consequent misery to the lower orders of the
People,if not indeed to the whole Community. The.
subject, However, is too intricate for us to presume
to-enter into a discussion of it, but we firmly rely
on the wisdom of that Government which has
maintained our national honour abroad, essen-
tially contributed to restore peace and security to
Europe, and who may be safely trusted for the
adoption of such measures as will best promote
the internal convenience, comfort, and prosperity
of the Empire.

We rejoice to fiud that the attempt to recal the
EXILES into France has been defeated. Too
many of those Miscreants have already been suf-
fered to return, and the more of them that are
permitted again to pollute the soil, the more will
the Monarchy be endangered, and the sooner will
the Country be exposed to another Revolution,
and Europe to new disturbances and convulsions.
But if even the acknowledged mildness and cle-
mency,ot the KING should interpose in particular
cases, where, for instance, an unfortunaie com-
bination of circumstances have led some Persons to
support the late Usurper, yet on no account should
the REGICIDES, of any description, receive ad-
mission, and we conceive that the Monarch, by
tolerating their return, would shew a censurable
indifference to the memory, the virtues, and the
lamentable fate of his murdered Brother.

Tire FUNDS.—The greatest bustle prevailed
early this morning at the Stock Exchange ; the
Brokers assembled long before the hour of busi-
ness, and when the rattle announced the time to
begin, bargains were effected at 6971, but the
Sellers were so numerous, and the Amounts to
such an extent, that Consols fell to 681-; they
afterwards recovered, and at 12 o'clock were 69k,
but the Market looked very heavy.

THIS THEATRE.—There was a very numerous
audience at ,Drury-Lane Theatre, last night, to
The Carib Chief, which appears likely to becorhe al-
moot as attractive as Brutus, Indeed, as Mr. KSAN
is fitted with a character, in Onireah, better calcu-
lated, on the whole, to bling all his powers into ac-
tion than any other in which he appears, it would
not be wonderful if his popularity should be fully
revived, particularly as - the Play itself possesses
more dramatic and poetical merits than most that
have preceded it on the London Stage for a long
period.
MISS MACAULSY...—ThiS Lady, who possesses
great merit as an actress, gave a whimsical me-
lange last night in the Concert-room at the Opera
House, in the style iol MATHEWS. Her enter-
tainment, consisting of three parts, was called
The Shamrock. The Introduction was a severe hit
at the Management of Drury-lane Theatre, parti-
cularly on the presumed ascendancy of Mr. KEAN
over its operations. A Dialogue between an Actress
and a Manager folio Wed. The second part iias
of the serious.kind, comprising recitations and imi-
tations, particularly of Mrs. SWOONS in Elvira
and Queen Catherine.. The third part, styled Le
Petit Souper, was musical, and consisted of songs
in various dialects. The whole displayed ex-
troturdinary powers, and was deservedly applaud-
ed by a numerous audience.

HANOVER-SW/AM—The Annual Concert of
Messrs. C. and W. KNYVETT took Place last night,
and, as usual, was attended by a very large au-
dience, with a considerable proportion of the Fa-
shionable World. The whole was well selected
and admirably performed, but we have not room
for particulars. An apology was made for the
absence of Amettooarrr, who was obliged to at-
tend a Rehearsal at the King's Theatre', kind for
Miss STEPHSNS, who was preveuted by'a cold
from singing " The Soldier tied," as announced.
The Directors of the Ancient Concert gave up
their allotted space near the Orchestra on this
occasion.

Last night we received German Papers to a
late date. The accounts in them from Bremen,
Lubeck, anti the ports of the Netherlands, give a
melancholy tiestriptiou of the state of commerce.
The failure of a house of considet able importance
in the colonial trade at Hamburg!), is said to have
,excited great alarm at Frankfort. Several met-
chants at that place bad caused to be drawn up a
Petition to the Diet, praying for the abolition of
all iuternal Custom-house duties, and the orga-
nization of a system of Customs against all fo-
reign States. It is added, that a Society of great
number's and extent had been formed, for the fur-
therance of the same object.
Yesterday the Duke of Yortx transacted mili-
tary business with the PRINCE RitoeNr, at Carl-
ton House. The Royal Duke submitted to the
REGENT'S inspection three privates in the Cold-
stream Regiment of Foot Guards, in their new
clothing.
The Marquess of CHOLMONDELEY, we are happy
to state, was better yesterday.
Yesterday morning, about half-past eleven
o'clock, the Princess AUGUSTA arrived at Glou-
cester House, from. Windsor. Shortly after her
Royal Highness accompanied the Duchess of
tit.oucasTett to Carlton House, where they re-
mained during the morning. In the evening their
Royal Highnesses returned to Gloucester House
to dinner. Afterwards the Princess returned to
Windsor.

On Saturday last, two men were lodged in
Cranbrook gaol, under a charge of thefi. On
Monday morning, when the Officers visited the
gaol, for the purpose nf taking the men for an
examination before a Magistrate, it was disco-
vered they had made their escape, which they cf•
fected by digging a hole .through the foundtitiun !
