AUND.II", FEBRU.IRY, 21, 1819. \Vv have received the Paris Pape:s of Wedneslay last ; and we looked for them with the more eager ness, bz•eanse a rumour prevailed on Friday that in telliqence had arrived from Paris, stating, that seriou s apprehensions were. entertained by the Physicians of Louis XVIII. that he was threatened with mortifica tin in the legs. Symptoms of the kind had manifested tltemselves, and all their efliuts were employed to avert the imminent danger." The journals, however, arc en i •ely silent upon the subject; we trait, therefore, that the report was unfounded. We are the mere in dinned to believe so, because we have also n_reived letters from Paris of the 1.5 it, 16th, and 17th lust and none of them convey any intclligenon of the above description. The King, indeed, has Leen seriously in. disposed; but no ininidiate danger was entelmined. The following are extracts from the Par ers CFIAMP.ER OF DF.PUTlF3.—Sitting of Feb. 16.

Notwith standing this, the Deputies proceeded directly to the capital, and having explained, with as much trut.4 as modesty, the grievances of their Constituents, the Grand Duke replied to them—" I sec clearly that false rep•irts have been made to ; fir the future, the inhabitants have no more to do than to tuldrss themselves to me; I will endeavour to remedy the grievances of which they complain. Taey shall have the States as they wish theta." A Circular has been issued from the Treasury Cham. bzrs, Commissariat Dmartment, announcing that a Deputy Commissary General has been dismis,ed from the service.

His Lon's'tip's• indisposition is said to be the effect of an apoplectic af fection ; but we are glad to hear, that after his removal to his own house he grew considerably better.

The plot may be told in. a few words FrederickAn gustus Pageant, Baronet (Nlunden), having, in con. sequence of the stelden death of an elder brother, suc ceeded to the title and a large estate, escapes front the thraldom of a clue:se-shop in the Borough, with a more titan ordinary share of vulgarity, and becomes passion.. utely enamoured 'of high titles and ancient Nobility, The old Gentleman has a niece (Miss Cubitt), hand some and accomplished, by whotn he is I.e.:Jived to ob taiu an allianee with the Peerage; brat the voting Lady has most perversely, thou g h with ou t her uncle's knowleage admitted a plait Commoner (T. Caoke) tile undisputed passe ion of. her heart. Sir Frederi c : :. accompanied lay his niece, her in lid arthm< Mrs. Alsop, ) and his man Thu (Knight), as . the Baronet expresses it, "all in the famity way," takes a summer trip to Ex .mouth," in the hope of there m.:cting with some opp o: . Milky ofgratifyinghis High Notions; and thither Frank. lin the lover, with el: ip his servant (Russell), fo:low them. Skip, to obtain ill/ introduction into the Baronet's house disgeiscs himself as Master of the Ceremonies; and 'while he delights the car of the Baronet with the pr . • mite of introducing. him to some foreign Duke, et' immense wealtli and consequence, he contrives to convey a letter to the neice from Franklin, apprising her of the plot. The Master of the Ceremonies re. tires, and Seip soon after returns disguised as the premised Duke, and by drop pin„ a letter, whi c h t h e ilartmot picks upe and reads, he makes him believe that he perneses to have the Baronet's name inserted in " the new batch of' Peers," and that Franklin is a Lord of ancient family in disguise. The trick succeeds and the lovers are happy. This cu:line is completed by an ea , y and sprightly dialogue, amusing incidents, and soine very pleasing singing. Minden and Knight sang a very good duo on the charms of a substantial dinner, Scc. which was loudly encored , and even called for a third time. These popular actors exerted themselves mast ably and most successfully, and kept the bons., in roars of laughter. Miss Cubits and Mr. T. Cooke were hielly ap:)laudeil in several songs, some of which ware encored.' The part of Martha was much too trifling for to ch an ar. tress as Mrs. Alm); she, however, help,!,l to conce it its insignificance.. Reuel rendered the Mal er of the• Ceremonies, and the Spanish Grandee, very amasin ; ;. personages. Both the mule and the dialogue arc the productions of Mr. Parry. It was receive I in a most flattcriug msnner, and is likely to become a fairJarite with the Public. Monday night a new Tragedy, which had been.an nounced for some time as being in preparation, was produced at this house, under the title of Srviber.'and. Public r. port had previously announced it as coming from the pen of Miss Porter, and expectation was raised to the highest pitch to witness this dramatic offspring of the writer of " Thaddeus of Warsaw," " The Pas tor's Fireside," and several other tlesrvedly favourite Novels.Tbe house was crowded in every part previous to the rising of the curtain; and the reception given to Mr. Rae,who spoke the Prologue, proved the disaosition of the audience to be of the most favourable / i tion.The Piece cotn.aencei under the most promising auspices; but even before the first act concluded, the fate which awaited it was obvious. It is at all times a painful task for us to speak in terms of harshness and severity of any unfortunate Author: it is more especially ars when the subject of our comments springs from the•pen of female. Justice, however, demands we should, on this eccasioa, ded ire, .th it never did we hear a piece con• demncd which more jnstly merited its • fate than the pr 'auction of this evening. As Srvitzer:and is consigned to the tomb of all the Copulas, it is scarcely requisite we should enter into any description of the plot. It is fortunate fur us we have this excuse for deporting from our usual custom ; our difficulty would otherwise have been insurmountable ; fbr we must conf.:ss the plot, if were was any, soared very fir beyond our comprehee ajar,. We are involved in as much ignorance of t o motives which governed the actions of the several per sons of the Drama at the fallio4 of the curtain, as ee were at the conclusion of the Prologue; bat if the pint thus rose above comprehension, its flight was •in some measure balanced by the lan4uage, which fell far below mediocrity. Kean, who, of course, had the p:incipal male character assigned to him, and appears in almost every scene, merely walked throuat his part. We never saw him so entirely fail to produce effect, or make an impression on his uunience, as in 11:4 perftwir. once this evening. Mr. Kean will, p.a haps, justify him self fur thus disappointing the expcctaLions of the PO , - lie, by saying he did not like nut character, and the piece w toted merit. This, however, is no excuse, either to the author or the Public, An author may thus be ruined, and the public disappointed, by the fanciful caprice of a performer, whew utmost exertions are the pyoperty of both the author and the Public, if he is honoured with pubic patronage.
