DOTTER, Nov. 2.

SEVERAL of General ANDREOSSI'S Attendants
arrived at Calais yesterday, and the General him-
self was fully expected there at noon to-day. It is
supposed the wind set so far into-Calais Harbour,
that no Vessel could get out this afternoon's tide,
so that he is not expeaed here tutil to-morrow.

THE THEATtr.—The Comedy of The Arerg.
IVives 4P'qlji/th'isor was represented hst. night at
Drury-Lane Theatre, and STE PH EN KEMB L E'S Fa/-
Staff again drew a numerous audience, whom he
appeared very highly to gratify, as he received
throughout abundance of applause.

The alterations and omissions which have taken
place in the new Comedy of aellys and Blunde) 5,
shew a commendable submission in the Author to
the opinion of the Public, and have indeed very
much improved the piece. It went off last night
with such success as seems to presage that it will
probably be at least popular through the Season.
Mrs. SIDDONS has renewed her engagement in
Ireland, and'is not likely to return to this country
for some Months. Her success has been very great,
and her performances highly admired.
KEMBLE has enjoyed better health since he has
been abroad than he possessed in this Country for
many years.—He was subjet to an habitual cough
in this Country, which has, never troubled him on
the Continent.

STEPHEN KEMB LE'S daughter, a very fine young
lady of about sixteen, who api.)eared upon the stage
in her infancy, ventured last week to come forward
again in her Father's Theatre at Newcastle. She
played the part of Rosina, and as soon as she had
recovered from the embarrassment which timidity
occasioned, supported the charaaer with simplicity
and elegance. Her voice is very sweet, and she is
well acquainted with Music.. She has since per-.
formed the characters of Violante, in The Wonder,
Laura, in The Agreeable Surprize, and Leonora, in
The Padlock. The applause of the Audience seemed
to be the result of a warm approbation, and she is
likely, _to loecoßs.,a great acquisition to the Stage.
It is extraordinary, that the Lady who is said to
have more thap,an haxdredDresses, should generally
appear almost naked !
Mr. KING, Master of the Ceremonies of the
Lower Rooms, in Bath, has commenced an a&ion
against the Proprietor of them, for having refused
to open,them this season. The reasons which have
induced the Proprietor to adopt so extraordinary a
measure, we are not acquainted with.

The Marriage Ceremony between a young couple
of Floldby, was put a stop to last Thursday for some
time, by the bridegroom, a sailor, abruptly.declar-
ing that he did not care how much better his wife'
might turn out, hut he had pre-determined if she
ever grew worse, to dispose of her as soon as he
could, and would tell no lies in church about it. No.
argument could prevail on him to plight his troth,
till the father engaged to take her home, and love
and cherish her for the husband,. in case she really
grew worse after marriage. -
Joseph Lettice, Valet to the well known John
King, was brought in custody to Bow-street, yes-
terday, on a warrant wherein he stood charged on
oath, by Thomas Searle, an Officer of the Sheriff of
Middlesex, with violently assaulting him in the
execution of his duty.

It appeared, that on Monday evening last, Searle
having a Writ against King, he went to his house
in Duke-street, near Portland-place, and having
obtained entrance, by getting down the area, and
in at the kitchen door, he was immediately assaulted .
by the Prisoner Lettice, notwithstanding he in-
formed him he had a Writ against King. The noise
brought down King, and the Right Honourable
Lady Lantishotough ; the former of whom, on
learning his business, joined in the assault. The
poker and • itings were then had recourse to ; and
-the two fititiMe servants assisting in the cause of
their MiSt&,. the scuffle l)ecame general.. King
was rescued, and made good his retreat to the
yard of an adjoining house ; Where, however; he
was found, and the caption at length made good.
—He was first taken to a lock-up house ; but
there being detainers in the
.Sherirs-office against
him, to the amount of near five, thousand pounds,
the Officer, for his own. securit; thought proper to
lodge him the same night in Newgate.

The Prisoner in his defence admitted the assault,
but denied being apprised of the business the Com-.
plainant came about, although he acknowledged
that he knew his master's situation, and had re-
ceived positive orders from him as to guarding'
every entrance to the house ,against bailiffs. He
was ordered to find bail for assaulting the Officer in
the execution of his duty. The Officer's face chewed
marks of some very hard blows. •

On Thursday Capt. T—, whose misapplication:
of certain monies committed to' his charge, had
placed him under some ennbarrassmentsi abandoned
his duty at :Woolwich, and decamped with the wife
of another Gentleman ; but they had not proceeded
far on'the road before they were pursued and over-
taken, when Captain T— clapped a pistol to his.
head, which instantly exploded, and blew out his
brains.—Lewes journal.'
And on Friday, Captain HEAVEN, who com-
manded a Detachment of Artillery, at Battle-Bar-
racks, in a fit of insanity cut his throat in a dread-
ful manner, and expired almost immediately after.

O 4 Monday se'nnight, Lord PE LHAm presided at
a Meeting6l4lle Commissioners of Newhatren Har-
bouri; held atihe White Hart, Lewes. Lord SH EF-
F ELby BLACKMAN, and a great number of
CommisSiciners, attended. This would, make a safe,

easy Harbour for Ships of 300 tons and upwards. A
Resolution was put and carried, stating the want of
a harbour, as well as its beneficial consequences to
the trade of Newhaven and Lewes : that a Memo-
rial should he presented to that effel to the Lords of
the Admiralty, requesting their approbation and as-
sistance, the Funds arising from the tolls of the har-
bour being inadequate for the undertaking.
