His Mai BST v's ship Crooodde and ilisadenre store
ship, sailed, ou Saturday, from Portatoouth, with a
few other vessels for the Cape of Good Hope.

The Gaerite, of Saturday night, •contains six Or-
ders in Council, constituting part of the new Corn-
mercial System, disclosed in the Orders of the Ilth
instant, as a measure of retaliation against the
French Blockading Decree. The roue first are
mere matters of regulation and detail, growing out
of the original Orders. The first of them regulates
the respeCtive periods at which the original Order*
shall be enforced. The sth and this are in favour of
Prussia, Lubec, and Portugal ; and declare that all
ships and goods belonging to these states, which
have been and are now detained in the ports of this
kingdom, or elsewhere, shall be restored, upon
being pronounced, by the High Court of Ad-
miralty, or by the Court of Vice-Admiralty in
which proceedings may have been commenced,
to belong to subjeas or inhabitants of Poriugal.
Prussia, or Lubec, and not otherwise liable to
confiscation. This indulgence to these Powers
is expressly stated to have been granted " in
consideration of the circumstances alder which
Portugal, Prussia, and Lubec,pave been compelled
to shut their ports against the ships and goods
of His MAJZSTY'S subjects." This is an indire&
admission that Government do not impute any
duplicity to the Court of Portugal, but are eon.
vinced of its friendship and sincerity. A littler
time will chew whether it was equally sincere in its
threat to migrate to the Brasil'. Sir SIONST
SPAITN'S squadron, consisting of the Lend**, of 9$
guns, and the M **era, Metraorealpi, thsaieti, and
Bedford, of 74, passed Cape Finistere on the 14th,
steering South, under sealed orders, but the general
opinion was, that they were bound for the Tagus.
In that event, they would probably reach that rivet
on the Ifith or 17th, and assist the Parsecs Rao taro
if so inclined, to carry his threat into execution.

A Russian Messenger arrived on Saturday, from
St. Petersburgh, with dispatches for the Russian
Minister at this Court. Colonel WA L Ll 6, a relative
of Sir Roam Wi Lion, at the same time arrived
with dispatches from Lord G. L. Gowsa, our Am-
bassador at Sr. Petersburgh. At the time of their
departure, the Russian Government bad net be..
trayed any symptoms of hostility towards this
country. This account is favourable, but was not
sufficient in itself to cause the rise in the funds that
took place on Saturday. Many additional reasons
were assigned for it. It was said. that the Ron.
WILLIAM HILL. who, as appears by 7he Giseftt.
is appointed our Minister at the Court of Sardinia.
has been charged with dispatches to the ♦ustrian
Government, accepting, under certain conditions.
the proffered mediation of that Power, and of Rus-
sia, towards the re-establishment of a General Peace.

Another report stated, that a Flag of Truce bad ar-
rived from France. This latter, however, is un-
founded, and we do not know what degree of
credit to attach to the former.

Accounts from India. we understand, state, that
a serious snutiay lately broke eat in the Slid Regi-
ment,. in Bengal, in consequence of some delay in
the payment set the troops, and of a considerable ad-
vance having taken place in the price of spirits. A
large portion of the Regiment is mated to have ap-
peared in a body before the Commanding Officer,
to demand redress ; when he remonstrated with
them upon the impropriety of their condua, and or-
dered them to disperse. On their refusal to obey.
he colleCted a c"rps of cavalry, and some native
troops, surrounded the minium", and compelled
them to lay down their arms.
At the dare of the last dispatches, some of the
ring-leaders had been punished, and the most pee-
led discipline and trar,quiltity had been restored.
The southern provinces continue to be so far dis-
turbed, that curnerous native traders, and Europeaa
inhabitants. have applied for permission to remove
into the vicinity of Madras.
On the northern and western frontiers, mach
alarm prevailed : Scindea had demanded 25 lac, of
rupees from sae rf his tributaries, who was prepar.
ins to resist his claim by an appeal to arms, joinel

treeral of the petty northern Mahratta Rajahs, '
CID are hostile to Scindea, and conceive the present
gcasion favourable to throw off his yoke.
Fresh disturbances have broken out at Cabul,
sad the deposed Prince has been murdered in an
attempt made by his. partisans to resaue him from
;be fort in which he was confined. The spirit of
iosurreFtion has extended into several of the Persian
provinces.
A Gottenburgh Mail arriled, yesterday, with
letel!igence from that city to the 19th, from Co-
penhagen to the 12th, and Russia to the sth inst.
Our frigates command the passage of the Sound,
Ind do not suffer any neutral vessel to pay toll to
she Danes, whose resentment against thee country
does cot appear to have in any degree subsided.
The " Robbers" is the epithet which they use when
apealing of the English. General Pelotas has
ken removed from the Government of Copenhagen.
sad Prince FUEDENICIL of Hess; is appointed in his
plat. It was reported at Gottenburgh, that he
and several other officers have been brought to trial.
Bralioau was re.vidlualled in Cidlober ; but as the
Paris rape's informed us that all differences had
been finally arranged between the two Powers, the
}reach troops have probably entirely evacuated the
A.,•rran territory.
French Ambassador, General SAVARY,
mares a splendid figure at St. Petersburgh, and at-
mods the EuPERCIII at all his parades. The latter
bad returned to that chy early in this month, from a
review of his troops. Pt ivate leuers from Cron-
sudt, of the 4th, state it as the general opiniod'in
St. retersburgh, that the Emperor ALLlaliDia was
maw incensed by the attack on Copenhagen, and
the seizure of the Danish fleet, and would declare
war itgair this country in the spring. Appearances,
however, did not eacourage this rumour, as nearly
fifty sail of British vessels were taking in cargoes at

St. retersbnigh.
The Russian naval force at Cronstadt consists of
sixteen sailot the line, and one hundred and twenty-

five gun-boats.
Tue army has been recruited, and consists of
:Scut 175,000 men under the command of Gener.l
filluoevnaw. The French army in Poland and
Prussia is still very LomideraYle.
The recal of the Spanish Ambassador from Pe-
trtsblugh is a►criued to his having neglected to pay
sufficient respect to the French party in that capital.
The report of an armistice between France and
Sweden, is repeated in the Swedish papers.

THEATRE.
DRURT•L LIM
F • Qum AR'S lively Comedy of Thr Ineenutant ;
or, The Way to In, ffim, was revived on Saturday
night; and Mrs. JOILD•N, for the first time these
six years, sustained the part of Baer's. The part is
well adapted to her, and admits of those embellish-
ments in which this admirable atliess stands un-
rivalled. ller scene in the second aft with Model*,
where she obliges him to &met and drisi, was re-
plete with hummer and vivacity. The 'smircfe with
which she introduces the air of " Drink to me ouiy
w‘th thine ryes," and her transition to " shepihrd
once had tort his loot," displayed such a happy con-
ception, united to felicity of execution, as called
forth the most unbounded plaudits. Her toast,
" Here, Sir, Mar the King." was received with
enthusiasm. Mr. &tummies Mirosie, has been
always considered one of his best performances ; he
never displayed more vivacity or pleasantry than on
this occasion. The part of Mir-abet may be consi-
sidered as the original from which our modern
dramatists have drawn their Dori-mirth Br!-
court, &c. and although wetgive them all due cre-
dit for the superior chasity of their designs.
congenial with the taste of the present time, yet we
cannot but regret that a little more of Cie richoess
of the original has not been preserved. Although
it was only Mr. ELLisrom's first peiformance of the
part of Mead. he could do no more than make it '
a finished portrait of the characters we have men-
tioned, and in which he so much excels. Miss
Boyce was the Orland of the night ; it requires
great dramatic talent, and much variety, to give
circa to the part The convent scene was the best.
()rime should he spirited, nut plaintive. Old Airrabet
is the model for all the modern good natured old'
men, such as Governor Henreid!, did Hardy. UM
Darrow!, See. in which Mr. DowYots appears to so
much advantage. His Oil Abrade!. of course.
could net fail to be an excellent performance. We
cannot hut think the text would be more honoured
in the breach than the observance, if Old Altrodel
were to dispense with saluting Losnorre. in the last
aft, and some words, that border upon indelicacy,
were omitted. The house was crowded in every
part. Ltlla Hosen4erz becomes, on each rt.presenta-
Gen, mote attractive.
