COVENT-GARDEN.

Mr. YOIiNG repeated the pita of Hamlet last night to
a vet y numerous audience. He played the chief scenes
in his usual nobleness of style. The soliloquies were
Aiven in the finest manner and called down repeated
bursts of applause. The scene with his mother was
likewise admirably played.

We yesterday stated, OR the authority of a letter from
our Correspondent at Calais, that FERDINAND VII. and
the Duc d'Asiootmaste could not agree as to the future
policy of the Spanish Government : we now understand
that the French Ministers are equally dissatisfied with
the conduct of the KING since his release. They charge
him, it is said, with ingratitude, for his utter disregard
of ieir advice, as evinced in every public melstue he
has adopted. It has been. resolved, therefore to with-
draw immediately nearly all the French troops from
Spain ; in consequence of which resolution, the monthly
payments made to the Regency by France, and which
amounted to more than 1,500,000 francs, are to be dis-
continued, while all remittances to the army are to cease,
there being, it is supposed, money enough in the mili-
tary chest of each division to carry then: back to France.
We know not how far these facts are to be depended
on; indeed they are not very probable, but we derive'
them from good authority.
Some .extracts from the Registro jffcial of Buenos
Ayres, July 12, will show the manner in which the Go-
vet nment of the Republic of Rio de la Plata was occu-
pied about that period. It aprears that the famous
Ultra principle, asset ting on behalf of every King an
indefeasible right to give or refuse Institutions to the
nation he goveins, was made the positive ground of ne
gociation for a defensive alliance between the Constitu-
tional Government of Portugal and the free State of Rio
de la Plata—" the attempt to destroy such Constitutions
and Governments" as do not emanate from the will of
a tyrant, being justly considered by the negotiating
parties as " subversive of every national right.
With considerable satisfaction," says the Glasgow
Courier, ‘, we lay before our readers, the following
letter from Mr. Coa.clutsourz, London, addressed to
JAMES EsvrNc, Esq. Chairman of the West India Asso-
ciation in'this City, and rcceived.here this morning :
St. James's-place, London, October 15, 1823.

MV DEAR SIR—I have just received an assurance from Lord
Bathurst, that arrangements have already been made for immedi-
ately sending out reinforcements of troops to the West Indies._

• Believe me, Rec.' "
A private letter from Malaga of the 23d ult. states,
that the old system being re established, the importa-
tion of wheat is again permitted, though subject to the
former high duty, when coming from foreign ports and
in foreign bottoms, of 26 reals vellon the quintal, and
of l 3 reals vellon in Spanish bottoms. The same letter
mentions that the old regulation respecsing tonnage is.
again in force, consisting only of one teal itllon the ton
on foreign vessels.
GialtALTAlt.—Extract of a letter dated October 4 :
Wc understand ArtutraLLEs and several other Mem-
bets of the Cortes are now in our Bay, having hastily
escaped from Cadiz, fearing the retaliatory disposition
of the Royalists. The Themis French frigate brought
from Cadiz 250 of the French Guards to garrison Al-
gesiras, which have been landed there, which indicates
an intention of occupying the sea-ports."
The following was yesterday posted at Lloyd's:
" Porto Praya, St. Jago, Cape de Verd Islands, May S.
" On the night of the 27th of April, the British
schooner SWIFT, Captain HENRY, of and from Sierra.
Leone, at anchor in this port, laden with fifteen tons of
camwood, 700 barrels of husk rice, &c. was boarded by
about twenty soldiers of the girrison of this place, and
some renegade French sailors, and taken out of the har-
bour, undiscovered by the guards of the different bat-
teries which she passed, and is supposed to have gone
on a piratical cruise, as ,he is without Captain HURRY,
who was on shore at the dme; the mate and all the
crew, with a young American lad, from Boston, were
on board. The schooner is American built, raking
masts, carries a.fore cap and top-gallant sail, copper
fastened and coppered, pierced for fourteen guns, and
mounting four, and measures 192 tons. It is supposed
that the mate and American lad, with such of the crew
as would not join in the piracy, have been murdered,
she was under Dutch colours, and called the Aurora—
and when last from the Port of St. Thomas, where site
was refitted, sailed on a slaving voyage, and was cap-
tured by his Majesty's ship SYREN, and condemned at
Sierra Leone on the 29th of November last; and should
she have sailed to the West Indies, to join the pirates in
those seas, it is hoped she will be captured by the num,.
tous cruisers in that gamier. All her papers are safe,
and in my possession."

LEITII, 0E201E14 18.—The Minerva, Bear., from Sydn‘. v, New
South Wales, to /with, was put into Valparaiso on the 4th nue,
leaky, and on the 7th, during a severe gale, was ran t.:tll of by the
Yaldive frigate, and bad her top sides stove in, with other damage,
so that she would be obliged to discharge anti repair. Thu Good
Intent, of Leith, Mem., from Newry with flax, in taking Aberdeen
harbour on Saturday afternoon last, struck on the point of the
North Pier, but by the prompt and al.le assistanze of the pcopie on
the Pier she was got off. and brought into the harbour, and has
since been discharged. The vessel has received much danta3e in
the bottom, and has broken her bowsprit and several of her spars.
The cargo is considerably damaged.—Saturday, the 1 Ith instant,
the galliot Vrow Anna, J. Pixies Master, from Antwerp, with .a
cargo of oak-bark and Raz, upon attempting to enter Kirkahly hair-
hour, went upon the rocks to the eastward, and bilged. The greater
part of the cargo has been landed in a damaged state ; the materials
have been saved, but it is uncertain whether the vessel can be got,
off.—We learn 'that the Cromarty roads were crowded with vessels
which took shelter there from the gale of Saturday last, which was
a severe day at sea. The Union, of Limekiles, laden with lime,
sprung a leak off Peterhead, and with much difficulty made the
port of Cromarty on Sunday.—Sunday morning last, a boat, marked
•e Fame, of Cnarleston," was cast ashore about a quarter of a mile
to the eastward of Aucbmithie, and dashed tit pieces; there were
also cast ashore several pieces of plank, and part of a companion dour.
