The band was nnmerous red effective. On the entrance of the company, the devices, O. R. with the Star of Brunswick and Crown. as illuminations, suddenly burst forth in great eplen r. Many of those who arrived late were deprived of their dinners. and had the felicity of attending upon the ladies.---The emnpany amounted to near f o ur hundred.

The tables in the Egyptian Hall were re•• inured, and refreshments were arranged upon side boards fur the use of the company. The dancing isittne diately commenced ; but, though the crowd was great, the company were not so touch incommoded as on former occasions. The Ladies %sere elegantly dressed, and there was a delicious display of youth am! beauty. Nut only the internal but the external arrangements were excel lent. The Marshals disposed of the Lity Officers under their controul to the best advantage in p►eserving order, and the access of the company to the Mansion-llouse did not suffer the least interruption whatever. The Lord 1 Mayor did the honours of the day with a more than or dinary degree• of that cheerfulness.which so peculiarly belongs to hive ; and the whole concluded in as orderly a matins r a► might be expected from the great numbers of the company. ITNE'S. DRURY LANE. Jane Shore was performed here last night, and though WALLACE was PHI Ce rf Gio'sfer, and though he filled the character with diets, the performance of the piece on the whole was deficient in interest. Gioneuri in Lon don followed ; and the clottacter of Giovanni was, in consequence of thee indisposition of Madame Vest Tells played, and with a great deal of spirit by Miss CUEITT. I'OV ENT ARDEN THEATRE. This establishment opened last night with Virginias; a tragedy whose popularity, owing to lice great actiNg of Maceesnv as its hero, is still upon the increase, and bas not yet arrived at the lseight of its destined celebrity. The temporary retirement of Miss Foorts left Virginia to find a new reprusetitatire. Miss BEAUMONT was fitted upon, and did the character much greater justice than we mild have expelled. After the play a new melo drama, called VivlimeSpirit q f the Waters, was produced. lt is from a German story, and very similar to the many others which have been brought out as mere exhibitions of scenery at this house. An immense expense intist have been expended in the gilding and painting for this piece, and although it wet with unqualified succes , -, we very Flinch doubt whether it will ever bring back the money n hick it (must cost the managers. SADLER'S WELLS. Tisis theatre opened last night under a new manage ment, which has comuiencetl with spirit. The per formances begun with a Mallet; a melo-drama from the Freneh, entitled 'the Maintain list, followed, and the last piece of the evening was a very clever and atuusing production, which is likely to prove a great favorite, called Raster floating. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE This theatre opened its campaign , last night, with all its distinguishing peculiarities. The performances commenced with a comic dance by the whole corps de /Pallet, abounding wills strung humour. The spleadid Oriental Spectacle o f The Secret Mine followed, and after the usual display of horsemanship, as admirable HarlePiaiiinds was presented, founded on the well knuwu story of the Idle and Industrious Appetit iices. SURREY THEATRE. This theatre has received, during the late short re cess, very considerable improvements. The entertain ment of the evening commenced with the classic bur lett* 7'he Darghters of Donau and Sons Etypters. which was received with mo re than usual applause.— The melo-dramatic spectacle of Alonzo the Brave end the jerk hnogifie followed, and a new burletta, called The two Oregorier, or where did the Money comet five, was the last, though not the least diverting part of the evening's amusement. OLYMPIC. The efforts of the Proprietors of this little Theatre to afford amusement to the public, have been very success fully renewed. M. ALex AN DR r., the celebrated Ventri loquist, made his appearance here last night, and for the first time on a British Stage. His illusions in the various parts of his performance, and particularly in the second and third, gave the highest satisfaction. ADELPHI This little Theatre wan crowded last night. The first piece performed was Kenilworth, and a Dramatic trifle, called Feney's *ketch, conclude the bill of fare for the night. The performers spared no efforts to give effect to situatiins and incidents of the conimon-place do scription. COBOURO THEATRE. This splendid Theatre commenced its season yester day evening. At an early hour a vast crowd assembled at the doors, which no somber opened, than the beam filled. The elegant deceratioes, with the new drop ses . min, and the handsome elmedeliers gave a bewailsl eery de Wit SO the mlegriag spectators. who demon strated their satishetiee by motional load cheering. T o tout ainahle was elegant in the extreme, and the two new melo-dramse went off with the /natal eclat. ENGLISH OPRRA MOMS.

EXTRACTOR A PRIVATE LZTTER roost MADRID, APRIL 8. " The news of the cowardice of the Neapolitans has produced a strong sensation here, but very different from what might have been suspected by those who have not a just idea of the Spanish character. Far from being frightened for the future, their confidence. seems to have been roused by the intelligence. In the mean time the Government is aware of the intrigues of the servilee, and their connection with our foreign enemies: rigorous measures will be immediately adopted, to put an end to all their secret manoeuvres. It is said that many foreigners have been detected hold ing correspondence with some neutral Governments. by which they appear to have been sent as emissaries to foment disorder in the Peninsula, in order to have pretext to allow foreign armies to march to Spain. The Cortes have consequently determined to keep a side! watch upon all foreigners, partieularly those of di& tiortion. The whole of the population throughoat Spain and Portugal are perfectly united, and ready to rise in case of danger. The traitors who are generally of the same cast with those who betrayed their coun try in the time of Bonaparte, will never be able to make any kind of counter-revolution, without the as sistance of Weil:nets. The pretended parties we hear of by the French papers, are mere bands of vagabonds, which were even mm re numerous two years ago than they now are. They are the very s ame ; they were then spoken of by our n ei g hbours as banditti, (which was generally true,) hut, now they are faithful loyal -valists ! They are indeed worthy of their praises." Paris papers of Saturday have arrived this morning. They contain accounts from Madrid of the 13th inst. Thirty-six men who were under the command of Don J. Arija, one of the Lieutenants of Merino, have hcen taken at Peonet , near B ur g os. A great many horses and some ammunition have fallen into the possession of the troops that pursued them. Merino himself has retired to Atir u za in the mountains of Alcarria. All the national guards of fined&faxen' and the neighbouring towns have been despatched in pursuit of those wloi have escaped. The Minister of Interior has issued a circular to all the political chiefs of Spain. In this be states that the events of Naples may induce persons desirous of disturbing the public peace, to avail themselves of the present crisis, for putting into execution their criminal designs; but that the King in order to frustrate attempts of this nodule has charged him (the Minister) to inform the political chiefs that they must adopt such measures as their zeal may dictate, and as circumstances require, in re sisting and putting down the secret enemies of the system, &c. &C. The Cortes held sittings on the 10th, llth, and 12th, instant. The projet respecting patriotic societies has undergone sonic further discussion, and several articles Dave been adopted. The Commission in presenting a projet respecting State processes, made some remarks on the necessity of taking energetic measures for the prompt a dministration of justice, and the punishment of offenders, who by supporting some laws that were not yet abolished, attacked the Constitution in the very fare. The discussions have also been resumed on the pro jet of law relative to the infractions on the Constitu tion during the eristcnce of the late legislature. A petition was presented to the Cortes, from some of the guards, requesting to he formed into a detachment, to be employed in pursuit of factious individuals, who under the UAW of royalists, acted in *manner most inimical to the King's interest. Referred to government to determine as might be thought proper. By an article dated llilan, it appears that several individuals, subjects of Austria, had bees found in the territory of his Sardinian MAJESTY without pass ports, and that they had in consequence been cited to re-enter the Italian States of Austria, and present themselves before the proper authorities at Milan, under penalty of being proceeded against, accotdiag to-the terms of the Decree, dated Feb. 8, 1812. The insurrection of Moldavia and IVallachia excites great attention at Vienna. The insurgent chiefs are commencing operations with their respective forces. Taconoam is proceeding towards the Danabe to seise upon Nicopoli. Prince YPSILANTI directs his coarse towards Hirsowa and Silestria in order to occupy the ports of the Black Sea, and he is in ready com munication with the Greeks of the Russian pro vinces near this sea. The Greeks in Bulgaria have commenced their movements ; many of the friends of Tasonomic have gone into Servia to distri bute proclamations.

Reliant has bees presented to the Chamber of Peers relative to pc /s ew. ings at law against a self-styled accomplice of The chamber decided that there were oo grounds for pe a seedling the accusation. It is said that the Report of the Committee of the Rae. get will not he presented to the Chamber of Deputies until the 13as of May. The projects of law now u n d er discussion relative to corn, the criminal cede, and the mnoicipal organisation, the project of law that is ar.. stemmed relative to the censorship, raise a presumption that the present session will be mach longer than the list, which yet did not terminate before the month of July. Several of the deputies complaie that the cham ber has been almost inactive for the last two months, and that the committees retard indefinitely the reports with which they are intrusted. That of the budget is so deeply interesting to all ranks of persons, that it is very distressing not to see it presented to the chamber until the lassitude of the members, anxious to return hese, prevents them from giving the necessary attention tea discussion of such higher importance. The ceremony of the Last Supper took place at ten o'clock on Thursday night in the gallery of Dims, Monsieur represented the King, and washed the fest of thirteen children representing the Apostles. These di:. dren were invested with a scarlet tunic, leaving spans embroidered in silver at their breast, and in whide tM Prince put 13 five-franc pieces. He next served tat►ea thirteen plates filled with such eatables as are prescribed for fast days. The ceremony concluded at midnight. The Prince was assisted in his pious deity by the Deka de A ngculeme and the two principal pages: the Princes and several distinguished personages were present oa the occasion. An article from Naples of the 4th of April estimates the extraordinary expenses which the revolutionary g e• vernment had caused the country, during the preceding eighteen days, at twenty-five millions ; adding to which the contributions and subsistence for the Austrian anay, be national finances may be regarded as impoverished t to the extent of forty millions. The Provisional 6.- vernment is in great distress: all the public chests are empty, and the notes of the Bank without credit. A duty of fifteen aeon per paper has been imposed el all foreign journals, which is nearly meal to a total pro hibition. Cardinal Babrisio Buffo has left Rome for Naples. Ile is said to have been named president of the yeti sional government, in conjunction with the Marquis& Circello.
