510 TUE NATIONAL REGISTER. • In a letter from the Secretary of State for the Nether lands to the Presidents of the Assemblies of the Nether lands, he alludes to two articles in the new constitution concerning the toleration of all forms of worship, and the admissibility of all citizens, which have given offence to the Catholics.

Leith and Admiral Duibarn to support the authority of Louis XVII I. and declined the assistance which they offered to him, eedging that he would rely on the loyalty of his troops. It seems that this Frenchman had Vteviously received an account of time return of Bonapatte to France, and a confirmation of his authority as Governor of the Island.

The story is that of King Edgar, who sent his favourite to inquire about the beauty of a lady whom he wi , hed to marry. The favourite fell in love himself, married thv lady, calumniated her charnv, and kept her concealed till his master discovered the imposition during a hunting party, and according to history, put a tragical end to the adventure. The poet, however, makes him better natured. The historical account of this piece is rather curious. It is a translation of a French imitation of Mason's Elfrida. It possesses considerable interest, and assisted by Cooke's elegant melodies and excellent acting, cannot fail to prove a favourite with the public.

When the heart in the bosom is beating, In vain we suppress the warm sigh ; Tho' the lips no fond truth be repeating, telltale i 4 found in the eye, wris there the heart's language is spoken, For words may by falsehood subdue The vows of the lips are oft broken-- The eye, tho"tis silent, is true!
