SOU f By a ship arrived at Liverpool, advices have been received from the river Plate to the . 6th No vember. No tidings had beeri heard of the squa , drop under Brown. His friends, who have great reliance on his integrity, as well as his prudence, are willing to believe that the Government had lent t'.eir countenance to the account of his hav ing absconded with the ships of war, the better to cover the object of a secret expeditiolv with Which he had been'entrusted ; some add, to Chili, to intercept the tinia ships. The old Spaniards, howeyer, say otherwise. Brown had for some time been at variance with the Government of Buenos Ayres ; and under such ciretioi.,tances it is not deemed probable that he, would have been dispatchel on any important service. From Rio 'Termini, it is. stated, under (late of. the 25th-of Novemher—" Troops continue to ar rive here from Lisbon, and repart'ays, some of them are to go to Rio Grande, with what object ) know not." - There are other advises trom the Brazils, which state, that from a view of the whole proceedings going on at the Court of Pll zits, that a plan is in contemplation, in conjunc tion with Spain, for the recovery of the Sonth America►t possessions to the latter Power. The American. Envoy is a great favourite with 'the Prince Regent. of Portugal. A Brussels Paper has the following paragraph The events of which France is• the theatre, give rise to some reflections which do not appear mis placed. The, revocation of the Edict of Nantes drove from that country a numerous class of mo ral and industrious men, who took refuge in Eng land, Prussia, and Holland. The revolution of Ing expelled from France, numerous emigrants, whom Ei:r•ipebeheld with astonishment, retain• 'lag, amidst misfortunes, that levity and 'neon. sequence which they themelves bad frequent cause to regret.

One .of their cele. brated preachers, M. the Abbe de 'ItozAN, eon chided a sermon delivered on the :ith of Jamivirsi, in. the presence of Knights of St. Louis and Public Youctionaries, by, the. following exclamation . " Vive Jesus !. Vive !—Lang life to Jesus Long life to the King !" The words, says the , French journalist, were repeated with enthusiasm by'2o,ooo auditors. This may be eloquence, `and loyalty, anti piety in France : in England it mink! be reelc)med absurdity equally irreverent to the mouse of religion and of good government. • -The Countess.of Lounotc RIM-MOIRA was C.X.

A local bahriation, s iv • • • 1. - • anti who shall further body forth the enthusiastic conceptions of the Poet's mind, and go beyond hint in giving them a local habitation. Well might the machinist, the scene painter, the decorattir,toid the musician exclaim, "- hic labnr hoc opus est," and abandon their tasks in depair What could he done was we think done last night. The play, which has ` so7niuch deli It oil u, in the efoset; did not fail to please tis on the stage; and in so wild and fanei tul a theme as SH AK EsPeARE has here adOrned with - a ll the reet•lre'of genius, this is no 'mean praise. To approach to' the ideal world of this Magi r cian,_ to realize the images with which his fancy hits so luxoriantly sported, and, a'l u is more, to come up,' in some - measure, to the abstract inaginings: , w it h which every cadet Of taste has dumbed the Creation of the Bard, is' to be greatly successful, and such was the performance at Co vent-Garden Theatre. To stew this, we m a st begin at that topic With whicli theairicil criticisms usually conclude. The 'scenery is admirable : several of the landscapes are sweet and true to nature ; a • sea-piece, ttitlt the ortisal Of the "Indian Boy," ; where aerial figures rise from the ocean and hover in the skies, magnificent lee) owl description ; a n d a star-light scene at once strikingly new unit wonderfully Intainiful. We are not in the' habit of bestowing critkcisni on t his adjunct of the Drama, but in Tlie Mid,uninier Night's Dream it is so, important, that we must object to the abrupt ex of the. Roseate bower over Titanici's coach—. a few straggling flowers would eel eve u sharpness very unpleasing tp the eye in this-lovely combinai, lion of scenery. ' • • In unison with the spectacle department. we have.: • just noticed, is the costnine. It is rich, elegant, and appropriate. The Fairy groupings are exquisitely managed, and produce the. finest-effect. • Perhaps • the resemblance to the machinery in Macbeth is tut) often obvions,,without being- once carried:to.so imposing a 'height. The adjuration of inviiible spirits by a Master is always very interesting ; iii this respect the arrangements . of last night were • by no means so tllcThcontlucted as those in which, the elves appeared upon the Stage. : • , Before remarking on the Play. itself, .we shall, in few words, dismiss the music,-which is uncom- • monly happy, and does great credit to the taste of Me. litsnoe. The labrinrs of 4“sp, BATT', SHALE, SMITH, HANDEL, CoolcE,- and STRV ass,. have been contributed to this harmonious 011 a; but Mr:-Bistior has the merit not only of 'selee tion,.but of some pretty origittaFeompositions.—" , .. To do justice to these, almost the entire •,musicat strength of the company was called forth. Mrs.:: LISTOS4 Misses MATHEWS, BUnKSLI., and MACAL.:,:f. PIN'; Messrs. SINCIAIR 'and DUHUSET executed their various parts with skill and taste ; but the exertions of Miss STIIIIHANS were crowned with the most perfect success. This - enchauting songstress never af f orded'greater delight, and never merited or received . more. - unbounded applause. lice Opening sunk, " the simplicity, of Venus' dove" ; the air from Acts and Galatea, .of " Husk ye pretty warbling choir"; and the final bravura " Warriors, march on," were all ravishingly sung, and we rejoiced to see that in the face of some cruel encoring, the.feeEngs.of the audienie prevented the repetition ot . what was indeed delight fol to bear, but at the cost of too severe an impo sition upon the performer who did so much to gratify them. • This Play itself is tlivided into three acts, and a good deal shortened. In general the curtail ments . (chiefly by ciARRICK, HMI COLIWAN) have been judiciously made, and particularly in the lovers' roarrels.7 Yet some of the finest of the fairy dialogue is omitted, end, what is still more inexensable, the most arousing of Bottom:s ha= morons colloquies, lett Out.- All his convirsutions' with Mustard Seed, &c. ought surely to be restored, especially .to a 801‘0114 so irresistibly comic as LisToN, Of. the Performero we can seareely•speak too highly. CotswAy looked Theseus himself and de livered his speeches with all• the effect of which they are. Susceptible. ABBOTT (lid equally welt with Lysander, and SINtif,AI R and Eorturots were respeetable in Acting Demetriuinrol EgeuS. The Lierinia of Miss STIIPAI ews waS every, way com plete ; and. Miss Powys, as Helena, looked anti" played very agreeably. • • Perhap.', tive. hard-handed Men of Athens were never before so ably reply:seated. LzrraN's Bottom was, 9 we . have said, irresiNtible from its Indicrons gravity and pompons pretensioli.. The ass's head became him .well. Est ES Y Quince, MENIAGE'S Starveling, Toket.Y'S SIMMONS'S Flute, and lit.AlscnAttn'i &OW, were full of humour, and the three latter, when transformed into the Lion, Thi s b e , and Wall, formed tas thoroughly.

DIJIMSET was Oberon, aad Mrs. FkU CIT T 11042,; Min BOOTH a very round limbed Puck, She was arch and playful, and the coup a: t elt, i n all t h e scenes in which these imaginary personages shone, was truly enchanting. • The Play closes, with a new grand Pageant hi THRsitue exploits, to which the only ohjectims is the introduction of .the Amazons in chains —a:, b:ul compliment from the Conqueror to their Quee:i Llippolita;.
