Ste—As the first public reg table. for comme-
morating the 50th year of his Majesty's reign, in
imitation of a former English Jubilee, under a
triumphant and glorioes Monarch, took place at
the Middlesex County Meeting in favour of Re.
form in Parliament in August last, and as it may
be a matter of curiosity to observe whether that
suggestion was improved upon by 46 the fat
Knight" of the City, or any others who have fol.
lowed in his steps, I beg leave to send you an ex.
tract from the Address then proposed, which, I
believe, you may rely upon as correct
66 In Reformation, every just interest of every
" order in the State would be embraced. The
Crown would recover its rights, the Throne its
46 stability, the Nation its liberty and prosperity,
" and secure peace would then be attainable, be.
" cause war, either continued or suddenly renew.
" ed, could no lunger foster in the enemy a hope
" of bringing your Majesty's dominions wider
" his subjection.
IVe therefore, Sir, humbly pray and trust,
64 that your Majesty will exert those rights and
rich the Constitution, for its own.
and a King's talf.defenee, bath.
•our Majesty's hands, and of which
men have not yet divested their Sore-
vmaucipating yourself, Sir, and your
the encroachment and tyranny
the aforesaid borough factir.
remembrance, Sir, of the year 376, is
(rewrote. this nation by an Act of
41 Indemnity and Patdon therein passed, and by
" a general Jubilee throughout the laud therein
" celebrated, because, as the Act recites, your
" Majesty's ancestor, King Edward the Third,
" of glorious and ever.honoured memory-,
" then reigned fur half a century.
" Mey, therefore, the fiftieth year of your
66 Majesty's reign eclipse in glory the fiftieth of
" the great Edward, by an act still more gratif‘-
" ing to your People, and more worthy to he re.
" membered by their latest posterity, than indem-
" nitres, or pardons, or jubilees—an act for re-
" storin4 the Constitution !
" Yonr great progenitor, Sir, in the said fif.
tieth year of his reign, did, for the fourteenth
" time, give assent to an Act for confirming the
much.revered statute of Magna Charts, which
64 statute had, bt the misconduct of one ill.ad.
46 vised Kau.;, been rendered necessary ; as, by
" the err(); of aiiiitaer, the Bill of Rights had
66
" But. Sir, the benefits of those celebrated
" 4tstntes, ilesti liable as they have been esteem.
'‘ ea; fall far, indeed, short of the bens.
• fits of such a Statute as we hoped to see passed
•• ire the fiftieth year of your Majesty's reign—
" then a year of Jubilee indeed !
" Thom. admired Statutes pruned the luxuriance
66 of abuse, and greatly amended the contlitioti of
'' the people, but withuot sufficiently guarding
" thesource itself of their political liberty ; where.
44 as the Statute we seek would place it, with the
" rights of the Throne and of the Peerage, on
" Its true constitutional foundation; Mud, Tor ie.
" 'town in the legislative annals of our nation,
to the names of the Third Edward, and the Third
46 William, would then yield the palm to that of
" the Third George, whom God preserve ; and
'6 may the evening of his days he crowned is ith
" true felicity, in the blessings of a People, saved
64 and rendered happy by his virtue !"
lit what estimation the foregoing advice is to he
held, when compared with such as his Majesty
has been accustomed to receive from the Gren-
villes or Liverpools, the Purtlaiiiis or Percevals,
the Cannings or Castlereaghs, and by which the
Nation is most likely to be saved, and attached to
its Government, your Readers will judge.

To Me EDITTAL of THE PATESMAN.

[Tim followin; Letter was intended to hate been inserted,
but by occident was omitted.]
SlR—Your desire to give the most favourable
interpretation to the Memorandum issued to the
oScers of the Fleet at Spithead, does honour to
your feelings : you revolt at the idea of exclusion.
The army certainly did not intend a reference to
the Committew, as a " preliminary to the admis.
sion of a Ward Room Oilicer." A Captain of
the Navy was selected to make the arrangements
fur the Fleet. An honourable man, who hail tool
notch employment •f a public nature to permit I
his doing so, made his selection of a person ob_
trusively active, therefore supposed proper fur
the once.

It has been justly said, Sir, 44 no man is con.
tern ptible, but he who mistakes his own character."
The office of regulating ceremony, and adjusting I
the etiquette of a provincial assembly, may be at- I
tainments of moment, but they are nut adapted to I
the capacity of every One : a pursuit may be hum.
ble avid insignificant, but it does not thence fol.
low it should be easily attained. The head and
heart are more concerned in the deportment of the
Master of the Ceremonies, than the heels; it is
Slut, therefore, 'enough to dance without exciting I
laughter, but to dispense favours without provok. !
ing contempt.
To some applications made for tickets, replies of
" the rooms are very full," 44 much company are
expected," have been received ; now, Sir, this is I
the point— these people, so applying, were not ac-
tually excluded by a direct negative, but entreaty
was mad• necessary for this admission. An inde:
pendent man turns on his heel at such reception.
This, Sir, is the complaint—that national honours,
intended for laid Majesty, should be regulated in
the petty spirit of a provincial assembly-room. It
is matter of regret, and highly censurable, that
an officer oust abandon feeling, before he Call pay
a tribute of respect to a gracious King.

A LIEUTENANT R. NAVY.

hear, has, through the conduct of some of the
yeas( wen, bees tho Mlle of great disorder; bat

' General Laborde succeeds Marshal Soult, DOE,-
of Dalmatia, in the command of the fourth corps
of the Spanish army, the Marshal being appointed
31ajor.Geoeral of that army.
VIVIDIA, OCT. 4.—lt appears certain, that the
bails of peace has been settled at Alteubarg, and
that the adjustment of a definitive l'reaty is now
.jm hand. It is even said, that the conferences fur
that purpose are held in the l'elace of the Prince
of Lichtenstein. As yet we know nothing po.
:Rive, but out indefatigable politicians arealready
publishing the articles of the Treaty, and haw k.
ing about the conditions. The only thing which
they are not agreed upon, is the duration of she
stay of the French at Vienna, a fter the signature
of the peace. Fur the rest, every body is per-
suaded, that it will be immediately concluded.
It is reported that the Imperial Guard will,
to-morrow or next day, quit the camp of Az.
gherdorf, and will come into quarters in this
city. It ii also asserted, that the relays are al.
ready ordered for his Imperial Wiest), along
the whole route. There will be a play, this even.
ing, at Schuenbrunn. Many people think that it
will be the last. Yesterday, his Majmny, the
Emperor Napoleon, gave the inhabitants of
enna a fresh proof of his good-will, by appoint-
ing General Danizel Commander of the Force, in
that City. This officer, who, by his conduct to-
wards the Austrian prisoners, has pined the love
and esteem of -all the inhabitants, resides in the
Imperial Palace, in the Cunrt of the Sets'.
OCT. IL—L, virtue of an Imperial Decree of,
the 2d of June last, a Council of War has been
assembled on beard the fl tg.ship of his Majesty's
Admiral, at the port of Rochefort, to consider of
the conduct of Captain Clement la R.anciere, rela.
live to the loss of the ship Le Tonnere ; that of
Captain Laton relative to the loss of the Cal.
cults ; that of Capt. Proteau, relative to the lose
of the frigate L'lndienne ; and that of Captain
La Cailte, relative to the management of La
Tourville.—[The details of the proceedings and
evidence are given in five supplementary sheets of
the llonileur, and not yet closed.]
OCT. Letters from Munich state, that the
bases of the peace between Austria sail France
were agreed upon previous to the Ist inst. and
that the definitive treaty would nut be concluded
fur several days subsequent to that date.
The city of Vienna is required to pay, in the
space of iblee days after the signing of the treaty,
a war contribution of six millions of livres.

General Dantzel is appointed to be Command.
ant of Viennas on account of his humane conduct

towards the Aestrisin prisoners.
OCT: decree of the Senate, a sup-
.pleineisral levy of 86,000 conscripts i. ordered to
be called out immediately. A proportion of them
'is to be taken by anticipation from the class of
1810.

The drichl Journal of this day contains the
following article from Vienna, dated the 6th in.
staid :—Yesterday there was a grand parade at
tictioenbrunii. The reginimst of Nassau, and a
number of French and Italian Body Guards,
passed in view before the Emperor. His Ma-
jesty set out at three o'clock this morning to view
the position at Saitmeringberg, a mountain which
separates Lower Austria from Styria, and re.
turned in the afternoon.

VERSAILLES, OCT. 12.—An order has been
published here for a complementary levy of
36,000 conscripts of the classes of 18060807,
1808, 1809, and 1810, directed by the Senutus
consultant of the oth October. After this is
completed, no new contingent will be raised upon
these classes. Tue Council of Recruiting will
meet on the 18th and 19th October, to inspect
the conscripts actually called into service.
Dusswaoar, OCT. 7.—The following is an ex-
tract of a letter froat an Officer with the Grand
Luke of Berg, dated Gerona, 291 h August :
" We are every day in action with the Spa-
niards, and gain ground upon them. A conti-
nual fire is kept up un the city by the breaches.
The grenadiers of the Ist regiment are already at
the gates of the town. IVe had yesterday a sharp
action, after which we advanced to the gates.
Capt. Kiesclstcin fought bravely, and perished in
this affair. This fortress will be immediately as.
smutted, and must surrender, notwithstanding its
obstinate resistance."
Ditesoca, OCT. 1.- Accordirig to the most re-
cent and authentic intelligence from Vienna, there
is every reason to believe that peace will be imme-
diately concluded.
AUGSBURGII, OCT. 3.—The line of telegraph
erected iu this neighbourhood, is already in full
activity.
STOCKHOLM, SIFT. 21.—8 y the peace con.
eluded on the 17th inst. at Frederiekshani, Swedenl
cedes to Russia the Grand Dachy of Finland, and
eerain districts of the province of West Bothnia,
including Tomes. Russia, on the other hand, re-
stores to Sweden such of the Isles of Aland as are
situated near the Swedish coast, and retains those
that are contiguous to Finland. The ports of
Sweden are shut against English ships of war;
but merchant vessels of that nation, freighted
with salt, and some other commodities, are al-
lowed to enter.
STUTGA RD, OCT. 6.--Hofer, the celebrated inn.
keeper, and Chief of the 'fyrultile, followed the
profession of a beast-jobber, previous to the in.
surrection. Though now residing in the Royal
Palace of Inspruck, he still continues the saute
trade, and receives very graciously all those who
come to speak to him on business of that nature.
He makes his soldiers cut off the hair of the fe-
males who do not comply with his orders re.

To Me EDIIVR of TIM S narßs.v, IN
............

SIR--"I am at some lugs to undereand thie•real
meaning of the Managers and P•opriet rs ,f Co.
vent Garden Theatre, in , the
Receipts of their noose thi' evet...g to
aid us discharging Persons from Prison ; f.,,, te
Jhe accounts from 8.,w-street Oder t.e it• be
credited, they are sending their Gel um ..estisms•
wholesale to prison, instead of extrie.i.in4 them.
It is temoered that they (ilse !liana{—s) mean,
un the occasion of the Jubilee, to liber it, the per.
son they.. has* .m 0 winnerell's eon tined ; but,
e 'tether they do, or not, I hope thus.: ',croons
ho have been so illegally ithrris .ned, %111 not
only prosecute them, but mist. those M igisttates
who were 114) READ., to assist the Manag.•rs in
ramming down their imposition. If the Matta.
gers succeed in the imposition which they are en.
deavuuring to forco on the Pub:ic, they will get
several thousand pounds annually, in addition to
tisr vast profits they now get, for their whole ex.
il&ices now are completely covered.
Mr. John Philip Kemble receives a weekly sa-
lary of thirty-six guineas as a performer ; now, is
4t,it salary payable if that' worthy Gentleusan does
not perform three nights, or any one flight is •
week ? I do not, however, mean to graluble at
his not playing, because I hope (anti I believe the
majority of the town are of the sante mind) that
he will never have the audacity to. appear again
un the stage of a regular theatre in this metropolis.
I understand Mr. }Aston has this season suc-
ceeded in making a large sum at the Circus, at
prices very little more than half of those which the
mot/L.4 Covent-Garden Nlanag, rs wish to enforce,
and that too, by such inhuman nievis—first, em.
iluying blackguards of every description, who
knock down persons that are against the impost.
lion ; and then it the persons so ill-treated, cry
out, they are taken to Bow-street, where the Ma.
gistrates ( kind souls) are al ways in waiting to corn.
twit ofenders--and be the} who they may, if they
'have not bail ready, they cannot wait a few mi.
Mites, whilst the persons taken up send fur their
friends. It may be said against the Circus that
the performances are of a very different east from
Covent Garden Theatre ;-but- if I au. rightly la.
tacined, Mr. Elliston has this season brought the
performances as near to those of the regular the-
atres as his licence would admit ; anti from the
number of Nobility and Gentry that constantly
visited his house, the public it ay draw a pretty
fair conclusion of their having been deserving of
that notice and patronage they have received.
Mr. Elliston's expellees must b. nightly above
1001. (at least) and I suppose his horse would not
hold much above 3(X)I. therefore I think lou may
from this form some estimate of Covent Garden.
Oct. 23. QUIZ.
AT I V" P ES. •
Me. Enrrom--.I perfectly agree that the man-
ner in which a certain part of the Public resist
the advance in the prices of admission to the
Theatre is not so decorous as could be wished; hut
cannot agree that a temptirery absence from the
Theatrit of a certainnumberitif individuals, cum.
posing.the opposition, would be the mean• of in.
clueing The Managers, who. hdlte large property
indepiindent of their interest ifs the Theatre, to
lowen.itto iititts of admission. On the contrary,
I am induced to believe that (he receipts of the
house weald be much greater' by the opposition
withdrawinctliernselves,
,as in that case the horse
would be liTled.by. tholottlindance of those per.
ions who hate. kithertit kept away, ins cense.
cintlice of the Vgily dtwebances, and tile Ma.
nagers would not have to issue orders to persons in
order to support them.
