HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The Beggar's Opera was repeated last night, when Miss PA TOY
being unable to play Polly from indisposition, the part was very
creditably represented by Mrs. T. HILL. The second piece was
Killing no Murder, in which a ludicrous accident happened to Is sros,
in his duet with Mater. While *hewing off the graces and pi.
roucttes of Apollo 2ibtoi, he performed one evolution which brought
him, contrary to his intention. in contact with the ground. lie re-
covered his legs with much agility, and to evince a carelessness of
the accident. he went on cutting his rapers with increased vigour,
not perceiving that an " enormous breach" had been effected in his
tights. • In the midst of the loudest shouts of laughter be was cons-
pelted to come hack and repeat the duet ; and wls‘a he entered with
a ha idkerchief dangling before the gaping aperture, the scene was
ludicrous even beyond the reach of his own matchless comic powers.
Me performances concluded with the successful little Comedy of
Jlnrried find Single.

If we may believe a rumour which is in circulation
in Paris, a Royal Ordonnance is about to appear, to
prorogue till December next the Session of 1824. It is
adder, that that of 1825 will open on the 6th of Ja- '
unary following, so that there will be an interval of
only a few days between the two Sessions.
We have received a Greek paper published at Misso-
longhi on the 10th of May. It contains the decree of
the Provisional Government, ordering the sth of May
to be kept as a day of general mourning throughout all
Gteece, for the death of Lord BYRON. It appears, how-
ever, that this ordet did not reach Missolonghi until
after the appointed day. NIAUROCORDATO therefore
issued a dee' e:! directing the 11th of May to be kept as
a day of mourning, with the same ceremonies as had
been ordered for the sth.
Letters dated the sth of June were received yesterday
from Alvarado; et which time that part of Mexico was
tranqail, and the latest accounts from the capital favour-
able. A letter from the city of Mexico, dated May 6,
states that a communication from hunatne had been
recei:t. .1 by the Congt ess, in which he ~ offers them his
swore: against the Holy Alliance, and declares that as
soon :is he shall receive their authority, he will hasten
to def-rd his country, well supplied with arms, cloth-
ing, And ammunition." The Congress had resolved to
publi.l) his letter, accompanied by the decree which de-
clared him a traitor and placed him out of the protec-
tion of the law, if he should ever thew himself on the
Mexican territot y.
We learn from Warsaw, that the Vistula, having risen
twelve feet above its greatest usual elevation, has over-
A 'wed and occasioned great damage.
Letters have been received from Batavia, dated the
26th of March. The General Knock brig, which had
been captured by the Malay pirates, near Batavia, was
burnt at Borneo. Mr. THORNTON, Supercargo, was still
at the island of Retty, and the Malays continued to de-
mand 40,000 dollars as a ransom, but his friends were
he,itating as to the prop) iety of giving such an unrea-
sonable and exorbitant sum ; and by holding out it was
expected he would soon be restored to his friends.
JOSEPH LANCASTER has arrived at Caraccas, to su-
perintend the formation of schools upon his own sp.
tern. The Provinces which have formed the confedera-
tion of Central America, contain a population of upwards
of 1,500,000 persons; and by the last accounts, the Pro-
vince of Chiapa, containing 800,000 more, was about
to join them.
