This Theatre opened for the season on Thursday with The Cure for the Heart-Aehe, and Fertility's Frolic. The performance went off with great eclat. The company seems to lei ably strong, and we observe several new candidates for thea trical celebrity. Those of most promise we shall take care z,l notice. They have one valuable acquisition in Tokely, the best rustic on the stage, after Emery, who performed several times at Druly-lane with great applause, but who Was nevertheless suffered to- leave the Theatre while the greater part of those characters which are acted by Emery or the other [louse, were consigned to that burlesque on hu nianity—Oxberry. THE NATIONAL REGISTER... ARGYLE ROOMS.-PUBLIC MASQUERADE. On Thursday last, the Masquerade at these Rooms was both fashionably and fully attended. Among the company were several Foreigners of distinction, who appeared much pleased with the variety and spirit displayed by those who sustained characters, and the bon mots from those in Dominos elicited great gaits demur, and frequently approximated to brilliancT of imagination. The principal amusements, however, of the evening were reds, waltzes, and country dances, and not withstanding all that may be said by our continental friends respecting English aptitude in these and similar amuse ments, we are of opinion than those nothing could be 11101 C illustrative of finished excellence. The supper consisted of most of the choicest delicacies in season ; and the wines were admirable. It is, indeed, a matter with us of no small astonishment how Mr. Slade, the host, can provide with such liberal profusion for the money paid for admission. After supper, dancing was renewed, arid continued with unabated spirit long after Phoebus drew the curtain of the morning. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE FROM' FRANCE. [EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE NATIONAL REGISTER.] The domestic history of France at the present moment is not the least curious part of the observation of those who knew her before the revolution, or who have become ac quainted with . the country during its progress. All the pri vate letters from Paris are filled with anecdotes more or less interesting, according to the opportunities of those who write them ; we ate happy to inform our readers that we shall occa sionally lay before them the correspondence of an intelligent man, who has the Lest means . of information, and whose let ters cannot fail to furnish both instiuc:ion .and amusement. It is not generally known in this country that the adjourn ment of the meeting of the Legislative Body was owing to the aprrebensions entertained of some of its Alemberl,. who are said to profess sentiments inimical to the new order of things, and wh:.) under Buonaparte's despotism were constant objects of the tyrant's jealousy. Louis the tBth,has how ever lived long enough in this country to know how to ma nne these matters, and it is likely we shall bear no more of this incipient opposition. It should, however, appear that there is a party forming in Fiance, and who having fortunately imbibcd a certain dis taste I.r unqualified de , potistn, are not idle in circulating their opinion s o f the new constitution, and which, if pru dently exercised, may elicit such necessary improvements, both as to the liberty of the subject, and the freedom of the press, as the new code evideudy stands in need of. But upon this subject we shall take an opportunity of entering more at large. We fear, notwithstanding, there is a concealed intention on the part of the advisers of Louis to gradually restore the old form of Government, and it is rumoured at Pa:is that, until the jour !ley of Talleyrand to Compeigne. the proclama tions which were circulated in manuscript, neither retoguiseci liberty of worship or the security of national property. But for this we think the House of Bour!rim would never have been re-seated on the throne of France, and any attempt to dispossess the Proprietors of land would most likely lead to another revolution. We cannot better close this article than by detailing an anecdote circulated in Paris, and which is so honourable to the house of Conde, that we have much pleasure iA com municating it ; in these times such histories ale refrdshing. A short time since tic person who possesses the estate of Chan tilly waited on the Duke de Bourbon offering to exchange or sell it for any other property, it being the ancient inheritance of his family : " what signifies the inheritance to me (replied the Duke) I have no heir; and Caulaincourt has dined with Monsieur." This is worthy of a Prince, " sans reprocke, et sans pear." TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE. LORD CIIA!IIrRLIfN'S OFFICE, JUNE 13, 1814.
