LIX-LA-CIIAPELIF, JULY 30.

His I lighness Prince IlArdenberg, the Grand Chan-
cellor of State, arrived'here yesterday, with the Prin-
cess, his consort. To-day, after having viewed the
Hotel of Bellendorff, which is preparing for his High-
ness's residence during the Congress, they proceeded
to Spa, where they will make some stay.

The number of visitors who resort hither continues
to increase ;,we remark a great many Officers of
rank, of various nations. The numbs.: of strangers
iascribed on the list, up to 30th July, is 1491.
Prince Hardenberg has placed a sum of 13,000
francs at the disposition of the President of the Re-
gency, with the promise of a farther sum, if it should
be necessary, to continue the works that are begun in
this.city, and put it in a condition to receive the il-
lustrious guests who are expected.
There are very different opinions respecting the
duration of the Congress. The fact is, that the ho-1
tels have been hired for two months, with a stipula-
tion for a sum in proportion, in case the stay of our
illustrious guests should be prolonged.

Tim Mite or GLiii;cesiFf:,—..l letter from Brest,
dated the 29th tilt. states. that on the 27th a frigate
entered the Roads, having on board his Royal High-
ne,s the Duke of Gt.ovceseen. After a salute from
the batteries this Prince landed, and was received,
with acclamations by a numerous assemblage. He
was escorted to the Hotel of the Commandant of the
Naval Forces. Next morning, the Officers of the
garrison, at the head of whom were the Generals
Count d'lllovEttse and Baron de Goour.LAr, with
the Civil and Administrative Authorities, were pre-
sented to his Royal Highness, who conversed with
them in the most affable manner. In the course of
the day, the Prince reviewed the troops and artillery
of the marine, and expressed his satisfaction at their
fine appearance; and the precision of their =tutu-
. vres. A sumptuous dinner was given by Count Goya-
, DON, at whicl‘were present all the distinguished per-
sonages of the place. In the evening his Royal High-
' ness went to the Theatre, accompanied by the Mayor
and Chiefs of the different Authorities. The orches-
tra played the English air of " Gan save the Kin,"
and immediately after, e Vise Henri IV." The august
traveller, on every occasion, expressed his lively sense
of the kind reception he met with in this town.

ENGLISH OPERA.—Last night, after the Opera of
The Americans, that of The Drq.rter f Naples was
pel formed for the first time this season. Mr. T. P.
Coosce undertook the part of Henry, in which he
was extremely well received. He particularly dis-
tintorished himself in the combat scene, which con-
cludes the first act. Mr. W. S. CrIATTERLEY ap-
peared as Skirmish, the drunken character of which
Musnats used to make so much. Under all the dis-
advantages of such a recollection he acquitted him-
self in a very respectable manner. NIT. Waxixsos's
Simplissafforded great amusement, and Miss KitaLises
Lass.isa possessed all the energy and feeling which this
admit able actress possesses an so eminent a degree,
and exercises upon all occasions when she is presented
nith an opportunity. Thehouse was well attended.

Miss Pors.-.-It is a-remarkable circumstance in
the theatrical career of the late' celebrated MisrPops,
that during a period of more than half a centurl 4w
remained constant to the boards of Drury-lane, and,
with the exception of a season at Dublin. and one at
Liverpool, never performed at any other theatre.—As
a child, she was distinguished by Gmister, and we
believe she may with truth be considered as the last
of his school.

Tuesday evening, a large assemblage of persons
took place in Catherine-street, Strand, for upwards
of four hours, nearly preventing the passing of car-
riages, &c. It seems that a private Theatre is there
situated, known by the name or the Minor Theatre,
in which apprentice boys and girls idle away the time
of their masters and mistresses, to the- injury of their
morals, and the great annoyance of the neighbour-
hood. On the evening mentioned, a performance
took place, when, as is said to be usual, more tickets
were issued than the building could possibly contain.
Those who were so fortunate as to arrive early pro-
cured seats, leaving those who did not take that pre-
caution destitute of accommodation. The number
thus disappointed w•ac great ; and, to prevent their
admission, all the entrances were made fast, which
served to irritate the rabble. A violent attack on the
doors took place with stones, which were ready to the
assailants hands in consequence of the Saviors being
at work in the street, accompanied by loud shouts,
and which continued at intervals till past twelve
o'clock. Several boxing-matches occurred, at which
the, faits Guardians of the Night looked on with a
cool and determined composure, apparently consider-
, ing it improper to interfere.

PARISIAN FA suloms.—Gauze hats are very pre-
valent ; they are generally bordered either with woke;
,noaths or plaits. Instead of chased flowers at the
borders, there are often ordinary wreaths. Some
mot/ides make their bonnets of citron crape, trimmed.
with Scots or plaid ribbon. The flower of the service
tree is one of those in most general use. They shape
the long hair into several folds in order to abridge its
length, and place light weights at the end of each
ringlet, to make it lie close, enlarging the toupet at
the same time ; by which means, the bottom of hats
appear narrotrer, without their set or direction being
the more vertical, because the hair is fastened toge-
ther at the back part, instead of the top of the head.
The cornets are now made to come very low. The
trains of robes are also made longer than ordinary,
and the ends of the girdles are made very broad.
FLORID:CR, JULY ls.—At the great Exhibition of
the Fine Arts, at this Court, were displayed the casts
of the marbles which Lord ELGIN brought from the
Temple of MINRRVA, at Athens, called the Pantile-,
non, and which now form the principal ornaments of
the National Museum of England. These casts are
a present from the Patna RISGENT of ESGLAND, to
our Sovereign ; in return for which, several of the'
finest Statues of our celebrated Gallery, are to be
modelled, and sent to his Royal Highr.ess the Pa sc E
Rzoasrr of Great Britain. • Among them is the cele-
brated pof thong and her children. It is owing
to the Coy of Great Britain, his Excellency Loid
Btraosslasn, that the above valuable exchanges in
the Fine Arts have taken place ; i h kik.rt, it was the
patriotism and love of science., for which this excel-
lent bloblesnassisfa couch and so justly disSr.ge i she 1.
