luring interest is expiring, and that very wit and
general discontent prevails, en account of the bel.
ligerent spirit of the Government, a Icicle, in the

tenor concerns of the Empire. This account sic
deem unworthy of credit.

We are very well elf hero fur provisions, but we

Now the subject of that trial was a conspiracy
to hiss Mr. MJCIit.I.v off the Stage ; but do the
disititereeed Proprietors of the New Theatre
mean to hold out to the public the terrors of the
law, in the event of their having the presumption
to express their disapprobation by hissing Y To
tear up the benchis, or commit any damage, is
certainly illegal—but we beg to inform the public
that they have a right to hiss when anti whom
they please—it is the only mode by which
probation can be expressed. We well know that
the Proprietors and Managers would gladly sup-
press the voice of the public in every instance ;
but the period is not arrived when the cupidity of
Proprietors, the presumption of Managers, ur the
defects of Actors can be crammed dwon the throat
of John 13011 ; nor will he, we trust, suffer these
threats to avert the damnation of some of the trash
which probably will be presented, limier the false
title of a Melo Drama Comedy, at which we may
look as grave-'° us Melpomene on her pedestal,"
or a Tragedy, at which we may be convulsed with
laughter as vehement as that of the spectators of
the '6 classical sculpture in llow-street."

For when the fight becomes a chart,

On the subject of races, his Grace of York and
the new-made Baron will be considered by !owe_
rity as oracles of information. The Baron and
his family arc cscelltitt Pilots—but it is doubtful
whether they will be able to weather the storm.
even with the pans aid of their dumestiz Pilot in
the Strand.

On Friday civic el,cptence thundered, or rather
bellax•cd, forth in Guil:lhail the biesain..r's which
proved the et/testi/my of a Jubilee. On Satur-
day the creditors of upwards of 80 Bankrupts
met in the same and furnished a brilliant
commentary on the arguments advanced in the
cause of Tuggle, Venison, and others, against
Common Sense, Common Decency, and the suf.-
feting people 14. England.

W hen the Ministers of a certain Island have ef.
fected is much mischief to their country ac is al-
most pi)ssildg, they retire on a snug pension—to
enjoy, for the remainder of their lives, the " otium
cunt dignitate."—in Turkey they order these
things better !—Ministers here providently keep
trco string!, to their bow. In Turkey they arc
only iodubsed with one. Mr. lIJRNE TOOKE
once observed, " That star.garters and. ribbands
were sometimes bestowed on those those public

Sceptre, Ganges, Valiant, Monmouth, Nymphen,

rived at Deal mu Thursday evening from the Scheldt,
bringing with tl.em about 5000 troops. When
this squadron sailed, the French troops in the
neighbourhood had inerewted in number consider.
ably, and ttwir tlotilta of gon-boat4, &e. to the
amount of near 200 sail, were coming down the
river again, u ith ao intention, as was supposed, of
commencing otimisiro operations against the island
of Waleberyn.

The intelligence from Persia by the bigt India
arrivals is reported to be satisfactory. The French
influence is stated to have been broken by the ad.
dress and perse.-erance of Sir ll,atironn Jost.,.
The English troops which bad been sent to the

to the nettociati►►ns with the Court of Ist►ahan,
