DOVER, MAR CO 13.—Owing to' the great fall of snow experienced upon the road, the Mail-coach from London did not arrive here till near eleven o'clock this morning, and the Mail which went from here last night went from Canterbury at seven o'clock, having been obliged to stop at the Half-way House, all the snow being drifted in piOces as high its mountains. The Guard endeavoured to niake his . Way through the snow with the Mail on horseback, but was nearly suftbcated in the attempt. CHATHAM, MARCH 9.—ln getting the Fitiory into dock, .on Thursday last, the after tackle on each side broke away, and on being refixed the same , circumstance occurred again ' - tide lOwering and the strain being very great, the attempt of getting her farther into dock on -f that day was given up. The next day (Friday) she was hove up to the pro per distance in a very short time ; ah accommoda tion laelder was then fixed to her side, and a great nutnber of 'spectators went on board. On the guar..' ter -deck somebody has described, with chalk, the Very place where Lord NELSON fell. The copper 3 hPathin,,6 - is already stripped off her bottom. , The Resolution sailed to-day from Long Reach to the Nore. _ _ A new Brig was yesterday talcen into the Mast- Pond-Bason, and completely coppered 'in the course of the tide, and then put out again. About ten o'clock on Thuriday morning, the Brier Sally, of Belfast, was , driven On`shore opposite to the b f9rt at Ayr. When she struck, the sea was break ing over her nearly mast high. Mr. WALLACE. jun. launched a Boat from the Beach, and, accompanied 11y JAMES MAXWELL, ANDREW M`CALLUM, SAM. WHARRIE, JAMES GOOD, and WILLIAM WILSON, Went off to her, and, at a considerable risk, suc ceeded in getting the crew and passengers ashore. The Vessel flow lies with. her broadside .to the sea, and 'her sails almost frittered to rags. She was bound from Greenock to Belfast with goods, and had put into Lamlash, from whence she was forced from her anchors in the storm on Wednesday night —A re cruiting party of the 27th or Enniskillen Reginient of Foot, with two Officers, were on board, who escaped with the loss of their baggage. BONAPARTE says, " My People will have no new, burthens to bear," and, indeed, it: he draws his re sources froni the plunder of other States; he may Well spare his own people._ But other States. will be in time exhausted,, and then who will be obliged to ‘upport the enormous burthens which a prodigal Usurper, his family, and his militaiy hordes, lay upon de, enewte and hopeless people IMPROMPTU, ittN TILE APPOINTMENT OF WALTE,R SCOT, ESa. TO .BE A CLERK SESSION IN SCOTLAND. AND so the Poet, WALTER SCOT, Has something gain'd to boil the pot— • On this Appointment all agree, since WORTiI and GENIUS are Scot-free. THEATRICAL FEUD. AFTER the new Comedy last night, ,at Covent- Garden , Theatre, FAWCETT came forward to inform the audience that, on account of the .indisposition of COOKE and Mrs. HUMPSIREY'S, the Farce-of Love a-la- Mode could not be represented, and he begged permission for, the substitution of Raising the Wind. So many apologies Ilaire been made for COOKE on similar occasions, that the patience of the town seemed to be exhausted. Instead of assenting to this proposed change in the performance,• a general clamour of opposition burst forth. Lewi s and POPE afterwards addressed the audience, but without success. There was a general and a vehement call far KEMBLE. In vain were they assured that he was confined to his room by severe indisposition. The storm raged with unabated fury. 'A Gentleman in the Boxes spoke for some time on the frequency of these . apologies, and on the disrespe& with which the public were treated, owing . to the negligence, or the .debasing habits of the performer who was the chief occasion of the disappointment. }NIGHT, the A&or, happening to be in the Theatre, assured the Audi ence that, to his certaiti knoWledge, COOKE was really disqualified by illness from the performance of his duty, and that KEMBLE also. was unable to leave his room. This declaration produced little effea ; the Farce of Raising the Wind was not suffered to proceed without a constant interruption ;. and long after the curtain dropped a considerable number of persons remained in the House, in very forcible terms 'manifesting their displeasure'. It is to be regretted, that if. COOKE was aEtually indisposed some medical authority was not brought forward, for the audience seemed to think that the apology rather resulted from the good nature of his theatrical brethren, than that it represented the real state of the case. At one time the fury of the audience was so high, that it was thought. they would have proceeded to wreak their vengeance on .the . Theatre; but at length they gr, adually dispersed, without any mis chievous achievement. Music.—A grand miscellaneous Concert, for the Benefit of the new , Musical - Fund, took , place last night in the Great Room, at the King's Theatre.— The Band was led by CRAMER ; and a . combination of great Musical talents. was laudably employed to give attraCtion to this Annual• Support of a merito rious Institution. Among the conspicuous . Per formers who exerted themselves on this occasion were GRASSINI, Mrs.. DICKONS, STORACE,' and BRAE/AM. Mr. DOYLE, Mr. T. WALKER, and a. Miss KouLtiAN (her first appearance); also assisted the vocal department with elle& The instru, mental department had the powerful .support of LtNDLEY, • ASIIE, BRIDGETOW'ER, HOLMES; and WOELFL, who all acquitted themselves admira bly in their respeCtive provinces. WOELFL'S con certo' on the Piano-forte was much admired for traordinary execution, and. LINDLEY'S solo on the Violoncello received great applause. It was. with much satisfa&ion that we saw a very ntimeous au dience on this occasion rendering pleasure -subser vient to benevolence. A very elegant silver tea-pot and stand has been recently presented to Miss PARKE by the 'Gentlemen of the Catch Club at Bath, in return for her musi cal exertions in their favour. Dr. HARRINGTON, the very respe&able veteran in music and poetry, wrote an appropriate inscription in Latin, in ,testimony of her professional excellence and private 'worth: Little DEL cARO, who formerly danCed at the Opera and Drury-lane, is shortly to make her debut at one of the principal Theatres of PariS. BARRY, THE ARTIST.—The remains of this dis tinguished Artist were yesterday removed to the house belonging to the Society for the Encouraae meat of 'Arts, Manufa&ures, and Commerce, in the Adeiphi. The Body was placed in the Great Room, which was hung with black,, and which exhibited an aspe& of solemn magnificence. At eight o'clock in the evening the Members of the Society, and their friends, were admitted to see the body lie in state. The whole of the preparations indicated the high respea, in which the Artist was held by the So-, ciety, and its sense of the favour which he conferred: on the Institution by those Paintings which decorate the Great Room in which ,the corpse was deposited.. They are indeed 'to be considered aS very splendid proofs of great learning in general, as well as in his ..peculiar art, and of high professional excellence. A great number of persons attended on this occasion, among whom were the Earls of RomNEY and AyLES , FORD, and many other distinguished charaEters, well as a large proportion of Members of the So ciety, Artists, and Ladies. The Body was this day interred in St. Paul's Cathedral in 'a style of funeral solemnity suitable to the reputation of the ,Artist, and highly creditable to the liberality of the. Society. Twelve mourning - coaches, and six. Gentleman's car riages appeared in the funeral procession. The following is a correct Copy of the Resolu tions moved by Mr. STANHOPE, respe&ing Lord ELLENBOROUGIVS Seat in the Cabinet Resolved, tst, That it is the opinion of this House, that it is highly expedient that the fundions of a Minister pf State, and the confidential Adviser of the Executive Measures of Government, should be kept separateanddistind from those of a Common Law fudge. 2. That it is the opinion orthis House, .that those Mem • bers of His Majesty's Mast FlOn. Privy Council, whom His Majesty is advised to diret to be habitually summoned, and who are so summoned to that Committee of the said Coun cil, which deliberates _upon matters of State, and which is commonly known by tha name of the Cabinet Council, are, and are deemed to be, the confidential Advisers'and MiniSters of the Ctown. 3. That it is the opinion of this House, that so to summon to the said Committee or Cabinet , Council, a Lord Chief fustice of England, the first Criminal l udge of the Land, to sit and deliberate as a Member of the same, is a pi.tetice highly inexpedient and unadviseable ; tending to expose to suspicion, and bring into disrepute, the independence of the judicial character, and to render less satisfactory the admi. nistration of public justice.

In this new Royal Residence many political and family events, which .begin a new•epoch in hiaory, followed close ly after each other. The influx of strangers of all ranks was extraordinary. The most remarkable' occurrences which took. place between the arrival of the Empress of France, and the Proclamation 'Of the Regal Dignity . on New Year'S Day, and likewise the particulars of the festivities at the Palace Of . Schleisl 7 - heim, have ~ a lready been. detailed. But the King Of Wirtemburgh, for whos,e reception cannon had been planted, and attebdaUts sent forward to The next post, contrary to expeCtation, 'never made his appearance. . . . . On the arrival of Prince EUGENE N A POLEON the festivities were . redoubled...• The 'amiable Viceroy' wore a red . uniform, .ernbroidered with .silver; but, like his Royal Bride, was , dressed at the Nuptials • in white. The' Princess wore the necklace and diadem, together with the other brilliants and pearls, which the-Prince had preSented to her. Her beau tiful dress for .the ceremony only arrived the same morning by a cotirier from Paris. The Journals of Fashion would be able to compose whole ,Treatises _ _ on the taste, the magnificence, and the variety of the ward,robe of the Empress of France. ; The, Dowager Dutchess of Deuxponts was frequently dressed 41 , 11 e: costzthie, as an Abbess of the Convent, of St. Anna at Munich. A speEtaCle, which _produced an effect equally singular, was exhibited by a Chamberlain in the Ecclesiastical Retinue of the EleEtor Arch-Chan- celior, who wore an hussar uniform. The Ladies who went to Court were frequently ,obliged to dress three times in 'one day. The costume of the 'three Wittelsbachs was heaUtifully o)d fashioned. h was, a present froni our. King, whd has likewise granted them a pension for life. ,When - the Audience at the Opera greeted the new-married pair with a Vivant, they both rose and made a low bow.. 'rhe.Dowry, which the States had voluntarily increased to 200,000 guilders, her Royal Highness has actually dire&ed to, be distributed in marriage portithls for fifty poor girls, and pensions for two invalids frcini each•Ba- 'Varian Regiment. . • : . The residence of the Emperor NAPOLEON in this city, has thrown more light on his private,life than all the Parisian accounts which have yet appeared. On New Year's ere he played at cards - 0 ei!ersis) in the apartment 3 o'.' the Empress, with the Queen, the Princesses and Marshal Dunoc. He all at once di- reeled music to be brought,. and joined with spirit in the dance. He has a handsome foot, and realty dances well He lives on the most confidential foriting•With the' Empress. On the morning of .New 's Day; he made his first appearance in public, on horseback.— At balls and concerts he convened much with the young Ladies. At the :parade his appearance pro duced a general vivat. If the Monarch sits negli gently ( oil horseback, and 'wears 'a shabby hat in the morning,• he is only like the Great FREDERICK in those respetts. He •dresseS so much the better for the evening, with: pumps (escarpins) and silk stockings. He is even well acquainted with the fe male toilette, and `manifests considerable attention to the subje&t. As he rode through our fair he made inquiries of the trades-people concerning their commodities, . and immediately distinguished English wares.' Not withstanding the paleness of his complexion he looks well, and has gained considerably in flesh during the' last two years. _ What the Emperor said was short, and bore the stamp of naivete. This was particularly manifested in the expressions he made use of on receiving the numerous Deputations every day. When the Mi nister had read the first article of the marriage con trata, and was proceeding to the second, he cried out, C'est assez. • - On the wedding day his dress made hini appear quite young. He wore the Imperial coat, but with out the mantle, and an extraordinary quantity of brilliants. He is fond of saying handsome things to the Empress; and when shezame out of her apart ment, he exclaimed ) Vous - etes i elle amone.ce four. — At the wedding ball, the Emperor, before he began to dance, put the diamondchain belonging.to his. re galia, round the neck of his consort,•-and did not take it again till.the ball was over. . • The presents distributed here amount [to some millions. All the principal .Officers of the Bavarian, Court received. snuff-boxes, with. brilliauts.'and por trait ; and the Chamberlains, Equerries, and Ladies of the Court, had snuff-boxes, rings, ear-rings, gold watches; &c. the servants and the chapel were pre-, sented with. 100,000 livres. The Ele&or Arch- Ch,ancellor received rink worth 50,000 livres, and a komise of six 'paintings in oil of the Imperial, Royal, and Vice-Royal. Pairs. Prince EUGENE like-. wise gave to the butchers 30 Louis d'orS, and to the servants, 20,000 livres. The parting of the 17th, and of the 19th of Jan. were affeeling family scenes. The Ernpros said : Je n'oublieNijamais le sejour de, Munk. The. King made her promise to pay another visit, to our city in the summer of next year. STUTGARD ; FEB. 20.—When the Emperor NA POLEON, on. his. march to Germany ; passed a few days at our Court, the Nuptials of PAUL, the second Son of the King of Wirtemburgh, with‘ the Princess of Hildburghausen, had.just been solemnized. The Emperor told the new-married Princess that lie should make her a little presenton the occasion, but should leave the choice_of it to the Empress. This present, a short time ago. arrived at this place, and a description of it .cannot fail to prove interesting to the Female Reader. The envelope in which it was packed up was of green.velvet, with festoons of pure gold ; it is in the form of a long antique vase.; the knot of the cover is a gold ball, trans fixed with the arrow of Cupid, and the ball itself is encircled with a. wreath of roses.. The contents of this beautiful vase consisted of the following articles : T. A chemise of English point, ornamented with a simple; but tastoful border ; the train is ct considerable length. z. Another Chemise of the . same kind, of, Slack point, with a border•of the pattern called wolf's teeth. • 3. A chemise; cut round, of white satin,_ with a border of • bwiquers,' exquisitely embroidered in gold ; above it a tunic ut silv: . 2rrute, with gold fringe. 4. A white crape dreSsi , very elegant!) , -embroidered with white silk. s. A second dress of white crap., bordered with 49i/iNth mg tulle, and a Marnejuke mantle of rote-colourtd satin s wit!, the same kind of border, and besides embroidered with.steci. 6, A morning chemist of East India muslin, embroiders with hortensia fipweis. _ 7., A veil of Engash point, with a border in the form of wolf's teeth. 8. A round veil of tulle en vomit-belle, worked with gold, and with a broad gold lace. 9. A piece of East India muslin, embroidered with silver. This velvet vase was accompanied with two boxosi one of,which contained three turbans, embroidered with silver; steel, and gold, and decorated with beron's feathers and aigrettes, and three caps .embellished . . with, flowers. The second 'Box contained 'artifi cial flowers of every kind,.'as beautiful in shape and colour as nature itself. There was likewise a net gar land of uncommonly pleasirig shape and appearance. The ,value of the whole is estimated, byaninoisseurs,_ at about 'NAM) guilders. A Letter frorn St. Petersburgh, dated Feb 15; ays, ." At half-past ten o'clock at night, on the 102.th_ inst. a fire suddenly broke out in Kuschelew- Palace, which raged with suchßwythat the German Theatre, which farmed a part of the above-men- tioned Palace, and where the fire cornmccd, be- carne a prey to the flames.. The presence of the Emperor, who, with the Grand Duke, CONSTAX.. TINE, indefatigably commanded, till fOur o'clock in _the morning, the Regiment of Guards 'that hastened, to assist in extinguishing the conflagration,' together with the excellent measures of the Police, prevented the spreadingbf 'the flames, which would otherwie have been inevitable in that populous part of the city. The ,German Theatre was cdrupletel3 - r reduced to ashes, and . the damage is estimated' at 60,00 J rubles. Fortunately no lives were lost. A small part of the wardrobe was saved, but every thing else belonging to the stage was consumed," - CAPTORE OP THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—In ad dition to the account which we have published of this important event, we present our Readers with the following particulars, communicated by an Offi cer in the ,Expedition : . f•`. We arrived in sight of the Cape on the 4tH, and on• the 6th landed with very little oppo4tion.. We slepton the sands all that night, as well as on the following night : and at two o'clock in the . morning of Wednesday, we were underarms, and at four o'clock marched to attack the Enemy, who were planted at the foot of the Blue Mountain. The Enemy gave nine cheers, with an intention of intimidating our brave Troops ; but they kept advancing under steady and firm pace. The shot and shells flew toO. wards us very briskly. At half-past eight the Light Companies of the different Regiments formed a Batta lion, and kept advancing, in expe&ation, that the Ene my would stop until they, came close enough to fire first, and charge with bayonets immediately after,— But they did not wait for this attack ; for when we came within 100 yards of them, and the light in= fantry'and field guns fired, the.. Enemy, in less than five minutes, ran away. While retreating, how ever, they fired their field-piece, " The grenadier company of the 524th Regimjnt, 65 in number, were ordered to a hill upon our right, to attack a number of horsemen who were then riding up to the top of the hill. They belonged to the Re giment called Waldeckers, and 'amounted to about The grenadiers drove them, and still kept advancing, when their Captain (FosTER) was shot in the neck, through the carotid artery. He just lived long enough to tell his Lieutenant (BABy) not to retreat, and • then died. Eighteen . of these brave fellows were wounded, and lay near the dead body of their gallant Captain. The remainder made the Enemy run : we pursued, drove them en tirely away, and then halted for the night. • " Never did I know the value of water so much as on that day. Three men of the ,24th . actually died of thirst; and it was dreadful to behold the number who dropped and languished from the same cause." The Church of St. Denis, at Paris, is appropriated as a Mausoleum for interring the branches of the present Imperial Family, as they fall ; and in the Pantheon are to be buried the great Officers of State, the Officers of the Legion of Honour, &c.

The challenge invites the ckairlj)ion" to fight for a sum of money, Or, what is elegantly termed, a - bellyfull. The match is to be made'withdut delay. The following' serious accident occurred yesterday in ,the New Road leading from 13attle-bridge to Tot tenham-court : P. HILLY, Esq.. a Merchant, residing near,Fitzroy-square, accompanied by his Lady and son, a boy of six years old, had been to Islington in an open chaise, and on their return the horse took fright at Somerstown, at an exhibition of Punch; &c. becdme unmanageable, and started off at full speed. The chaise was ultimately oVerturned, and Mr. H. was deprived of his senses by the severe bruizes he sus,- wined, and the Lady and child were severely hurt, the latter having had his. arm broke. , CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 14.---The Market con tinues to have but few arrivals of Wheat ; it is dull of Sale, and ' second and inferior qualities are cheaper ; Barley is in large quantities, having but few samples of fine, they fetch rather more than is quoted ; in Malt, Pease, and Beans, but little variation ; there are but few fresh Oats come in, and this article fully keeps its price ; Flour in plenty.
