MAMA

DRURY .LANE.

On Monany Wight Mr. LZE LEWES, son to the lite emi-
nent performer of that name, attempted the arduous cha-
racter of Sir Pcrlinaz Maesyrophant, the Man of the
World. Such an undertaking display ea more courage than'
judgment ; for every man ought to make a deep Andy of
his own powers, before he ventures ou a course where mo-
derate success cannot answer his ends, and where failure
may undo him. Self-love is not certainly such a blinding
principle as to. disqualify us from judging, where oar be:t
interes's are concerned. We sioctiely wish these reflections
had arisen in Mr. LEe Lewes's mind, before he selected
the Man of the IVorld first appearance. He appears
to us not devoid of abilities, but they Tun evidently into a
different channel. For the representatiOn of Sir Perienaz
he possesses no qualification whatever. Neither his counte- •
nance, nor his voice, are in his favour. The former le-
fleets no expression of the meatOordiii, eorrul t heart ;
and the shrill we.mkness of the latter disarms it of all its ef-
fect. His accent approaches nearer to the brogue of an
Irish market-girl, attempting to mimic the Scotch, than to
broad intonations of the Scottish dialect. Elis An:ln-
ner was neither easy nor graceful ; and altboodi many al-
lowances may be made for the difficulties tif a first appear-
ance, yet we do not entertain any hopes that in such path
he can ever expect to obtain a more favourable reception
than that with whia be met on 'Monday niAt. Although,
to his feeling, it might appear rude and unmerited, yet
truth requires us to state, that it was merciful.

COVENT GARDEN.
,An after-piece called Fair Game, was prodweed, and con.
demned at this Theatre, on TneKlay evening. Its demerits
were so great, and its execution so rapid, that to attempt
to &so ihe it, would he as vain as to endeavour to arrest
the lightning in its flight. The thunders of disapprobation
were loud and incesatit, and the dramatic hopes of a Re ve-
lend Baronet, who sometimes honours Carlton noose with
his presence, were thus crushed and extinguished fur ever.

EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE.

Dispatches from Lord CATHCART, accompanied by
oflit ial reports from the armies to the 29th November. have
put us in.possession of the Russian account of the operations
'detailed in the ,!9th French Bulletin. As we anticipated,
the rear-guard (4 Vg:rort's corps, which surrendered with
its commander PARTONNEAUx, wns far more numerous
than it was represented.. instead of 2,006 it consisted of
near 8,000 men. It will be seen that our computation of
the force of the French army, after it had effected the
passage of the Becesina, coincides very nearly with that given
•by the Russians. Wr mentioned that it might amount, with
the corps of Vic-roR and Ounngoz to 69,000 men, and
TcHicit ',Govt. states it in his icport at 70,000. Mac-
DO'S ALD's corps has retired from the vicinity of Riga and
taken a Wong position at Eckau, probably preparatory to its
falling back uponVV ilna.R EGNlraand Sc w AItTZENBURGII,
seem also to have shaped their course towards that city, to
which AUGEREAU was watching from Niemen. We re-
joice, however, to see that the Russians intend to prosecute
the campaign with unabated vigour, so as to allow no rest
to the enemy, who acknowledged in their 29th bulletin that
it was absolutely wanted to i estore the discipline and
efficiency of their army. Continued hostilities will render
the re-union of the French divided corps impossible, and
compel them to pursue their calamitous flight to the banks
of the Vistula.

POLICE.

Gurttnsta...-Yesterday, Mary Knowling, a young women of s
'widowed and disconsolate aspect, applied to Alderman Smith for
summons, to compel the Overseers of the Parish where she resided, •••
afford her parochial assistance. She told her story with great carne
*less and modesty.--fier parents resided near Waterford, and were i
affluent circumstances. Some years ago, a young maii, by tract: a
plaisterer, married her and loyought her to London, .vhere he followe.
his vocation, and was remarkably sober and industrious. Ore
mnrning, several months since, he went from his habitation
to work. and lie never returned. All her inquiries after him were
fruitless. Thus was she cast upon the world pennyless, and remote
from those who would be glad to befriend her, she could produce
certificates of the propriety of her conduct before marriage, and she
could prove by a respectable neighbourhood, that she had been sober,
industrious and offpod report since her unhappy journey to London.
Since the loss of her husband, she had endeayoarred to subsist upon
the fruits of her needle, but found it impossible from the difficulty of
finding employment, and the dearth of the necessaries of existence.
The good Alderman was moved by this piteous tale directed to him
by one very uncomfortably attired, and hunger pinched, he accord-
irgly ordered the summons to be made out.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 3, 1813.

The statement that those who had resorted to the barba-
tons tactics of their savage ancestors were ill acquainted with
the heart of the Trench Ruler, and the assertion that he
would voluntarily have renounced trophies to be purchased by
so much blood, and so many woes to humanity, are very fine.
But for the use made of the conditional tense and suhjiinc.
tire mood here, in the declaration, that under the circums
stances described, NAPOLEON would voluntarily have res
nounced the trophies of victory, which must be regarded
as an admission, that he did not voluntarily renounce
them, we might have been led to suppose, that be had
stopped in his career of conquest, merely in kindness to the
Ressians, as his tender heart could not bear the thought of ad-
, vancing further into their country, lest St. Petersburgh should
share the fate of Moscow. This certainly accords very
well with the information we already possess of the be-
nevolence of his disposition, and furnishe; an admirable
supplement to the catalogue of horrors with which his mercy
has enriched history, and a suitable comment on that huma-
nity which, within these few reeks, was so amiably displayed
in butchering the unarmed defenceless inhabitants of Mos-,
cow, whose alleged offence was—that they bad obeyed the
orders of their Governor.
The corresponding part of BCONAPARTE'S answer, is
equally worthy of attention:—
" Tlie war which I maintain with Russia is a war of pos
" licy. I have waged it without animosity; I could have
wished to spare her the.misfortunes whicfi she has caused
" herself. I should have been able to arm the greater part
" of her population against her, by proclaiming liberty to
" the slaves; a great number of villages demanded it of me;
" but when I perceived the brutality of that numerous class
of the Russian people, I refused to accede to a measure
" which would have devoted many families to death, and
" the most horrible punishments. My army has sustained
" losses, but they arose from the premat4te. severity of the.

66 season."
That it is a war of policy, we should have thought it was
hardly necessary for him to tell his people, any more than:
it was necessary to inform them that it had been most politi-,
cally conducted. The declaration, that he had " waged
it without animosity," was certainly a piece of intelligence'
eqvally interesting and novel: if this humane chieftain.,
does not consider ravaging a country with fire and sword"
and murdering its population in cold blood, as partaking oft
the nature of avimouty, it would be worth something to
know the precise meaning attached by this 66 father of
soldiers" to that word. What follows, perhaps, may fur-
nish a clue to discover its import, in the vocabulary of NA...
POI EON. lie had it in his power to arm the greater I,a t f

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

HORRID MURDERS NEAR FROME.—OD Monday evening Mr. Webb,
a respectable farmer, at Roddenbury .hill, near Frome., was intudered
whilst sitting in his chair. The dreadful deed was discovered in the
following manner :—On Tuesday morning a young woman called on
her sister, who lived in the farmer's s:r vice ; her repeated knocks a;
the door being unnoticed, she opened it, and found Mr. Webb on the
floor by the side of his chair, weltering in his blood—having been
shot through the arm, and his head dreadfully shattered. On her
alarming the neighbourhood, a further search was made : when the
body of the female servant was discovered in a bucket well, with her
throat cut ! It is supposed that she was endeavouring to esc ipe from
the scene of horror, when the villains overtook her and deprived Her of
her existence. The Jury sat upon the bodies. Verdict—Wilful mur-
der against some person or persons unknown. The House is quite
detached from any other, and the farmer and the servant were the only
inhabitants. His dog having been heard barking loudly about six
o'clock on Monday evening, leads to the conclusion that the tragical
event was then being perpetrated. if booty was the object of the
assassins, they were disappointed, as Mr. Webb, though in opulence,
was generally known to keep very little cash in the horse ; the
drawers, boxes, &c. had been, however, completely ransacked.
Mr. Benjamin Robins, of Kinfare, was shot, and afterward, robbed
by a footpad, Friday se'nnight, when on his return from Stourbridge
Market (Worcestershire). The villain trembled to such a degree,
that had not Mr. It. been severely wounded, he might easily have
secured him. We arc sorry to state Mr. Robins died on the Monday
following. The perpetrator of the horrid ast remains undiscovered.
Muarn4.—Thd following are the particulars of the late murder
perpetrated at North Shields :—The wife of John Thoburne, in the
employ of Mr. Crawford, miller, having died on the Friday, she was

DRU RY LAN E TII EATRE.

A new pantomine was on the same evening produced at
this house, entitled, " Harlequin and Hump°, or Columbine
by Candlelight." It was thought, that in performances of
this description Drury Lane would have an advantage over
the sister theatre, as it has in its services the Genius of Pan-
tomime—Mr. T. DrBDIN. The contrary however was the
fact. It is shewv and magnificent, but so lamentably defi-
cient in humour and so tedious in its progre,s, that the au-
dience were generally dissatisfied, and the piece experienced
much opposition.

The farce performed in France, on the 20th ult. the par-
ticulars of which have reached this country in the course of '
the week, cannot fail to afford a high treat to the lovers of
the ridiculous-. The pomp with which those miserable poli-
tical puppets, the Senate and the Council of State, have
been danced before their master to congratulate NAPOLEON
the Great on his escape, is really in itself too absurd not to
be diverting. The joy the Parisians must feel at seeing
their tyrant again, and the sincerity of their congratulations
on His MAJEs`r Z's "happy arrival," may be easil)sconceived.
It must certainly be equally grateful to their vanity and their
feelings. To behold their mighty Emperor return in disguise,
like a murderer of less note, only anxious to elude the (deers
of Justice, must furnish much to gratify the one, and to know
that the mighty army which he lately led to the North, to
" fulfil the destinies of Russia," has been destroyed, without
;effecting any one object for which the war was commenced,
must administer indescribable comfort to the other. The t
Addresses, therefore, of the Senate, and Council of State to
DIJON P A wrt, on his arrival, it cannot be doubted, are as
iffectidnate as they arc rational.
Ludier,:us however as all this is to us, it is not entirely
devoid of interest. The silly parade about their affection
to the Kingiiof ROME is worth something, as it -should seem
the Tyrant.keels that some new demonstration of attachment
to his dynasty should be made, to induce a belief on the part
of other nations, that his late discomfiture has not destroyed
his authority. Ilis resorting to such an expedient, at this
time, to give his power the appearance of stability, may rea-
sonably be attributed to a conscious apprehension, that the
recent events in the North are calculated to give it a fatal
blow. In no other way can we account for his putting such
language into the mouth of his creatures on the present occa-
sicn. Immediately after this edifying expression of attach,
anent to the King of Rotas, the Russian•campaign is no-
ticed in these words:—
Sire., your Majesty has waved the Trench eagles over
" the towers of Moscow. The enemy could neither arrest
" your success nor thwart your plans, but by resorting to
" tip! frightful resources of despotic governments—creating
" deserts on all his frontiers, carrying conflagration Into his
" provinces, and delivering to the flames his capital—the
" centre of his riches;and the growth of so many ages.
" Those, Sire, who renewed thCse barbarous tactics of
" their savage ancestors, were ill acquainted with the heart
" of your Majesty. It would have voluntarily renounced
" the trophies which were to be purchased by so much blood
" and so many woes to humanity."

RENEWED DISTURBANCES.

NOVI' DF.c. 30.--A recerrence of tumuiti and disnrdcr 1.11
taken place itt this town and vicinity, and to au extent that glees*
frightful picture of the same kind of unhappy events which disturb:4
the peace and happiness of individuals this time last year. Nu lets
than eight violent outrages have been committed at bec,,toti, New Rad.
fold, Wateak, Arnold, and Mansfield, and in some villages on -the
south aide of the Trent. The object of [Less attacks have been the do•
struction of frames ; at each place the outrages have been put into exe-
cution by numbers of disguised men, armed with pistols and swords,
using personal violence on the individuals of their revenge, threstenin
their lives it they opened the it lips ; and, after placing guards over
these unfortunate people, destroyed their frames, and then escaped un-
discovered.
In the town of Mansfield, a poor woman, in denying a frame de.
rounded by this lawless banditti, was stabbed in several places, atter•
wards knocked down, and left for dead. Several of the depredsors
who committed the outrage at Waned( have been taken and comari,ted
to the gaol in this town. A Isrge meeting of the Magistrates of the
county hes taken place, and the stronge,t measures resorted to to pro.
%irk. ageing these disorders. The Watch and Ward Bill is t be pnt

bitants, and every other precantior, as patroles, Inc.

scat of perished empires, z'nd perhaps think it much to heave
a sigh at the vanity of human grandeur. We stand in the
vicinity of the storm, and though hitherto respected by is
fury, may see our security destroyed by the unexpected di•
pect;on it may take. We hear the thunder that shakes
the fields of the Continent, as it bursts. We supply the
chain! ions of ft eedorn with 6-esh bolts of vengeance, forged
with our wealth and our Wood, and on the issue of the con•
test our very national existence may depend. 'l', usting to
the protection of that hand, which has so long averted the
raging tempest, and guarded our liberties and our power,
let us view the mining crisis, not with se:f important pride„
but with bond le hope and confidence. And until the hour
of certainty has struck, let us avail out selves (1 the momen-
tary calm, to weigh the human probandhies which promise
success to our cause. Let us, therefore, consider the
rt spective force and nature of the armies entrusted
with the fate of the world, at the moment when their close
approach renders it impossible that the deciding blow should
he any longer suspepo:led.

When at the renewal of hostilities, in May last, NA PO LF 044
succeeded in repelling the Allies at Lutzen, 11.)titzen, and
Wurtcheo, with the troops which he had hastily collected
after his return from Moscow, all the disasters of his retreat
were forgot!en. The loss of his veterans seemed supplied by
the courage of their successors ; he regained all his confi-
dence, and the war which be had rzTotnmenced under the
plea of securing the integrity of his tertitories, immediately
changed its nature, and once more became a war of aggression.
By di icing the Ilu-sian and ussian armies out of Saxon.,
of Ilainhurgh, and of Lubeck, he had reinstated his allics
and himself into all their possessions, and therefore, had
pretence for prolonging the contest been sincere, as his
avowed object was accomplished, he would have 'seriously
laboured to restore tranquillity to the Continent. Tl)is he
no longer thought it his inlet est to effect. Ile had expii:s,ed
his pacific dispositions, however, too openly, when lie
dreaded the renewal of hostilities, to be able to prosecute
the war at the hour of his successes, without at !east tria%-
ing sonic attempt at realizing his promise, if he wish«i to
secure the co-operation of his Allies, and the g,(?od-will of
hi; suhiects. hence came the Armistice, a•A the .Congress
at Prague. which, had he ohhined them byfine his triumphs
at I,ntzen and W urtclien, might have indeed led to peace,
but which he now turned into mere engines to reconcile his
people and toreign supporters to the prolongation of tire
%var. From the publication of the. Documents relative to
the riejciciatiow, as welt as the Declaration of Atim la, it ap-
pears certain that be -

Another letter from Sir James, dated off Lake Ontario, Aug. 10,
states that he discoveted the enemy's squadron on the bth, consisting
of 13 sail ; the British only six. On his approaching, they fired
t!:eir broadsides, and then stood for their hattcries. Owing to calm
eather, it was eleven at night when our squadron got within gun-

at Wartenberg, which he drove from its posni• n, low a,
sanguinary ac lion in which the Prussians themselves suffered
considetaLly, but took 1000 prisoners, 16 pieces of cannon,
and 70 tutsdrils. On the 4th the CROWN PRINC E followed
his example, and passed his whole army ever the Elbe at
Acken and Rosslan, and finding that NEY bad retired from
Dessau with 18,000 men towards Leipsig, immediately esta-
blished his head-qualiets at the former town. On the 4th
General BLUCII ER bad sent his cavalry as far as 'Men,
about nine miles from Leipsig, and as the Swedish ad-
vanced posts were at Raguhn and -Tesnitz, the junction of
the two armies was expected to take place on the sth, and
on the 7th it was thought they would Legit) their mat ch on
Leipsig. United, they formed a total of one hundred
and thirty thousand met', extending from the Elbe
along the right hank of the Sante,' and threaten-
ing to pass into the rear of the enemy, and j'in the

age and activity, by defeating 8,000 cavalry under General
LEY E lIV R at A henburgh, and taking 1,600 pt isomers, 5 guns
and 40 officers. Thus is the enemy pressed on both his flanks,by
an army of 130.000 men on his left, and nee of 190,000 on his
right. These armies are to close in his rear, and to be able
to effect this operation, they must descend on elates side as low
as Weimar and Jena, as the main force of the French seems
now to be assembled at Leipsig, whither N A soLeot4 repaired
with his guards, and the K 'P.c.; of SA XONY, on the 7th inst.
According to the position of the Allies at that time,- and in
consideration of the interruptions whit h they might expect
from the eeemv, it wi,ts seas cely possible that they should
reach the intended ground, so as to endeavour to eflect their
junction before the I:ith or I4th in,t. when they would find
themselves in the vicinity of Jena. We theiefore think,
that if NAPOLEON pclsi t in committing the fate of the war
to the sword, instead of falling back to the Rhine, the tre-
mendous battle which will probably terminate the contest,
will have been fought about the pet iod and the spot we have
indicated.
We regret to find in our dispatches no confirma.inn of,
I/ nor even any allusion to, the vnion of Bavaria with the Ail:es,
lately reported in the CROWN Patric Bulletins as being in
11 contemplation.

FRENCH PAPERS.

Paris Papers to the 17th inst. arrived on Wednesday.—
They contain nn bulletin from Buonaparte, but flom a
demi-official article we leant, that the enemy had not eva-
cuneed Dresden so late as the Bth. It is however admitted,
that he left that city on the 7 ih, and proceeded, not as hereto•
fore, to the light bank of the Elbe, bet to the side of
Liep'ic. That city is described as having suddenly become
the centre of very important mili!ary movements; that the
number of troops there is so considegable. th.:t part of them
are obliged to be lodged in churches ; anti that the neigh-
bout hood is filed wish cavalry. The principal theatre of
war may the!efore be considered ac transferred to that
quarter. Between Senna and Magdeburg, it is asserted,that
full 150,000 French arc collected; Outliner, with ten
thousand men, alone remains to cover esden, on the right
iof the Elbe. The Russian General Czeinicheir, with SOO 0
car•aley, has, by the enemy's own admission, • penetrated to
I Cassel, the capital of the kingdom of Westphalia, whete the
