Poor M'Nevin, with great good nature, said, as Mr. Duffy
Waf his countryman, his gossip, mid iris next door neighbour, for
thirteen years, had a family ofcbildrea, he did not wish to hurt
trim, but to make it up with him and forgive him froM the bot-
tom of his heart,' if his honour the Magistrate would, to whit%
the Magistrate agreed, and Mr.-I)ol'l,4*as dismissed.
William Ambcett ands one his wife, were charged by a Mrs.
Anne Middleton, with a most outrageous assault.
The scene of this transaction or rather traosgression. wits
Grub-street, erst the residence of the Muses, but now, app*
_rently, the abode of the Euries.
Mrs. 'Middleton complained;that the male prisoner had, *1)00
(brie weeks since, Without any Sort
.4 provocation, coine into
her house, knocked her down, tore her cap d neck handker-
chief to • pieces, and broken a htoOd-verse} infer leg; and that
yesterday, in like manner, without any- cateir, he again came
into her house, knocked her down, tore her clip, shaWl, gOwn,
and other habiliments, the shattered remains of which sheer/hi:
kited, gave her a black eye, swore he wonld'rnt•her liver oat,
with a large knife he held in. his hand, and robbed her of her
honour, by tearing off a handful of -her hair, anciw4ite the
husband was thus attacking her ou.the one w, and committing
his rape of the tock, the wife, more partial probably to the
drumstick of the fowl, seized her by the thigh with her teeth,
and bit her in such a way as that she was not,sure that she
should not lose the use of her limb.; the bgibasid* the while
holding her down to the ground by the throat.'
T.wn.other females, and a respectable man who vas passing
at Am be oment, corroborated the story of the violent salmis,
and added, that the male priioner returned to th4.cbargeotnd
pelted the prosecutrix with mud, uatil she wayottita a dirt
pasty from head to foot. '•
'The prisoner, iii his defence, stated, that the prosecutrix is •
his sister, and -was continually in the 'habit-or abusing himself
and wife, in the most gross 'tannage, and Conitantly bringing
snobs round his house ; and that on this occasion' site had struck
his wife, and scratched his face, before he struck her.
Mr. Hedger, the coostable of -the ward, corroborated tiro
evidence against the prisoners. He added, however, that hitsf
Middleton had a very aggravating tongue, and had much pro 7..
yoked by her abuse the prisoner, who she knew .was not right
in his head. Mrs. Middleton denied.this want of rectitude in
;he upper story of her furious relation. and said, she had hot
lived so long in the service of Dr. Moaro, without knowing
w hat insanity was. •
The Magistrate thought the best way to rid the neighbour-
hood of the -pez,t of this 4uarrelsome family, was to give Mrs.
Middleton a full dust of late, by binding her trier to prosecute
the parties, at an expense of about MI. to herself, and holding
the prisoners to bail for trial ; which was accordingly done.

The waiter and the ostler of the inn were examined; the for-
mer to shew.the apparent state of mind io which the unfortunate
Gentleman appeared previous to committing the rash act ; he
stated that he came into the Corec-ronm about one o'clock,
walked about the room much agitated, looked *in the glass, and
then turned towards one of the tables where a Gentleman was
sitting, at whom lie stared fur a considerable time, then return-

unhappy gentleman had shot himself. On searching his pot ket
a pocket hook containing a letter, was found, addressed to a
near relative, several Afflicts, and about five shillings in silver.
He lingered for twelve hours without 'peaking, and then
died.

Mr. James Young, surgeon, stated, that be was called in to

CIVIC THEATRE.

Two meetings have, it seems, taken place in the City,
for the purpose of erecting a Theatre, " Eastward ho !"
A petition to the Crown, it is said, is actually drawing up,
praying for a licence, to which will be attached the miles
of some of the first characters in the capital, who have put
down their signatures* to sums amounting to 00,0001:. to.
be applied towards carrying the undertaking into effect.
The petitioners state, as the grounds of their applica•
tion, that all monoplies are injurious, and prevent that
kind of fair and spirited competition by which the public
are always benefited ; and that since the limitation of two
Theatres to the capital; London has increased nearly three-
' fourths iu extent and population ; so that those who wish
to partake of the rational aniusements of the Drama aro
nearly deprived of that pleasure, from the distaaci of the ,
present established Theatres in the winter season, a griev-
ance which is particularly' felt by those citizens who do. nob
keep carriages.
The Theatre is intended to be built in a most magnifi-
cent sty le. The proposed scite is said to be that part of
the estate of Lord Radnor, on the south-side of Fleet
--
sired, of which Botiverie-street and Water-lane, with the
unoccupied space of ground at the Worn of the former,
is a part. The idea is to purchase the leases of the inter-
mediate houses fronting. fleet-street, and form an elegant
crescent. The Theatre to be placed in the centre of this
crescent, with a grand colonade leading to it on each side
from fleet-street. Thus the whole will be rendered a con•
spicuous o!nament to the capital, as the building will strike
the eye of every persou:Tassing east .ar west slung. Flat% .

—The Queen and Princesses appeared highly gratitled• with'
the beau:V.ll and elegant style in *Wish the whole id
fitted on, particularly the Green-room, which, in point of

was'subject to their inspection. The Managers had the interior,:
of the Theatre elegantly illuminated on the occasion, and the,,

PourrciL BPBNTS OP Till IPBRIi;

In taking a retrospective ♦iew • of the events whieh the
last wetk bas furnished, we observe little of novelty, and
less of interest. Disappointment has trod upon the heels •
of disappointment ; hope and expectation have been

baffled, and there is nothing to relieve the unsatisfied and
irritated feelings of the nation from any quarter. It it
obvious that the campaign must terminate in a.inostdisas
trous manner in Spain ; and although Lord WELLINGTON
has raised the name and character of an English soldier in
the Peninsula, the result of our attempts upon the Conti-
nent have been completely unanceessful, and it is morel
than probable that we must 'ultimately abandon the pos-
session of %Valcheren. In Spain, every exertion that de-
pended upon ourselves have been made. We have gained
honour at the expence of blood and treasure; perhaps the •
exchange has not been altogether unprofitable—if we
I gain experience. Millions have been spent, and thousand*
of lives have been sacrificed, to defend' these who are tin.'
willing or unable to defend themselves. It is become high.
ly necessary to recal our gallant troops, who have so nobly
and so gallantly risked their lives for a people, who hive
not only proved ungrateful, but who have doomed to'lhel.t.

The cloth and velvet mantles and pelisses, trimmed with gold
and silver lace and fur, are fast yielding to those formed of
sarsnets rind shawl must ins. The former ate eithet of plain or
ti;ored twills, variously shaded and the latter are either %if the
teal Lillian shawl fabric, or of imitations equally rich and beauv
tiful in effect; these are lined throughout with sarsnets of well=
contrasted colours. The Spanol mantle,- Cossack pelisse,
and Turkish coat, hare each a lktrge share of fashionable dis 4
laction.

The demi robe-pelisses are constructed so as to wrap from one
side entirely round the figure in front, and meets the other side,
with which it is united, and which flows loose from die shoulder
to the feet. The collar is high and rounded, the back formed in
cross straps, the front laced with cord, or ornamented
take, and the sleeves are full, with deep arched cull's; it is, per.
haps, impossible to invent a style more calculated to display a
line figure to advantage. The jockey hat ; the French poke,
placed towards one side, and edged and trimmed across the
crown, n ith rihband in reversed plaits, or with variegated floss
trimmings, with a full bunch of dasies or other spring flowers,
are very fashionable.
The hair cropt, in full curls, or partially in ringlets, bat ex-
posing the ear nearly as high as the commencement of the temple,
ornamented with bands of wrought gold, silver, pearl, or dia-
►nonds, nr with coronets, diadems, and combs of gems corre-•
sponding with the other ornaments, now universally distinguish
this species of costume. Flowers in the hair are not so much-
worn as is usual at this season.

A few days since, a husband tound his frail rib in a very
suspicious situation with a mole friend; not choosing that
,his wife should entertain such guests at the expeuce of his
.hononr, and shunning the expence of a legal divorce, he
took the fair delinquent to Sutton oil Monday last, and ex-
posed her for sale in the public street, With a halter rouud
her neck. The gay seducer being the highest bidder, led
off his precious bargain in triumph. 'rho parties are all

EXPEDITION TO PORTUGAL.

That prominent feature of vigour and decision, which,
during so many centuries characterised British policy, be-
gins to manifest itself in the measures of Government.—
Another British Army, conducted by the miin who re-esta-
blished the military reputation of his cc:wary at Vimiera,
is preparing to crown the national ,brow with new laurels.
The nomination of Sir A RTUU a Wfr:LLESLEV to the chief
command of a force, whose operations arc so important,
must command one unanimous sentiment of approbation.
The celerity, boldness, and presence of mind he ihsplaved
during the short time be commanded in Portugal, qualify
him, more than any other Officer in our service, to de-
velope, to their full extent, the resources of the Bri-
tish character. This gallant Officer is preparing to
set out for Portugal, where a Ecitish force of 18,001)
men is already collected, which is to be joined imme-
diately by 6,000 cavalry and about 13,000 infantry,
who are under orders for immediate embarkation. The
present situation of the Continent renders this measure
imperiously urgent.—The efforts of the Portuguese nation
and Government ; the renovated enerry of I lie Spaniards:
the vigorous demonstrations of Austria. and the arduous
difficulties of her situation, enforce the expediency of
British co-operation. There is not an individual so indif-
ferent to the general interest, so absorbed in the mere views
of a party, who must not feel more satisfaction in the ho.
pour, than in the infamy of his country. Every principle
of interest, as well as glory, recommend a more vigorous
display of the national resources, than has been given of
late. Even .detrldiou will not dare insinuate a doubt of
the superiority of our soldiers ;—they are every thing-
which the patriot cart wish. The country has been ho-
nour.,l by their exploits in Portms;al and selin ; and
wheuver haa-dshi:is they may lia:Lt sustained, ur hoc,

prisoner Guilty. The Recorder then lectured the poor ghit
upon the criminality of her offence; but in consideration of her
imprisonment since the 7th of September,. he mitigated her
punishment to a fine of, one shillings and ordered her to be dis.»
charged. The father of the girl, who is a poor labouring man
most feelingly expressed his gratitude to the Couri sand conduct-
ed his child from the bar, overwhelmed with tears sad shame
at her unfortunate situation.

The prosecutor then applied to the Court to be allowed big
e pences ; which the Recorder refused, on the ground that he
could well afford to bear his own costs.

The prosecutor replied, he tiliould have chearfully borne
own costs, if the girl bad been sentenced to be whipped! !

Prefect issued a Proclamation, calling upon all the Mayors to
deliver to him, within the space of 24 hours, an account of all

expectation of seeing him.
If is Majesty will make some longer stay (some say a month)
at Fontainbleau, before he resumes his residence in this capital.
tie will probably fix his return to the period when the Legisla-
tive Body assembles. Meanwhile preparations are going for-
ward with the greatest activity, at the Hotel de Ville, for giv-
ieg a magnificent entertainment to his Majesty, on his entry into
this metropolis.

It is reported, that his Majesty will not commence his jour-

for the resumption of offensive operations against both the Eng-
lish and the lusurgents.

MOST ILLUSTRIOUS AND MOST EXCELLENT SENOR,

" Though I have already received several letters from your
Excellency, the important business with which I am occupied
has hitherto prevented me from replying to their contents.
Knowing, however, how muck your Excellency is interested
in the good cause which we defend, and in the success of the
army under my command, I hasten to inform you, that having
being attacked yesterday morning in the heights above Tamames,
by the army formerly under Marshal Ney, but now commanded
by Gen. Marchand, consisting of 10,900 infantry, 1,200 caval.
rv, and 14 pieces of artillery, that brilliant corps was thrice re-
pulsed. after obstinate attacks on the right and on the left of my
position. The enemy has In consequence lost more than 1000
men in killed, wounded, and prisoners; one 12-pounder, with
three caissons of ammunition ; one standard, a number of horses,
a great number of muskets, and also a considerable part of the
the military chests. The enemy were thus compelled to make
a most precipitate and shameful retreat, the ground being co-
vered with the dead bodies, the carriages and arms which they
left behind them. They passed part of the night at Muffle,
four leagues henee, and during the remainder of the night con-
tinued their ',arch to Salamanca, order to recover from their
confusion. 11,.believe they will not be eager to attack me again.
I shall pow take such measures, that the division of General
Pallasteros,lihich ought to join me today, may be relieved,
and lam persuaded that' this operation will he successfully ac.
complished. Our loss was remarkably small, as happens always
to troops which rout their enemy; but small as it is, it touches
my heart very sensibly. I make this communication to your
Excellency, for your satisfaction, as well as for that of your
Government, and all those who take an interest lu the good for-
tune of this army, and in the honourable cause which it defends.

This ♦ictory, if the numbers who fought on both sides,
and the lon sustained by the enemy, be only considered,
is of very trifling importance. But, irwe reflect on its
moral consequence, upon the influence it must have in

.VIENK 1, OCT. 17.—The demolition of works of this city,
by gun-powder, which was fixed for the 15th, between the
hours of two and thre.., was not carried into elfect till the same
hour yesterday, when it was accomplished without any injury
to the city or inhabitant,.
On the 15th, the French. artillery, And that of the Imperial
Guards, played upon the fete. du-pont, at the Spitz, for the pm--
pose of m dishing it ; but so substantially was it built, that
upwards of 1000 cannon and howitzer-shot made no impression
upon it.

The Emperor Napoleon, previous to his departure, made
handsome presents to the Captain of the Castle of Schoenbrunn,
and every other person belonging to this capital who were iu
his service. The Prince of Lichtenstein is expected to return
to-morrow with the Ratification of the Treaty of Peace.

a few days from Moravia. All the troops of the League of the
Rhine have already begun their march for their respective States.
IVe are wsured that. the final departure of the French from
this Capital is fixed for the 1:;th of next month, and that in four
weeks from that date, they will evacuate the whole of the pro-
vinces remaining under •the dominion of the Emperor of Aus-
tria. It is added, that tlicy will occupy the ceded districts with
60,009 men, and that two of the corps, now on their march,
will take routes contiguous to the•northern and southern frontiers
of the Tyrol, to support, if necessary, the Bavaria:: troops who
have already penetrated into that country.
The Prince of Schwartzenherg, our late Ambassador at St.
Petershurgh, it is understood, is to proceed in the same charac-
ter to Paris. It i also said that General Andreossi will remain
here in the character of French Ambassador.

of the 23d of September, ISOB., in which I stated to you that
" it is not improbable, in :eed, that some 'alterations may be
made in the Orders in Council, as they are at• present framed,
alterations calculated not t 3 abate their spirit or impair their
principle, but to adapt them more exactly to the different state
of things which has fortunately grown up in Europe,_and to
combine all practicable relief to neutrals with a mare severe
pressure upan the enemy"—and I at the same time ex plaineil
to you the grounds on which the design of the larger alterations,
which had been in contemplation in September, was for the time
laid aside.—By the Order of Council, which 1 have now the

Note of September 23d, is fully carried into exectetion.-1. have
