BtRNE, SErr. 2.—The last letters from Milan announce, that French Troops are arriving there every day, by the way of Mount Cenis and the Piedmontese Departments, while others are advanc ing upon Genoa and Leghorn. Several regiments in the service of the Italian Republic have likewise had orders to march to the Coast. It is to be remarked that the French Troops that were cantoned along the Frontiers of the late Ter. ritory of Venice have been withdrawn, without be. ing replaced, which proves sufficiently clearly that no misunderstanding exists between Austria and France. General ST. CYR has received some rein. forcements in the Kingdom of Naples. THE GOTTENBURGH MAIL. GOTTtNBURCH, SIPT. have had a very heavy gale ut wind from the Westward for some days; the home..vard.bound Convoys for London, Hull, and Leilr, hive been obliged to pot into this port ; the King George PdCket, SAUNDERS, and the Prince of Wales, HEARN, have also been obliged to return ; a Prussian Vessel from Memel has been lost near the Witiga, anti an English Vessel is said to be on shore upon the Kidny. SEPTEMBIR 6.—The Russian Fleet which is coming to crutze in these Seas, consisting of three Sail of the Line, three Frigates, and a Cutter, has (owing to the late strong gales of westerly winds) been obliged to put into Spalchman, a harbour 24. English miles from here ; the Cutter is untortu. nately dismantled. Some of the Officers from this Fleet came here, and immediately sent two Officers of the English Ships of War laying in the harbour, beggiUg permission to pay their respeCts to them. The Convoys for Hull, Leith, and London, and the lithe Frigate, the Henry Cutter, and the Brig Charles, ate still detained here by, the westerly winds. THE THEATItli.—The season commenced last flight at Covent. Garden Theatre with the Comedy of jam )14//, and the musical farce of The Farmer. The Performers were received with strung marks of public favour as they respeaively entered, particu larly LEWIS, •FAWCETT, MURRAY, and ROCK. COOKE was not returned from Ireland, and therefore the part of Peregrine was assigned to MUR LAY. ROCK displayed a pleasant broad humour in the Irish Landlord. Mr. H. SIDDONS played the part of Frani Rochdale. In the farce, INCLEDON oh. tained very great applause on his entrance: MUN. DEN also had a favourable notice. His Jemmy jumps was too much of a caricature in performance, as well as dress. The Theatre has been painted of a lighter colour, and some addition* have been made to its ornamental parts, but not to lessen the beautiful simplicity of the whole. The Royal Arms, very splendidly embellished, are placed in the front of the second tier of boxes. The House was very well attended, and the Dramatic Repre. sentations went off with good effea. The Scarborough Theatre is going on very suc. cessfully under the vandal of STEPHEN KEM3LE. His own FalstaL which Was so well received in London, has of course been very attraftive in the Country. Mrs. KEMaLE'S health is perfealy re. established, and she is a powerful support to the Company. Miss Dtmcdor is positively engaged for Drury. lane Theatre, Gut is nut to make her appcdrance till next month. The Drury. Lane Managers contend for the pri. ority of their claims to the Juvenile Rosciub. The blame, it is said, is upon the friends of this Thea. trical phenomenon, who concluded a treaty with Covent-Garden before they had given an answer to the proposals of, Drury.lane. If the Managers cannot " Take , him and cut him into littlestars," They will probably cumptointle the putter, erg' Outie him alternately. murr.in g I'm MA Jr,TY, with the ES Of CeNii t K LAND and Sussrx, rev ietved the German L-gion, and seeaked highly delighted with their soldir_r_iilte appearance. :After the review, His tvlAyLsly gave At Officers a dinner at the Hotel and King's Anus.

The arrival of the Royal visitor was announced by a signal, to the Fort, and the Frigate in the river, from which a Royal Salute was in.. surlily fired. An immense concour , e of people attended to welcome his approach ; and His Royal Highness appeared in excellent health and spirits, and highly gratified with the attention and loyalty with which he was greeted.

And the nest morn. ing he undertook, for the same wager, to ride to town in the 40 tninutes ; which he won, but not without great difficulty, having only a few seconds to spare. Yestzrday morning, about one or two o'clock, the Starch Manufactory of Mr. Keating, at the rear of Great Britain.street, accidentally took fire, and owing to the difficulty of procuring water, the ex tensive and valuable machinery, and a quantity of starch and wheat were speedily consumed.

The gibbet on which Haynes and Clark were sus. speeded, on Hounslow Heath, was on Tuesday last taken down, and a hole about nine feet deep dug, into which the skeletons were thrown and coveted up. The cause of removal, we find, was the vast injury done to the crops of the prtprictor of the land oa which the gibbet stood, from the trespassing of persons approaching to view it. On Sunday last, in Bedford-square, the Lid). of Lieutenant-Colonel GRIFEITH, of the lit Regiment of Foot Guards, was safely deliveted of a Son. Dird o .on Sunday morning last, at Brighton, Ro.

Leslie, was indiled fur having obtained, on the zoth of January last, under false pretences, from Mrs. Elizabeth Helmsley, a silver pencil case, a silver thimble, and a pair at scissors. The Pro. secutrix stated, that on the day mentioned in the Indidment the Prisoner came into her shop, and picked out articles, amounting in all to the value of 81. Jos. The silver pencil case, thimble, and scis sors, he took with him from the shop, arid desired the remainder of the articles, with a note of the whole, to he sent at five o'clock the same evening to the Hon. Mr. Leslie, at General Leslie's, Stable. yard, St. James's, where the amount of the bill would be paid. The Shopman did carry the articles agreeably to the address left, but no such heron as the Hon. Mr. Leslie, or Gen. Leslie, were found to reside there. She had no doubt as to the person of the Prisoner. The Shoptnan of the Prosecutrix corroborated her testimony. Finding that a wrong address had been given, and desir,us of ending our the proper place, if by chance any mistake had occurred, he inquired out the residecee of General Leslie, and found that it was in Duke-street. He was there cmivinced that it was a fraudulent business, being informed that the General had no person of his family in town. A young Gentleman, who was present when the Prisoner wAs apprehended, proved, that the name which he then assumed, and which he gave in at the Watch-house, was James Nl , rely. He a.su pro. diced a shoe, which the Prisoner lost in attempting t escape, made rather in a novel stile, having an aperture in it seemingly calculated for the purposes of concealment. When asked if he had any questiong to put to the two first Witnesses, the Prisoner answered that he had not. He had a Witness in Court who could prove that at the period they had deponed to, and for a considerable time previous to it , tie tiva,, Out of the kingdom. In proof of this faa he adduced Wm. Ryder, who stated that he belnngel ro Greenwich College. That he knew the Prisoner, whose name was James Johnston : that he had suc. seeded the Witness as Lieutenant'. Steward alao,ra His Majesty's Ship the Repulse; and that to his certain knowledge the Prisoner had never been over that Ship's side from the end of November or he. ginning of Decemher, when he was brought on. board, tilt the r6ih March last, when the Witness obtained his discharge and left the Ship. lie, in evidence of the truth of his statement, produced his discharge, signed by Captain Lake, of the Replier. A person of the name of Mountain also came for., wa r d to prove, that during this period he had seen letters from the Prisoner to a Lady, &red from on board the Repulse; but nothing intelligible could be colleted from his evidence. The RECORDER addressed the Jury, and at some length stated the citc IMStanCeS and 14W 01 WC Case. The Jury, after retiring for a short time, found the P.risuner—Not Twelve were convicted of felony, and eleven acquitted. The same day sentence was passed, when Themas Slater, Robert Brown 'Prentice alias Lilo Brown, JOsepn Lloyd, John Kemp, 'Mo rris L 0r ,,,, , John "Tibbs, Thomas Webb alias Dear, se. , verally received jlidgme n t of Death.

In the course of a veil , minute cross.ex a . mination by Mr. Ar.i.rY, every Witness was found to dilf:r trom another in the account of the same transaction, so that the evidence tor the Prisoners was completely invalidated. The Prisoners were all found Guilty, and remand. rd until a future day to receive Judgment.- Ilarriet Brown, tp hcrwi se Cl ar h , a pretty, gen.. reel-looking girl, about tS years of age, was iti , ll:!i. rd for a mistl , meanour, in obtaining goods from Mr E.
