to Ligny, which is now the head-quarters of all the
troops in the field. The grand reviews are fixed for

re picked out who are the most.proper to be sent
`'back
to England, kind this. con%ibtfies to keep up the
report of the approachingdiminution of the Army Of
Occupation, of which the last_lettars from Lille speak
with confidence, on the authority of credible accounts
from Paris,• which fix the month of October as the
time when the diminution will be effected.
The number of French refugees, who, though not
included in the Royal Chdonnances, have received
an order to quit tke kingdom of the Netherlands,
amounts to seventeen, and to.morrow the time which
was grAnted them to remain will expire. Within
these tew days the Police has been very active in
seeing to the execution of this measure, which seems
to have been caused by urgent circumstances. The
tiltorb,us Melee de la Touche, who was placed un-
der a strict guard, is already gone.

BURNING OF BERLIN THEATRE.
(Front a Gesuun Paper.)

llYnTliv.K PARTICULARS.

Many opinions are entertained by the public con-
eernin.•'. the Theatre which was in a few hours a prey
to the fi imeF. It is presumed that the fire was inten-
tional, and this conjecture is founded on the circum-
stance tlitat, two hours before the fire broke out, some
stranger; had shown themselves about the Theatre.
A Committee went the same day to the public-
houses .trid inns situated in the Gensql'arraes-square,
and questioned the landlords concerning the stran-
gers who had been with them, and thimediately
noted down the names of those whom the landlords
knew. Till now twelve suspicious persons have been
arrestel, among whom is the p:rson who conducted
the above mentioned strangers. A strict inquiry will
be :wide into the affair.
A Jewish banker here has: attain° Count bruhl.
the Intendant of the 'rhea*, a large- sum of money
without interest, for the tiutpose of purchasing a
wardrobe and scenerf. Tia.snaoke still rises from
the ruins at the Theatre.
A young actor, lately arrived here, of the name of
Carlsberg, was missed from the beginning, and sup-
posed to have lost his way in the smoke, and from
the contusion of the moment. Yesterday part of his
skeleton was found. His wife, on the point of lying-
in with her third child, is supported by some humane
indiv duals.

The fire broke out while tic actors were rehearsing
8:11:110'. Robber:, about half-past twelve at noon.
This Theatre was begun. not twenty years ago, under
King Fiedipck William 111. and opened on the Ist
of dinuary. 1802. The edifice formed a parallelo-
gram, 244 fet long, 155 feet broad, and 155 feet
hieh, within the walls. It had twelve entrances.
There were three rows of bosea, the fourth tier being
the gallery which ran all round.. The royal box,
elegantly decorated and lighted, was ot the height of
two rows of boxes, and occupied, in the form of a
niche, the centre of the !muse, directly opposite the
stage. An. they royal bia was on the lett hand, next
the di e ; and opposite that a box for strangers.
Fri.rn the centre of the roof hung a lustre with thirty-
six are..nd lamps. The whole house could contatn
two thousand spec ators.—Besides the rooms for the
Fainting, ler the scenery, &t. %%Wei were at the top
of the house, there were on the north side several
saloons and rout): for festal occasions, particularly a
concert room of unrivalled beauty and magnifi
cence, which was opened on the 24.01 of February,
181;3, with Haydn's Creation : it could contain,
including the performers, one thousand persons.—
This fine building. with the admirable scenery, with
a wardrobe. perhaps unequalled in magnificence and
completeness, with an immense timintity of music, the
loss of part of which can never be repaired, and with
the most excellent machinery.. was soaomplettly de.
stroyed in a few hours, that nothing absolutely emild
be saved but a few boards andiberiehes. The first
notice of the fire was by the performers being sud-
denly involved in smoke, and a burning curtain failing
down among them.
His Royal Highness Prince William, Count Binh',
and all the Military Authorities. the Police, &c. &c.
gave the most striking ezansples of intrepidity, and
no disorder or further misfortune took place.
