Left night a nautical after-piece,from the French,
entitled, The ape: ; or, The Water-carrier; was
performed for the firft time, and, upon the whole,
rather favourably received. It is a mere trifle,
which, to render refponfible to the laws of criti-
ilia', were to break a butterfly upon a wheel."
the Rory is limply that of an objea of nate per-
iecution, after feyeral hair-breadth efcapes, find-
ing relief by. the !tale flag,: trick of a pardon,
the pantomime bufinefs of which runs through
what are are called three parts, confining alto-
gether of juft as many fcenes ; the whole a vehi-
cle for Ilithe mulic by ClilitUßlNl rather pretty
than otlievirire ; but the great decd of the piece
is want of tingle tongs, of which there is only one
given to Towessen.—lticLatiox, ILIA., Mils
DIXON, Mils WHEATLIY, ma's HOV7ILLS, and the
reit, are all engaged in trio, quartetto, and chorus
tinging. What there is of comic :lining is entirely
with hawcerr, who may be raid to have made
fometking of talking. A majority of voices were,
however, in favour of this bagatelle, on its being
given out for a future reprefentation. The fcenery
of it is good, %slat there is of it.

We are truly concerned to Rate, that Mr. Cot.
cky NOUN, one of the Police Magifirates of Queen
fquare, Weftminiter, had the misfortune to fal •
down, on Saturday evening:in Petty France, and
to break one of his legs, tmmediately above the
ancle.

We learn that feveral public difpatches to and
from Lord Costawm.i.ss, which were intercepted
in the time of his government, by the late Tit roo
Sinre'om, have fince been difcovered in the

(hips, fo'r the infpeaton of the Court of Direaors
Many of the above letters were of the uttnolt • im

were (topped, it was attributed to be the aft of
private marauders.
lllDlaNews.—The late accounts froni the army
of Col. S-rer H Eason are lets fatisfaaory thati were
expefted t his propels in the Wynaad country
having, from the formidable defences of the end-
my, been very tardy. It having been reprefented
by a deferter, that the infurgents having been dif-
appointed of an etpefted fupply of military (torts,
were athongft other articles, neatly deftitute of
powder, it was deemed expedient to attack them.
Col. Sieritemsom accordingly advinted a ftrOng
crrps, during the night, and attacked the enemy's
potition, but found that the main body had retired
to the hills, leaving only a corps to defend the paf-
fes • and this guard having, in a short time, ex-
pended all their ammunition, furrendered at dif-
cietion.

The laft dl4iatches from Sir G. Lamm, at Prince
of Wales's Bland, give the moft favourable ac-
contra of thelrbOrovements and cultivation of that
ifland. They have received ibrne very effential
fupplits from '.Wrida ; and the natives are not only
in the moft perfid Rate of fuborciination. but ex-
prefs every fentiment of gratitude on the late re-
gulations which have to materially ameliorated
-their former condition.

Acrohnts from Mocalbedabad (late, that the
mortality which had fome-time fiuce prevailed at
that place had generally fubfided, in confequence
of draining the marches in that neighbourhood,
from the putrid effluvia of which the faculty judg

v. olent forms which have vifited the coaft, it had
e perienced a flight !hock of an earthquake, which,
aided to the riling of the rivers, had (wept away
the dams, and daroyed many of the public works:

ployed as Coon as the return of feafonable weather

dations in 'the jungles, that tigers and other ani-
mals were found in the beds of Mallow rivers when
the waters began to fubfide : but we are happy to
hear that few human lives have been 1011.

Friday fe'nnight a line of keels was moored
acrofs the Tyne, at the Narrows, hear Clifford's
Fort, and deals laid acrofs them from (bore to
(bore. After carefully examining this extraordi-
nary highway, Lord Mu t.c Ravi mounted his
charger, and, accompanied by General Mu ita •y,
Major RERAN, and other officers, rode over from
the county of Durham to Northumberland. Major
HERON then galloped back again. Soon after,
LorcllduLca*va marched the eft regiment of
Royal Lane:Aire militia, (accompanied by, their
field-pieces and ammunition waggons) from Tyne-
mouth barracks over this bridge to the Herd-
Sands, when an aellon took place again(' a fup-
pored enemy; at the fame time feverai (hells were
fired from a battery near the Black Middings,
which had a fine effect. The troops were then
marched back again, and Major Haltom, (after
firing three elope vollies,) marched the bomb-
Shields Volunteers into Northumberland. The
adjacent banks and hills were covered with fpcait-
tors to the number of more than ten thouland,
who retired highly gratified witls a light fo novel
and wonderful.

Dr. YouNc.—The melancholy event which be-
fit this ingenious Poet at Montpellier, in the death
of his daughter, and the manner in which he was
treated by the Priells, who refufed to suffer her to
be buried in fanetified ground, are well known.—
The Doitor was compelled to dig, with the All-
ance of his fervants, a grave for her r,tnains. Of
this event he has himfeif given a very affelting ac-
count in his NO, Tbokittr, No. 3. This injury
done to the feelings of YouNo upon this occafion
has been atoned, as far as atonement can be af-
forded, by two French players. TALMA and Ma-
dame Party, who are now both at Montpellier,
enjoying a large (hare of public applaufe, have
canted the body of the young Narciffa to be dug
up from the Botanical Garden of Montpellier,
where it was buried, and have interred it in a firn-
ple manner, with a plain, but elegant monument,
at their own expoacs.
