assurance, on the part of the EMPEROR of RUSSIA,..,
that he would support him with the whole of his i
Forces. Considerable surprise has been expressed at
the very long delay of the arrival of the Russians;
but we believe the fa& to be simply this--tliat the',
Army which the EMPEROR of RUSSIA promised to
send to the assistance of Prusgia was not to exceed
fifty or sixty thousand men, , and they would have
reached the scene of aetion long ago if it had not
been for the unparalleled successes of the French.
But when the Prussian Army was annihilated, it
would have been absurd for such a force as 50 or
60,000 Russians to have advanced against the
French, as they must inevitably have been ,cut off.
The Plan of the Campaign on the part of Russia
was therefore necessarily changed, and instead of
an auxiliary army, it became necessary that the
whole disposeable force of the RusSian Empire
should be brought . to, bear against, the French ; a
constderable time most therefore of course" have
elapsed before that force could be collected, and the
proper arrangements made.

WE feel great sattsfaaion in being able to state,
that the Decree issued by BONAPARTE against the
Commerce of this Country has not been aged upon-
so rigidly as might have been expelled, particular-
ly in Holland. The Markets of Holland still remain
to a certain degree open ; not indeed to our Mann-
faaures; but for raw materials ,exported from
this country. Several Ships were- insured yesterday
and this morning at LLOYD'S for Holland.

Yesterday the LORD MAYOR held the first Court
of Common Council, which was very numerously
attended. The Thanks of the Court were unani-
mously voted to the late LORD MAYOR, and ordered
to be richly emblazoned, ornamentally written on
vellum, signed by the. Town-Clerk, framed and
glazed, and presented to his Lordship.
INDIA-HOUSE.—Wednesday a Court of Dire&ors
was lwld, when the following Commanders took
leave of the Court previous to departing for their re-
spedive destinations, viz.
• Capt. bun Loch, of the Scaleby Castle, and Capt. Wal-
ter Campbell, of the Nottingham, for Bombay and China.
Capt. George Welstcad, of the Alfred, for St. Helena,
Bencoolen, and China.
ROBERT RICKARDS, Esq. was appointed a Provi-
sional Councillor for the Bombay Government.—
Capt. JOHN ALTHANI CUMBERLEGE was sl.t.orn into
the command of the Ship Surrey, consigned to Ma-
dras and Bengal.
THE THEATRE.—The Merchant of, Venice was
. followed last night at Covent-Garden Theatre by a
"few Farce, entitled Arbitration ; or, Free and
Easy.--The chief chara&er, Connsellor Familiar, is
one of those parts that nobody can perform so well
-as LEWIS, and which are purposely written for
the exertion of his talents.—There.was nothing very
novel in the plot, but it was intricate enough to
excite expe6tation and to produce amusement, and
there were several lively points in the dialogue.
LEwis supported the Piece with all his usual viva-
' city and fire, and was well assisted by BLANCHARD,
LISTON, Miss TYRER, and Miss LOGAN. LISTON
and Miss TYRER had songs of a humorous kind.—
The Piece is said to be written by one of LEWIS'S
sons, and the Prologue seemed to favour the report.
—lt was very well received by a numerous au-
dience.
It is not true, we find, that there has been any
pecuniary difference between Mrs. JORDAN and the
Proprietors of Drury-lane Theatre. They have, we
are assured, recently offered such liberal terms to
this popular Athess as would have been perfe6tly
satistadory to her, if private motives lad not indtioe.d
hrr to decline all theatrical engagements for the
present season.7--As she is an Actress of the true
natural School, we trust that she will not retire
• from public life while her talents are in full vigour,
or without taking a regular farewell of her old friends
and admirers.
KOTZERUk. had just finished his exquisite No-
VELLETTES when the French advanced to Berlin,
and compelled him and other Literary Opponents
of the Gallic Usurper to fly into Russia.—These
NOVELLETTES will shortly appear in London, and
will, by report, rival the happiest produdions of
I MARMONTEL, GESNER, and ST. PIERRE. •
