COP:ENT-GA RDEN THEATRE.

The Opera of lnile and Tarkc, and the Farce 01 i. ,
Miser were intended as :he entertainments of Li:,
night at this theatre. The first two acts of the opt:z,
were heard with occasional interruption, not suP•
ciently strong, however, or lasting to deprive us c,
the pleasures to be derived from this beautiful dranri
for. as the 0. P.'s had not acquired strength, Mr:
Drozows was heard with grett pleasure by the lover,
of harmony, in the duct, 44 0 say, simple Maid." Mrs
LISTON, in Wowski, excited much laughter ; and, i:,
short, the Opera altogether would have afforded a rici:
treat, had the oppositionists suffered it to be heard,
—At half price the Pit filled, and the murmurs whicl.
had previously produced interruption, increased to
peals of thunder as loud as any we have ever wit.
nessed during the disturbance. The 0. P.'s com-
menced their operations by clearing the centre ol
the Pit, and when a large space had been formed.
several practised leaping. One man, extraordinan
as it may appear, actually made a standing leap
over six seats. This feat was followed by others,
and when they were tired, they exhibited several
single-stick matches, in the gladiator style. A nev,
dance was also performed by the whole corps de
belie% to the tune of 0. P. A violent stamp with t 11..:
right foot was expressed by the exclamation 0 I arj

was sung, and the groans and hisses were repeate,:.
for,those Paps% which had attracted their notice.

persons with 0. P. in their hats.
A suecessionof groans and cheers followed the farce,
and shortly after the house was cleared ; it having
been previously recommended that no assemblage or
mob should take place in the street after the perfor.
manse, but without effect. A considerable rabble
was- gathered together, and paraded as usual, but
dispersed without doing any mischief.

Bow-sy a zar.—At an early hour of the evening, Mr. Wein-
hqlt,.ivho has made himself so conspicuous among the Oppositio-
utsts,-brnught a man, named ✓am Smith, before Mr. GRANAM,
on a charge of felony, in stealing his hat on Saturday night last,
in the:Theatre: but, as he could not identify the person of th-
prisoner with the certainty required by the law, and as he could
not prove the felonious intent (even if the man had taken his hat',
the charge was dismissed.

Yesterday her MAJESTY gave a most splendid fete at
Frc•gtnore, in celebration of the birth-day of her Royal
Highness Princess AUGUSTA SOPHIA. The morning
was ushered in by the ringing of bells ; and at one
o'clock the Royal Blues and Stafford Militia fired
fewle-joye in Windsor Little Park, which was an-
swered by a discharge of forty-one guns from
Round Tower. At half-past two o'clock his Royal
Highness the Prince of WALES arrived ; and at half
past three her MAJESTY and the different branches ni
the Family left the castle, in their carriages, for Frog-
more, and were escorted by a party of the Royal Blues.
The entrance through the gardens into the house bad
a delightful appearance. The sideboards in the prin-
cipal dining-rooms were richly ornamented with gold
and silver, and upwards of eighty covers were laid.
At five o'clock her MAJESTY, the branches of the
Royal Family present, and the company sat down to
a sumptuous dinner, served up in a most magnificent
style. The bands of the Royal Blues and Stafford
played during the evening. After dinner her MAJESTY
and most of the company, retired to the Drawing.
room, fronting the lakes, in the gardens. The whole
apparatus used on the late happy occasion of the
Jubilee, was left standing, together with the add-
tion of? upwards of two thousand extra lamps.—
The beautiful temple and temporary bridge, opposite
the garden, in front of the house, were most fiuicifully
and brilliantly illuminated. The preparations being
nearly the same as on the Jubilee-day, it is unneces-
sary to enter into a detail of them ; but the fireworks
were more brilliant, and, the triumphal cars were
much improved, and immediately on their arrival
at the bridge, with Britannia, preceded by Neptune
with his trident and a band of musk, a rocket wai
thrown into the temple, by which it was instanta-
neously set on fire, and at the same moment ascended,
as kwere from Britannia's car, a large beautiful star,
will an elegant medallion of the King, surrounded
by circles of variegated lamps, and elevated at such a
height above the temple as not to be injured by the
flames. On the top of the temple were the figures of
Fortitude, Piety, and Virtue, pointing to Heaven,
and the eye of PROVIDENCE directed on the medallion
of the King. The burning of the temple presen-
ted a noble and picturesque scene. At eight o'clock
the whole concluded, when the QUEEN and company
retired to the Castle. Upwards of 200 cards of in-
vitation were issued.

Tuesday afternoon, about half past two o'clock, the
Princess Amer.'s, accompanied by her Royal Sister.
the Princess MARY, the Dukes of CusinEaLANn and
CAMBRIDGE, arrived at Windsor from Weymouth, in
the Prince of WALES'S travelling carriage, attended by
Lady GEORGINA MURRAY and Dr. POPE. The car.
riages stopped at the Princess of WALES'S house In
St. Alban's-street, where her MAJESTY and the other
Princesses were in readiness to receive them. We are
extremely sorry to state, that the Princess AMELIA
appeared very unwell and feeble, so much so, that she
was carried from the carriage into the house wrapped
up in blankets. The QUEEN and the rest of the Royal
Family left her Royal Highness a little before four
o'clock, for the Castle. About five o'clock, his MA-
JESTY visited her Royal Highness, and remained with
her till past six. The Princess AMELIA, we under-
stand, will remain at the house in St. Alban's-street,
on account of its being very quiet.
On Tuesday evening was given by Mr. G Erman, at
his house, in Foley-place, a most elegant ball and sup-
per. Considering the time of the year, it was most
fashionably attended. The dancing was kept up
with great spirit until one o'clock, when supper was
announced, which equalled, if not surpassed, any we
have witnessed for some time. The dancing recoui-
menced at half past two, and it was five before all
the company departed.

NAPLES, OCTOBER 14.

The Neapolitan privateer, the Gallo, has taken the
nglish cutter the Success, bound from Liverpool
for Messina. This vessel had arrived on the 12th of
September at Gibraltar, whence she again sailed on
tie Nth. The Sieur Viale, Sicilian Agent at Gib-
raltar, availed himself of this opportunity to send
poromt dispatches to his Court, and a great number
of private letters, destined for Malta and Palermo.
All these papers, which the English Captain had not
tate to throw overboard, fell into the hands of the
Neapolitans. They shew the present situation of
the insurgents in Spain, and what advantages they
hare derived from their alliance with England.
The relics of these insurgents are exposed to all the
disorders of anarchy. All the provinces subject to
the yoke of the Junta of Seville demand a new go-
*eminent. Every day is parked by some sangui-
net' tumult ; every day produces some new satire
against the present rulers. Add to this, the dissen-
tars berween the members of the Junta, the inexpe-
time of many of them, and the ambition of all. So
many evils have rendered a different order of things
absolutely necessary. The people have required the
fiemation of a regency—the Junta has been obliged
mcomply, and on the Ist of September the Cortes
met to elect a Regent.
When the Success left Gibraltar, nothing was yet
decided ; there were as many competitors as parties ;
and they could not agree on whom to confer the dan-
gerous post of conducting affairs in their present des-
perate situation.
Several Members of the Junta have resigned ; and,
among the rest, M. Garay, who was at the head of
the Department for Foreig Affairs.
According to the Seville Gazettes, found on board
of the English cutter, the battle of Talavera has in-
creased to the highest pitch the confusion which pre-
vaas in the south of that unfortunate country. The
Spanish Generals mutually accuse each other of
haring betrayed the common cause. Cuesta andVe-
negas pretend that General O'Donoghue acquainted
Marshal Jourdan with the force and position of the
Spaniards. Wellesley complains of all the Spanish
Generals, who abandoned him at the critical moment.
He has withdrawn from the insurgents, and retreated
towards Portugal. The enraged people have compel-
ler' Cuesta to yield the command to Ecuya.
Such was, on the 19th of September, the situation
of that unhappy country—where the English have
armed the citizens against each other—where they
have spread universal desolation and death ; and,
here they will terminate their horrible career by al
aicgracetul flight.
The Captain of the Gallo having learned that the
Sucr_,:ls was formerly an Imperial French ship, has
rn ide a present cf it to his Majesty the King, who
has ordered that this cutter, which carries six guns,
:rot ltl be fitted for service.
PRIVATE LEITER.—VIENNA, OCTOBER 19. * • -
The blowing up of the French works in this city
and its vicinity, notwithstanding what you will see
stated in our papers, did not a little damage. Many
liouse'; were seriously injured, and upwards of fifty
persons were killed. Thus the labours of months
have been destroyed in a moment.
None of the armies, either French, Russian, or
Austrian, have made any considerable movements ;
and it is not expected that the French will retire until
the ettJ of this month. The disbanding of the Ad-
ttrian forces, or the greater part of them is much
Liked of.

The people of Vienna and other towns are more
plcated at the conclusion of the treaty, than if the war
iLid been recommenced. So blind are they to their
sub,tantial interest.
'HI' Emperor Francis is expected soon to return to
capital, but as yet he remains at 'rods.

Drt.L.—Sunday evening, a duel was fought, op-
Pr6it'-! to Sand Castle, between Lieutenant YEattorr,
nt his Majesty's sloop BEAVER, and Mr. COLLYER,
rtlner of the said sloop ; shots were exchanged by
the parties, when the seconds interfered. We under-
tatiLl that the occasion of the above meeting was
in consequence of a dispute between the parties a few
days previous to their arriving in England.
