Mr. LABOUCHERE, of the House of Messrs. HOPE
and Co. of Amsterdam, arrived in Town this morn-
ing ; he sailed from the Maese on Saturday last.—
This is the same Gentleman who came charged with
a Mission from the Dutch Government to this
Country, during the time of King Lows. Whether
his present visit is of a political or a commercial na-
spit has not yet transpired.

The Cabinet Ministers dined yesterday with the
Earl of LIVERPOOL.

ANOTHER FLAG OF TRUCE.

" DOVER, APRIL '29.

This afternoon another Flag of Truce arrived
here from Calais, with au Officer and Dispatches ;
and Lieutenant LITTLE, the Commander of the
CHARLES schooner, has gone over to Deal to the Ad-
miral, with the dispatches, and the French Officer is
at present on board the CHARLES. This arrival is
no doubt a reply to the dispatches which were for-
warded from Deal to Calais on Friday last."

General SARRAZIN, we understand, wrote a letter
on Monday to a ship-broker, requesting him to pro-
vide a passage for.him to Sweden • and at the same
time informing him, that he could not obtain a pass-
port from the British Government. The Gentleman
to whom the letter was addressed very properly com-
municated its contents to Ministers.
The sentiments in the Address from the Loyal
and Independent Livery, to be presented to the
PRINCE REGENT, are well worthy of that truly re-
spectable body, and is a gratifying contrast to the
one presented at the Levee on Tuesday. It were to
be wished that a copy should be sent to every part of
the British Empire, as it would tend to shew what is
the real opinion of the Liverymen of London at this
critical juncture, who have manifested on all occa-
sions their determination to support the Government
of their Country. The signatures now exceed 1400,
and it will remain a few days longer at the London
Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, and London Coffee-
House, Ludgate-hill.
The Ticket No. 7205, drawn this day a Prize of
£15,000, was sold at Messrs. HAZARD, BURNE, and
Co.'s Office, Royal Exchange.
This day the LOTTERY began drawing. No.
5518, a Prize of £lO,OOO, was sold in Two Quarters
and Eight Sixteenths-11518, a Prize of £5OOO, in
One Half and Eight Sixteenths; also, 11433, a Prize

COVENT- GARDEN THEKTRE.—In unhooding the
Duke, disguised as a' Friar, tovigards the close of the
play of Measure for Measure, on Tuesday evening,
Mr. Keson.E's wig fell on the stage. The circum-
stance occasioned a momentary burst of laughter ,1
from the audience—all of whom were delighted with
the transcendent abilities of Mrs. SIDDONS in Isabella,
and the fine acting of her brothers, JOHN and CHARLES
RESIBLE, in the Characters of the Duke and Claudio.—
It is painful, however, to add, that either from the
unfavourable state of the weather, or a falling off in
the public taste, the boxes, even at half-price, were
half empty !
The late performance of Dr. Cnorcn's new Ora-
torio of Pakitins, was crowned with the most brilliant
success. The rooms were never known to be so full.
The Tickets were all disposed of early on ;Tuesday
morning, but till the rooms were completely filled
the company would not be refused admission, and
many were afterwards disappointed of hearing this
performance. Every part of the Oratorio was highly
approved, and at the conclusion the Composer was
loudly called upols to repeat the whole, which we
hear he will do on May 26th.
Yesterday, a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when Captain JAMES Ross, of the
ship CARMARTHEN, took leave previous to departing
for Madras and Bengal.
By recent advices from Paris, it appears to be the
intention of the French Government to supersede the
necessity of the usual licences, and open the ports
through the whole range of coast from St. Maloes to
Antwerp. Whether this purposed arrangement be to
be attributed to the well known abuses with regard
to licences in France, or to the keen appetite of Bo-
NAPARTE to encourage the trade with this country, is
doubtful, but it is certain that by such means, a ma-

ANOTHER LETTER.
" DOVER, APRIL 29.

eg The CHARLES hired armed schooner, Liet:tenant
LITTLE, this afternoon, about four o'clock, picked ,
up a small French boat, bearing 4 flag of Truce, !,
and having an Officer on board with dispatches from ,
his Government to this. Lieutenant LITTLE landed
the dispatches immediately, and set off with them in
a chaise and four from the maiLcoach office to Deal,
from whence they will be forwarded by the Port
Admiral to London. The French Officer is detained
for the present on board the schooner, which of
course prevents us learning any intelligence."
Stocks lose one per cent. this morning, in conse-
quence of the arrival of the above intelligence.

french Papers to the 26th instant arrived in Town
list night. They are still silent on the subject of
BONAPARTeS departure for the North, and the intel.l
ipnce they convey is absolutely of no importance.
Private Letters of, the 24th, however, which we have
yea, state positively, that the departure of the Eat-
'DIOR had taken place, and aLIJ, what we surmized
Yesterday, that it was kept a profound secret. We
sic also informed, from the same source, that Mr.
lianow, the American Ambassador at Paris, is
Deiced with great neglect, if not contempt. He has
Baden progress whatever in the objects of his MiS•
sion, nor has be the least prospect of obtaining resti-
ttttion of the valuable American property, which it
was the first object of his mission to obtain.
A plot has been discovered at Paris between the
War Department and the Russian Legation. In con.
. sequence of some treasonable communications, four
clerks of that department have been brought to trial,
and one of them has been sentenced to receive capital
punishment. Another (M. Smarr) has been amerced
in the sum of 600 francs, and exposed to the disgrace
of the iron collar during one hour.

We have seen some letters from Sweden, received
by the Anholt Mail of yesterday. Those from Stock.i
habit are dated on the 17th, and from Gottenburghl
on the 21st inst. They say nothing about prepara.
tions for hostilities, but on the contrary, state it to be
the determination of the Court of Sweden to preserve
a strict neutrality. It is worthy of remark, that the
precautionary measures adopted by the Board of
Trade, to secure British properties from falling into
the hands of the Swedes, should have been resolved
on after the receipt of the fist dispatches from Mr.
TaORN lON, which are now understood not to have
teen of a very encouraging aspect,.
