NETTS 0 , LONDON, FEBRUARY 12, 1801. THE Public attention being anxiously direted to tile Arraugemeuts now going forward, we have to inform our Readers that the intelligence we communicated to them yesterday, we have good reason to believe will prove corredt. We now learn, that-the Hon. Mr. PELHAM will pro. bably fill some efficient situation in the Cabinet, and that . Mr. ABBOT will be included, as he well deserves to be, in the arrangement. Sir W. Cur is to be Master of the Rolls. We have every reason to believe, that Mr. ADDING. Tam has quitted the Chair, which he filled so ho. nourably for twelve years, without having made any sort of terms either for himself or his Fa. may ; and that no advancement whatever has been even thought of for those Gentlemen who 'are the . most closely connected with him, who were before in Office, such as Mr. H. Animus. Toy and Mr. BLAGGS 3 who will probably both remain in their former situations.—This, if true, needs no comment. We will just add, that it is impossible it should be known that Earl Sr. VINCENT should have refused the Office of First Lord of the Ad. rniralty, as stated in some Morning Papers of yesterday, because there could not then have been time for an answer to have been received from him, 'he being at Torbay, and supposing him (which is highly probable), Yo have been ap plied to, to fill that high Office.--Lord EI,DoN twill itintioubtedly be Chancellor.

On Sunday night last the dwelling-house of Mr.Munn, of Hammersmith, was attempted to be, broken open in five different places, but as Messrs. Munn and Salter keep a watchman well armed constautlyptroling about their premises, it is, supposed his appropelt alarmed the thieves, ,and revered them from effecting their. purpose.

On the following morning only one of the Fleet was to be seen : nor did she discover any part of the French Squadron afterwards ; on the 3d inst. the Hamilton encountered a very heavy gale of wind, which did her considerable damage ; the ship was in the greatest.distress on her arrival here, the pumps being ehoaked, an,l her sails and rigging greatly disabled: PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 11.

This window is one of those of the magazines which aie established in that part under the Gallery of the Museum.

Cavent.G.lrdek. A rtew Comedy I.,(rtis brought fotivaid last night LI Ida the title of The Poor Gentleman. DRAMATIS PERSONS. Sir Robert Bramble, - Dr. Lieut. Worthington, - Farmer Harrow Wheel, Young Harrow Wheel, Sir Charles C roplanu, Corporal; II umphry, . , Frederick. Bramble, Lady Lucretia M'Tab, Mrtiluwcor Mr. FA t., Mr. MURRAY. Mr. 'isOWNIHENLIt. Mr. Erst,ty. Mr. F.4.tz.Y. Mr. WADDi. Mr. LEwrs. NIAT rocx.s. Emily Worthington, - Mrs. Girths. Dame Harrota-Wheel, - Mrs. POWELL. The Plot of this Comedy is chiefly founded upon the retirement of Lieutenant Worthington into a farm-house with his daughter, his sister-in-law (an old maid), and an honest Corporal. Sir Charles Cropland, aili , Sipatedihan of fashion, nas conceived dishonourable designs upon Emi ly Worthington, and plans a scheme to takkher off; but, just at the moment or execution, he is prevented by Ere derickßramble, a young man Of'Spifat;Alle son of an English merchant in Russia,_ amt nepheN of Sic Robert - Bramble, a rich Baronet in Kent, where the scene of action lies.. Lieutenant Worthington is in great distress, but has all the pride ola Gentleman; - and is anxious to conceal 'hits indigence. Sir Robert Bramble, who is very benevolent, determines to relieve him. .He and his servant Ifutnphry Wilt upon Worthington, and are taken by the latter tor a bailitland his tolloWer. • • A scene of ludickats equivorpec takes place on this occasion. Sir Charles Cropland chart, tinges Frederick Bramble for the spirited language he ut tered when Emily was rescued from the profligate viewk. of the former. They meet on the ground, but` Worthing.: tun, having heard of the insult which has been Allied to his daughter, and being apprzhensive that Frederick may, • be involved in a duel, hastens to the spot, and reproaches Sir Charles with so much energy, that the latter oc•comea sensible of his crime and apologizes for his contlud. Sir Robert Womble, in quality of Sheritrof the County, had discharged the debt which threatens continement to the Lieutenant, and, with the concurrence of the latter, Emily Worthington is married to Frederick Bramble, who had become enamoured of her after he hadproteded her from the violence of Sir Charles, and who had touched her he-art with gratitude and affection. We have here merely given an outline of the Fable, having no room to enlarge ort the Comic episodes which are blended with the main plot.— The chief Comic Charatter is 011a-Pod, who is by p'rofession an Apothecary and Man-midwife, but who• assumes the character of a Sprtrnstrn, and is Cornet in a j'olunteer ilfsocintion. This motley mixture ofeharafters, is. very diverting. Frederick Bramble is a compounti , of gaiety and sentiment, and he also is a principal character in the piece. Young. iiarroetv.knyeel.oiend9 the Far. rarer and the-Soldier o and highly contributes to the Comic scenes. -,bert'J3ranible, mpith a con_ tentious spirit, is truly benevolent, but too much prone to argument 4 Nis . servant .11umphry is a faithful, lblunt,humaurist.7 - Lniret;‘, Mcfeib ii an old maid, dependent on the Lieutenant, but full of family pride. • These are the principal Charaaers of the Piece, which is compoied of pathetic and ccinic scenes, • , and which, on the whole, - is a very interesting and entertaining COmedy. The Audior trod on tender ground when he formed the charaaer'of Qlla-Pod, by render.. ing him ridiculous as.a ro/unteer, he was in clan- gir of exciting the resentment of thoe Military Associations which do honour to our Country.-- It, is evident, however, that he had no such design, and <onty intended . to ,sketch a ludicrous 'cliaraaer, unfit for such a situation. In-making time Young Farmer also-a Soldier, the Author has reFeated his own joke, but the e'en is by no Means lessened by the repetition. .011 a. Pod fe'Cts jocularity, and has two'plirases which were often . used "with good ,effdt. When : he gives what concei.vesa str oke of wit, he always ex claims do . you take P" ,and when he hears one, he says " thank you, I awe you one.", The Play, on the whole, is " moral and enter. tamping," and is admirably performed throughout. —Lawn; exhibited all his spirit andmuch feeling in Fret,crlik. Aw c Err was, uncornmonty sue» cessful in 011a-Pod, and deservedly excited great applause, My rinEN rendered Old Bramble very conspicuous, and afled with great feeling and a fine expression of thy humour.. ,WADDy exhibit. ed a whimsical bluntness. in fistsphry. KNIGHT its the Corporal, thid E .t l4 ity in the Young Farmer, were both excellent. Mrs, MATTOCKS gave the Maiden Aunt with true adherence to life, and Mrs. Grass was very affeaing in Emily. The Author of this Comedy is Mr. COLMAN, and it is not unworthy of his dramatic character. It was received with hearty 'applause by a very numerous audience, aruPannounced for this even_' ing with their entire consent. The Prologue was spoken by BETT RION ; the Epilogue, something ,like that to The Heir at Lama, was delivered by several of the char:Att.!. CRAPTA I. has lately discovered a new method of bleaChing cotton, by the vapour of fixed at kali. This has been put in prattler at an esta blishment, by C. BAW aNS, who bleaches 2 or 3000 ells of Cloth daily, by using only 3olbs. of soda, and the work of one man. Dr. Au a EILT 3 (the Gentleman who was corn.. missioned from the Institute, at Paris, to exa.. mine into the merits of the Vaccine Inoculation, rs practised in England) has lately published, at Paris, an excellent Treatise on this Subjedl, coin posed with great care, written with much good sense; and snowing a very accurate and impartial examination into this interesting branch of the Healing Art. If the French have furnished us with the lighter parts of our Drama, as Operas, Farces, and After. pieces, we have, in return, added considerably to their Catalogue : liontro and 7uliet, Othello, and Hony 11111. are now perforrning'on their Theatres with the greatest applause. The new Piece forth-coming at Drury-lane Theatre, under the title of Dtafa'ld Dumb, has, we arc informed, been as erroneously ascribed to a Mr, tint. ai to Mr. KEMD LE. The Piece itself is said to possess a strung inte;e3t, of the pathetic kind; mingled with many incidents truly comic. There, seems to be little doubt of its success, according to Green-room report. There is a gang of shcep.stealers about 14wick enham, who,. have commuted great depredations of late in tha: neighbourhood without btin4 dos teeted.
