CRIM. CONS.

The legal Theatre at the King's Bench, West.
minster, is expected to produce some very novel dad
interesting pieces at the approaching Sittings._
The first on record is a Poet of great celebi ity, who
has fur a long series of years entertair. d the public
by the human, nut and satirical effusions of his muie,
and though this modern Pinder has numbeted at
least sec. you winters, his bosom is said to be still
accessible to CopirP4 /ads. and "faithful to tit Pa "
A young man i+ couple lodged in the first floor of
a house, the secoad of which was occupied by the
Poet. The lady having a passion for theatrieJts,
has been in the habit of going up stairs to visit act
take lessons of enunciation from her fellow lodger;
but, unfortunately, in the house was a Mt& Pop,
who, not understanding the refinements attendarlt
on private theatricals, suggested to the husband
that All is the Wrong was performing above stairs.
The husband determined to undertake the part of
PeliwjTont, fur which purpose he contrived to secret
himself in the Poet', apartment. under the sofa. The
Poet soon after came in, followed by the lady, when a
most impassioned recitation of some of the most
pathetic scenes of Rt Fa and Juliet took place. be:
just as they were pro..eeding to rehearse the scene
with Cali.ta, described by LoMario, Peeping Tue
Ivatted from his concealment, and aced the part et
the Procokri Husband with great truth and energy.
The lovers immediately fled,' and we believe have
not since appeared, and the oatieatutists have al.
reudy set to work on a, subjeft so happy for their
purpose.
The next piece is brought forward by a Mr. C— ;
it is said to have been three years in agitation, and
that tt;e plot bears a strong resemblance to a piece
hrouitlit tcrward voile time since, in which Sir H
T-- V— and Mr. And Mrs ll—. were the Flo-
ep.ll performers. The 1111014 ml has tax-cl on Mr.
T. S. a gentlen,An, as a pr;niipal petfcit met, whose
fascinating and elegant address he thinks few ladies
I could withstand.
The third is that of the Countess of E—, which
we must reluctantly anoded to in a former Paper.
Her Ladyship is with her own family, whose pro.
I te.ttiou we understand she has claimed.

A letter has been received here from the Master
of a ship, dated Elsinore. Oft. 4; it mentions the
sailing of the convoy the day before. A number of
people have lately arrived at this place from Flush-
ing, many of them look wretch,:dly ; several Eng-
-I,sh, who resided there, have lately caught the
fever and died of it. The number of persons who
have fallen viEtims to the disease, within a short
space of time, is estimated at 1500.
The privateers on the opposite coast, since the
ships have been sent up the Sound. are more nume-
rous than ever. No less than twenty-two of them
arc fitted out of Calais only, beside four from Dun-
kirk, and more from ().tend, so that the risk this
winter in the narrow part of the Channel is likely to
be uncommonly great.

Two additional ihstances of manslaughter hap-

nature which cannot be contemplated without the
utmost eahorrence. One of them occurred at Burs-
cough, near Ormskirk, when two men having quar-
relled on some tidlarg snlijeets, had racoons to
blows, and after having fought some time, one of
them seized hold of a thick piece .of worai, wh
happened to be lying near him, and gave his amt.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, JANUARY 9.

An Order cf. Council has beesissued to all our shirs
of war, to detain and bring in all neutrals bound
from one port of France to another, or to any port
within the controul of the French Government,
where British vessels are not permitted to trade.—
The result of this Order is, to place France and the
commercial countries under her influence, in a state
of blockade. The enemy must have calculated upon
this ad of retaliation. The late Decree of BONA.
ea RTC, declaring the British Isles in a state of block •
ade, in its stria sense, could only be a suojeft of con-
tempt and ridicule. It was realty meant, and has
been acted upon, as an order to all French priva-
teers, to detain and bring in all neutrals engaged in
Btitish commerce, wherever met with. It was for
this purpose so many privateers have recently issued
from Chetbourgh, St. Maims, and other French
ports. 'I hus Bon AP a ate, this man who lately sought
ships, colonies, and commerce, who landed himself
upon the eve of rivalling the Navy of England, has
condescended to carry en a piratical war, and adopt
tl.c principles and practice of an Algerine Corsair.
It is strange that BONAPARTI, when he issued his
frantic Decree against British commerce, did not
consider the relative situation of the two countries.
He may thunder forth his threats and decrees to his
Captains, skulking in their hiding places at B est
and Toulon ; hut, after all his wrath and fury arc
expended, he will not be found more formidable at
sea to England, than the Dey of Algiers. All the
mischief then which his privateers can do to British
trade, is not a hundredth part of the injury which
France mist sest.in by the Order wEich our Co.
vernment has now issued. It is a measure 'of
dreadful vengeance, which twist annihilate the
little that rerna:ns of trade or mccantile spirit

Extract of a letter from Plymouth, dated 4th

serves to be recorded: Arrived, in the Mao, of
40 guns, Captain Logien, from off Rochefort, Mr.

Our gallant fellows were thus committed to the

they scudded before the wind, trusting to Pre-vi-

against all the in:Alerts. At the instant AM'
half-past seven o'clock in die mornirg, they reacher;
the gate, ColOnel GILICIPIE, with about a troop of
the 19th Dragoons, had reached the gate, from Ar-
cot, having left that place about six o'clock. He
was hauled up by a rope by &tie= BROD Y's party,
and had taken the command, when he intended w
hare charged the insurgents with the bayonet; but
at this moment, the galloper-guns of the 19th ar-
rived. The gate was then blown open, and the 19th
admitted.

" The Sepoys were encouraged by their native
officers, to make a stand, but all, were very soon cut
to pieces by the 19th ; about Ono were then cut
down, and about 200, subsequently taken from hid-
ing-places, were shot. About pio made their es-
cape, it is supposed, through the Sally-port, but
many of them have been since taken.

‘"l'he cause of this dreadful affair is now investi-
gating by seven Commissioners, who are now sitting
at Vellore. There is no doubt, however, but it is
intirely to be attributed to the want of due vigilance
in the officer who had the charge of tic Trine-s.
The 2d battalion of the twenty-third had been raised
a the southward, and was composed chiefly of Col-
lories. Their oflicers were induced by offers of
great reward, from one of the Princes, to be bribed
from their duty, and had sufficient influence over
their men, to make them join in the plan, which
was, to get possession of the lost, and which
they calculated on keeping for a few days, when
they were to be joined by 50,000 men from
Mysore. The standard of Tarot) was hoisted
on the Palace, soon after the firing commenced ; and
if it had not been for the intreaties of M•aator,
who declared the Princes were innocent, Ott Lase ,¢
would have delivered up the whole of the Palace to
the enraged soldiery. The cause is also to be attri-
buted to a code of new regulations, which has oc-
casioned general dissatisfaCtion through the army.
These regulations have introduced a new turban for
the Sepoys, similar to a drummer's cap ; have or-
dered the distinguishing marks cf cast in the fore-
head to be taken off, and to shave the:r tipper lip,
&c. The Mysore Princes doubtless availed them-
selves of this dissatisfaCtion ; young corps
had been removed from thence to Madras, a few
weeks before, for refusing to wear the turban.
" Lord WILLIAM BLNI I NCK, wisely, immedi-
ately issued a General Order, doing away those
regulations. I inclose a list of the kilicd asd
wounded. Major Aamsraosto was killed in his.
palanquin, by a volley from the ramparts, when
