If it were true that the provisional Government of Greece had made its submission to Great Britain, as according to the present report, • terrible responsibility would rest upon the shoulders of our Ministry. Either England would not accept this submission, in which case ■ wbole.Chriatian race would he exterminated. or England would accept the offered protectorate, and the Porte and Russia would then arm according to the letter of the misting treaties, besides that, their respective politics would require it; what then will be come of the perm of the world ? France has been already plundered by the last diplomatic con ventions, whilst Russia, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, and even Eng land, were aggrandited. Would, then, France see united to Great Britain, a country where she was called to play a part so useful to her interests—so noble for her honour-i-so delightful, so touching) to humanity ? To prevent this, there would only have wanted on the part of our ministry a small portion of ability, knowledge, and courage. Let us suspend our judgment : let us wait for some event which may be retarded, but which must ones come; for sooner or later something ►ill happen to oblige us to come to a resolution upon Greece. There would only want thermion of the Mores to England to complete our overthrow from the political scale of nations. When then shall we have Ministers who will stretch their views beyond the Exchange, who will made/wend what they are about, and who will look upon as something the reputation and glory of 1 their country ? P.S.—pocuments which have just been communicated to u% tell us that, in tact, the Provisional Government of Greece has placed the wlpbrof Greece, continental and insular, under the protection of Great Britain. The negotiation waa carried on between Mauro cordato and Coo rnodore Hamilton. A packet from General Roche, announcing to the Greek Committee at Paris this important news, bas not arrived a: its destination. The official intelligence we cilia day publish from India, entitles us to expect that the Burmese war will soon be concluded to our entire satisfaction. By private letters we learn that it was expected that Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBE LL. would reach Procne by the Isth of March. There it was understood the enemy intended to oppose his strongest re sistance to the further advance of the British army. Accord ing to report, a force of 50,000 men and 800 war boats was collected, but the excellent health and spirits of our troops leave no doubt as to the result of the conflict. The general opinion was, that the Court of Ava would speedily sue for peace. The circumstances attending the progress of Sir Aac it' na Ca at ?BILL must fill the enemy with dread. Every difficulty has been overcome in the most gallant style, and the inhabitants have shown every disposition to afford assistance to the invaders, who they believe are come to deliver them from an intolerable despotism. Advioes have been rece:ved at Liverpool by a free trader, announcing the capture of Arracan by the British forces. CITY, CESDAT E•Exzra. The City was without reports, and the Stock Markets presented a gloomy appearance. The transactions in Con sols were by no means numerous, and there was rather a tendency in them to decline. They opened at 881 I, I I was afterwards the price ; and the last quotation was and the market had a firm appearance. Exchequer Bills were from par to 2s. premium. Many of die principal jobbers in the Foreign Market being heavy Bulls of Stock, Securities in it generally de clined, particularly those connected with South America. Colombian Bonds were 761 Mexican Scrip 91 i dis ount, and the New Guatemala Scrip 3 2; discount ; Brasilian Scrip 9 discount; Danish ditto 61 6. Spanish Bonds also experienced a decline to 21/. Greek Scrip was less affected by the day's depression than any stock in the market ; it continued at 17 16; discount all day. The Share Market was also in a very uninteresting state, and the near approach of the settling day operated unfa vourably upon it as well u upon the Foreign Market, and caused a paucity of business in it, speculators being engaged in making up their accounts. We ought, however, to ex cept British Iron Shares, which were greatly in demand. I They once reached 11 discount, and closed at 21 11 dis count. 'l6e Potosi Shares were much depressed in price; 21 ?, was their highest quotation. The Exchanges this evening remained nearly the same as last Friday ; but as there are a good many bills on hand, quotations are expected to be higher. The Mincing-lane Market had every appearance of im provement. Sugar rather advanced, Coffee was quite steady, and Ruin was a good deal inquired after. A letter dated Corfu, August 19, contains some details of the appointment of the French Colonel Fabvier to the command of a Greek regiment of infantry at Napoli di Romania. The Secretary General, Maurocordato, and the Minister of War, Metaxas, addressed the soldiers on their duties. The Archbishpp having finished the customary prayers, Col. Fabvier took the oath required by . the Greek constitution, and the soldiers swore obedience to him. Letters from Seville state, that numbers of arrests take place there daily, but generally among the lower orders of the +people. On the 13th ult. at five in the afternoon, a vessel entered Cadiz, having on board several persons from Seville, but it was not known what was. their quality or number; they were kept in the hold, and were strongly guarded. A French ship of war arrived the same day from Rochefort, having on board a detachment of 2SO sub officers and soldiers. The Brussels and Ghent Papers of Sunday reached us yesterday. They do not contain any intelligence of inte rest. A letter from Flushing states, that the pilot duties on English vessels are now placed on an equality with those of the country. Sir Wu'. Congreve arrived at Ghent on Friday evening. Accounts from llamburgh state, that the trade in linens was in great activity in Silesia ' and that the prices had risen. The fair at Frankfort had been very animated this year, and there were more than 500 foreign dealers there. Cloth, cottons, and woollen stuffs, were much inquired after. A letter from La Cuayra of the 16th of July mentions that two Spanish vessels, laden with sugar, had been captured by the Coloinbians, and carried into that port. l On account of the high price of that article, the cargoes were purchased with great avidity by the inhabitants. The works preparatory to cutting the Seine maritime anal are at present in full operation upon all the line from Paris to the sea. in the month of August alone the en gineers have levelled 44,000 metres in length and 33.000 in cross cuts: at the same time 22,000 metres have been bored in different places through which the canal is to run ; in this is comprised one of the principal cuts. The nature of the soil has been found much mere favourable 'than was to be supposed from some ill-founded assertions which have been made.—Cormier Francais. Mexico.—The priests yet possess great influence over the minds of the people of the late Spanish Provinces of America. They are struggling to preserve all the power the ' Roman Catholic Church had under the Monarchy. During the session of the Legislature of Vera Cruz, a learned me- ' morial was presented to it by Jose Jimenez, curate of Ja• laps, on the right of asylum prdposed to be abolished by the constitution. The metnorialist concludes by saying, that " the clergy willingly swear to the constitution, ex cepting the article abolishing asylum; and that if any cri minal should firs: to his church, his office would not allow' him to deliver him up to any authority, unless under pre vious oath of his being brought b ack ." 'fhe memorial in the House gave rise to a long and elaborate discussion. The President spoke on the occasion, and contended, after the doctrine of Heccaria, that " asylum Was unjust, because it secured impunity to vice, and establish. d a sovereignty tlistinrt from that of the people." It was finally resolved, that the clergy should not he obliged to swear to the con stitution until it should be approved by the National Cot:- grout.

The Preach Papers whlCE — arrived last night contain some fituber details respecting the defeat of the Turks before Missolengiri. Their loss appears to have been very severe. Between 7 and Stfito corpses were left in the ditches after the last assault. The fleet of the CAPITAN PACHA had retired to the Archipelago. The Journal de Path questions the correctness of the report that the Greek Go lernment bad offered to place itself under the protection of England. It admits that there had been frequent commu nirttions between the Anglo-lonian Government and :he Greek authorities at Napoli ; but it supposes that these related to an application for the supply of arms and am munition. The Editor of the Journal des Debuts, how tree, roundly aes•rts that he had seen documents, by which it appeared that the Greek Government has in effect! put the whole of Greece, both the Continent and the islands, under the protection of Great Britain. The nego tiation, he curies, W 39 conducted by MAUROCORDATO and Commodore Ham tt TON. The journalist insinuates that a de-patch from General !lactic to the Greek Committee a: Paris, announcing dila important event, has been in tercepted. There is no intelligence from Spain. The Etoile, it will be seen, denies that Don CAnLOS is about to leave the Pe tWnsula. nis departure, however, would probably be the best mode of quieting the fanatical party. Ile is the centre of their intrigues. Without him they would be utterly powerless, unless they fixed their attention on some other u:ember of the Royal Family. It is remarked by a corre spondent of the Memorial lair, that though the TO) al decrees, the despatches of the Generals, and the articles in the Madrid papers, all spoke of BEM tit VI as a traitor, no act was charged against him but that of depart ing from Getafe at the head of a squadron of cavalry. This was certainly an an of military insubordination, but it never before was considered treasonable. There is some iny tery connected with this adventure, which it is not jtzkell f tting at present to unfold. (From the Etu; fr, dated Mottlay.) PARIS, SETT. 11. The .I, , ;!!•l4•k.sGazttte of the 7th September has the following article, ue ler the hood i,r Corfu, Aug. 7 : "An English brig which arrived here yesterday from Minolonghl brings the fi , flowing details : " Tbere were sewn or eight thousand Turkish b dies in the! ditches of 31is:iilonghl, and the enemy's camp was, at it were, an nihilated. It 1- believed that the Seraskier would raise the siege. I. The fleet of the ("spit= Pacha has already retired in two divisions to the Archipelago, after having lott a brig of 13 guns and a j schooner, which were taken by the Greeks." There is no truth in the assertion of a Journal of this morning, that the Infant Dun Carlos has asked permission of King Ferdinand 1 to COON' to France. This news may be placed in the same line as ! , that which we find in another Journal, that French regiments are' expened at Bayonne to go and take the place of the Swiss at Ma- drid. _ . . _ _ (From the Jovraal de Purls of Sunday.) Pasts, SEPT. 10. A invest announces that the Greek Government has placed Itself under the 'proteetio, of England. So important a piece of tows reluires confirmation. There is no allusion whatever to it in user letters from Trieste. It was only known that for some time yea' ti a communications between the nglo-loniari Government at Corfu and Nspoli di Romania were very frequent ; and a report had seen been circulated in some places on the coast of the Adriatic that Or.ek a7ents hid come to Corfu to solicit a certain quantity o!.irtns and no-mu:him.

IISI Two f o.irs of war Live just entered Om rev, the Eng'is'a !tartly followed by thc rains' thunder. ~_ WArit The following sqlbount of the Covernment of this island will be read with interest at this moment : The President is elected by the Senate, and his office la for life; he has a revenue of 40,000 gourds (11,00(11.) lie has the privilege of indicating whom he wishes to succeed him, in a sealed letter ad dressed to the Senate, which body is, however, at liberty to elect whom they please ; it has even the power of attainting the Presi dent. The president exercises the executive power; he is the source of all honours, arid has the nomination to all posts. The legislative power is shared between the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. This Chamber is comprised of a deputy from each com mune, and two from each capital town ; the frlenibers must be landholders and have attained the age of twenty-three years; they are elected for five years. 'I hose electors who may happen to sell their votes are excluded from all employments under Government. The .Chamber is assembled on the lot April year, at Port.au- Prince ; the sittings last for three months. The Senate is composed of twenty-four Members, who are elected by the Chamber of Deputies for sine years. They ate chosen front a list containing three times the number of names, selected by the President, none. however, of which must belong to the Chamber of Deputies. It is necessary for a Senator to be thirty years of age; and none can be re-elected till three years have elapsed from the time of the ex piration of their former period of nine years. The Senate is speci ally charged with all that may concern the administration. The Senate sits constantly. and each Member receives a pension of I 1.609 gourds (about 310/.) The laws are very like those of France; their civil code is founded upon that, of France, se well as the forms of proceeding in use in the courts of law. There is a Caen of Cessation, a Court of Appeal, Police Offices, and Justice; of the Peace. The' influential class g the inhabitants of Cape-Henri and Port- an-Prince, the most considerable commercial towns of the island,. are exeremely solicitous to impress upon strangers a good opinion of their character fur affability, frankness, and politeness. Strangers are therefore received with the greatest attention ; they are under the immediate protection of the linvernment, and the in habitants are anxious in the observance of all the duties of hospi tality towards them. Everything contributes to accelerate the progress of knowledge and civilization. By the praiseworthyy efforts of the Government educadon is spreading with rapidity. R has formed establishment* where the first elements of the sciences are taught. There are four peat national Schools in each of the towns of Cape-Henti, Port-la- Paix, Sans-Souci, and Conaives; Port-eu-Prince has a Lyceum, and there is in each parish an instructor maintained at the expense of Government, besides several private institutions, The Lances terian, or the method of matual.inatruetion, is the one followed. The French and Latin languages, and the mathematics, are ge. neralfy taught in these establishments. There is an university founded by the ci•drvant King Henry, for the study of the sciences, and also a school fur surger y, with French masters. Vaccination has been introduced here. Tire same Henry also esta blished an Academy of music and painting ; he built a theatre which still subsists, and new buildings and edifices are con 'eructing on all sides; which sufficiently proves the rising prospe rity which this Republic has, for some time, enjoyed through the wise administration of the dovernment. The prevailing religion is the Roman Catholic, which the con, stitution has declared to be the reiHun of the State, with an hie. earthy similar to that of Europe. There Is, for the whole island, one Archbishop, whose See is at St. Domingo, the ancient capital of Hayti, but his episcopal palace is at Cape Hayti, formerly Cape Francais, which is the seat of Government, and destined to become the new capital. It is situated in north latitude 19°. 411 BO". It has a fine Cathedral, dedicated to Our Lady ; it is the seat of the University, the Academy of Music and Printing, and of a Theatre which is, with dancing and music, the principal amusement of the Haythuis. The population of the town amounts, as yet, only to , six thousand souls. That of the whole island is nearly a million. Although the Catholic religion is that which prevails, yet there exists a wise toleration of all other modes of worship. As for the whites established in the island, the Government lies declared' that it will not interfere in their domestic aftitirs, nor in their religious opinions (this is applied to the English and Anglo. Americans); so long as thew do not endeavour to make proselytes, or trouble those whose b.liel might differ from theirs. IBRAHIM PACII.4. [From the Orinstal Spectator of Aug. 1.1 (EXTRACT OT ♦ PRIVATE LITTER.) " 1 arrived at the camp of Ibrahim. Lodged in a simple hut, he was taking his repast and drinking out of a leather cup. I was struck with Ms manners, which are distinguished by gentleness and I fracefulness. In this beautiful plain, about fear leagues in ex tent, lying between Nisi and Calamata, the troops to the number iof 6XIOO or 6,000 pen were encamped. I was astonished on seeing then, exercised ; the Arabs drew up in good order, they formed in single column, perfectly keeping their distances and their ranks. After going through the manual exercise, they proceeded to tire in platoons, battalions, and files, all of which was executed admirably. Solinian Bey rode through the ranks and gave the word of comtnand in Arabic. He was babited in a splendid costume of scarlet cloth, covered all over with gold, having on his breast two suns formed of large diamonds, in a crescent also made of diamonds ; and was mounted on a beautiful grey Arabian charger. " My comps — nions, and myself, were enchanted at the fine ap pearance of these troops, and the precision with which they per. formed their evolutions. " Ibrahim Pacha before he proceeded to make an excursion in , the Peloponnesus left a garrison in Navarino and In Old Navarino, and divided his army of 14,000 men into three corps, which Marched by three different rootes'; the first, towards Arcadia; the scone! towards Androussa ; and the third along the shore to wards the bottom of the Guff of Ceron, by way of Nisi and Cslsmita. On his arrival at the first of these two places, 'Within' set tire to the farm-houses and villages abandoned by the Greeks, who had fled into the mountains, and had feared to trust the friendly promises which had been made to them. Having traversed a part of Arcadia, he met with the Greeks near a chain of moun tains, called Alas, and put them to flight; be afterwards overtook them, and completely defeated them. " Nothing can equal the discipline of the Arabs, and their ad. mirable subordination. It'llen once the order Is given they rush upon danger, even though they were certain of all perishing. if I saw Ibrahim great under the modest thatched roof, I also saw him with pleastire in the camp, and in the midst of Oriental pomp at Motion, before he set out on his excursion. 1 first ascended a hill, on hich the tent of his second in command was placed. The camp was advantageously situated. The town and the for. tress protect It on the sea side, where there is a mass of houses, in the midst of which . are a church, and the dwelling of the Go! vernor. We see a great number of tents, and father on, towards 'the centre s a large green tent, surmounted by a gilded globe. This is Ibrahim's tent, which is adorned inside with all the mag. niticence of the East. It is composed of a great number of pieces of India stuff, each of which is said to be worth 800 piastres. The ground is covered with splendid Persian carpets and cushions of I Lyon's silk. Above the tents, along the beach, there is a pretty steep hill, on the summit of which are other tents, and some pieces of cannon. A well of fresh water is in the middle of the camp. The number of troops at that time in it was 0,000 men. The tent of Achmed was in this upper camp." Extract of a letter from Captain Jamieson, of the Mar quis of Iluntly, from Sierra Leone, dated Motherbank, Sept. 1c1:—" I arrived here with the Marquis of Iluntly, from Sierra Leone, in 41 days. I left at that place the schooner Nassau, Tremainc, who was very sick, also his mate, and some of the crew; the Captain was recovering, and I advised him to get his people carried on board and sail, as there was a greater chance of their recovery at sea than on shore, as the rainy season was set in ; if she is not yet arrived, you may expect to hear of her soon ; she had in timber and cam wood. The Colonial brig Prince Re gent sailed with us on the 23d July, having on board the Captain, mate, and part of the crew of the piratical schooner which we took on the Gold Coast on the 15th Ja nuary; they had murdered several men on the Coast, and taken their property from them; they also had a plan laid to take the Pilchard schooner, which lay in Cape Coast R0P.13, %Hi a considerable value on board. I was in formed of the plan by Captain Coutts, the master of that vessel, that she was in danger; I consequently sent an armed . party on board of her, to guard her for the night, and next day moored her close to our ship, where our guns could protect her; two days after we succeeded in taking the mare. They said they bad no power et Sierra Leone to try that case of piracy, so the General and Go vernor has sent them home to England for trial, in the above-mtritioned vessel, Prince Regent. If she be not arrived I am afraid something has happened, as she is a fart sailer." A seaman belonging to the Windsor Castle, of bad cha racter, and one who was considered to disgrace his Majes ty's Navy, after various means had been tried to reclaim him, was, on Thursday last, drummed out of the Fleet. This imposing ceremony was performed by the culprit being placed in the ship's boat, with his hands tied before him, a halter about his neck, and a paper, on which was described his effence, fastened to his hack, and rowed alongside of every matrof war in our harbour, the drum mers in the boat sweetly serenading him with the honour able air, the " Rogue's March." After he had gone through this pleasing round, he was landed at Mutton Cove, with his paraphernalia, amidst the laughs and sneers of a great number of persons assembled.—Devonshire free- Astrologers tell us, all sublunary beings are influenced by the .Planets, and that the conjunction next month of the three great luminaries, Venus, liars, and Jupiter, in Gemini, portends great events, as each of the three planets will Le in a twin sign, and operate with double force, or equal to Six.

DELICATE Iterm—At a ball [given by the City of , Paris to Bonaparte, was a Madame Cardon. The Corsi can, in general, Was not very fond of people who had be come rich by any means but his own favour. Re had never seen Madame Cardon, whose name even he had not known before; but he had been told that her husband was possessed of great wealth. lie walked towards 'her with a peevish sort of air, and said to her very abruptly, " Are von Madame Cardon ?" She made a profound curtsey to this question. Bonaparte, continuing his discourse, said, " You ate very rich ?" " Yes, Sire," she replied, " I hare ten children."—Bonaparte, struck with the delicate force of this reply, walked away quickly. The military mustachios of the " Tenth,' their splen- I did dress, and manly appearance, wrought such an impres sion on the Bristol ladies, that some of them had thought proper to follow them to Exeter. Two of these fair dam sels, very respectably attired, were seized by their friends on Sunday, and put into a coach, as prisoners of war, to be conveyed home. FATAL DUEL.—txtract of a letter, dated Paris, Satur day morning:—" Dubost, the painter, who had an-exhi bition some years since in Pall-mall, and resided after wards in the King's Bench, has just been killed in a duel with his architect, at the age of fifty. Dubost was a skil ful swordsman—his opponent knew no more of his weapon than the poor painter did of architecture, but feeling the smart of a wound in his shoulder, he rushed furiously on Dubost, and ran him fairly through the body." Imraov4stxwrit AT DUBLIN CASTLE.—The front wall of the centre division of the Castle, which consists of the presence-chamber, has been taken down, and the brick work is being replaced by a handsome front of cut stone. Workmen are also employed at the left wing of the build ing, comprising the elegant suite of drawing-rooms leading to the presence-chamber, and are effecting upon it an im provement similar to that which the corresponding range at the other side underwent some time back ; and which, when completed, will give to the entire structure an ap pearance of uniformity and neatness.—Dublin Evening Post. INVESTMENTS 1t SCOTLAND.—MT. George Robins is directed to sell, in November next, the very valuable free hold estates of ltuskie, and the lands of Cart, situate in the county of Perth, ten miles from Stirling ; it compre hends altogether upwards of 1,200 Scotch acres of fine land. The soil in this neighbourhood is proverbially good ; the tenants substantial, and the rents regularly paid ; the si tuation is tinusttally romantic and beautiful, it includes the far-famed Grampian Hills, the vale and Loch of Mon teith, and the rich intermediate space. The estate of Gart is situate on the bank of the river Teith, about a mile from the port town of Callander. This interesting pro perty, it is said, possesses in great variety both hill and dale, rood and water, in a sporting country, and sur rounded by the most interesting scenery, for which this part of Scotland has been so long famed. A more delight fiti spot for a gentlemanly retirement it would be very difficult to select ; and as a safe investment for capital, ap pears well entitled to the consideration of the monied in terest. An association of a private nature, but of men of known wealth and character, has been formed to recover the trea sures which were sunk in Vigo Bay in the reign of Queen Anne. Smollett describes the amomit as fourteen millions of pieces -of-eight; and we arc informed that the galleons arc entire, and may be distinctly traced at low water. The contract is with an Englishman, and the half of what is re covered is to go to the Spanish Government, which is suf , fiziently anxious to see the undertaking speedily realized. The great diving bell of liamsgate, and other bells, with a complete crew of English divers, under a strong protec tion, will sail in a few days. It is ascertained that the 'galleons are on a sandy bottom, and if we may believe what we hear, there is no doubt of success. The Bay of Vigo being enclosed with a narrow entrance, is very calm and this will much favour the undertaking. Should the plan succeed, it will be a fortunate circumstance for the Spanish Government, and will enable it, if it be honest, to re-establish the credit which it has deservelly lost by the refusal to pay the loan of the Cortes.—Globle and Tra veller. BARTHOLOMNW For e understarul that early in the ensuing week the Committee of City Lands is to meet upon the subject of Bartholomew Fair, and it is expected that a strong Ant will be made to prevent its continuance. The friends of the fair are determined to do all in their power to counteract the at. tempts of its enemies, and we believe a very warm contention will arise. The Lord Mayor has received innumerable communications from those who are adverse to the exhibitions, from the belief 'that apprentices and other young people are induced to seek improper means of enjoying the entertainments. Amongst those communications is one from a person who subscribes himself " A Working Alan." Ile throws out a hint, which might be of some utility. "31illit nor," he says, " the ground usually taken up by those useless and injurious exhibitions be appropriated to purposes ' more beneficial to the public? There are, an doubt, in this great city, many tradesmen, chapmen, &c. who have in their possession la vast quantity of aup.:riluous articles that lay year after year as a dead stock, articles that are imperfect, unfashionable, or some. what injured, yet could be used by many, and, no doubt, could they be exposed to public sale, would meet very ninny pur. chasers, especially amoritt humble tre.lesmen and the lower order u society." PLITMARKAT THFATRE. This house has old and pleasant recollections about it, together with some advantages and diadvantages, whi ch are peculiar to itself. Among the latter we reckon the sid e boxes. No small item in the roll of its merits is, that i t possesses Fatten and Liston, and puts one in mind of Foo te and the Colmr.ns, bYlth fttther and son—the latter loti,„ he was licenser. Indeed, it is the only place in which to enjoy Liston and a comedy, when we can get one (which has been seldom of late), for the humour is brought home to you, and the spirit of it not suffered to evaporate, as j ft the great houses. It is joke light ! One comes in bodil y contact with the rig cornice of the author, without the aid of , an car trumpet and the phyz cofnica of Liston is visibl e , Ito the naked eye. It is dte real presence of the man of fun that salutes your ravished sight, and you luxuriat e in all the " quips and cranks" nature has played in his physiognomy. At Drury one sees him through a glass (a Dollond) darkly, but here face to face; and 'every p ar . tide in his neves-to-be-forgotten countenance it Impressed upon the visual organ with tenfold vividness. We kno w every Listonian grin intimately—in cute VI it were -Land got his face by heart. This is no trifling advantage to b oth authors and auditors, for it disposes the one party to I A pleaSed, hod,rentiers the other more .pleasing than they could generally be without such assistance. A five-act comedy is a thing,Mit of the tluettion--not to be thought of at dais time of day, and both play-writers and play-goers appear to have given up the idea as imprao. ticable. For our part we are incredulous on the subject too, and Would as soon expect the discovery of the North west passage as the composition of another John Bull, or Sc/v! for Scandal. But if our comic writers dread to send their wits on a voyage through five tedious acts on the unpacffic ocean of a play-hoese;• thej have latterly attempted shorter trips with some share of success. Thr f have occasionally} made a cruise to France, and introduced foreign CoMmot!ities as well as cultivated inland navigation and home produce. • We have no quarrel with this —DO disposition to diminish the quantity of mirth and go o d humour, whencesoever or howsoever it may come. Whit of no country ! We are always ready to welcome It with out reference to its birth-place. " Tros Tyriusve mrdi nun." tiffscrtmisie agetur." Mr. Poole, the author of the new piece represented at this house last night, has been very successful in the lite rary intercourse with our French neighbours to which we have alluded, but whether Paul Pry is another fruit of his traffic with that nation we are not prepared to lay, sod are, indeed, quite indifferent upon the subject. It ii enough the piece is a good one, and we are content. „ - In it Liston and Farren are, as usual, the oil and vinegar; and a very pleasant Ballad they composed between them, aided by the other characters and performers. It is just the dish for the season, cool, piquante, and stimulating. Enough of laughter is excited, considering the heat of the weather, and that there is no safety valve as yet invented, whereby superfluous cachinations can escape without blow. ing the roof off the hduse in their egress. The dialogue of the piece is smooth if not sparkling, and there are few bad verbal jokes, because few have been attempted, and the humour of the drama is permitted to rest upon the in. nite drollery of the characters and situations. Of the latter some are very good—none bad--and all bustling and animated, with an occasional share of pleasant equivoque and laughable blunders. Among the characters, Paul Pry is the most conspicuous, and was performed with ini mitable drollery by Liston. The plot of the piece, though sufficiently varied and busy for the purposes of stage effect, is soon told— Colonel Hardy (Farren) has a daughter whom he is desirous of uniting in marriage with an old acquaintahce whom he has not seen for many years. IVhen the piece opens, he is expect. ing the arrival of his friend's son and his own nephew, with the persons of neither of whom he is acquainted. Meanwhile his daughter Eliza (Miss Glover) has formed an attachment for Harry (Mrs. iVavlett), a bouncing little beau, whom she has seen while at a boarding-school. Of course she is hostile to the match proposed by her father, with a man she has never seen, and whose name she does not even know, but is too apprehensive of the consequences likely to result from the disappointment of his favorite scheme to remonstrate with her positive paps. Harry arrives, and through the inquisitive disposition of Mr. Paul Pry, and the active jealousy of the Colonel, he is discovered. To avert the effects of her master's anger from her young mistress, Phoebe (31adame Vestris) represents to Colonel Hardy, that this is his fondly ex. pected nephew. The old man is deceived—the young couple re joice—Harry relates that he has fled his father's house so avoid a match with a woman of whom he knows nothing, except that the old gentleman has determined he shall marry her. The lovers are now alarmed by the arrival of the true Simon Pure In the person of Frank Hardy (Raymond), the real nephe w o f t h e Colonel. However, he is apprised of their situation, and agrees to keep the secret, and co-operate with them . . Colonel Hardy take& his nephew for the son of his old friend Stanley, and the intended husband of hia daughter, come incognito to examine into the state of affairs. Some farther difficulties and mistakes occur, which are all finally set at rest by the discovery that Ihrry, the lover of Eliza, is the identical Harry Stanley, intended to be h e r h us b an d b y h er father and his old friend. As soon as it is disclosed that this wits the match in contemplation by all parties, every thing is aecommo. dated, and the aforesaid Harry Stanley and Eliza Hardy &remarried accordingly. There is a kind of underplot, consisting of the adven tures of a certain old bachelor of 6a, named tiriilierton (Mr. Pope), who is robbed and led by the nose by a certain roguish steward and housekeeper. The latter is also en deavouring to marry him with the view of mote effectually accomplishing her double purpose. Witherton has' a nephew (Somers), Mr. W. Johnson who, together with his wife Marian (Miss A. Jones), has been estranged from the old gentleman by the trickery of the two worthy do. medics already mentioned, Grasp, (Mr. Younger), and Mrs. Subtle (Mrs. Glover). Through the exertions of Colonel Hardy, and the busy interference of Paul Pry, the housekeeper. is disappointed in her matrimonial specu lation, the steward discarded, the master emancipated from the tyranny of his own domestics, and his ill-used nephew and niece restored to a share of his favour and fortunes. After our already copious remarks, it is only necessary to add, that all the performers exerted themselves in a manner that contriouted not a little to the favourable reception of the piece. We have already mentioned Liston, Nilo was the prop of the play in the character of the curious imper tinent. Paul Pry is a sketch, of which we doubt not there exist many prototypes in real life. He is one of those curious personages so frequently to be met with in country villages, who, having no affairs of their own to trouble them, graciously and gratuitously trouble themselves about the affairs of every other human being within the scope of their acquaintance and the sphere of their activity. Paul s fingers are in every man's pottage, and, as might bo ex pected, be gets them burned pretty often. With the ben intentions, as lie says himself, but rather as we should say, without any intentions at all, be is always doing some par ticular piece of mischief, and is a kind of modern Ma,/ kt in real life. Farren's cue, as Colonel Hardy, was to be dogmatic and positive, and he was bath to some purpose. The vacil lating character of Witherton was not ill-suited to the helpless inanity of Mr. Pope's style of acting, and as such he was accordingly tolerably successful, except in the recognition of his nephew and niece, which is a note be yond "the top of his bent." Mr. Younger's Grasp was a most commendable piece of villany. With respect to the ladies, they were adequately repro sented by Misses Glover and Jones, and the ladies' maids were efficiently performed by Madame Vestris and Mrs. Glover. The former was the queen of intriguing chamber maids, and sung two intr o d uce d songs d e li g h t f u ll y t wice over, each time more deli g htf u l th an t h e f ormer . 11 regard to Mrs. Clover, she is the seine of all that is portly and termagant in housekeepers, and in her last scene was s perfect Sir Giles Over reach in petticoats.
