COUNT ST AIIREMBERd:

THE sudden expdliion of this Nobleman froin Paris
by the special order of the FIRST CONSUL, having
been exclusively mentioned by us, and the fad, tho'
denied by most of the Daily Papers, having since
been confirmed, we now state the circumstances
which are believed to have occasioned so singular an
event.
Wheii the Fißsi Coista commanded in Italy, a
small Publication, entitled Le Grand Howne, or
something similar, appeared at Paris, containing
strittures on that General. This publication was
anonymous, and never avowed. When the EMPE-
ROR proposed sending an Ambassador at the Peace
to France, Count STAHREMBERG was fixed upon by
His laIPERIAL MAJESTY as a proper person, and
the Embassy was accordingly proposed to him.—
The Count, with all deference to His Majesty's
command, hoped for permission to decline it, from
an unsurmountable objedion to the nature of the
French Government. , It should seem, that the
FIRST CONSUL was informed of such refusal, and the
cause of it ; which, added to the suspicion he al-
ready entertained of the Count being the Author of
the anonymous Pamphlet, rendered him an objed of
dislike to the FIRST CONSUL. •.
The Count was returning to England, after
having visited Vienna on. his private affairs ; he
took Paris in his way, and meaning only to stay a
week, declined visiting the FiasT CONSUL. The
day after his arrival, Mons. de COBENTZEL, tl►e
Imperial Minister, received a Note from Mons.
TALLEYRAND, informing him,. that it was the
FIRST CONSUL'S order, that Count STAIIREMZERG,
should quit- the French Territory in twenty-four
hours. Mons. COBENTZEL in vain represented to
Mons. TALLEYRAND,, the in►ustice of such pro-
ceedings, offering to be himself responsible, that
Count STAHREMBERG should answer any accusation
against him in the most satisfaaory manner. All
that could he obtained from the Minister was, that
the FIRST CONSUL gave no reasons for his condua to
any one, and that the Count had only to obey the
order, which he did'accordingly; after sending strong
remonstrances to his Court.

THE ThEATRE.=—The new Opera of Family
Quarrels atttaded a crowdcd audience to Covent
Garden Theatre last night, and at an early hour it
was judged necessary to announce, by a board at
the doors, that the bones were full. The Piece
self is too insignificant to be an objet of popular at-
tradion, but supported by good aaing, and the recom-
mendation of music and scenery, ic• may, perhaps,
escape the fate to which criticism would assign it.—
It is hardly possible, by any alterations, to ren-
der it worthy of public support, with a reference to
its dramatic qualities. Some confusion arose last
night, which brought forward MVIIDEN and FAW-
cEtT. The Tatter, with commendable zeal, had
studied a new song;• instead of that which gave of-
fence to the eirgasbites on Saturday, and was too
Much agitated by the disturbances in the Theatre, to
recoiled exadly what he had hastily acquired. He
apologized for his incorredness, and his plea was
well received. That the Piece will be repeated with
success, and that all opposition will finally die away,
we can readily conceive, but we cannot retract an
iota of what we said of its demerits ; and must
again declare, that except as to the a&ing, the.
mask, and the scenery, it is totally unworthy of a
London Theatre.

It has been said that Judaism had a complete
triumph at Covent-Garden Theatre on Saturday
last ; but the truth is, that the friends of Common
Sense joined with the Mosaic fraternity in opposi-
tion to a Piece which, so far as its dramatic pre-
tensions are considered, consists of nothing but fri-
volity and dulness.
The Daughter of WADDY, the Ador, performed
the part of Caroline, in the new Opera, on Satur-
day night, at Covent Garden Theatre. Her man-
ners are interesting, and the whole of her perform-
ance promises much in her favour.
Mr. BARCLAY, who performed Orlando, on Sa-
tnrday last, at Drury Lane Theaare, is likely to
have an engagement at that place.
Mr. FOOT made so very reaTeaable ta stand in
Hamlet, that it is probable he will obtain a perma-
nent station on Drury-lane boards. It is very sel-
dom that a young man, with such promising talents,
and such advantages of education, conies forward.
Many passages of Hamlet he gave with first-rate
ability, and he supported the whole of that very
arduous charaeier with a degree of merit that no
Actor upon the London stage, now that KEMBLE
has left it, could equal in conception and effect.
Thursday last, a Publican was convided before
CHARLE# FREEMAN, Esq. Mayor, and CHARLES
SMITH, Esq. two of His Majesty's Justices of the
Peace for Northampton, in the penalty of 4os. for
suffering gaming in his house.
A long depending Tythe Cause was lately de-
cided in the Court of Exchequer, in which the late
WALTER. BLUNT, Esq. of Nether Wallop, was
Plaintiff, and the Rev. EDWARD HULTON, Vicar
of the same Parish, Defendant. By this decision
the Vicar establishes his right to all the small
tythes of the Parish, particularly the tythes of grass
seeds and seed-hay, the Plaintiff's hill for the re.,
covery of the same being dismi‘sed, with costs.

YESTFRiM.YJame; Clark, alias Pna
Robert Prawn, were executed at the west end o
the Tolbooth, agieeata to their senteriee. fir hay.:
ing robbed the Mail coming to this ft.orn the
West Country, on the morning of the ist~ui AcTrtst
last. They were assisted in their devotions by !hit
Rev. Mr. Mt bEtisoN, one of the Ministers of thi
City, and the Rev. Mr. SIR fias.
Clark and Brown appeared to be nearly of the
same age, rather under thirty years.
Bre,wn :'as born in* the neighbourhood of IL
City, and was bred a farmer. •
kespeaing Chri-h there ate no certain accounts;
He gave himself out to be the son of a journeyman
weaver in Paisley, and said he was himself bred td
that business. There are some reasons; howeveri
for saspe6.ing that this is not the faCf. He had a
genteel appearance, and his address and manneri
were more polished than is generally found in per.
sons of the rank. he claimed.

The Royal Authority has just been obtained for
establishing a weekly market at Richmond, Which,
it is etoected, will be highly advantageous to that
town and neighbourhood.
Yesterday John Hatfeld underwent a third exa.
mination before Sir R. FORD and T. RorwasoN„
Esq. at Bow_street. Nothing final rook place, and
Hatfield was remanded on his former' cotnmitment.
He looked well, having his hair powdered, and
being better dressed than'before.
Yesterday two Fishermen were apprehended and
brought before the LORD MnYot, at the Mansion
House, with their nets, by John Nelson, the Prin.
cipal Assistant to the Water-Bailiff, for using them
at Long Reach ; his Lordship after hearing the
Parties and examining the nets, which appeared of
a very destruaive nature, ordered them to be im.
tnediately destroyed, but the Officer having repre.
sented to his Lordship that it was their first offence,
and that they were very poor, and have large
families, his Lordship humanely considered their
situation, and forgave them the Fine, on their pro.
mising never to transgress the Laws again.
Died on Sunday last, at his house at Anon, in
the Soth year of his age, SAMUEL Wtoo, Esq.
Senior Beecher of the Honourable Society of Gray's

County of Middlesex.
A Lifeboat, upon an improved constroaion, has
been invented at Shields ; it is mentioned as being
calculated to serve as a long-boat, incapable of
being sunk, to any description of vessel ; it has
a sliding keel through the centre.
A few days ago, information was received by
some of the Bow_street Officers, that four men, of
suspicious appearance, with two carts, heavily
loaded, were seen on the Edgware.road, coming
towards town, on which they immediately went
in quest of them, and near Kilburn met the carts
and men described. The carts were loaded with.
eight sacks of different sorts of. flour. The drivers
were secured and brought before Sir WinarAmt
PARSONS, when a direction was produced, which
was found on one of them, to a man at the mill
of Mr. William Goodwin, at Picket's End, near
Hemel Hempstead, Herts. The Prisoners were there-
fore committed for a further hearing, and proper per-
sons dispatched to the mill, who took into custody
the Miller's confidential servant, upon whom they
found a letter from the very man in whoSe pocket
the said direCtion was found, and which related to the
plan of robbing the mill. At the next examination,
before Mr. BOND and Sir W. Pt. sons, some cit_
cumstanCes transpired which critninated two of the
Prisoners of being concerned in robbing the warehouse
of a Mr. Richmond, on one of the quays in Thames-
street, of seventeen quarters of malt, which, after
passing through the hands of a Jobber, was sold to a
Brewer in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel. On
Friday the whole of the Prisoners were again exa-
mined before the same Magistrates, when Mr. Good-
win's man having made a voluntary confession of the
robbery of his Master's mill of the eight sacks of
flour, and of a former robbery of four sacks of flour,
was admitted an evidence for the Crown against the
four men taken with the cart. The charge respeda
• ing the malt will be further investigated.

,A robbery was committed on Thursday night,
io,Poqsmouth Dock-yard. From the desk of the
tirst Clerk to the Commissioner, were taken cash
and notes to the amount of upwards of 601. A
person is in custody on suspicion.

On Monday se'nnight, the body of a fetnale child,
about ten' months old, was ibund drowned in the
Canal, near Pacidlogron ; and from its iiim being'
broken, and the shoulder dislocated, it was.suppostd
some violence had been used. On inquiry, the child
proved to belong to a Journeyman Coachmaker, in
the neighbourhood of Oxford-street, who, with his
wife, was seen walking near the spot on the Sunday
evening preceding. The husband was sent for, ar.d
interrogated ; he said, that his wife and child came
to him on the Saturday evening before, continued
with him all night, and on the Sunday went to
a public-house near the Canal, a little beyond
Paddington, where they had some dinner ; after
which they walked' .out together, and 'he left
them about four o'clock in the afternoon, by the
side of the Canal,
~intending to
.go to Barnet,
to see two other,of his children, who are in the
Work-house !the-re ; but it being nearly night
when he gOt.to.Whetstone, he returned. He posi,
tively declared,: that he, had never seerh,his wife or
child since, or knew what was become of either of
them, until he heard the latter was found drowned ;
he admitted, that he had made,no inquiry after his
wife, and said • that they had parted, because she
was very muchgiven to drinking. 'He was ordered
by Sir R. FORD to remain in custody, and the body
to be searched for, which was, by some 'Bargemen,
found on Friday afternoon, about a mile from the
place where the child, was discovered.—He again
'underwent au examination yesterday, and was re-
manded for Monday next. •
