•LIAYmARkEt.—The Heir at Law, one of Mr.
CoLmAN'S best Comedies, (no • faint. praise) woi.
last night represented at this Theatre.--Mr.
TERRY, on account of the continued indispositimi
of Mr. MATHEWS, took the part of Doctor Pan-,
gloss,, and, tar from being disposed to think that
hewanted iris comica, we were surprised that an
Actor, who appears to so much advantage in the
gravel province of the Drama, and who recently •
'acquitted himself very ably in Hotspur, should
have made so successful an effort in a part so very.
different. There was a grotesque • humour in his •
Panglass," particularly 'towards the bitter pints;
when he loses all hope of his respective salaries,
that excited great .applause.
THE LYCEum.:—The new Drama of Frederick
the- Great, which- we find is not a translation; but
the work of Mr. Afi NQLD, was represented again
last night; and very well received by an audience
•that fully occupied the Theatre. It !has- be n•
shortened in a small degree, and eve conceive that
-the observations on military discipline may well be
abridged.

Adviceslpth Malta, to the date Of the 2d nit:
contain
.accounts from itlyrna to the end of June.
At the latter place the plague raged with unabated
violence, and the medical practitioners did not
anticipate its disappearance until after the inid,tle
of August. trot') Malta we Inie the pleasine,
notice, that both there and at Gozo perfect he.mrt!i
was restored,' and so complete was the aSSUratitV
of its continuance, that preparations were nmat,iti;
on the sth of July to grant-,-Bilis.of llealth; and to
issue a Proclamation in the usual form, of the
total extirpation of the malady: NVe also•nntler-
stand, that on accounCof the new relations of
Malta, under the changes that have taken place
in the Mediterranean, some commercial
tions are to be for Med from authority, which it is
presumed will be materially beneficial to the
Island. Not only Corfu, but all the lonian islands
were occupied by British troops, and much inte-
rest was attached to the future 'approbation_ of
these Colonies. The conveyance of the letter:3
was by sea to Leghorn, and from thence over land
• through ];ranee.
Lord GAMBIER, and the other Commissioners
who are •to negociate on part of our Government
at Ghent, have sailed for Ostend-in the Olympia
sloop.
Time American • Commissioners, it is swiposed,
will endeavour strongly, at the meeting at Ghent,
to obtain the right of fishing at Newfoundland.
We think it will be difficult for theta to sheiv why
any new right of any _kind should be conceded to
them. The Americans .before possessed the fiL.
betty of .fishing on the coast of Newfoundland,
and in the Gulphof St. Lawrence ; but the liberty
to dry or cure their fish in any of his Majesty's
American dominions was•not allowed them: and
what has America done, either to wrest from its
by force, or allure by. kindness, greater rights or
privileges than those which she before enjoyed ?
NAPOLEON has not, it would .appear, given up
all hope of return : one of the Generals who ac-
companied him, asked him if lie entertained any
such thought, and he 'answered, Louis XIVIIL
lived twenty-two years in a foreign land.
Madame GRASSINI, according to report, when
the Opera season closes, means to retire to SO.-
SEX. -

The " UNCLE" of the Party, so eligiitle to a-
stitne the paternal Antics, and, in preference to.at
Father, undertake the supeilntendance of the con-
duct of an innocent young Female, has left IL:-
ling for Grass: we.hate foreign terminations, koil
will therefore add neither ton nor iai !

Pitz..gr

Mr. BETTY, it is
,said, has resolved to .withtira‘v
wholly from the stage, on account of the 1054 of.
his only sister.
sir GODFREY WEBSTER, Bart. M. P. far-the.
County of Sussex, will shortly lead Miss An.Qt.'
sow, of Hill-street, Berkel4-square, to the altar.
Were any offence to-be committed in the event-
of the ascension of a: Lady and Gentleman with It
balloon to the clouds, it has been said that a ;URl-
culty might arise as to the venue; but tliis is a
foolish objection. The venue might be la:d in
4yr-shire.
THE GENERAL CONGRESS.--The assembling of
the General Congress at Vienna, is rtbs, -tinder-
stood to be finally ,fixed for the Ist of Ocrribtr,
but a Congress of a very interesting nature is tc)
be held precisely one month sooner in London;ii
on the Ist of September Fortune assembles irOr
Ministers fof the distribution of Prizes, to enable
thousands either to visit the Continent in Octo.,
ber, or to live at home much ►nore Cheerfully`..
,than they can at present. This is, in fact, the
lucky season to purehats Tickets-elad Shares;
