HOUSE OF COMMONS.

. MONDAY, APRIL 13.
Mr. CURWE II withdrew a notice he had given for this evening, of a
motion for a Committee, to take into consideration the high price of
grain.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to a question from
Lord Archibald Hamilton, stated, that he shouki, the week after next,
bring iorw;rd the subject of the East lndfa Charter.
The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, Mr.
1 Wileirros moved that 554,4411. be granted for the expences of the
Barrack Department for the current year.
Mr. FR E EMA N 1 LE expressed his objections strongly against varkus
items in the estimates, and made :natty observations on the estimate
of the new barrack projected to he built in what was called the Re-
-1
gent's Park. This barrack, which was only intended for the second
regiment of Life Guards, was to cost 158,N,01.; this was an enormous
sum to call for in the present times for the lodging of a single regiment
of horse. At Liverpool it was also propos. dto build a barrack for ltex)
men, at the expense of 82.0001. A new stable at Brighton was to coat
e‘ei, 0001•9 • and a new barrack at Bristol for 800 men, was estimated at
,
C-69,Ce01. These were Very laro items, and required explanation.
I _,.. Mr. WHARTON explained the necessity there was for the several
buildings objected to by Mr. Freeniantle, mod rsserted that brewer
economy, or, or more diligent superintendence, could not used with
respect to the expence.
Mr. HUSKISSO ' said, that the expense of the barrack for the Life
Guards, would be near 4501. for each horse, which was extravagantly
1 beyond any thing that could really be necessary. At I.iverpool many
warehouses might be now got on easy terms, which would 'mike very
good temporary barracks. Every expense which could be spared ought
; in the present times to be spared, and if the present times to be spared,
and even if the Government were determined that the expences should
1 amount to an hundred tadhoos a year, there were other ways of spend-
ing the money, which would be of more use in the prosecution of the
present war.
The CHANCICI.LOR of the EXCHEQUER defended the propriety of
erecting the b...rraeks in qnestion. i•hose in King-street, occuped by
the Lite Gliarck, enlv accommodated the horses ; aril the men were

POLITICAL DISQUISITION.

No. 211.

DISTURBANCES IN THE COUNTRY.

We have long stood in a particular situation : a sepa-
rate people, visibly shielded against all dangers by the
mercies of Omnipotence. When revolutions deluged the
Continent with innocent blood, our lives were secure, for
our Constitution remained unshaken. We heard the suc-
cessive and awful fall of empires : we lamented, but did
not share their fate. The events that crowded the stage
of the world, seemed to pass before us for our instruction.
From the contemplation of ravaged fields and towns in
Barnes we turned, and beheld our vallies teeming with
abundance, our cities with industry and wealth. Nation
after nation sank enslaved—Freedom dwelt fixed on our
shores. Anarchy threatened to overflow every land ;
but loyal power sat on the waves and checked her
progress. Succeeding years confirmed us in the ex-
alted station which we occupied. Our prosperity en-
creased ; our dominions were enlarged, and Great
Britain became net only the sanctuary of banished
freedom, but the source of independence to others.
Are we now to resign the honours of our glorious destiny ?
Have we stood so long, unshaken by the hostility of a
world in arms, to fall self-overthrown, self-destroyed, a
dreadful instance of national. suicide ? Let those, who
instead of joining in the arduous conflict with the common
enemy, raise their misguided hands against the peace of
their country ; let those, still more criminal, who, for the
purposes of party, encourage sedition, reflect that such
conduct must recall the vital blood of the State from the
limbs which it now so powerfully wields against the toe,
to the heart which their insubordination attempts to stab.
Let them know, that such collected vigour will easily
crush their blind attempts, but that the cause of our Allies
must be sacrificed. Let them see, that they only turn
aside the British sword from the bosom of the enemy, to
plunge it into their own. And if not out of love for their
injured country, and regard for their own interest; yet,
out of cautious fear, let them forbear.
The inflammatory speeches of our pretended patriots,'
assisted by the difficultie:i of the times, have at last pro-
duced the effects which we anticipated. The disturb-
ances which broke out at first in Nottinghamshire, are no
longer confined to that county. They have spread far
and wide ; and if the British Senate continue to resound
With the declamations of men, who politically attribute
every evil we endure, even the sterility of the ground, to
thei supposed misconduct and impolicy of Government,
the mi:guided populace, resting its justification on their
authority, will endeavour to extend the sphere of its ra-
yages, and sink still deeper into guilt. It is not at the
tale we 'are contending for all that is precious to ninn,

fence should be impaired by the want of unanimity at

from whence it arose. When the poor rise to devroy the
rich, they act as wisely for their own purposes as when they
burn mills, and throw cot n into the river, to make bread •
cheap.” • -
The spirit of insubordination winch has now burst
forth in various parts of the country, but which originally
sprun,y„, we are convinced, from the secret delusions prac-
ti,,a on the ignorant and industrious classes by our de-
siring enemies, has displayed itself in a variety' of
sh,rs and acts. It led the manufacturers of Notting-
bam to d stray those improved machines for producing
h se, which, by their operation, produce a temporary
and partial evil, but a national and a permanent good :
in St,a•kport there have been similar demonstrations

: in Yorksh-re against improved methods in the

the people in comparison to what they would experience,
if they were permitted to take the law into their own
bands—They would empty the granaries, break open the

stock to market, and they would sell it at their own
price—And what would follow, and follow soon ?---An

DRURY !ANT:.
A new operatic piece was last night produced at this
Theatre, entitled " The _Assignation ; or, Right at Last."
The plot of this elite? tainment is equally confused and unin-
teresting. The songs afforded little pleasure, and the music
was not much admired. It met with the fate it merited, and
a storm of disapprobation which burst out towards the end of
the second act, and continued till the curtain fell, sealed its
doom.

We are at a loss to guess how it happened that a piece so
poor in merit was selected for the first new performance at
this Theatre. After the treatment the Address Writeis re-
ceived, we are aware it may well be expected that the Com-
mittee would not have as many farces submitted to them as
they had addresses in the first instance; but still in justice to
the needy Authors of the age, whose wants force them to
Tabour where their reason cannot flatter them with hope, we
must think that among the pieces presented to this Theatre,
a better farce might have been discovered than t: at which
was hooted from the stage last night. We cannot conceive
the Committee were led to believe it the best ; we will not
suppose they made choice of it because it was the worst,
and therefore conclude, that in consequence of the reproofs
they have received for their conduct, in the instance above
alluded to, they have resolved to be strictly impartial, and
play the pieces sent to them alphabetivallg. This may ac-
count for the preference given to the _Assignation.
Whatever censure the Committee may deserve in some
respects, for one thing a., least they are entitled to unquali-
fied praise. It seems they do not intend to insult an indig-
Dant audience by announcing for a second representation
a piece which has been unequivocally condemned. We re-
joice at this, and hail their conduct last night as an auspi-
cious omen. At the close of the Entertainment, Mr. RAY-
MOND came forward i n the midst of the tumult, and
silence obtained, spoke .as follows :
46 LAD:ES AND GENTLEMEN.—AS this Piece appears to
meet with your disapprobation, 1 beg most respectfully to
say, it,will not be repeated."
This speech was received as it ought to be, with unbound-
ed applause, and all was " right at last."

COVE\T GARDEN.

On Monday, November 30, the Play was the tragedy
of 'King, Richard the Third, the part of the Duke of Glou-
cester to be performed by Mr. SEYMOUR, a gentleman of
considerable provincial reputation as an• actor, and pretty
generally known as a diligent and often successful illustrator
of the pages of SHAKSPE A R.
With these recommendations Mr. SEY HOUR advanced on
the stage, and after the customary greetings and their becom-
ing acknowledgment, 'commenced his undertaking with a
thorough collection of himself, and a manifest possession of
the sense and spirit of his author. lle had, however, not
proceeded far before he was interrupted. One voice called
out, "Speak lorider"—a requisition that was immediately
complied with, but without effect. hisses, with cries of " Q 11;
og'!" " Chcrlts Kcinble!" eirc. commenced and were kept up
in spite of decorum, and the dispositi,in of a large portion of
the audience. Early in the 2nd act, Mr. FAwcETT advanced,
and stated to the house, that as it was the duty, so was it the
constant practice of the Proprietors of that Theatre to contri-
bute the utmost towards the gra,tication of the Public, by
procuring and presenting to them the best and most various
means of refi•-.d amusement. That in conformity with that
inciple they had listened to the strong recommendations

TO THE EDITOR.

Sift —The following croaking paragraph appeared a few
days back in The Al crning Chronicle :
" he Teilerships of the I.:xcliegner ate well known to have been
paid, hitherto, by a poundage, &c to priportion to the expenditures
of the nation I So long ago as Qu t:EN As:Yr, there were two, worth
artl 30001. a year; and were accordingly held by high persona of
that considerable calibre ! Then, happily, the whole reckoning of
the year (even the years .if the Duke of ,11. nouovon's wars !)
ion paid by six miVions ! N..se, unhappily, vacti.our wars (though
10A, ! like the Doke of Ardsat.nonouc tes) cost above an 1111 -
-11110 mtt.t rows—more pruhally 108 or 110 millions, what must
thew Lilo-ships unmunt to in the wonderful tear? By the 13.11 of
34.13tAt Ke, it is enacted, that they ought nut to exceed, and ac-
cordingly ate not to exceed in future, 40Utii. a year ! So much for the
twit, to come. But in the present time, what would ARISTIDES do in
such a case ?"

NOW, Sir, having stated thus much, I think it would have
hem but fair to have added, that the Tellers of the Exchequer
hive voluntarily given up one third of the emoluments of
their offices during the war. This, Sir, I think, was due
to those individuals who have acted so nobly, and also to
the public; but, perhaps, The Morning Chronic:c was afraid
cat giving pul.licity to an action of this sort, lest their ex-
ample should be too generally followed. The Lo RD CHAN-
;:c.t, Loa and Lord ELL ENBOROUGH, aud other distinguished
characters, it was thought might also give up a portion of
their emoluments, and this done, what would becoom. of
The Morning Chronicle, which exists but ort.the subjects it
hulls for invective.

It is not generallv known that the offices held by the
Marquis of BeCKINGHAM .and Lord- CAMDEN have been
Trgulattd, so that at the death of those Noble Lords the
rieilerships will not be held as they arc at present. Those
who may succeed them are not to enjoy the same advantages.
I)'iittally the Tellerships of the Exchcquci were calculated
to be worth 2or 59001. per annum. In the year 1740, in
consequence of the aiins• extra' rdinaries having amounted
to tl►e then unprecedented sum of 600,0001., the fees of
the Idlers, which consisted in a per centag►e on the sums is-
iu”d from the Exchequer, were educed horn 9s. per cent.

DISPATCHES FROM LORE) WELLINGTON.

The following dispatches from Lord WELL 'NG TON were
published in last night's Gazette. The difficulty of !na-
ming food for his concentrated force is already felt by the
enemy, who has begun to fall back on every side. His
Lordship has removed his head-quarters- to Ftenada, about
40 miles to the north-west of Ciudad Rodrigo, probably for
the sake of better cantonments. Lisbon Papers to the Ist
inst. have also been received, but they contain no informa-
tion of importance.

DOWNIN.%-S fREF.T, InCEMBER 12. 1812.

A Dispatch 01 which the folhwing is an extract, has been this day
received by Earl Bathurst, from Gvneral the Marquis of ;rVellington,
dated Frenada, `2.sth November, 1812.
The greata, ►►art of the enemy's force which had crossed the Tot ales
have retied across that river ; and, it is reported, have directed their
march towirds the Douro _

A part of the troops which had moved to the Huelva, returned to—
wards Salamanca ; and '' hers which hail advanced to Tamamett
returned towards 11:e Tornics by Escurial towards Los Santos.
Many ine;, why were missing have joined their regiments.

FURTHER SUCCP4SES OF THE 11,USTANS. .
The disintekes received from Lord CATucART in the
eat lv part of the week, h:i%e supplied us with a clear account
of the 'nn ev.enti :ar'• ksses of the enemy, in their retreat
from Moscow, an,! of t!.e a•Aivitv and successes of their pur.
Filets. It appears that the ruined state of that city was not
the onl:, r i•r+n that determined NAPoi.Eot: to quit its rep
mains, and spend :11, fc.:t months or the winter in search of
winter quarters. The constant inroads made by the Russian
pal ties on tt. 'ong 'l!iv of his communications, and the rapid
advance of the teiliforced at wins of WITTGENST LIN and
the flanks of the corps that guarded the
ba,is of his operations on the Dwina and in Vo!hynia, con-
vinyi-d him that unless he speedily retraced his. steps, the
fortes in h at' w,inld be entirely overpowered, and he
should find himself co:opie'cly surrounded at the distance of
300 mites from any of divisions. To conceal hi.,
tion from Trine- Lori:sow, and the other Russian Com-
mander. in his immediate vicinity, he made a demoustra.

KENNEY AND REYNOLDS.

MR. EDITOR—As yours is the only weekly Journal
which regularly notices the Theatre at all, and the only one
which has any pretensions to impartiality and candour, I
wish to be allowed to offer, through its niedinin, a few uh.
servations on the drama.

I have always thought that an author, or one who appear.
before the public as an author, ought, if he take his piece
from another, candidly to acknowledge the obligation. 'l%)
me, therefore, it does not appear creditable to a man, to
bring, f'rward as an original production that which is only a
translation. Feeling this, I think Mr. KENNEY when he pre-
sented the farce called " Love, Law, and Physic," ought to
have made it known that it was a translation of " Le Colla-
teral" of PICA RD. Mr. KENNEY, from knowing how effec-
tive the character of " Lc Collateral" was in the hands of
the celebrated PERDU, might have been justified in adapting
that farce to the English stage fur the purpose of giving one
of our comic actors a good part, but it would have been
quite as well to have openly stated that it was taken from
the French, instead of endeavouring to palm it on the puir
tic as an original production.
Many pieces have been produced avowedly of Frendi
origin, .but I do not recollect that they fared any the woi e
on that account. Mr. K ENS EY was therefore letraiol
by " false Alarms" into this disingenuous line of conduct,
unless indeed it has been resolved by the Manager to "'fora
Out" any performance that is not supposed to be original.
If such be the case, the man of " The Woild" may be eN-
cused for " Raising the Wind" in this way.
I must, however, observe, that this is not Mr. K ENNEY'S
first offence. Ills " False Alarms" was a close tran,latki
of an old French play, called "La File Capitaine." Wlica
it is known that Mr. KENNEY stoops to tricks like then, it
is natural to suspect that whenever he is successful, he shines
in borrowed plumes, and not with the lustre of oribitril

genius.
Mr. REYNOLDS, with much magnanimity, has disdained
this covert mode of proceeding, and has openly avowed that
his new play is founded on DRYDEN'S " DOn Sebastian:
For this, at least, he is entitled to some respect. lo 111'
case, however, it is equally curious and interesting, to trace
the course of retributive justice. DRYDEN for mangling
811AI;Esrk: ARE, is doomed to be mangled by IIEYNoLnc.
Ile (REYNOLDS) has nobly revenged our immortal bard. )1
spoiling that play which DRYDEN thought his best. This is
. a pleasing reflection and, happily for h. REY AO LDS., there
!S no danger of his suffering io id turn from any future

ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

A mall drill, recently born, was found dead ear!y in the morttina
of Friday se'smight, in Covent-garden Marker. On an investieation
sslrich took place before the Coroner, it appeared, that the child had
not been still him, but had been subsequently put to death, and a re
ward is offered for the discovery of the murderer.
Atdr Ittor.—On Sunday evening, about forty of the labour
ing class of Irishmen assembled at the Cheshire Cheese, public-house,
and having fastened the doors of the large room in which they
were, they behaved moat outrageously, and at length the landlord re-
quested admission, wlich they refused, and he was at length 'Hider the
necessity of informing them, that he must be obliged to send for the
guard from the York Hospital. Ills remonstrances, together with
Clark, the constabl#, having failed, the said guard was sent frr ; but
the refractory party having overpowered them, bent their firelocks
double; after amusing themselves in their own way, they departed,
having done considerable mischief in the neighbourhood, and particu-
larly in the public-house. Their force prevented interruption to their
destructive career ; but three principals, who were recognised at the
time, were secured, trod underwent an examination at Dow-street ;
they were severally committed in default of bail.

BIRTH.
Lady Holland, of a daughter, at Holland House, Kensington : the
infant survived its birth only a few minutes.

MARRIED.
At Clewer, C. Haynes, Esq. one of the Poor Knights of Windsor,
to MTS. Smyth, (being his third wife), widow of Mr. Smith late one
of the Paor Knights.
At Wisbech, after a courtship of four days, Mr. john Vurley, gen-
tleman, aged 74, to Mrs. A . Lunn, hosier, aged 48, both of that place :
this is the fifth lady that this gentleman has lead to the hymeneal
altar.
At Wisbech, Mr. Wm. Clifilen, widower, aged 60, to Miss M. A.
Briggs. aged 22. The ceremony whereby this fond pair was united,
met with an unexpected &lay, we suppose from the YOUTFIFUL
LILVITY of the bridegrootn. Instead of repeating the worth—" from
this day forward," he would ~ay only," from this day roRTNI our."
The clergyman, in consequence, left the altar; but, after some little
time, he WAS solicited to return, the bridegroom having promised to
repeat the proper words.
DIED.
Lately, at the Hermitage, in the county of Limerick, Lord
Massey.
At Newport, Mr. Godwin, aged one hundred years and seven
months.
On the 19th of lay, in Spain. in his 31th year, Captain Candler,
of the 50th Regiment of Foot, son of the late Mr. S. Chandler, of Col-
chester. In the memorable assault by General Hill, do Fort Napo-
leon, near the bridge of A linarez, he was the first to ascend the ladder,
and after giving to his men an example worthy of so brave an officer,
be gloriously fell while leading them to victory.

trios retired to the ground he had occupied befiire the action, bringing
off his wounded, who have since arrived at Algesiras, and the French

OLD BAILEY.

These Sessions commenced en Wednesday, at justice Hall, in the
Old isaih Previous to the arrival of the Judges, the Recorder
tried two prisoners of the titian:. of Lee and Tyrrell. for picking the
pocket of a gentlcairn in Holborn, who were found guilty.
During the trial of rhos
prisoners, Bowler (whose trial for shootinia
Mr. Burrows was expected to commence that morning) was sitting
behind the bar, attended by a friend ; his toot was apparemly bad,
fioin the lame manner in which he walked, and the heel of his shoe
be!ag tiown. -
w wn the two prisoners were found guilty, the Judges Le Blanc
and Gibhs, came in ; and Bowler, whose name was first on the
called to t lie bar. iht went forward, and when Mr. Shelton, the
Clerk of the Arraigns, was about to read the indictment, Mr. Knapp,
his Counsel rose, and begged the Court to postpone air.: trial, for the
purpose of giving tittle for the attendance of many witnesses, who
were to come from the country. To this Mr. Pooley, for the prose-
cution, consented, and it was finally agreed to take place on Friday
morning —The prisoner, Bowler, being called upon to plead, Mr.
Knapp again rose, and requested the Court not to let him plead, as
he, in his defence, had that to urge (insanity) which of itself ought
not to place him in a situation of pleading at all, till it was shewn
that he was in his right mind. This was overruled by The Judges.
Bowler pleaded " Not guilty," in an audible voice; and when he was
2,ked, as is usual, " how will you be tr:ed ?" he seemed confused,
HI being told to say " by God and my country ;" he did so, and left
the bar perfectly collected.

BRIGHTON JUNE 28.

SHERIDAN'S admirable Comedy of " The Rivals" was
performed here last night ; we have therefore had the satis-
faction of seeing the season commenced with a good play, at
least. "The Rivals," however, is a Comedy which requires
too many good performers to be in a common way well got
up at any theatre out of the metropolis. In the present in-
stance it was decently acted, Jock Absolute and Faulkland
were performed by Messrs. POWELL, 'and HOLLAND. Of
their performances it is unnecessary to speak. Acres was
played by BEVERLEY. from Woolwich, with considerable
applause.

In the Farce of " The Review" a Miss SYDNEY made her
debut in the chaiacter of Grace Gaylorc. Her appearance is
singularly interesting, and her performance was entitled to
high recommendation. She was honoured throughout with
repeated, and almost incessant thunders of approbation, and
she wants nothing but that confidence which time and prac-
tice will not fail to give, to become deservedly one of the
greatest favourites of the day.

Mr.KEMBLE is about to sot off for Dublin, where he is
flgaged to perform a few nights. lie has certainly with-
drawn himself from Covent Garden, consequence of his
dernand of an increase of salary, both as manager and actor,
'laving been refused. Mr. KEM a Le's salary as an actor only,
3t Covent Garden Theatre, was 361. per week ; he de-
manded it to be increased to 601. per week, with the addi •
