ed my expeßation of our Regiment being sent to
Gihraltar, to join the Expedition ; the arrival, how-
ever, of Sir J A Mel; CIL ASo here, on the Idth of last

same time disembarking the regiments wtlich he
brought from England (Artillery and Dragonns
excepted); after which, he had fixed upon the fol-
lowing regiments to compo<e the Expedition

DIRCRV-T ANL.
Lae night Mr. Eta icrom again cane fwward in
the part of Sir glar,y WI in tLeConwdy of The
Coripir: it was his third appearance in that
charader, and he received much aid deserved ap-
plau.e. Mrs Jonosu piayed Reza/aim, iii the en-
tertainment of The Sodlot,. There is a `.rankr.ess, in-
genuousness, and vivacity, in the part, as drawn by
the author, so congenial to that L idy's natural dis-
position, as to make Roxrdana one of her happiest
efforts. Her dress was superb. She was in high
spirits, and received unbounded applause from an
elegant audience. All the private boxes were filled
with company.

CnVFNT-GAIMEN.

Last night, Mrs. Sinn°Ns appeared in her fa-
vourite charaEler of Cohen, in the tragedy of The
Fair Pesitees ; a play so dull and heavy, that
bothing but such a combination of talent Al was
last night presented, could reconcile an audi-
ence to so sombre a representation. The stern
Scialto was ably supported by Mr. Coots, and
the moralising Meath) has loin owed his in-
terest to Mr. Kam DLit. 'I he proud Caintd WAS
given with uncommon energy by Mrs. SIDIAOUS.
la the scene with Hereto, where she tears the letter,

her looks spoke ten thousand words, and her aetion
displayed uncommon beauties. Laheria was not
one of Mr. C. Kew st.e's happiest attempts.
However, the Play was very well received, by
a crowded audience. In the Aldo-Drama, much
disapprobation was shewn to the very ridicu-
lous part allotted to that excellent Comedian,
Mr. LIITON. In the Conspirators' scene, Mr. 14
JOHMTON had parted with too much 4a/lest, and
amused the audience with a SW/W:4.
