IRtI►NCH PAPERS.

We have this morning received die Path Pi,pers of
Monday last.
A new Tragedy, called Grrmairkut, which was
produced on Saturday night at the Theatre Fran,- s,
Rave rise to a most outrageous disturbance, of sv! •,,:11
some particulars will be found iu our last page. It
the production of a M. AttNot,ur, one of the French
csilcs resident at Brui,cl.. The Government had, '
after: a goou deal of difii,ulty, given its sanction to
she representatrin ; and, among other distinguished
ladividuals, his Highness the Duke of BERM Was
present. At an early hour the house was crowded
to excess, and the representation had scarcely c•nsv-
;reseed, when the opposite political feelings which it
excited began to display, ,themselves in the most violent
manner. They were not expressed by bravos and
plaudits, but by screams and Convulsions—by rage
a, j fury. When the curtain fell, the house ve-
ranoJed with vociferations for the Author. Tatsta
cane tnrwArd, and was about to speak, when seve-
n; hisses became the signal for a scene of the mist
ihanielul violence and confusion • ever witnessed: --
A young officer in uniform was attacked by several
rewns with stick*, and knocked down; he got up,
drew hi. sabre. and suddenly widened the circle
*mad. him. He. was now able to operate a junction
with si:me of his companions; the contest was re•
sewed, and spread ou all sides; Police• Magistrates
er,deavoured in vain to allay the tumult; the getidar-
. merie were at length Introduced, and ultimately suc-
ceeded in restoring order and silence. TALMA then
came forward, and announced that the author of the
Tragedy wished to remain unknown. Hisses and
bravos succeeded ; but the crowd, overawed by the
soldiery, gradually dispersed, without any farther
disturbance.
The Play itself, which has occasioned all this tur-
roil, is described by the Trench critics as one nearly
Llcw mediocrity ; and indebted for the notice which
it kas attracted, solely to its political references. The
design, says one, is vicious, the action nugatory, the
interest !Anguishing, and the style flat, harsh, and
incorrect.

The Chamber of Peers continues still occupied with
the discussioi, of the Budget.
Another Ordinance has b,:en published by Fsaat•
NAND of Spain which fully counterbalances the Ge-
neral Gaol Delivery with which, as we noticed
yesterday, he had distinguished the Anniversary of
his Marriage. It is an Ordinance prohibitory of
certain books, which in his great wisdom FERDINAND
deems improper to come order the purview of his
faithful subjects. The books are divided into two
cl.isbes ; the first comprehending those wi.ich are
prohibited not only to the faithful at large, but even to
those favoured few to whom the Holy Inquisition have
keu in use to grant special licenses to taste of forbid-
den fruit; and the second comprising those books
which are only prohibited to those who have not ob-
tained such licenses. The works in the first class

amount to eight, and are prohibited because of their
being defamatory of the supreme authority of the
Puts, and containing propositions scandalous, Im-
pious, false, seditious, daring, erroneous, blasphe.
mous' schismatic, heretic, &c. &c. &c. Among these
is thelienriade of Voltaire l
The second class contains no less than 47 works—•
and the general pounds of their prohibition are, that
they are possessed by a corrupt and revolutionary
spirit, subversive of Monarchical Government, and
inducive to rebellions against legitimate Sovereigns.
One work, that of M. CONSTANT, on Political Prin.
ciples, is prohibited, on this express ground among
others, that it is " wit'-dogmatic, inducing to schism
and rdisiout toleration" I 1 And another, Judy print-
ed at London. in French, entitled Adelaide and Theo-
dore, or Letters upon Education, is proscribed, with
equal justice, for containing propositions, tna Gonna:etch
captious, false. leading to error, and exciting bad ideas.
The punishment annexed to these prohibitions is
• excommunication and a fine of 200.clucats " to the
;profit of the Holy Offi.ce"-•-of the Apostolic-In,
quisitors against heresy, depravity, and apostacy."

The Committee of Subscribers, for erecting a Mo-
nnment, at Edinburgh, to the memory of the late
Lcrd Matsrus, have fixed upon the north-east cor-
nerof the Calton-hill, exactly overlooking the Ex-
tire Office, and in the lirie cf George-street most
excellent situation for such a structure.

On Tuesday evening last died, at his house in
Bath, aged 83, the Rev. WILLIAM DANIEL. M. A.
Vicar of Stuttoa-upon-Densmore, Warwicksbire.—
He during the whole course of his long and
pinta isle, justly respected for his undeviating inte-
grity, and boundless though silent charity.

The Marquis of -lit/wrier said, he bad the best
wishes for the interest of the present institution, which
he would endeavour to promote 'in every way that
lay in his power. He must congratulate them on the
patronage which they had received from persons of
the highest rank in the country, a circumstance that
mint greatly promote the interest of the Society, and
the object for which it had been established. As
there teas no individual to whom the Society was more
indebted than the illustrious personage who' then filled
the Chair, he therefore would propose the health of his
Royal Highness the Chairman of the Meeting.
This toast was drank with three times three, and

loud applause.
The Duke of Yong rose to express his grateful ac-
knowledgments fur this mask oh favour towards him.
self-individually, and for the attachment which the
company-.bid shown towards his fani•ly. The object
for which the,eempany had assembled this day was,
to •a! relief to-those persons who had devoted their
whole lives and their talents to the amusement and
.the service of. the . public, and who, in the vale of
years, would be.destitute.ef relief, were it not f.a- the I
relief afforded them by alie present fond. This was
an object which be.felt it the duty of every min, who
valued the intetestsot cultivated society, to promote
as Winch as lay . in his poweri, and no aim for that
putpoielhould. be wanting on his part. He again
begged the Meeting would accept his sincere thanks
for the- honour they had. done )sits ; and he should
conclude with drinking-'".The health of Mr. Fawcett,
and sicceu to. the Comet-garden Theatrical Fund."

Harris, informiug him,•thet eioul4 buteeetteeded
the .Meeting that day, if an accident had not untnr.
tunately prevented'him. He sould assure age Meer
togs that Mr. Hatris was one of the warmest: friends
of the present Institution,. the Members of;which. he
trusted, were actuated solely by a desire eosrornote
the good of others; he trusted that what they were
doing was nut with any view of futute advaotage to
themselves ; it would be disgraceful iii bear bad
they no nobler impulse ; certainly it were impossiLle
for any man to say what his fate was likely to be
hereafter—what unforeseen circumstances might in-
volve him in distress : but he was sure that it was
the common feeling of all, that their present efforts
ought to be directed to the rebel of those Who were
not able to lay up any thing for a rainy day—
There was another circumstance which he had to
notice :—The Exalted Personages who' were t' e
Patrons of the lustitittion, hail most liberally subscri-
bed towards it. Now, he.should be sorry if this
Fund were to.be calling on them front year to year
for money. The prote.sion alone ought to support
the Fund, and not those who had no immediate
interests whatever with the concerns of the Theatre..
He hoped the company would not consider him as
trespassing on them when he entered into these par.
titulars. Nothing could be more liberal than the
conduct of the Proprietors of Covent-garden Theatre
towards this Fund. They had teguiarly given their
subscriptions every year, and were among its best
supporters. Mr. Fawcett concluded, with giving the
health of the Stewards, which was thank with three
times three. Mr. Fawcett next stated that the sub-
scription of that evening was above the sum of reseo
—(kielleare.)—Among the patrons of the Institu-
tion he..noticed one individual wt.o had five or six
times subscribed most Itherafly to the Institution.

Mr. YOUNG retuined theeks in a speech of singtilir
neatness. He , thanked the comp toy hot: their
politeness; ant, expressing his icluctance to.occul y
time (at that hour beginning to be so precious),

The Jewett! de Path informs us that on Saturday
afternoon the crowd was so great at the doors of the
Theatre Francais, it was almost impossible to pass
along the streets of Richelieu. The carriage of Miss
LILVOID, the actress, arrived and threatened to crush
the populace, upon which they threw the coachman
from his seat. Other Carriages were- interrupted.--.
The Theatre was crowded to Was, tad the Play

Tickets 45 each, and eacreased their Value it each,
by the addition of Prizes, and having presented a'
most captivating Scheme, with Four of 120,000, and
nacre than Two Prizes to One Blank, the Interest of

Tannehill his Contrast, it being morally certain
there would never be an opportunity of buying a
cheap Ticket hereafter, if the present moderate prices,
with so good a Scheme, did not occasion an increased
demand ; but of this there can be nolioubt, from the
bustle already observed at all the Offices.
