The war be tween France and Spain will, it is said, be im mediately followed by an European war: Aus tria, Russia, and Prussia, have already broken off their relations with Spain ; the French Ma: nifesto will be the signal for a general explosion. The Courts of Austria,'Russia, and Prussia, have held at Madrid a language which revolutionary insanity may misconceive, which narrow policy may disapprove, but which a more profound po. licy can only respect.

KING'S TILEATRE.—After the performance of La Gaza Lactra, on Saturday, a new Bullet was brought forward, entitled La Voce dullage. The piece compiised some pleasing rustic group ings, and the dances were well supported, but there was nothing novel in 'the story. The au dience, a very numerous one, received it with great applause. Davity-LANR.—Love in a Village was repre sented at this Theatre on Saturday. .The chief novelty was MiSs STEPHENS in Rosetta. She was much applauded, and gave the airs with her usual ability.

Her recep tien was very warm, and highly, gratifying to the audience in general as well as to herself.—The Opera was followed by a new Farce, entitled Deaf as a Post: The following is a brief outline of the plot :—: • - Walpole,itn old citizen (GATTit), is desirous of marrying his daughter Sophia (Alias CtinlTT) to a country simpleton, Tristram Sappy (insToro, abounding in wealth, but ignorant in the extretne. In pursuance of this plan, the old gentleman takes his daughter to Winclustrer, where .S'appy resides. Here she is followed by Forreitet; her lover tCiAgn,:), but it being the race-ti me t h ere i s no room at the inn. Forrester, however, by pretending to be deaf as a post, not only obtains room as a guest by day, but finds his way Into the private apartment en ifitgrtlgy Supp, for the reception of his destined bride, her rather, and her friend, the sister or Forrester; assumes the principal place at the suppdr table, and afterwards takes pos. session of his rival's bed, and ultimately' insists on Sappy's fighting or relinquishing the lady. He prefers the latter course, and the consent of .S'oplaa's father being obtained, the Riece ends happily for the lovers. 'This piece, in its general substance, too strongly resembles the formerly popular Farce of The Deaf Lover to have much influence on the ;core of novelty ; but as it had the powerful support of good•acting, particularly on the part of LISTON, GATTIE, COOPER, Miss CunITT, and Mrs. OROEII, -a more favourable reception might have been expected. But though it was an tionlicetl, for repetition by LtsTON, there was considerable opposition, and its fate is at least doubtful., . , A , 1 W.,' 7, 4 i '' , 4 ' ... „,. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.
