Mutssi. Apart. v:?.---The news of the great events at Paris caused
in Shea city a sudden tevdution, which had most fat,l cA:n‘rritie
It broke out on the 20th. The populace procretied to the house of
tdlr ,;Minister of France, M, de Prena, a Piedmontese by birth, who
was drbrged imo the public:s(l,lrue, and tormented in the most. cruel
warmer before he was put to death. They sacked the Senate-hou,e,
instated Ow Senators, and demaadA the heads the .Ilivisters.
Ilay cal:ed out paritcular!y for the Miaister of the Conscription. M.
,vlra bein;7 informed c,f it, made his escape. What rendered
the populace tsarinas against fhe irst Body of the State, a as, that
N. Paradise nod Dando;o, Es Apothecaries, were at the head of a
iiiha!, which, iu au extraordinary Sitting of the 17th, had den,anded
rrince Eugene as The rt gister in which this demand was writ-
ten was torn, and the Municipality, united to the rusigity of the Se-
nate, sent a Deputation to the Allied Sovereigns to reject the Vice-
r:y. From that moment calm appears to he restored. a Provisional
tiovernment has been fannal, and the 'Pectoral Bodies convoked.—
Prinee Eileene is at Mantua, SA ith a tew faithful tollowers.
From Turin we learn, that Prince Borglicse has been ohli.,ed to
Aide himself. The fermentation of the ciipital was at its htight ; he
escaped flom their feu.
The previous intelligence received from France in the
course of the present week differs in nothing materially from
that which we have been in the habit of receiving from that
quarter for some time. Notices of adhesions and rejoicings
Ell every paper. The acclamations of the people, wherever
Louis " the Desiree," as he is now called, appears, are inva-
riably said to he enthusiastic, and we may reasonably hope
they are sincere. Anecdotes of Buonaparte are published
-which realty almost cnnvince us that, for some time previous
to the termination of his power, he was insane. Accustomed
for many years to victory, he seems to have wanted forti-
tude to bear defeat. The reverses he met with appear to have
turned his brain, and, operating on the violence and obsti-
oacy of his character, ut7ed him on from error to error, till
all was Ivo.
It must excite something of snrmise to find that a thing
called a Treaty was actually signed with this man, (as Empe-
Tor) subsequent to his abdication of all claims to the Throne.
This appears to have been done on the 11 th of last month.
It was f.igned by the whole of the Allies, with the exception
of England. Onr Minister, very properly, refused to give
signature. However desirable the regulations which this
.tread/ may cantain, we cannot pies; on what -principle Boo-
raparte was wade a party to it. it makes a provision for the
Archduch.:ss, and for that b•av who has been called the
Ninz of Rome, though, according to rr;,ort, he ought ra-
ther to have been considered the I.lWy Austin of France."
The duchies of Parma, Placentia, and Guastalla, are given
to her Royal Highness the Archduchess, and she is to be
tucceeded in them by the yomig Gentleman we have just
mentioned, who is speken of as her son. He is in future to
be called the Prince of Palma and Placentia. We have
nothing to say against these arrangements;—but what had
Buonaparte to 0., with them ? The time is past for consult-
ing his feelings, or requiring his sanction to any measure
which it shall seem good to the Allies to adopt. He must
have felt this burlesque ne;ociation, was intended but to
mock him.
• An officer (Colonel Hill) passed through this city this
=outing; he left the vicinity of Bayonne on the 23d ult.
This gentleman states, that such an event as the death of Sir
John Hope had not been heard of when he left the British
army ; on the contrary, it was believed, and there was no
doubt of the fact, that Sir John Hope was then living, and in
a fair way of doing well.---Exeter Flying Post, May 5.

COVRATT-G.ARDEN THEATRE.

MAY S.

A Mr. Sherenbeck made his first appearance yesterday
in the ch4racter of Shera, in Cumberland's.comedy of The
Jew. This person is himself one of the chosen people, and,
we believe, has long been known in the theatrical world.
He seems well stricken in years, and i 3 may be to him, a mat-
ter of surpiise that his talents did not procure hint a situation
on the London hoards before, but we arc astonished that
they should ever have brought him there at all.
Of Mr. Sherenbeck's dialect we shall say little.—His He-
brew education may make his judgment in this respect vastly
superior to ours. We wish only to say, that if in Shera it is
intended the dignity of a good heart should affect the au
dience, and command admiration and respect, Mr.
Sherenbeck is not the man who ought to appear
as the representative of the henevokent Jew. His
coarse delineation of the part makes it impossible for an
audience to feel any interest in whaf S hera does. Ills bast
speeches were mouthed in a manner which excited risisility,
and his gestures, if not preposterous, had a miserable same-
ness, which it required more than common fortitude calmly
to endure. As we do not wish to enlarge on the defects of
this exhibition, we shall say little more on the subject. A
wish to promote Mr. Sherenbeck's real interest, induces us
to caution him against suffering himself to be deluded by
the applause he received last night. The foolish rap-
tures of the nobility and gentry from the neighbourhood
of Houndsditch, may keep him up for a Saturday or
or two, but all their sabbath exertions will never make him
succeed with the town. Those who wish to hurt his feelings,
may affect to praise, but we, who wish to spare him as much
as possible, must fairly tell him what will soon be intimated
to hit from another quarter—that he will not 40.
