The Haymarket Theatre has been a dramatic seminary both for Authors and Players ; and lucki ly for genius, its hypodidascalus is a gentleman and a scholar, tinder whom real talent will ne cessarily acquire taste and judgment.

FOUCHE.—MHeII is talked abotirFonc E's long. threatened Ptiblication at his political lite; and it is said a work is already written, by auticipu tion„ containing those passages of it which his modesty may probably induce him to omit. A pretty mitotic calculation is made of the sums he accumulated by robbing; the churches, and pht dering the Merchants of Ly ,, ns, in tbc time of Rontorrreatte ; and of the still greater extortions. he 'practised as Minister of Police under BUONA• SARTE. The individual murders, public and pri. *ate, amounting to some thousands, , which he committed in the course of his bloody career, are also set down ; and it is sarcastically inferred, that, with Such qualifications, he is the best pos.' sible Police Minister for regenerated France.

The Suer* e of Isabel must establish the faVour able hnpression already entertained. The story is and'affeeting, like the fine episode of a heroic poem. It boasts. of numerous beauties in composition, and is managed with skill to keep alive to the last the interest excited by the more ravelled implication of incident iii the early parts. TheiollOwing is " THE ARGUMENT. "In the of 1 8 14, two Strangers, a LadY and a Gentle man, were disembarked with a few domestic's on a small and thinly inhabited Island in the Mediterranean, not many leagues distant from the Tile of Elba. They excited same eu rinsity, which was subseinently mach increased by a singu lar occut tench that happened to them, during the Autumn of the same year, in consequence of a visit paid to the Island by Napoleon Bunnaparte: A very short time ago, the gentle man having been with considerable difficulty traced to his re tirement by the afiektittuate exertions of a Brother, who had recently returned front Amerlea, Was persuaded to reveal the cause which had originally led him to seek, and that which still induced .him to r etain, his romantic seclusion. Though be evidently laboured to command his emotion, 'and Was std• ficiently methodical in the greater part of his narrative, yet hie deportment, at some particular moments of . the recital, almost indicated insanity. His story, as thus rented by him self, is the tinhject of the following Poem," he story unfolded is that of a dattOter of tbe Spanisk Monarch, who out of sympathy releases from prison Ramiro, one of the insurgents con-- denoted for rebellion against the restored Sove reign. Ramiro bad aspired to her love, but, it appears, withunt retorti.--LWe may here state k that we differ entirely from the Author's view of the poEtics of Spain.]---The Princess is herself committed to a castle on the sett.shore, and doomed to expiate her offence; in liberating Ra miro, by death. She is under the charge of the Stranger; and the following is a beautiful tles.crip 7 tion of the relative situation of time lovely Pri soner and her adoring " Oft, on the ramnpire of that sea-beat tower, 'While slow she paced the loue and dismal hour; ,•, I gitz'd her till my throbbing brain Seeped splitting with its agony of pain.

Rtimiro, however, disiovers their retreat, and In an encenniter wounds the husband of Isabel with a poisoned dagger.
