The newspaper of this city contains a poetical in-
vitation to the army, which begins is the foll,wing
manner:—" Honour c ilk; duty commands. Grasp
the sword; and let the heart of every warrior, in-
flamed with the enthusiasm of valOur,repeat the oath,
Death for our country.

They wtize from Stutgard, that the gate, th it
city are iiirricadoed evi!ry night, for tear of being
surprised by an Austrian iiii•rps. The reigning
Elearess of Wunerribitrg is gone to Heidelberg,
probably on this account. If the Austrians should
advance fortb-r, she will prneed to Cassel.

Traveller•, who art ived here early this Jay, bring
the following particulars:—Last Sunday, the 12th,
the French :creel a passage orcr the Danube, at the
town of Gunzburgh, tinder a heavy fire of musketry.
The Austrians fought with desperati,m ; the battle
was general in all the erects of the place. Thrice
the French penetrated doe city, and thrice were they
miulsed as far as the bridge. The Archduke Fer•
diaand and General Mack were present, and led on
fresh troops to the anion. In the evening, a co-
lumn of 12,000 French arrived, AA the exhausted
Austrians were obliged to retire. A French Ge-
neral of distitietion tell on this bloody day. All
Burgati is full of the wounded of both parties. In
the whole town, neither bread, beer, wine* or meat,
can be procured.

FRIDAY, Novi:vino 8.

Captain La aoroan, and a Ru,.ian Olser, art-
rived, on "Fursd ty, at Scarboroug!i, after a passag4si
of five days from Tonningen. They reached t',svn
yesterday; and, we understand, have brought dis-
patches of great importance. The dispatches are
said to contain a treaty of alliance between
Austria, Russia, Prussia, Sweden, and Denmark..
In conformity with the stipulations of this Ticat!4
it is said Hi: Patissfss hl. Lir v is now on his
march, at the head of !MM. men, against the
French ; and the Emperor of Russia is also match-
ing, at the head of an army of 64,003, for the same
destination. This account, so far as it relates to the
accession of Prussia to the common cruise, is confirm-
ed by the Dutch Papers to the 4th, the Paris Papers
of the 31st last, and the Ilarnburgh Mails, due on
Wednesday se'nnight, and Sunday last, which ar-
rived yesterday. Prussia has granted every facility
to the march of the Russians through her territory,
and is sea hag her armies to Franconia, to the Banks
dale Ilhine, and the frontiers of the Batavia's Re-
public. Three armies, amounting to 150.000, are
said to be on their march for these dime several
points ; and a fourth is assembling in Branden•
burgh, to support them. The Court of Vienna
has circulated j narrative of the different nego.
ciations which took place with the ELCCTOR of
B sv•at a, respening the occupation of his terri-
tory, and the incorporation, or accession of the
Bwarian army to that of Austria. It is evident
from it, that the ',:i.ecroa aged throughout with

DIVVY-LANE.

Last night, before the performance commenced,
Pule Reitemnia was called for ; shortly after, the
curtain drew up, and the stage precented all the
male performers, dressed in the naval uniform,
with two tars carrying the British Ensigns. Mr.
)totter, in the uniform of an Admiral, and
Mr. rit sews, is that of a Captain, sang Rade
and were joined by the rest, amidst reiterated
~,nuts of applause from every part of the house.
After the first AR of the play, A Prim. Claim,
Mr. ELLISTOI4 came forward, and addressed the
,u,lience to the following effet

again. NIA lame PA Rimr WAS very well received,
and every thing went off amidst thunders of ap-

sccncs with Br.',,dera were loudly applanded, pant-
calmly that immediately before the execution of
the conspiratnrs, when he takes his last farewell.
After the Play, a new Musical Piece, ir. one ad,
was pei firmed. It is a hasty production,
being got op in honour el the laze glorious viaory.
The Overture consists chiefly of several popular sea
airs, and colielu_tes with flak &i/eh/Oa. When
the curtain rises, the inhabitants of a country vil-
lage are discovered, sitting before the door of an
Foglish cottage; one of the farmers has a news-
paper in his hand, and is supposed to have been
lust reading the tint account of the glorious vic-
tory, An appropriate song is then sung by Mr.
HILL, in the cha-aCter of a sharp-shooter. The
Village schoolmaster then arrives, with a second
edition of the battle. This charaeter is admiraby
supported by Mr. Fa wc xtr, who sings an excellent
comic song, to the tune of ()/, ! a', a tiv,ei !dee 111..nd,
which was universally applauded, and loudly eurar.d.
he next scene is a view of the sea, and the fleets
engaged ; and, after a new song by Mr. IticLanori, to
the tune of The Sturm, the last scene presents a British
Admiral, surrounded by sailors, standing on the
French flag, and the English colours flying over them.
They all point up to heaven, from whence descends a
bright cloud, enveloping Net sox, in a reclining pos-
ture, supported by nroannio, an angel bending over
him. Ride stemma is thenplayed by thefull band,and
sung by Mr. 'Foci roots, with the additional verse,
every person in the house standing uncovered. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and the little piece
went off with eclat.
