West, distant about- is leagues, the brig-Hazard,
of London., from dliebec, was captured by 'a French
schooner privateer, who put on board'of her several
of the crew, but the Harriett soon after heaving in
sight, the Frenchmen deserted the captured brig,
and made towards the privateer, leaving only three
men and a boy in the vessel. At one, P.M. the
Harriett spoke the Hazard, and about. four, P.M.
she spoke the Busy `cutter, and informed them of
the situation of the brig, who immediately went in
chase., and, it is supposed, took her into Fowey.—
The Busy had previously chaced the privateer about
six hours, but owing to superior sailing, the latter
escaped.

Fart of the sick of the army from Walcheren,
amounting to nearly 700 men, were disembarked on
Saturday, and.sent to the different hospitalS in Ports-
mouth and the neighbourhood. The disembarkation
was under the superintendance of Dr. Vestrom,
Surgeon.;General of the King's German Legion, for
which purpose he has been several days waiting at
Portsmouth. Several officers are sick at Portsmouth,
and those who wish it are to be provided with most
comfortable sick quarters in the Royal Naval Hospi-
tal. The remainder of the sick were to be landed
yesterday. The 82d appears to have,suffered most.
We are happy to hsar that a great proportion of
the sick men now at Harivich are doing well. A
considerable number_ were on Monday able to join
their regiments, though they have only been a week
on shore. ,Only one died in the course of Saturday.
It is feared that three transports full of troops,
which sailed in the beginning of last week trom
Flushing, are taken by the enemy. There were on
bOard them part of the First Regiment of. Guards,
Major BnowN, and part of the 28th regiment, and a
large party of Staff Officers. They were, seen rm

.PIP' IEI Cal 1 lir.,

The concourse of people who assembled yester-
day in all the streets leading to the new Theatre in
Cwt:Mt-Garden, exceeded any thing of the kind we
eVeY-witnessed, except when public curiosity crowd-
ed'to the first appearance of Master BETTY. On
that octasion we conceive that there was a greater mul-
titude, than was last night asseMbled.—The doors
were dpened'at the usual time, and the Theatre was
very soon atter completely filled. Persons who had
taken boxes weeks before found no possibility of
getting beyond the lobbies, particularly in the second
tier. When one box door was opened for the ad-
mission of the proper claimants of places, the crowd
rushed in and soon spread themselves over the ad-
joining boxes, where they intrenched themselves,
too strongly to be removed. The box-keepers in
vain attempted to preserve the places for the right-
ful claimants ; they were driven away, and when
they returned with peace officers, the latter saw
immediately that all regulation was impracticable,
and withdrew from the scene of ae-tion. The lobbies
and all the avenues of the Theatre were crowded,
and a vast mob occupied Bow-street, through which
it was a work of great difficulty to pass, and many
who had taken places gave up all hope of entrance,
and retired from the danger of the attempt. At
length, at the usual hour, the curtain drew up, the
Band began to play " God save the King," and the
vocal performers came upon the stage to sing that
loyal strain. They were received with the warmest
applause; this was the only part of the entertain-
ment that the audience were permitted to hear, by
the great number who- manifestly came with no
other intention than to raise a riot.

Soon after the vocal Performers had retired, Mr.
KENIBLE came forward in his dresS as Macbeth, in
order to deliver the Address, which we have sub-
mitted to our readers. The moment he appeared,
a tremendous howl commenced, and it was impos-
sible ,for the audience to witness more than the
graceful dumb shew which accompanied his attempt
to deliver it. Not a syllable could be heard from
the beginning to the end. A written paper was
handed to him from the Pit, which, after looking
at for a moment, he put into his pocket, wisely
avoiding any waste of time by attempting to com-
municate its contents to the audience. One person
endeavoured to speak front the lower boxes, but if
his voice had been Stentorian, it would have been
unavailing : he therefore desisted from the attempt,
and nobody followed his example. From this time
an incest int howling of various kinds took place,
and it was difficult to collect any articulate sentences
from the turbulent part of the audience, except at
times " No increase of prices !"—" Old prices !"
" KESIBLE come Mr,ward !--“ Where's Mr. HA R-
RISi"—" Manager; Manager!"—" Off, off !"—" No
CATALAN! !" These were the prevailing' sounds
whet) the Theatre was not stunned with a general
and mingled roar. The cry against poor CATALANS
seemed to be the most violent and oftenest repeated
of all, and seemed indeed to be decisive of her en-
, gagernent for, as far as we could jedge,, it Is ill be
a much easier matter for the Proprietors to subdue
the storm raised by the augmentaiion of the prices,
than to induce an unruly-mob to tolerate her -appear-
e. Tins ungovernable fury continued through
the whole-of the play, and not one of the perform-
ers could be heard in a single syllable. When Mrs.
SIDDONS first earne on with the letter iron) Mac-
beth, s:le displayed great agitation, but the cheering
plaudits ,v Lich she received, and which were heard
am dst ail the general uproar, revived her, and she
wo,t oh wan her part ; but all she displayed was a
dignity a,,,1 variety of gesture suited to the sentiments
Winch she' was supposed to utter: indeed we hope that
this great actress and all the rest of the performers did
not fatigue men lungs with an attempt to utter any
thing, as it would have been labour in vain. At
!engin the play ended, and the performers were re-
warded for their exeitions by a parting howl of the
most terrific description. Mr. BRUNTON then made
an attempt to announce the performances of this
night', but with as little success as had attended the
prowess of the play. Between the play and the
firce of The Quaker, an interval of comparative
tranquility took place, snd many persons retired
from the Theatre; but as soon as the Farce began,
the tumult was revived, though some of the Per-
formers were kindly greeted on their entrance.--..
INCLEDON'S powerful voice was not heard a'moment,
and though LisToN's whimsical gestures- excited
la fighter; he shared the general tate, and could not
render a word audible.r-Buc though a violent tumult
prevailed all through the Farce, it was evidently not
quite so violent as during the play. Many of the
perturlpd spirits had no doubt left the Theatre, and
many others had quite exhausted themselves in their
clamours.--A great part of the general noise resulted
from the attempts of chose in the Lobbies to procure
admission into the Boxes, by banging and kicking
the doors, some of which %.vere broken in pieces,
arid others forced from their hinges.--'-We are glad
to find. that, with all this contusion and-riot, no se,
nous mischief took place, and the worst we saw, and,
indeed; heard of, was, that a drunken boy cut his
fingers in breaking one of the glass panes in the
doors.,
After all, it v‘ ill hardly be believed, except by
those who are accustomed. to the tumults of a

Theatre, how small a proportion the -persons who
crreated all this confusion bore to. the vast body of
the audience in general. But it is indeed, and it has
nlwajs been found an easy matter for a few discon-
tented individuals to disturb an audience.—We dc;
not, however, mean to say that only a few persons
occasioned the confusion of last night. By a judi-
cious arrangement of Mr. H4Ratsi►jun. who reso-
lutely advanced into the front of the house, and had
two ceutinels placed at every door, any person was
pertpiued to depart from the Theatre, but none to
enter; consequently the turbulent party might be,
gradually diminished, but could obtain no reinforce-
ments. There were some adventtirous females

among the audience in the Boxes, but altogether
fewer women, even including the unhappy class who
:generally resort to the Theatre, than we ever .ob-
served on similar occasions.
And now we haye only to say a few words re-
speCting the Theatre itself, which certainly, in point
of splendour and general convenience, tar surpasses
any thing of the kind which this country has ever
seen. We have so tully,.descriOe4 the interior, as
well as the external parts, that we have onlX to
add, that the brilliancy and elegance which appear•
ecl when it is lighted, aro calculated to• gratiti the

eye, and leave nothing for the imagination to re-
quire. It is impossible for us to say how the Per-
formers can be heard, for that trial is still to be
made, but they can be completely seen in every part
of the Theatre.

When the whole of the performances were ended,
deep murmurs were heard, and some menaces of
active mischief. 'At this period three of the Bow
street Magistrates made their first appearance upon
the stage in that charmer, and in mild and conci-
liating terms beseeched the unruly to disperse, and
retire to their peaceful homes. This pacific address,
though much interrupted, was heard with more at-
tention than could be expe&ed, and though the
worthy Magistrates were obliged to,finish their parts
too soon, as symptoms of reiterated violence began
to appear, yet in about an hour afterwards the
Theatre was entirely cleared, and we are glad tc
add that it has sustained but very slight injuries, not,
withstanding all the formidable omens of the pre
ceding teopest.--The Address came from the fertile
and ready pen of Mr. Coa.mAtit.

OCCASIONAL ADDRESS

ON THE OPENING OF THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL IN

COVZNT.G A RDEN, SEP rssißlik. XS, 1809.

SPOKEN BY MR. KEMIII.2.

In early Greece, and in a barbarous age*
A. wretched tumbrel was the A dor's Stage:
The Muse, with cheek r‘clin'd in pensive shame,
Blush'd for her wanderers from the path to Farn..r,
lEschylus sprang ; and storm'd, as he arose,
His Country's passions, like his Country's foes,
Rough from the battle, train'd to vanquish men,
E'en as his sword he wielded, so his pen.
He smote the heart, the trembling sense oppress'jp
And gave no quarter to the human breast.
Yet, Stage Improvement mark'd the Soldier's sway.
And ting'd with Taste the Captives to his lay.
Then, first, (the cart of Thespis overthrown.)
Form'd by rude planks, a Theatre was known:
Coped by the Heavens, it o'erspread the lawn,
And light on Scenic Press appear'd to dawn.
But, all divine, when Sophocles appear'd,
'Twas then the Drama's Majesty was rear'd.
Builders and Decorators came ;—their boast
Was who could grace the lofty Poet most :
The lofty Poet laced not brains to know
That Dramatists require the Drama's shew.
Nature's perfedian springs from various parts
And " Nature's Mirror" needs the Sister Arts.

Hence grew the splendour of the Scene,--and hence -
The hand-maids that embellish eloquence:
Dance, Music, Painting, Pageantry, Parade,—
All that give Zest, or yield I llusion aid.
Rome caught the sparks from Greece ; improvi4 the plaVi
• At last the flame through modern Europe ran.
Our Scene now decks, in an illumin'd age,
The Bards who first gave vigour to our Stage :
Thus Sitakspeare's fire burns brighter than of yore
And may the Stage that boasts him burn no more;

For this our fahrick,—banish we, to night,
Figures worn threadbare, metaphors grown trite.
No Phoenix from her ashes shall arise,—
Stale to our thoughts as sparrows to our eyes ;
No naked Truism be cloak'd anew,
To tell that Fire which cheers, consumes us too ;
,
No,—let a Briton now to Britons speak ;
His cause is strong, although his lan,gl44ge weak.
We feel, with glory, all to Britain due,
And British A rtistS raised this Pile, for You ;
While, zealous as 00 Patrons, here we stands
To guard the Staple Genius of our Land.
Solid our Building, heavy our expence;
We rest our Claim on your Munificence:—
What Ardour plans a Nation's Taste to raise,
A Nation's Liberality repays.

Mit. • Evirc.a,-

• In Ilivse days of eager theatrical speculation, 1
perceive that a' Correspondent of 'yours, under the
signature of " -4/4.;0ril Renter," ventures toirraio,
ttpim ,uch revorrs 'as may have reached hint, the
surpowd arrangenfent under which the Druq-Lane
ComparVis to he colleded together at the-Lyceurn
Theatre. - You? Correspondent has very rashly lis-
] tened-to reports which have not the sn-rallest found-
' -ation in rruth, and the 'Old Rude?. knows little in-
deed of' Mr. SiIEhIDAN, - when be attempts to inst-
( mate it to be.a thing-possible that he-could at a
'mercenary parr,' and prefer his own interest to the
reprd he owes to the oust and pretenble claims of
the ;Ccedttors of the Theatre.. - •

•-I take upon me to aste,-1, that the ouiline of the
propoed arrangement 14 i'redry the reverse of what,
your Correspondent 3uppdses, and tic& can
be more just and -pecultarly•disinterestd than the
conduct-of the PtoprielOrs',ll
I have only. to -add,•t hat I cksist from. further
mission on thi4 subject, because I ani mtortilti that

an a;a111,-nticated answer will rbe sent to your very
inipartiill Paper, which will entirvty contute the
btatt'rneut of your misiiitoltnr-ci Correspondent.
