TUG!' U'ATER AT LONDON [MIDGE TO-NORRMC,
Dlorning, he minutes after U. I Evening, 13 minutes after 7,

By &Heligoland Mail, and Bremen Papers to
the 18th, received this morning,, we are put in
possession of the very gratifying and important
het*, which will be found under the usual head.
We'clo tint expect any but good news from the
Continent ; but we confess, that this is not only
of greater magnitude, but even more advantageous
in its whole tenour, than we bad ventured to
anticipate. The grand finale to the Tyrant's pro-
apiiiiirritlie 'Elbe fs evidently at hand: If the-
-141.1,14 Government were to persevere in its base
end mischievous attachment to BUONAPARTR, its
c'hstinacY would be punished even by its own
subjects. All Holstein has declared for the Allies,
Ould.%vhile the Landwehr .have positively refused
to :navel
against them, and dissolved themselves ;
in some places 'the population have proceeded so
far Uto maltreat the French. But there is no
Probability of the Danish Cabinet holding
eut4nY longer. All Holstein has been over-run,
and the Allied troops possess it wholly from
Biel In the Baltic to the mouth of the Eider, be-
bind "'Well river the Danish force has taken up
Its station. Gluckstadt and liamborgh are com-
Vitts), though distantly invested, and the Head-
2ustters of the CROWN PatNce are said to he at
Otgeburg, a day's march into Milstein beyond

The Elder is the northern boundary of this
line province ; and Rendsbnrg on the celebrated
banal which unites the Baltic Sea with the
t,
letioan Ocean, and Altona and Gluckstadt are all
the PlaceS that remain in the bands of the Danes.
it is given out that 1-famburgh, the gates of
Which were closed on the llth, will not capitu-
late. The Danish advanced posts are ordered not
to fire on the Cossacks—a strong proof that
.Den-
.l4lk has been drubbed and terrified into a sense
of
,honest
apoli_cy and national justice. Two Jot-

The surrender of ZaMOSC is officially confirmed.
knd Modlin, the last fortress held by, the foe on
The Vistula, has offered to capitulate.
But the most important part of the news, and
gi'eatly important it is, is that the whole con-
tingent of the Germanic Princes, the ci-devant
C'nfederption of the Rhine, ate to be in Arms upon
Ih4t 'liver on the Ist January. Their numbers are

1lte3"1 conies nearest to mu. feelings is the ar
t
*tele from Bayonne of the 19th, which says, that
411 the preceding day the British made two region=

,4 "141 SotYLT had ordered the right bank of the
""uraad both hanks of the Bidouseto be inundated.
1.),g to direct the particular attention of our,
ca 475 to the name of the last-inehtionA river,
ter 'Too that hinges the ‘vhole meaning and value
tr this communication. The. Bidouse has, in the
tallshltion &tun the French, been erroneously fen-
kiddasson, and thus all the Morning Papers
ou'e into a misconception. The Biddassoa
"'gallant troops passed tong ago, as the boundary,
tween spill') and Fefince ; it runs in a course
:111 neatly East to West (inclining a little North-
(l) among the Pyrennres, and falls into the Bay
Of Iliac,
B„ut. ay, between Pontcrahia and Andaye. Had
penetrated to this stream to open tlic sluices

on its banks, then; indeed, we should hare I:J4 tea-
' son to fear that there were some latent truth in the
Gallic claims of success near Bayonne; but this
is, thank Heaven, nothing near the real :Acne of
action. The Bidouse rises on the French side of
the Pyrennecs, and running nearly north, washes
the town of Bidache, about twelve miles east from
Bayonne, and disembogucs itself into the Adour.
Thus, instead of being in the rear of Lord
LINGTON, it is upon his right, and the inundations
resorted to by the enemy are clearly their' last
desperate resource to stop the victorious progress
of our gallant Army in a general advance against
Bayonne and all their -positions : had any proof
therefore been wanting of the importance and
brilliancy of our achievements from the 9th to the
13th, it is to be found in this admission on the
part of an adversary not apt to let the truth peep
out, if he -cad by any artifice or falsehood con-
ceal it.

We are most impatient for the receipt of Lord
WELLINGTON'i Dispatches which we are now ap-
Treliensive the stormy weather may have prevent-
ed from reaching this Country. Most sincerely
do we pray, that no accident may have happened
to the Messenger charged with the gratifying
tidings, and our anxiety is increased by the
knowledge of the concern and apprehension
which pervade almost every British bosom in the

interim between the information of a battle hav-

ing been tonght, and the publication of the names
of those who have bled for their country. We
shall, therefore, lose no time, and spare no pains,
in laying the first accounts that may arrive before

the public.
The other subjects touched upon in the French
Papers are of less moment. We are again for

the fiftieth time assured, that all is secure and
quiet on the Rhine—an assurance hardly credible,
did it come from a 3011ECe on which reliance could
be placed, and' utterly unworthy of belief as ema-
nating from BUONAPARTR. On the side of Hol-
land, several advantages are pretended to,. but we
have later intelligence from the Waal, which dis-
proves these reports. A demonstration of an of-
. fensive movement from Ante.rerp towards Breda
is also spoken of, but it is not whispered that
Breda is in the possession of the Allies ! We are
of opinion, that the Antwerp force will have quite
enough to do to defend itself.
From Italy the news are of the same moderate
kind—the victorious BEAUHARNOIS is behind the
Adige in one of the strongest ,positions the coun-
try affords—the first whence the French were
beaten in the glorious Campaign of 1799, which
to all appearance is about to have a counterpart
added to it, as we arc informed from Bremen, that-
-40,000 Russians are ordered to join General /im-
mix's already superior Army, From such a junc-
tion, may wo not expect the second edition of SU-
WARROW, and the entire restoration to independ-
ence of every State in Italy.
The proceedings of the Legislative Body on the
22d and 23d, consist in the election 'of their Com-
mittee of five, &c. accordingito the mode prescrib-
ed by BUONAPARTE. These Instruments arpa_
rently chosen by Ballot, but in reality selected by
the Tyrant, arc to be placed under the direction
Of CANBACRAES, REGNAUD DE ST. JEAN D'ANGE-•
cr, and REGNIER (of Massa) and au attempt will
be made to sink the Legislative Assembly into an
absolute Cypher, while these worthy Heroes
do the business of the Usurper. That his affairs
are neither ripe nor as yet consonant to his willies,
is, we think very evident from the singular
postponement of the audience to be given to the
Minister of War, which was to have taken
place on the 24th inst. but is now fixed for the
Bth of next month.

The French Funds remain nearly stationary—
no symptom of peace being expected. in that
country,

Letters from Holland are said to have been re-
ceived to the-2,lth inst. by a vessel which reached
Grave Send yesterday morning. Neither Nuarden
or Gorcum had yet, surrendered. - Great activity
was employed in assembling the forces of the
country, and in accelerating the movements of the
Allies ; and the most flattering hopes were enter-
tained of the speedy expulsion of the enemy.. •
A private Letter from Gottenhnrgh,of the 15th,
gives us reason to suppose that peace will imme-
diately be concluded between Sweden and Den-
mark ; the latter ceding the Bishopric of pron.
theim. There was a report at Gottenbnigh that
the Danish privateers bad been called in.
• At Copenhagen, the exchange on London has
risen to 160 rix-dollars per 11. ; but on Ham-
burgh, has fallen there to 3,400 rix-dollars for
100 rix-dollars Hamburg,' Bank-money : an enor-
mous exchange, which shoes the great deprecia-
tion of the Danish -paper-money.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Yonx will

THE THEATRE.

After the Comedy of 4 Bold Stroke.for a Wife,
which was well supported by 13ANNISTRR, ANN
Des, DOWTON. and Mrs. GLovan, the new Pall•
toinime of Harlequin Harper, or A Jump fur Ja-
pan, %vas repeated. The several changes in the
machinery, &e. went off with increased facility
and precision. On the appearance of the Dog, a
considerable clamour arose. Part otthe audience
were in favour of this new Performer, but the
majority were obviously hostile to his mode of
acting. When this candidate, for theatrical how
flours withdrew, the Pantomime proceeded
without interruption, till towards the conclu-
sion, when a new tumult arose with a call for
a song that had been omitted. The Magician
of the piece came forward, but he was not Con-
juror enough to allay the storm. At length Mr.
RAYMOND appeared, but he was not more success-
ful, and therefore retired. lie appeared a second
time, but it was impossible to hear what he said,
though it was reported that he signified the dog
should be withdrawn, and that .the vocal per
formers had quitted the Theatre. A few turbulent
spirits remained in the gallery long after the ma-
jority of the aadience had ideparted.

Friday evening the play of The Stranger vt.&;
performed at Whitehaven, for the benefit of Mr.
CII4IILES 144101. E. During the (pinch act,. Mrs.
CRUSE, who performed the character of 'Mrs.
Haller, appeared very much agitated, and when
the bell rung for the fifth act, the audience were
informed that she was " very seriously indispos7
rd." The part •was pleasingly read by Miss
Ghoul . In the interim, Mrs. CRUSE had been
taken into the ladies dressing-room ; Medical as-
sistance was at hand ; anti before the curtain
dropped,, she was safely delivered of a s til4-born
