LATE MAnulAoa.—Without pretending to vouch
for the perfect accuracy of certain rumours n4w in

circulation in high life, we lay the Eubjoined .state.
ment before our Readers, on the authority of a Morn:
ing Paper : .
44 On the subjeceof a recent.nlrriage, some ww
dotes ate mentioned in the highest circles of a curing's .
nature. A correspondence took place between some .
illustrious persons, the substance of which is freely
spoken of, and which one of the parties has threatened
to publish. The story is, that when an illu.trious per.
snnage announced an irrevocable determinaticn rv:t
to receive the Lady at her house, nor tl countenance

the marriage by lier presence, a proposal was sub-
mitted to her 11, tire high person, who had commit-
ted himself too far to retreat, drat if she woula so far

relax, as to give en: nett of her kindness, 11 writing a
letter, wllich should I.lcit.itate the Lady's introduction

at forri,ts Court:, a r.olclna pledge would be given, that
the Lady should not come to England, to take ad-
vantage of any civil expressions that mien be used in.
her favour.. This was agreed to, and. a •v: ry kind
letter was written to the husband of the dist:nguislwd
stranger. Soon after this,.hov.ever, to the aston.s'i-
Inent of the writer, a report came to her ears of ttio
resolution °him Bridegfoom to bring his Bide to
England, contrary to the express unticrst.:od :t.;,1.1 a.

tion. Upon which a second letter W ;IS mitten, dis-
tinctly declaring, • that nothing should make the pt;.
!ion depart from the first resolut;on, and espresurg
considerable uneminess at being subjected to such 4
course by the disingenuous Practice that had ucen re-
sorted to. This letter gave r"e to much nit( rt:tt:ono
and ev:n to a threat of publishing the letters, which
even yet may se: the light."
The writer of the tettrs has, it is added; been
strongly urged, by those whose iniluence it *As sup-
posed might pnevnil, to w;thdraw the second letter;
but it is also added, that, in reply, it was argeti, that
every argument proposed to the ‘vithdrawing
of the Jecorttl applied, with equal krce, to the first let-
' ter ; and that, therefore, the one ought, titcessaii4,

to'be withdrawn as well as the otbe r •
" This is not the whole of the curious circum-
stances to which this matter has given rise. h is s4id
that a high Potentate, one of our Allies now et. Peris,
has taken the treatment shewn to his relative in high
disdain ; and that when a British Officer, io the suite
of the Plume RV:ENT, who was lately at 11.11:5 on a
complimentary mission, desired access to his M jesty,
the honour was refused. Nay, it is said, that the ob.
ject of Lord STbWANT'S recent journey to England
had reference to this matter more than to any ap-
proximation towards the settlement of affairs between
the Allies and the French." •
Locos XVIII. AND THE KING `Ol/ PRMIA.'"b
A Morning Paper states that ,4 the Kings of Pitus-
SIA and FRANCE are said to have lately had an ireer-
view, during which Louis XVIII. severely tom-
plained of the conduct of the Prussians towards his
subjects. The Prussian Monarch reminded his Royal
opponent of the oppressions of the French in Berlin
and ether parts of his dominions, dining the long pe-
riod of their successes. The conversation grew werm,
and at last Louis XVIII. positively declared, to !!. if
things cominuAl in that state, all that would remain
fer HIM to do, would be to. constitute h;mse.lf a priso-
ner in the hands of the Allied Powers. To this the
King of riIUSSIA is statud to have replied, that it
might, perhaps, beame necessary to tike such a
step. Qn which the two Monarchs rose, aed broke
up the interview."
ACCIDENT.—This morning, about ,eeen o'clock, as
the workmen wvre employed in pulling d.-iwn some old
houses in Leadenliall Market, one of than suddenly
gave way, and buried an elderly man ( lehourei) in
the ruins. The poor fellow was HOt dug out till ten
o'clock, when he was quite dead.

BONAPARTE'S FATE.,

To boundless Russia's bleak domain,
Vow'd to the modern Caesar's reign,
He fearbd this favpued isles

Ouv *dies brave, oar sailors tree,
With Waturtcrou of Waterloo•

When alt was lost, and factious hate
Had seed the fallen Emperor's fate,

And sought the British shore.
To his devoted Carthage came,
Not as he threatened. bet in shame,
And found In clemency our fame,
Exalted as in war !

Danny-Lane TUEATRIL—The shott vacation has

Mr. 'ILLY directs the music s Mr. 'WRNS is en-
gaged as ballet-master. A new Comedy, an Opera,
and' many new pieces are in active preparation. Se-
veral candidates of most respectable pretensions are
to make first appearances.
HATMARMST......MT. TERRY, who, a few nights
since, made his first- appearance • in Mammies Co.
medy of Tho Man *pie World for his own benefit. re-
peated the character on Saturday evening. Since
CooKE's final reit. this Comedy has been lost to the
Stage. Up to the present time, but two attempts
have been made to act tt the first by Mr. GRANT
( for -Sir Perdue ma
y be considered as the Play), and
the second by Mr., Liz Lewis, both of which failed.
Mr. TERRY, undismayed by their fate, has ventured
to make himself the third candidate for the honour of
sustaining this most arduous character, and his exer-
tions have been crowned with such success that we
consider the Comedy as again placed on the list of
acting Plays. His performance throughout mar be
considered high!), creditable to his talents. The au-
dience, when he left the stage. honoured him with se-
veral rounds of applause, and hailed, with appropriate
enthusiasm, the resurrection of the Man ease World
LYCRUSI.--MiSS KELLY was so far recovered on
Saturday night from her indisposition, as to be able
to appear in the character, which she sustains with so
much ahilig in the captivating little drama, The Maid
end the Magpie. The House was very full, and the
strong sympathy excited for the fate of the unfortu-
nate demise, was as creditable to the moral and dra-
matic taste of those who manifested, as it was ho-
nourable to those who produced it. Tpis Piece may
claim pre-eminence over most things of the kind which
have been produced for some years.
lituortrou, San. 2.—Thursday evening, after the
Comet stage-coach, which bad just arrived from
London, had set down the greater part of its passen-
gers at the Office in C.aule-squate, and was about to
proceed with the remainder to their respective resi-
dences, the coachman, in turning the vehicle too
short, upset it, by which accident Mr. John Walker,
a respectable tradesman of this town. had his left leg
fractured in the most shocking manner. The coach-
man was severely bruised, as were a Gentleman out-
side, and a Lady inside the coach. The same even-
ing, a young lad, servant of Mr. Baker, of Ashington
Common, fell from his master's cart, the wheel of
which past overlis head, and hi was found lying on
the road lifeless near West Grinstead Park. Yester-
day morning, • the body of Boxall, a brazier, in
Nigh street, was•found at the bottom of the cliff, near
Copperas-gap, quite lifeless: it is Supposed that the
unfortunate man, on his way home on Thursday
night, had misted Ins way and fallen over : his neck.
on examivation; proved to be dislocated.
As Gulley was proceeding from London to Brigh-
ton a few days since, he took refreshments at an um
at Reigate. While there, a stage, pretty well loaded,
stopped at the door, when the waiter suddenly ex-
claimed, 44 You are just in time, Gentlemen, Gulley
has just set to.with -the Chichse."—ln an instant the
passengers deserted the coach,•and without ceremony
entered the room into which Gulley had retired, where
they found him, as the waiter bad described, fiercely
attacking a roasted chicken.
At Newhaven, 'a few days since. before a couple,
who had been united in brumes' bonds, had left the
church, the happy bride was taken in labour, and;
on being removed to her house, was delivered of a
fine boy. The christening took place the same day,
to the infinite delight and merriment of the friends 01
