THE THEATRE,

Drury-Lane.

Tim Theatre opened last night for the season,
with the Comedy of The Inconstant, and the opera_
tic Farce entitled, Of 4geTa-morrovi.
The principal attrakaion in the Play was the
Bizarre of Mrs. JORDAN, a chara6ter which. affords
.scope for her lively powers, and which she performed
with her accustomed spirit, The part of Young
Mirabel was
,performed by CHARLES KEMBLE,
with more easy vivacity than could be expethd.
He conimitted an error which the Audience was silly
enough to applaud, in the scene where he is in the
hands of the Bravoes, delivering the order for the
red Burgundy, to the Page, in an under.tone of
confidential diretlion, which the suspicious ruffians
could hardly have been supposed to allow, and
which lessened the credit of his Mistress, who was
inspired by Love to procure his escape.
_BANNISTER was prevented from bustling about
in Daretete so much as the character required, hay..
ing received a hurt in his leg, for which an apology
. was made.

Miss Tinsw person is hardly suitable for a
Courtesan whose beauty is supposed to attract the
attention of s.O accomplished a rake as Miratel.
The Comedy on the whole went off with spirit.
• Mrs. JORDAN was received as well as her heart
could wiFh, by a numerous Audience.

The Theatre has been so well cleaned and paint.
ed, that it wears a new and beautiful aspen.
The rest of the Performers were very courteously
greeted as they respedively appeared.

Yesterday a Court was held at the Eank, when
the Governor announced the wish of the Di_
rectors to divide a certain proportion of surplus
five per cent. Navy Stock in their hands, among
the Proprietors. This proposition of course met
with no opposition. It appears the Bark Ileitis
about 231.3,0001. Navy five per cent. Stock ; to
make a distribution of two and a half per cent. on
the whwe of the Bank Fund, required a further
sum of ab.,:ut so,oool—Navy Stock, which it was
proposed to bay out of the accumulating profits of
the Bank, and then to divide 21. tos. in money
among each Proprietor of tool. Bank. This pro_
positt:4l was agreed to, and the Court broke up.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER PROM LIVERPOOL, DATED
SEPT. 15.

" We have had the most alarming fire ever known
in Liverpool : it began last night in the high. ware,
houses of Mr. FR ANC E at the bottom of Brunswick-
street : these are wholly burned down ; also those
of Mr. DAwsora adidning, at the bottom of Water_
street ; including the whole range from Bruns-
wick,st reet to Water. street, along Goree Causeway.
From these it com:nunicated to the New Arcade
warehouses, opposite to George's Dock. These are
all lutrnt down, Leven or eight in iiutnber. The
damage is supposed to be 3oo,000l."

We are happy to perceive, that there prevails
amongst ail respeCiable Men, an unequivocal desire
to disclaim li connection or intercourse with the
-Cold..6”tb.fitlds Baronet, and his Folt.'y. House Croy,
When we eAnsi,ler the. Principles Avowed, and the
Conduit pursued by him and his Followers, we must
ever consider them as Men dangerous to Society:

The seats for the Members in the HOUSES of
PARWAMENT at PARIS being marked /, 2, Stc:
is a proof that in the Sinate, as well as the Field,
the'French place their confidence in numbers.'
The CHIEF CONSUL- is said to have honoured the
Morning Herald with marks of peculiar disinelivi,
by permitting it to be readin PARIS. In this 80.
NAPARTE has shewn-his usual sagacity, the Morn-
ing Herald being the only English paper that 'is
always unintelligible.
We'understand that previous to-.the commence.
ment of the Pic Ric Theatricals, a gentleman of
that Society intends to give some prathial leetures
upon the use of the Globes, which will no duui,t be
attended principally by young ladies, who have not
been sufficiently instruaed in• this branch of edo...
cation.

Mrs. Fox, the wile of the "great English Pa.
triot," (to speak in the language of the French Jour_
nags) in the year 1774, perfpnned Indiana in The
Conscious Lovers, several times, and Perdita in The
Winter's Tale, twice, at Covent.Gtrden Theatre.
A. year or t after, she performed during a whole
season at the Haymarket Theatre.

Mr. COLMAN'S Plan deems to meet with very
general approbation. The Town will be glad to
bee the hatch of neayfaces, which he will have pre..
pared by May Plan has likewise the
recommendation of giving to obscure Merit, an ad-
ditional chance of being known,
Comedy and Opera, we presume, will be all the
fashion at Drury-Lane this year, as the absence•of
kEttak It will naturally make Tragedy halt in the
rear.

A curious circumstance happened in the Lobby,
of Covent-Garden Theatre on. Wednesday
A grey.headed genteel looking man beckoned one
of the frail sisterhood out of one of the upper boxes,
and took her aside. He was heard to say, that
. had admired her for ytars, when frequenting' the
Lobby. He Ittl now the ample means of making her
an happy and an honourable woman, if she would
give him her han4
in lawful matrimony. The Lady
struck the bargain, and,then departed with as much
precipitation as his decrepitude would admit, but
"further deponent sayeth not."
On Tuesday last was killed in the Parish of
Chodbeigh, Devonshire, •after a sharp chase of one
hour, by the pack‘of harriers belonging to the Gen.
tlernen of that Town, a most beautiful white hare,
after having eluded the pursuit of a famous pack of
hounds several times last season. It was started on
thegrotind of. Mr. josEr xi PIKE, within the Manor
of Chudieigh, and when killed, was immediately
presented to the Right Hon. Lord PLIFFoRp, at
Ligbrooke,.as Lord of the said Manor.
On Wednesday night the Warehouse of Mr.
Purse, in Cloak-lane, Watling.street, was brOke
opera, and robbed of property io the amount of near
000 t. consisting of-wearing apparel, watches, and
3ewelfery, sent 11.1tre for ;ale by different Pawn..

of October last, and ratified by His Majesty the
EMPER9It, on the 7th November, of the same year.

losses oc the Left Bank of the Rhine,

We are assured, that Brandenburg, Bavaria, anti
Hesse Cassel, 'voted on that day, Tile Vote of
Wirtemberg was also to have been given on that
occasion, These Votes were expeOed to be in
favour of the Plan of Indemnities proposed by
France and Russia ; and alSo an address ,of thanks
to them for having propsed them. It is certain
that the Minister for Brandenburg had :prepared,
in concert with the Ministers of the Mediating
Powers, an energetic declaration against- all delays
in arranging the Plan of the Indemnities, and that
Bavaria, Hesse Cassel, and Wirtenaberg,• had cone
curred in this Declaration ; it is nor however cot
tam that this Declaration has been presented,

Troops.

BASLE, SEPT. 7.—A great fermentation prevails
in the Canton of Zurich, where the inhabitants/
with the exception of those of the city. declare their
selves in smile; terms in favour of an Union %Oa;
the Smaller Cantons.

A vessel from Holland. arrived yesteiday in the
River with a Cargo of live cattle, oxen, cow;, and
hogs, owing to the want of provender in the United
Provinces. This is so far singular, as, it is the
iinport4ticnt ever made of this description I'. •
It is• a melancholy consideration-, that ,in Lb*
N:thb/e.Packet, wrecked off the Prawle Point on
Friday the 23d ult, nearly forty persons perisherip
amongst whom was a Master of the Navy, hi',
wife, and four children, a Lieutenant KELLY, 01
The Navy, and several seamen and seamen's. wiVeg'
These Packets are in general too small, and too
crowded with Passengers, both going to and frogs
Plymouth and Portsmouth.

A few days ago a woman dressed in mourning, of
a delicate appearance, and deiciribing herself to be /
the wido,rof an Officer; took lodgings at the house
of a respedable widow at Richmond,- having been
advised, as she represented, in consequence of het
late aeconehernent, to have recourse for the recovery
of her health, to the pure air of that charming Ira"
gage. From the great artfulness of this impostor,
she was most courteously treated -by a family of re:
spe4uhility who lodged in the same house, all°
from her interesting manner, her landlady contri,
bitted liberally to her comforts ; but after she had
been in the house a week, she took a walk in j.,e
evening, desired her tea to be ready at five o'clock,
and observed that she hali taken her pelice away, t°
send to her sister, whom she expected on a visit the
day following. The sentimental Lady not having
returned according to promise, and the daughter
of her hostess havilt, missed a gold watch that she
i
had left in her bed.cham,ber, suspicions arose, and
it was at length discovered that the Comumptil°
Path* hadrobbed the house of every thing port'
able on which she could lav her hands. silver
spoons, watches, and the paraphernalia of the young
lady, were all swept away, nor did she spare the
lodgers who so humanely sympathised in her suP"
posed misfortunes. It is thought she had an ac;
complice, as she was traced to town acc,anPiDlei
icy a fellow Who probably aided her in the robbery._
It is supposed she is now retired to some other pareof the country with her tale of woe, for the paiP° e
of committing similar depredations. Intellige"L
having been given to Bow street of the robbery,.rt
vigilant 'Officers were r near- overtaking her, Du
