Txta THRATRES Theatres last night •tatted V , its► rival Dramas, derived front the same source, viz. the popular Romance, entitled Ivan hoe. The play of Drury• Lane Theatre, is named Htbrew, end !but at Covent-Garden by the name of the original Novel. Both of these brarnas are brought forward in a very mag nificent style, and the general acting in boil► , Theatres was well ceJculated to give effect to the respective representations. Mr. Keats and Mrs. Wasr chiefly distinguished themselves at brtiry-Lane Theatre, the first in the part of an aged Hebrew, and the other in that of his banghter.—Tise:Drama of Covent-Garden was ehiefly indebted to the acting of 111 r. CEIRLES tE75151,8, it! Ivanhoe, and Mn, M'ettEADY, in 'Sir Reginald Front de-Bcenf, EMERY, LISTON. and DvauseT. There was great splendour in the scenery, &c., and the conflagration on the •close was particularly magnificent. This piece is +stor e operatical than that at the other Theatre. The music was composed, selected, and adapted by Dr. KITCHENIIR. a gentleman well known '•s an intelli:4ent- and skilful Amateur of taste . in culinary matters as - well as in music. Mr. Nagy added some accompaniment• for the Band,. Bo t h Hous e s were well attended, best particu.

Entrotb—Every . body is talking of the mnrdea of the Duke de Etiaal,.nod of its probable consequences, but every body is not acquainted with the nature of the French-People, and the extent of mischief of which a proper consideration of the subject would warrant the prognostication. A few re marks on the state of Parties in France, on their Leaders, on the conduct of M. DECAZES, and on the strange infatuation of the Monarch, may not he unacceptable at this moment. The English, who are deeply interested in the issue of the passing events in that Country may very reasonably form their own conclusions of the course that they will take, and of the conduct which it would become the British Gnvernment to observe in a crisis, which, however it may he delayed by intrigue, and the purchase of the Representatires, must ulti mately burst over that distracted ( - utintry. There &rein France three acknowledged Parties---the I?)lea Royalists, the Ministerial, and the Liberal; the preponderance.pf . p o wer has natur a lly enoug h b een with the Ministerialieta, for two , reasons—first, b ecause t h ey h are generelly been thouglii: more favourable to the Liberals than to the Qtra : Rovaiisti'i and, secondly, because acornearatirely small sum of money , properly distributed, will always secure a majority in the (heather of Deputies. It is a well known fact, that. Lodi,' the XVlth was compelled, fora long time previous to the tat destruction of his power t lie Jacobins, to purchase tire' votes of a considerable number of Menibersorhenhf wished' to carry a point of interest, both as to the safety of the Croelii and the welfare of the People ; and what with the loose dove trines of t he flerolatien on the one hand, and the.pererty nY the present Deputies, many of whom have not 2001-per ann. the Minister of Louis the XVI ilth have mulch more facility in their bargains with the Members than those of Louis XVI. had, although their influence, generally speaking, was only exercised fur the honour of the Monarch, whereas that of M, Decazes, and his Colleagues, has invariably tended, whatever May have been the intention, to the sacrifice of the ft iendly understanding which ought to exist between a Sovereign and leis People. The word liberal, a+ applied to that part of the Opposition in the Chamber, is a very cetuarehensive term, and m,.RF3F, nOthinZ less than Patina!, irtists pat xcellenee, 7 , 11011! , alvoca'es for Narrnteon the First, although they bi'ie their opiniens underthe term Liberal ; Pironapartists par Finely, (Jr advccates for young Napoleon, on the ground of his inheritance, as the son of a Monarch chosen by the pro ple;—fleprildican, and some few al, tubers whin desire Constitutional Government, foumii on liberal ideas.L-L. The Republican& are of two classes—those who really think a Itepubl'can form of government would restore then fallen greatness ; and those who, although they do not think it could last many years, desire it , be cause they wish the trial made. and consider ;that before it could be .1v destroyed,ADO the Bonrhons again recalled, tlic younger Bnonaparte would be old_ enough to assume the reins of Governnient.. :Nit the Liberals carefully conceal their opinions in the Chatnhi;r,and most of them are very lavish of their abase of Buranaparte; some as a feiitt to deceive the Monarch, end ethers corrace2nntrf their Republi eau principle.—in the Chamber, „ the Buonapartists and Re publicans amongst the Liberals are as 4 to 9—amongst the People generally, it' the estimate be taken en masse, the opi nions ma:- 1 -)e thus stated :—lltionapar ,o tit'e, par exeellenCe; and Buonapartists, par principe, and Republicans of both classes, two-thirds ; eonoittitional Royalists, one sixth . ; ritra-Royalists, one thirtieth. My residence in diffeient parts of • Fritnee, and the access I enjoyed to all the Political Parties, have enabled in. to give this estimate with a consi derable degree of confidence. have classed the Miami partiets end Republicans together, because there a pretty . strong approximation. The Buonapartists would support a Republic, of which either of the Buonapartes could be the Leader, and the Republicans would heartily acknowledge Na poleon as their Chief or Consul. A common observer, whose knowledge of France extends only to the information derived , from a trip to Paris, and a lounge in the Palais Royal, would question the truth of this statement ; but there .are some Englishmen het ter , informed on the subject. The French are, generally spen',,ing, very wary in their communication with the En,:!isit, and many stern Republicans and ardent Buono partist, .peati olu•nly in favoor of the Bourbon• ; hot . ‘ they hare meetings and tallying-signs, which can only he known by particul.a ,pportiinities. These meetings are seldom re, gularly appointed, but the assembly is formed from some pre ,Tions indirect understanding ; as each person enters the euftee-room he holds his hat so that the lining of it may be sten, or plays with his seals, turning the stones -upwards. Wben the bat is lined tricolute, or there are three seals of different colours, the person is known to be a Bnonapartist, and a communication takes place between him and the cons luny. This is rather reserved at first, but becomes more fa. maim - as he advances proofs of his •ircrrity. From this Party the King, nicotinic, can expect nothing hit enmity, althuugh _ tb. perfidy or folly of certain Ministers has made him t)e- Hero that their opinions may be changed by a conciliatory or compromising conduct: His experience and known good on. derstandiug should have taught, him the folly of temporising with this Party. This, however, was the only course he could take, abstractedlr dOnsidered; for his personal safetyi which ha appears to hire cotisidervik.rather more .than the general liminess of his character Would hare induced us to expect.' If he had thrown himself . at:once into the arms of the Jaco- bias, and become the Ileld'idu 'Republic, as Some Of the Li berals loudly declared be would, on the ground, it should seem, of his attachment to Liberty during the reign of his Bro ther, be would hare bad to contend with the POrrign - Poten• tates without, and with a' hold and vioferfi,'tiki;liiti C”iiipera tirely small Party at home. His first eiia - I . *is macTe, LL as was expected, with those Who, on account of. the ardent attach-. went which they professed for . his peiion and dignity, were called Ultra-likoyalists. — This :triat_failed as matter o.f•, course, because it was unreasonable to expect any. other result in a Government where the power of tjie Ministry against the weight of public opinion only as one to thirty. The King's 'error was a very pardonable one indeed, in a man who was disposed to believe all faithful who called thenisekes so, and to take - their acciiunt of the. disposition and temper of the people as a well founded Con viction of the truth; but the consequences cif this error were terrible in effect and in prospect. We may. form a pretty correct estimate of the sincerity of the Ultra Royalists .hr the Conductors of the publications in their avowed pay and interest. Every mte in France has read the glowing lan guage of M. de Chateaubriand, in his adulation of the Em peror, and the almost impious offerings of his muse to the younger Buonaparte ; and yet M. de cliciteaubriand je now Editor et The Censervateur, the most violent and ably writ ten Paper of the Ultras.

An EXTRACT from a. SERMON, preached at WVrTMpvTa crIAPEL, 16111, 1820, by the 'ter. 11.CRACKNELL, D D. "Miniver of IVey ._ lionth•uhdpel, &e.. etc. ANECDOTES orthe Good and Great have generally been callectedyitli avidity, as they supply the best IlJultration of Character. On this occasion, therefore, I .shall introduce several authentic Anecdotes of_his late.MA.teslit, with some connecting to;lniervations,' which will. exhibit a poutrait of. his Majesty in justand pleasing colours. Those who.had frequent access to his late Majesty are aware , that he had acquired habit of speaking-strongly, :peaked bfrap.idity arid repetition, and which his hest; friends' and nsoSt ihyuted subjects often regretted, as those who bad hut a transient view of his Ma jesty could forin'tro - jeratestiniate of 'his lutellectual eadow meta' • and superior' penetration, and there ace Wine .have imiwined - becalm the King interfered but liftfe in the ordinary runtitie of public boiitieSs,, that be left the whole conceriii orate empire to his 'Nliiiisters. This is. Tar front hying the fact. In all questions of vital importaoce the . . • . , King thotight awl decided for hirnsilf, and . su far from beiug I, . • second in these decisions, he took the lead. Welts:ere examples • to this effect, botji in the timely stippressiou o f the riots in London, and in his Majesty's resolute ,resistance of the Ro man Catholic Claims. The.Anecdote.whieli lam Ahern t o in , • • • troduce relative to thy-origin-of our warfare with Primer, is an other convincing proof of his late ,Majcsty'saiecision of chat ae. ter. 'On this itupiirtant suCoject his Majei.ty'S• !Ministers were ditided ' Mr. Pat, in the first instance, :was .decidedly tigainst the 'dectaratiuti of hostilities, ar i d „ • finding his Majesty - determined for 'the war, ' Mr. Pitt - terideted* resignation, and rensainA at least several Wilts an ek-Ministri. 'Mr. Pitt, liowever, finding his Ma jesty inflezihle r and bents urged by his iissociat es in adminis trateos, resumed his oilier, with the full apaiohation of his Majesty. This transaction ,(occurred ill this town, and was cinuninnicateri to a friend amnia on the day of its occurrence, by the late Earl of-Chesterfield. • - thinkiinfand reflecting-men have .had, an] still hare, difterent opinions on , the origin and prosecution of the war, *cannot 1;e dinieds; all however roust allow, that during the 'revolutionary Meade there existed a pesiud when all the nalkinton l .lW-Cottlaneilt Europe acre reduced to a state of awfalperAirbat ton, and, but for the int e rp os iti on o f G reat "If itssin, rlie j- FrenCli domination threatened to have been as perpethal as it bait - become extensite. If the ;evolutionary ascendancy had cantinised on the of Europe, what 111114 I)FiVe been the ultimate fate of the British dominions ? Powerful as, our Country has proved herself, both by sea and land, still, could she have resisted fur ever the whole world ? Our King'foresaw the evils which were likely to produce per petual destolations, and it is to his penetration and firmtiess that we liar, in a great tileasore r t he existence of the constitnt ed authorities of. the nations of Europe, and the. security and peace they now enjoy. Froth the consideration of lis Alai( sty's political opinions, I would proceed to exhibit i is views and habits as a 'disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ-- His Majesty was firm in his attachniera to what is usually de signated the Orthodox Creed : the doctrine of the Tsinity, the Deity and Atoneitient of Christ, and the work of the Spirit, appeared to him so essentialto'Cleristianity, that the persons who opposed the* sentiments were not seen by Inns in a.favourable Jo one of his Majesty's. Purt:and ex curiious, the Revereod Joseph ‘Vilkiiis joined the itoyal Party ; this Gent:len:mil was a colleettir of the curious produs,- tions:ufnatistat, sunny of which hr stewed to his Majesty and the Royal Faintly, and with which they all,expressedalienisel, es highly gratified. Upon .Mr. Wilkins' retiring, his Nlajesty inquired the name of the Gentleman who had aftarded ahem so much entertainment'; it was replied that it was Mr Wil -I(insolje.pissepting Minister (of 11 , e” sauna." The Dissent ing Minister Of Weymouth," said the King, " 1 tape he is notntre of Dr. Priestley's' sort ;" and hen* iiiformed ttrat he ales n/0 7 -114ss-King •addet, - ' l "llien it is all very well." His Majesty nut only•obserted the Christian Sabbath -by attend ing regularly the House of God on that day, but be eticiou aged its Sanctification throogls his household. In email mum tan, of this statement, permit use to relate au anecdote of Mr. Gray. Mr. Gray resided in the Palace trims the time of his Majesty's accession to the period of his death, which hap pened in the' year 1801. Mr. Gray was an ingeseious media ttio;' and under' the immediate eye of the King many alter-• ationsavere, from time -to time, effected in dlllerent apart ntents.of the Ito)al residence. A principal in •attendatiee upon lite person of his Majesty said to Mr. (;ray oa a Sunday 1 wish you to a bedstead removed from such a rue m (naming it) to bads a ruoni.' '•My Lord," said GraY," f never do ally thing of that • kind or; a Sunday; 1 would do it for no istie except his Majesty caintinuitled it, sod in saying that, mY Lord, - 4 run nn 11.(rie, for I sat p:rsuadell the Kiog,'sviti not order it to be done." The refusal gave offence, and was followed 11 a report of the transaction to the Kiag. The kite • said to his Lordship (as he afterwards informed Grayf, '''Gray is a man that tears God, and sooner than re qinee him. to snake such alteratiims.mi a Sand iy I would sleep aithout a beastead."* When iu the Church of God his Ma- Te'ty's deem tioelit Wit'cbaratctiiaid by gravity, revere tscr, attid dryeiti ,tip nor was liis Majesty a Mean judge of pulpit comp.- sitions. If SOIIIOII3 were cut hey piiittical Urpaitrgyrical, they nev,er received expressiaos id his Majesty's appionation. In the iiiilguient of the Kiiig that sermoo was the best which United the docfrotes and duties of Christianity, which exhi bited•t hem in their mutual relation, and enforced their ilueucc strenuously on the nead, the heart. and the life. But oil this heiid I will introduce. his Majesty's own eh:el.- 'the'sermiins and lives of the Clergy. " I," said the King to the late hector of Weymouth, `• I do nut like niers moral preaching. it is my wish to hare the Gospel in the sermons and !mint:sin the lives of the Cicrgy, as this would - tie fliemost . ellijoittal.ThetbUd of holding forth the word of life in the ehutelt and the world.t" As preachers, the late Bishops of London, Lowth and Portetis,,were held in the highett'estiniati,ni by his i - reC;iifeet"hearing the King .name Sir IsattcNewtotcPeitheislOrroitumbridge, when be immediately added, and .14owth:the.glory of 05ttoicl., The King was no bigot ; lie loved good men, .whether thcy he •longe d to tne'Episca;pal 'Church Vstablislitd in th:.Souti, or the Preshyte.riti Church , establislied in-the North.
