FRENCH AND DUTCH JOURNALS.

The former to the 18th, and the latter to the izd
infant, have arrived. They bring no accounts of
actual hottilities haling yet commenced on the Con-
tinent ; but, from the rapidity of the movements
among the troops belonging to the different Powers,
the period in all probability is not very di.lant. We
have given ample extrads from thefe Journals, as alfo
farther e:;traas from the Hamburgh Mails, in the
preceding columns.

• Sir SIDNEY SMITa attended yetlerchtv afternoon at
Lord CASTL ER FA:11149:1 Office, in Downin,, 11 feet; from
thence he went t' the Ildmiral.tv, and had an inter-
view, at fix o'clock in the evening, with Lord Batt.
HAM, and received his inftruilZions, prcparatoty to
leaving town yeflerday.
To.day no Court of Aldermen being held, the
Lord Mayor, after infpeainp, the Returns of the
Meal Weighers, ordered the pit: of Bread to re-
main as before.

His Royal Highnefs the Prince of WALES has been
pleated to appoint Mr. THOMAS I.vxmooar, of St.
Mary Axe, to be one of his Royal Highnefs's Sur- i
geons Extraordinary.
Mr. KFINDLE refumed his favourite part of 01la-
' vian, in Vic Mountaineers, laft night, at Covent-garden
Theatre, with his ufual fuccefs.
THEATRE, DRURY Las a.—A large audience was
drawn together on Saturday night at this Theatre,
to m itnefs the performance of Mr. STEPHEN KEM3LE
in Fejltilf in the Tragedy of Henry the Fourth ; a part
which he might be laid to cnmpletely fill, if mere
animal bulk were to he eonfrdered as its only re.
quifite ; but the FaUlnif of SHAKESPEAR, to be well
fupported, (lands in need of other //fit/ere/to than a
(hart crutch. Mr. K. however, it mull be ad-
mitted, conceives fame parts of the charater with
tolerable accuracy, but fails in the execution of the
pielnre, even its the extent of his own conceptions;
there were, notwithilanding, thole prefent who ap-
plauded, and that loudly, but we are prrfitaded
they never raw the facetious Knight perfonatcd
by HENDERSON ; and if they compared their favou•
rite with fume other ..tors now on the (Lige, it was
prejudice only that induced them to give him the pre•
ference. ELLISTON was very refpeetable in Hoifpur ;
but we cannot add as much of Mr. H. &novas's
Prince of Wales, and therefore we (ball not lay any
more on the fubjett r .
A moil dreadful tumult took place at the Theatre
of Berwick upon Tweed, on an evening lately, jolt
before the Yount; Roscrus came forward in the
character of ircSmct. A cry of Fire was echoed
through the houle, when infiantty groans, fcreams,
and fluieks built forth from every quarter. The
cracking of timber in the gallery was Wert heard,
and the dread cf tire was augmented by the idea of
the fall of the gallery, for loon a voice cried ~ the
gallery is falling." To efcape was impoffible ; yet
all initin tive!! prelted towards the doors, which were
initan:ly choaked by the crowd. Thole next the
stage milted upon it, and others gained it by the af-
fiftance
of their companions. In vain were the an.
dience told that their fears were unfounded, for the
cry of " the gallery;is falling," was (till kept up
The continued crashing of timber, and cry of 0 Firer"
rung through the !mule, and every feeling was elec-
trified with horror ; until a number of gentlemen
(housed nut " All's fate," and in a then tame after-
wards the general fear was removed. At this mo-
I
ment Mr. BETTY appeared, and the play was per-
formed without Luber intertuption.
