LON DON,
THURSDAY, DECLUBSk IS.

His Most Christian Majesty the King of FRANCE
and NAVARRE, has appointed M. D'A Noss, Fs
Oharge ar Af,ires to the Court of Stockholm, in
which quality he has been acknowledged by the
King of Swann. Louis XVIII. has besides made
other diplomatic appointments to the Courts of St.
James's, of St. Petersburg'', and Constantinople
We have heard. that Count D'Esca as, who, with so
much honour, loyalty, and ability, has hiv-er to trans-
acted the .affairs in this country of the French ROUII/
Doss, is the nobleman chosen by the King of FRANCE,
as his representative to the King of GREAT BRITAIN.
It is said that the Duke of is nomi-
nated His Most CHRISTIAN MAJESTY'S Ambassador
to the Emperor of RUSSIA ; and that the Marquis
DE BONNAIS is only waiting for the departure of
Bois AAAAA c's emissary, BRUNII, from the 'Turkish
capital, to assume the same chars ter to the GRAND
SIGNOR. At the Courts of Vienna and Copenhagen,
the Usurps has only Charges d' liraires, and if our in-
formation be accurate, there, as well as at Berlin,
rebellion will not mach Langer insult Royalty, by
its dangerous and scandalous presence. This is only
the beginning of a system of policy agreed on by the
Sovereigns of the North to put an end, if possible, to
those atrocwus outrages which Europe has experi-
enced Com the French Revolutionary tyrants, and to
crush a r:volutionary dynasty and usurpation which
threaten the destru'lissi of ail hereditary mo-
narchy. and the anni.lilation of all lawful so-
vereignty. When the season approaches nearer for
armies to take the fiid, an address from the
combined powers to the Freud; nation will fully ex_
plain the motives of this political, 'lora!, and mili-
tary league. We will only aid. that should the
Negotiations, now carrying on, meet with an issue
almost regarded as certain, Louis XVIII. as King
of France and N.trarre will be one of the Sovereign
Princes of this league, and put in a situation to
raise and support an army of Loyal Frenchmen.
Vendee is not pacified. as the official print of
has represented it. Four respeetable
in7sons from that Cream, were sent to Calmar,
is assure Louis XVIII. of the fidelity of the Ven-
deans. hut they Ai rived after I lis MAJESTv's depar.
t" re for Riga, whither they have follovied
These circumstances will no doubt interrupt the joy

which the Corsican puppet would otherwise feel
during the fetes of his sacrilegious Coronation. He
cannot be ignorant of them, having spies every
where.

A Private Letter from Hamburg.•, ~f the 30th
ult. states. " that, hum the stagnation of all trade,
but mote so, from the repeated extortions of mo-
ney by Bo bandittis in Ilanover, the
Burghers, at a general meeting, had declared to
the Senate their incapacity of paying any higher
conti :billions, and therefore would not submit to
any et the plans of taxation laid before them. The
So3re, in consequence, determined to diminish the
expenccs of the military establishment of the city,
and to make up by it the defi, it in their expences,

required by such cruel circumstances. All the for-
tifications are to be immediately demolished and
the city to he only surrounded by a wall ar.4l a ditch.
All the artillery, with the exception of .51) pieces,
are to be sold, and all the ground gained by the
demolished ramparts, &c. is to be disposed of for
hguse., or planting gardens. Many per-
sms arc, however, c. :pinion, that, evca ....ill there

sacrifices, money enough cannot be obtained, to pay
the last loan, or rather requisition, imposed upon
this free and neutral city, by the French marauders,
whose vicinity to Frankfort, in 1800, forced the Se-
nate of that neutral town, from the same causes, to
resort to the same expedients."

A Dublin Mail arrived yesterday, with letters
and papers to the 9th inst. They state, that the
Commander-in-Chief has set out fur Athlone ; that
on the sth inst. three regiments, which had been
embarked at the Cove of Cork, for foreign service,
were suddenly disembarked, and marched into the
interior ; and that a vessel of considerable force,
supposed to be a French or Spanish frigate, was
seen off the North-west coast. These circumstances
gave rise to various reports. The particulars will
be found in the last page.

Yesterday the PORTUGUESE, RUSSIAN, and NZA•
Pour AN A taBASSADORS, transafled business at Lord
HARROWIY'S Office.
A Court of Direetors was yesterday held at the
India House, when ALECANDIR GRAY, Esq. was
appointed Second in Council ; and Capt. N. Mac-
•Lisrea, formerly of the Bengal Establishment,
Third in Council, of the New Government forming
by the Diredors for Prince of Wales's Island and its
dependencies.
The Court adjourned at six o'clock, till to-morrow.
Yesterday the Purser of the Morning:on, Cap-
tain Kelso, arrived at the East India House, with
an account of the safe arrival of that ship, in com-
pany with the Anna, off Dover, late last night.
The Mornineon and Anna left Bengal the 6th of
July, in company with the Prince s Mary, Northamp-
ton, and Maria, from which latter ships they sepa-
rated off the Nicobar Islands. These ships had not
arrived when the Aforainglun and Anna left St. He-
lena the 16th O,lober.

Private letters received by these ships state, that
the war with Holkar was not concluded. Great
preparations had bees made to crush this hostile
Chieftain.
Lord Evelyn Stuart and Mrs. Hunter are passen-
gers in the Anna.
Mr. and Mrs. Auspini are passengers on bcard the
ilfernington.
Yesterday, being the day fixed on for the Election
of Common Council for the Ward of Bishopsgate
Without, for the ensuing YLar, the undermentioned
Gentlemen were unanimously reelected to that
office :

Sir W Rawl,l.s, gut. I Edward Clarke, Esq.
John E-q. I Satnuel Nash, Esq.
The several other Ward Officers were ele.2ed at the
same time. Atter which, an eleg.ust cold collation
was given by the Common Council, at the White
Hart Tavern, Bishapsgate-street, to their coustitu-

ent s.
Government have exchanged the Dutch Captain
Buts V•N "it'SLONG, late Comm tiidant of the
Dutch Marine Forces, captured at Surinam, for the
Hon. Captain C.m.vit.t., late of the &marl; and as
a cartel for the exchange of prisoners has been open-
ed been the two Governments on the mos: libetal

footing, there is no doubt that the British now in
Holland will very soon be restored to their country
and friends.
The partisans of the late General HAMILTON in
particular, and indeed almost every description of
people in America, appear to have been extremely
indignant at the open contempt manifested by Col.
Burrs, for the laws against the pra.lice of duelling.
That Gentleman, with an indittment for murder
found against him in one of the States, took Lis se.o
in the city of ‘Vashington. as Presidar.• ct the Senate
at the opening of Congress.
If the accounts that have arrived from Madrid be
true. we shall not be surprised to hear that the mi-
sery of civil war has been added to those evils which
have for some time atlliCted the kingdom tat Spa;.i.
His C•TI101.1C MAJESTY i, it Is said, to retire
from the fatigues of Government. and a Regency is
to be established in the person of the QUEEN and the
Prince of PLACE. The idea of excluding the Pr;nce
of Asruai AS and his brother, and of vesting the So-
vereign power in the hands of a subjset, has pro-
duced the greatest dissatistadtion, particularly among
the Grandees, to whom the Prince of !laser., raised
from obscurity to his present eminence, has been
long obnoxious.
Bos•T AZT' had lcrtg ago destined the Palace of
Lutemburgh for his brother listen. because it was
formerly occupied by the elder brothers to the kings
of France. At his return from Meats, hearing that
is not yet occupied by do because the
Chancellor of the Senate, LA Pus A. had not yet
any house to lodge in, he became very angry, and
ordered I.A Pi scc to evacuate this palace in eight
days. This has causal a great coolness between
him and the Senate ; a body. which many think will
won be declared unnecessary is the French Empire.
In the late minor French Papers, tilere is an a-ti
de on the subjea of Sir G. Rum Nocia's arrest, evi-
dently fabricated at Paris. but inserted under the ti-
de of Lel es die 1e Hamiturrf. It contains a VA! icty
of futile speculations on this atrocious measure.
Amongst others, it is said. "It (the at-rest of Sir
Geo e. t!: s. perhaps, tided to punish Sir .1 A MIS
CRASIL an% want of gond faith, and the tra.-7rj iii-
pudtrce (as they scurrilously term it) of the British
Government, who have received him with every
mask of consideration and regard." The Assn! jay
of such a speculation, in the face of Fouc et's ,ute-
ntent, contained in his letter to Marshal BessA-
DOT -re, is sufficiently evident.
Substance of the answer of Baron llAanz s s i.o,
the Prussian Minister, to the Note presented by Mr.
JACKSON, to the Court of Berlin, on the subjea of
the seizure of Sir G. Rt.: se so LD : " That he took
the earliest opportunity, in obedience to His M as LS-
y's commands, to express the astonishment nnd re-
grrt with which His MAJESTY had received the in-
telligence of this attack upon the rights of nations, in
the person of a Minister accredited to a Circle of
whisla he was DireCtor. In consequence, His Pau.-
, St AN MAJESTY did not hesitate for an instant to
comply with the request of Mr. J•citsos, and he
had dispatched a courier to Paris, to the French Go.
vernment, by whom he required the immediate 1.-
berauon of Sir G. RUNIC'S°. Hi, MAJESTY had
reason to expelt a favourable and satisfaetory result
from those proceedings."

THEATRE,

The new Opera was received last night with in-
creased applause ; almost evapit song was encored,
and we may consider it now Is full posses'sion
public favour. The Comedy ogee Child ,f Malone
followed, for the purpose of ilabducing i young
lady in the charaaer of Arnanthis, to a London
audience. It was not a very promising debt.
The Lady appeared to be about twenty-rive,
tall, slender, and genteel ; but she was so completely
overpowered by her fears and the novelty of Ler
situation, that tOr the first aa she was scarcely
audible, and in the second, we in vain looked fur
that irresistible delicacy and feeling we have seen dio
played in the charatter. Mrs. Stoootis, Mr.

ALDERM4N •

Yesterday morning died, aged 86, Mr. Alderrr.,n
BOYDELL. His dei,th was °cc:ukases! by an it.-
flammation of his luls, brought ea by a swore
cold, caught last week in the conscientious discharge
of his official duty, at the Sessions ilouse in the 013
Bailey. Thus society has lost, full of years and
full of honours, ore of its most respectable niem-
bets, both as a man and a magistrate, and Amine,'
by all mankind, to be the father of the fine arts in
this Country.
This gentleman filled the office of LORD MAvos,
in the yeas 1790, and it was expected he would
succeeded the late Alderman Haat s.v, in the Wa.3
of Bridge Without, it being a Ward where no duty
is required ; but Sir Waa KIN LEWES having filled
the Civic Chair in 1780, succeeded to the Ward by
seniority; and the Ward of Lime-street, which Sir
Wayeist represented, was declared vacant at the
last Court of Aldermen. These are two Wards
now vacant, one of them, we understand, is can-
vassing for Mr. J. BOVDELL, nephew to the late
worthy Alderman.

grisTMINSTER SCHOOL THEATRICALS.

Last night the young gentlemen of Westminster
school performed, for the second time, according is
annual custom, TERENPE'S celebrated play, The
4,1,./phi, The east of the piece was exatltly the same
a<nn the first representation, and we should have
5,q little indeed to add ,u our former remarks, were
~or that the intervening space of time has been s
e:nployed, that t!le performance of last even-
•,;y clearly evinced the preceding one to have been
r;;IelY a grand public rehearsal.
On the resent occasion, also, the play was pre-
ceded by a prologue, which was spoken in Latin, by
T If, in a very animated and masterly style,
and received by the audience with many acknow-
ledgments of loud and repeated plaudits. The same
gentleman was equally successful in his portraiture
of the philosophic Attie; and, from the first to the
last of the part, created and maintained a degree of
interest in the breasts of the audience, which re-
:ieEted the highest honour on his ta'te, his judgment,
~ td Isis feeling. The following passages were given
in a style, which drew down thunders of applause.
quencrumn^hominent in anmute

and almost immediately afterwards, as descriptive
of his own character :
quoit fortunatum iati putant,
Uttaurm nunquam habui. life contra, bre mania
aad then :
" Nadi quid mantiri aut Glee iusuerit Patrem, aut
ANdebit, tanto ruagis audebit cate;ns.
Tudure et libaralitate :iberos
ketinere, satins ease credo, q uam mew "

The limits of our paper wiil not permit us to give
many quotations, or we could add many more which
were equally well delivered ; and shall, therefore,
content ourselves with saying, that Mr. SMITH
played the part throughout in a very superior style
of :Laing, and richly merited the repeated plaudits
he obtained. We cannot call to mind two parts
more naturally and more pleasantly contrasted than
those of these two brothers ; and, after what we
have said of the Gentleman who played Mitio, we
cannot. —der to avoid repetition, do more ample
justice to Ar. Lev van et's Denies, than to say—
.. Par siobile fratruln."
It was really a high finished piece of ailing, par-
ticularly in the fourth ad. His peevish and 'mut•
ed delivery of the following line,
" Matron* et 'liver-familia, in una domo ;"

by
Sir
he
'di

and the cool philosophic answer of Mitre,
' Cur non !"
had a sort of electric effect, and produced, of course,
a slice eeding pe of thunder.
The part of Sanaa, was extremely well performed
,y Mr. Day. andit being dressed in the style of the
Belcher' of the day, gave an extraordinary effrd to
the elegant Latin of Tertasca. i The Grits of Mr.
MACKWORTH was given in a stile and manner. en
simple, so easy, so neturil, and at the same time
with so iniich real feelin?, that we cannot di him
more ample justice, than 'by saying, that we believe
every auditor who did not understand a syl-
lable of Latin, WAS as much affected, as if ft,
had been ritually well delivered in the English
tongue. Great praise is also due ro Mr. I. Cr.• avcit's
Here, and the Sea/rata and Cnetthera of Mr. Wise-
asst and Mr. Law ; these characters are but short,
and certainty a,e, reeipareti-dy with the others, of
small consequence ; but they are component parts,
without which, the play could nnt be perfect, and
it is highly to their credit, that: their efforts were by
no means less successful than those who had more
brilliant pasts assigned them. In short, we do iiot
hesitate to say, that the whole Play was a finished
performance.
A very !tumonrous and nervous Epilogue, in
dialogue, followed, and was admirably %vie! deli-
vered by Mr. Da sr and gr. Feac. in the chatac-
teis of Senate and Syriac.
Having thus given, as far as our limits will per-
mit, our sentiments as to the performance of the
play, we deem it incumbent to inform our reader•
of the several celebrated personages, who houoursd
that performance wiih their presence.
We think it proper to announce, in the first in-
stance, that truly worthy and dignified Prelate, the
Archbishop of *York, the learned Doctor Maea-
uAv, once the Master of Westminster School, who
was received on his entree with universal and enthu-
siastic applause. With such an auditor sitting near
to the stage, we cannot wonder that the actors
were stimulated by a somethin3 more than common
Pni.etwr, and that their effort; were acci.rdingly
crowned with extraordinary effect and success. Al-
ter the Right Rev. Prelate, came his Gras of BED•
you o and Dr. VINCENT ; and last,
Tisoutii not the leaNt 1.1 our dear love,"
appeared the roust no,eva, who was instantly re-
cognised, and received with a torrent of applause.
lie was led through the pit, and condueted behind
ihe scenes, in order, as we suppose, to be introduced
to the several performers (lithe evening. In a few
minutes he returned, and was placedavith his friends,
,n the side boa on the right hand from the stage.
This extraordinary youth, always highly interesting,
never appeared more so to us than on the present
occasion. He seemed to be truly sensible that he
was a spettator and auditor et the performance of
some youths who are the first scholars, and allied
to the first families in the kingdom ; that he was a:-
tending to the language and sentiments of one of the
most celebrated among the Roman draraatic writers,
and that in the auditory there were present some of
the mos: learned characters of the present day.
He was accordingly absorbed in the deepest atten-
tion to every pint of the scene ; so truly se. that his
energetically seemed to say with the
" Let me be all, bet me attentiln still

LAIT
COURT OF KING% BENCII. Gui Long it.,Dee. 1!.
Si/iing4 41 Nisi Prior, before Lord ELLRNBOROUGH,

PACK AND OTHERS r. MACKIE., ESQ.
In this ease Messrs. R. Rick, Thomas Lewis, and
.1. Macnally,owners of the Greenland ship the 0,,,,,,
were Plaintiffs, and brought their anion against the
Defendant, Donald Hugh Mackie, Esq. Captain of
His Majeity's armed brig the Prince William, to re-
cover damages for the detention of seven of the
Ocean's crew, who were impressed, contrary to the
Mt of Parliament.

Mr. Guises, as Counsel on the part of the Plain.
tiffs, in stating the case to the Jury, said he did not
by any means intend or mean to condemn that very
useful and necessary service of impressing seamen
tot His Majesty's fleet ; a service so highly essential
to public security in this present times ; but his inten-
tion was to obtain for the Plaintiffs the protection
which certain Ads of Parliament afforded them,
for the preservation of one of the most important and
useful braches of the trade of this country, on which
the great superiority of our fleet in a great
degree depended, if not for its existence, at lee t for
its greatness. The Greenland trade, he c intinued,
required the co-operation and assistance of men well
accustomed to th.t severity of the Northern climate,
and to the imminent dangers of that service, on
which their profits so entirely depend. Two Ads
of Parliament had been passed for the purpose of
exempting persons pursuing this occupation from
the imnress service, and protections were granted
them in order that they might not be molested.
But, cogstrary to the mandate of this high authority,
CaptaiA Mackie thought proper to send an officer on
hoard the Ocean; and, although the pro:a/ions were
produced, fifteen of the hands were ordered on board
the Prince Witham, and, in the sequel, seven were
detained : the number left on board the OCCO7I were
wholly inadequate to her defence.
It appeared in evidence, that when the Ocees.i.
being homeward bound, arrived at the mouth of the
Humber, the Defendant sent a lieutenant and three
men from the Prince Irilltam, ordered fifteen of
the Greenland men on board the armed brig, and
after some time detained seven of them, and sent
the rest back : their protections were produced to the
Defendant, but it answered no purpose. The Cap.
tain of the Ocean, being so deprived of his men, de-
sired that the Defendant would take the charge of his
ship, and insisted on remaining on board the Prix, e
William, the ship was supposed to be worth 12,0001.
Upon this the Defendant ordered a rope to be slung
at the yard-atm ; but, whether for the purpose of
hanging or drowning the Captain of the Ocean, it
did not appear. It was stated by the Master of the
Greenlandman, that the crew of the brig appeared '
very relut.uu to coaiply with, or/Aber to perform I
this duty, and, in the end, after some words had
passed between him and the Captain of the Price
Wilharn, the Master was suffered to depart without
further molestation.
It also appealed that the num:ser of men remain-
ing on board the Ocean were inadequate to her de-
tence and proteetion ; but, on the other hand, there
was .. competent number to navigate her, and she
arrived in safety in the Port of Londte
Mr. G A RIMW. on the part of the Defendant, ad-
tkesseri the Court end -Jury at some kngth : h- ob-
served, that the Defendant was a most respectable
officer in His Majesty's service, and being Defend-
ant in no less than three actions of this nature, the
costs alone would be a very heavy and serious
charge.
This circumstance took place at a time, which, he
observed, should be well remembered ; a time when
Lord Keitt, for the safety of the nation, had under
his orders a more numerous naval armament than
was ever committed to the command of any British
Admiral. In consequen.:e of the very urgent ne-
cessities of the set vice, the subordinate officers were
most adively employed for the purpose of procuring
hands on every possible opportunity, from all the
homeward bound ships that came in their way,
and it was in the performance of this im-
portant duty, that the men in question were
taken. He suggested, that although the Marine
Gentlemen were of very few wo ds, and, more-
over, very indifferent lawyers, ye:, we all know,
they atchieved very pliant zillions; but, notwith-
standing this, the constration of Ads of Parlia-
ment, and the exenlpations of certificates and pro-
tedious, were not entirely obvious to them ; and the
utmost use which they made of their scholastic ac-
corn, islinients amounted to the preparation of
dispatches relative to engagements, captures, kc.
which generally were in terms as concise and direds
as the nature of the Lids would admit.

Mr. GAR ROW WAS proceeding, when he was in-
terrupted by Mr. Gass, who told his Lordship, that
the übjea of his clients was fully answered ; and
that they would be satisfied with one shilling da-
mages in each cause ; they bad no wish whatever to
oppress the Defendant I as their only aim was, that
the lavrt which had given protettion to this trade
might be understood and protetted.
Mr. GARROW declared, that this offer, on the
part of the Plaintiffs, was a very handsome and li-
beral one, for which he made his acknowledgment,,
on behalf of tin Defendant, Who, he observed,
was, at that time, on the service of his country.
Lord Et Litaaoliouna.--" I cannot AVCALI (%s.
serving upon this very handsome conctua of the
Plaintiffs ; and I really do not recollel any occasion
in which I have seen an instance of more commend-
able liberality."
A verdict was accordingly entered, for one shil-
ling damages in ibis cause; and .:►so in the causes of
Paul s. Macao, and Cumining :. name.

MARDY SC/LITIY.

This was an aaton tin- goods sold and delivered.
It appeared, that the Plaintiff was a wholesale gro-
cer in London, and the Defendant a retail grocer,
residing at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. On the 26th of
December, 180,1, the Defi.ndaat's wife ordered the
Plaintiff to send some sugars and other articles by
the first ship which should sail for that place. By
the wbaringer's notice, it appeared, the first ship
which would sail for Newcastle was the Ifartforot.
The Plaintiff accordingly packed and delivered, at
the 'lluce Crane WriarL in Thames-street, the
goods ordered, and gave advice of their being sent
on board the 'fortiori. However. it turned out that
the flertford did not immediately sail, but a ship
calla; the Beeitifkl, which was also in the coasting
