ROYAL bIARRI %GU.

Political marriages are in general sufficiently nauseous.
The King of Spain has married his niece (at least by
proxy), and the Emperor of Germany woos the Princess
Charlotte of Bavaria ; a lady already betrothed to his
nephew, the son of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Be-
fore this marriage therefore can take place, the nephew
must renounce his intended bride. The Princess of
Bavaria, born in 1792, is the divorced wife of the Prince
Royal of Wurtemberg, and is highly praised for her %dr-
tues, and for the fortitude with which she bore her
former marriage. The Heir-apparent to the House of
Austria is already destined to many the Princess Char-
lotte's sister : so that the Emperor will be father and
brother to his own son, and the Empress will be mother-
in-law to her own sister, and aunt to her former lover !

By accounts received on Wednesday, the affairs of the
Patriots were represented as in a promising condition.—
Private letters, lowever, from New York, give later ac-
counts. A letter of the 14th of July, from La Guira,
ten leagues only from the city of Caraccas, represents all
Bolivar's schemes as having been wholly frustrated. It
states that he was again, on the 10th July, in attempting
to penetrate into the interior, completely routed by the
royalists troops—that on the 11th the insurgents fortified
themselves under the shelter of their :Vessels, but were
pressed so lard, that of 500 who debarked, only 200 es-
caped—that several of the prisoners were sent to the Ca-
raccas—that onthe 12th there was great slaughter among
the insurgents, and that Morales had.put.to,tbe sword all
who could not embark.

A Spanish brig, arrived at Porto Rico, from the coast
of Africa, brings information that several British ships
of war had appeared on -the coast, and had captured
25 sail of Spanish vessels, belonging principally to the
Havannali. They arc said to have been captured at
the very moment they were taking in their cargoes of
slaves.

COVENT-G IRDEN.

.On Tuesday evening last, Mr. Kean performed the
character of Richard. The house was crowded to its
highest benches at the commencement. It is impossible
to desciibc the peculiar nature of Keart's acting, or the
effects it produces. 'lite fervor, the subtlety, thc sar-
caste, the flattery of the hypocrite arc all demonstrated
with such truth, 'tt, familiarized as we are to theatric
delusion, we become spell-bound, and believe it to be
rest.

On Thursday he remained the character of Ber-
tram. We know not whether Mr. Maturin wrote this
part purßosely for Mr. Kean ; but, withnu doubt,
nothing ch. be imagined more congenial with his
riwers;—nothing can be found mom in unison with
the peculiar tact of his mind, so often manifested in
characters, enveloped in the gloom of passion, than the
furious, heart-broken, th,. despairing Bertram!—'Phis
is the peculiar/ forte of Kean. Mace hint amitht,
a chaos of gloomy and dismal affections, of horrid reso-
lutions :".,r the past, of dreadfill machinations for the
present, of hopeless views of the future,—he will
tlwre

" Ride on the whirlwiml and (rot ct the storm."

Ther..! may, perhaps, be occasionally too much of the
whirlwind in the teinFsts of his passion, to accord strictly
with nature ; but it is impossible not to be spell-bound
by his intense feeling and overwhelming energy.
Miss Somerville re-appeared in I mogenr. Ski has
improved the management of her voice ; her figure and
features have acquired an encreased portion of beauty ;
and her voice a melting sweetness,4liat accords with all
the finer feelings of the heart. She will arrive at the
highest honours of her profession.

On Monday evening the Tragedy of the Distressed
Mother was performed at this Theatre, in which Mr.
Macready, son of the late Manager of the Birmingham
Theatre, pe:•thrmed th.: part of Orestes. This actor has
a good person, an agreeable, but strongly marked counte-
nance, and a well modulated voice. With assiduity, and
with acquirement of more variety in his manner, he will
become a valuable accession to the Theatre. He was
r.:ceived with much applause ; and in the last scene,
where his r::morse stings him to the soul, the audience
testified their sense of his merits with three distinct
rlunds of applause.—After the play succeeded a musical
Entertainment, called Yours or Mine? said to be the
roduction of the late Mr. Tobin.—Credeat Apollo.—The
followiag are the nr.mes and representatives of the cha-
racters :

Justice Fidget Mr. BLANCHARD.

Captain Harcourt Mr. SINCLAIR.
Careless Mr. DURUSET.
O'Blarney Mr. TOKTLY.
fluraphry Mr. EXERY.
Sophia Miss STEPIIENN.
Susan Flouncit. Mr, GIBBS.
The ground work and materials of this piece arc plain
and simple, with little incident and still less interest.

The liiece opens with the arrival of Captain Harcourt at his native
village, after an absence of many years, and a report of his death, lie
Finds his father is no more, his hereditary estate in the possession of
Sparrowhawke, and his beloved Sophia about to be torn from him.
'I he avarice ofJustice Fidget had induced him to consent to. and has-
.lll the marriage of his daughter with Sparrowhawke, which event is
about to take place. when Captain Harcourt obtains an interview with
stophia, and prevails upon her to elope with him. Sparrowhawke ac-
cidentally discovering the arrival of the Captain, and knowing thi con-
sequence to him would be the loss of the Harcourt estate, and. it not
ha.stily prevented, that of Sophia's fortune also, resolves to keep liar-
eourt out of the way, for which purpose he employs his clerk, ti'lllar-
ney. This blundering agent. instead of the Captain. apprehends Care-
less. his friend, and nephew to Justice Fidget, Who. upon being brought
before his uncle, acquaints him with the marriage of his daughter;
and, pm.ing to him that her husband is the lawrill heir to the liar-
court ca:tte, .futitice Fidget cheerfully joins the levers' hands, to she
total ilimacaufitarc of Sparrowhawke and his schemes.

The music is exquisitely delicate and exprce'ivc ;
but, up,mi the whole, fir better calculated for a concert
rom, than fur the less cultivated ear of a mixed audi-
ence. On announcing the piece for a future represen-
iati in, a general apathy ciftned to prevail ; and it was
difficult, for some time, to determine, whether applause
.u• disapprobation was predominant ;—the ayes, however,
at length carried the day. •
The fnllowing is a favourable specimen of the poetry.--

Who, from thy 'solitary bower,
Dourest thy plaintive trill,
When all the woods are still;
Oh! let ray virgin sorrows float
Responsive to thy widowed note;

The burthz of thy melody!
Breathing so musically forth thy woes,
Night borrows silence time eneh dying close!
On Friday the Tempest was produced at this Theatre,
but with little variation from the last season. The re-

LUDICROUS.

The Archbishop of Naples has issued a mandate to his
clergy, containing a list of sins for which,they are not to
grant absolution, and which arc specially' reserved for his
own recognizance. Among these sins one is with regard
to females, the exposure of their bosoms or their arms
above the elbow, and with regard to males, the wearing,
making, or vending, of tight breeches. These sinners
are not to be absolved, under two months penance.
Etiquette at Madrid is undergoing a reform, which we
should not he surprised to see tbllowed by some other
Courts, who may justly pretend to quite as much taste
for.-elegance and comfort as that of Spain. It appears,
that at the solicitation of tha principal ladies of Madrid,
the use of hoop petticoats will be suppressed in the new
Ctrurt.

Parochial Petticoat Government.—lt is a singular fact,
that three of the thur present Overseers of the parish of
St. Michael's Cambridge, arcfinta/ea ; viz. Mrs. Stevens,
a widow, Mrs. Worby, and Miss Sharpe. Mr. Yorke, the
masculine officer, kindly transacts the Ladies' business.
A hoax was played off at Al ate►ate last week, by a wag,
who employed the crier to announce Madame Saqui's
performances on the tight-rope, for the gratification of
the inhabitants of the Isle of Thanct. Company flocked
from all quarters, and bore their disappointment with
wonderful good humour.
Considerable bustle and stir were excited last week
in the neighbourhood of Blackheath, by upwards of 150
families having received cards of invitation to a splendid
ball and slipper for the 26th, to have been given there
by a gentleman well known in the commercial world,
which afterwards proved to be a hoax. The Royal
Artillery Band at Woolwich was engaged the tht occasion.
Pastry-cooks in that vicinity and town received orders;
as did also tailors to make new liveries; tallow-chandlers,
to furnish wax lights and coloured lamps ; tent-makers,
to erect marquees and booths ; hatters to furnish dress
hats ; glovers, fruiterers, poulterers, with a variety of
other tradesmen.

A fashionable Banda, though otherwise a very fashion-
able specimen of the staple of England, yet when equipped
in his cossack trowsers, and his morning great coat dang-
ling to his heels, presents an appearance not unlike a
sealki,lg bale of broad cloth.
The Belles of the present day, in decorations of their
dresses, seem to consult the taste of the upholstrrers more
than of their milliners. From the quantity of cord,
fringe, bobbin, which they display in all directions, on
their robes and petticoats, they exhibit all the variety of
a fringe-maker's pattern-book.

Massinger, in the New ;Ply to Pay Old Debts, alludes
to the Licensing Justices of that day. When Tapwell
applies to Justice Greedy for a license he says,

The Queen, accompanied by the Princesses, the Dole
of Clarence, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester,
gave a rundfcte at Frogmore, on Tuesday, to which the
neighbouring nobility were invited. The amusements
of the day commenced about twelve o'clock with an exhi-
bibition of cricket playing by some of the boys of
Eton school. After these lads bad amused themselves
and the spectators fir a couple of hours, they were al-
lowed to move off to the tents, where they found plenty
of substantial refreshment. In the mean time her Ma-
jesty's guests began to dance, and =tinned that cheerful
pastime till iimr o'elouk, when they also were regaled
with a sumptuous dinner. In this manner the whole
afternoon passed away, to the gratification of all preseat;
and in the evening her Majesty bud a select party.

CANTALS.—Buth the Grand and the Royal
Canals have stopped payment of the interest of the de-
bentures—the latter some time back, and the tinmer has
a few days ago followed its example—thus have, not
ne.:rely many individuals, but many families and public
charities been thrown into the most distressingembnr-
rassments, and a great whlitional distress has been added
to the long list of calamities which are oppressing Ire-
land.

CAPTAIN WRIGHT.

TO THE EDITOR.

Stn,—lt not being generally known that the gallant
Sir Sidney Smith has caused to be erected a Monument
to the Memory of Captain Wright, at Paris, as an old
brother officer of that unihrtunate gentleman, I request
your insertion of the Epitaph, which I copied on the spot.
Captain Wright's remains were buried in the Ceme-
tery of Pere La Chaise at Paris, and his friend Sir Sid.
ney has this year erected a Monument to his memory,
the upper part of which is of a pyramidal or obelisk
form, on the plane of which are the letters 1). 0. M. and
un,erneath an urn, in basso relievo, with two weeping
figures on each side, with torches reversed, the whole of
the base, and the pedestal of the urn, are divided into
six compartments, into which the inscription is dis-
tributed in Latin, of which the following is a translation :

HERE LIES INHUMED,
JOHN WESLEY WRIGHT, by birth an Englishman, Captain in
the British Navy, distinguished both among his own Coluitrynien and
ForrUners for skill and couragq to whom, of those things which lead
to the summit of glary, nothing was wanting but the opportunity.
His Ancestors, whosc Viztucs he inherited, he honoured by his Deeds.
Quick in apprehending his Orders, active and bold in the execution of
them. In success modest, in adverse eirimmstances firm; in doubtful en-
terpriats wise and prudent. A while successful in his career, at length,
assailed by adverse winds, and on a hostile shore, he was captured; and
being soon aft brought to Paris, was confined in the Prison called the
Temple, hip/nous murders, and Owed under the most.
rigid custody; but in bonds, and iinffering severities still more oppres-
sive, his fortitude of mind, and tidclity to his country, remained un-
shaken. A short time after, he was found in the morning with his
throat cut, and dead in his bed. lie died the 28th of October, 1805,
aged 36. To be lamented by his Country—avenged by his God!

WILLIAM SIDNEY SMITH, in memory of ancient friendship,
erected this Monument in the Year of the Christian .Era, iSiG.

COMMON COUNClL—Thursday, a Court of Common
Council was held at Guildhall, when, on the motion of
Mr. Browne, it was resolved, that a dutiful and loyal
Address should be presented to the Prince Regent, con-
gratulating his Royal Highness on the glorious result of
the recent proceedings of the Fleet under the command
of Lord Exmouth, before the City cf Algiers.—The
thanks of the Court and the Freedom of the City, to-
gether with a Sword of the value of t'oo guineas, were
likewire unanimously voted to be presented to Lord Ex-
mouth, G. C. B. and the Ereedem of the City and a
sword value 100 guineas, to Rear-Admiral Sir David
Milne, Kne—Five thousand pounds were ordered to Le
paid for building the new City Barge.—The Committee
reported on the qualifiattions necessary for Candidces for
the vacant office of Clerk of the Coal Market, which was
read and agreed to, and the next Court was appointed
for filling up the same.
PRICES OF MEAT AND BREAD.—The variation in the
prices in the metropolis for a quartern loaf is unaccount-
able ; some of them demand 130. others Is. and at a
shop in Holborn the price is only 94d; at this shop 160
Sacks of flour arc said to have been baked in one week.
According to the assize tables, fimmerly in use, from the
statement of flour at market, the quartern loaf would
• not have exceeded Is. 04d. whereas the general price among
the Bakers is ls. 11,d. the disproportion between the prices
of flour and bread has caused the Magistrates in several
districts to revert to the old system of regulating the
price by setting an assize. Unless some means are devised
to check the rapacity of millers, bakers, and butchers,
in vain shall Providence grant us abundance. The farmer
may sell his produce at a moderate price: but while the
present system of combination continues, that produce
can never be purchased by the consumer but at an exorbi-
tant rate. In order to reduce the greater price of meat
to that moderate rate at which it is evident it can be
afforded, a Correspondent recommends that the inhabi-
tants of the different parishes should call a meeting, and
agree to purchase of any butcher who would supply them
with good meat at a fair price.
Louis SELKIRK'S COLONT.—Disastrous intelligence
has been received from Lord Selkirk's American colony.
After the dispersion of the settlers last autumn, as has
been betbre stated in this paper, it wetild ::celn that his
new governor, Mr. Semple, whore name is familiar to
our readers from his travels it: Spain, and his discussions
with Lord Cathcart relative to his imprisonment in Prus-
sia, proceeded to re-establish the colony on the Red River
with a number of emigrants who went into the country
from Hadson's Bay, in the last autumn, and remained
there during the winter. Mr. Semple had instructions
to establish the introduction of Lord Selkirk and the
Hudson's Bay Company, and in consequence of some dis-
pute with the Indians us to procuring provisions, bad
with the Cant4ian traders, he directed a party of about
:20 men, who were with him in the spring, to fire into
an Indian MIMIC, carrying provisions for the trailers.—
This was immediately returned,' and melancholy to relate,
Mr. Semple and his whole party became the victims of
the affray. Another expedition fitted out by Lord Sel-
kirk's agents in the remote countries of the N.W. has
been equally unfirtunate, 19 of the party having perished
of hunger. These accounts met Lord Selkirk on Lake
Superior, where he had arrived with a reinforcement of
about SOO men, principally foreigners, enlisted front
Meuron's regiment, who had been discharged in Canada.
His Lualltin's intentions as to further proceedings were
not knowu." •
