On this part, intended by the author as a type of the English na-

N% itu it; for, being reduced to the last point of human wretchedness,
the sympathy of the spectator never ceases to flow. It has been
;advanced by some, that sensibility is no necessary ingredient of the
art of the actor ; but haw, we would ask these casuists, could the
bankrupt tradesirrin and broken-hearted father in John Bull be re'

Excellent as Mr. Bartley's Cir. Joku Falstaff' is, he has proved
that it is not to that alone he can trust for professional celebrity.
In Jab Thwaberry he is equally natural and original. By turns

BOXING AT COOMBE. WOOD.

A meeting of amateurs .took place yesterday on this spot,
where many a hero has bled, to witness the boxing match
betwixt Croxey, the sailor, (as we formerly understood, but
who, in point of fact, is not one of that hardy race of
Britons), and the elder Lancaster, known in the ring in
some combatS, but. particularly with Oliver, by whom he was
easily vanquished. A 24-feet ring was former, in which the
combatants set-to at one o'clock.—Seconds, Oliver and Pain-
ter for Lancaster, and Joe .IVard and Paddington Jones for
Croxey, who was backed at six and seven to four.
We shall not attempt to give the mends of a combat which causal
much disappointment to the ring, nod which is described in a kw
lines. Croxey rumbled his antagonist in the first five routois of tl.e
combat, and had the best of it. I...incaster possessed most science,
which he displayed in planting first hits, but Croxey got in and did
some Execution. Ile, 'however, glaringly 'exhibited the ti hitelocla iu

a drop of blood was spilt during the combat ; Joe Ward tired of en-

AMERICA.

We are sorry to find that the infnrmatinn which we ex-
r:*ev;icely gave the ee weeks since. of the intention of the Ame-
rican Govei nment to " avail itself of t'se absence of Admiral
Cochrane in the south to detach squadron& from the noith,"
etas proved too correct. Several, it appears, are now at sea;
bat, as to their numbers or names great uncertainty prevails.
We trust a good watch has been kept on the two ships of the
line. Their union with two or three heavy ft igates, might
be productive of the most serious consequences. But, ilailv
accounts must be expected, as well as of this circumstance,.as
of the result of the New Orleans Expedition—an expedition,
we repeat, in which, if the inhabitants do not join us uno an
24,10 et una voce. we have every occasion to fear, will turn out
as disastrous as any in our annals.
We thus, it is to be feared, shall close our military with
as much disappointment as our diplomatic career. Of this
;rah we daily have too many proofs, and in addition to the
intelligence already arrived of the Congress and Constitu-
tion being at sea, a fart allowed by the Admiralty, pirivate
accounts are said to he in tcwn of a 90 gun ship bay-
ing left one of the harbouts of the United States. By a
reference to The .Vational Register of the Bth, it wilt be zee')
that both the 90's %vete in a state of preparation for sea, and
it should appear that sufficient attention had not been said
t" he blockade of the northern ports, while all the fleet was
busy in the Gulph of Mexico!
Ht urly accounts may be expected of the result of the
Congress at Hartford, which was to meet the 15th ult. and
ue hope that the state of •the finance, and the important de-
el4ration " of the non-existence of such an idea as national
c'editi" will effiird them such a stimulus as to unseat Mr.
Madison, and save him the trouble and ourselves the disgrace
attached co the. ratification of the Trcaty of Ghent.

HOAX ENTRAORDIN.4RY.

During the whole of Saturday week Bedford-row exhibited
the same scene which Berrrees-street did two years since,
Some mischievous wag had summoned by two peony-post
letters nearly one half of the trat'eimen of Londot., to wait
upon the Rev. Dr. Hutton, of Bedford-r• w, ..ith various
commodities in which they deal. At an early hour that
morning' the family were disturbed by the arrival of a hearsa
and six horses, with mourning coaches t“ cop esporld„ Shortly
afterwaids, an elegant post coach with six horses drove
the horses and, postillions were decorated with fit vt,uts, as if to
carry into the country a new married couple. Nest came a
post chaise, and fonr, with the same &emotions. Then
followed several coffins, plain and ornainented—not forget-
ting one patent receptacle of 14111(1 for frail morality.
Now and then a solitary one-horse chaise drove uv to enliven
the scene, and a mob speedily collected. The boys el uelly

POLITICAL DiS2UISITION.

PRESENT STATE OF FRANCE.

Tt is difficult to account for the change that has lately
taken place in the_ public opinion in France. towards the
English. All the British prisoners of war who r;turn from
that counqy praise the conduct of the people, who, reg:lrd
less of the differences existing between the two governments
bestowed every mark of attention that could lighten the woes
of captivity. Even under the sway of Buonaparte, the
English were loved and esteemed in France, and setting all
reosons of state apart, the French admired -the firmness, the
va!nur and unanimity, which the British nation displayed in
the contest. At present all is changed. Freed by England
from the iron rod of their- oppresser, the Frenchsee in the
English nothing but enemies !

In restoring the Bourbons to the throne of their ancestors,
England has only followed the public and unanimous wishes
of the whole French nation, wbo, cast down by the reverses
which she had experienced, perceived in that event a.term
to her.miseries, which she never'could. attain upder Buona-
parte.
If :wenty-five years of calamities have sot ornre4 suffi-
cient to correct the volatile and restless cha :icier of the
FICI3C11: If twenty-five years of banislu»ent have not suf-
ficed to rem,:ive the prejudices of the Bourbons and teach
them the art of governing a people, it is not the fault of
England, but of Louis XVIII. and of the French themselves.

,t -;

If England seeks her own interests, she only performs
the duty which every nation owes itself. She is generous,
and knows how to• pay due respect to Sovereigns who ren-
der their subjects happy. even- whilst she contends with
their power. She appreciatis great men in every.land. If
Louis XVIII. and. the Princes of his family in the maturity of
their judgment► remove those men from their councils and
yield to the influence of the ignorant and senseless, the blame
lies with them and not with the English.
Should the weak and imprudent conduct of the Bourbons
draw down fresh misfortunes upon their heads, will they be
laid to the charge of England ?
Woe to those Princes, if they have forgotten that the Co-
lossus of the French Monarchy was overthrown, through ig-
norance of the art of reigning. . .

- THE SKIIIMI.SII.
FROM WALTER SCOTTB NEW POEM, "THE LORD
OF' IHE ISLES."

"What train of dust, with trumpet sound
And glimmering spears, it wheeling round
Our leftward flank?"—the Monarch cried,
To Moray's earl who rode beside,
"Lo! round thy station pass the foes !
Randolph thy wreath has lost a rose."---
The Earl his visor closed, and said,
" My wreath shall bloom, or life shall Me.
Follow, my household !"—And they go
Like lightning on the advancing file.

" My liege," said noble Douglas then,
" Earl Randolph has but one to ten;
Let me go forth his band to aid,"
I' Stir not. The error lie bath made,
Let him amend it as he may ;
I will not weaken mine aria)."
Then rose the conflict cry,
And Douglas's brave heart swell'd high,
"My liege," he said. " with patient ear
I must not Moray's death knell hear."
"Then go—but speed thee back again."
Forth sprung the Donglas with his train;
But when they won a rising hill.
He bade his followers hold them still.—
"See, see! the routed Southern fly;
The Earl bath won the victory.
to! where 3on steeds run masterless,
His banner towers above the press.
Rein up; our presence would impair
The fame me came too late to share."
Back to the host the Douglas rode,
And soon glad tidings are abroad,

That, Dayncotort by stout Randolph slain,
His followers fled with loosened rein,
That skirmish closed the busy day,
And co‘ncled in battle's prompt array,
Each army on their weapons lay.

It was a night of lovely June,
High rode in cloudless blue the mooni'
Demayet smiled beneath her ray;
Old Stirling's towers arose in light,/
And twined in links of silver bright
Her winding river lay.
Ah ! gentle Planet, other sight
Shall giect thee, next returning night,
Of broken arms and banners tore,
And marshes dark with liftman gore,
And piles of slaughtered men and horse,
And Forth that floats the (recruit cone,
And many a wounded wretch to plain
Beneath thy silver light in vain!
But now, from England's host, the cry
Thon hear'st of wassail revelry,
While frOni the Scottish legions pass
The n►nr►nur'd prayer, the early mass !
Here numbers had presumption given ;
There, bands u'crinatcled sought aid tom Heaven.

Louis XVIII. and his family ought to be convinced that
they govern the same Prance. but not the same people, as
their ancestors. If they do not adopt that opinion and alter
their conduct accordingly, and the same causes continue to
produce the same effects, how can they hope to sit on an
unshaken throne?.

tEngland considered their restoration as putting an end to
all the animosities which had so long divided. Europe, as a
bond of close alliance between two great nations capable of
appreciating each other, and securing their respective inde-
pendence and felicity. Such are still the sentiments of Enc.-
land towards France. Against her own interests does she
not every day tell Louis XVIII. " Consider yourself as the
protector of the laws, respect liberal opinions, patronize the
arts, the sciences, the manufaCtures ; remember that you are
on a Throne, not in retirement ; display an useful magnifi-
cence, and set free the course and expression of public opi-
nion, for none but weak or senseless governments rep: ess it
Not only England, but all Europe hoped that the return.
of the Bourbons would restore order And perfect tracqnillity
in France. But, on the contrary, a general disquietude
1 pervades every spirit in that country, and the number of the
discontented. augments daily. Opinions are shackled, arbi-
trary arrests grow frequent, and through the ignorance or want
of sense of those placed at the head of affairs, chiefly emi-
, grants, who wish to govern .according to their old system
and find themselves embarrassed and unable to execute their
design, a fatal stagnation pervades every department.
The Police once so watchful has lost all its activity. Rob-
beries and murders are committed day and night, and in the
most frequented places.
The only event the French now look to with hope is the
result of the Congress of Vienna, They hope to recover the
Low Countries and the Isle of France. On the other hand,
the emigrants fear the return of Talleyrand, and seek every
means of injuring his credit both with the king and with the
nation, and of abolishing the Legislative Bedy.
The army, filled,with discontents, only longs for war, espe-
cially the immense. onrnher of reformed soldiers and Officers ;
meanwhile the arts, dui sciences, and commerce languish.

FRENCH PAPERS

To the Qsth inst. arrived yesterday afternoon. The follow-
ing is the substance of their contents :—The Duke of %Wel-
lington left Paris on Tuesday morning. Lord Castlereagh
was still at Vienna on the 15th, and it was not generally known
in that city either that his Lordship was about to take his
departure, or that the Duke of Wellington was to replace
him.

Of the Congress of Vienna we have as little information as
we have had from the beginning. Every arrival bids us ex-
pect that the next will bring os decisive news. The neat re..
fen us to a future one. It is, as was said of the conversation
of a particular person, "a constant renovation of hope, with
a perpetual recurrence of disappointment."
One of the papers. alluding to a stormy conference on the
20th December, says, that since that period gloom and ill
humour have prevailed, and that once or twice the Ministers
have been on the point of quitting Vienna. But this was a
ruse to obtain some fr esh concession, and still we are told.
" they are loth to depart " Lord Castlereagh is represented
as having presented a very energetic note to Prussia against
the union of Saxony. Prussia, instead of replying to I,,orti
Castlereagh, addressed an equally strong note to Prince
Metternich, considering, as the Paris Paper adds, Austria to
be really the author or instigator of the note, though it ptur-
ported to come from Lord Castlereagh.
It is said, that the Sovereign of Elba is so peacefully dis-
posed, that he is selling part of the 260 pieces of cannon,
which he found in the island.

The settlement of Switzerland is said to he completed.
Fier independence is confirmed, and she is to consist of 29 "
Cantons. Berne is to have Pienne and the Bishopric of Basle
as an indemnity for the Pays de Vaud.
General Bertrand, Buonaparte's Minister, who had come
from Elba ineoz. was on the point of being arrested. •

Fiance. Even the Prussian cannon, which were,on the
Punt Royal, and the Pont Notre Dame, which were re-
moved to be used at the review, have been replaced in
their former ,ituation. The King of Prussia continues at
Paris, and no day is now mentioned for his departure.
The new Ministry have given a striking proof of their re-
gard for the liberty of the press, by suppressing the Jour-
nal des Arts, merely because it opposed their views. The
Paris Journals still continue silent regarding the removal
of the works of art, with the exception of the Lion of St.
Murk, which is to be restored to Venice, and which is
said to have been broken in the removal. No mention
whatever has for some days been made of Ney. Consi-
derable speculation appears to be excited by the arrival of
130 pieces of cannon belonging to the Allies in the envi-
rons of Lisle.

llamburgh and Dutch mails have also arrived : the
papers which they have brought mention the formal an-
nexation of the privince of East Friesland to the Kingdom
of Han"ver. The Meuse, it is said, is to form the boun-
dary between the kingdom of the Netherlands and the do-
minions of Prussia. The report is still kept up, of the ces-
sion of Alsace and Lorraine by France; which provinces,
it is added, are to be formed into a kingdom for the Arch-
duke Charles. The Empercr of Russia has left Brussels
for Dijon.

R EVOLUTION IN SPAIN-GENERAL PORLIER.

The Frederick packet, Captain Sleeman, arrived at
Falmouth, from Corunna; left that place on Sunday last
and brings accounts that General Porlier, having kept
possession of Corunna, Ferrol, and Batanzos, four days,
and organised Provisional Governments for the province
of Galicia, marched with the principal part of his troop
against Santiago, where the priests and friars had succeeded
in forming. a strong party, leaving about 300 men to guard
Corunna in his absence. No accounts had been received
from him after he left Corunna ; but on the morning of
the 9.3 d ult. a report was circulated, that Porlier's troops
had deserted him at the moment he was lead'ng them into
action, and that the few soldiers who remained faithful to.
him had been dispersed: This report was no sooner known,
than the city was the scene of the, greatest confusion ;1
every where the inhabitants were flying, shutting up their
shops and houses, and the 300 men left by Porlier took
fright, ran off, and left the place to the mercy of the priests I

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S LETTER.

PARIS) OCT. 2. The Treaty is not yet sigited, but it is
probable that a few days only will elapse before it is
signed. It will be communicated to the two chambers as
soon as it is ratified.
The letter from the Duke of Wellington to Lord
Castlereagh has been seen as yet only by a few. "It
was the pictures, &c. taken from Prussia, that his
Grace last year interceded with the King to restore to his
Prussian Majesty, which Louis XVIII. promised. Its
speaking of the pictures and statues removed lately, his
Grace states that whatever reason there might be last year
for leaving them, those reasons could now he nrged no
longer—For it was hoped last year that the alegiance
sworn to the King would be kept, and that oaths would
not be violated. What right have the French to he in-
dulged, at the price of leaving in their hands what they
had so unjustly taken from other nations. Besides, it was
necessary to give them a great moral lesson.
" The (-seats of the..war, just finished, proved that how-
ever the French might be able to gain partial successes
over some Power:) they were .no match for all Power;
combined.
Such are some more of the points of this celebrated
letter, which is written with groat force of reasoning and
fact, and which completely jiistifie. the Duke of Welling-
ton's conduct, if any justification be neepsary.
I have great satisfaction in assuring you that Lord
Castlereagh is nearly recovered, though he cannot yet bear
any thing tight acrosq the knee.
Nine Ciousand of the National .Guards of Paris are or-
dered to assemble on the day of the opening of the Cham-
bers, in order to add to the dignity of the ceremony, by
lining the streets through which the King is to pass.

Swiss Gazettes and The Allgemeine Zeitung, to the
27th ult. have reached 'town. The latter speaks of the
cordial union between the Courts of Vienna and Berlins
with a view to the interests of Germany in the negociations
with France. Th© following are extracts :

DRVRY LANE.

At this Theatre, Tuesday night, a young lady, whose
name is understood to be Miss Johnson, seemingly not
more than fifteen years of age, made her first essay on any
stage, in the character of ilmaldhis, in the Comedy of the
Child of .inure.---'There has been seldom seen a first
appearence where the performer spewed less embarrass-
ment or more self-possession, combined with a degree of
innocence and unaffected simplicty, that almost instantly
penetrated the feelings of the audience, and interested
theni in her favour and success. Her figure is delicate,
her countenance is expressive, and her voice, which is clear
and articulate, was distinctly heard in every part of the
Theatre. She was greeted at her entre with the usual
kindness shewn to a candidate, and many points of her
performance were noticed with the most unequivocal and .
flattering approbation.

Tim famous Mary Anne Clarke being discovered near
Margate by a creditor, her daughter, whose name is also
Mary Anne, was arrested a few days ago instead of her
mother, who has escaped to France. A solicitor has con-
sequently been employed to bring an action, on behalf of
the daughter, against the officer for false imprisonment.
The lady who recently died at Rouen was a Nies. Nor-
man, sometimes called Mrs. Cressu ell, and m ho succeeded
Mrs. Clarke in the regards of a certain Personage, with an
annuity of 4001.
BoxiNc.—A severe pitched battle was fought at lien-
dcm, on Monday, between Rob. Taylor, a master wheel-
wright, seconded by Partridge and Lemon, and Job Red-
diford, seconded by Peel and White. This battle mas
occasioned by a quarrel between the parties, and it was
most obstinately contested. The men were destitute of
science/ but they turned to and hit away in the first round
until it was made a draw off by mutual consent.—
This round lasted ten minutes, when much execution was
done, but seither went down, and the combatants were so
much exhausted, that the seconds interfered, and it was
agreed upon there should be a cessation of fighting until •
they got fresh wind.—The second round was as obstinately
contested as the first, and this severe fighting lasted an
hour, during which more native bravery was never wit-
nessed. Taylor at length gave in by the advice of hi*
seconds.
