ZARA, SEPT. 4.

The Governor of Zara has received intelligence
from the Major General of the grand army, that the
Austrian troops have been ordered to evacuate Dal-
matia. The
.above intelligence has been communi-
cated to the Commander in Chief of the said troops.
Should their troops not yet have received orders of
evacuation, it is probably to be ascribed to the same
accident which has prevented several French couriers,
dispatched by the Emperor, from reaching the place
of their destination, by having been arrested, notwith-
standing the armistice and de Toiled of their dispatches.

His MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to desire
that all the Russian prisoners on parole should return
to their country.
Yesterday there was a Cabinet Council at the Fo-
reign Office. The greater part of the Members were

the Council.

mirals. It comes down to Sir TIIONIAS THOMSON.

Letters from Tarragona, by a private ship, speak
favourably of the state of the army under General
BLAKE, and mention that his forces are provided with
every thing that can prcmote'heir comfort and success.
YestcrdAy the Captain and Officers of his Majesty's
late brig ALLAAIIT, were tried at Sheerness, for the
loss of hei in the Baltic, when they were honourably

On the occasion of the Jubilee, two fat bullocks
and one hundred gallons of ale have been given by
the Rev. .1. Sot, re. Vicar of Leigh, near Tun-
bridge, to be distributed among the poor of his small
parish, allowing to each in family a pound of meat
and a pot of ale—the ridows to have a double portion.
Lord DARLINGTON'S estates in the neighbourhood
of Muswell Hill, devised to him by the late Countess
of BATS!, were yesterday brought to the hammer.—

ON THE JOYFUL EVENT OF lIIS MAJESTY'S ENTERING
INTO THE FIFTIETH YEAR OF HIS REIGN.
BY THE REV. WILLIAM FERNYHOUGH.
Genus imtnortale manet, multosque per annoy,
Stat Fortuna Domus.
Hail, glorious Epoch ! hail this happy day !
On which we greet a Sovereign's lengthen'd sway—
On which we greet a King on England's Throne,
Whom Friend and Father Britons gladly own !
Thro' letig!li of years, by HEAVLN'S indulgent hand,
Guarded, to wield the Sceptre of the land;
A patriot King, by gen'rous views inspir'd,
Whose bosom, Justice, Love, and Mercy fied ;
Who made the Subject's good his fav'rite aim,
And thus explor'd the truest path to Fame !
'irain'd in fair Albion's land, and Freedom's school,
His mind, untainted, scorn'd despotic rule !
Untainted saw that all the pride of state,
. Fonn'd not the real greatness of the great;
That all the pomp that waits the regal hour,
Could shed no lustre on the hand of pow'r;
That power in vain with glaring light wou'd shine,
Unless bright Virtue guided each design—
Unless bright Virtue dignified the decd
Of honest Fame, that hopeless was the rimed :
By Virtue's rules he form'd of pow'r the plan,
And thus shone forth the Monarch and the Man;
By acts of love, his People's lave lie gain'd,
And welcome empire o'er their heart's obtain'd!
And tho' advancing in the vale of years,
Unditnni'd by Time, his virtue still appears;
Bright and untarnish'd still remains his fame,
And dear to Britons still his honour it name !
Like Sol, resplendent, still is GEORGZS reign,
When with late rays it glorious gilds the plain !

War Office, October 24, jBO9
Whereas it has been most humbly submitted to the King, whe-
ther, on the joyful occasion of his Majesty's entering into the 50th
year of his reign, it might not be desirable to distinguish so me-
morable an epoch by an Act of Grace to all Deserters; and his
Majesty having graciously approved of his Free Pardon being ex-
tended to all such deserters from his land forces as shall deliver
themselves up within two months from the 25th instant : These
are publicly to declare his Majesty's benevolent intention, and to
direct that all desertt.rs, surrendering themselves to the Comman-
ding Officer of any Regiment, or to any lithe Superintending Field
Officers of the recruiting service, whose stations are mentioned in
the margin * hereof ; to the Commandant oldie army depot in the
Isle of Wight ; or, where there is no military post, to a Magistrate,
shall be pardoned, and they are hereby pardoned accordingly.
Such deserters, if from the regular forces, being able-bodied
men and fit for service, shall be sent to the regiments from which
they respectively deserted, or be appointed to such regiments in
the United Kingdom as his Majesty may be pleased to command;
and, when so placed, shall not be liable to be claimed by any other
corps to which they may formerly have belonged : and if from
the militia, shall be sent to the regiments to which they respec-
tively belonged.

And whereas many of the said Deserters may have enlisted in
other corps, and are now serving therein' his Majesty is graci-
ously pleased to extend to such Deserters the benefit of this par.!
don ; and to direct that they shall continue to serve in the corps
wherein they now are, upon declaring themselves to their respec-
tive Commanding Officers, on or before the period abovemen-
tioned ; and they shall not be liable, at any future time, to be
claimed by the regiments in which they formerly served.
The Magistrate, to whom any Deserter, as above, may sur-
render himself, is authorised and required to certify the day on
which such Deserter surrendered himself; which certificate is to
continue in force until the arrival of the Deserter at the nearest

unless prevented by sickness, to be certified by some Medical
Practitioner on the back of the Magistrate's certificate, or to be
otherwise proved to the satisfaction of the Officer commanding at
such military post.
His Majesty has further been pleased to direct, that Deserters
now actually in confinement as such, sh all have the benefq of

performers discharged their duty to the .tt. ',1"• iner •,
long as the audience would permit them.
On the admission of the half-pricecorps,at theterm%
nation of the second act, a partial tumult commenced,
which was very faintly supported, and was extrenit.iy
trifling when compared with the tempests of former
nights. The company in the pit, u-hen most stronqa
did not amount to more than 250 persons, not fume
than 50 of whom seemed to inter Ere 1- • •

exertions. Their Partisans in the boxes were t.err
,few. They succeeded, however, in renderino• :?);
voices of the actors inaudible, and in drowning i!;e
beautiful music in Oscar and Malvida, althoutth
ballet was attended to with peculiar pleasure v the
majority of the house. During the last scene, and
lafter the curtain. dropped, the half-price men joined
in a full, but comparatively weak, chorus, singing
We'll fight, and we'll conquer, again and again!"
After which, they gave three groans for John
Kemble and three huzzas for John Bull.
Some skirmishes took place in the Boxes ; and a
Major, of Bond-street notoriety, had the honour of
thrashing a butterman, from Aldersgaw-street.
A person in one of the centre bozes, who had been
troublesome during the latter part of the evening,
having received a hint that an escort was in waiting
for him in the lobby, thought proper to make his re.
treat good by jumping into the pit, and so escaping.
• In the interval between the Play and the Ballet
some placards were hoisted ; but their zppearance
was so transient that we could not collect their coo.
tents. The parts which we did see, gave us no tea-
son to regret our loss. 4 large face, the muscle.,-,
contrected with anger, with the inscriptien, " 7

reign during the whole evening. O. P. hats were)
usual, numerous, and one young man with that distia-.
guishing, badge conspicuously placed in the iron; of
his hat, was taken into custody and conveyed to Low.
street Office. This seemed to operate as a simper
on the spirits of the others, who were not quite sa
noisy during the rest of the performance.
Upon the whole, the opposition of last night wag
extremely moderate. Tile ebbings and flowing; of
popular clamour, however, have been so variable from
the commencement of the present contest, that v,e
cannot venture to give a positive opinion on the sn.n-
ject. The house was completely cleared in a guar.
ter of an hour after the conclusion of the ballet, and
without any of the usual vociferous expressions of
loyalty, or the accustomed -haunting of God save
the King."

LYCEUg THEATRE.—The Opera of me cab,' w;s
repeated, at this elegant Theatre, last night. Mr.
PHILLIPS was in fine voice, and gave the song: di-
lotted to Orlando with the happiest effect. The ini•
•
pression was loudly answered by encores, and peals of
applause.—His merit was the more conspicuous, as
he derived no assistance from the orchestra.—Miis
KELLY, in Floretta, afforded new proofs of future ex-
cellence. Her song " The Bird in nonda- rose co; Ai:
was encored, and the whole scene, the best in the Op:i.4
admirably performed. Her archness and vivacey
were of the best quality. The piece went off with
eclat, and the house boasted a splendid audience. The
Princess of WALES and Party, the Earl and Countess
of Bes.snottoooft, and several others, of the Erst rank
and fashion, were present.
Tuesday se'nnight was distinguished by one of the
grandest Masonic Processions that the oldest man in
Paisley remembers to have seen. The numerous and
respectable Lodges of Freemasons met, and went in
masonic order to the Abbey Church there, when the
Rev. Mr. Boer delivered an excellent discourse :rat
the 127th Psalm, " Except the LORD build the licreJ,
they labour in vain that build it." After Divine Ser=
vice, the procession went through sonic of the princi,
pal streets of the town, and then proceeded to Inchin-
nan, accompanied by the band of the late 2d resi•
ment of Paisley Volunteers, where the foundation
stone of a new bridge was laid by BOYD ALEXANDER,
Esq. of Soutlibar, Depnty Grand Master, under
which there was laid a number of gold and ate
coins, and several newspapers, likewise a piece Of
plate, with the names of those gentlemen who have
taken an active part in the undertaking. A greet
number of people from all parts of the country ad*
cent, attended on the occasion. The respective Lodgee
returned again to Paisley, and spent the night In so,
cial harmony.
Yesterday morning early, a young Lady, in Mih
bank-street, arose in her sleep, and, throwing up the
sash of a two pair of stairs window, fell thereirmn,
but providentially alighting on some mortar, io the
areal she escaped with very trifling injury.
