COVENT-GARDEN 17IEATRE..

Notwithstanding the persevering effilets of the

the curtain drew up, Order being new considered

Me Erik and Portrait of Cervantes were the
entertainments of the entain. . The former pre-

don audience, in the character of Comet (Uric—.
Thia, like his former part, afford. little opportu.

Immediately before half-mice, a person, who had
repeatedly attempted to excite a riot, was taken
into custody, and carried before the Magistrate at
Bow-street. This we suppose, irritated his COM.
musioav in mischief, for the half dozen of pests wh•
found their way into the pit with O.P.' in their
hats. were more disgustingly noisy and troublesome
than they have lately dared to be. having got res.
Mite till another Quarter Sessions. .Theca gentry
may snppose they may commit their acts of insub-
ordination with irupupity, lint in this they will
find themselves most grievously mistaken. The
Laws of the Land will protect the public .peace,
and they may itepeud upon the putii.huietits being
sine, even should they be slow. The Portrait If
Cereavtes was much interrupted by the party at
the back of the Pit. but the (louse cleared iii the
most orderly manner. as soon as the curtain dropped.

• should he_ pursued. The Noble Lord who had
just epoken appeared to hare seeu it iu its
true light.— A • Noble Lord had said that the
Government of Spina considered its salvation
to depend upon the appearusice of tut English
army in Spain, and yet he gave no reason for the
extraordinary delay in sending that army ; and
alien it did arrive ut Corinma, that that govern-
ment had given no orders for its landing ! Was
this true ? Was it possible ? if so, such a govern-
ment was a curse! Could the Hon. Gentleman
be serious, could he be rightly informed, or was
this a story picked up by cheat*? To keep au
army westing to or 15 days, what could he expect-
ed but defeat and disgrace. The Rt. lion. Gent.
had thought proper to pass over his speech in
silence, he did not reply to one of his arguments,
or those of his lino. Friend ; lie therefore supposed
lie had prepared lois speech, before he heard either
what he or his lion. Friend had to say. The
Right lion. Gentleman had suid, he could espouse
their Qualm, although he could not agree with their
rehgimu opinions; and had talked about the Lady
of Polito.. For his port, he could also agree to tight
wader that lady's banner, were she young, though
he • might not be equally Melined, were she an
old dame. lint this had nothing to do with the
questiou for inquiry. As to the cause of the retreat
of Sir John Moore, us lie was dead, and could
not make his own statement, every one who
esteemed his memory must be DIM for the in-
quiry, lust In memory 61 hi meet with unmerited
reproach. But it had been argued, that the real
question was not for inquiry, but whether His
.Majesty's Ministers should be removed. This was
not, however, the ease. If it should appear upon
iuqniry that His Majesty's Ministers acre not 'ult-
imate to the situations they filled, then their re-
moval oni4lit become a question. The Right lion.
(:eoatleinan had mid, if the Moose were desirous to
abandon Spain, then remove His Majesty's Minis-
' ter, for they would never CO:ls42llt to itbitodon her !
Hot, he would ask, who haul said a word about
alumdmiing Spain ? Mr. Ponsonby then alluded
to his having blotted that the Spaniards had re-
fused to admit our troops into Cadiz, and od-
though he haul entertained II doubt upon the
fact, yet the answer *of this Majesty's Ministers
convinced him he was right, lie then denied
•the charge of either his Honourable Friend near I
him or himself having spoken disparagingly of the
British army; on the cootrary. they had spokes et
it in terms of admiration, lie concluded by say-
ing. that if Ministers were muctioned, and their
counsels approved by the House, they could ex-
pect in future nothing but rimilarremolts.
Mr. BATHURST spoke in explanation.

An official account of the conclusion of peace
was received here this day, and was immediately an-
nounced by the discharge of cannon from the Im-
perial Battery and other forte. The Admiral's
ship Le Charkataree gave the signal to the other
vessels constituting the squadron, which fired for a
quarter of an hour, at intervals. The fog was very
thick at first, but it soon dissipated. This city will

COPENHAGEN, OCT. t 3.

It will be recollected that in the month of June
or July last, of this year, some English ships of
war attempted, and effected several descents in Nor-
wegian and Noonan Finmark; by a letter published
in one of our newspapers, and written by Justice
Krogh, of liAreig, in %Vest Fiamark, it appears
that the mischief done on that occasion is more con-
siderable than has been supposed. In addition to
four ships taken and burnt, and one sunk, the
White tea Company has sustained a loss, amount-
ng at least, to 8,000 rubles.--(Dagem Oct. 114.)

The Carteret packet arrived the day before yes-
terday, in 20 days, from Malta. The Forusidoble,
and a convoy for this piaci and England, sailed
two days before the packet.
A large expedition sailed from Sicily on the 23.1
of Sept. whose destination was unknown. The
Zealous and Triaspit arrived here on the 20th.
from Lisbon, on their way to Lord Collingwood'a
fleet, off Toulon. We expect every day to hear of

10 frigates, and a number of transports, crowded
with troops, were lyitig in the outer road, at single
anchor, about a fortnight since.
The Marquis Wellesley will embaik on heard
the Thniegal, at Cadiz, on his return to England*
in the course of this week. By all accounts his
Lordship is such dissatisfied at the conduct of the
Supreme Board, whose ignorance and sloth are •
subject of just and general discontent throughout
the country.
Letters from Madrid, of the ath of this month,
state, that Marshal Ney had been sent a prisoner to

A full •tatemrnt of this case was given in out

The Court was crowded before the Lord Chan-

Mr. RICH A RDs stated svver.ii affidavits, the per.
port of which is already before the public; he
then moved, that Mr. Giles and Mr. Smith should
be committed to the Fleet Prison.

Mu. BIAGIO appeared as Counsel for Mr. Smith.
end stated. he was instructed by his client to ex-
press his cautrition for the part he had taken. and
to snare the Conrt he acted through ignorarice.
The Loan CitstscaLkor. directed, that Mr. Giles
should be committed to the Fleet—that the other
order of committal should be suspended until
Thursday next—and that notice should be given
to the clergyman who published the banns of mar-
riage, to appear oa that day, and account why he
did net make proper inquiries, before he attempted
to publish them.
The remainder of the day was occupied in hear-

plain of the advance of prices of admission to the
Theatre, persons not in the habit of visiting it. At
the commencement, however, of the riots in 1799,
to which we allude, .the populace broke' into the
house of a Mr. 4usith, iu litackfriars'-road—a
man with a large family, and a very hunted income
tit the time, but a partner with a Mr. Rural)",
who was supposed to be a large dealer in
corn. Mr. Smith could no more hare con-
trollied the proceedings of his firm, than Mr.
liernble can control!l those of Covent-Garden
Theatre ; yet, such was the fury of the mob, it
is thought his life would not have been safe, hid
they found him. The tumult thence spread itself
into the city, upon the line from Ludgate-hill,
northward to the City-road. The Mansion House
and 11'ors.•.iit-street office were every day filled with
these misguided people.appreheinled in the course
of the precedimr, night. The whole civil power
of the city wits on constant duty with the
Lord Mayor (Mr. Coushe) at its fiend, oho did
hiniaelf Milano al honour by the humanity which he
displayed, always heading firmness with concilia-
tion, but never allowing himself a moment's re.
pose. Still, the riots increased. and it was impos-
sible to calculate the length of their duration. At
length, however, the-rioters, after demolishing the
windows in Bantull-row, proceeded to attaelta great
tin-ware manufactory, close to the turnpike on the
high-road in that visioity. The Proprietor was
a Quaker, and, as such. suspected of bring a
dealer in corn, and the members of that profes-
sion do not use fire-arms. The Quaker's house.
it was then supposed, would prove an easy conquest;
but it never occurred to the assailants. that it con-
tained a force of upwards of :to young mon, will
armed, and prepared for defence. This was the num-
ber of workmen in the employment of the Quaker.
who, apprised of the enensj's approach. equip-
ped themselves with the arms of the isle a Man;
tint is. they knocked out of their stools the spokes
of old coach wheels, winch constituted their legs,
and wielding theta as bludgeons, they sallied out,
and beat pc ace and order with such success into
the heads soil Iders of the mob, as to effect their
eomr: to tspersion; still they never rallied after.
Thus etuled,the riots of the City, which had defied
the civil power for several days, and excited very
general alarm and consternation.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Munster disturbances are alrestd; well put down,
and the tretubling I Airni.telt await judicial punish-
ment. That is remarkable, those convicted at
Limerick (two of whom suffered last week, as one
will this dat) were of a class, in point of birth,
edocatiou, and property, rather unlikely to incur
such disgrace; nor yet were they persons who could
well look, in the event of successful military Teen-
lotion, or political movements, to rise with either
storm ; therefore, I conceive nu attempt to eon-
troul the removal of occupying tenants, and regu-
late the price of tythes, was their original oisject :
hut as the planners of inch scenes cannot tontine
ur stay their progress, private malice often reared its
vengeful hen 1, and houses, as well as persons, were
thus devoted to attack or destruction. The quar-
ter of Limerick county lately convulsed, has Items
comps' atively quiet, 'staid early lcisitebtiims ; it is
also most exeritpt from absent. ex, stud consequently
men of independent, and not .vesgrowit, foamier,

different condition, from all parts of Monster, who
describe it in a general state of quiet ; so that, as
a broken hulls is said (whets cell cured) to derive
added strength in the fractured part, the distarbed
district may enjoy improved quiet ; for you well
know, that such assatteno put down with a aril-
tempered mixture of justice and humanity, meet
