LONDON, OCTOBE47 g, ISoz.

IN the dearth which at present reigns of Intelli-
gence, that is vitally interesting to this Country,
we cannot hut smile at the devices of our Cottm.
poraries to amuse, if not the Public, at least them-
selves. Of this description is an assertion, that
pertain Great Powers of Europe, and which, in-
deed, are specified by name, have agreed upon a

remonstrance to the British Government, against

the Liberty of the British Press ! If there are
English Readers who can believe such absurd reve-
ries, the present may, indeed, be denominated the
Age of CseLd;ty with the People of this Country.
While, however, we must, both in reason and

conscience condemn the loose and injudicious re_
marks brThany -of the English Journals upon the
internal proceedings in neighbouring Countries, we
are not unobservant of, nor insensible to the con-
• duet which is pursued by the French, with respect' to
some of the other States of Europe. We have
often stated, in the, most marked land energetic
language which honest Feeling could diclatc,
our -sentiments of the ..equ.ally_ unjust and ,
justifiable inVasion and overthrow of the In-
-dependance of Sq.tiitzeriand, in the first instance,
by the Revolutionary Government of France,
and we are net more disposed to vindicate any
aa of injustice on the part of that which now
exists there. The Swiss we shall ever think an
Oppressed and injured people, and we deplore their
fortune in the same proportion as we have ever ad-
mired theit vii tee and their love of Freedom. Their
second, and perhaps final subjugation to the power
of the French arm 3, we anticipated, if our Readers
will be kind enough to recollea., at the titre that
iye heard of the evacuation of Switzerland by the
French Troops near tWo months ago, because we fore_
saw that the da,-,mon of Dissension had so completely
Possessed that once happy people themselves, there
appeared no hope oft hat unanimity which could alone,
in the fpresent state of Europe, preclude the pretext
for fOreign interference. The mode in' which this in-
terfin-ence has been made, is not the most respe&.
ful to the dignity of a Foreign State, nor, in a free
Country, can the Principle upon which it is done
be approved.---It is the Principle indeed, the re-
sistance to which roused into .sitch stupendous ac-
tion the natural energies of France, which during the
whole Revolution she affeaed tp be combating, and

which now, freed from the pressure of War, she
. seems ambitious to adopt and extend to every cor-
-nef of the World. The Swiss may, with their
native virtue and valour, endeavour to resist its
prat-lice, as applied to themselves.—They will have
the wishes, the prayers, and the syutpathy of all
good men, of every Nation ; but, alas ! what will
all united avail, against the Power with whom they
:lave to contend E'—The conquest, however, will
probably not be a bloodless one to France, and the
Swiss will have the proud consolation of reflecting,
that they did not fall ingloriously, and withoUt
that struggle,' which .ii'reemen only can make.'

Yesterday M. UTTo dined with the Minister at
Lis Hop se in Downing:strret, and .ii was understood
to be the Farewell Dinner to that Gentleman. In
this case, there seems reason to believe that General
ANDREOSSI may soon be e:peaed to arrive in this
Country.

slight, and happily Of short duration. After his
return from the Review on Wimbledon Common,
His MAJESTY went into a Warm-bath, and walk-

cold", which'the attention of Sir FRANC IS MILL-
MAN very speedily dispelled. His NIA/Es1:1, has
fo; these Sour or live days enjoyed his usual good
health.

Yesterday forenoon HIS MAJESTY, on his way
from Kew to St. James's, stopped at the Riding_
House itf Pimlico; where he remained about an hour,
inspeding some fine.. cream4coloured and black
carriage horses lately imported from Hanover.

St. Matthew's Fair, Bridgewater, commenced
on Saturday. The quantity of cheese brought in

to 4.05.- per cwt. but much of the latter kind-re-
mained unsold. The -shew of cattle of every
description was numerous, and they experienced 'a
reduction in price. Horses of figure maintained
good prices, bur colts were dull of sate, and declined
materially. The Fair was, in general, large, and
the fine weather attra4ed a vast concourse of people
to the field.

THE ARTS.—The new Institution which we
mentioned some time ago, and which, we under-
stand, is really likely to be soon brought forward,
is intended to constitute what may be properly cal-
led Tot BRITISH SCHOOL. The professed objels
of this Institution, are to correct the false taste
which induces too rnany to be " charm'd by the
ti;hiscling of a name," and who prefer works by
Old Masters, to the productions of Modern Artists,
- merely because the latter are modern ; to prevent
those who aspire to the Character of Connoisseurs
and Patrons from being 'deceived by Copies, for
which enormous prices are demanded ; to shew the
progressive advancement of the Arts in this Country,
to proVide a refined species of Public Amusement,
which may gradu:4:y improve the National Taste,
and 'finally, to raise a Fund fpr the support 'of un-
fortunate Artists, their Widows, and their Chil-
dren. Such a plan deserves encouragement upon
.rnotives of Patriotism as well as Himanity—it af-
fords scope for the exertions, of GP.Nrus, which
'May tend to adorn and enrich the Country, and
'eters a resource for GENIUS when it has becOme
the vitlim of those misfortunes to which
.human
life is perpetually exposed, when it is obscured by
Novelty or declined in Age. The PRINcK of
WALES, it is said, much. to the honour of' his Il-
lustrious Charatter,. has promised to be 'the Patron
of an Institution, which obviously blends the
portant interests of Utility and Beneficence.,

EXTRAORDINARY POLITENESS.—An Attisi bf
eminence, who is not more distinguished by his
talents than by the singularity of his charater, was
lately waited upon by a brother of the pencil. The
Artist first mentioned opened the door himself, (for
he suffers no person to live with him in the same
house) and held it in his hand. He said, I
have brought three Gentlemen, countrymen of ours,
who are very desirous to be favoured with the sight
of some of your performances." " Sir," replied the
Cynic, " you and your Irish friends are 'very
troublesome," and without farther ceremony ihtit the
door in his face !

A. Crins. Con. affair has been mentioned in- tlle
Papers, which happened in India some yeatS ago,
in which a celebrated Member of the Supreme Cuun-
cil) during the Administration of Mr. HASTINGS,
was a party. The matter was brought to a trial,
(and the first of the kind) in the Supreme Court, 'in
Calcutta, Sir ELitAx-ImPEY, Chief Justice. The
Plaintiff, a Mr. GRAND, got a verdift against the
Member of Council, with very heavy damages. The
Judgment was delivered by the late Sir Witt,tANt
JONES, who, in giving the amount of the dirriages,
said " Forty Thousand Rupees," upon which Judge
HYDE, who sat next him, pulling him by the
sleeve, said " Siccas, Brctber JortYs:, teas."---
This was from the atrocity of the case, a Sicca be-
ing higher in value than a current Rupee.
We hear that Mr. GRAND, who is said to be
husband to the present Madame TALL EY RA 14D, has
lately returned fro,m the East Indies, and that pre-
viously to the late 'marriage of Monsieur TALL ry.
RAND, he had an interview with him at Paris ; and,
from' the events which have since taken place we
may cCuclude it was. a 'very friendly one, Mr. G.
having retired into Switzerland, and Mrs. G. hav-
ing become the rwife of the Minister.
Twenty-eight houses, barns, and stables, were
destroyed by fire on the zgth ult. at the village of
Vendenheim, two leagues from Strasburg, •

KINC; HENRY THE FOURTH.

MR. STEPHEN KEMBI,E, the Manager of the
Newcastle Theatre, last night Tnade his first ap-
pearance at this place, in the clyrafler, of Falstaff.
This A4tur has long been celebrated on Provincial
Boards for his representation of the Fat Knight*
and having been seen in it u few months ago at
Scarborough, by Mr. SHERIDAN, he was invited
by that Gentleman to perforiVitig Drury lane
Theatre. .

The part of Falstaff is, perliap:,one-of the most
difficult in the whole round of the ComiC Drama.--•
It demands great intelleaual acumen, with flowing
hilarity, and companionable ease, a rare compound
of qualities, and such as is rather to be expeEted in
the imagination of the Poet, than in the representa.
tion of the Aa-or. Hence different Performers. have
acquired reputation in this part, not for presenting
the whole combination of its properties, but for
giving a principal feature with efFeEl-.
gave the Satire forcibly, but in rather too crabbed
a mariner. The late PALMER. was jovial, but did
not adequately exhibit the penetrating shrewdness.
KING was shrewd, but not sufficiently convivial.
HENDEk•SON, upon the whole, blended all the qua•
lities of the part with more success than any of its
Representatives within our remembrance, but he
laughed too much at his own merriment, and was
too effeminate in his tones.
Mr. STEPHEN KEMSLE had an arduous task to
perform, in'following, so many excellent Adors, in
so popular a ChamEter, and if he had fallen below
all of them, the pleasant. manner in which he has
ridiculed his own Person, in the IntroduCtory
dress, would disarm CRITICISM, and incline her
to favour his pretensions. He certainly understands
the meaning of his Author critically, and gave the
whole of the part With judgment and efeet. None
of the points were lost, and he did not, resort to
grimace, but his humour was rather lowland decla-
matory, than luxuriant and facetious,.- His com-
panions must be supposed to be rather afraid of his
severity than inclined to particinate humour.
Yet the cheerfulness; and the easy .merriment Of
Fals!alS are to be
.considered; as..the chief .at-
tra&ions by which he gains the favour of the Prince'

We must again repeat that Mr. hEMBLE'S Fahte
was judicious and critical, but it sheaved rather t.t.t%
discerning mind and sarcastic spleen of the charaCter
than its convivial spirit. It was, however, a very
able performance, and such as fully to justify rh.;
distinguished literary char:lEler whose favourablG
opinion induced Mr. KEMBLE to visit the Wie-f
tropolis.—The Audience received Mr. KEttpo;
throughout with great applause, and seemed to bo
very well satisfied with his performance.

We cannot compliment' - Pore on his represental
don of Hotspur. The impetuous fire, and n0)1
animation of the part were lost in a kind of indis.!
.
criminate clamour, or affeded• negligence..

Previous to the Play, the following Address wag-
delivered by Mr. BANNISTER, who, though muLli
oppressed by a cold, contrived to make every ii;rc
of it tett', to use, the theatrical lariguage, autx~ ramea
considerable degree ?f mirth in the a:2.klicnce.
