KING'S THEATRE.

Last night, a Centime, from the most favourite
Piece of II Prinep di Tereuts, pre-eded the Div' r-
tisement of L'Agrereble Brame,: after which a new
Comic Opera was performed for the first time,
called Roberto L'AssenTino; the music by To ENT° .
The principal charaliers were sustained by Signors
NAL or and SIBONI, and Madame l'en INI.
This little piece possesses more ii,teresr than com-
monly falls to the share of an Italian Opera. A
young Lady elopes from her father's house, and fol-
lows her lover, attended by a cowardly servant.--
The woods are infested by robbers, whose leader
is Roberto, the efignstin, by whom the travel-
lers are seized, and conveyed to the robbers'
cave. Roberto lecom-s enamoured of the fair
prisoner ; whose lover, at the head of his troopi.
surrounds the wood, takes the robbers pri-
soners, delivers his mistress, and restores her
to her fdther. Roberto, the AJ.sassin, gives an inte-
resting account of his life, and proves to be the
brother of the lady. A general reconciliation takes
place, and the lovers are married. Signor NA LDI
in Roberto, and &most in Ataijii, the lover, dis-
played much excellence. They were rapturously
en,ored in the charmiag duet ineare in faecie a
rimer." Madame Psalm, gave great interest to the
part of Loretta, and was much applauded. The
whole perform ince went off with great 'spirit, and
received unb.dunded csplause from an elegant; but
not crowded, audience.
