Ad s :l . :Aral YOUNG has nearly 20 sail, of the live besides frigates xvith him in the Roompar. The British Troops have invested the Fort of Bartz, which is expected to surrender immediately, and then they will proceed against Fort Lillo. Coq:- modore Owltr , has gone up the River above - 16 mile§ with abotit 400 marines, to assist in the re duction of Battz. The French are poUrinifresh troops into Walcheren every day, and are very ac tive in forifying the Island, all round. Some of our troops have intercepted .a letter from the Com mandant at Flushing; to the General at Antwerp, in which he says, if they do not speedily ~end him a suffidient number of troops, it will,be 'im possible for him to keep the Inhabitants quiet, and expresses the greateSt apprehensions lest the Bri tish shoUld effect a landing. • They seem to think we may take ail the Island except Flushing, which they consider 'as impregnable. The French have landed All the guns out of four of their frigates, to fortify .the places most liable to be ,attacked. All provisions are remarkably cheap. Bread, six loaves . of wh4e flour, and nearly as large as our half-quarters, cost only. 10d.—Ducks, is. a couple—Pigeons, 2s. per dozen,---Apples, ss. per sack—Hollands, I 6s. a tub, containing 4 gallons— Claret, Is. 3d. a bottle—RabbitS, five for a shil ling, and every thing else in ..proportior except.

" The performance at the Theatre, on the 24th, for the benefit of the unfortunate sufferers at Woer -den, produced 620 f. ; in this sum is iicluded a very handsome present from Lord CLANCAJITY ; nearly all the English in the Hague were present. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Sovereign Prince held a Levee, which was attended by nearly all the persons .of distinction in this place. Among the =fiber were, Lords CLANCARTY LEVESO.N aowEn. The Hereditary Prince has returned from his inspection of the troops on the Waal, the Maas, and the Lower Rhine. He gave audience to a considerable number of persons to-day. It is expected that he will again leave this for the army in.a day or two." The Hereditary Prince of ,ORANGE has recently paid _his respects to -Sir T. GRAHAM and the reEf of the British Officers at Tholen, inspecting the Military condition of the country through which he. proceeded. A very successful enterprize of the Cossacks under the walls of Hamburgb recently took place, which has not been noticed. DAVOUST has swept away about 8000 , houses, forming a subarls be tween Hamborgli and Altona, on which he order ed batteries to be raised. The inhabitants of Al tona .remonstrated very strongly agginst this,un dertaking, since the artillery, if planted and dis charged from thence, would inevitably destroy their town, DAvousT, however, was inflexible, and sent out of Hamburgh between four - and 500 workmen to accomplish his design. A body of Cossacks, however, under the orders of the intre pid Count LUNING, had penetrated to• the imme diate vicinity, and under the very walls of Hain burgh, within sight of the garrison, carried away as prisoners the workmen who hall just begun to open the trenches, without - the loss of a single lite on either side: . Some few -Cossacks have made an incursion as far as Mechlin, and brought off with them the Mayor, Prefect, and Magistrates of the place. The principal Prqissian force is in the neigh bourhood of ; the Cossacks near Thiel ; and the . Russians advancing through the country between Zutphen and Arnheirn. BuLow's head-quarters are at Orten, in - Peelland ; WIN ZINGERODE'S near Arnheim ; and Prince NARISH KIN'S, who commands his advanced-guard, at Ein merik. The French, either to exercise their recruits, or to obstruct the approaches, have formed an entrenched camp between Westwezel and Ant werp. ,LANGROI, the French Commander of Goreum, is said to he . of a most undaunted spirit, very cruel,' and not likely to have any consideration for the unfortunate inhabitants. Advices ofthe 25th tilt. from Antwerp, state the . number of the enemy at 15,000 men, besides .5000 more, Who were, stationed betweeh that town and Breda. The exchange, with England, which, on the 14th, Liras asf.9. 12, has fallen to f.B. 10. This is accounted for, by the great influx of 13z tish Paper, for which, as vet; there is little de mand. In a few weeks, however, the exchange will doubtless assume its former elevation. 1--WTLNGS 4N.,1.--Duriug the last week that the metropolis has been enveloped in fog And darkness, the town of Hastings and the neighbour hood, have enjoyed the most - clear and delightful atmosphere that 'was ever known at this season. Not a cloud, a nist, or a fog, has obsured the skv ; the horizon has been perfectly clear, and the mornings and evenings have borne that charm ing glow which we experience in September and ,October. On Friday, the last day of the old year, so mild and clear Was the air that the Parade was deserted, and parties ',found traversing the fields to the Lover's Seat, the Fish-ponds, and Fair light. From the heights to the eastward of the town, the coast of I.ranee was seen to a great extent, although at the distance of forty miles. At this time, we are informed, no object was vi sible in Lyndon at the distance of forty inches.

The Duke of Youx left London At four o'clock this morning. _ THE THEATRE. Last night a Lady, whose name, we timid', stand, is•SEymotra, and who, it is said, was re-.. commended to the Managers by L'ird ERSKINE,. appeared at Covent Qarden Theatre as Rolana, in the tragedy' of Alexander the _Great. or Miss SEYMOUR, for we could not foam whether, she leads '' a life of single blessedness," or enjoys. the happiness of the married state, was announced as a Ladywho never before appeared on any stage. If so, (and who can distrust the veracity of Ma nagers i) she possesses, without unbecoming- con-, fidence, that self-command which bas-, sis for theatrical success. Her person is by no means of that lofty make which. heroic character,s require, but she has a degree of spirit which may serve in some measure to atone for the delect: She is tolerably well formed, and has a marking . countenance, animated by an expressive eye. Rer performance of the tragic Termagant altogether was promising; and in characters that require a, less commanding figure, she may prove an acqui sition to the Theatre, particttiarly as her voice, though, not powerful, is ‘vell-toned.—There was a very numeroas audien;e, and the fair Candidate was will reoci'ved.. EFFECTS OF THE FOG. Many singular accidents and curious mistakes which.lnive occurred in consequence of the. heavy darkties3 in which we have been ft , r some titue involved, have already been statci to the public ; but the following, we have every reason to helieve,. are new : Lost in the mist, without being missed, All the Talents. They had been long on the decline, and wearing .away 'by a slow consumption, so as al most to resemble spectres, which probably ac-• counts for their total disappearance, remaining so completely unnoticed. , Lost their way from their respective places of abode, to attend the Sitting of Parham:lit, all, the Members of the Whig Opposition. The Ministerial men ,by means of a great light from Spain, and Ham-- beaux from the flame ot Moscow, renewed and trimmed at Leipsick, were enabled to see their road very clearly; while the poor Whigs, flours-. tiering on in the dark, tumbled.into plts and wan dered- into hogs, out of which those who. could extricate themselves, emerged such dirty and lu dicrous figures that, they were ashamed to be seen, and therefore skulked home again to hi - de them selves in the best manner they could. A Gazeteer an a Treatise on Geography made easy for the use of Preparatory Schools, miscar ried on their way to the Party Gazette Office, and the consequence has been increased blundering in the digieult science of Topography, • and the en-. gendering of an idea, that 1200 men had deserted in France, who were in fact . only stationed by Lord Wellington nearest to the enemy. A speeeii intended for another occasion was formed by Sir James Mac Intosh, While loo%ing carefully after a book entitled . Vindicte which . he had some time dropped and forgotten. He was so delighted with his good luck ti' he, immediately groped his way to the House of Com mons, and fortunately arriving just as it was'going to rise, delivered .the sueech. ‘Vaithman, the \;ity orator, and Mr. Ro bins, an orator ot another description., ran foul of, eachother in Fleet-sti-eet, and a dreadful email sion of heads ensued. Happily, however, there was no material injury sustained, though Mr. W. was very fairly knocked down. • Owiug to the extreme density of the norms-. phere a great many " early Friends" neglected to shew their attention by sending the usual Christmas remembrances, 'and - the lives of many turkies Were thus miraculously preserved. Mr. Whitbread managed, in spite of the obscu rity in he was involved, to pick out the nearest path to Drury-lane Theatre, where, bor- Towing. Mr.. Arnold's spectacle's,• he selected a few pieces for representation ; but, unluckily, saw so indistinctly, that he mistook a parcel of bail fora packet of good Dramas, which the public, haying better optics, d—d accordingly. A dog lost his proper track and strayed into Drury-lane Theatre, where he unexpectedly ap peared on the stage... The great fogs which have prevailed for so many days have much retarded the arrival of the mail coaches in various parts of the Kingdom, and much inconvenience has ensued therefrom to public correspondence.
