THE OPERA. laxg's Thcatre. Tsaa Comic Opera of 11 Fanatic° di Berliner was repeated on Saturday last, and very well re ceived. This Opera, with some alterations, is, in fart, La Locanda, a very pleasant piece, originally 'brought forward at the Pantheon, durinc , the short period when Operas were performed at that place. — The Music is by PAESIELLO, and is charaterized by that spirit, gaiety, and judicious contrivance which peculiarly distinguish his compositions. The Opera was followed by a ballet entitled .Paphos Assiege par les Scythe:, which is also a re vival of a piece originally represented at The Pantheon. It was composed by D'AUBERVAL. The atory is allegorical, and implies the triumph of beauty over strength. D'EovILLE and Mad. LABORIE particularly distinguished themselves in their _Tenting match. HILLIGSBERG ) LABORIE, and ST. PI ERRE should not pass without praise. The Theatre was much better attencied than is usual so late in the Season. pre have received the following Letter 15V the Two.penoy ; can have Lo in complying wiLLI ...- Li N's ::quest.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slii, Os' the r6th of March r Soi, I sent to your Paper a Prophecy, addressed to the Right Hon. HENRY ADDINGTON, which you was .so good as to insert. That the Public and the World at large, may now have an opportunity of judging whether I am a true Prophet, or an Impostor, I Call upon your justice, (and I know I shall not call in vain,) to re-publish it word for word. If you comply with this request, you shall soon hear again froth Fight my Cave, tune i 9, 180 i. MERLIN. Ararcb 16, Is° TO THe RIGHT HONOURABLE HENRY ADDINGTON. SIR, 1-lAinNo seen in the Papers of to-day, that you have at length receive„ the Seals of Office as the Prime Minister; I rake up .the Pen; not to con ,i.t,ratulate you, who have nobly run the risque of sacrificing yourself for your KING and Country, but that KiNo and that Country, on. an event, which, in my (pinion ) affor.i to the latter the best chance of salvation. Personally unconnefled, and indeed unacquainted with you ; I can have no motive to set up as your Panegyrist. That is, by no means, my objeti in addressing you : fulsome praise bestoWed on :Inv man would be no less dercgatory to my high calling, than it would be wholly out of character. But though a Prophet, I am an Englishman ; and the power of diving into Futurity, which I exer cise in the former capacity, need not interfere with the feeling which animate me in the latter. These I will not suppress ; but will once - for all give vent to them. You have taken a step, Sir, to which fools will say you was stimulated by a love of Power, and which knaves may, perhaps, suspe& you have accomplished by Intrigue ; but to which the good, the observing, and the wise will know, that your sole inducements must have been a pure unadulterated love for the Country, of whose Constitutional Rights yo❑ have ever been a firm and zealous Champion, and a becoming attach ment to the Monarch upon the Throne. You have quitted a situation of great Dignity, Emolument, Respea, and. comparative Repose, for one which presents nothing but Trouble, Fatigue, Difficul ty, and Danger, beyond_ all example complicated and formidable, for one which you never sought or solicited, but which was forced upon you by a sense of duty, I assert, that of such a sacrifice, in the Annals of the World, there will be found no parallel. I should be unworthy of the flan - 1c...0f a Prophet, had I not long foreseen that the period was ap proaching, when you would be required to break forth from the shackles in which the Chair had long confined you, to exercise your talents in a larger sphere. The splendid qualities pOssessed by your Predecessor, were, perhaps, exaaly those which best suited the stormy period in which he has had the opportunity of exercising them. But re.. fleding men saw no prospea, under even his A& ministration, of the wounds of the Country being finally closed : this blessed task, Sir, Providence may, perhaps, (for I dare not speak out), have re served for you, from whose public spirit untainted by passion, from whose purity of mind, moderation without timidity, and firmness without obstinacy, your Country has so much to . hope. Without presuming to offer you any general advice, which my long experience ,and perfed knowledge of human nature would very well war, rant, I shall now proceed to foretell (which was the principal purport of my Address), and with a perfea certainty of my Predidions being fulfilled, both what you will do, and what yon will not, in your new situation Should prove a true Prophet, I ask nothing from the Public but future confidence •;—if false, I exped nothing better, than—what some other modern Prophets have ex perienced, the contempt and ridicule of all man kind. " You will pursue, in most respects, the great and brilliant outline chalked out by your Prede cessor, in resisting Innovations arid crushing Se dition ; and with respe& to Foreign PuWers, in taking no measure inconsistent with the real terests, or derogatory to, the real dignity of Great Britain. You will shew that you are not afraid of the continuance of War, however solicitous you may be to attain the blessings of Peace, Towards the accomplishment of this great objea, you will neither wound the proper pride of your Countrymen by stooping too low, nor unnecessarily; create ob stacles to it, by holding too high a language. , 4 You will not suffer a GovernMent of Depart ments to exist, but will take care that one mind an 4 one spirit shall pervade the whole. You will be unremitting in your attention to Public Business; and will not only be accessible to all who may have business to transact with you, but affable in your demeanour towards them. " You will treat Foreign Ministers with the at tention and respeft they deserve : and thus, instead of irritating, by an opposite behaviour, will con ciliate- the Courts by which they are employed. In your correspondence you will be puntual :—to all all applications your answers will be immediate : your promises will he sacred. " Your Administration will, in all respeds be most economical. You %via be watchful over the public expenditure even in all its details. In filling up vacancies you will disregard great interests, and will only consult the permanent interests of the Country. In all Appointments, civil,, naval, or military, you will be very sele6t and circumspea, and will take care that the other departments should be equally so. You will shun all jobs yourself, and discountenance them in others. You will make no additions to the Peerage except as a reward for public services, or on some very-special occasion : but you will give..all ,p9s§,ible encouragement to merit in the Closet, and gallantry in the Field,: by personal notice, and public remuneration.

As a puha man, prosperity will never elate, nor difficulties dis.nay you." Here, Sir, I stop, at least for the present. — Should my Prophecy fail in any core pint, 1 shall begin to suspea that I am under the influence of a delusive spirit ; if in min . y, (which I cannot fear) I shall break my wand,. and burn my mantle. I shall close with the admirable advice which WOOLSEY gives to CkomwELL, and which I .fore_ see you will consider as your Motto.: " Love thyself last those hearts that hate the: " Corruption wins not wore than Honesty.

IT appears ? that on Tuesday last a stage, on which it was intended that Belcher and Burke shoul,l exhibit 'afresh trial of their skill .and streng'h, watt ere&cd in a bye place about t .eel ye miles distance frdm Middleham, in Yorkshire, and so come viently situated for the purpose, that no . person pre. sent could have been deorived of a full view of the sight. On the Titursday following, at one o'clock, FLETCLIER. ft.ctn, Lso. on the part of Beicher, and Captain FL FICH ER on be half of Burke, met on this spot, to make good the stake of 1450 guineas a side, being the sum which Belcher and Burke were matched t o fight his. The conditions having been fulfilled, :Belcher. ap peared on the stage at a romrter before two o'clock. attended by . 70,- Ward, as his .second, and dill Gihboiss, as his bottle-holder ; a:o.1 shortly nfter Burke 'joined them, with - .Crabli o as his bottle holder, but no second.. The two - Bruiser § shook hands, and Burke observed, " that it Would now be' determined which was the best man ;" to which Bel_ ebei replied, " he was surprised he did not know that already." There were several hundred persons pre sent on the tiptoe of expeaation to see the con:Ta commence ; but the combatants could not set to, as Harr y Lee had, not ascended the stage , w h o was Burke'-s promised second. On his name being called out among the crowd, he answered to it ; but w`eni asked why he did not appear• in his place, he gave no other explanation than that he would' have no.. thing to do with the fight.- This cirenmstance produced general dissatisfac.. don, as it was declared teat .this determination-on the prt of . Lee could have only been oeqesioned a previous understanding between him and Burke's friends, who now began to think of the l.nge sums they had at stake, and the little chance they had o f success. No bets could be procured on the ground without staking considerable odds. As Burke re fused to accept any other SecOnd in the room of Lee, all hope of a contest now vanished, and the Champions retired from l the stag;?. Belcher, how ever, unwilling to disappoint the company, offered to have a few rounds with Burke for pule love, but he declined, and immettiately sat off in a vat-chaise. Mr.Ii'LETCHER Rr to, who-backed 12,-I,7:er, made him a present of sol. for his trouble, and to hear his expences to London. He also made a present to Ward, the second, .and to the bottle-holder, with moue s' to Lear their expences to town. The Yorkshire people, it appears, - did not en courage the idea of Prize-fighter'-; comirg among them, any more than the Magistrates ; for about o'clock they were ‘ , lsited by two (rates and : the Dean of York, who de,ired that no fight might take place ; but havin g no posse cirri_ talus to enforce their orders, the battle would have proceeded, had it not; been for the ciscurnstance we have stated.'

On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Le.-z-u;s a King's Messenger, put a period to his cxistemze, by shooting himself with a pistol,. at his house in, Crown -court, Westminster.
