NArdL INTELLIGENCE:

FALMOUTH, DECEMBER 13.
Arrived the Princess Charlotte packet in MR dayi
from Lisbon.

PLI-LIOCTIi DOCK, bre. :4.

There were -no arrivals nor sailings this day.—
Half past five P. M.— It now blows quite a hurricane.
The GIBRALTAR, t f 80 guns, attempted to get under
weigh this forenoon, but anchored again by signal ;
she was going to relieve the Dlttf•ottn, of ;4, guns, at
Rochefort. The Onts-re.s sloop got under weigh
this afternoon, bound on a cruize, but was forced to
put back.—The melancholy tidings have just arrived
here, that the HUSSAR frigate, of 38 guns, Captain
Sxexs, which sailed from this port on Tuesday se'n-
night, and put into Torbay the day following, on her
way to resume her station off Guernsey, has been
-A-reeked on that rocky coast, and all hands perished,
with the excep:ion of three persons. No official account
has been received of this drea.!ful disaster ; but it
rests on such a foundation as not to be discredited.—
The intelligence WAS brought by a vessel arrived. this
day at Ca sand. The HUSSAR was a very fine fri-
gate, and had just had a thorough reit in our bar-
b:mr ; she was admirably well appointed, in respect
to both oili:ers and men, and sailed with a fine crew
of 300 bravci s: amen. She is the second or third ves-
sel of the same name that has been lost in our ser-
vice : the FcciAing Hussar was lost on the coast of
Fran:•e.—Fears are entertained for the safety of the
INTELLIGENT gun brig, which sailed from Portsmouth
for this place on Monday se'nnight, but has not since
been heard of ; she may, however, have put into
some other port up Channel.—Wind strong at S.W.

COVEIVT.GARDEN THEATRE. •

A reconciliation between the proprietors and the
public was at length happily effected last night. From •
what passed on the preceding day a general expecta..
tion arose that all differences would be adjusted • yes-
terday evening, which was strengthened by the an-
nouncement of Mr. KENIBLE to play the character of
Penruddoch in The 1111wel of Fortune. Great interest
was thus excited in the public mirfd, and the theatre'
was crowded at an early hour. For some time be-
fore the curtain drew up, not a place was to be had in
the boxes, and scarcely standing rivrn was left in the
pit ; the galleries were equally crowded. The sum
taken at the doors must have been very great, very
few orders being admitted.
Previous to the drawing up cf the curtain, a Gen-
tleman rose in the pit, and addressed the audience for
the purpose of stating that a letter would be handed
to Mr. Kemble, demanding the dismission of Mr.
James Brandon, and that in the apology to be made'
on the part of the managers, the words-" shameful
conduct" should be introauced instead of " irregulari-
ties." This address was received with considerable
applause. Another Gentleman alto spoke from one
of the lower boxes, demanding an apology, for the
rufianism, as he said, with which thti-audience
had been treated. u GOD save the King" was
then called for ; the orchestra obeyed the call, and
this national anthem was very finely and inipressively
sang by some amateurs, the whole audience standing
and joining. in the chords.
The curtain at length drew up, and to those who have
been in the habit of-attending this Theatre during the
prevalence of the storms by which it has been so long
:17.,ritated, a remarkable diff,rence was displayed in the
appearance of the house. The pit took their seats aiia
palled off their hats, except some at the back of it,
who, from its crowded state, were obliged to stand;
but those also took off their hats. The company in
the boxes were all likewise seated, except at the very
back rows, and the doors kept shut. Tne whole house
displayed the utmost desire to attend to what was
about to be offered to them.

It was of course expected, that the first business on
the stage would have been an address to the audience '
by Mr. Kemble ; but Blanchard coming on in charac-
ter, add the play appearing to be proceeding, great
discontent arose, and a bud cry was uttered for Mr.
Kemble. Mr. Kenible immediately came forward,
and " Brandon's discharge" was loudly vociferated
from the pit ; at the same time, a paper, we sup-
pose the same that had been previously alluded to,
was handed to Mr. Kemble, by a Gentleman in the
pit. Some time eltpsed before silence could be ob-
tilined-=Mr. Kemble thea said, " Ladies and Gentle-
men, I have to inform you," some trifling intertup-
tion
then took place, and loud cries of ' silence,' for
some time prevented silence from taking place. Mr.
Kemble at length resumed his address, and proceeded
to say, " that, in compliance with your wishes, Mr.
James Brandon has withdrawn from the office of
Box-keeper to this Theatre." Loud huzzas and-
waving of hats followed this announcement, and Mr.
Kemble bowed and retired.

It now appeared, however, that he had only
executed halt of what was expected from him, an
apology for the recent conduct of the propr:etors,
being deemed by the audience absolutely necessary.
Apology" was theretore loudly called for, and the
call not being immediately complied with, a most
inharmonious concert of hisses, groans,.and vocifera-
tips was the consequence. Two or- three persons at-
tempted the 0. P. dance, but a general hiss, and
loud cries of " shame," " shame," almost immedi-
ately deterred them from continuing it. A Gentle-
man repeatedly addressed The audience from one of
the lower boxes, for the purpose, as well as we could
understand through the medium of noise in which
his words were enveloped, of impressing upon them
the necessity of insisting upon an apology. In the
mean time the first act of the play was proceeding in
dumb shew, not a word of it being heard. At length
Mr. Tegg addressed the audience from the lower
boxes, and stated, that some conversation had been
had with Mr. Kemble, and eh it an apology would
immediately be made. This statement was received
with considerable applause ; but the noise continued
during the remainder of the act.
At its conclusion Mr. Kemble again came forward
and said-46 Ladies and Gentlemen, I understand
that offence has been given by the introduction of im-
propfr persons into the Theatre during the late dis-
