FALMOUTH, OCT. 1 1.-It has blown a constant
gale of wind at E. and S.S.E. for these six days past;
o that there have been no arrivals or sailings.

The ship .fosepli and Plicele, A. M'CowKtru.,
:Master, arrived at Cork on the .sth ,instant, from
New York ; she cleared out and sailed on the I ith
ult. one day previous to the Non-Intercourse A&.
No treaty, we are happy to find, had been entered
into between France and America at the above
date, but it was generally supposed that an amicable
understanding would shortly take place. The
Joseph and Phcebe left two British packets at New
York,• one of -which was to sail in a few days after,
by which we may expea to receive some interest-
ing intelligence, Mr. JACKSON'S arrival in America
being daily and anxiously • looked for.—(Derry
Journal.) •. _
We have heard- with great satisfaaion, that the
Rev. GERARD ANDREWS, Rector of the parish of St.
James, Westminster, is to succeed Dr. Powys, as
Dean of Canterbury. . .

The following Letter, which affords a specimen
of the arrogant style of the French Generals, was
lately sent by the Duke Of AUERSTADT,tO the ao-
vernor of Brnnn

" SlR,—Not without astonishment I read in a
Supplement to No. 58 of die Gazette of Briton, the
calling in of all subjects absent and-fit tor war in the
Lordship Of Samftitz. Had this publication been
made with 4,,.sign, the author would certainly have
become guilty of a crime against the French army.
I will, for this time, inquire no farther into the bu-
siness, and use indulgence ; but to corred idle no-
tions, and-render uselesS all excuses that might here-
after be made on similar occasions,,l inform-you,' as
well as all Civil Magistrates and inhabitants of the
countries occupied by the French armies, that every

army with men, pro-
one who supplies the
Visions, ammunition, or arms; farther, every one
who carries on a suspicious correspondence with it,
or conceals arms or stores of ammunition or provi-
sinus belonging to it, or fails to announce it to the
French FunEtionaries ; • as well as all Magistrates and
Citizens who dare to publish orders issued by the
Austrian Government, shall be considered as traitors
to the French army, and treated accordingly."

Little mindful of the progress of the negociations,
or rather expe&ing they would :end in peace, the
brave Tyroleans have been actively employed during
the Armistice in adopting every measure that may
enable them to carry on the contest alone ;
,for, to
that determination they have come. Whatever fa-
cility for vigorous defence their country, mountain-
ous and rocky,'affords, they have diligently availed
themselves of—they exped no external aid—they
know themselves to be paced in the midst of ene-
mies—they consider themselves as " peaitus toto
divisos or be"—they stand in the midst of Creation,.
in the heart of the Continent—a solitary rock, to
which Freedom has fled, as a asylum, as a last
stand., Sorne opinion may be for Med of the noble
ardour and resolution that.antinate them, from the
accounts giten in the French Papers, which say,
that 44 the Tyroleans seem to have the intention of
converting the whole of their country into a fortress;
for which purpose they not only fortify all the
passes, but also bore holes in the rocks, and fill
them with powder, that in case of an attack they
may be able to hurl large masses of rock into the
valhes."

We have received Spanish Papers of almost every
description, detailing the operations of the Patriots,
from the northern shores of the Ebro to the southern
base of the Pyrenian barriers. It is remarkable, that
although the French have been so long in complete
possession of the road from the foot of these moun-
tains to Madrid, they have not yet conquered the in-
habitants of the Pyrenees. The enemy is exposed
to continual molestation from those valiant borderers,
and some of the most interesting papers among these
documents respe& the conflias in the vast intersec,
tions and sinuosities of those wild and inhospitable
regions.

Marshal VERHEUIt has been appointed to the
chief command of the flotilla in the Meuse and the
Sea of Zealand, in the room of Admirl Da WINTER,
who commands on the Helder and in the Zuyder
Zee.

Last week exhibited all the prognostics of a long
and [severe winter on the coast of Cornwall. The
first flight of woodcocks, which usually visited it in
November, are already arrived. There have been
several sold in Truro market ; and in the eastern
parts of Cornwall, we are informed they have be-
Fume plentiful.' The easterly gale has already brought
starlings, snipes, wild ducks, and widgeons :
flocks of the latter have been observed on the
FalMouth and Truro rivers yet the swtqlows have
nut autir'elY disappeared. •

COVEAT-GARDEIV TI7EATIZE.

The aspect of affairs at this Theatre last night
was of so serious a natures as to preclude all hope

that the differences will be settled between the

Public and the Proprietors, %without a surrender on
the part of the latter.
The play was J?icnard the Third. The usual
tumult began much earlier than on the admission

of the half-price vi,itors. The adversaries of the
Proprietors were more numerous than before, and

during the performance so great a degree of violence
prevailed, that the cry of " Tear up the Pit !"---
" Break down the doors !" was heard in many

parts. The opponents, however, did not resort to
such extremities. When the half-price visitors
made their appearance, the storm increased:ten-fold,

and the mingled din exceeded every thing that had
been previously heard, except when the horns,

rattles, &c. &c. &c. animated the contest. Whent
Mr. C. KEMBLE entered as Richmond, he-was re-
ceived with the most vehement marks of displeasure,
and this displeasure was renewed with equal force
whenever he appeared. A Lady in one of the
Boxes, notwithstanding all this excess of popular
fury, had the courage to tear one of the Placards
in pieces as soon as it reached her hand. The
audience evinced the highest indignation, and
ed their vengeance towards her during the time she
continued in the 'Theatre, but without offering any
more a&ive violence.

As this is so extraordinary an event; we deem it
our duty to submit the
.whole to such "of our readers
as have no opportunity of witnessing it, and there-
fore subjoin most of the effusions of popular hostility '
which were held up, and circulated through the.
Thbatre. In the lower Boxes two Gentlemen ar
peared with letters 0. P. (Old Prices) cut in white •
pasteboard, fixed on the front of their bats, and
they were received with shouts of applause. On th°
front of one of the side; Boxes appeared the folloyt°
ing lines :
" King John, of old, by sturdy Barons awki,
Our British rights in Magna Chartasignid ;
To stage•crown d John, in insolence and fraud,
Shall our Dramatic rights be now resigii'd ? 1
6' From British favour has the pseudo Kiss •
His tame, his.wealth, his impudence derived;
By British spirit let this empty thin
Of all his borrow.'d leathers be deprived."
. Two Gentlethen:..in the next, box, in vihosf
guardianship was a numerous party: of ladies, then
pinned a placard, the following' effect, to the
front of the boxt!s; which was throwa from tbc/
pit :---
" HERE LIES THE BODY. OF OLD PRICEP, (a cof6tk
being ludicr-Cully deniatetj);DtE3 0C14.. 1809."

This was p,..ccetvedby several friends of the house,
and a coalition immediately took place amongst ibt?
Bow-street Officers, in order to apprehend the of-
fenders. A dreadful attack was made on the strong',
' hold of the'enetny, and a battle royal ensued, whirl}
lasted for several minutes, to the great terror of seD
veral fashionable pirties of females in' the neigh
bouring boxes. ' The friends',-.oi the Qpposiiiclisi4
rallied and repelled the attack with determined c3'
lour; but at length finding that there was sotl',,°
! chance of being eventually forced, on surrerideir'

! council of . war was held, and in complihnec .with
frequent advice of their allies in the pit, a ietra'
was reseal/ad ORS-,acid the farce ,of- the •e,sl,:s WAS
• most.admirably:performed by the offending parii°4-
whascrambled•down the pillars with the loss of 911°
of. their coat skirts, and were received with reiterat°
ed shouts of applause by their partisans beows
which was re-echoed with redoubled force throgh:
out the house. On the admission of the attacking,
party to the box, a burst of laughter convulsed" the)
audience, in witnessing their disappointment. Tl',.-,,
retreating party, in the interim, mixed in the tkrang,
and were soon indistinguishable from amongst.-ob°
motley crew.
... , ,_..
The following inscriptions
.appeared in, various
parts :

" By ruffian Jews assaulted,
By Managers scorned,
By thief-takers ill-treated,
Yet lons- BULL will not be subdued.",
" In spite of thief•taker and jew
Or Magisterial power,
If but to themselves the public are true.
Their prices they nu.l4 lower."

"Kemble v, bull LOti tam." '

The Farce of the Farmer shared the sane fate 0
the after-pieces on aii former nigins, the ruAjority ,
the people beitAg the only audible pertorhiers,'anj
the termination of the piece, the attention of
audience again reverted to their own 'boo,, one °`
whom,-a Midshipman in ti.e Pit, addressed thew, in
the true Jack Tar Stile D—n my eyes, nay
lads (said he) if you'll only stick to one- anothet
like jolly dogs, and we once come within grApplings,
of that fair-weather Jack (Mr. KEMB LE), I'll be d----‘`
if we don't bring hint to book. _ All I can say, 11.,

success ; and it we can't do it amongst ourselves be'
low here, me, we'll have sortie of our cotta'
rades from alyi (looking toteuris the gallery), a[P
then see who has a right to wIA the quarter-deck:.
This blunt oration was received with the alosl
marked gratification, and peals of applause resound
for several minutes.

But the composition which chiefly attra&ed at-
tention, was the following. mock play-bill, which
excited thunders of applause from all parts of th°
Theatre
