,• Never was the departure of any corps more re-
gret.ted than that of the 7th Dragoons, at Ipswich,
by the inhabitants and neighbouring country gentry.
Mr. JOHN TROTTER, the Assistant Deputy Store-
keeper-General, has gone out to Sir HEW DALRYJNI-.
PLR'S army.
Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY is to have. an interview
this day with his Royal Highness the Prince of
WALES, after which he sets out to aitlandi, on an
invitation from his Royal Highness the Duke of
YORK.

We have seen letters from off Lisbon, dated the
20th ult. They state " that the second division of
the French had not sailed, but were expected to sail
immediately—that JUNOT and his Generals were on
board their ships, not .daring to set foot on shore—
LOISON and LABORDE Were with difficulty saved
from the fury of the populace, who Irad surrounded
their houses, and threatened to burn them. file
baggage of the enefny had been searched, and much
of the plunder had been taken out, to the great an-
noyance of JUNOT."

THE OPERA-HOUSE.—It has been thought strange,
that after the Covent-Garden Company should have
been admitted so liberally into this Theatre, it should
hare received such early notice to quit. But a
misunderstanding has arisen, founded upon the op-
position between Mr. TAYLOR and Mr. WATERS,
about which the Public has heard so much. This,
Matter has been erroneously mentioned, in a Morn-
Mg Paper, to .the discredit of Mr. TAYLOR, whose
Conduct, we understand,. has been uniformly open,
candid, and •disinterested, throughout the Whole
transaaiou. The Mdrning Paper says, that " Mr.
HAt;Rls had undertaken to give 30001. for the use
of the Theatre, but that sonic dispute had arisen
with respeel to the payee ; Mr. TAYLOR wishing to
receive the cash, and Mr. HARRIS thinking it more
safe and fit to pay it,iuto the hands of a Banker,
for the use of all the parties interested in
the produce of the Premises."—Now we are
assured, from authority on which we rely, that
so far was Mr. TAYLOR from " wishing to. receive
the cash," that he positively refused to receive
it when Mr. HARRIS proposed to pay it into
his hands; and he himself proposed that it shoul4
be' vested in the bands of a Banker, in order to covert
the expellee of insurance, &c. &c. during the time
the Company performed there. Before, however,
this matter was settled, Mr. WATERS sent a notice
to' Mr. HARRIS, 110110 pay any money arising from
the Opera House on this ground, except fat-the in-
terest of Mr. WATERS. Mr. HARRIS to whom it
must haVe been indifferent to whom he- should pay
the money, except for the preference which he
might naturally be inclined to give to Mr. TAY-
LOR, who. so promptly tendered the Theatre to
him, is therefore placed in a vexatious uncer-
:fanny on this occasion, and the money will, of,
course be a subject of future litigation between the
adverse parties in the Opera House.—But, indeekt,
it was impossible for the Covent-garden Company to
remain long in that. Theatre, if no dispute had arisen,
on account of the necessity for restoring it to its
former situation. •
