IFIADSOR, JAN. 11.

to vas Earl Wrbrcitit.sEA *ho arrived yesterday,
and not Earl AYLESFORD; hOweverolie Noble Earl
arrived this day, at twelve o'clOck, in his carriage
and four, accompanied by the Duke of MONTROSE,
BA the Archbishops of CANTERBURY and YORK, at
the QUEEN'S Lodge, where Doctors Sir HENRY
HALFORD, HEBCRDEN, BAILLIE, and R. 'WILLIS,
were in waiting to receive them, and made their
weekly Report to the Members of the Council, and,
after holding a consultation, the Members of the
Council walked to the Castle, and held a Council
with the QUEEN. Dr. Jowl WILLIS was absent
upon this occision. Atter the consultation, at the
Lodge, Sir HENRY HALFORD and Dr. HEBERDEN
set off for London.

The cause of the Earl of WTNCHILSEA coming
here yesterday, was by desire of Ministers, as the
KING'S Groom of the Stole, to examine the KING
and QUEEN'S Household, as to the nature of their
different employments, and the emoluments arising
therefrom, previous to its being finally arranged as
to their MAJESTIES' and the PRINCE REGENT'S
Household.

The KING has lately paid more attention to him-
self and dress than he had done for some time past,
and gave orders for a new blue coat, and has wore
it within these few days.
JANUARY le.-The Members of the QUEEN'S
Council left Windsor, yesterday, about half-past
three o'clock.

This day, at twelve o'clock, the QUEEN and
PRINCESSES rode in her MAJESTY'S cirtia4e ►o
Frogatoie, and returned to ►he Castle at half-past
two.

THE THEATRE.—The Foundling of the Forest, a
:)lay of extreme improbability, but containing a
strong dramatic interest, was represented on Satur-
day last at Covent-Garden Theatre, and attracted a
very nurn2rous audience. The part of Eugenia,
originally represented at the Haymarket Theatre by
MIS. GLOVER, was on this occasion supported with
great energy by Miss SMITH, who very skilfully
exhibited the alternations of reason and insar ity,
and excited much applause. The charaCler of the
Count de Valmont was well supported by YOUNG.
It is a character that requires great exertion, and is
very interesting in itself ; it lost none of its quality
in the hands of this Performer.

• MIS.•STEPHEN KEMBLE has wholly withdrawn
from the Stag,-, though she has had many tempting
offers frotn Provincial Managers to induce her to
return to This Performer atrurds another in-
stauce to excite regret that Actors cannot transmit
a model of their po,wrrs, for in point of genuine
simplicity and unatfeaed pathos, she had never a
sui‘etior upon the English Stage.
The decreased merit of a certain Northern vehi-
cle of malignity, under the pretence of Criticism, is
imputed, in ta German Journal, so the secession of
Messrs. HORNER uud BROUGHAM,# who, according
to report, were the warn ermines of the work when
it first burst upon the public, and excited surprise
and indignation by the boldness and severity of its
comments.

BOON APARTE, by ordering the suppression of the
Convent of La Trappe, of which perpetual silence
was one of the religious duties, has only added to the
number of talkers against his eoormities, and !here
were sureiy enough before to speak against him,
wherever the tongues of men are not restrained by
the dread of his vengeance.
The crkbrated Hottentot Venus, it seems, is on a
provincial ramble, in order to submit her beauties
to rustic admiration. She is at present at Don-
caster.

It is highly gratifying to see that Government
have recently devoted their particuiar attention to-
wards the hosts of ALIENS now in this country,
whose numt:er amounts to an alarming extent.—A
very intelligent correspondent, who h.,s resided some
time in Spain, and is well acquainted with the
affairs of list country, assures us that our Rulers
ought to be particularly warned against the Spa-
niards who come among us, many of whom, he
confidently declares, are in the„interest of the Cut -
my, 'lnd anxious to bow their country into his
hands. This correspondent speaks in the highest
terms of the Spanish people themselves, and ex-
presses his decided conviaion, that whatever towns
BLYONAPARTE may take, and however, to use the
Opposition phrase, he may obtain " military pos-
session" of the country, it will be absolutely
impossible to reduce them beneath the Cor-
sican yoke. Indeed their detestation of the French,
which is hereditary, and rooted in the Spanish
heart, independ,ntly of their rage, on a count
of the atrocities of the Tyrant, would alone induce

them to strain every nerve, and make any sacrifice
rather than submit to the usurpation of a people
whom they hold in the utmost abhortence. Yet
among those no,ble patriotic Spaniards, there are
some political pat ticidt:s who have sold themselves
to a furious enemy, and are endeavouring to
reduce their country to bondage. Some of these
wretches have found means to obtrude into this
country, and we fear that even the Duke D'INFAN-
TADO is not sufficiently conversant with their cha-
racters to be able effedivally to detect and as;ist in
their expulsion. But from the increased vigilance
on the part of G vernment as to Foreigners in gene-
ral, we trust that all due inquiry will be made, and
none suffered to remain among us who cannot give
the most satisfactory proofs in favour of their charac-
ter and conduct. These are critical times, and the
interests of the British Empire are too important -a
stake to be put into the least hazard, when we know

that a crafty, and ferocious foe, and who unhappily
possesses more power than any of our former enemies
ever obtained, is bent on our destruClion,andwould not
best tate at any means that the most wickt-d ima-
gination, backed by a strength truly formidable.,
could put in • plattice, to effeCt an object that forms,
if not the ultimate scope of his ambition, yet the
favour'te wish ot his heart.

The remains of the late Mr. DINIOND, Manager
and Proplietor of the Bath Theatre, were deposited
on Thursday last_ in the Abbey Church of thaf,city.
A large crowd of speetators attended on the melan-
choly' occasion, and; by their unaffected grief,
bore testimony to the distinguished worth of the de-
ceased. Mr. DIMOND was in the fifty seventh year
of his age. He was highly esteemed for good sense,
.a benevolent disposition; and the gentlemanly urba-
nity of his mannerg,

Last night, about ten o'clock) as the female ser=
vant of Mr. PRYOR-, a boot and shoe maker on Sr.
Morgarees-bill, in the Borough, was entering the
shop from the kitchen, she descried a man in the
shop with a crape over his face, packing up her mas-
ter's goodi. The girl immediately .gave a loud
scream, upon which the villain made at her wiih a
knife, end attempted to clit her throat. Het
screams brought do'n her master) but the
villain had made his escape by the shop-door,
without carrying off his booty. The floor was
strewed with packages; ready to he carried 4.ff, The
girl was found by her mastt-r bleeding on the floor,
but her life is not considered to be in danger. She
thinks she saw five men when she first entered tht‘
shop.
