TIIRATRES. DRURY-LANE. Last night was performed, for the .6 %t time. • drama called Pocahontas ; or, the Indian Princess. The story, which, we are informed by the bills, is (ounded on historical fart, is simple. It com mences with the scene of English settlers, or talker persons arrived on a voyage of discovery, ou the Amercian coast. This we learn from their chief, Captain Smith (Mr. Comma) who has taken on himself t h e title of President. They had been much annoyed by the lauliaos, had killed several of them in battle, awl taken their Chief prisoner. The President informs his followers that, being without supplies of provision, &c. he is determined in go up the river for the purpose of finding some friend ly tribe of Indians to silently their wants. He is accompanied by Scrivener, Ilia Vice-President (Mr. Fuove) and several of his 'mottle. Immedi ately after his departure, Nate/Wit (Mr. BARNARD) and Archer (Mr. BROMLEY), members of the Council, conspire against him. They release the Indian Chief (Jr. hoar(() from prison, on con dition that he would follow the banks of the river, watch the movements of Captain Smith, and bring him and his party into an istithmit, for destruction. The genetous Indian Chief, although he took his liberty, despised the motives of treachery that gave it. Captain Smith and his party, in their progress into tlx country, are surprised by heating the warbling of a female voice. They ars tort by Pocahontas (%lrs. W. Wesel. the daughter of the Emperor of the Indians, who is much smitten with the aopearatice of the Captain. She warns him of his danger. and advises bias to lake refuge in hie boats. The Indian Chief, whom Captain Smith left a irrisailer. is supposed to he dead by the Imbrue; They perform the funeral rites, and vow vengee.:ee against the intruders. The Chief. however, makes his appearance, relates the manner in which he wits released, and assures them that the English are tint gods, as they supposed, but the worst of men, at the saute time lie believed their Chief to he the best of them, and proposes that they should wait in ambush. and take Captain Smith and his party alive. The Captain strays away from his party, ac companied by his faithful Indian guide Mosca (Mr. ELLIOTT) awl again meets Pocahontas, %vim in foruts him of his danger, and invites him to snake his escape by a secret passage. He consents, but is prevented by the appearance of the Indians, and is !eke': with his faithful guide by his late miaow r and tribe. They are going to put him to instant death, but he diverts their attention by shelving their Chief a compass and a globe. and explaining the use of them. The Chief then det • sto send his prisoner before the Emperor, who orders him for execution ; and his head is put on the block, w hen Pocahontas throws herself over Ilion, and desires the exectitiotier to strike. The Emperor relents, and pardons Isis victim. At this moment the Vice-President errises with his followers. who are going to fire on the Indians, when they are stepped by Captain Smith. who informs theta that he owkl Mr life to the affecii )))) ate iliterference of Pocahontas, whom he is determined to marry, having made a peace with the Emperor of India, on which the curtain drops. .Too much praise can• not be bestowed upon the exertions of the per formers. Mr. Cooped represented the gallant Captain with great effect. Mr. BOOTH'. charac ter hears a faint resemblance to that of Kona, in Pizarro; what Gentleman had to do lie *IA well. Mr*. WesT, the heroine of the drama. was every thing the author could wish, but not what the audience would expect, for the part was not of sofficietit consequence for the full display of her excellent talents. The parts of Miss Povse and Miss CUBIT? were mere merely to in troduce some airs, which they sang sweetly. The scenery is pretty, and the music, although not new, is pleasing. The drama was well received by the audience s and was announced for repetition amidst great ap plause. OLYMPIC. A new Mosier! piece was produced last night at this theatre, entitled d Woman's Word ; or, Imaginary Evils. It abounds with the strongest interest, uttitvd with great comic power, and we have only to iestatice the great ability _displayed by Mrs. CHATTERLCY and Mr. DOWTON in thej► re spective parts, to prove the superior attraction which it ;Possesses.
