GIBRALTAR, OCT. 18.

BY the Medusa Frigate, Capt. GORE, which ar-
rived here yesterday from Malta in twenty-one
days, we learn that zOOO Neapolitan Troops had
arrived there, who were doing duty on the opposite
side of the harbour from the British.

A Grand Master had at last been appointed, who
is an Italian Nobleman now in England, and the
evacuation of the Island by our Troops will proba-
bly be delayed till his arrival..
The Transports had sailed from Malta for Alex-
andria, to bring away the whole of our Troops now
in Egypt, and they were expeded at Malta by the
z oth of November.

The Medusa fell in with our Squadron which
sailed hence on the 6th, off Carthagena, all well.—
Sir RICHARD BICKERTON had received orders to
remain in the Mediterranean with the whole of his
Fleet, after Malta was evacuated ; a measure high-
ly politic in the present situation of affairs, as
without a Naval Force sufficient to keep the Tou-
lon Fleet in check, the French might easily make
themselves again masters of both Malta and Egypt,
the moment we have evacuated them, as we should
then have nothing to depend upon but the good faith
of BONAPARTE. •

OCTOBER i 9 American Frigate has been
cruizing in the Bay these three weeks, blocking up
one of the Corsairs belonging to Tripoli, which is
now ready for sea, and which has been lying for
some time in the new Mole.

A considerable degree of alarm prevails here
amongst the Captains of British Merchant Ships,
going up the Mediterranean, that the DEY of AL-
GIERS, according to his former threats, will, after
the 25th of November; seize all British Vessels
that have not new Mediterranean passes, none of
which have as yet- arrived from England.
When Sir ROBERT BAR LOW, in the Superb, went
to Algiers about four months ago, to demand some
Vessels the Algerines had taken, owing to their not
having proper Passes to distinguish between a
square-rigged Vessel anti a Latine or sloop-rigged
Vessel, the DEY then told him in a violent rage,
that if in five months time our Government did not
furnish different out-passes, to discriminate between
them, he would, at the end of five months, declare
War against Britain ; and the last accounts from
Algiers state, that he still persisted in his
.deter-
mination of so doing. Surely after the example set
us by the French of humbling these Barbarians, we
shall not suffer ourselves to be bullied into their
terms.

The only Men of War here are the Aaive, Me-
dusa, and Entreprenant Cutter, which sails for Eng_
land the first fair wind.

The Garrison are all extremely healthy, and be-
have remarkably orderly and quiet on every occasion.

Captain EDWARD CHAPMAN BRADFORD, of the
Admiral Gardner, and Captain GEORGE Goucx,
of the Sir Stephen Lushington, for Coast and Bay,
were yesterday sworn into the Command of their
respedive Ships before the Court of Directors.
The undermentioned Extra Ships were thus sta-
tioned, viz. _ _

New Ship, building by Mr. WILLIAMS, Sr. He-
lena arid Bengal.
The Harriet,—Coast and Bay.
New Ship, building by Messrs. TAYLoR and
Co. Bombay.

New Ship, building by Mr. WOQLMORE, St.
Heiena and Bombay.

New Ship, building by Mr. HAM I uro x, Madras.
The Earl Howe was t; ken up for Coast and Bay.
The Court adjourned at six o'clock till Wedos-
day next.

We are informed that the Bank have it in contem-
plation to issue Bank Notes of 31. value, when those
ofa less description are called in.
A Bill will be brought into Parliament to regu-
late the management of the Poor's-rates. A qualifi-
cation is to be required in the Overseers.
Tuesday morning the King's Hounds killed two
hares, and a third was taken up alive, quite spent,
in a Gardener's ground at Maidenhead. TI ley
had a great run with all of them.
There are at present thirty young Russian Gen-
tlemen in England, seleded by the EMPEROR to
receive their Naval Education in our service.

A Conipany has been established in Hungary,
under the title of the Northern Commercial Com-
pany, for the purpose of extending the Trade in
the 'Wines of that Country . with the North of
Europe.

NAPOLEONE BONAPARTE and his brother Lu-
c lEN, are again friends. The reconciliation was
mediated between them by JOSEPH.

Hanover is now allowed to be one of the most
flourishing, and unquestionably, the best govern-
ed part of Germany. The mild spirit of the Bri-
tish Constitution diffuses its influence over the
Government : it has suffered very little by the
War, or its occupation by the Prussian Troops—
and the opulence of its Sovereign, exempts him from
the necessity of making those increased demands
for Revenue, that are so harrassing to other parts
of the Empire, and the Continent in general.
We hear from Bombay, that the defeat of the
JEYPORE RAJAH by DOWLUT ROW SCINDEAH,
is attributed to the judicious condud of Major
POLHMAN, who held a command in the Prince's
Army. At a critical moment he formed into a
square his six Battalions, of which his Brigade con-
sisted, prevented the Enemy's Cavalry from sur-
rounding them, which was attempted without suc-
cess, and the Brigade, by an incessant and well-
dire&ed Ore of the Artillery, finally succeeded in
coming to close aftion, and putting to rout the vast
Army of the RAJAH) consisting of 65;oot)o men,

THE THEATRE.

Druty-Lane.
RULE A WIFE AND HAVE A WIFE.

THIS excellent Old Comedy was so well-suP•
ported by the performers, that it deserved also the
support of the Public, which it received last night
in a numerous audience.
POPE, for the first time, took the part of Leon
at this Theatre, and he performed it with dignity,
feeling, and manly spirit. In the earlitr scenes, he
did not, perhaps, exhibit with sufficient discrimina'
tion and effe&,•the pretended simplicity, the shrewd'
ness, and the determined energy of the part ; hut,
upon the whole, his performance was very respect-
able.
BANNISTE‘ is. much more easy and sportive in
the Copper Captain than heretofore, and give"
more ludicrous colouring to his mortifying disq-
',ointments.
Est;funia, in the hands of Mrs. JORDAN, was
admirably spirited and humorous. The part is Pe-
cuiiarly suited to her free, bold, animated coolie
talents, and she exerted these talents last
with the most zealous adivity, highly to the gray'
fication of the audience.

i he representation was by no means improved by
the introduftion of DE CAMP in the part of TI"
Duke, which ought to have been allotted to 1"1"
MOND Or CHARLES KEMBLE.
Mrs. POWELL is a very good Margaretta. 5"
displayed skill and feeling in pourtraying the va's,
riot's emotions of the part, through the vo,uptuons'
gaiety which induces her to seek a cover for her
vices in the shadow of a husband, the lofty in!n7,
lence of a wife resolved to command her nor:
rage and indignation on finding that she had been
deceived, and her final conviClion of the merit, an,'
sincere resignation to the authority of her husband'

The Man of the World is so powerfully recoil"'
mended by CooLE's Sir Pertinax M`,s).caphaaty
that though it is but a heavy play, it is reilderedl
very attractive by his excellent performance of that:
charaEler. He drew a numerous audience last night:
to Covent-Garden Theatre, and received the most
flattering marks of general approbation.
A new Entertainment is announced at Covent''
Garden Theatre, entitled a Melo-drame. The
word is strange to our language, and requires e%'
planation. In Italy and France, wherever MUSTC
without Recitative is introduced to enforce passil
it is called Melo_drame ; as in the Pygmalion °
ROUSSEAU. But the term is still more common ;i)
d
Dramas of a mixed kind, in which are freque"t'i
found Tragedy, Comedy, Farce, and Pantomime'
with Singing, Dancing, and Combating. Such
species of exhibition seems admirably calculated 9
After-pieces, in which we rather Geek plea ure
entertainment than pay attention to rule. jndted
the best of all possible rule is to give high, yet 11#
tional pleasure.

lately caught a Crow, which he shut up in a On'lle
and with which he sometimes amused hitnelf-i.
day he went out into the fields with his Wire,i- $
some of his children, and left his youngest chl'rfie
girl about six months old, in a cradle, in the 'lie

dreadful manner. On going into the room, she soy,
the child's face shockingly mangled, and the cr---0
near her, eating pieces of her flesh. One of her lie
was picked our, and the other much injured' to
tongue eaten away to the root, and her lips ortfolp
pieces : the infant is not dead, but it is doub
whether it can survive.
