Music.--The Vocal Subscription Concerts, under
the direction of the KNYVETTS and the VAuou4Ns,
were resumed last night. The lust ad consisted of
the fist part of Le Aoz;e di Figaro, composed by
MOZART. The overture was rapturously encored,
a circumstance unusual at Concerts, and the piece
itself was so well supported by the performers in
general, as to obtain great applause, particularly the
duet " Crudel perche
.finora." The general recep-
tion of this a& indeed, was even more favourable
than that of Don Juan. The second aet was mis-
cellaneous. SPOFFORTH'S glee "laTk'd you her
eye," was beautifully sung. An Irish air, har-
monized by Mr. WILLIAM KNYVETT, was much
applauded and encored. •A Concertante of Back!
was one of the most prominent merits of the
evening. The two. KNYVETTS particularly dis-
tinguished theMselves in a duet which,' for the cor-
reaness and the harmony of their powers was highly
admired. The room had a crowded and fashionable
attendance. The Archbishop of .YOR x, Lady ANN
VERNON and family, Lord and Lady YERNoN, Lords
FORTESCUE, andMobwr EDGECUMEE, Lord DERBY
and Countess, Ladies LENNARU, CAVE, HALES, &c.
BUONAPARTE, in his answer to a servile address,
rays, he is ready to. undertake any thing that may
enable him to " insure the triumph of France over
the hatred of England."—Now all his miserable
subjects, and indeed all the world must see,. that
next to his ambition, his great motive of anion is
his own hatred of England, to indulge which he
is sacrificing the population of France, overturning
the Government of other countries, and insulting
those whom he has not been able to subdue.

A Gentleman, recently arrived from Paris, states,
that BIJONAPARTE'S appearance has, for some time
past, presented symptoms of a great decline of
health. His legs are evidently much swel:ed ; and
from this fa& the Parisians draw the most unfa-
vourable conclusion.

It is reported, that a forgery of considerable mag-
nitude has been discovered to have been committed
at the Bank. A Lady who had called for her divi-
dends on 40,000 i. was told, that only 17,0001. were
standing in her name. In'tracing the cause of the
deficiency, it is said that a forged power of attorney
has been discovered, but the delinquent has not yet
been deteeled. The loss falls on the Bank. •

Mr. EwEns, the Messenger, arrived this day in
town, from Cadiz, but he brings nothing but what
has been anticipated by dispatches of a subsequent
date.
