trannfland amb;tion, the fault is not imputable to '•1
the British Government. Besides, the Negotiation did
not lull our Ministers into negligence—they were ad-
tive.in preparing Expeditions, and they had an oppor-
t unity of renewing our amicable relations with Prussia,
and consequently of obtaining a probable -co-opera-
.tion on herpart-in any measures-against France, in
case the latter should make such demands as would
necessarily put an end .to all hopes of pacification.
Thus then the Negotiations: have been produaive
of good consequences as a measure of experimental
policy, and have enabled us to continue hostilities
upon a better footing, not only with respe& to the
opinions of the People -here, but: on the Continent
in general, even comprehending the French, inde-
pendently of the important acquisitions which we
have made during the progress of these Negotia-

Lions.

The Royal Westminster Volunteers, 01. ROBERT-
SON, yesterday, marched some' miles out of town to
pra&ise ball-firing, with knapsacks, haversacks, can-
teens, and a day's provisions ; notwithstandincr the
fatigue of which, they this morning mustered at
nine o'clock, for the purpose of paying the last sad
token of respe& to the late long and faithful Repre-
sentative of Westthinster.

The Loyal Southwark Corps of Volunteers, with
the Sharp Shooters attached, mustered yesterday
morning at Horsemonger-lane, and marched to Clap-
ham-Common, where they were met by the Wands-
worth Volunteers. Tne two Corps ss'ere: brigaded
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel ALCOCK.
They amounted together to about 700 rank 'and file.
There was no opposing force, Consequently nothing
of the sham-fight that was expeaed could take place.
The Corps were occupied till near three o'clock, in
performing the whole of the field-manoeuvres of a
battalion of Infantry. They acquitted themselves in
a manner highly creditable to their discipline. The
Sharp Shooters skirmished in front of the line, and
prote&ed the various evolutions and new allignments
against the attack of the supposed enemy. After
presentine- arms, and passing the Colonel in review,
the whole repaired to the Windmill Inn, on the
Common, where the Southwark Volunteers had pro-
vided a substantial military dinner for themselves and
their Wandsworth Allies. The afternoon was spent
in temperate-conviviality, and soon after dusk the
drum beat to arms, and the troops. having resumed
'their stations in line, • broke into columns •of com-
panies, and returned to their respe&ive places of
.parade, where ..they. Were dismissed. The day
was favourable, and ,there were several, hundred
of speaators. , .
THE THEATRE,--Mr. EYRE, who held a very
respe&able station on the Bath Stage, last night
made his first appearance before a London Au-
dience, - at Drury-lane Theatre, as Jaques, in As
You Like It: Mr. EYRE has a tolerably good fi--
gore of the middle size, and a regular set• of fea-
tures that are capable of expression. HiS voice is
clear and powerful, and his utterance very distina.
He displayed a just conception of the part, and
de-
livered' the dialogue with simplicity and force. At
times we- thought he was 'Somewhat too formal in
his utterance ; but his manner altogether was, ex-
pressiveof that, sententious gravity which the cha-
realer demands. He will; we doubt not, prove a
yeti/useful acquisition to the Theatre in charaelerS
that require a due expression of moral energy. CHElt-

DUNCAN really possesses abilities that enable her to
hold a distinguished rank, in the present situation of

no means entitled to critical approbation, however
it Might gratify the galleries.- The whole 'of her
performance Was marked by affeaation, coarseness,
and violence. :Her words were either squeezed .or
bawled forth.' Her deportment towards:Chi/undo,
while she gave the Cuckoo Song, was absolutely dis-
gesting. As Orlando supposed she was a boy,, her
familiarities ought to have appeared -very indelicate;
though a much harsher term would havebeen more
applicable 16 her 'manner; but as she win; actually

sideraule amount, and decamped with their bootyby the street-door. A gang of suspicious felloWs

FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM NAPLES, SST.. 2.

" KING JOSEPH has returned frottlCalabria to this
Capital. The day before yesterday (Sunday) there
was, a Public Audience and a Grand parade., His Ma-
jesty reviewed more than 8000 men, among-which
were the Civic Guards,
_the Provincial Guard., and
the Guards' of Honour. His Majesty was attended
by General JOURDAN," Governor of Naples, and a
number of other General Officers.

" King, JOSEPH, before 'he quitted a Country.
Which is the theatre of an unhappy and destructive
war, wished to-give an unequivocal proof of • his
clemency. For this purpose he caused to be pub-
lished, in Hither Calabria, a Proclarnation'prothis-
ing pardon to all . those Who had been. forced or se-
duced into the insurreetion. The following is the last
official accounts from Calabria respeaing the mili-
tary operations On the 22d Augusts Gen. VERDIER,
being reinforced by, other Troops, marched towards
Amantea. .The English.did not expe& him... They
abandoned the gebels, and went on board their.
Vessels. The French Army was divided into ',three
columns, for the.- purpose of surrounding the Re-
bels, who were
,encamped to the number of a
, thousand on the Plain of Montecocozza. A
part of them succeeded.- in gaining the coast,
the others were cut to pieces. Forir hundred,
who were -encamped near Amantea, were made
prisoners. It is not known whether the persons
who fomented the revolt at Amantea are,. or are not,
among the prisoners; but several of the Chiefs have
taken refuge with the
.English. On the 26th Mar-
shal MASSENA was preparing to march to Catanzaro,
arid from thence to Reggio. The two Regiments of
Veldemme and Abruzzo, hearing that that General
was advancing from Cosenza, abandoned Cotrona,
and embarked' for Sicily. The Division orMilimoT,
and the Regiment of Ventimille, remained_ at Co-

senza."

CASSEL, 5EPT.13.7.-A Treaty has been conclud-
ed at Berlin between Baron W.uss, in the name -of
the Ele&or of HESSE CASSEL, and M. HAuGwITZ,
the Prussian Minister. This Treaty has not been
ratified by oar •Sovereign. Who could eipea that
Prussia would carry her pretensions soffitr ? She
wished for nothing less .than to obtain the Sove-
reignty over Saxony and Hesse. It.was settled by
this Convention, that, there should be two Circles
formed, the Circle of Saxony -an& the Circle of
Hesse, and that the KING. of PansstA-should have
the same rights as the EMPEROR of GERMANY
had, that is to say, Sovereignty, •.Aulic Court,
Tribunals of the Empire, kc. From that mo-
ment -Saxony and Hesse would have been effaced
from the List of Powers, and Prussia would at
once have acquired a population of ten millions.
'The rights of the EMPEROR of GERMANY were mo-
derate& by the number of powerful Princes „who
composed the GermaivErnpire; but by this measure
Prussia would have absolutely. destroyed the So-
vereignty of'her two neighbours. Our Government
would not ratify it ;
,but the Prussian Troops are ad-
vancing to Gottingen.
. DRESDEN, ^SEPT. I Court is in a state of
the greatest distress. The plan_of the Court of, Ber-
lin is nothing less than to obtatu .an absolute
sovereignty over us and over Hesse. Our Prince
refused to comply with the wishes • of PVISSiiI, but
the. Prussian Troops surround us, and some of them
have 'entered our Territory. France
.has declared. to
us, with great generosity, and with that grandfug,
which belongs to the Emperor N.POLEON, that we
were at liberty .to ata as we pleased. If we chose to
join in the-Confederation of the Rhine, mi Power
couldprevent uS. If we chose to'remaln independent,
and to unite all the Princes of the House of SaXony,
to take the title of -King, and to be placed under
the guarantee -of Prussia,. Austria, Russia, and
France, we were at liberty to: do 'so
if we chose to unite ourselves with Prussia, we thight
do it. But if we. adopted the last plan; the Empe-
ror of France ,would only, consent to it upon condi—
tion that Saxony should be entirely evacuated by the
Prussian Troops: Oar Eleaor, was very • much affe6t-
ed by this declaration on the part Of France; but
declarations 'are of no avail : we have' no French
Troops on our Frontiers,- and the Prussians are
already taking possession of our Territory; \Ve
know, however, that though the Emperor NAPO--
1.4m4 is slow in commencing his movements, he is
, .
not so 'When he 'has commenced -.then'. Saxony is
more powerful than Sweden; and as powerful as
Denmark ; she has nothing . to do with France:7-,
We can maintain 'bur neutrality, and hold the ba
lance between Austria and Prussia. Tht is the
wish of the nation. ' •.
