MANCHESTER, JANTIARY IL,

The public have already been informed of the
closing of our Theatre; on Monday night, by order-
of the Magistrates, in consequence of Mr. flux?, and
a large party of his adheren'te, having signified their•
intention of being present. •'The same precautions
were adopted on Tuesday night; and it was inti-
mated that the House would remain closed as long
as Mr. HUNT continued in the town ; but the Mana-
gers yesterday waited upon the Justices, at the New
I Bailey, representing the treat ii.jury that would be
sustained by themselves anti the performers, if the
House were to remain longer shut ; and Mr. TI;7Nr
having pledged his word not to visit it again, it was
last night re-opened ; and all has ..ince remained
tranquil. There was yesterday a long investigation
tat the New Bailey, of a person named T. accused
by HUNT and his Farty of being concerned in the
attack on them on Friday night ; and Mr. CROSS
read Mr. HUNT a very severe lecture, on the impro-
priety of his continuing here, to disturb the peace of
the town, and agitate the minds of the lower orders.

The following letter has been received from the.
Dutch Settlements in the East Indies:
- . _ _

•• Batavia, October 1, 1815.

" The Dutch Governor has at last thorght proper to send to
Bencoonen the British Officers dispatched to Palan.bang by Go-
vernor IRatrrxxs; but not until the latter threatened to fetch
them, provided the Dutch Governor did not think proper to
comply with his request. I apprised you that the additional
duty of six per cern. on all ships was to be imposed, excepting
on those of Holland. This was to take place the let November,
Ships, before, could sell all or part of their cargoes at Bata sia,,
and proceed with the remainder to,Samarang and other ports
of the coast. They are now deprived of this indulgence, and
are compelled to sell all their cargoes at Batavia."
Extract of a private letter from Rome, dated
January 9, 1819:
" His Holiness the Port is in a very declining state of health.
Thi. has been perceptible since the beginning of the int month,
and his not assisting at the ceremony on Christmas-day, at the
' Church of St. Marie Majeure, bas created great rumours pad
speculations. lie continues his airings, though the carriage goes
much slower than formerly. The English are in great fdree,
though they are by no mean. so gay as last winter. The young
Ladies complain sadly that there are no -Balls; and their
,Mammas, that the young men are without spirit, there not
having been above one marriage during the last six months.
In the conversation parties, the Princess Pauwtx, the Mar-
chione,s of DOUGLAS, and Lady Cuassovner Bitter, take the lead.
Mons. PICCOLOMINI, one of the well-known candidates for the
vacant red hats, on leaving the Duchess of BRACCIANO'S party
last night, was seized with a fit, and instantly expired. He VMS
observed during the evening in particularly high spirits. The
Princess of WALEL'S Chamberlain arrived here a few days since,
from Pesaro, and there was a report smmediately that her Royal
Highness was also at Rome incog. but there appears to have been
no foundation for :fie rumour, aad the Baron has departed."

A Report having been industriously disseminated

endeavouring to suppress the Sale or. ALL Mks anst
Books of Common Prayer with Notes or Commentaries;

versties, nor the King's Printer, ever entertained suck
an idea. It always has been, and it. still is, their In-
tention to interfere only in those Cases, where the
Notes are added for the purpose of: violating their
Privileges. and evading the Law.

was a disgrace to the Metropolis of Scotland.
