TREATRES.

SUCIEV.

The performances at this Theatre continue to attract
respectable and crowded audiences, at which, indeed, we
are not surprised, as the Managers get up their entertain-
ments in a very superior manner, and they, generally
speaking, arc of a very interesting and pathetic nature.
The ILruba, or Me Indium Pirate, now performing here,
belongs to this class, although the story is somewhat too
intricate for detail ; vet we may say that the acting of
Mrs. Young and Mr. /1. Kemble in some of the scenes ex-
cites an almost painful interest. We ought not to omit
ncticiug the marine scenery of this drama, which is singu-
larly true and beautiful, on which evidently a ereat deal of
attention has been bestowed. The 11.;euba was followed
last night by her Freisehutz, of which as we have before
spoken so largely in commendation, we shall only now add,
that its attractions contmue unabated.
We were glad to see that the state of the house last night
was such as abundantly to satisfy the hopes of the proprie-
tors of this theatre. We wish that this encouragement may
continue, as we feel assured that the exertions of the pro-
prietors deserve it.
ADELPH I.
During the recess this Theatre has undergone consi-
derable alterations and improvements. A dress circle has
been formed, and the whole has been entirely re-decorated
in rather a novel and tasteful manner; the gilt ornaments
to the front of the boxes are laid on a ground composed of
race-colour and white stripes, giving it a pleasing appear-
ance of lightness and elegance. The private boxes are
lined with rich crimson flock paper, with silk draperies to
correspond. The proscenium gives the appearance of a
variegated fan, most richly embossed with burnished gold,
and the scenery is equally superb. The orchestra has been
enlarged, sufficiently to contain a band of upwards of forty
performers, it being the intention of the proprietors to open
with a new musical piece, from which they have great ex-
pectations, and on which no expellee has been spared;
the chorusses in it being on the same scale as those of the
Italian Opera: and we are happy to say the other parts
of the Company have been equally attended to, as, in ad-
dition to the numerous favourites of last season, many new
and approved performers have been added ; in fact, nothing
which could contribute either to the amusement or comfort
, of the audience has b:en neglected.

On Sunday Morning, between twelve and one o'clock,
his Royal Highness the Duke of York arrived at his
residence, Stable Yard, St. James's, from Newmarket.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and the
Princess Feodor, honoured Covent-garden Theatre with
their presence last evening.
Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, the Duke of Mciningen
arrived in town from Bushy. In the evening his Serene
Highness also honoured Covent-garden Theatre, with his
presence.

Commodore Grunt anchored the Liffey immediately opposite

from twelve to sixteen guns, manned and ready to op n its tire.
Drill fnnu motives of humanity, the Commodore and myself were
unwilling to commorice so unequal a content, thinking the im-

have induced the Authorities in the town to make an offer of ne-
gotiating; their presumption and folly, however, led them to pur-
sue a different extract a feeble, ill-supported, and worse directed

hroadsidefrom the Liffey, and the signal being made fur the troops
to land in the order already stated, which they dal in the most re-
gular and soldier-like style, and, in less than twenty minutes, I

enfold, killed or wounded. on our tide nor do I believe that of
the enemy, front their rapid flight, could have been great; of the
latter, killed, ooly eight or ten were left behind.
The news of one arrival in the River having reached Rangoon
the preceding night, and our rapid proems, up in the morning be.
ieg marked by in occasional shot in answer to the fire from the
(inkies, together with the preparations of the Burmese Authori-
ties for defence, threw the inhabitants into such a state of conger-
nation as to causes general flight in every dirertion towards the
Jungles, 110 nitteh an, that out of a large popolutions I do not
think on: hundred men were found in the town on our taking pow
session of it.
The Members of Government fled at the first shot, carrying with
them seven out of eleven Europeans whom they had ordered to be
i,prisoned and rut in irons. On our arrival, in, their hurry, three
were left in the King's Go-clown, whose irons were tiled of *by the
troops on entering the town.
Whcn we were actuality in possession of the rum, Mr. Hough,
an American Missionary, released from irons for the purpose. ac-
companied by a Ititernese, tame on board the Liffey, delegated by
the Itapronn and other Members of Government (then souse miles
off in die Jungle) to entreat that the tiring might cease, and to ask
what teems would be given to thrum, hinting that they had seven
Englishmen out with them in irons, whose fate would probably de.
Pend upon the enswer they received. The Commodore and myself
told them, that it was too late ti ask for terms, as the place wristlets
in our possession : erotertion to persons and property was all they
ha • to expect, and even that promote would nut be confirmed to
them until the pritoners were released and given up to us, warning
them that, if they dared to injure them, or put one of them to death,
Ere and sword should revenge the atrocious deed over the whole
foe of their country. Tlr messengers left us promising to return
as soon as possible ; hut neither the Itaywoon or his adherents
could again be found, fear having driven them still farther into the
country.
We remained in great anxiety for the fate of our countrymen

to have fallen by a musket shot during the engagement. l'aptain
Pringle is said to have been attacked and killed by two of the ene-
my's cavalry, when endeavouring to make his c.Papeon horseback.
Ensign Bennett is believed to have been killed while attempting to
swim across the Ramon River. Of llr. 3laysinor's fall, no par.
Ocular intOrniat ion had transpired, but there was not the slightest
reason to hope that he had escaped.
lin the 22d instant, a Sepoy of the 231 regiment, who had been
taken prisoner at Ranson, arrived in company with a Bengalee
lemindar, bringing a letter from the Burmese commanders, a
tranelation of wiach will be found below.

Translation of a letter from the Rajah of .Irraean, and other Bur.

mese 41uthtirities.

Our master the Lord of the ii'hite--.";.lephant, the Great Chief,
the Protector of the Poor and l)ppressed, wishes that the people
of both countries should remain in peace and quiet.
The liengalees of Chittagong esetted a dispute strait the Deep
of Site tree. which belongs to Arracan. To prevent all dissension,
by orders of Eztonaba Sunailwaddce, the timers', a letter was
sent by Hussain I 'llee, lloobashee ts the Judge of Chittagong. who
wisely relinquished the Deep of Shapooree as belonging to Arracan.
After this, some mischievous person misled the English gentlemen
and caused a dispute and encounter between the English soldiers
and our p:nple, whereon the General advanced from Pegu with a
large force into Arracan, and with s view to the tranquillity of the
two great countries came to Ruttna Pulling, and sent a message,
calculated to beneit both parties, through Ilusaain lake, Doo-
hasher to the Bengalce Carain and Commandant of the Stockade.
While this conterence was going on, a number of Ilergalee and
Mug Sepoys arrived from Itainoo, and be. to lire with musket
and cannon at the Burmese, among whom Ilussuin Ella was
wo ndeti.

On this the Burmese also commenced the combat, 2nit putting
the &rigalee and Illug troops to flight, showed forbearance. and
refrained front killing them. The Suntans forbade them killing
any one. Still no letter ewe front the Judge of Chittagong, an,,
therefore ire remained at Hamm.

Our soldiers injured none of the poor inhabitants, and con.mitted
no oppression, and destroyed no habitations, yet the English gee.
tlemen with the llengalee Seapoys, began tiring upon us with mus-
kets and cannon. At last tile Burmese Sindani advanced with a
I)uohasbee to pay what would have contributed to pacify both
States. On this the Bengalee Sepoys began a fire, which the Bur.
mess were obliged to return ; a battle ensued, many were wounded,
anti many put to tight. The people of Ramoo set fire to their own
village and burned it. The Judge and Colonel of Chittagong. the
Generals and Chieftains of Calcutta, are all men of wisdom and in.
tehligenee; from their keeping and protecting the traitor Ilynja all
of these Calamities arise. We send this lener by a Berigalec whom
wa took at RlllllOO.
