From this it appears, that the ingredients " to make the draft palatable to the Fiasv Cousin." were a facrifiee of hc your and good faith on the part of this Country, by joining with.him in robbing the King of Naples, to whom thefe places belong.

Laft night the Hifforical Play of King jObff, is altered by Dr. VALPY, was performed here for the benefit of Mrs. LITCHFIELD. It went off with aftonifhing cc/at. Cold indeed mull he the bofom which, at a moment like the prefent, is not fired by the noble and patriotic fentiments it contains. We are happy to mention that Mr. Coors has refurned his theatrical duties. When he entered in the royal robes of King gain, there was fome hifling. Upon this he came forward, and, teeming. ly without premeditation, addreffed the audience in a very neat fpeech. He faid he could not affect to be ignorant of the caufe of this difap• probation. He had lately failed to fuftain a part in a new play (The Harper', Daughter). which it was announced he had undertaken. He folemnly declared that this was through no fault of his.— For 2+ hours he was confined to bed by a vio. lent diforder. There were many things in the part, which he admired, and he never was more anxious to come forward. Whatever ads of imprudence he might have committed, in this inliAnce he felt that his conduit was unimpeachable. The applaufe he had received in that houfe Cad made the deepeft • impreffion upon his miqd, and it Mould he his Rudy to thew himfelf not undefervtng of the public favour. 'fliis addref; was eatremely well received. and we doubt not will be confidercd by every one as a fatisiaftory explankinn. Mr. C. never afted better. In the fecond aft, he eleftrified the au. dience with the rapture of loyalty at the words : " The Englilh love their King, " And in his mute will Caul their &mit blood. His ode is theirs: they hut (Wend themfdres, When they defend the Swerrign that proteCts them !" But in his interview with Hubert, in the third aft, when he is fuggelling the murder of Arthur, we are warranted by the univerfil opinion of the houfe in fayittg, that he was great almofl beyond example. If Mrs. Li rc }MILD had not before reached fo Much excellence, we fbould ohferve that fhe at tained it in Cwiliance. The diffetent ',affirms which diflinguifh that charafter werefexpreffed by her in a manner which arreßed and commanded the feelings of the audience. In a word, we never faw a more dignified, a more affeding, a more admi rable piece of adling. Mr. H. JOHNSTON, in Falcontridge, was (honey and defervedly applauded throughout. In the new parts of the fifth aft he was remarkably im preffive. Burffs of lidmitation followed his pate. otic anfwer to the offers of .:..eevis: " France Offer freedom! Was France ever free? &e.* In his expreffion of the gratitude of the Englith for the bleffings of the Ga s'sr C . and of their determination to admire and to preferve the bier. fangs of the Conflitut ion, he found himlelf fupport. ed by the fame fentiments of generous loyalty in a crowd:d audience. In the part of Lrtoir, Mr. BRUNTON has ton fiderably increafed his reputation. His delineation , of the fifth a& was highly fpirited and impaffioned. In his burft of furrow, at the lots of his navy : Vain is the cant& with in Elle& Beet!" he fo: rib.) tICLICti the remembrance and thefiopes of the Britilh nation. The tears that were flied by tbe.audience at the fcene between listiert and Artiner proved, that the. powers of Mr. CARLIISS and of Mifs NORTON are capable, by praftice, of being eminently ufeful.--. The latter is a charming young adrefs. The venerable Huss. did great juilice to the La. gate. He never received greater applaufe than is the concluding lines of his part : • The Englifh power is founded on a rock, .. That bids defiance to the arms of France r The inferior charaElers were very refpeBably filled. particularly Lady Blanch and Lords Safifistry . and Pesarcb. Thehoure was completely filled; and we heartily join with Come of the ?doming Papers,in expreffing our hopes that this Play may be often repeated dar ing the preterit dit.lute with France. IiER MAJESTY'S BALL.—The Ball and Sipper given by her MAJESTY on Thorfday evening were the grandeil, and mod nomeroufly attended ever given. The drcfres were entirely new for the oica fion, and the diamonds and jewels difpla% -d were fuppofed to have cod upwards of a million of m ney. The Princefs of \Names wore a crown of diam nds. The rooms were decorated with rofe trees, the rofes in full bloom, and every other fra grant flower, fo that the rooms may be laid to have been perfumed with pure nature ; there were the fillet tulips we ever beheld: the rocts came from Holland. About nine o'clock the dancing commenced; the firn dance was led off by the Princely A vc usra and the Duke of SOS( num" - , to the tune of the illo of Sky; they were followed by the Printers MART and the Duke of Rutland, the Printers SOPHIA and the Marquis of WORCESTER, the Princely Ataxia* and the Marquis of LORNE ; this dance had pro ceeded but a (hurt time, when the Malqais of Lochs was taken fo extremely ill that he w.r. oblig ed to retire, and was taken home to Argyle•houfe. The fecund dance was Mafier Sitwell, the third Sir David Hunter Blair, the fourth Mr:. Garden of troet, the filth make you k fain to follow we, which continued till one o'clock, when thedanting ceafed. 1 and the Supper was announced In every room nn the ground floor tables were laid, even in his MAJESTY'S Library ; upwards of 300 pedant fat down to fiiptier. Peale and every other rarity were provided; and after runner pine-apples, ra liout kinds of cherries and other fiuits, were ferved up with the deffert. Adjoining the room in which :he ROYAL FAMILY lopped, her MAJESTY'S Band, ;n full drefs, were ilationed. About half pail two 'he dancing was refurned, with Zoiac's Woks, and finifhed fi , on after four, with pony: Bowies, or 'tidy put the Kdtk es. The Princely ELIZABETH, Printers of Wm.'s. and Duchefs of YoaK, did not dance. Their Ma lts -rots rcmained in the Saloon till the dancing nnifhed.
