri. soner I would do him justice, but it seems they wish to make a viaim of him." BAR RAI declar. ed one day, when speakingof Sir SIDNEY SMIIH, that it would be better to shoot him than to treat him in that manner. We saw on Monday several. Papers consider ing it • as certain that the ICING of PausSlA had taken an aftive and • decided part .in the Northern Confederacy, because it was, stated, in the lifoniteur, that his Minister at Peter:. burgh had, Ott the t7th December, acceded to the., Treaty ,which was concluded ,on the pre. ceding day between the three Maritime Powers of the North. The Afemitear asserts it : It is ,an Official Journal ; therefore it is true. Such is, with very little to the credit of their sagacity, the. reasoning of some of our Cotemporaties. A small degree of attention might have been sufficient to have made them sensible that the Muiteur is citify Official as to the public ads of the Government; which it is the first to pub-, lish ; and ink to the intelligence ueder the Paris head. In other respals this Paper, like all Others, tcopiie the Ar t iehis limb the Foreign Journals, without pretending, to giie them as Official.— That Of whith Speak relative ti? the Treaty in citiesticini• and to the accession of Prussia to it, was from Ptirrshurgh s and not froth Poi.c, and was given merely as an i.sctrad 'from a - Foreign Paper.

The grounds Linen wnkh this motion was made were twiati:d,that the evidenCe of a Gentleman, of the came of was stOpt by, the Lord Chief justice, when he. was' going' PS describe the agitatiee it, wl.,eh found Mrs . . Hoare, and what aoi l et ye to Mr: Hoere just before Mrs: Hoare went aiv,:y •11.orn her hand's house, by it would have appeared that the 94 . 14 of her going from home; as agreed tipon•lietween her husliaoil and bet, was to " gnt to her uncle; Mr. Cook ;" and thatit was Upon that conditiOn, and,that condition only, that Mr. Hoare consented to her going from his'house. at all ; whereas, by Stopping that evidence short ) and preventing biS telling that part of the Case, it appeared as if 'Mr. Hoare had 'consented that his ivite should fly into the arms of her Adulte » rer—than which nothing was more distant frona; the Plaintiff's thought ; it was true. that she did meet the Defendant; and that they had been gether since, lint that was by no consent of Hoare. The next point upou a mis-direelion of the. Noble And Learned _ledge, to the jury in point of Law. lie had the highest respeei that .could be entertained, as iedted every body .had, for the learning and judgment, as well as inte.. ' 'grity, of the Lord chief- justice, 40; he sub. mitted that the direCtion given by his Lordship,. that the jury Ought to find a verdi& for the De. fendant was contrary to Lay; and he contended, that after the AdUltery waiprovedoiething,shot; of an a&ual and corrupt consent to that Adulte, ry, on the part of the Plaintiff, could take away his right to a verdit:t. . . The cases quoted by his. Lordship were those of Theophilus Gibber, :tad Esten,' against 'the Duke of Hamilton. They bore no reseMblance to the-present. In the first, the Plantiff was' the pander of his.wile's lust, for he provided pillows:' for the bed in which the adultery was cOmmitted. • In 'the second,' the .husband had executed Articles of Separation, in which there was girt otiire!,s •Ciatisei allowing his wire to . live in adultery wlth any body ;'upon which, it had been said, that she was a loose fish, anti any bodysmightehate bar» pooped her:---but here there was no consent what ,•ever on the pare of the Plaintiff; for his cote;cot to the.going away of his wife from his house was for. the eStpress purpose ;of her going to 'wrikle ' 'that she afterwards went to the Defendant was no fault of the Plaintiff, but was the common enis.
