Soon after the commencement of the fourth Act
of the Play (The Heir at Law), the tables were en-
tirely turned in favour of the popular party : the
whole house was completely occupied, and the cla-
mour was so loud that nothing more of the business
of the stage was heard or attended to till the end of
the Farce (The Padlock). All the fighting men
were thrown in the back ground, and placards were
exhibited as usual, but being confined to the pit,
they could not be displayed to much advantage ;
hand-bills were also showered down from the boxes
by thousands, and caught up with enthusiasm. The
cry of victory was raised by the popular party, and
it was not subdued till the Theatre was cleared ; as
usual, about an hour after the close of the perform-
ance. Some persons stationed in the out-posts of the
patriotic army were made prisoners, but the centre
remained firm, and kept possession of the field.
A few speeches were made, but not well heard ;
they recommended perseverance, and gave an assu-
rance of final success. Three cheers were the signal
of final departure, which was conducted with perfect
order.

A more than usual number of females, we will not
say ladies, were present—the gentlemen, of both parties,
it was difficult to discriminate. The placards of the
evening exhibited the following inscriptions :

11 Fair play and fair prices."'
" Oppose Shyluck and the Jews."
" No hired Ruffians, Boxers or Thicftakers to insult the public."
"No wonder the POST condemns JOHN BULL'S Placards,
when it lies, thick and thin, in support of Jew Blackguards."
The following whimsical jet: d'esprit, in the shape
of a play-bill, was handed about the house:—

We have received Paris letters and papers to the

Guards of Honour are forming at Antwerp, Lisle,
and Ghent, in expectation of a visit from his Majesty

.EYDEN, OCTOBER 6.
An article in the Paris Papers of the Ist inst. says:
—.-Ag With regard to the question of peace or war, we
are still in the same state of uncertainty. The ad-
vices, or, more properly speaking, the rumours upon
that important subject, vary daily. It is certain that
on the 21. th ult. the Emperor had not left Schoen-

brunn, and that a very active correspondence conti-
nued between the Emperors Napoleon and Francis.

It is furth?r stated, that General' Bubna returned to

Schoenbrunn on the 22d."

LISLE, .SEPT. 29.

The Prefect of the North taking into consideration
that his Majesty the Emperor Napoleon will most
probably soon honour wish his presence his good city
of Lisle, and being desirous of affording its inhabi-
tants an opportunity of giving fresh proofs of at-
tachment to his Majesty's person, has ordered a regi-
ster to be opened at the town-house for the signatures
of those who may be disposed to serve in a guard of
honour, both of cavalry and infantry.
