YosTERDAY, in obedience to an order of die
LORD LIEUTENANT, the several Captains comma, d-
ing Corps of Yeomanry in Dublin, waited on His
Excellency at the Castle. His Excellency, attended
by Lord CATHC ART (Commander of the Forces), re-
ceived them in the most gracious manner, and in a
warm style of approbation thanked the Captains
for the loyalty and public spirit which, under every
circumstance of difficulty and danger, they and their
gallant Corps hail always manifested, and from which
he was confident they would never swerve ; in par-
ticular, he thanked them for the promptitude and
alacrity with which on Tuesday night last (though
called forth by their zeal only), they had assem-
bled in arms. • His Excellency was then pleased to
lay before the Captains for their approbation, the
plan of a regulated mode of assembling the Yeomen
upon any case of future alert or alarm. This plan
was highly acceptable, 'and will immediately be put
in orders.

His Excellency, and the Commander of the
Forces, repeated in the kindest terms their firm re-
liance on the loyalty, zeal, courage, and vigilance
of the Yeomen, and dismissed the Assembly in great
sa tisfaaion.

On Monday Lord WHITWORTH and the Dutehess
of DORSET left London for Knowle, in Kent.
Lady WARREN, whose it:elancholy death we
have 'stated, was the widow of the late Sir GEO.
\VARREN, K. 13; She was aunt to the present
Dutchess of DORSET, and sister of Lady LITER.
POOL. She resided at Kensington Gore, at a very
beautiful mansion, and by special favour she ob-
tained an iron gate fronting it, for her coach .to pass
into Hyde Park. It was singular, that .this Lady
and her Husband exhibited allegations against each
other in Dotior's Commons, and afterward!: renew.
ed all their conjugal endearments; and lived together
till the death of Sir, GEORGE.

The House and Furniture at Kensington Gore,
with the Jointure of Fifteen Hundred a Year,
lately possessed by Lady WAR KEN, 'becomes the
Property of Lady BULKELEY, the. Daughter of
Sir GEORGE WARREN by his first Wiie.— In
failure of Male Issue, the bulk of Sir GEORGE
WARREN'S Fortune, which is very considerable,
goes to St. George's Hospital.

Monday mulling the Dutchess Dowager of LEEDS
laid private information before Sir RICHARD FORD,
of a threatening letter which she hid received, in
consequence of which she considered, and was fear-
ful, the person wou:d do her a bodily harm ; and on
her Grace's information, Sir RICHARD issued a
warrant to apprehend him, and dispatched Macma-
nos and Townsend to take him into custody, The
Officers tried in vain to apprehend him, on Monday
night, but early yesterday morning they took him
him into custody, .at his in f3ond-street, and
carried him iy:fore Sir RICHARD FORD, at the Sc..
cretary of State's Office, for examination, when he
was extremely violent against the Dutchess, the
Countess of C , Mr. P-,-----, and several
other persons of distindion, saying, they had treated
him extremely ill. His name i Rob.rt England
Perrier; he is of a very respFdable family in Nor-
folk. He refused sending t.,r bail. He was,
therefore, committed to Tothill.fields
On Sunday the.Chathain Dock-yard Regiment of
Volunteers went through their evoluflons on the
Lines, in a style highly creditable to officers and
men.

It is stated that an Admiral has been obliged to
strike his Flag, becaUse he refused to intercept let-
ters direled to a certain Officer of his Sq adron.
Mr. PRINCE HOAR es new musical Farce is said
to abound in whimsical incidents and broad humour.
With these strong recommendations to pubic favour,
and the support of I;ew music from BitAHAm, there
can be little doubt of its success.

EMERY is to have a part in HOLMAN'S flew Co-

style of rustic simplicity and humour 'by which that
Performer has acquired his popularity.
It is stated in a Letter from Paris, that the un-
fortunate P _ icoT and BOURGEOIS, whose execution
was noticed in a We. /126;;;terir, and whom that
Paper, with its usual rzieracity, said, were in the
pay of England, fur the purpose of preparing another
Infernal Machine, were taken from the Temple in
the middle of the night on the 27th uit. in pursu-
ance of an express Ordet'Of BONAPARTE, issued at
ten in -the evening. They were carried before the
Military Tribunal, the Judges of which had been
convoked for seven in the morning : an Official De-
fender was, for the sake of form, appointed for
them, and an hour afterwards they received sentence
of Death, in the presence of several Gensdarmes, who
waited to condutft them to the Plain of Grenelle.—
Their fate was so completely decided befure,hand,
that previous to their being taken before the Tri.
bunal, the Guard of Paris were stationed at different
points on the road, which they were to take.
,A
Detachment of this Guard were orderer( to shout
them at the place of execution, where they waited
for their vidirns for three hours. That day, it is
added, BONAPARTE hunted in the Park of Meudon,
and it was remarked, that at the time when he sup-
posed his two vidims woold be sacrificed, he ra-
pidly ascended an eminence in order to witness their
death, and although the unfortunate men did not ar-
rive till an hour afterwards, he waited without she w-
ing any signs of impatience.
On Dec. 3r, a large Ship, without either masts or
bowsprit, appeared off Gibraltar, and was carried
in there. She had not a man on board, was laden
with sugar, rum, tobacco, mahogany, and other
goods, and appeared to be Norway built. From some
Papers found on hoard, it appeared that her name
was the Anna Banta, and that she had taken in
her lading at Christi!insand for St. Croix. The Vice-
Admiralty Court at Gibraltar has taken possession
of the Ship as Dutch proPerty, but the Danish Con—

m E OPER,I;

Ki Therzfre.

A new Com7id Opera was brought forward last
night at this place, under the tide of Le • Astuzie
Femminih. The music .is by CIMAROSA, and
though not quite equal to other works of that spirit-
ed Composer, is by no means unworthy of his talents
and reputation. It is light, airy, spirited and ef_
fedive. BOLLA was the heroine of the Piece, and
she displayed ail the feminine shrewdness, subtle-
ty, and quickness which its title denotes. She and
VIGANONI distinguished themselves very much-in a
Duet, in the first Ad, .which would doubtless have
been encored if it had not been quite so long. A
Duet at the opening of the Finale to the first Ad,
was so humorously supported by MORELLI: and
RoYEDI:10, that it was encored. ‘POLLA. and Vl-
GANcitt also were encored in a. Duet in the second
A. The accompaniments throughout are rich,
fanciful, and well contrived. Upon the whole,
the new Opera went off with great spirit, and was
much applauded by amore,nutneroUs audience than
is generally seen on Tuesdays.

ALVTIENT CONCERT ROOMS.

Hauover.square.

THE FEsrixo RooNls were opened last night in
illuminated state, for the purpose of observing
the efred produced by the alterations which have
been made by Mr. WYATT. Nothing can be more
light, elegant, appropriate and classical, than the
general appearance of the Great Room, in which the
musical Performances take place. The box design-
eci for the ROYAL FAMILY is at the East end of the
Room, raised above the place formerly allotted to
the orchestra. The orchestra is on the opposite
side of the Room, elevated to the same height in
front as the Royal box, and gradually rising to the
cieling. The Roomitself is not increased in size,
except by the addition of the orchestra, which is
raised upon the cieling of the small Refreshment_
room, lowered for that purpose. Tie following is
a general account of the new embellishments, all of
which are designed with the usual taste and elegance
of Mr. WYATT, .and are admirably executed by his
son.

The splendor of decoration is augmented by ap-
propriate paintings arranged in archite6tural com-
partments, and executed with infinite taste : on the
first glance we presinifed''the.intire series was from
the pencil of CIPRIANI ; a few pictures of this
master certainly remain, and to the lionnur of the
y,:ung Artist employed in the painting department,
:13 many Cl CIPRIANI'S works as could, by a judi-
cious restoration he preserved, have been replaced
in their original situations ; these 'are the Jupiter
and Juno in the center of the cieling, also two
smaller circles—in the one is delineated a figure of
Fame, in the other a Genius strewing wreaths of
laurel : the intermediate 'spaces are divided into
square compartments, and embellished with the al-
legories of martial music, and of render harmony--
the first inflaming the soul with valour, the second
melting it to love ; both of these are painted, by
Mr. M. WYATT, whose abilities have been sue.
cessfully called forth in the various graceful figures
that range alternately with ,four of CiPRIANCS. on
each side of the Concert Room, in the, varied basso.
relic vos, the embellishments that surmount the ca-
nopy, and the four paintings in the cieling imme-
diately over the-Orchestra.

Looking from His I`.vlAJEsTy's Box on .the right
hand side, the first Painting represents Instrumental
Harmony, a graceful ferniie tuning a guitar, ac-
companied by two Genii: the second Picqure per.
sonifics Vocal Music ; and in the third the Lyric
Muse, in a recumbent attitude, meditates her theme;
'then follows Inspiration with appropriate symbols ;
and the filth compartment displays the Historic
Muse inscribing on a scroll the influence of sweet
sounds—
" By Music, minds an equal temper know,
" Nor swell too high, nor sink too loW."

On the opposite side' commencing near the King's
box, a Muse in a sitting posture is writing Ana-
creontic compositions, adapted to the genius of fes-
tivity, indicated by the wreaths of roses scattered
on the scroll ; then follows a figure of Cuo ;
this pidure is succeeded by LITERATURE, the
study of which is so highly necessary to embellish
the labours of the Painter's 'Muse, delineated in
the next compartment, and flllowed by the DRA-
MATICI MUSE,-thus the ten piaure3 form an agree-
ble chnne&ed chain and lead to the Orchestra,
on the cieling of which is happily introduced
three subjeas to excite the emulation of Musical
Professors : in two of these the medallions of GE-
miNIANI and CORELLI are sustained by a favou-
rite Muse, and in the third the charming Puttc st.r.
is justly crowned by aerial figures hearing his medal-
lion. Mr. M. WYATT seems to have borrowed from
DRYDEN'S Elegy on PURCELL,

•
" The heavenly choir, who heard his notes from hi4h,
" Let down the scale .of music from the sky :
" They handed him along,
" Apd all the way he taught, and all the way they sung."
The Basso_relievos in two colours,
Ware through-
out admirable, particularly the one on the front of
the orchestra, in which a group of boys support the
Portrait of the immortal HANDEL, of whose merit
it may be said—

" Such Music
" Before was never made,
" But when °fold the sons of morning sung."
MILTON.
In the Armorial decorations over the canopy we
trace' Originality, and the Basso-relievos in the an-
gles are charaderistic-'of British feeling—Tyranny
vanquished, and Discord and Democracy chained.
The Earl Of CHESTERFIELD, several other Per-
sons of Fashion, and a considerable number of spec-
tators attended on tlis occasion, who 'all seemed to
he highly gratified with the modest 9plendor and
beauty of the place.

Mr. T. Draom furnishes the Diaio-%ne to a new
Entertainment preparing at Covent Garden Theatre,
from the old tale of Valentine and Orson. It will
of course he enlivened with some humourous Songs.
Mr. COLMAN is very forward with his new Co-
medy, which he means to keep entirely for the ad_
vante%e of his own Theatre.
