slave-schooners: two of her men were killed and se,.
venal wounded :—rinfortenaLely the guts of the
Princess Charlotte were rendered useless Ater the first
broadside, and the pirates, hoisting their coloure,
made off. They belong to Cuba, and it is to be hoped
they will be brought to justice: the Captain of one
of *them was the Man who murdered the English
Captain Roicn, of the Kitty letter of marque, some
years since. In tact, all the Spanish and PoTtue:tte.se
'slavers are now strongly armed, and on every occa-

Saturday the Earl BATHURST, and a select party,
dined with the PRINCE RRIENT at Hampton Court.
Three of the Royal carriages are gone to be in
readiness to bring the Archduke JOHN, his Royal
Brother, and suites, to London.
'Friday. the throne and sceptre of Rajah SINGA.
King of Candy, arrived in London, as a present to
the PRINCE REGENT. The colours of his army, to-
gether with the eagles taken at the battle of Water-
loo, were removed on Friday to Whitehall Chapel,
to be hung up in a private maoner.
The Kentish Chronicle announces the arrival of four
Persian Gentlemen, on Thursday last, at the Army
and Navy Hotel, Chatham, where they are tozemain
for a few days previous to their proceeding to the Ca-
pital. In the mean time, they avail themselves of the
opportunity of being introduced to a brief acquaint-
ance of English manners and habits, through the
means of Colonel D'Ancv, with whom they were ac-
quainted during his residence in Persia, as an officer
of artillery in the suite of Sir Gone OUSELY, in his
late embassy to that country. The object of their
journey to England appears to be the attainment of
a portion of that knowledge in the arts and sciences,
for which it is so celebrated in every quarter of the
globe. Of these gentlemen, one is a physician, ano-
ther an engineer, and the third a cutler, professions
which, in Persia, we understand, are held in such high
estimation, that those who follow them are constantly
admitted into the Royal presence, and are treated
with the greatest distinction. Daring the time they
liave.been at Chatham,CelonelD'Anev,Commandant
of the Garrison, has paid them every possible atten-
tion, and has shown them every thing in the neigh-
bourhood that is worthy of notice. They are dressed
in silk habits, in the costume of their country, and
are of a dark sallow complexion.

and Antiquities; and contains the principal Routes,

Miss HORATIO NELSON, the reported daughter of
the late LOrd Neesoa, has, since the death of Lady
Harries e, been kindly noticed by an amiable female
of his Lordship's family, who has made some addi-
tion to her slender annuity.
The immense sums daily received and expected from
the ci.devant Bonapirtetn Princes to be vested in our
Funds, will *caddy account for the rise, or rather re-
civery et Stocks; for we can see no reason why Con-
sols, ukch were at 7'2 when in a state of warfare,
should fall to 56, now we enjoy universal peace, ex-
cept it was to enable Mr. BIsH to contract with Go-
vernment for the Three £50,000 and Four £20,000
Prizes, &c. at that low price which gives to purchasers
in this Lottety'all the advantage of the rise in Stocks
above 56, with the option of receiving the value in
menet, it they prefer it, however high the Stocks may
1):; and from the appearance of the market we should
not be sui pried to see Consols at 70 before the 7th
Novenib:r, on which day all the Capital Prizes may
be drawn.
CONDEMNATION OF A STAGE Coactra—Saturday
evenia;., an information under :he Eacase Laws, came
on for hearing before the Surrey Magistrates, relative
to the seizure of one of the Brighton coaches and tour
horses, while coming to town on the lath July last,
in consequence of having in the boot a parcel, con-
' taming Bandana handkerchiefs.—Mr. ALLEY ap-
peared for the Proprietors of the Coach, and. much
legal discussion took place; the Ma;!istrates, however,
declared their unasdnious opinion, that the Coach and
Horses. v tale ittiO, were forfeited.
Bow or a if.ET.-•—A Hackney Coachman was brought
to this Office on S:tturday, charged with stopping the
starting • of the mill coaches on Friday night, near
the Gloucester Coffee-house, in Piccadilly. Mr.
Ct.:tiles Gurney attended and stated, that he was
employed by the Post Office to attend every evening
at the Gloucester Coffee-house, to assist and facilitate
the departure of the mail coaches. Ori Friday night,
about eight o'clock, the prisoner drove hit coach close
to-the fo apatli within a few yards of the Gloucester
Ceffae-house, in the situation where the Exeter mAI
nsualty stood ; be desired the prisoner to remove his
vetch to make way for the mail coach when it came
up. The plisoner replied, that his removal of his
depended upon his fare, whose luggage he had
rot
its t:.e coach, and who Was only gone to the
G 1 aitester C. flee-house respecting a place by one of
the re .11 (—aches. The prisoner • persisting in not re-
.
inov;ng I.i, coach, be ordered Humphries, belonging
to the Oaice, who was in attendance, to take him to
the watch-house, and he turned the coach into the
zni•idle t f the street. The Magistrate said, he had
not heard any legal charge made against the priso-
ner, or any ground for one, and except Mr. Gurney
teed,' prove to him, that he had some special power
under, the Mail Coach Act, he had no authority for
what he had done. Mr. Gamey confessed that he
possessed no authority whatever, but had acted ac-
cording to usage. Henry Cooke, Esq. of Bedford-
square, said, he attended tsnublic grounds, he being
the fare of the hackney coachman, and having to set
off a nephew to Oziord, who was obliged to be there
by Sattirdaycer he would lose . Term.; he went to
Piccadiliy,tot the purpose of going by the-Worcester
or Gloucester mail ; he des red the coachman to
wait while lie went to the coach office of the Glyn-
ces.ei Cfifee-linisse to arrange about a place, which
occupied but a very, few minutes. On his retina he
found tite.cnach tutted into the middle of the street,
with ti..c lug. age in it, without any person to take
care of it ; he .::ntended that the C9ACh was his while
he paid for i!, aod it had as much rigl:t to remain
where it was as any coach that WAS to carry the let-
teas tie Post Otlice. This position was admitted.
The affair was at length ceiroptomised, by the coach.

15111 MY LANs 141111ATIM—The Play of Leah'
Pow: agaiiiattracted an elegant audience on Satur-
day evening. Mrs. Miami. in her erdri as Amelia
Wildenhaim, was greeted with loud applause, ht con-
sequence, no doubt, of the very judicious and praise-
worthy change made in her dress. Her performance
was more correct, and consequently more effective
than ever, and was accordingly honoured with the
most warm and universal, and deserved applause
throughout. Bills were distributed in the course of
the evening, claiming the indulgence of the House for
Mrs. HouN, who had undertaken the character of
Annerie, in The Maid and the ,Mazpie, in consequence of
the sudden indisposition of Miss Kaux. On this
occasion Mrs. Honk/ acquitted herself very ably, and
received great applause.
Cov -G ARDRN.MiSS O'NEILL'S Mulder° at-
tracted a very fall house on Saturday. It was a must
finished performance, and Mr. YOUNG'S Pierre was
upon a par with it. We never saw this Gentleman
to more advantage, and, indeed, cannot imagine any
thing more perfect than his personation of this cha-
racter. Mr. C. KESIBLE played Jafier with great
discrimination and success, and the Tragedy, alto-
gether, is produced in a way that draws largely upon
the sympathies of the spectators. The scene passed,
and the curtain fell amidst the almost enthusiastic
applause of a very brilliant house. The new Farce
followed.

We have authority to state, that the new Rosalind,
on Wednesday evening, at Covent Garden 'Theatre,
is the daughter of Mrs. JORDAN, and, report says, tke
her in person, voice, and manners.
Those frequenters of the Theatre who have been
delighted with Mrs. KENNEDY'S singing, will be gra.
tiled to hear that the Proprietors of Covent•Gsrden
have engaged a pupil of Mrs. DICKONSI who played
elrbaces for her benefit last season at Drury• Lane,
and whose voice has all the compass of Mrs. KEN•
NEDY'S, with a superior capability of expression, and

sweetness of tone.
Mrs. MARDYN, who has been so favourably re-
ceivel on the Drury-lane boards, is a native of Chi-
chester, and made her debut in the Theatre of that
city, where her friends still reside.-
It appears from the Report of the Meeting of the
Proprietors of Drury Lane Theatre, held on Friday,
that the amount of the annual aggregate receipt for
the last three years, has been AL222,9a6. 16s.
The expenses, on the contrary, have been r 824.2,493.
178. 6d. being an excess of £19,587. Os. 9d. which;
together with the debtor balance of £BO5O, on the
building account, forms the sum of £27,637. Bs. 3d.
the present amount of the debt on the Theatre. There
will be no dividend for the last season. The Com-
mittee, in conjunction with the Covent Garden Pro-
prietors, have addressed the PRINCE REGENT against
the announced extension of performances at the Ly-
ceum. The Meeting confirmed the appointment of
the Earl of EssEx, Lord BYRON, Hon. D. KINNAIRD,
Hon. G. LAMBE, and P. Monne, Esq. as the Sub.
Committee for next year ; and of the Duke of DE.
VONSHIRE. and P. GIIENFELLI Esq. as Joint Trustees

with P. Moons, Esq.
The first stone of a new Church at Weymouth
was, on the 4th of this month, laid by the Bishop of

T4ere is a house called Hardingwood. in the county
of Chester, the inhabitants of which whenever they
go to the parish church, which is that of Church-
Lawton, in Cheshire, go out of the province of Can-
terbury into that of Yin k ; pass through twocounties,
Staffordshire and Cheshire ; three parishes, Wool-
stanston, Audlep, and Lawton ; three constableries,
Turista% Chell, and Lawton ; two hundreds, Pit-
chill and Nantwich ; and two dioceses, Litchfield
and Chester.
Thursday se'nnight, a man of good address. appa-
rently a Naval Officer, who had resided at the Dukes
Head, Margate,. for a short time, and whilst thud
contrived to ingratiate himself into the good opinion
of several gentlemen with whom he messed. Duringi
their temporary absence be entered the bed room of
one of them, and broke open his trunk ; from thence
he took notes, rings, and wearing apparel. To con-
ceal the depredation, he locked the door, and carried
off with him the ley. An enquiry has been insti-
tuted, but without effect.
BAYONILT EURClSE.—Thursday, the bayonet exer-
cise was honoured by the inspection of his Royal
Highness the Commander in Chief, in the Queen's
Riding-house, at Pimlico. The soldiers present were
about WO, one half of whom were practised in the
new, and the other half in the usual mode of charging.
They were commanded to move one body against
the other in double quick time, charging, &c. when
it seemed evident that all the men charging in the
established mode were hit (with the exception of two
men only) by the opposite party, that is, by the men
charging in the new mode with their right in front.
His Royal Highness seemed to be of opinion, that
the left hand and the left side are stronger, and that
therefore the left should be presented preferably to
the right in front. His Royal Highness, however,
asked that question of some men, who replied, that
they telt the right to be the stronger side ; and his
Royal Highness ..observed, that they were the best
judges of that /natter. It would seem, that if they
could exercise well with the right in front, that they
might s. on be taught to do the same with the left in
front. • The second part .of the exercise consisted in
'Mewing the facility of introduCing the rear rank into
the front in all movements in line or column, the
knapsacks being laid aside. This part seemed to at.
track the attention and the approbation of his Royal
Highness. Lieut. Paden proposed, that it his Royal
Highness entertained a doubt of the superiority of the
exercise in close action, that be was ready then to
demonstrate the truth, by suffering all the ()dicers
and men of the Guards to Charge him, one after the
other, in the presence of the Commander in Chief.—
There were many Otracess precesit.
