PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL BLUCHER..

His Majesty the King of PRUSSIA, say, Sove-
reign; has entrusted the with the corm-nand of a corps
of Prussian trot(ps,' wh:ch, united to. the Swedish
forces, is about to commence its, operations against
the enemies of our country, under the command in
chief of the Ring of S.,vwDEN.
on; the one hind, the just cause of. the King,
our Sovereign, is urageouslyi supported by great
and 'powerful ; so, .on the other hand, the
cries of Our oppressed and suffering country sun-linen.
every Prussian to its defence.
moment of und?rt*ing thiS is qt length ar-
riverh and I therefore' now call upon all patriotic
Prussians, who any capable of military service, whe-
-ther residing in Prussia or in foreign Countries, and
armed Or unarmed, as circumstances way permit, to
repair to the Corps under.my comrnand,where every
dilly received-, maintained, and advanced,
andthere to-operate',in attaining the great and sub-
, end before ns.

Inhabitants of the Prussian Monarchy ! Recol-
le& .the state Of your count,ry, when, not one, but
many enemies, made war against. ie auring seven
long years. Be mindful of the glory of your ances-
tors, who were its brave and vi&orious defenders ;
show yourselves worthy of them and learn, like
them, to conquer or die!

" BLUCHER."

Suc'b is the scarcity of'provisions in the COuntries
now occupied by the Vrench and Russian Armies, that
a loaf of black bread, weighing 5 lbs. sells at a ruble.
The stores of linseed, pOtatbet;, and pease,:which the

natives had torn ed for their support, have been emp-
tied for the sustenance of the French Army.
On the 29th of. March . a violent storm burst on
, the village of St. Die, near. Nancy ; of 30 houses
which composed the village, 27 were blown down ;
40 dead bodies are already dug out of the ruins—all

the Cattle were destroyed.
A dreadful thunder'stortn occurred on the Ist ult.
at Richmond, Atneriem. The- continued lightning
was more awful than any remembered—it destroyed
nearly all the Windowsinthe town, and set tire to a
large store near the Market Bridge. . N
A smart shock of an "earthquake was experienced
at St. John'S (Antigua) on the evening of the 21,,th

of April.
The Party who have so resolutely determined on
Opposition, per las et nefas,..seem to think it possi!-
We' to dine themselves into the good graces of the
POlie., To
.make us forget the unconsti'.utional
manner of forming the late Cabinet, their forced
union of i'wo incompatible offices in the person of one
of4s Members, and their clumsy mal-a-droit s►rengti

. . , .
in taxation, they propose—a 7oast I To the charge
of having endeavoured to •inAead the KING, of
having dissolved :Parliament, in November, before
producing their' favourite measure, in order that,
when it.,should be understood, another di4solution

Might semi too inconvenient to I,:t ventured Upon,
and to the long list' ofruther offences. in their mode,
of .prosecuting that measure, they replied with a—
Sorzg !. The dislike of one part of the Public,i.and
the indifference of another part, they encounter by
an invitation to dine in company with DukeS, and a
'ticket, which will entitle the bearer to bti` mistaken
for a-Politician!

THE THEATRE.—The whimsical Comedy of Five
Miles: Off, which was so successful last. season -at
the Haymarket
,Theatre; I.yas represented at that
place on Sattirday, and was very well received. It
was followed -by The Irish Widow. The Widow
Brady, was performed by Mrs. LITCHFIELD; who
supported it with much spirit and humour, and was
received with,great applause. ;The. last Piece was
Toro Thumb, and the Audience-were much diverted
by the grotezque grandeur of ,King Arthur and his
Court.
PAEISIAN TrinATßE.—Among the most recent
novelties on the Paris stage, mentioned in the last
Papers,' are a translation of Moapxy's Orphan of
China, and a Piece from the popular Novel of Tom
Jones.. In the list bffortheorning lltamas, we find
one founded upon the recent English Novel, enti-
tled the Libertine,' which is announced under the
title of Angelo, the hero of the interesting scene.
. There, is. ground: to believe, that Alexandria has
'not been, nor is it likely that it will be evacuated by
our troops ; the .Hazard Sloop arrived at Atalta on
the 13th ult. with dispatches from Egypt, trans-
,mittect by General FRAZER. The; dispatches re-
;Attired the immediate'departure from Malta of the
Viauallers and Store-ships which were lying there
, at. that time, and they accordingly sailed' for Alexan-
dria the following day. A few days afterWaHs, the
rocket VeiseSs put tc sea for the same' destination.'
This dOes not indicate any intention on the part of
General :FRAzz.a"lo abandon 'Alexandria.
OFTHALMjA-:Several Medical PrOfessors have
treated .the disordey, Which haS been termed the
Egyptian Opthalmia as contagious. We. expressed
our disbelief at-the time Ithat- any disorders-of the
eye- are eontrious; and a circumstance is said td
have. -occuTrecl: which, if true, will justify Our °pi,
nion. According to. report;- many soldiers who
served
.with great gallantry' in Egypt, and have lost
theirsight since they returned to this.country, were
haye;brought
.hack with them The late 4
seeds-of this disorder. It is said, howeVer,",that they
haVe used a mixture of corrosive :Iticlimate,tnerairy
• and hellebore, for the purpose of producing blitid-
ness, in:order to retire from service upon a pension.
We should be glad to find that this shocking story
is ill-founded,' but we are assured that there is too-
mtia truth iu it.• .
