Tl-lc"" . MA I.Z. 11A7M;kult.CH, MANCH. 3*. TH E Senate received, on the z,4,th instant, ,frem• its Envoy at Berlin, the unexpected intelligence that I-Us PRUSSIAN MAIESTY' bad notified to that in consequence of the particular state of affairs, the Prussian Troops would be, in a short rime, ob. liged to occupy a part of th e Territory belonging CO this City. It is certain that the King added to this comm. : itication, the most satisfadory assurances with re sPta, to:the objets of the measure, and at the same • time) prbraiisecl that . the independence of this City • would bc : nninjured, its Commerce ptoteeled, and the burdens .necessarily occasioned by the entrance of Foreign Troops, alleiiiatedin every possible degree. The Senate, notwithstanding these assurances, made 'very- strong and pathetic remonstrances with respeCt V.O the incunveniencies and trouble likely to result fforn the execution of the h two's intention, and ex pressed sanguine hopes that they would . be the more favourably attended to, as their Cbarpi d'Ajra;res ha ja m med them, in .his disp atebes of the 26th, that the. measure was not to. he , speedily carried 10 1 4 circa . The Senate was, however, most seriously ,alarm ed by receiving the unexpeEted intelligence that Pritice CHARLES of H•esst• intentted to take posses. sion of the City, with the Danish Troops' under his comalarA - . : The Senate instantly dispatched Deputies to the Printe: aTrtfa ► irtitt, to make the . itwst urgent re.

But every exertion proved'ftuitless, and the-Deputies stated on their :iettun,' that,the Prince . head der,lated , to them hil resolution of appearing be: fore the.

Some: a single Chaloupe comes close to the shore at Gilleleve and Hornbeck, to buy prOViiioni. An Etiglish Transport, with a quantity of powder and bombs, and an English Cutter-brigi have been brought into Gothenburg. The greatest willingness prevails amongst the Danish Subjeas, and the inhabitants of this capital, to come forth for the defence of their Country, The Students of our University have expressed a wish to afford their assistance ; and our beloved Prince has thanked them for their generous offer, and informed them in his Address, that the King, his father, has accepted their services. The King has direaccl that these young Gentlemen shall be furnished with arms, that they shall form a distinet Corps, whose duty shall'be the detente of the .

A Volunteer Corps of Chasseurs has also been formed, which will be commanded by the Chamber lain of Holstein. The Merchants of this place have subscribed 4155 rix.dollars for promoting the de. fence of the Country. ANOZHIR LETTER, SAME DATE. The English who landed at Gil/dere and Ran. b e ck for .fresh water, behaved themselves in an or derly and decent manner. As the English have not yet 4.(tenyted to pass the Sound, our works of defence ‘dill be put into the Most perfea state. We are assured that the Danish Merchant Ships sailing from and to the Sound, are suffered to pass freely through the'Eoglish Fleet. • Several popular Songs are sung every evening at the Theatre, relative to the present circumstances, and calculated to rouse the zeal of the Peiple in be half of their Country and Government. ELSINEUR, Aimtcit 26. Tut Russian Fleet from Revel is soon expe&ed in the Road of Copezhagen. The day before yesterday the English Fleet weighed anchor, sailed towards the West, but re turned in the evening, and now lies somewhat nearer to Ettbreor. The Fleet was manoeuvring the whole of yesterday, and late in the evening was under sail. The English, however, are badly off; Nature itself appears to be against their plan—for the four last days the wind has been Southerly. We have .heard ra cannonade from the Road of Cotenhagen. MARCH 29. Altbpugh the wind blew hard from the North West during the whole of the 2+th instant, and consequently was favourable to the English, if they wished to pass the Sound, yet they remained where they were. The circumstance of their not having availed 'themselves of this wind, causes some to think that they are waiting either for new orders or reinforcements from England. Perhaps they did not expel that the last dispatches from England would be received by our Government in the man. ner they were. The loss of the Invincible, which had on board a , great quantity of stores, has also been felt by them. HELSINBOURG, MAR cn 24. His Swedish Majesty arrived here this morning. The English Fleet cruizes beforvhe Sound, but has not made any attempt to pass , c t not has had any communication with the Swedish4ole, We have received certain accounts, that ati,E4ish Brig, which, in a thick fog, had got under the cannon of the Fortress of Marburg, had been taken possession of. This is a recompense for the loss of the Swe dish Frigate Ulla Fer:en, which we learn has been captured by the English Frigate Dowd. The English. Brig has two' t¢-pounders and ten if/- pounders. STOCKHOLM, MARCR 20. Talicola, which has set in here with snow and hail, 'is so severe .as to interrupt the' work of the men in the doek-yaid. The chief part of our arma ment is, however, already in the road, consisting of so sail, under the command of Vice-Admiral Roses- ST R I N. All the gun-boats carry 36-pounders.f The Bth of April is fixed for the embarkation of the Troops. A most melancholy circumstance occurred on Monday in the neighbourhood of Southampton.--A very decent looking womanarrived on that after-, noon in.the cowes Packet, from the Isle of Wight, and soon after set off in a returned post-chaise fbr Winchester; but she had no stoner left the town than she severed her head from her body • and had not the driver of a waggon passing by .discovered the blood, and alarmed the postilion, it is probable the latter would not . have knowii` the circumstance until his arrival at Winchester - . The chaise was at the time near four miles from Sotithaniptcon. The unfortUnate woman, whose age appeared ,to be not less tha*n 60, had been housekeeper near fourteen 'years to a very respectable family in the Isle of Wight l and who, on leaving it, had expressed a wish that she should accompany them ; but a love affair with aluteber who afterwards slighted her, is_ s u il ;„, posed to be the real and only cause of her committ ing this rash action. She was brought back to the Dolphins, at Southampton, her head nearly off. The Mary Ann, Grear, from New-York for Montserratr, , is lost ttcat Bermuda . l crew saved. TIIEJTRES. cog-mit:o'Garden. A REW WAY TO PAY' OLD DEBTS.' Mr. Co oic I appeared fdr the second time, last night, in the . char-after of Sir Giles-Over-reach, a charafter 'very well fitted for the display of his powers, and which he has obviously studied with great care. His - arrogance with his dependants, was well contrasted - with his fawning courtesy to his equals and superiors. . . - Though this Coinedy possesses great merit in point of sentiment, delineation, and variety of cha, rafter, yet the ; transitions are too abrupt and im probable) particularly in the part of Sir Gilgit, whose contempt and cruelty towards his nephew Well-bon, are too rapidly succeeded by professions of kindness and affefticm ) when he iupposed that the.. fortune of his nephew is improve& ; With all the interested depravity of life, this suddem transition is too inartificial and gross a departure twin VCIiSi- Rut this h the fault of the Author, and this fault was in a great measure concealed 'by the skill and management of Co OKE, who gave a speci ous colouring to the whole, which rendered it cha-. •raaeristic and consistent. He was much and de servedly applauded- throughout. LEWIS gave the thonghtless, generous, and spirited charafter of PI/ell-born with all requisite ease, animation and feeling. The part of . Mar-all was admirably sustained by MCNDIN. His slavish , submission to Sir Gil e s, • and obsequious attention to Well-born, were pro perly discriminated and given with a dry comic humour, very creditable tohis judgment and talents. SIMMONS, who is a very improving Performer, was sufficiently diverting • in the part of Justice Greed', and his only fault was his mode of address inzr what he said,' , rather to the audience than - to the a other charaders of the scene, a fault that in. deed pervaded the whole of his acting last night. Miss CHAPMAN, who always displays good sense and a proper estimate of. charafter, rendered Lad) All-worth respeaable and-Conspicuous. The part of ?vlargaret is not well drawn. • 'ln the earlier sernes":sl* exhibits delicacy, feeling, and a proper abhorret4e of ' the hypocrisy and arti fice of her father, yet, she afterwards takes a very aaive'and subtle part against him, in order to ac. complish her marriage with Allwortb. Such as the charaiaer is, however, it was supported in a very. interesting manner by Miss MURRAY. Though there are certainly inconsistencies in the charaters of this Play, and defects in the condua of the Plot, yet it abounds with strong sentiment, bold :ivres, diversified incidents, and comprises an im ?reaive moral. The influence of Mr. COOKE'S reputation was visible in a numerous Audience, who seemed to be highly entertained with a Cornea) , which must be ranked with some of the best Works of old English Genius, and which, throughout, has the support of such Theatrical tal ents ' as do justice to its intrinsic merits. Dry/ - L ant. TRIO-louse last night presented an uncommon scene of uproar and confusion. Tbe Play announced was The Country Girl, and a numerous Audience had assembled to see Mrs. JORDAN in her ftvourite charaCter. But before the curtain drew up, Mr. BARRYMORE came forward, and intimated that. as Mrs. JORDAN had been taken suddenly ill, the part of Miss Pegg) would be sustained by Mrs. HAR tows. Nothing was heard but hisses and groans fsom every part of the House, and Mr. BARRYMORE and Mr. C. KENIBLE in vain attempted to proceed with the performance. The former Gentleman ad dressed the Audience again and again, j)ut to no effed. They still hooted, and insisted upon their money being returned. At last he came forward, for about the'seventh time, and after protesting that neither Mr. KEMBLE nor any of the Proprietors were to be found, said, that one only resource remained—on the part of the Aaors he most earnestly. entreated that the performance . tight be allowed to go on : they cvere'the Servant s of the Public, and looked to the Public' for indulgen ce and patronage. The ap peal was succeSsful f ,itid about half past seven tran quillity was restore. Mrs. HAaLows was very favourably received ; and, making the necessary al lowances, she certainly did herself great credit. , It is expeeted ) that Lord ELDON Will recei‘o the Seals in the course of the ensuing week.
