LONDON, MARCII I, iSo3.

The. ROYAL FAMILY •came to Town frorn
Windsor this day, and FIFE. MAJESTY, Oie arc
happy to learn, is so much better that it is the
intention of THEIR MAIESTIFS to honour the
Antient Music with their presence to.morruw
evening.

To-morrow is the day fixed to present the City
Address ; the LORD MAYOR will proceed It'orn
Guildhall at tz o'Clock, when h is expeaed more
Aldermen and Commoners %vitt attend than has beer.
known for many Years.

At.a Meeting held yesterday at Lloyd's Coffee-
house, of the Subscribers, a Motion was made by
Mr. 4NGERSTE " That on account of the emi-
nent services. Earl-Set= a a has rendered them and
the Country at la'rge, during his late Administration,
his Lordship's Portrait shbuld be placed in the Sub-
scription-room, as a testimony of their esteem and
regard." A very spirited debate took place in copse..
quence, and the sense of the Meeting appearing tO
be against Mr. NGERST' E IN'S proposition, an ad.
journMent was moved. This motion was over•
ruled; and the following .Resolution was at lengih
agreed to : " That notwithstanding the very high
sense the Subscribers entertained of Earl Sr Ericta's
meritorious services, they could not, consistently,
adopt the Motion in question, as it might encou•
rage motions of a similar nature in future."

The Dublin Papers contradia the report of n pro.
posed abolition of the Vice Regal Court in Irelnn,l,
which was circulated there as well as here some.
time ago.
The York Hgrald, received yesterday, contradias
the report that several persons last week were ap-
prehended and committed to York Castle, on
charge of High Treason.

By Letters received yesterday from Dugiiri,
we learn that. the Epidemic Malady which prevails

• It is'hopeci that the violent storm of wind which,
prevaikd on Saturday night and Sunday, will have
the effed of dispelling the pestilential vapours,.
which have produced no inconsiderable share of
sickness in this Metropolis. An Influenza. has been
prevalent here for the last formighr, but happily
not so severe or fatal as that which has raged at
Paris.

The CHIEF CONSUL, it is to be hoped, will at
length be reconciled to the People of Jersey, when
he learns that the Liberty of the Press is at least
curtailed in that Island, if pot altogether -restrained,
and that too by its Civil Government.

In consequence of a riotous disposition having
manifested itself amongst the Seamen employed in
the Greenland trade, at Shields, the Cagsfort fri-
gate, which was under orders for sailing to the
Nore, has been detained.--Another gun-brig ar-
rived last week. •

A curious seizure was made last.week at Portsea.
Upon occasion of a marriage,- the Bridegroom gave
an entertainment to his friends at the Society
and sent the wine froth his own house : soon- after
the Company were placed at cable, two Revenue
Officers entered and seized all the liquors in the
room : they had been purchaSed at the Custom-
house, but the Gentlethan had negleaed to take our
a permit for removing them from his own house t 0
the place of entertainment.
A very serious fracas took place last week at the
Portsmouth Theatre, occasioned by some drunken
young. Bucks of the Navy. They interrupted the
performance, threw a lighted candle into a Box
among some Ladies, and otherwise conduced them.
selves in a very riotous manner. The Peace Officers
being afraid to ad as the young men were alt armed,
the Military were called in, upon which a cry of
fire was raised, and the whole audience thrown into
the greatest alarm and confusion, and several serious
accidents were the consequence.

The Gentleman, who not long since advertised
for an accomplished wife, with a moderate fortune,
was received in due form by a very accomplished
female adventurer, at the elegant house of a family
now absent from England, no doubt through a con-
nexion with those who had the care of it, and
passed for an heiress to a considerable fortune.
After receiving a few rich presents, suitable to the
occasion, the Lady appointed a time for fulfilling
her promise of running away, as she was under age,
which she did before the expetled time-:—not, how-
ever,. by running off with the Gentleman, but With

THE THEATRE.—Captain CAUL, TEL 6 perform.
ed Hamlet again last night, at Covent Garden Thea-
tre. His spirit carried Mtn through this arduous
.part with great success ; but we think he might
have attende:i with advantage to the hints of public
criticism. He certainly gives an animated portrait
of the part, but Hamlet is so elegant as he ought
• to be rendered amidst all his perturbations, all his
a.oxieties, and all' his bursts of passion. This Gcn_
• IlFinaa's utterance was in .general. much too loud,
and marked by a kind of scalding eirriation4qhe
audience was not numerous, but vehement in ap.
plause; •
Drury. Lane Theatre last night had again a very
numerous Audience a r the representation of The Here

cif ,-.4j,exv, instead of Mrs. BLAND) who is indis.
posed. Mrs. BLAND'S vocal powers were, indeed,
a great support to the Piece, but considering the
situations in which the charafter is placed, Miss,
MELLOW. person is much better fitted for it, in.
Aleper;dently of her imerit' as an Adress.
We are happy to hear that Madame PARISOT'S
indisposition is of a slight nature, and not likely to
deprive the Public very long of the gratification
they always receive from her exquisite performance.
Mr. KEMSLE, we understand, is engaged to
perform in Ireland upon his return from the Can.
tinent. The London Stage is finperfed without him.
Mrs. EsTtN finished her engagement at Edin-
burgh, on Thursday last, with the charattem of
aphelia and Roxataria.

COOPER, the American Mint., is a modest, in-
telligent young man. He left a good situation in
America, to try his fortune en the London boards,
and if his reception here should not he proportionate
to the success which attended him„in that Country,
. his talents are so much admired, and his charafter
so much respeCled there, that he can resume his
,station with undiminished credit.

severe run of sixteen miles over the High Wolds,
