SEPTEMBER 12,

On the 26th of August General Maxon 'requtst,
ed an Armistice, to adjust the Articles' for the eia.:
cuation of that City. 'General

concert with the GRAND VIZVEIL and the CAFTAII‘.I

ticebegan on the 27th.of August ; on which day
General ihrrcHlNsorr sent iSfr,Di?patehes to infoilit

his Court of this important event.

General MENOU didknot request An Armistice till
the English bad taken two important posts, by
means of which he still maintained some communica.
tion with the surrounding
,Country, And procured
supplies of provisions. General HurcaiNson, after
taking these and other posts, summoned GemIVIENOU
to surrender with the Gar:ison of Alexqndria, pri-
soners of war, unless he would abide the consequence
of a General Assault by the three combined Armies
of the English, the Grand Vizier, and the Captain
Pacha. To this Summons General ME Nov returned
a firm answer, but at length found himself compelled
by the discontent of his Garrison,. who had lost all
llopes of receiving succour, to solicit an Armistice,
in order to conclude an honourable Convention, the
Conditions-of which we expert very soon: to receive.
No. dispatches :have for -a long time arrived so

Mks, Etti.INGTON's third appearance took place
last night at Drury-Lane.. Atter the specimen she
has already given Of her capacity; it is hardly ne-
cessary to observe that the. difference in the size of
the two Houses had no effect on her .vocal powers.
She was equally distintt and equally great through.
out ; and the Audience, as on her two further appear-
ance-s, testified their approbation in the loudest man
Der. The taste of the Public is, upon this occasion, the
same..as that of the' musical amateur ;.and the songs,
Which have been uniformly encored by all parts of
the House, are those in winch she certainly displays
the greatest science, " Ltt not rage," and " The
Sol ller tirid."

,Mrs. MouNTAIN'S Arbates was not unworthy of
the Mandane of the night. As the music was Uri.
ginally adapted to a voice more delicate than that
of 1.17 C L EDON, she was of course more at home in
the character. She was highly applauded through-
out, and particularly in the between her and
Nandane, " For thee I live, my dearest."
Kr Artabanes, displayed his usual taste ;
and DIGNUM and Mrs. BLAND, particularly the
latter, were much applauded.' The -:solanagers are
entitled to great credit for the splendid manner in
which the Piece is embellished. The scene of the
judgment On Arbaces, and the last scene of the
Piece were very superb ; in the latter a Procession
was introduced.

hough, the genius of the English language, and
consequently the taste of the Public, does not well
accord witll kLcitative, the Opera of Artaxerxes,
supported as it is at both houses, promises to be a
faVourite, and to draw full houses for some time
to come. That of last night was very respectable.
'Among a number of persons of distindion were the
PRINCE of WALES and the STADTHOLDER.

Ce*era-Garda:,

Against the at traaion of harmony and Mrs. BIL-
LINGT6N at Drury-lane, Covent-Garden last night
produced two no,.elties, a new Comedy called in.
tegrity, and a new Performer: the Play, we believe
is a translation from tine German.

•It • seems to be the uniform design of all the
modern. Dramatic Writers of that Country, either
*to paint vice in such alluring colours, that it en.
gages afFeition though it cannot procure esteem ;
eir else to draw a picture ofstich perfeet, such romantic
meratitv that though it -may compel admiration,
Yet it defies imitation.—The hero of the Piece in
question is of the latter character, and that nothing
k;el',bwantiog to its singularity, he ism Lawyer.1"
-lately seen benevolent Jews, philosophical
,es, and we are now -presented with an /Jones%
l'aw-rer, who prefers truth. and justice to profes_
eminence and riches, • who, though almost in
the extreme of poverty, will take no fees for sup_
Porting a just cause, and who «ill not undertake
4 bad one.; who loves independence so much, that
though he sees his mother almost starving, yet he
will not suffer her to take a pension, to which she
is entitled by the services of her late husband.

' • It is unnecessary to enter into a detail of the plot.
lorincteed) the whole Play,consists only' in a series
of temptations upon the virtue and chastity of the
Immaculate advocate. The language is full of sen-
timent, often bombastic,
.often common place, and
sometimes ridiculous. The descriptions of distress
are of
nature to excite disgust rather than pity.—
Cold and lutoger, arising from, poverty, are not fit
subjeas for dramatic representation.
'The minute. descriptions of German Dramatists
nave frequently been the . theme of ridicule. This
,Play is not destitute of them, and we believe that
-the Audience were last night, for the first time, pre-
sented•on the Stage with a view of a woman engaged
in that -very useful domestic employment ironing.
'e hope it will be omitted in future, 'as it answers
tic Other purpose bia•that of introducing a miserable
pun about smoothifrg. •
The last Aa is by far the worst in the Piece :
the events are huddled together in the most con-
fused manner, and the deaGuemevr is very similar to
t,hWt.„_of " Grand/IN:her," but without' equal

of
the Performers, we have first to notice Mr.
StonoNs--Frorn the son of Mrs. St snorts, and the
nephew of Mr. KrsaßLE, much was expelled, and
expeetation, however highly raised, was not disap-
pointed. His figure is good, his voice extremely
like that of Mrs. Stoweys and that Qf CtiAra.Es
KEMBLE, his concqflion of the charafter was
tortea,, and his delivery, even of the mass
of monotonous sentimentality, which fell to his
thare, was admirable : his adion is free, and
not too redundant. In shorn, we saw nothing to
reprehend in the whole of his performance, except,
that'sametimes in the middle of a sentence, alter
4tcelling upon the last syllable of a word, Le gives
CYind of aspiration which is extremely unpleasant.

• .
Ina intelligence of the signing the Prc•lithina_
pies of Peace has been received here with most ge-
neral and unbounded joy. All tanks participate in
the feelings which so auspicious an event is. calcu-
lated to create. Last night the Theatre here was
crowded, and the Muse of Mr. STEPH KEMB LE,
ever devoted to the cause of Loyalty and Patriot-
ism, caught the flame, and produced an Address
upon the occasion which was received with the
greatest applause. I send you a copy of it, as it
seems an effusion deserving of general notice and
approbation.
ADDRESS,

IN THE CHARACTER OF BRITANNIA,
Spoken at the Theatre, Scarborough.
THE welcome news Britannia's Sons haVe heard,
Soft Pity's prayers have sheath'd the crirriSon'd sword ;
Upon her Foes just vengeance she has hurl'kl,
And now to Peace restores the suffering World.

Europe beholds her triumphs With amaze,
E'en distant Egypt joins the Shout of praise !
'Tis borne with rapture far as Nile from Thames,
Proclaim'd by Echo floating down their streamt ;
The frowning helmet and the pciitited lance,
No longer scare the pallid Sons of France /
Invasion, sickening at the thought; retires—
That fee'ele Boaster in the dream expires,
The clang of siiins, the cannon's thunders cease,
Furi'd are our .Ensigns in th.tlap of Peace—
Those Ensigns which so lately swept the wave,
And GEORGE returns the Trident Nzr.r u NE gave.

Peace, welcome Peace, with all her smiling Train,
Re-visits this her favourite Isle again ;
The swelling sails of Commerce seek the shore;
Returning Wealth tire drooping Arts restore,
And doubly sweet the Shepherd's reed will spund,
Proclaiiniag Peace to all the vallies round ;
Whilst laughing C ER iss clasps her ample horn,
And PLENTY heaps it with the golden corn.

Thus bless'd, thus happy, !Et our thanks be giv'n,
Oh raise, my Sons, your orii.-ons to He y%)
Long, long niay Peace preserve her Halcyon Reign,
Nor War's dire note di4turo the Land again. •

BURY, OCT. 7.—Lord HERVEY, M.P. for this
Borough, and Under Jccretary of State, with thAr
respectful attention to ins Constituents which merits
commendation, dispatched, an express to this town
late on Thursday-night, with the gratifying intel-
ligence of the Preliminaries of Peace being signed,
winch reached Bury about eight o'clock on the
Friday morning, and was therefore known here
several hours be:owe it was generally plibliShed even
in the Metropolis. The bells were instantly rung,
and dontinued throughout the day, and. in the even-
ing there was a lame bonfire in the Market. place.
Joy indied pervaded every countenance, and Peace!
Peace !. resounded tram every tongue. The mani-
festations of happiness, excited by this event, have
been general in every town and village, and " from
the '—astie to the Cot," all alike express their satis-
faction at the important event.

The Norwich Expedition, which passed through
Ntwmarktt aboth halt past twelve on Saturday
morning, ()rough( to that•piace the first intelligence
of the Prelimihl:te:i of Peace being signed, when
the ringers of ulat town were i,nmediate►y called up,
and rang,throughout the whole night and following
day, in the evening of which the town was ele-
gantly illuminated.

LYNN, Oc.r. 6.—No sooner had the happy event
reached this town on Saturday morning of the sign-
ing of the Preliminaries of Peace, than joy pervaded
the countenances of all descriptions of people. The
bells were set ringing, guns were fired both from
the St. Ann's Fort and the Shipping, and flags and
other emblems of joy were displayed froM the win.
dows of the respective houses ; towards the close
of the day the Loyal Volunteers of this town, under
the command of Major Everard, were drawn up on
the Market-hill, and fired three vollies on the oc-
casion, amidst the reiterated huzzas and plaudits of
upwards of 3000 people.

Nov. w i cH, OCT. 7. The unexpeaed news
brought by nine o'clock on Saturday morning by
the. Expedition coach (two hours before its usual
time) operated upon the feelings of the inhabitants
of this city like an eleclric shock ; general joy per-
vaded every heart and countenance, which immi-
rested itself in various Ways, by the hallowing and
shouting of the multitude ; men of all parties indis-
criminately shaking hands, and congratulating each
other on the news; ringing of bells and firing of
guns succeeded.-
In the afternoon the Norwich Volunteers, with
the ParoChial Corps, were drawn up in the Market-
place, and fired a feu de jgd• and three excellent vol-
lies ; in the evening a large bonfire was lighted up,.
and kept burning till five o'clock on Sunday morn.:
ing. Colours were displayed on the several
churches ; St. Peter's harmonious peal, and the bells
of many other parishes, were rung for three days..
So great was the pleasure felt on the occasion, that
many never inquired on what terms Peace was ol.k.
taincd.

`litut..—The intelligence respeeting the signing
of the Preliminaries of Peace was received with
enthusiasm by all ranks of people. The horses
were instantly unfastened from the Mail, and the
coach drawn triumphantly for upwards of three
hours through the principal streets of the town ;
the bells re-echoed the loud huzzas by ringing mer..
rily throughout the day ; a general display of flags
from the steeples, &c. took place.—But we are
sorry to add,. dm in consequence' of the unguarded
ze*l of •the sailors, &c. who conduaed the Mail
Coach in triumph round the town (literally crowded
both inside
.•.and out with the elevated Tars),. the
same was overturned in the Market place ; by which
accident a.yo.ung man was so severely hurt, that he'
died in the lnfirMary before surgical assistance could
