a new Ballet .was produced laA night, entitled Le Suitge

The Plot, Which iv takenfrofn the French Opera of Let tlardm
is very simple. Ossian (C. VE871413), retUrning from the wars,
greeted by the Bards upon his victories. Having released his ph.
toners, I;ranno (Mr. VINAFRA), as a mark of his esteem for 1::1
valour, gives him in marriage to his daughter, Evirallin, (linear.
Liecnos). Previous to the return of Ossian, however, Corn:;-,
(Mr. BOISOCKARD) had demanded Evirallin for his bride, and ha's(i
been refused. This provokes him to revenge; and, accordingb.,
just as the marriage ceremony between Ossian and Eviralliu
about to take place, Cormac appears, and Challenges Ovian to eV:.
combat. The challenge is accepted ; they fight, Corinaz
quered, but his life is spared. The marriage then proceeds, ;t4
is celebrated by a Divertisement. The whole company afterwa,e,
set out on a hunting excursion. During their absence, Corm,.
returns with his followers, and concerts measures to ca-ry (sa
Evirallin, which. he afterwards effects, and at the 14111 e
makes Ossian his primmer. This closes the first AL.t. •!.„
second is wholly occupied with the dream of Osstan in t:e
cave where he is confined. ,At the conclusion, Cormac and bit iti
lowers enter for the purpose of murdering Ossian in his sleets, t.;
their designs are frustrated by the appearance of the Ghost of r
gal; at the same instant Evirallin and the Caledonian troops re4cht!4

This is a pretty and anittsi!ig Ballet, but in conse,
quence of the protracted le:1;th of the performance,, t!.;
company in the house was greatly diminisl.e.i before t 1,2
conclusion. The principal new perfoi mer is Mr.Vusa.

acquisition to the " Corps de Ballet." The scenery
the last act is exceedingly beautiful, and met with Inc::
decided approbation.

A ST RO LOG V.
-......--

MR. EDITOR—It must be in the recollection of
many, that the last Sultan of the Turks, agreeably to a
ptedictioti in Partridge's Almanack (or some othet) met
with his death in the year 1808. The matter wocli
have passed without any particular notice in this coun-
t: y, but for an elaborate article in the Monitear,
had for its object, to prove, that • his death must have
been brought about by the procurement of the British
Government—" or how, otherwise, could it have been
predicted in a book which certainly it might have sup-
pressed ?"
I am led to notice the circumstance now, from
•erving a similar prediction in the Prophetic Almanack
for this year, under the Month of March. The prog-
nosticator's words are—" If 1 construe rightly, What is
called an untimely end awaits Mahmud acrd sultanim, in
a great measure,together." Mahmud, however, is net
the only Sovereign whom this prophet ltas condemned
to death: witness the following elegant lines given
under the same month :
In friendship with th' unholy league, otte liege
Seems his own peaceful kingdom to besiege;
Which, while he seeks to carry ,by assault,
Like Nadab dies he, from provok'd revolt.
The mob, rtjected, fealty forsakes,
And with a scorpion's rancour vengeance, vengeance takes;
With whom the army, as the sign affirths,
Appears to be on somewhat friendly terms," &c. &c.
Should these predictions, or either of them, be re-
alized, I shall be almost persuaded to believe in A,tro-
logy.—Your's; -ASTRONOMICL,S.

• The following Resolution was offered by Mr. CLAY to
the Committee of the !louse of Representatives, on the state of the
Union, on the 21st of January, and laid on the table for considera-
tion. No measure has yet been taken on it:—" Resolved by the
Senate and House of Representatives of the. United States, in Con.
gress assembled, that the people of these States would not see with-
out serious; inquietude, any forcible interposition, by the Allied
Powers of Europe, in behalf of Spain, to reduce tn.their former
subjection those parts of the Continent 6f America which have pro-
claimed. and established' fer themselves, respectively, independent
Governinents, and which 'have been solemnly recognised by the
United States."

The first numbers of the Greek Gazette, printed at
Missolonghi, have been received at Corfu; they are read with ex-
treme avidity. It is announced, that a French Journal will shortly
be printed in the same town. Europe will at length obtain informa-
tion of what is passing, from other organs than those of the Turks.

. The Charleston Courier of the 4th February; states,
on the authority (if Havannah Get:wiles to January '27,
that vessels were continually arriving at that port from
St. Juan de Ulloa, with office's, soldiers, and money ;
from which the Charleston paper very naturally infers,
that the Spaniards are about to abandon their operations
at that point against Mexico.

The dissentions amongst the Royalist Papers in the
French capital continue to increase, from which it' ap-
pears certain that a schism has taken place between
their patrons.
DARING OUTRAGE AT Wrrivalt.—A daring act
of violence was on Saturday night committed at Withy
ham, in Sussex, on the person of a respectable man
named Ilodgeson, who, chile returning home, between
Ilaitfield and Toppili, about eleven ()clock, was as-
saulted by two ill-looking fellows, one habited like a
'sailor, and the cr,her in a round frock, who without
giving him any preirious
.notice, brutally beat him with
bludgeons till he was almost dead. The poor man
orawled home with difficulty. The same night the sta-
bles of Mr.- Turner, a farmer in the neighbourhood,
were broken into; and it is strcngly suspected by the
same persons, as a gang cf very bad people have
haunted the neighbontly,od for a long time, who are
supposed to be closely connected with a systematic set
of poichers, whose depredations base, during the last
winter, been very great, We-Linde' stand that :cyeral
