A Dutch Mail arrived lest night with Papers to

HAARLEM, NOVEMBER IS.

We learn from Hamburgh that the assembly of
the citizens jected the proposal of the Senate,
to let the est tariff of import duties continue
in force some time longer, and it will therefore
cease from the let of January, 1823. The de-
ficiency in the revenue of the city which will be
canted by this measure must he provided for by
other taxes, the burden of which, it is expected,
will be compensated by an increase of the com-
merce of the city.

NOVEMBILit 22.

We have accounts from Batavia of July 27,
which mention that his Excellency the Governor
General set out on the 20th upon a tour through
the island of Java, for the purpose of examining
the slate of the island. He arrived the same day
at Tainjor, accompanied by his Lady, the Baroness
Cape Hen, and suite.

The Paris Papers tip to Monday have arrived.
We notsced yesterday the proposition of a Deputy
in the Spanish Cones for requiring an explicit
avowal from France as to her disposition and
feeling, whether friendly or otherwise, towards
Spain. This motion was wisely rejected:; but
the spirit which dictated it is not confined within
•the circumscribed limit of • certain 4bomber
of the Natality( 'Representatives. :It prevails
throughout the country, and has urged the
'Government to make warlike ,preparations of the
most formidable description, which,•combiued with

the euirgetic seal of-private inii:viduals, will en ible
it to repel the invasion of foreign force, and sustain
the dignity of au independent and powerful natiorr.
Intelligence from Madrid of the 17th gives a detail-
ed account of the measures which have been
adopted, slid of the activity with winch tile orders
of the Government are carried into effect in the
war departments. The title of ComMander
Chief of the three corps d'a,rree of Catalonia, Ns.
vsrre, and Amnon, is to be conferred upon MINA,
tinder whose orders Generals Toaarsos and VELAII.
CO will serve as his Lieutenants. The first of these
corps will be increased to 40,000 men. As a sti-
mulus to popular enthusiasm, a royal decree has
been issued, sanctioning the general esiublishitient
of theatres, in which dramatic pieces, whose subjec‘
is couuected with national history, will be re.
presented.

The affairs of the Greeks weir a favourable as.
peel. Letters from Bitoglia communicate the re-
taking of Soli, from which the Turks were driven
by the combined forces of the Greeks and Sabots.
The POPSr it is said, has interested himself warmly
in favour of the Greek Deputies to the Cougrets.
The town of Roveudo has been assigned them fur
their residence.

A Lisbon Mail has arrived with Paper, to the
17th instant. The Session of the Cortes was closed
on the 4th by the KING in person, who, in his
Speech from the Throne, assured them •• that
the most public declarations of the Governments of
Fnince and England have fully secured tbern against
the fears of any attack upon siheia independ-
ence." ilia MAJESTY also expressed his hopes that
the Brazils would remain united with his European
dominions.

We are happy to find, from the Papers
received from Ireland, that the country con-
tinues tranquil. There has been a count, meet-
ing iu Kerry, in which, contrary to the system
adop►ed in Limerick, the Magistrates btu select-
nd the constables not from Major WILCOCKI'
Police, but from the resident yeomanry. Major
WILCOCK!' remarked, that nothing could afford the
Lord Lieutenant more real gratification than bring
thus usured that the Government would be freed
by the activity of the Magistrates of the county
from the necessity of devoting the same degree of
its attention-required in other places for the pre-
servation of the public tranquillity. Tbere is to be
a meeting in Tipperary on the Sd or 4th of nest
month, to take the subject of the commutation of
tithes into consideration. The requisition to the
High Sheriff has been signed by Lords GLENC A I. 1„
LLA DAVF , DUN A LUCY, and LISMORE, as well as
by several of the principal proprietors in that
great county. A counter requisition against the
meeting, it is said, is promoted by the Earl of
DONOCCIIIIIOII.

The Dublin Papers contain the pastoral address
of Doctor DOT LE, the Roman Catholic Bishop of
Ferns and Kildare, to the Deanery of Kilcock, to
be read at the public ma►ses in the parish, being
the only part of the dioce►e in which illegal assoct-
stion i► supposed to have made any progress. It
however applies equally to every part of the king-
dom that suffers from the same evil. It is an able
and eloquent argument, well calculated to produce
the intended effect.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Council. was
held at the Foreign Office in Downing-street, which
was attended hy—
The Lord Chancellor Carl of Harrowby, Earl of Liver-
pool, Earl of Westmorland, Viscount Sidoiouth, Mr. Cau-
sing, Earl Maths''s, the Chancellor of the Eurbeqoer, Vos.
count Melville, Mr. Wynn, Mr. Ruhiusoo, and Mr. Peel.
The Cabinet sat till past four. The Council was
to have been held last Friday, but was postponed
nit account of the KING holding a Court. It was
understood the Cabinet was summoned by Mr.
CANNING. At the breaking up the Earl of LIVER.
POOL left town for Coombe V 1 ood.
Yesterday the Duke of Yon held a Levee as
Commander-in-Chief,Mit his office in the Horse
Guards, which was attended by Lord SALTOUN,
Sir G. BLAME, and several others.

THEATRES.

DRDRY•LANc.
Though the weather was rather thilsvoursli'e
last night for the visitors of a theatre, the home war
very well attended. We have, on a previous occa-
sion, noticed with ple■are the very effective manner
in which the Provoked Husband is performed. The
cast is strong, comprising a large portion of comic
talent ; all the characters, without exception, are
sustained in a style of excellence which merits the
highest commendation. The ballet of the Venetian
Nuptials hit made a very perceptible advance la
public favour since its first representation. Mr.
and Mrs. OSCAR BYRNE and Mr. and Mrs. Noate
have reams to be proud of the eclat it enjoys, and
to which their exertions have au powerfully con-
tributed.

COYENT-OAItDtN.

In consequence of min FIALLANDeII continued
indisposition, a Mrs. BoYI.II, who undertook the
part last season, on the occurrence of a similar
emergency, appeared last evening as Sylvia, in the
play of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. She was fa-
vourably received. Mini M. Tags was in fine voice,
and sang with that delicate taste and mellow sweet-
ness, which, combined with the interest excited by
her personal appearance. have rendered her Julia
a favourite character. The play is so well known.
from its frequent representation here, that it is
needless to make any further observation.

YHA OLYMPIC.
A melo drama, called The Mountain Bre, was
produced for the first time at this Theatre an
Monday, and repeated last night, with, if possible,
increased success; the scenery is delightful, and
among the most happy efforts of GKEENWOOD
the whole of the characters are supported with a
degree of talent seldom witnessed at a minor
Theatre. In the course of the piece a very pleuitig
ballet was introduced, and received great applause;
the graceful and elegant deicing of Miss ADCOCK
was particularly noticed and eckisoriledged by con-
tinued mud merited approbation. A comic little
sketch was also introduced, founded on Lovers'
Quairels,eutitled Love Leiters, in which the power.
tel talent of Mrs. EDERTOM was brought into
action as Jacinths, which part she sustained with
that excellence displayed i►► all her efforts. The
everlasting Toss wed Jerry, and The Tread Mill,
continue to delight and attract numerous audiences.

The Duke of GLotiverrEtt is expected at
Croomr, Worcestershire, on Thursday next. Ills
