Major-General DISNIY, of the first Guards, is so far

$ consequence of representations to the War-office

occasioned by the quartering of troops, Government

country to the utmost northern boundary. The de.
crees for the confiscation of British merchandise and
colonial produce were carried into immediate execu-
tion, wherever the French forces appeared ; so_ that
traders in the highest credit were redUced to the lowest
condition of poverty. The funds had been consider-
ably depreciated. The Stocks which stood at 100,
fell to 70, and those at 80; to 50 per cent. such was
the avidity of the holders to realize their Government
securities.
The Dutch papers and a private letter from Paris,
both concur in staling that King Loom is now under
arrest in the house of his mother, for having refused
to sign the.instrument transferring the Sovereignty of
Holland to NAPOLEON.

FRAC 'LS AT Tilt OPERA House.—Some scenes of
Ord haVe recently been exhibited at the King's
in the 14aymarket ; and on Saturday night
tformancts were interrupted by a clamour,
sting, if not exceeding iii energy, what was wit-
Ad during the late contest between the Managers
. Covent-Garden Theatre and the Public. For some.
..:fuse or other, the Manager of the Opera House has
not been successful this season in catering for his guests,
either by introducing favourite exhibitions, or engaging
popular performers. For several nights past, therefore,
a growing spirit of discontent was visible in the Pit,
and several persons having distinguished themselves
as the advocates for the public, • the Manager, on Sa-
turday, took the ill-judged precaution to order the
door-keepers to refuse admission to certain gentlemen
whom he has supposed to hare named, notwithstand-
ing they might have offered money or presented their
tickets of admission. .The attempt to enforce this
arbitrary mandatrriving treated a considerable tu-
mult in the lobbies, the spit-it of indignation was
rouzed with redoubled violence in the pit, and the
door-keepers having at last given way, all was imme-
diately uproar within the body of the house. Mr. Ron
Deputy ?danager, having copse forward, he was heard
to say that "Madame BAusenis had been engaged as
first serious singer, kid that ffir thelast six weeks she had
been expected every day; but, as she had not appeared
terms had been offered to Madame CATALAN', which
it was hoped she would accept." This, however, did
not satisfy the audience, and at last a great number
of Gentlemen made their way upon the stage, and
Mr. REID again made his appearance, when he was
told by the Pittites, that nothing less could satisfy the
public than the most ample apology, for the insult
which they had received at) the Theatre doors,
by the refusal of admission to several Gentlemen, on
the ground that they had joined in the hissing onTues-
dax. Mr. REID disclaimed any share in issuing the
order ; " it was by Mr. TAYLOR'S orders that those who
had joined in the tumult"—Here he was interrup-
ted, by the offence taken at the word di tumult," and
-was told that " the Opera-house was a public Thea,
tre, open to any decent person who paid his money
,--that the right of the people to express their disap..
probation, had been proved by the verdict of a Jury
—and that it was not in the competence of any man,
to exclude even the humblest Englishman, or any
Foreigner under the protection of British laws, from
the full, fair, and free enjoyment of that for which be
had given the value."
Mr. REID, who behaved vet:), respectfully through-
out, offered to report what had occurred to Mr. TAY,

Letters from America to the 16th .1114 were re-
ceived at Liverpool on Friday. The impressions they
convey of the public feeling in that country are rather
at variance with each other. At the same time that
they represent the Government and their supporters
as hostilely inclined, they communicate that'the mo-
tion of Mr. MACON was not carried ; a strong proof
that one branch of the Legislature views a decided
rupture with this country in a manner very different
from the President and his party.
A letter from Lord Couariowooo, dated "the 22d
ult. says, that his Lordship had been telegraphed by
one of the frigates, stating, that the ToUlon Fleet
might every moment be expected to.put to sea.
The expected dispatches from Lord CoLutorirob
hive not yet arrived; but it is reported on the autho-
rity of private advices, that his Lordship was in sight
of the Toulon fleet on the 24th ult. and that the ap-
proach of night alone prevented his bringing the
enemy to action. The advanced division of our fleet,
under the orders of Admiral MARTIN, were said to be
so near the enemy on the above day as to have ex-
changed shots. This division consisted of the Cana
Nis, RENOWN, LEVIATHAN, and CUMBERLAND UDE of

battle ships, and the VOLONTAIRS, Arou.o, and To-
pAza frigates. Admiral COLLINGWOOD had altogether
under his command sixteen sail of the line, which was

the precise number. of the enemy's force. It is still
supposed that Cadiz was the destination of the enemy.
Several line-of-battle ships are ordered to be, got
ready, at Portsmouth, forsea immediately. They are to
proceed to Cadiz to conduct the Spanish ships to a safe
place of retreat Admiral PICIMORE was expected at
Portsmouth, yesterday, to hoist his flag, it is believed,
on board the SAN Joan, 110 guns, Captain DUNN.—
The CAIIIIDOHIAI 110, Captain BEDFORD, and the
OluoN,_ 74, Sir ARCH: Duos, are among the ships
ordered.
The recent letter addressed by Lord Gnawer= to
the heads of the Catholics of Ireland, has been humo-
rously denominated ,4 The first Epistle to the Romano.'
A person who passes under the name-of BENNEVAL,
but whose real name is CALLENDER, who is how com-
manding a Russian force destined to act against the
Turks, is stated in a letter from the late British Con-
sul for the Republic of the Seven Islands, to have ar-
rived in these Islands some time since, where he took
upon himself the command of the Island of Zante, in
his BRITANNIC MAJESTY'S name, and discreetly admi-
nistered the public affairs for nine months : at the ex-
piration of that period, an English frigate arrived, the
Captain of which was instructed to arrest him, but
CALLENDER effected his escape, taking with him a
considerable sum of money, and other valuable ar-
ticles. It is said that this singular character is a
Scotchman by birth, and has successively assumed
the character of a Russian and a Turk, as it suited
his.purpose. When reproached by a countryman of
his own some time ago, for having become renegado,
his answer was Ah ! Sir, the Bible stuck to my ribs
a long time !"
At a meeting' of the inhabitants of Christ•church,
Surrey, on Thursday, for the purpose of considering

rejected, and the bill ordered to be withdrawn.
At a meeting of the Commissioners of the Assessed

a stsrcharge was confirmed, on the evidence r-f the

entering in the tax papers a sporting dog, his own
property, and not paying duty for the same.
The early part of yesterday proved inviting to the
Sunday pedestrians, but the snow descended about two
o'clock, put the ranks of fashion to flight, made the
highways unsafe for the horses, and many severe ac-

A Monty te.—On Saturday hist, about seven o'clock in the
evening, as ELIZASZTU SuELLA, a servant to Mrs. Guiswar.i.,
who residei at the Queen's Palace, was returning home, she was
attacked by a tall man, in a long dark great coat, near Davies-
street. Berkeley-square. The villain struck the young woman in
the arm, with a sharp instrumedt made like a lancet. The un-
fortunate sufferer, who is only 19 years of age, proceeded to Miss
GoLliwoevaes house, In HUI-street, Berkeley-square, where
she received every attention, and was taken to the Queen's Pa-
lace; surgical assistance was immediately obtained, and, upon
examining the wound, it was found the internment had penetrated
to the very bone of the arm.
