TEE THEATRE. Covent-Garden. A new Comedy, entitled ,The Romantic Lover; ssr, Lost aszcli Found, was represented, or' rather an attempt was made to represent it, on Saturday last, at this Theatre. Very soon after the curtain was drawn up, a pareq was observed in the Pit, who ob. yiouslY cane for the purpose of frustrating.the hopes of the -Author, and precluding the decision .of the Public. This party, it is evident, had confederates 'stationed in different quarters of the Theatre, to pro - mote and assist the plan of opposition ; and their ' • malignant efforts were too successful,. for it was hardly possible to hear any thing - of the two last acts, in consequence of the violence of these 'dis persed conspirators, and of the tumult which arose from the endeavours of the Audience in general to put a stop to,their illiberal animosity; and procure a candid hearing for the Piece. The number of these rancorous' opponents of the Author was very small; lsist it is very evident that a few can always diSturb the enjoyment of the many, provided the former are persevering and systematic. The Piece itself, as far as we, Could judge of itt-froth what we. heard; had . strong claims to the proteEtion of the Public. It contained a variety of charaeters, and they were ad mirably adapted to the talents of the chief Perform ers who were concerned in it. LEWIS' performed :Peerless, .the Romantic Loverya Gentleman of exqui-- site refinement,-who, though . , capable of receiving the watthest iinpressions from female beauty and merit, wishes 'to encounter difficulties in the progress of his passion, under the notion that an easy conquest could afford but dull enjoyment. This charaEter is attached to-Amtonia, the daughter of True Blue„ an honest English Tar. The part of True Blue was well fitted `to the Abilities •of FAWCETT, and he performed it admirably. Sir MatthewMatch'em, another of the Qliief charaelersi, is new to ' the Stage, though not inconsistent with prebability. Sir Matthew is a miserably hen-peeked htistand, yet' in the absence of his wife he always affe&s. to possess the su preme command at home ; and is chiefly solici tous 'to make his friends believe that he and his ~ beary are the happiest couple in the world , con trary to tne manifest state of things. Hence, when he is obliged fo obey any of her corn- Islands ; he affects to be only indulging his own hu mour. Such a charaEter is within the limits of na ture and probability, and is very well calculated for `siramatic effeEt. This part had a very able represen tative in MutsnEN. The next cOnspicuous charaEter in the .Piece was 2achary Search, a simpleYorhshire-. nan, if such a charaaer can be supposed to exist, .who constantly seeing in the London Newspapers advertisernents importing that valuable articles are -lost or found; thinks he may be able to - pick a . 'good subsistence in the metropolis, by being always _upon the watch to claim or to , seek whatever may be found or lost. There .is something hu moutons in-the conception of this part, and though • it was perhaps. a little overcharged in its execution, .yet it was rendered, highly diverting, and it was -an easy taskto lois off its redundancies. It must be needless to say how advantageously this part "was as signed to Et4ERY. The female .CharaEters had nos thing peculiarly novel, but they were well designed for carrying on the plot. s , • The three first acts were so . _ well received by the audience, with the exception of the few hostile spi • fits we have noticed., that we have no . doubt, the : • Piece would finally have been successful, and have becoine a favourite with . the Public, if it had been fairly suffered to proceed to a conclusion, and a few omissions had been made before it was repeated. - The Prologue was delivered by CLAREMONT, but not with the happiest effect. EMERY spoke a. very pleasant Epilogue in chara6ter, which was so well received, that if, instead of leavingthe stage at the end of it, he had come forward to announce the Play for this evening, we have little doubt that it would have been repeated with success. , But 'when he re turned for that purpose, the malignant band had ral • lied, and he could hardly obtain a hearing, though it was for the purpose of announcing Richard the Third. The Author of this ill-treated Drama, we under : stand, is Mr. ALLINGHAM, to Whims the Public ase . indebted for severalpopular Pieces, which are likely , to keep their station on the Stage. From all that - we have heard of this Gentleman, we find it im . possible "to account for the rancour which, on this • - , occasion, has defeated his reasonable hopes of dra matic success. We'. cannot - but think that the • Comedy has been too hastily ss*hdrawn, as it was evidently a sacrifice to partial. opposition, if . not to • personal enmity. Saturday morning the Duke of Yo E., HiSMAius:- .ry, and the' PRINCESSES,- went to view . Cranbourn Lodge, the new residence of thellonourahle VILLIERS On Saturday the Russian Athhassador had a-,c0n,.. . ference with Lord MULGILIVE 3 at his Office., from,. two o'Clock'till near four. Lord.C.NiTLEREAGH was . on Thursday last . eleeted a Member for Boroughbridge, in the room Of the Hon. JOHN SCOTT, deceased. ' Lieutenant-General LENNoX has ,now the perrna nent command of the Sussex District. It should be mentioned .to the honour of Mr. BIRCH, of Cornhill, who is Colonel of the Ist Len . don Volunteers, and deservedly esteemed fOr his li terary talents and philanthropic chara&er, that be gave a dinner and a guinea on Friday last to each of the 48 Sailors of the - Vißory who attended their late. revered Commander to .the grave : yet this is the Gentleman who was the subje& of regular se natorial sarcasm, because he had not been regularly trained to the Army, though it is probable that he Is as well acquainted with military matters as many, who have been regularly brought up to the military profession. Two men, the yohngest of whom is fifty, lately visited at the house of a Gentleman at Walworth who had two daughters, the one not quite sixteen, the other eighteen ; the relative ages of the parties disarmed the suspicions of the father, and. he, in Fousequence, allowed a free and unguarded inter course between them ; his criminal indiscretion, however, has proved fatal to the happiness of .his children ; for they being entitled to a considerable property on coming of age, the hoary gallants de voted themselves with assiduity and success to gain their affeetion, and a few days since carried them Off: - The father is engaged in an aCtivelbut hitherto nnavalling pursuit. .malAra4.

Bubjeas, to which my con science bears testimony-; will, I trust, justify my claims upon the confidence of my States and People. Some time since I communicd,,thrpugh the_me.- • dium of my Privy Council, every . interesting ai-ti cular.,reittive to the country and. rny*lf, generally and individually;. and,- "p . y . ,the Privy Council, the Provincial Committee have: been infi)rriled of ;the dangerous situation to which my Country and, my Elee_torate arenow exposed, with the most 1-)r4sing necessity for adopting such energetic means as may yet be sufficient to avert,tlle impending danger. Notwithstanding this, in return for the expla nations hitherto communicated by me, I halm. ex- perieuced nothing: but distrust and delay, My Privy Council refused to obey my injun4tiOns,_in respe4 to . _ the measures proposed, and these, of course, re mained without effea . . I here pass over the disre speaful expressions which pervaded . several of the explanations that were interchanged between us—l renewed my exertions—they were .opposed by.pro crastination' and delay ; and even . the sincerity of my views were called in question. Still I never .suf fered myself to be diverted from nay endeavours to secure The good Of my Country. " •My principal objeft was to obtain either an armed or a simple. neutrality ; but this. was refused to me, both by the Emperors : of France and. Austria. Each of them was equally solicitous for my alliance ; and evert a considerable 'German Court, upon which I had a right to place the greatest hopes, refused, to declareitself. Vain were all my efforts; the case terminated as I foresaw it would. My Country . was inundated by 'the French Army even my residence was not soared ; the first was in a manner taken by storm, and the latter was threatened with similar.treattnent I remained un : - moved ; I braved the danger which threatened my person ) my dignity, and all my .connexions by the ,dearest ties of blood---my wife, my children, and every thing that was dear to my heart. I had pledged myself not to desert my subjeas, and persisted in my resolution. . " French '.Emperor came to me is person I soliciteclhin;to grant my -neutrality: His decla ration was this:H‘ : He that is:not:wiihr me, is against me.' The fate of:Wirtemberg was at this moment vested:in my. hands.. Had I resisted, my country would have - been ruined. My dignity, as an Elec tor, was in danger of being exposed to• the fate of many j othu cincely Families, now constrain ed to live"upOu the mercy of . other Courts; and to receive ,the, sums allotted for their subsistence as an, alms : my ,Country Would have been treated as a . conquered province by the Viaorious Army of the French. . " It was proposed, on the part of Wtrtemberg, to' supply a contribution of eight millions, two thousand horses, and as many men as, would have been sufficient, for conducing the French Artillery and other carriages attached to the Army. This was not accepted ; but a demand was made for ten thousand men and one thousand horses,- to be put. under, the ,disposal of the French Army. I an swered, that this was beyond the reach of my abi lities,. and that the military in Wirtemberg- were accustomed tothe grant of furloughs every year, which would, of course, be still expeeced: What you cannot died, your country can,' Was the an swer of the Empe'ror NiroLEoti. I replied, my. States will not consent.' The French Emperor im mediately said, I will support you against your States.' No choice .now remained I subscribed to the Articles of the Treaty, a translation of whiCh, from the French into the German 'language, so far as it relates to this business, I will now read to you His Majesty the Emperor of the French, and his Highness the Eleaor of WirteMberg, have this day concluded. the following - Treaty ; the former by his Minister, M. DIDELOT, his Envoy at thi's Court; and the latter by baII4 . WINZING,ERODE, his Mini ster, of State and 'Foreign Affairs, and President of Privy Council : .• • Article I.

I submit the Treaty to your consideration; and require your consent • 'for the levy of two thousand men. I also require the assistance of a sum in specie ; not less than half -a million will be adequate to the 'present state of af fairs. This demand does not originate With rite ; the Emperor who-has subscribed to this Treaty • would have imposed more, had I consented to. ir, but this I refused. " The French Emperor has left me this after noon,, infull persuasion that the terms of the Treaty . will be complied with. to , the utmost extent:— Should these fail in the, least degree, disagreeable consequences to the Country will be unavoidable.
