Ms reed, is said to have at length tendered the resignation of his command, which was not, how. Tarr, accepted. The affray between the French and Spanish soldiers at Madrid has been deem rd so serious, that the military occupation of the capital has been exclu s ively confided to the Ftekli, and QuEsADA's corpi, which fornied the lilAnish part of the gerrison,inis been marched to the frontiers of Portugal.

There Is one cir cumstance, however, which it is strange that it (lid not occur to the Author, and to the Actor himself : Ltirrosr is made to appear idle on the stage, sitting at a table, or saunter ing behind, not only during the sinking of three airs in front, but during the encores which Miss Pilaw( and Mrs. Vmartis are sure to excite. The awkwardness. of such a situation might be expected to strike the actor, if it escaped the at. tention of the author. \V. mentioned this cir cumstance to a Lady, during the performance last night, but far from assenting to the objec tion, she observed, that " it was agreeable to look upon a Performer whose talents afford so much entertainment." " Of this (as Dr. Jonm sog says) let the Ladies judge," speaking of one who objected to a compliment paid to a Lady by Yore, which said that. she " No arts essay'd, but not to be atlinied," declaring that it was " an unnatural and incre dible panegyric." The music of this Opera pleases more on repetition. The Composer (Mr. NATHAN) has been unjustly accused of pla giaristn, because he introduced two old tunes in the Overture, too well known for it to be sup posed that he intended to pass them as original. BIRMINGHAM THEATRICALS. An attack which has recently been made on the Stage and its Professors by the Rev. J. A. JAmes, of Carr's-lane Aleeting-honse, at Bir mingham, has excited great attention Its that town. The attack appeared in two pamphlets written by this person, who, it seems, is a Dis senting Preacher. One of these pamphlets was entitled " The Christian Father's Present to his Children," and the other " Youth Warned." The Reverend Gentleman, besides, followed up the attack by a sermon which he delivered at the Meeting-house above mentioned. These attacks, have, we understand, been deemed wanton and intemperate, and are generally condemned by the inhabitants. In consequence of this general con demnation, end in vindication of the theatrical community, Mr. Bu N N, the Manager of the The etre Royal, Birmingham, and one of the Mana gers of Drury-Lane Theatre, has answered • (ho Reverend Assailant, in a Letter to him, with Notes, critical, religious, and moral. Mr. BuNN's pamphlet has been so much admired in Birmingham, that, though recently published, it has already passed through three editions. The pamphlet is indeed written with great spirit, end constitutes a very satisfactory vindication of the theatrical profession, justly stating the moral advantages • which Society derives from Tut: Masts. But Mr. BUNN has also, in imitation of the Reverend Writer and Orator, followed up his answer by the re presentation of the Comedy of The Hypocrite at the Birmingham theatre, which has been attended by crowded hou'ses,and the repetition of which was unanimously called for by the audience. It is also announced for performance this evening, (August 12), and ex cites so much attention, that to gratify the town still more, the Manager has offered Mr. Licrox nw. a-night to visit IMmingham, and perform thP part Mary-worm. NVO regret that the -Reve rend Gentleman has unnecessarily provoked this contest, but we cannot blunre Mr. Bumx for coming forward in defence of our great National, and, we may fairly say,Moral Entertain ment, which, under proper management, may be considered as supplementary to Rutmitos, to LAST, and a prop to all the decent offices of civi lized society. Mr. BURN, in his Pamphlet, which displays n considerable share of classical know ledge, delicately, and with feelings highly honour able to his character, alludes to his wife, who is justly ranked among the best Actresses of the (lay, and to prove tire moral efficacy of the Drama, he relates the following anecdote, the truth of which admits of no doubt, and which we subjoin in the Author's words:— " One of the most extraordinary instances on record, is an incident that arose out of a representation of this plsy ( George Barnwell) a - young clerk, whose follies had placed him precisely in the situation of George Barriteal—who, by the intrigues of a wanton, had defrauded his master of two hundred pounds, was taken alarmingly ill, and' in an interview with his physician, Dr. Barrowby, confessed the whole of the circumstances, from an impression created on his mind by seeing Mr. Ross and Mrs. Pritchard in the principal characters. The Doctor communicated the case to the youth's father, who paid the money instantly—the son recovered.--and became an eminent merchant and a sound Christian ; and in a letter from Ross to a friend, dated 20th of August, 1787, are these words : " Though I never knew his name, or saw him to my know " ledge, 1 bad for nine or ten years, at my benefit, a note sealed " up with ten guineas, and these words—' A tribute of grail " • tuck from one who was highly obliged, and saved from ruin, " by seeing Mr. Ross's performance of Ocorge Barnwell.'" Madame ATALANI desires us to say that the reports which have been made concerning the Cambridge Musical Festival, given by her, were incorrect, and, in consequence thereof, she finds herself under the necessity of refuting them, by observing, that, far from having experienced the slightest reproach, the Committee, the President of which was Lord HARDNIICILE, have voted her a letter of thanks, for the very liberal manner in which she gave the Festival, as, by the eminent talent she engaged, and her own great exertions, she procured to the poor of Cambridge above 1,1501. And the very generous mode in which the Festival was got up, has left her a remuneration much inferior to what she is in the habit of receiving in similar eases. — Madame CATA to give a GRAND MUSICAL FEsTIYAL in NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, which will begin on the sth of October next, allotting the same portion of the Receipts to the poor as at Cambridge, and the very splendid re-union of eminent talent which she has engaged for the occasion, will exceed any thing of the kind hither to witnessed. Three of the most popular actors in their day, and whose mantles have not fallen upon any of their successors, now reside in London, and ap parently enjoy good health : Jof MUNDEN, J ACK JonNsToto:, and JACK BANNISTER. In the pre sent dearth of theatrical talent, there is very little chance that we shall soon " look upon the like " of any of them, THE KIN°. &c. Wtignson, A uo. H.—Yesterday afternoon, after his 'M 'EsTr and Suite had taken an airing through the various rides in the Great Park, the Royal Party paid a visit to the Castle to inspect the preparations that have been made for the commencement of the extensive improvements. The King took a survey of the opening that is intended for the new grand entrance; and, after a Fliott stay, returned through the Little Park to the Royal Lodge, where his Majesty entertained a Select Party to dinner. This day, shortly after two o'clock, the King left the Royal Lodge for an airing in the Great Park. llis Majesty was accompanied by the Dorset, the Marquis Conyngham, and Sir Edmund Nagle. It having been signified to the various superintendents of the alterations at the Castle, that his Majesty will be graciously pleased to lay the first stone of the new building to be called George the Fourth's Tower, in person, to-morrow, being the anniversary of his birth. day, orders have been issued to the workmen to complete the necessary preparations immediately, in consequence of which they will he employed till a late hour this evening. We un derstand, however, that no procession will take place, the cere monial being strictly private. FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

DREADFUL SUlClDE.—Yesterday afternoon a considerable commotion prevailed near the pliant and Castle, Newington, in consequence of a respectable young man, in the employ of Mr. KAY, a French and English biscuit-baker in the Landon-road, having hung himself. The crowd that assembled opposite the house was very nu. merous, and various reports were in circulation respecting his committing the dreadful act. On enquiry we found his name was William Davis, aged 23, and had been in the employ of Mr. Kay for.two years. The greater part of yeste.r terday he was engaged in assisting the waggoners to unload some flour into the loft, and it was in the interim of waiting the arrival of other wag gons that he suspended himself to a beam in the loft, where he was afterwards discovered quite lifeless.
