ADDRESS TO THE PRINCE. This day a great number of persons were as sembled in New Palace Ytrd, in pursuance of a Requisition signed by a number of the Inhabitants and Householders of the City and Liberty of Westminster, to take into consideration an Address to the PRINCE RaOENT, expressive of their disgust and abhorrence at the late atro cious assault made on his Royal Highness. — At one o'clock , the HIGH Bamirp appeared on the Hustings erected in front of the King's Arms, and read the Requisition. Major CARTWRIGHT was, we believe, elected Chairman, for he, was addressing the crowd a little after one o'clock. Sir F. BURDETT and Lord COCHRANE were pre sent, and the crowd very considerable and gene rally of the Hunt order. We shall communicate any thing worth notice which may occur. The Police Are on the alert, and an adequate provision made to repress any disposition to excess. LOYAL DECLARATIONS. BHtMISGU?iM, FEB. I seize the first moment to lot ortn you of the proceedings which prevented the 'Magistrates, Clergy, Merchants, and respectable Inhabitants 0166 loyal Town from addressing • the PRINCE •. REGENT, upon his late escape front the traitorous ' attack when returning from his Parliament. A great number of the most respectable inhabitants had assembled at the Shakespeare Room, when a regular hand of the lowest of the people made their way into the. RooM, and, as appeared from their conduct, pre-deterniined to prevent any thing being heard. The High Bailiff was most grossly insulted. The Gentlemen conducted them selves most highly to their. credit, and bore the,, disgraceful proceedings in the must calm and dig nified manner. The High Bailiff was at length forced to dissolve the Meeting : but the individuals who hail excited the violence of the proceedings adjourned to Newhall-hill, and there passed quite unmolested what Resolutions they thought proper. The High Bailiff called a Meeting of the Gentle men who had signed the Requisition, 'to meet them again at the Public . . Office this morning, when an Address to the REGENT, and a Declara tion of principles,. which will do honour to the Town, was unanimously passed. 1 have not time to inform you more circumstantially ; but 1 am extremely happy to say, that the disgraceful pro. ceeding,s of yesterday have more firmly united all parties in our Town : never did I witness more unanimity'among ail religionists than this day. [We have received other accounts from Bir mingham this day, which fully confirm the con tents of the Letter from our spirited, loyal, and patriotic Correspondent.] BRISTOL, FEB. 12. I have by this day's post sent you a copy of some Resolutions and a Declaration of Principles, signed by the Mayor of this City, and a numerous body of our Mxgistrees, Clergy, Merchants and Citizens of the first eminence, who happened to be prOmiscnously assembled at our Commercial' Rooms at the time this Address was brought for ward. The manner in which this expression of the patriotie and loyal sentiments of the City of Bristol and its vicinity has been manifested con fers the greatest honoar upon us. A few Gentle-. men, anxious to make this avowal of their feel .ings, 'had prepared an Address, intending, to form themselves into a Committee in a private room, to adjust the necessary previous step for its meeting the public eye ; as soon, however, as such an in tention was buzzed about the room, and became known to the main body of the Subscribers who were present (just about the hour of post), such sudden burst of spontaneous loyalty and enthn siasm evinced itself, that the tables were instantly drawn into the middle of the room, the Mayor called to • the Chair, and the Declaration agreed to be signed, without one, dissentient voice.—Addresses 'to the Prince have also been voted . by our two great Corp Orate Bodies, the Mayor and Common Council and the Society of Merchants, all .couched in such terms, that I think you will agree with me. that Bristol, in this tithe of peril, has done its' duty. What few Huntifes are amongst Ant are too despicable to be noticed. The Decla ration is signing by every body, with their name, address, 'and occupation. DEATH OF THE EARL, OF ROTHES.—Suchlenly and most unexpectedly (behig taken ill while on horseback, and carried to the house of H PETERS, Eq. of BetchwOrth Castle), on Tuesday last, ex pired, GEORGE Wttiamia,EliELY Al, Earl of Rattles, one of the sixteen Peers of Scotland, and Colonel of Surrey Yeomanry.

Ever since the apprehension of the six persons on Sunday, the Bow-street Officers have been very active in procuring evidence. On Tuesday young Evans, Keene, the tailor, and Castles, were removed .from 'Tuthill-fields Brideivell to the Se cretary of State's Office for the Home Department, under the care of Mr. Nockler, the new Governor, when they underwent long examinations before the Cabinet Ministers, the. Attorney and Solici tor Generals, from„three o'clock till. six, and which were resumed at half past eight, and continued till past eleven, Two of the witnesses produced against the prisoners were a Landlady of a public house in East Smithfield, and a black man, her waiter, where young Watson was in the habit of attending and holding forth to . a Society, com posed of those of his own political sentiments. Yesterday Dr. Watson, the two Evans's, Keole, and Castles, were removed from Tuthill-fields B r id e well and the House of Correction, and ‘vt.'re all examined at the Secretary of State's Office, which occupied from twelve o'clock till four, be fore the Cabinet Ministers and the Law Officers. They were all examined separately. Old Evans is extremely iudignant at being class ed with such }. man as Preston; he disapproves of Sir Francis Burdett, Hunt, and his mob : and In fact, no public character seems to come up to his public standard. THE STUART PAPERS. Ilast. 10, 1817.---Latterly the Stuart Pa pers have been the chief subject of conversation her,e. The whole of those which hail been. in the .possession of the late Cardinal Yoax, forming a Sopplament probably to those in the Scotch CO legato Paris, bait been traced and purchased by a Scorch Gentleman of the name of Watson, a re sident here during part of the late war. They have since been secured and sealed by order of Government ; the person from whom they were purchased is arrested, and at this moment a Pa• pal Gens d'Arnies keeps . guard in the house. My ;Self and bad a short view of them before they were'seized, in company with Mr. and Lord How, the papers first got out of the Cabinets of the Cardinal i have not heard ; hut they.came law the possession of Tassoni, audi tor of the Pope, and were Confidentially entrust .,eazo a Priest of the name of Ltassi• Watson heard of this, and, after assuring himself of the authen ticity of the information, applied for them to the Pr!est. •Lossi'reeptired the permission of Tassoni, and it is understood, that by well directed doh cenrs his concurrence was obtained. A receipt was given bin two 'attacked crowns, anti thapa pen secured in ‘Vatson'alodgings, The new pos. sessor of them talked, and would take no advice. The circumstance at length transpired. Tassoni regretted the affair, and apPlied.to the Secretary of State, who interfered, on the ground of a frau— dulent misrepresentation by Lnstai. The latter and the papers were immediately seized. This is the exterior. state of the case :: what other motives , wa y have prevailed in the affair is still a matter of discussiOn. . Box a as.—The fight between Crony, the sailor, and .Fisher, a fresh and youthful adventurer from the country, will take place to-day, on a chn'sen spot near Kingston, for twenty guineas and a subscription purse. Betting 6t04 on Croxey. Some Gentlemen converting in a coffee-room at the West end of the town, on the benefits arising from our excellent Ctinstitution of Governmentin Church and State, one exclaimed, it is brilliant in the extreme, but I am in want of a metaphor to express its brilliancy, A wag in an adjoining box cried out, " Why then, Sir, compare it. to WARREN'S Blacking, which pOssesses the powers of producing an incomparable lUstre, which also gives durability to the leather, and sets aside all pretences to improve an article in which WAR nat4 (who has lately rettoved to the Strand) has been ev justly celebrated for a long serics of years."

The delegates had the honour to'kissthe Prince Regent's hand, and were most graciously received. The Priuce. Regent afterwards held a Privy Council, at which the ceremony of pricking fur Sheriffs for the ensuing year was proceeded upon. The Prince Regent gave audiences to the Am benvordorfrom the Netherlands, the Earl of Har rowby, and the Earl of Liverpool. THE THEATRES. DauttY-LAN4.. T - 7 -After the Tragedy of Oreenolro, the Connie-Opera of The Follies of a Day was per formed for the first time at this Theatre, the part of Susan by MI s. ALM'. Her performance of this character exhibited talents of the highest order, and she was greeted throughout. with the loudest approbation.,--Mr. R. count Alinciviva was ex cellent. HARLEY spewed himself quite at home in Figaro ; and Miss KELLY supported the charac ter of the Page with her usual talent. The piece was extremely well received, and so strongly cast, will, we doubt not, prove .au attractive tavuurite with the Public. COVENT-GAr.OUN,—Last night, if not anew,. tat least an Imputed candidate for dramatic 'fame ap. pealed at this Theatre in the.arduous character of iliehard the Third. ills name is Boom, and we. recollect him perfectly as the Sylvius, in As You Like It, so excellently performed at this Theatre last season. Ye were. at that time struck with an attempt to the part more efficient than he. fore, but it scarcely admitted of Success, and the world is so much inclined to laugh at the puling Lover, that Mr. Board's efforts could not rescue. him from his certain late, anti we could only re peat-- WW'b.y"s'nivale and wan, fond Lover, Pryflit4: why so pale? If wb c o lo u iring well won't ivin , her Lovttipg ill prevail? Those signs of, talent, however, which merely awakened our etteotion, did not, it seems, escape the penetrating judgment of Mr. C. KILSIBLE,.tiv whoM,, we untlettitand, the rublit are indebted for the news liicherd.: By Mr. KESIBLE'S advice, Mr. BOOTH wasiodueedlo, try his powers on pro-. %Mein' boards, and on a higher scale than he could •then , hope foe-being allowed to attempt its London. At -:Brighton and Worthing t;,e ap probation he received, proved the discernment of his liberal adviser, and rewarded his own ex- • ertioni. With the stamp of this applause he has returned •to the Metropolis, and last night made • his &dint ; in the most eminent line' of his profession. The verdict of his country admirers was here confirmed, and lie obtained, us he merited, the warmest encou-' ragement. In figure, voice, manner, and even iu face, iti3 : .reselliblanCe tri Mr. KEAN is remark able. His countenance is capable of fine and Va' flouts expression, and his voice superior in quality to that of the Actor we have just named. When .he is more accustomed to manage it in ; 'a large Theatre, and in impressive parts, there will of course be much improvement in this re spect, as well as in' others, where he was last night deficient. The agitation of such an'enterprize as that of assuming the highest walk in Tragedy may well excuse any redundancy of action, or want 1.1 nicetyin minute tnuches of passion, uvhich might but will not notice. There were strong prools original poWers and discrimination ; and though Mr. KEAN wits,- particularly in the early scenes, often recalled to our mind, we cannot in•justice say that Mr. itooln is ,a wilful, fur less a servile imitator. We cannot go into detail-, and shall only mention the Cofirtship and the Tent Scents as, especiallradmirable. The applause wss ge neral and. healqy ; and instead of the Play an nounced for this night, the Audience almost una yore insisted-on the repetition of Richard the Third; the parrel Richard by Mr. BOOTH.
