Extract of a letter front Gottenburg, dated Deerniber. 11; Itto7:—; " " Observing' in some late"'Euglish newspapers. that absurd reports have been Circulated iu London, of a revalutina having taken•place in Sweden, and others of a like nature ; I Ind happy to inform you, that the very reverse is the case, for during the King's visits here last week. his condescension and attention to every rack of his subjects were such as gained him the hearts of all ; his ptimlaiity never was greater, and it is hoped by the liminess which lie t trey maintains, and by his wisdom, this country will fur roue time be able to withstand the . torrent which overwhelms beady the whole of the Continent. The firoseripime frigate, with Lord al l eveson Gower, Lord Gower, &c. on board ; and the &Iris,.

Speculators hence infer, that the cor respondence is the result of a secret negociation between this country and France. Some question may have arisen on which Ministers may have thought it desirable to consult Ins Lordship. In the event of a negociation for peace actually opened, he would not be likely to be the British Plenipotentiary. In point of expe rience, acquirements, and mental ability, no man is better qualified fur such a tusk, but his Lordship's hearing, we are concerned to learn, is very imper fect. After 'evert! orders arid counter orders, we learn that the whole of the troops, arrived.at Corkfrien Monte Video, ere to return to Englaiiil.—They sailed on the 3d, but were forced back on the next day by contrary winds. We yesterday stated, that Lord Hutt:11111024 and suits, sailed on the 2d instant, from Gotten burgh, ou board the &late for England, and was afterwards spoken with safe at sea.--Ilis Lordship on Saturday reached Yarmouth, and has since ar rived ur town.—The Relate was towed into Yar mouth Reads, haring unshipped her rudder.

Theatre, on Thursday last, of winch The Dublin Correspondent, of Friday hist, gives the .fullos.. ing account :-- Mr. Mr.r,vtir, the name of our new candidate, made his first exertion in the part of Gossamer, in the Comedy of Laugh when mom Cars. His animar auce was, as is usual, cheered by that gratuitous applause which genera*, and candour never refose ; but Mr. Aleuts had proceeded but a very short way in the delivery of his part, before the audience found that his claims to their ap proval were founded on justice. His acting was evidently the result of those grand requisites, WM* and Experience. Mr. idri.vix is rather uu der the middle size, but he possesses such a dii racteristie vivacity, that this is immediately for t gotten. His enunciation is dear and distinct, and Ins e xpressioavjudicious and forcible. In the light volubility of Gossamer he was particularly snecesi !fit in preserving the due equipoise of his pdgineut, for in the most rapid parts of his denvery, his points were strictly observed and effected, an excel knee that it falls to the lot of experience alone to attain ; for the performance of such a part as Gus.. seater, the actor should have his feelings completely shiendsralled, he should have a previous poseiessiuti of the audience, and he should also know it ; there. fare, high as Mr. MELVIN has established his excel leuee we do not despair of seeing him under im proved circumstances on his next appearance, We were so well satisfied with Mr. ME !ATM'S perform ance of the character we have mentioned, that we freely confess, we felt something like regret at find ing that the fame he was likely to establish might possibly mutter some abatement by his having un dertaken the part of Michael in the farce of The Idspted Child. The incongruity of what he had performed, with what he was going to perform, nestle pm suspect:that he, like too many other actors wh o nit nit judgmeuf Ott their own powers, might suffer from a smiler-miscalculation ; but we veers deceined. acting of Michael was, we think, rather superior to his Gossamer ; it was impressive in the higheist 'degree, • mid felt and acknowledged universally t the audience; indeed, if applause be the fensf!efmt %Mot's ambition, we think that Mr. MEeviSelftipperite Must have been stimulated by Ilion , than common voracity, if he did not retire from the Theatre last night, not satiated, but mint fully. setiefied." • Mr. MEr.vin Ace announced to fill the same parts on Satunruy last, amidst a burs; of applause.
