The Countess of DARBERG, one of the Ladies
in Waiting to the French Empress, according to pri-z
vate letters from Paris, has -been taken up on suspi-
cion of having corresponded with the Author of
The Secret History of the Court and Cabinet of
St. Clend," a Work published in this country. This
Lady, it seems, is confined in the Temple. We
are however assured, that the Work in question
was written by a Foreign Nobleman, who, though
formerly in friendship with the unfbrtuuate Lady,
relinquished all connexion with her when he found
that she had become one of the admirers of
D'ONAPARTE. •

A Letter . from Rouen, dated February 16, says,
" The comet which. our Astrononiers discovered
through the fogs of the Seine, still continues to ex-
cite the utmost anxiety atitong the ignorant classes
of the people. In several groupes, collecied last
night upon the .quays, there- were either rogues or
fools, Who ventured to prediEt that the end of the
world would take place at tweliie o'clock precisely.
On the faith of these prophets, other fools hastene&
hi crowds, to the churches, to prepare For the tre-
mendous catastrophe with which they Were threaten-
ed. When we relied on the propensity of the
multitude to be .led away by deception, we shall not
be.astonished at the grossues of the snares which
.are laid for it, but that a much greater number are
not deceived. There will be rogues and impostors
'as long as there are dupes and ignorant people; that
'is, for even". •

The circumstances respeairig the Annuity which.

'l't ORATORIO;—This entertainment last night
at Covent-Garden Theatre,. consisted of a miscella-
neous seledion from HANDE L and other Composers,
but chiefly from the former. The Performers ail
exerted themselves with' ere% particularly RRA-
HAM and Mr. DICKONS. As BRAHAm; did not ap-
pear to tyke part in the Te Dellin, the Audience ma-
nifested much displeasure, and he was obliged to
come forward. He excused himself by alledging
that he had agreed with the Condualors to be ex-
empted from that service, As this sort of "objeCtion
on the part of principal Perfortners has.been often a
source of dissatisfadion to an Audience, it is strange
that they should continue to expose themselVes to
public displeasure. NIA It A • suffered severely on the
same ground;. and BRAHANI ought to know better",
than to requirenny such exemption.
