THE Comedy of The Way-to Keep Him was last

-1(IN is perhaps a little too much in the wane of
,I,C€ for the gallant Mr. Lovemore, but he played
had
with so much spirit, that the Public
'bail 'full reason to be satisfied. Sir Brilliant
rdsbion sat much more easy upon C. KEMBLE than
expefted.
We have seldom seen BANN:mit so much to
advantage in what may be called legitimate Co.
ale
as he was last night in Sir Bask/id Constant.
ale seemed to enter fully into the character, and
axhibited, with ,very diverting effeet, the strug-
ales of conjugal affettion under the veil of auk_
ward timidity.
,Mrs. joaDAN was all spirit and gaiety in The
krido,u, Belatour, and sung an air with her own
Accompaniment on the Guitar in so pleasing a
style, that it was universally encored.
Mrs. POPE in the earlier scenes of the Play gave
'Jr.% Lovemore with an interesting expression of
disappointed tenderness. In the last scene she was
tot so successful. Her gaiety seemed much too
tonstrained even for the supposed latent anxiety of
part, and her voice was peculiarly harsh and
ttlasculine when she afretled to mimic Mr. LOvemore.
MISS MELLON gave all requisite support to the
part of Ladj Constant, and Miss POPE'S Muslin
was throughout excellent in point of easy and
natural humour.

This Play is so different from the dashing extrava.
ance of modern Comedy, that it might be expeCted
-to come tamely off in comparison. It is, however,
ao well construaed, so agreeably diversified in its
tharaeters, and so very well supported in the re.
Presentation, that revival will probably be of
advantage to the Theatre.

There was so numerous an audience at the re_
presentation of The Cabinet last night at Covent_
Garden Theatre, that the Piece will probably not
be laid aside, as was intended. BaAnAut is indeed
,ilmost exquisite singer. Several of his songs were
eitetired, and as usual on each repetition he gave
them with increased excellence.

After the representation of The Merry Wives
1.1- Windsor on Saturday last, the Manager of Drury_
".ane Theatre made an offer of a new engagement
,!° STEPHEN KEMBLE. The necessity which the
latter was under to keep his promise with the Ma-
rlagers of the Theatres at Gosport and Bath and
-uristol, would not allow him to accept of the new
engagement, till he has performed at these places.
1-le is to return to London, however, before he goes
Newcastle, and again exhibit the humours of
414/siajon the boards of Drury.
We are sorry to find that Mrs. SIDDONS has re_
Hewed her engagements with the Manager of the
ouub_lin Theatre for the season.

itATtSBON, OCT. 26.

THE Deptttation of the Empire has held to-day
its twentieth Sitting. The Minister has made the
communication of an Address from the Imperial
Plenipotentiary. After the perusal of this, the,Mi_
nister from Bohemia made, in the name of his august
Constituent, a declaration to the same eired. This
is the purport :

IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION FROM THE EMPE.

ItOlt.

" His imperial Majesty has been pleased to an-
nounce, by his Sub-delegate to the Deputation
Extraordinary of the Empire, that having, agree-
ably to his anxiety for, the maintenance of tran-
quillity, removed every obstacle which opposed
the success of his Negotiations at Paris, and
having taken for the basis of the conclusive ar-
rangement the Supplement of Indemnity offered by
the French Government itself, for His Royal High-
ness the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, His MAJESTY
hopes to see instantly established an amicable under-
standing, which will have for its immediate conse-
quence, the most satisladory regulation of the bu-
siness with which the Deputation is charged. Since
from the nature of this affair, His Imperial Majesty
must reserve to himself a final approbation, he
has no doubt but that the Co-estates which form a
part of the Deputation will content themselves with
this Preliminary Declaration, and will repose in him,
on that head the confidence which he thinks he me-
rits, after having given so many proofs of the since-
rity of his views, and the moderation of his senti-
ments."

The majority of the Deputation received this
Declaration with marks of the most lively interest.

For some time we have been speculating upon the
new conneetions that are on the point of being
formed between Austria and Russia. These specu-
lations are strengthened by the circumstance of the
Grand Duke's approaching visit to Vienna. It is
supposed he will pass the whole winter there—great
preparations have been made for his reception.

HAMBURGH, Ocr. 29.

Yesterday, at nine o'clock in the morning, a
general meeting of the Senate and principal Bur-
gesses of this City took place at the Town Hall,
and lasted till near six o'clock in the afternoon.
Meeting had, amongst other things under consi-
deration, the proposed cession of the rights, privi-
leges, and revenues which his BRITANNIC MAJESTY,
as Elector of Hanover, possesses in the Cathedral
of Hamburgh, its precints, and the dependencies
belonging to it on the Hamburgh territory. Some
Notes from the Regency of HANOVER, and from
the King of DENMARK,• in his'quality of Duke of
Holstein, against the Plan, were also taken into
consideration ; hut the result of the debates still
remains a profound secret.
By private letters from Vienna, of the zoth in.
stant, the Grand Duke CortsTANT-rint of Russia's
arrival in that Capital, was to take place on the
following day. Festive preparations, of the most
sumptuous and brilliant, kind are made in every
part of Vienna for that Prince's amusement. Amone
the Foreign Ministers, the British Ambassador takes
the lead.

Their IMPERIAL MAJESTI RS, the Grand Duke
Of TUSCANY, and the Archduke JOSEPH,
of Hungary, were preparing to go to meet their
August Visitor at the distance t.f one stage from
the Capital. A considerable camp is to bz collected
in the environs of Vienna for military evolutions
during-the Prince's stay.
The exchange of Couriers between Vienna and
Petersburgh becomes brisker every day, and the
dispatches received are reported to he of the utmost
political importance. At some Ministerial con.
ferences which lately took place, both the English
and Russian Ambassador assisted, but Citizen
CHAMPAGNY was not present.

The news of the death of the D4ie PARMA
has occasioned no small sensation at Vienna, and
some negotiations will, it is said, immedi.itely be
set on foot in favour of the Grand Duke of Tus.
CANY, which will be supported with the whole
influence of the Russian Cabinet. It is currently
reported, that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY is to
marry a Russian Princess.
A Gentleman of the Court has been sent as
Courier to the Archduke CHARLES, at Prague, to
induce his Royal Highness to hasten his return to
riellna, to be present at the festivities to be given
in honour of the Grand-Duke CONSTANTINE.

Advices from Petersburgh, of the rsth instant,
mention, that the Officer who invented the story
of a conspiracy against the life of ALEXANDER I.
and wounded himself with a pistol to give more
sanction to his wicked invention, has been tried by
an Imperial Special, Commission, which not only
found him guilty of the charges preferred against
him, but sentenced him to be -quartered alive by
four horses. This sentence, however, was too se-
vere for the humane feelings of the Emperor, who
.changed it into perpetual banishment.
In several parts of the Northern Continent of
Germany, and on the right bank of the Rhine,
large herds of bullocks are now purchased for the
English. market.

VIENNA, Ocr. 23.

THE Court Gazette of this day has the following
Article : " Yesterday His Imperial Highness the
Grand Duke CONSIANTI NE of Russia, arriired here
in perfe6t health."

From Bucharest we have received the unexpet_
ed intelligence, that Prince CONSTANTINE Suzzo
has been suddenly deprived of his office, and Prince
ALEXANDER Mtntust appointed his successor as
Huipodar of Moldavia.
His IMPERIAL MAJESTY has sent to Count
STAHREMBERG, his Ambassador at the Court of
London, the Order of the Golden Fleece, and made
a considerable augmentation to his Appointment.
Couriers are continually passing between Vienna,
London, and Perercburgh ; the subjcl of their dis-
patcly.:s is supposed to b the affairs of Germany,

LAW REPORT.

COURT OF KING's BENCH, Nov. a.

MONTPRIVAT V. ELMS.

MR; EasitiNE moved for a Rule to !hew Cause
why the verdiet obtained in this cause for the Plain_
tiff; for gol. damagesi should not be set aside and
a nonsuit entered.

This was an aftion for the quarter of a year's
annuity granted by the Defendant to the Plaintiff,
Upon an agteement made between them on the zoth
of May, iBOO. The Defendant, Mr. Charles Elms,
of Cecil-street in the Strand, Gentleman, agreed to
grant an annuity of 2001. per anntim, to a Lady
who had formerly lived with him, which annuity
was to continue during the term of her natural life.
This was tried before my Lord ELLENBUROUGH,
at Westminster, at the Sittings after last Term,
and it was a question left to the Jury ro decide—
whether they thought the annuity was granted with
a view of the Plaintiff continuing an illicit com-
merce and cohabitation with the Defendant, for if
so, it was such as the law would not recognize,
and therefore the Plaintiff could not recover upon
it; or, was given for past services alone, without
any such contemplation, in which case the law
would recognize it, and the Plaintiff could recover.
The Jury found, that it was for past services, and
therefore gave a verdi& for the Plaintiff, damages
col., being one quarter of a year's annuity. He
did not mean to find any fault with his Lordship's
diration in point of law in this case, for it was
most corral, nor with the finding of the Jury, for
it was their province to find as it appeared to then;
and as this was a dispute of a family nature, he
Advised his Client to stir no further in litigation
upon it, but to pay the money ; which advice, he
said, he would have taken, but that this Lady made
such demands upon him as that he could only put
an end to by taking this course, which was that of
objaling to this 'annuity in point of law, and
which he now availed himself of. The objedion
here was twofold, and either part was fatal to the
annuity. First, it was not duly registered; se-
condly, the consideration for the annuity was partly,
in household furniture, instead of a pecuniary con-
sideration, and that it was, therefore, rendered void
in this case. He took these ohjcaions at the trial,
and his Lordship saved the points.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said, that the question
here would be—Whether furniture was to he con-
sidered as the same thing as a pecuniary con-
sideration ?

Mr. ERSKINE said, it was as his stated
it, and whether this was to be considered as a vo-
luntary annuity or not ?
Rule to spew Cause granted.

MOILOAN v. MANSFIELD.

Mr. Serjeant :LEY moved for a Rtile to sliew
Cause why a new Trial should not be had in this
Case, on the ground of the Damages given being
excessive. It was an Affion for breaking down
the Plaintiff's Close, that was to say, the Plaintiff
possessed three Acres of Arable Land, and one Acre
of Meadow, in the County of Kent, and the De-
fendant removed a Gate which belonged to it, for
which the Jury were pleased to give tool. Damages,
upon no other ground than a Speech from Mr. GAR-
R Ow, who talked a great deal of and concerning John
Cator, Esq. whose Bailiff the Defendant was.

•
Mr. GARRow said, he should be glad if the
Counsel for the Defendant would accept a new Trial,
on the terms of allowing the Plaintiff to amend his
Declaration, and state his Damages higher, for the
Jury had given him soul. only, because there were
no more damages stated in the Declaration.

Lord ELI.CNBOROUGH said, that although Juries
were the only Judges of the quantum of Ddrnages,
yet, they ;vere to understand, they were to be
guided in finding them by the rules of Law ; and if
they had done wrong in one instance, it did not fol-
low that they were to be wrong in the second : the
Court would be better able to judge of the case after
hearing the Report of the Learned Judge, before
whom the cause was tried.
Rule to spew Cause granted.

Mr. SMITH moved for leave to file a Criminal In..
forrnation-against Richard Shipdem, Esq. Mayor
of Hy the, for an Assault and false Imprisonment of
Mr. Hull, a Gentleman, who stated in his Affida-
vit, That at the last Fdedion for Hy the, Mr. Ship_
dem was the Returning Officer : that the Borough
was contested by four Candidates : that he (Mr.
Hull) received information of gross Bribery being
carried on among the Voters, and that a person,
named in the Affidavit, who was confined in Dover
Castle, had his debt paid, on condition of his vot-
ing for one or the Candidates : that he, Mr. Hull,
determined to attend at the Eleaion, with a view
of declaring himself a Candidate, if this Debtor
from Dover Castle was admitted- as a Voter, and
this, Mr. Hull said, he determined to do in order
to enable himself to petition against the Elation,
&c. That the Elation came on at the Hall of the
Town of Hythe, and the Deponent went there, and
he saw about one hundred persons present :
That very soon after he came in he was per-
ceived by the Candidates, whose interest he came
to oppose, and who immediately turned round and
entered into a consultation, and whispered to the
returning Officer, upon which the returning Officer
immediately turned round to him, the Deponent,
and said, " Sir, are you a Voter P' To which he
answered, " No." The •returning Officer then
said, " you must withdraw, for by agreement be-
tween the four Candidates no person is to he pre-
sent at this Eleaion who is not a Voter." Mr.
Hull said " he should stay, and that he had a right
to be there, as an Elation was free and open."
The returning Officer turned round, and after a
whisper with the Candidates, said to the Deponent,
" ii you do not withdraw, I shall adjourn." The
Deponent insisted on his right to stay, and to see
the proceeding of the Election ; upon which, a
Constable, by order of the returning Officer, took
the Deponent into custody, and he was prevented
by force, from returning to the place of• Eleftion.
That while he was carried out, he was very much
insulted by the people in the interest of the Candi_
time he came to oppose. The Deponent added in
his Affidavit; that he was not under any disqualifi-
cation whatever to propose himself as a Candi.

• ,
hie at that Eleetion, fog which it" i thicicF
these circumstances, Mt. Sivurri submitted to
Court, that a criminal Information be filed against
this returning Offieet.
Lord ELLENBOROU6H asked, if this
man, on Whose behalf the application was
made, had offered himself as a Candidate belote
was taken out No."

His Lordship then said; that this Gentlerriai
was a mere stranger, who was turned out of a pl,o->6.
in which he had no business; so that, if it was any
thing, it would only amount to a commot assault,
and for which, the extraordinary interference of the
Court was not necessary. Besides, this Gentle_
man's insisting on staying at this plaCe, after'ad-
mitting he wat: not a Voter, and not havingt, de-
dated himself a Candidate, was wrong, anti !tti.
if persisted in, I“e obstru6ted the proceedings of
:he EleCtion ; for, if one man had a righri a thou-
sand had the right, by which the real Electors
might have been excluded. If this Gentle-man
thought hiMself aggrieved, he shoUld go before a
Grand jury with a of Indictment.
_ _

Mr. SMITH said, that the Gentleman against
whom he moved was the Mayor of the Borough of
Flythe, and that as that was one of the Cl,quc
Ports, he would have the charge of the Grand
Jury, and that in short, there Would be no chance
of finding a Bill of Indiament in this Case.
The Court said, that this was not a Case for
them to interfere in, at least until other remee
dies had been tried in vain, if indeed there war;
any subjea of complaint.
Motion refused.
