" Since the days of Talma, the finances of the Theatre Francais, the chief, if not the only seat of the regular drama in Paris, have been as seriously deranged as those of the great houses in London ; but the singular favour with which a new tragedy has been received from the pen of M. Ancelot, under the title of Elizabeth d' Angleterre, pro mises to do as much for this theatre as the efforts of ➢Liss Fanny Kemble are doing for Covent-garden. " Although the Este of the Earl of Essex be the subject of this piece, the gallant but inconsiderate and unfortunate Williant Devereux himself appears only in two of its early scenes, the present author having confined himself in a great measure to the incidents arising from his execution ; and in fact it is the Queen herself, the Countess of Not tingham, the Earl her hush mil, and Sir Walter Raleigh, who form the principal persons of this drama. The subject, indeed, is not new either to the French or English stage, and if lam not mistaken, the English Earl of Essex' still re mains among the stock plays of Drury-lane and Covent-gar dun, but Le Comte d'Essex ', of Thomas Corneille is now scat rely known to the present generation, but by the ce lebrated verse— " Le crime fait la hunts et non pas l'echafaud.' " Voltaire in his remarks on this piece, is maliciously severe on the loves of the old Queen, and the fanfaronades of her young admirer; and he concludes Lis criticism with the following, as a complete analysis in two words of the drama of Corneille, Je yeas qu'il me demande pardon? Je ne veux pas demander pardon? Voila toute la piece.' M. Ancelot has adopted a passage from Hume as the theme of his drama. After the return of Essex from his successful expedition to Cadiz, observing how much his recent dangers had encreased the Queen's attachment to him, he took the opportunity of expressing some alarm lest his absence on distant service should give his enemies an opportunity, by the assiduity of their attentions, of injuring his interest in her Majesty's favour. Elizabeth, whose character was so open at all periods of her life to feelings of romance, presented him with a ring, which she desired him to preserve as a pledge of her affection, assuring him that whatever disgrace he might fall into, her original sentiments would be restored by the mere exhibition of this precious deposit. Through all the vicis situdes of his fate be preserved the gift, to serve him in case of need in the last extremity. When tried, and con demned to death, he resolved to try its effect. Ho confided it to the Countess of Nottingham, begging her to present it to the Queen. The Earl of Nottingham, the declared enemy of Essex, prevented his wife from execut ing the commission. Elizabeth, however, did not doubt that her favourite would have recourse to this means of safety, but having waited in vain for this last mark of con fidence and repentance, and indignant at what she regarded as a new mark of pridiand contempt, she signed, after many delays and many internal struggles, the sentence which had been dictated by policy and resentment. " The Countess of Nottingham fell sick, and seeing her en d approaching, she was disturbed with remorse for such an act of infidelity ; she begged the Queen to come to see her, revealed to her the fatal secret, and implored her clemency. Elizabeth, in surprise and fury, exclaimed, God may pardon you, but I never cau !' She thus left her in anger, gave herself up to despair, and passed ten days and ten nights extended a carpet, obstinately refusing all medical assistance. As every thing announced that she had not many hours to live, the Council assembled, to ask her pleasure as to the successor of the Crown. ' I have borne the sceptre of Kings,' she said, a King will succeed me, it can be no other than my nearest relative, James of Scotland.' "It is not by the fate of the favourite, that this author wishes to affect us, but by an able combination of circumstances he compels us to take part in the jea lous torments of Elizabeth, whose age we forget in the passion and remorse of her rival, the Countess of Nottingham, in whose arms he passed the night which immediately preceded his execution. Already found guilty by the Privy Council, he owed the indulgence of being confined in his own house rather than in the Tower to the personal favour of the Queen. The presence of the Countess of Nottingham infers in such circum stances equal heedlessness and audacity, but love, they say, and folly, are nearly allied ; fur it was not surely the young rival of the Queen who was likely to be a successful inter cessor with the jealous Elizabeth, nor the fittest person to be entrusted with the ring in which his own safety was so closely bound up; nor is the folly of the proceeding very well explained by the amorous extravagance of the lines— " Rien ne doit me touter pour bannir tea alartnes " ' Et j'aime mieux mourir qu' avoir cause tee larines.' " A powerful scene is produced at a later period of the drama by the exchange which is made of a rich scarf, which had been wrought by the Countess, for the ring. When arrested by Raleigh, no resistance is offered to the seizure of his papers, but be defends the scarf with great obstinacy. It is however carried to the Queen, who, when Nottingham comes to intercede for Essex, shows it to him, after telling him of the Earl's new act of infide lity, which he will not believe. " De ce coupable amour la preuve est la ! Crois moi ! " ' Cette nuit it recut de celle qu'il adore, " Une echarpe. " IiOTTINGHAM.-(LUI.) " Elinbeth sliming the scarf—' Tiens, regarde, et doute encore ! ' Nottingham is devoured with rage and the desire of vengeance : he asks only a single favour— " Ordonnez qu soit libre une heure, un seul moment, " 11 faut que je lui parole, it faut que je le voie.' " This fine scene is very well executed by Mademoiselle Leverd and Lafont, and produces a very great effect ; it ends the third act, which passes in the Queen's cabinet. In the fourth act, the splendid decorations of which are a representation of Westminster Hall, Elizabeth has signed the sentence. Essex is at the Tower, from whence he writes to Lady Nottingham to beg her to send the ring to the Queen, which was to unbind his chains. The sudden arrival of Elizabeth prevents the Countess from reading the letter, and already devoured by remorse, she is obliged to submit to the complaints and the hopes of her rival. At length the Queen retires, the Countess learns how Essex is to be saved, and is about to run to Elizabeth with the ring when Nottingham appears and prevents her. This situation is highly dramatic. Unable to deny her crime, she at length confesses it, calling down upon her head the vengeance of an outraged husband. She still wishes to save the life of Essex, but Nottingham in fury will not allow her to leave him. She then exclaims— " Laissez moi arracher aux bourreaux—Grace ! grace !' " Look, says Nottingham, pointing out to her at the bottom of the scene where the soldiers wore leading Essex to the scaffold. The Countess falling into a swo,.n exclaims, " Ali qu' ai-je-vu ! '‘ 6 NOTTINGHAM. " C'est ton amant qui passe'-- " Elizabeth, however, always flatters herself that Essex will implore her clemency, by presenting the pledge of par don which she would return to him in happier days. A fine scene occurs between her and Raleigh, which is thus concluded : " ' Allez Raleigh, que l'arret s'accomplisse, " ' Pour la derniere foie j'ordonne son supplice.' " Scarcely has the order been given, when the Countess of Nottingham rushes in, bringing with her the ring. Elizabeth, although moved to see in such hands, wishes to suspend the execution, but Nottingham tells her that Essex has ceased to live. The Countess loses her senses, the husband retires overwhelmed with the Queen's reproaches. and the unhappy Elizabeth, after tear ing the diadem from her brow, says to the courtiers who surround her— " Sortez. De mon pouvoir le Bernier jour a fui, " Jacque est roi d' Angleterre, addresses VOW a lui.' An amended police bill for Ireland is to be brought forward by Lord Layssox GOWER.

LORD FITZROY SOMERSET'S LIST.-Ma jor-General Lord FITZROY SOMERSET, K.C.8., as Mili tary Secretary to General Lord HILL, G.C.B. and G.C.H., Commanding in Chief, went through his list yesterday, at his office in the Horse Guards. A few Generals, and about Awenty other officers, transacted mili tary business with his Lordship. M. DE POLIGNAC has been indisposed, and a mystery has been made of his illness for some days. believe that he is oppressed by the weight of affairs which he has contrived to render so alarming. Every thing that transpires on the discussions in the Cabinet is enough to excite pity. It is said that one day M. LE LA DOUR.. DONNAYX, overcome with ennui, and humiliated by so many nullities, exclaimed in a moment of impatience, " Gentlemen, gentlemen, give up your affairs of capu chins : let us think of more serious matters."—Paris Letter. We understand that RICHARD TOWNSEND, Esq., of Sarroo, SOD of JOHN SEALY TOWNSEND, Esq., will he the High Sheriff, and CARDEN TERRY, Esq., the sub-Sheriff of this County, for the ensuing year.—Cork Constitution. Saturday evening last Wax. BAKER, jun. Esq. of Liseahil, near Thurles, was fired at by an assasain, while the former gentleman was writing at a window. The ball grazed his head, and lodged in the ceiling of the:room, This has been the second attack on Mr. BAKER.— Limerick Chronicle. The last New York Papers mention the death of the Hon. PETER DERBIGNY, Governor of the State of Louisiana. His death, it appears, was occasioned by a wound in the head, received from the trunk of a tree, when leaping from his carriage to avoid the danger about to re sult from its being overturned. Governor DERBIGNY, it is stated, has successively filled the offices of Attorney- General, Judge of the Supreme Court, and Secretary of the Commonwealth. In consequence of his death, H. Eau vats, Esq., President of the Senate, will temporarily fill the office of Governor. Dr. ARBUTHNOT says, " That money lenders are like wiredrawing mills; if they get hold of a man's finger, they will pull in the whole body at last." LIEUTENANT-GENERAL THE RIGHT HON. Sin. G. MURRAY, M.P.—lt is with the sincerest plea sure we have to state, that at a meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen, held here on Friday last, for the purpose of considering the propriety of requesting Lieutenant-Gene ral the Right Hon. Sir GEORGE MURRAY to sit for his portrait, with the view of its being placed in the County Hall, as a testimonial of respect from this county, with which he is immediately connected, the meeting was most cordial in its approbation of the resolutions proposed and passed for the above purpose ; and considering that no public intimation had been given of the meeting, or its in tended object, the amount of the subscriptions already en tered is not only hononrable to the county, but must afford the gallant General the sincerest gratification, from the evidence it bears of the high estimation which his native county entertains of his military services. The subscrip tions at the Meeting amounted to nearly 5001. The fol lowing Committee was appointed to carry the object of the Meeting into effect :—His Grace the Duke of ATHOLL ; the Right Honourable the Earl of ICINNoutt ; the Right Honourable the Earl of MANSFIELD; the Right Hon. Lord GRAY ; the Right lion. Lord RovivEw ; Sir DA VID MONCRIEFFE, Bart: ; Sir JOHN A. STEWART, Bart.; ALEXANDER HEPBURN MURRAY BELSHES, Esq. ; Major MURRAY BELSHES ; JOHN GRANT, Esq. ; Captain DRUMMOND; GEORGE PATERSON, Esq. ; the Right Hon. Lord GRAY, convener; and any three to be a quorum.— Perth Courier. GENERAL OLIVER. NICIIOLLS.—The late General Ntettor.Ls entered the service on the 22d of No vember, 1756, as an Ensign in the Ist Regiment of Foot, and was appointed on the 4th of March, 1760, a Lieute nant. He went in 1768 to Gibraltar, was promoted on the 23d of June, 1773, to a Company, and returned in 1775 to England. He went out to the West Indies in 1780, and served on board the fleet till the capture of St. Enstasius; when he was employed by the late Sir JOHN Vaucitati to inspect and report upon the books of those who styled themselves English merchants; he afterwards was sent home with his report to the SECRETARY of STATE. He obtained on the 14th of March, 1781, a Ma jority in his regiment ; was promoted in February, 1787, to a Lieutenant-Coloneley ; and in June, 1787, was re moved to the 45th Regiment of Infantry. He embarked in March, 1789, to join his regiment in the West Indies, and commanded the troops in the Island of Grenada nearly three years, under Gem Marritaw, then Commander-in- Chief in the West Indies. He received, on the Ist of March, 1794, the rank of Colonel in the army ; returned in the same year to England, and embarked again in De cember for the West Indies, where he was appointed Bri gadier-General, and also Quarter-Master-General. He was sent immediately after to the Island of Grenada, then in a state of insurrection, and succeeded in restoring that colony to order and tranquillity. He was appointed on the 20th of May, 1795, Colonel of the 4th West India Regiment ; obtained on the 3d of May, 1796, the rank of Major-General, and was placed on the Staff of the West Indies. After subduing the rebellion in Grenada, he re turned to England, and was appointed to the Home Staff, in which he continued till he was removed to the Staff of the East Indies, and subsequently to the chief command at Bombay. Ile received on the 25th of September, 1803, the rank of Lieutenant-General, and returned to England. He was next placed on the Staff of the Kent District, was appointed on the 19th of July, 1807, Colo nel of the 54th Foot, was removed on the 3d of August, 1808, to the 66th Regiment, and was raised on the 4th of June, 1818, to the rank of General.

I shall not end my letter With Out citing to you two facts, which may serve to give yut Etti idea of the present Administration, and of its principles. In the debarment of the Upper Loire, where reigns M. Waters, prefect, a municipal ciattneillor, named Fauxot, had caused to be built upon his property lionses round a court, to which he was pleased to give the name of the Curt La Fayette. A decree of the prefect was passed, which ordered him to suppress this seditious inscription. Master in his oWn house, the inunicipd councillor persisted in retaining it ; but there soon came an order for his dismissal. Such is our municipal system-such are the sentiments which ani mate our Ministerial agents! An employe receives in 1821 an doctoral card, on which he was inscribed for 450 francs of direct impost, giving him the tight of voting at the College of the Ar rondissement. He represented that this contribution was fraudulently applied to him, but he wee ordered to go and vote. He obeyed. In 15 days afterwards he received a new electoral card, raising his contribution to 1,450 francs, His conscience, alarmed, excited him to new reflections. He was ordered to vote for the great college, but he swore that he cooLl not lend himself to such an excess. He was pressed to second the views of the Cdvertrient, but, like an honest man, be delivered his card to the tireeide'nt of the College, writing on the margin the reasons for his refusing to vote. lie had escaped the dissatisfaction of ,• his Minister, but he could not escape the recollection of the congregation. He has now therefore received his dis missal. These are characteristic facts. Let us add to them the refusal to allow the sale of tire print of John Hampden, who died more than a century ago. The Pic ture of a great citizen dead is not less seditious here than that of the Duke of Reichstadt, who is alive.---Pails Letter. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE. ♦PPOINTMENTS FOR, THE PRESENT WEEK.

DUEL.—On Thursday last a rencontre took place on Kelso race ground, between Mr. PRINGLE, son to Sir JOHN PRINGLE of Stitchel, and Captain NOEL, both officers in the 92d Regiment, in which we are sorry to learn that the former was severely wounded. Captain NOEL has since been apprehended, and, along with his se cond, lodged in Jedburgh gaol —Edin. Evening Courant. As a proof of the value of land in Guernsey, it may be stated that an elegant market, almost rivalling that of Liverpool, and covered with a glass roof, is build ing on ground that actually sold at the rate of 150,000/. per acre • This is inferior to some ground sold some time ago by Earl SEFTON, at Liverpool, for upwards of 200,0001. an acre. Both are, however, outstripped by the South Bridge, at Edinburgh, which is erected on ground that sold for nearly 400,000/. an acre.—Essex Herald. The Essex Herald gives the following ac count of the state of the prison calendar at Chelms ford, on the eve of the gaol-delivery about to take place there :—At present there are for forgery, 1 ; house-breaking, S ; burglary, 4 ; horse-stealing, 3 ; sheep-stealing, 2 ; stealing poultry, 14; rabbits, 1 ; highway-robbery, 2 ; p issing counterfeit money, 1 : for having wheat in their possession, supposed to have been stolen, 2 ; corn-stealing, 2 ; and 9 for offences of other denominations. The person charged with ibrgery is the son of a respectable farmer. Thei con duct of the prisoner somewhat borders on insanity. He is charged with having, on Wednesday last, at Braintree, forged and countetfeited an order for the payment of money, and offered the same for payment, with intent to defraud Jame' GOODEVE SPARROW, Esq. and others. The name counterfeited was JOSEPH MAR RIAGE ; the sum 23/. What appears extraordinary in the conduct of this young man is, but a few days previ ously lie was defeated in a similar attempt upon the bank of Messrs. Mir.as and Co., at Witham, where he offered a cheque, drawn in the same name, for 45/. A commu• nication had taken place between the bankers, and the last forgery was instantly discovered. The circumstances at tending the highway robbery at Saffron Walden, with which JOHN BARKER, stands charged, are these :—The prisoner W a., yesterday se'nuight, employed by the parish of Saffron Walden in breaking stones for the road ; about eleven o'clock at noon, he absented himself from his work, and between twelve and one was observed to pass through Littlebury on the great road in a direction for Chesterford ; and, when only a quarter of a mile distant from the former place, he met a young woman named REBECCA PLUM, of Ickleton, whom he stopped, demanding her money. The poor creature, terrified by his threats, gave him 655. in money, the property of BENJ. PLUM; with this the robber made off, and the young woman, on reaching Littlebury, gave the alarm, and in less than hour the constables traced him to a gravel pit near Walden. He denied having any knowledge of the robbery, nor was there any part of the cash found upon him; but the complainant, REBECCA PLUM, has sworn positively to his person.—There is not one female amongst the 39 prisoners now here for trial ; 31 of them are single men ; 11 of them under 20 years of age, the oldest is 44. Notwithstanding their youth, we lament to add, upwards of 20 of them have been confined within the prison walls, and some of them on three, and others on four occasions. We find that of the 39, only nine have received any instruction. The youngest culprit is a boy only twelve years of age, who is charged with the offence of house-breaking ; this boy has been taught to read his Bible, but his father, who has six children, has several times beta in confinement for crime. EXECUTIONS IN JAMAICA. BUFF BAY,'ST. GEORGE'S, SEPT. I.—The awful sentence of the law was carried into effect at a.quar ter past eleven this forenoon, on the persons of Allick Brown, Dtvid Carmichael, Thompson Brown, and George Norman, slaves in the possession of Mr-. Isabella Graham (of colour), for the murder of her husband, William Graham (of colour), in June, 1827. The criminals approached and nscended the gar lows in the most firm and collected u , anner, after which they requested permission to address their ftllow slaves, that they might advise them not to follow their example. They reiterated a confession of their guilt, which they had made the preceding day, and declared that they had not of themselves any intention of committing murder, but had been induced by Mrs. Graham, Mss E. Ohlson, and Robert Dant, to murder Mr. Graham. Alliek Brown said, that Mrs. Graham first told him to do it, or otherwise the negroes would he sold for debts of Mr. Graham, and they would lose their houses and grgnnds. replied, he could not do it; he did not regard his losses, he would find " fire and water" every where. The ..laves were repeatedly urged ; and tin the night of the murder Robert Ducat, about ten o'clock, Went to their houses and called them up, and said they most kill Mr. Graham. Thus urged, they executed the horrid deed. The criminals asked for the Gutter Head family, and for I-aac Johnson (the Crown witness), and for John Wray, and said they ought to have attended, that they (the cri minals) might prove to them that, though they had brought them to the gallow s, the y forgave them ; they said they died in peace and goodwill with eves licitly; They repeatedly spoke to their wives and childrett etui dtherg, and recommended them to live well, to take Cate of one another, and to avoid advice, and not to da as they had done Allici , BrOwn called a woman by name, and desired her lA7 Canvey his remembrance to the Gutter Head family, and tell them he forgave them. lie uttered a most affecting prayer. The others also prayed, and they all evinced s a fortitude and resignation surpassing what I could have imagined it possible for people to do standing in their terrible situations, with ropes aboOt their necks, ready to be launched into eternity. The MY. Mr. Griffiths attended, and prayed with them in tt manner that sensibly touched the feelings of all present. The struggles of the dyin4 sufferers were very soon ended; in three MilltiteS they all appeared dead. Mr. Griffiths was most assiduous in his endeavour; and particularly since Saturday last, to bring their h ,,,:rts to penitence. They continued hardened up to Tuesna" l as t ;b"c on his taking leave of them that day, oavic Car michael requested he would come to them in the morning, and they would tell him something. H e visited them accordingly, accompanied by his Honour the Custos, when they confessed as follows : The murder was p:anncd by all the family at Gutter Head, except Harriet °bison (she is the mother of Robert and Allick Ducat). The critni• nals and other slaves were repeatedly tried by ti:6 family to be induced to murder Graham, hilt they would not. That on one occasion Mrs. Grabstra went to Buff Bay, leaving word to have her husband dispatched ; and that when she returned, and found it not done, she was very angry. On the day of the night of the murder Mrs. Graham had his bedstead taken down and his sheets sent to the river, ordering at the same time a shake down (i. c. a pallet) to be made in the hall (which has a dirt floor) for him that night. She went to Duff Bay in the evening, leaving directions to have him • killed—his place of sleeping was changed to the half, that the murderers might have more room to get round him ; that, about ten o'clock at night, Robe' t Ducat went to the negroes' houses, and called them up, when they proceeded tO the Buckra-house; Elizabeth Ohlson gave them plenty of rum to drink, before they could make up their minde to do the horrid deed. They went into Graham's apartment, and seized him ; he jumped up, and cried out, Yery loudly, " Murder! murder !" They were fright ened, and about to desist, when Robert Ducat looked on and said, " If you don't finish the work now, he will play the devil with you all." They then grasped him, and murdered him, as related by Isaac - Johnson, whose testimony they corroborated, except as to the use of a cord. Allick Brown said he had no cord—he strangled Graham with his hands. Robert Ducat and Elizabeth Ohlson, and two slaves, named John Brown and John Wray, looked on. Allick Ducat walked up and down the piazza adjoining. They declared no reward was promised them, and none given. They said all the slaves of Gutter Head knew of the murder. The other criminals said George Norman ought not to be executed, as he only looked on, and (lid not assist in the murder, though he did in the convey ance of the body to the river. They asked why the Gutter Head family were not taken up to be hanged as well as they, and said it was because they were poor slaves. They said they would have confessed before, but that Robert Ducat spoke to them at night through the grating of the gaol, and told them they must not tell any thing, and he would get them free from trouble. He gave them some cigars. Thus has been brought to light, and partly to justice, one of the most atrocious murders that stains the annals of the island—a wife instigating her slaves to the murder of her husband !—and for the mer cenary consideration of securing her property from . . sale for the payment of his debis. Let us earnestly hope that justice will, ere long, overtake those who are infinitely more guilty than the unfortunate slaves who have suffered. It is really surprising that while so many persons were acquainted with the murder, upwards of three years transpired before its discovery. Much error exists as to the manner in which this discovery was made. The facts are these—One of the Gutter Head slaves, named Jane Williams, a Creole, spoke of it to some of her friends, and said she believed her sickness of late was occasioned by her conceal ment of the murder. This reached the ears of Mr. Sterne, of Buff-bay; and he, on or about the 15th of July made an affidavit of the circumstances before his Honour the Custos, who thereupon issued his warrant to apprehend her and her husband, William Robertson. On examination they mentioned the names of the murderers; they were apprehended on the 17th, when Isaac Johnson confessed it unhesi tatingly. George Norman and Thompson Browns also confessed it. Allick Brown and David Carmi chael persisted in denying it till the day before their execution. With this knowledge of the confession by three of the murderers, it was matter of great astonishment to every one that Mrs. Graham employed Coun sellor Dallas on behalf of the criminals, and made the insidious attempt of proving, by perjured wit nesses, au alibi in favour of Thompson Brown and David Carmichael. She went to Kingston after the condemnation of the criminals, but 1 have not learnt whether she made any application to his Excellency the Gover nor for their pardon. It i 3 thought she did.

A Correspondent informs us that 250 attor nies were admitted last Term.
