ROM LAS r NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WAR - D EPA RT eNT; DOWNING-STREET, JANUARY so. A. Dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has been received by Earl BATUMI', addressed to his Lordship by Field-Marshal the Marquis of WEL,. Litearea, K. G. date.' Saint Jean de Luz, the 16th January, 1814: Since the Army passed the Nive on the ninth of December, General Mina has had three battalions of the troops under his command at Bidarray, on the left of that river, and at St. Etienne de B tygorey, . in observation of the enemy's movements from Saint Jean Pied de Port. The inhabitants of Baygorey were noted in the late war for their cpposition to the Spanish troops, and they are the only persons who in the present_war have manifested any disposition to oppose the Allifsi arts I was in hopes that the measures which I had adopted would Mite indexed them to remain quiet. With the aid of the inhabitants of thdarray and aygorey, and General Paris's division of the army of Catalonia, and such troops as he could collect be longing to the garrison of St. Jean Pied de Port, General D'Harispe moved upon the troops of Gene. ral Mina's division on the 12th instant, and obliged them to retire into the valley of the Aldudes. No movement has since been made on that side. My last accounts from Catalonia are of the 81st ultimo, at which period there was no alteration in the situation of the troops in that quarter.

Bow-srnarr.—We yesterday stated the particulars of the di.graeeful riot which took place on Sunday evening, in Bainbridge -street, St. Giles's. White, the victim of the infuriated ruffians, we are sorry to say, died of his wounds yesterday morning, in Mid. dlesex Hospital. One of the villains was heard to say, with a horrible oath, while White was lying in the street in a senseless state, 44 he is not dead yet," and gave him a •iolent blow with a piece of wood on h►s bead. G LDH A L Brown, an Hibernian, was ch irged by his wife with mur.-lering, beating, and maim ing her. The lady, in all the flowery thquence of her country, described the cruelty of her husband's con duct, And exhibited certain marks and tokens on her arms and head, which corroborated her statement. She complained of other proofs of his brutality, pee. certible in other places, which she expressed her rea diness to shew ; but the worthy Alderman being per fectly sntistied with what he had already seen, said he was ready to bind the prisoner over to keep the peace, although he could not commit him, as the lady desired he should, to take his trial for her murder ! This saistied the complainant, and 'Mr. Brown was committed in default of bail. CORONER'S INQUEST.—The body of a female in: fain was found, on Friday morning,' in the snow, wrapped in a piece of coarse linen. near one of the gates of Whitechap#l Church-yard. As there tem. !every appearance the infant having been born alive . the Jury found a verdict of Wilful *crier against,' some person or • . THEIffRBS. Dawn , LANIib•.•••MTb JUAN appeared again in.A . p. lock, and by his admirable and expressive manner of giving the part, fully sustained the reputation he had acquired by his - former representation of it, though he laboured under the disadvantage of a considerable hoarseness. He assumed a greater appearance of age and feebleness than on the first night, but the ge- , neral merit of his playing was the same. its style' of acting is, if we may use the expression, more sig nificant, more pregnant with meaning, more varied and alive in every part, than any we have almost ever witnessed. The character never. stands still ; there is no vacant pause in the action ; the cyc is never silent. Miss &dim played Portia with math animation, - and ?ti delivering the fine apostrophe 013 Mercy, in the trial-scene, WAS high)) , impressive. - - COVENT GARDEN.—A new Comic Opera, entitle.' Me Farmer': IVO., attributed to die pen of Mr. T. DI BDIN, was last night performed. The principal , characters were thus 611 ed : Sir Charles Courtly . Mr. fools Cornflower (the Farmer) Mr. 1 AW CLTT Clytaitt Belton . Mr. StsacLAIIII Farmer Bartiarcl - - Mr. loci.room Mr. Williams (the Curate) . Mr. CHAPMAN Dr. Prother (lie Village Apothecary) Mr. MATH E WS. Peer (Valet to Sir Chide„) Mr. Lis tom Rubin (Stream to Barnard) . Mr. Et rev St Hb1)1.- (Bailiff to Con flower) Mr. SLADkat (Servant to t:itto) - Mr.TiNotr Chalk (3 Latit!lord) Mr. ATKINS Mrs. Cori& aver - Mal STEPHENS Miss Courtly (:-Is:er to Sir Charles) Miss MArrusws Jenny (her Maid) . - Mrs. DAVIES. The I'l , )t lies in the narrowest possible compass. Cornfrower, a blunt, honest Farmer, somewhat ad vanced in years, having, at the hazard of his life, saved Miss Emnta Belton from the games, and after- wards rescued her father, who had impaired his for mic, by fashionable follies, from a gaol, the Lady, .otWithstandiarg the inequality of age and education. ietuated by mingled feelings of love - and gratitude, ropays his services " with herself." Scarcely had she become Mi. Griejlower, when she is discovered b; Sir Charles Courtly—who determines to attempt nee virtue. Taking advantage of the absence of the' tar, mer, in town, he, by a forged tale of the upsetting of his postchaise, gets admittance into the house, where he is hospitably received by Mrs. CornAluer, under whose care he speedily recovers from certain bruises which he pretended had been occasioned by his accident. Meantime, he takes care not to miss so favourable an opportunity to forward his suit.— The Lady listens to his raptures ; and, dazzled by his accomplished manners, instead ef ordering him out of the house, she faintly chides. The tarinei's return, however, disconcerts the baronet's project ; who, instead of proceeding with the siege regularly, now resolves on a coupde-main. And, while Corn 'ower is busily employed at a county meeting, he, vi et armis, forces away his wile and her attendant, and bears them to a villa he possesses, situated on a bleak and dismal heath. Thither the fugitives ate pursued by Captain Belton, the brother of Mrs. Cornflower, who is in love with Miss Courtly, the sister of SiriGharkr. Here a scene of equivoyue takes ,:lace—thelasonet supposing that Behan's . visit is ter the purpose of making proposals for his sister, who had isist . given him a hint of the affair, and not to reclaim Mrs. corn. /lower, with whose relationship to Belton he is unac quainted. The arrival of the Farmer elucidates the mystery—the innocence of Mrs. G rnflower is esta blished—Sir Charles acknowledges his error—aud, to conciliate the forgiveness of Belton, presents hint with the hand of Miss Courtly. As it was utterly impossible to form three complete acts out of such slender materials, the Author, to eke out the piece, has introduced a variety of characters, which are wholly unconnected with the main ousioess (A the Opera. Messrs. Exicttr 411 d LISION are thrust . . forward as a Yorkshire Clown and a Cockney Powys, rivals in the love of Miss Wont, a fair i.hriertiaiii, Nothing can be conceived nKsre dull and tiresome than their cow tship. The characters, however, were well supported. Dr. Prother, the village apothecary, who, amuses himself, and wearies every person else, by telling long stories unintelligibly, is evidently enrolled amongst the Pramati: Persons, merely to afford Mr. MaTumws an opportunity of displaying his imitative .abilities. His song, descriptive of a debating society, is amusing, and his execution of it deserved tue appro bation which it received ; but,beyond this, thepart pre sents nothing that can create a smile. Indeed, the Opera (which is only comic in its denouenunt) betrayed throughout the greatest poverty of incident, as well as the most miserable want of lite and vivacity, where the dialogue ought to have been volatile and spirited. , In the serious department Mr. DIBDIN was mote sus ; cessful: some of the sentiments were very forcibly et_ pressed; and the scene in which Cornflower is apprised of his wife's supposed elopement, possesses consider.; able interest. ln this scene Mr. fa.wceirr's acting; was most natural—the pangs of the doating, deceived husband, were described with masterly force. The character of Mrs. Cornflower, which was sustained by Miss STEPHENS, is nothing more than a vehicle, arid a very mean one, for some beautiful music, by Messrs. BISIIOP and T. WErsii. The most unbounded ap plause attended the exertions of Miss STEPHENS Dv!' first song and a fro/acca were encored ; from a, leeliag of delicacy the audience did not cooler the same painful mark of approbation on a travura that fol lowed. Nor did they very much approve the style in which she sang the beautiful old ballad of " Vie Pigcon that Auer: and du: ;" but this was not her fault : the old melody is infinitely superior to the new. In the beginning of the second act Miss Mearnsws appeared, wrapped up, to shew that she was still an invalid, as the Opera had been postponed on her ac count. She appeared to be very weak, and to be much alarmed ; but after taking a glass of water she got through a pretty song, and was encored. 4 great majority of the house, however, called out " Merry! do not force it." Miss MATTHEWS herself, however, seemed so eager to acquiesce, that the merciful were silenced and she repeated it.—Mr. SINCLAIR has a very simple air in this act, which he sung with great sweet ness, and was deservedly encored.—Mr. JONES sup ported the character of Sir Charlet with his accus tomed ease and gaiety. Mr. I NCLBDON sang the songs allotted to him with the most delightful and minty effect.—The music (furnished by six different corn potem Messrs. BISHOP, T. WELSH, Des - v, RISSVE, CONDRLL, and ADDISOB !) is, in general, very pretty. 411 the scenery was well delineated ; but, two of them l i (a corn jell and a ploughed field) were positively ad. calraUle.—the Opera xteatoit erttitteir well and, supported as it is by• the whole comic and veal strength of the company, it will probably exist for a moderate time. —Tr.: House w.ts crowded in every part, The following will give our Readers an ides of the Poetry :. litecrrarivr, strevani‘i—ifirs.
