COVENT•GARDEN THEATRE. Last night Rob Roy was performed, for, we pre some, the petits, of Miss Suntans's Fader re-en. try on the metropolit in boards. A few simple songs ate the price of popularity in the part of Diane Per. non, and those she sang with her usual skill. Her entrance on the 110 , 110 was honoured with much elm pious*. and she s►emed quite overwhelmed by her reception, perhaps a little mo►e than was quite probable in the sensibilities of .a performer who has stoutly faced so matey audiences of all kinds dating those half dozen years; but something must be allowed for the customary acting in the case, sad she certainly accomplished her alarms' with considerable dexterity. Dimon, prominent is the celebrated Novel. is thrown into Ilse back ground in the Mama, and Miss SvErligns, after a short de volopmeut of the public favouritism, and of her own very capable voice, gave way to the trot interest of the performance. The c►aracter of Rob Roy in the Dams seems to be more digoified—to tale a more leading pert in forwarding the cata►trophe, and lobe altogether more of the Highland Chieftain, than the alternate conspirator and cattle-driver of the Novel. M•calsov's performative of this part was perhaps one of the first displays that brought him into pecu liar notice, and his elections last 'sight hut nothing of the simplicity, shrewdness, end esetteeline spirit of his original successes. Lesion's Millie is not ;skijor to say of his performances. The play was altogether well received by oue of the most csowded busses of t►e season. NAVAL INV.: I.LIGENCS.

Why, then, let me ask, io the name of God and Reason, should the decendants of the it lestrioes Patriarchs and the Prophets be still systema tically porredited by "the Powers that be?" The free tow• of Lubeck, as we have been informed by reedit letters from that city, is ender the immediate protection of the F:mperer of AUSTRIA.

Will is • odd believe any part of the above when they read I the famous Decree of the 24 of Dee. 1818 —when Ithey see the old Statutes of 1788, and the noire famous one of the 26th of September, 1778,1 lore again to be prd its full force? What must have beret the feelings of persons who have resided there for years, following endistetbed their Salinas orcupsiiors?—What must have hero their feelings, I say, when they read this decree, forbidding their carrying on business In any may whatever?
