WE received this morning the Leyden Gazette of the' 30th ult. It contains very little intelligence ; but we have translated two curious Letters, purport ing to be written from Cassel and from Hesse : our Readers, will, however, immediately perceive that • they ;./ere written in Paris. BONAPARTE is very anxious to inspire the Eleaors of Saxony and Hesse with apprehensions of• the designs of Prussia, and to convince them of his own liberality, generosity, and moderation. It appears that he has Offered the EleEtor of Saxony the Kingly Dignity, to bribe him to join the confederation .of the Rhine. The accounts from Naplqs state, that the French Troops had obtained some successes over the Loyal- ists ; but they do not appear, to be any way decisive. It stated that the French have taken Atnantea. WE received last night , §ome of the small French irapers'of the 7th inst. They add very little to the intelligence which we have already received. • F.. Letter , from Dover states, that on Wednes - day evening a very heavy firing was- heard on - the French Coast, near 'Boulogne, which continued without intertnission during the whole of the night. The cause of the firing was not known at Dover yes terday.; hut as Our Blockading Squadron stood over to the French Coast on • Wednesday morning, it is probable that-they have been engaging some of the 4.lTotiila. 'The Russian Squadt'on which was seen a feW days, ago oh Yarmouth, arrived yesterday i Portsmouth. It consists of five, Sail of the Line and three Frigates. There are 4000 Trpops boa they are destined f or the Mediterranean, 19. The French Ruler will be deeply mortified when he finds that so far from being desirous .of .such a fence as . his rapacity, ambition, and arrogance might by inclined to allow, the people of this Country are highly delighted at th&rupture of the Negotiations: - Thig patriotic exultation, which prevails all over the •• Country, - and which roust animate the breast of every man who feels forthe'honour, and is, anxious for the prosperity, . of treat Britain, will serve to eonyinc v eUri of the contempt with which we view all Ins. Menaces of Invasion. Even the opponents of .the present Administration con see nothing to con demn in the experirnent which has been made to procure the blessings -4 , Peace, upon terms consiitent with the honour of the Empire and not injurious to its interests ; nor can those opponents blaMe our Rulers for having-suffered the Negotia tibns to be carried on for so lo,ng a period, since they had a full opportunity of 'ascertaining the views of the French Emperor, and of convincing his oppress ed subjeas that if they are to be still exposed to the miseries of. War, enormoUs butthens, oppresSive conscriptions, and all other means, of supporting trannfland amb;tion, the fault is not imputable to '• 1 the British Government. Besides, the Negotiation did not lull our Ministers into negligence—they were ad tive.in preparing Expeditions, and they had an oppor t unity of renewing our amicable relations with Prussia , and consequently of obtaining a probable -co-opera .tion on herpart - in any measures - against France, in case the latter should make such demands as would necessarily put an end .to all hopes of pacification. Thus then the Negotiations : have been produaive of good consequences as a measure of experimental policy, and have enabled us to continue hostilities upon a better footing, not only with respe& to the opinions of the People -here, but: on the Continent in general, even comprehending the French, inde pendently of the important acquisitions which we have made during the progress of these Negotia- L ions . THE FUNERAL OF MR. Fox—had not taken place when this Paper was.put to Press. It was not ex peaedthat the ProcesSion would leave the Stable-yard before half past two o'clock. We will to-morrow lay before our Readers a full account of the whole ceremony. The QUEEN and PRINCESSES honoured Miss Visa with a visit at Stoke on Wednesday. Yesterday HIS MAJESTY, Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, with Lady THYNNE, Gene ral MANNINGHAM, &c. rode in Windsor Park. The Royal Westminster Volunteers, 01. ROBERT SON, yesterday, marched some' miles out of town to pra&ise ball-firing, with knapsacks, haversacks, can teens, and a day's provisions ; notwithstandincr the fatigue of which, they this morning mustered at nine o'clock, for the purpose of paying the last sad token of respe& to the late long and faithful Repre sentative of Westthinster. ---- - The Loyal Southwark Corps of Volunteers, with the Sharp Shooters attached, mustered yesterday morning at Horsemonger-lane, and marched to Clap ham-Common, where they were met by the Wands worth Volunteers. Tne two Corps ss'ere: brigaded under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel ALCOCK. They amounted together to about 700 rank 'and file. There was no opposing force, Consequently nothing of the sham-fight that was expeaed could take place. The Corps were occupied till near three o'clock, in performing the whole of the field-manoeuvres of a battalion of Infantry. They acquitted themselves in a manner highly creditable to their discipline. The Sharp Shooters skirmished in front of the line, and prote&ed the various evolutions and new allignments against the attack of the supposed enemy. After presentine - arms, and passing the Colonel in review, the whole repaired to the Windmill Inn, on the Common, where the Southwark Volunteers had pro vided a substantial military dinner for themselves and their Wandsworth Allies. The afternoon was spent in temperate-conviviality, and soon after dusk the drum beat to arms, and the troops . having resumed 'their stations in line, • broke into columns •of com panies, and returned to their respe&ive places of .parade, where ..they . Were dismissed. The day was favourable, and , there were several, hundred of speaators. , . THE THEATRE, -- Mr. EYRE, who held a very respe&able station on the Bath Stage, last night made his first appearance before a London Au dience, - at Drury-lane Theatre, as Jaques, in As You Like It: Mr. EYRE has a tolerably good fi-- gore of the middle size, and a regular set • of fea tures that are capable of expression. HiS voice is clear and powerful, and his utterance very distina. He displayed a just conception of the part, and de livered' the dialogue with simplicity and force. At times we - thought he was 'Somewhat too formal in his utterance ; but his manner altogether was, ex pressiveof that, sententious gravity which the cha realer demands. He will; we doubt not, prove a yeti/useful acquisition to the Theatre in charaelerS that require a due expression of moral energy.

CHER RY wanted luxuriance; but be supported the charader throughout a very judicious, manner. —As DUNCAN really possesses abilities that enable her to hold a distinguished rank, in the present situation of the Stage, we regret to say that her Rosalind was by no means entitled to critical approbation, however it Might gratify the galleries. - The whole 'of her performance Was marked by affeaation, coarseness, and violence. :Her words were either squeezed .or bawled forth.' Her deportment towards:Chi/undo, while she gave the Cuckoo Song, was absolutely dis gesting. As Orlando supposed she was a boy,, her familiarities ought to have appeared -very indelicate; though a much harsher term would havebeen more applicable 16 her 'manner; but as she win; actually representing a .womap, and aTrincels, it Nies shock , ingly out of charther, and her preparation for this' revolting,demeanour in, hanging her hot upon the tree, in order to have her hands more at blierty, in creased'' the disgust which, she" intst haVe excited in the mind, of every ilefleaing speaator.'—'-j,eetsTost's Orlando-.was a plain,. manly, and interesting per formance,--The el.araaerse altogether were very well' supported..

On Wednesday evening last a very daring rob bery was . committed in ; Bride-lane, Fleet-street. — By means of a large. centre bit the thieves, some time in the night, contrived to •eut a hole in the window-shutter belonging to Mr. Dudley's- 'Bite.' mingham Warehouse, sufficiently large to introduce a man's arm;- when, having broken a pane, in the windoW, they were enabled, to unfasten the case ment, and by that means gained entrance. They then plundered the warehouse of goods to a con - sideraule amount, and decamped with their bootyby the street-door. A gang of suspicious felloWs were observed lurking about the neighbourhood late on Tuesday evening. .The Watchman belonging, to the beat neither- heard nor saw the thieves; not withstanding they must necessarily have made a great noise, and been employed some . time before they could have penetrated the window-shutter. FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NAPLES, SST.. 2. " KING JOSEPH has returned frottlCalabria to this Capital. The day before yesterday (Sunday) there was, a Public Audience and a Grand parade., His Ma jesty reviewed more than 8000 men, among - which were the Civic Guards, _the Provincial Guard., and the Guards' of Honour. His Majesty was attended by General JOURDAN," Governor of Naples, and a number of other General Officers. " King, JOSEPH, before 'he quitted a Country. Which is the theatre of an unhappy and destructive war, wished to-give an unequivocal proof of • his clemency. For this purpose he caused to be pub lished, in Hither Calabria, a Proclarnation'prothis ing pardon to all . those Who had been. forced or se duced into the insurreetion. The following is the last official accounts from Calabria respeaing the mili tary operations On the 22d Augusts Gen. VERDIER, being reinforced by, other Troops, marched towards Amantea. .The English.did not expe& him... They abandoned the gebels, and went on board their. Vessels. The French Army was divided into ',three columns, for the . - purpose of surrounding the Re bels, who were ,encamped to the number of a , thousand on the Plain of Montecocozza. A part of them succeeded.- in gaining the coast, the others were cut to pieces. Forir hundred, who were - encamped near Amantea, were made prisoners. It is not known whether the persons who fomented the revolt at Amantea are,. or are not, among the prisoners; but several of the Chiefs have taken refuge with the . English. On the 26th Mar shal MASSENA was preparing to march to Catanzaro, arid from thence to Reggio. The two Regiments of Veldemme and Abruzzo, hearing that that General was advancing from Cosenza, abandoned Cotrona, and embarked' for Sicily. The Division orMilimoT, and the Regiment of Ventimille, remained_ at Co- senza." CASSEL, 5EPT.13.7.-A Treaty has been conclud ed at Berlin between Baron W.uss, in the name -of the Ele&or of HESSE CASSEL, and M. HAuGwITZ, the Prussian Minister. This Treaty has not been ratified by oar •Sovereign. Who could eipea that Prussia would carry her pretensions so f fitr ? She wished for nothing less .than to obtain the Sove reignty over Saxony and Hesse. It.was settled by this Convention, that, there should be two Circles formed, the Circle of Saxony - an& the Circle of Hesse, and that the KING. of PansstA - should have the same rights as the EMPEROR of GERMANY had, that is to say, Sovereignty, •.Aulic Court, Tribunals of the Empire, kc. From that mo ment - Saxony and Hesse would have been effaced from the List of Powers, and Prussia would at once have acquired a population of ten millions. 'The rights of the EMPEROR of GERMANY were mo derate& by the number of powerful Princes „who composed the GermaivErnpire; but by this measure Prussia would have absolutely. destroyed the So vereignty of'her two neighbours. Our Government would not ratify it ; ,but the Prussian Troops are ad vancing to Gottingen. . DRESDEN, ^SEPT. I Court is in a state of the greatest distress. The plan_of the Court of, Ber lin is nothing less than to obtatu .an absolute sovereignty over us and over Hesse. Our Prince refused to comply with the wishes • of PVISSiiI, but the. Prussian Troops surround us, and some of them have 'entered our Territory. France .has declared. to us, with great generosity, and with that grandfug, which belongs to the Emperor N.POLEON, that we were at liberty .to ata as we pleased. If we chose to join in the - Confederation of the Rhine, mi Power couldprevent uS. If we chose to'remaln independent, and to unite all the Princes of the House of SaXony, to take the title of -King, and to be placed under the guarantee - of Prussia,. Austria, Russia, and France, we were at liberty to: do 'so if we chose to unite ourselves with Prussia, we thight do it. But if we . adopted the last plan; the Empe ror of France ,would only, consent to it upon condi— tion that Saxony should be entirely evacuated by the Prussian Troops: Oar Eleaor, was very • much affe6t ed by this declaration on the part Of France; but declarations 'are of no avail : we have' no French Troops on our Frontiers,- and the Prussians are already taking possession of our Territory; \Ve know, however, that though the Emperor NAPO- - 1.4m4 is slow in commencing his movements , he is , . not so 'When he 'has commenced -.then'. Saxony is more powerful than Sweden; and as powerful as Denmark ; she has nothing . to do with France: 7 - , We can maintain 'bur neutrality, and hold the ba lance between Austria and Prussia. Tht is the wish of the nation. ' •. SCHODERER, the wine merchant at Donauwerth, who was lately sentenced t 9 death by the French Court" Martial at Brannau, has been released. -JE j Nlscn, the Bookseller at Augsburgh, is' to receive a few weeks imprisonment at Munich; by order of the BaYariai l i Governtx?ent.
