EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HARWICH, APRIL 16.
Passengers who have reached this country
by the last arrivals report, that the Northern
Powers of Etirope are using their best efforts in
the Common Cause. The Russian forces are ad-
vancing with the- utmost expedition. Waggons
and vehicles of every description are put in re-
quisition for their ccnveyance, and their inclina-
tions are not to tarry. It is confidently asserted
that the Prussians had passed through Landau,
and after a severe conflict with the French, in
which they lost 7000 men, had possessed them-
selves of the strong fortress of Strasburgh, on the
Lower Rhine. The departure of tile post will
not admit of my' ascertaining further particulars,
or what degree of credit is to be attached to this
report ; but 1 have it from a respectable channel,
and it is certain that the best disposition prevails,
and that every exertion will be used to crush the
power of the remorseless Tyrant.

Circular orders were issued on Saturday last,
for recruiting for the disembodied Militia by beat

of drum.

There is no trdth whatever in the miserable
anecdote forced by C/ootz into the Parliamentary
Debate of Prida, respecting Prince PLATOFF'S
celebrated horse. It is at Hampton Court, and
among the most favoured animals of our Prince's
fine stud. What a contemptible endeavour to hurt
the feelings of the PRINCE REGENT, it d injure
his Royal Highness and the Country in the esti.
illation of fore►gners ? The man's heart must be
festering with animosity who could descend.thus
low.

THE THEATRE.—The cordial manner in which
Mr. KEMBLE was received on Saturday last, on
his return to Covent-Garden Theatre, was cre-
ditable to the Public, as well as honourable to
himself. Nothing could be more ardent than the
universal and reiterated applause that welcomed
his entrance. He received this gratifying testi-
mony of public esteem and admiration with the
strongest marks of respectful gratitude ; and by
his subsequent performance of The Stranger,
fully rewarded the audience for their kindness.
Miss O'NIELL is always so attentive to her
duty that we will not say she exerted her-
self with more zeal on this occasion, but we
doubt not that she must have derived addi-
tional pleasure from the applause which she re-
ceived in partaking it with the first actor of the
age. We protested against the immoral tendency
of the play on its first representation, and we are
convinced that it is never performed without some
injurious operation, in spreading a varnish of sen-
timent over guilt, and exciting a compassionate in-
terest in favour of adultery.
DEATIL OF MR. HENRY,SIDDONS.---We are sin-
cerely concerned that we have to announce the
death of this Gentleman. The melancholy event
happened on Wednesday last at Edinburgh'. His
disorder was water in the chest.--As an Actor, if
not in the first line of excellence, he was always
judicious, and manifested strong feeling, as well
as a critical knowledge of his author. He pos-
sessed literary talents which have often contri-
buted to public gratification in novelty, plays, and
poetical effusions. When our great Actress, Mrs.
SIDDoNs, first burst forth on the London stage
with a blaze of excellence that probably never
will be equalled by any other Actress, the Gen-
tleman whom we now mention performed the
part of her child in the Tragedy of Isabella. He
was some years at the Charter House, and was
intended for the Church ; but a strong hereditary
attachment induced him to devote himself to
the Stage, He was the Patentee and Manager
of the Edinburgh Stage. He possessed a charac-
ter in private life of the most amiable nature, and
was held in high anti merited esteem by all con
netted with him in business and in friendship,
