From the North of &trope tits News's eqtany important. The French have taken possession of the Prussian Territory of Anspach, and the Procla mation which Gen. BERNADOTTE published when he occupied it, states, that a Treaty bad been con cluded between France and Prussia, by which the latter had ceded Anspach to Bavaria; and it was to be occupied' by French Troops as soon as the King of Prussia's Troops should occupy Hanover, It' the statement of General BERNADOTTE be cor teat, there subsiSts a much better understanding be tween Prussia and France than' recent events had led ns to suppose. It appears, however, that the French Army in Franconia has received considerable rein forcements,' and is likely to retain its present position for'soine time. Whether this formidable Army is assembled there for the purpose of keeping the KING of PRUSSIA in awe, or whether BONAPARTE entertains some apprehensions of the intentions of the EMPEROR of GERMANY, we cannot pre tend to decide ; but the immense Russian Army assembling in Lithuania, and the recent appoint ment of the Archduke CHARLES to be Generalissimo of all the Austrian Forces; cannot but give the Usurper some uneasiness. We are precluded, by the great length of the Ex traas which we have made from the Foreign Papers, from extending our observations upon. them at pre ient, but we will resume them to-morrow. OUR Letter from Yarmouth, dated March ath, si." The Carrier' Cutter arrived with intelli gence that the Enemy's Fleet has sailed from the Texel, 'and supposed to be gone North about. Vice-Admiral Russzt.i. has in consequence sailed from hence, with every Ship in these Roads except the Roebuck:" Ti 2 West-India ileet, consisting of 152 sail of Vends, under convoy of six iTrigates, sailed from the; Cove of Cork on the 3d instant. The Duke of DEDnairt's journey to Ireland is postponed to this day week. Mr. Erzioar, it is ex peeled, will precede hint by two or three days ; and Mr. PotisoNay was to have gone this day. We understand that the SPEAKrIt has given it as his opinion, that Mr. PONSONDY does net vacate his Seat m Parliament by his Law appointment in Ire land, as there are abundant precedents of Commoners holding the Seals in Ireland previously to the Union; and as there was no disqualification in the formet case, neither does there exist any By T Law in the present. We believe Sir ALAN BRODE/iIrK and Sir ICONSTANTiNE PHIPPS, with. the same office, sat in the Irish House of Commons. .Saturday HIS MAJESTY, PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, took an airing On horseback in Windsor Park, attended by Generals MANNERS and FITZROY.

Lord Transit, Sir Charles Le Brun, tairforch Treyor, Pliant, - Codicil, U'Dogherty, - Heartright, Lady Transit, ltutt, Lady Le Brun, e. SMITH. L Mrs. Er l tcpy. Mrs. GLOVL,III FABLE The story of this .Prama is soon detailed i —Lord Transit.; young Nobleman,' becomes captivated with the natural -Churns of a girl in an humble station, and marries her ; bur soon growing weary of retirement, he launches into the mazes of dissipation; and sends Lady Transit hack to her family.; At the time of their marriage, Fairford, the father ()this lady, was in Russia on a commercial speculation, and his family' %vice left in rather distressed circumstances ; but ; on the re turn of Lady .Transit to her father's residence, the finds him just arrived, and poSsessed of a considerable property in- -con sequence of the death of the prioripal partner iia the Conti nental firm. lie becomes reconciled to his daughter, who had married without his permission, and plaCes a considerable sum of money in her hands' to maintain her'dignity, but which she privately transmits to her husband, to relieve from the embarrassments in which his dissipated coati tier} had involved him. In the mean time, Lord Transit, struck by remorse, and considering .himself degraded by the levity of his town companions, eagerly wishes for a reconciliation with his wife, particularly on being deceived by Trevor, a young Officer, the nephew of Fairtbrd, with regard to his stispi-' cions of an intrigue between his Lady and Sir charies• Brun: the parties are brought toget hen at the house of Lady Le. Brun, and Fairford, who had discovered by sbilie papers the benevolence of Lord Transit to his wife during his absence , abroad, relieves Lordship • from great embarrassment by relinquishing a considerable claim he held upon his estates, and consents to his daughter's reconciliation with her huSir band. The main story is diversified by the mutual en - deavours of Lord Transit andi Sir. Charles Le Brur4. to seduce each other's wife, but they are both disap pointed by the virtue of the respective Ladies. The Autho l r of this Piece has been less solicitous to frame a plot than to communicate moral seati, ,, ments, and to corre& the vices and follies of fashion. His.fable is, indeed, very little calculated to excite interest . or surprize. There is nothing novel or very striking in his, chara&ers We have not, however, much room for remarks on the merits or defeds of this Piece, and as it was very well received through . - out by a numerous audience, there is the less neces. sity for observation. We could not discover any thing to justify the title, as the Play affords no par titular hint to husbands that is at all likely to irna prove the marriage state. Lord Transit parts . with.' his wife without any reasonable plea, though it is afterwards found out that he has a penchant for Lady Le Brun, which, however, is soon at an end, and he is disposed to receive his wife again. George - Trevor appears to have an attachinent to La:ly Transit, which is improperly introduced, because an amiable : character, is, of course, unhappy, .and sympathy is unavailing. Fairford is a sort of Job. Thornberry. . The sentiments are in general just, and are very neatly, and sometimes elegantly, expressed. The general tendency of the Piece is'to exercise the feel ins, and to confirm the moral principles. The a&ing throughout was entitled to applause, particularly that of C. KEMBLE, POPE, FANtCETT, BRUNTON, Miss SMITH, and Mrs. GLOVER.—. BLANCHARD exerted himself with great zeal in O'Dogherty, but was very deficient in the Hibernian dialed. • • The Prologue Was very creditable to the poetical talents of Sir J. B. BURGESS, and the Epilogue to the Author of the p.ay. They were well delivered by BRUNTON and Miss •SMIT .1. On Friday last the Earl of MontA, the new Con stable of the Tower of London. and Lord Lieutenant of the Tower Hamlets, was rrost sumptuously and splendidly entertained at dinner, at the London Ta vern, by the Magistrates and Deputy Lieutenant. Sir DANIEL WILLIAMS, Km. the Chairman of the Tower Sessions, presided. Lord MotaA was attended by Sir T. SUTTON, Bart. his private Secretary, and by Sir WILLIAM KIER, his Aid-de-Camp. On, his Lordship's right hand sat General 'VERN ON, .the Lieu tenant-Governor, Colonel I;onKE, the Deputy-Lieu tenant, and Colonel SMITH, the Major of the Tower of London: Amongst many most respeaable cha ra&ers, Colonel BEAUFOY, of the Ist Royal Regi ment of Tower Hamlets Militia, -attended, hull% previously placed his regimental band, iu full uni form, in the orchestra. Mr. MAINWARING, the Chairman of the Sessions for the County of-Middle sex, Colonel Smrrn,:and G: 8., VAINWARING,.ESq. Meinuer of Parliament for the County, the Reverend Mr. ROBSON, a Deputy-Lieutenant (the Father of all the resident Clergy in the District), who officiated as Chaplain, were also present. Mr. DIGNUM, Bre. gave Non Nobis Dontine, immediately after dinner, with great solemnity and effedt. The Cornpan7was above 120 in number, and the admirable cQnvivial talents of the Chairman were never exerted to better purpose. :He matte a very neat speech, on giving the health of Lord MOIRA, who made a very'lland some reply. 'Mr. MAINWARING, sen. in announcing the health of Sir DANIEL WILLIAMS, made several appropriate. observations; one in particular, when he said, " that in placing the Earl of MoutA high offices to which he had just been appointed, the King had made the Tower Hamlets the most acceptable present possible." ,Mr. GEORGE MAIN WARING, in returning thanks when Mr. BYNG'S health and his own were drank, took occasion to ad vert to the late contested Eleelion, but in very deli cate and conciliating terms he then pronounced an eulogium on the late most noble Lord Lieutenant,. the great and - good Marquis CORNWALLIS ; one whose talents commanded the respe&, whilst his amiable manners won the affections, of all parties. Having decorated the tomb of the Marquis with lau rels, with great felicity of expression, he made of them a wreath for the brow of Lord .11foutA, who was bred in the same school with Marquis CORN.. wALLts,•and who is revered by men of all parties-as one who has ever at heart, and is solely influenced, by What may promote his Country's good.. The wines, Champaigne, claret, hock, &c. ,were uncommonly good. Lord Moti;A)retired about ten, and the generality-of the Company broke up about an hour atterwards, having spent a day in perfea harmony, enlivened by unitbatipg now of rarity.
