The !Parley arrived in the Downs the 7th inst.

The Lord Melville, Perseverance, Lord Duncan,
Carnatic, Aottinghin, and Baring, arrived at Ma-
dras on the 3d and sth of July last.

We have:received the Royal Gazette of Amster-
dam, by which we have some information oti the
progress of affairs on the Continent. Under the date
01Burgos, Nov. 6, it is acknowledged, that a Spay
nish army of horn thirty to thirty-41%re thousand men
had arrived in .the netghbourhood of Sallimanca,
where they engaged and surrounded the sixth bat-
talion of the French; but it is added, that a body of
troops afterwards advanced under the command of
General: KELLERIM AN, who.being joined by General
DESSOLLES, with the division of reserve, Salamanca
was retaken. 'We helieve that this allegation is
wholly unfounded.
In an-article troth Frankfurt, of Nov. 15th, it is
mentioned, on 'the authority of letters from Molda-'
via, that the Russians had .gained a decisive -viaory
between Silistria .and Adrianople; and that in COllSC-
(pence of this event they had advanced southward.
The crisis of the Oitotnatrpower seems to be ra-
pidly. approaching. Silistria is seated near the con
dueller.: of the River Missovo and ,the Danube. It
is about 170 miles north-eaSt of Adrianople, and the
latter is only 115 from the Turkish capital.
By accounts from dated, the 14th ult. we
learn that the Prince Viceroy had arrived at that city
from his head-qu irters at Viliach, From the. Lake
of Haarlem, 27th ()fate same month, it is said, that
the Pru4siah Colonel Von KttusEmmtK, who brought

DOVER, riVEC. 7.--Several French privateers have
been seen off here this afternoon ; about four o'clock
two of them were seen chasing .a brig, which they
captured, and afterwards abandoned, to endeavour
to come up with two other brigs going .past' here,
which they immediately gave chase to, one of which
got under shelter of the flatteries at Cock point, and
the other also effeded her escape. They were so doss
in with the shore at one time, that guns were fired
from the port at them, but without effed.

Mr. HAMILTON IS continued by Lord WELDP'
LEY as Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs.
The KING. has been pleased, to appoint Monde
next, at two.o'clock; to receive the Sheriffs of, LIP'

Dr. SAVNDERS, and two other physicians, yeater‘

plaint proceeded from an empyemai or matter in the,

THE THEATEES.—The OPera of The Wood.oa
and the Afterpiece of Don Juan, Were the 1)eco s.
intended for representation last night at Covell`
Gorden Theatre. -The first aft of the former
wad
jn as usual, heard with attention, and much of 06
'second, but the arrii al of the half-price squadron
put an end to al! hopes of farther attention to th©
dramatic representations. O. .P.'s and- men 'lll,B
white caps appeared in great strength, and all It
rage of war4tre was. then the order of the night. 7-,e
is difficult to conceive the, meaning of these VW' •
caps,. if they have any meaning beyond that of CS"
citing ludicrous, feelings, and thereby promoting the,
general disturbance. Several piacards were exhibiy',
ed, but mostly of the old kind, except whet had
reference to the recent trial, and the following''
stanza, which certainly cannot be considered 05 3.
'specinien of wit and humour of the party, any mate
than of its regard to decorum:

If not, d—n my blood.
As-the Pit, which, being the chief scene of actions
is avoided, except by the. Belligerent Powers:, r
but thinly attended, the oppo6ition had greate
room for their freaks, and one of the most wills"
sical was the appearance of soine'men in white craps'
in the middle.of a ring formed on purpose to (--'"
hibit them to more advantage. They looked, hovu'•,
ever, exactly like culprits - waiting for execution..-""
The usual groans,. cheers,; dancing, and singing, ,
having taken place, with the usual fort-flaky, the
crowd left the Theatre in formidable detachments.

THE LYCEUM.—The Castle Speare was sere:.

"It is with extreme pain the General. has heard.
