HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. FAA lITOW appeared last night in the charac.
ter of Vapid in " The Dramaii.e It was the first
time he undertook the part at this Theatre,
and his effort was crowned with success. Ile
entered completely into its spirit, and expressed
it with ease an.i vivacity. To please an audi-
ence in a case where their minds were impressed
with a perfeti recolleribon of the talents of Mr.
Lewis required no inconsiderable share of ability.
Mrs. Ginas was a charming Marlowe. Ample
j•tstice was also done to ail the other characters.
Exchanted Mood does not lose its interest by
repetition. It was again received with unbounded
applause.

WEYMOUTH, 3u Lr 27.

The King's German Legion regiment of Light
Horse left this place on Tuesday morning for South •
ampton. During their long stay here their conduit
has been exemplary, and relleAs great credit on the
Officers and men; consequently their departure is
to be regretted by the inhabitants at large. Two
regimen s of cavalry and four of-infantry are said to
be under orders for this place i tamediitely this
strongly ildicates that His Majesty will honour Wey-
mouth with a visit immediately after the proroga-
tion of Pat liament. Every preparation is made for
the reception of the Royal Party. And we arc happy
to observe that the public repairs of the long no-
;• splanade go on rapidly. In short, things
begin to assume an appearance that the torn is
again a corporate one. Our market is well sup-
plied with every necessary article of provision, par.
tieularly with all sorts of fish; and the town may
fairly be said to be pretty full of company.

MARGATE, 'Via 25.

The roads from Gravesend to Cosheath and Bar-
ham Downs have been crowded all the brt weak
with soldiers and baggage waggons. Indeed this
has prevailed to such an excess that I thought, in
my journey hither, that I was travelling through a
camp. This place fills rapidly. In many of the
Vlotels there if not a single vacant bed. The Th•a-
ire opened on Friday ; and on Saturday evening Mr.
Russet. 1., of Drury-lane, played Oefaciass, in which
part hewas loudly applauded. In a few nights he
will go to Richmond fora short time. Four men of
war and some frigates are lying off this place. You
may be sure that with such neighbours, we are not
much afraid of the French.

LELDS, Isar 28.

A suspicious person is now larking about this
country, and was seen at. Liverpool on Thursday
and Friday sennight, who is strongly suspe3ed
to be the noted hi.Cabe, the friend and confident
et the late Lord Edward Fitzgerald, in all his re-
bellious a2s. He assumed the name of Robert
Wo.riore, is about five feet four inches high, be-
tween thirty and thirty-five years of age, and,
like the man above alluded to, contrives to change
his dress frequently, the better to disguise hims
He left an old trunk at Liverpool, containing the
clothes in which he was at first seen, and has
decamped dressed in a very long old fashioned sin-
gle-breasted coat, having a collar very much peaked,
and lined underneath with white, black cloth wai
coat, dark mixed coloured knit pantaloons, dark
stockings, and strong new leather shoes unbound
and tied, a new che.:k shirt, with a yellow cotton
handkerchief about his neck, a short cropped brows.
wig divided before, a coarse hat, nearly new, and
a stick with a small handle in his hand, so as to
give him altogether the appears ice (..1 a travelling
pedlar. From what we can Jeans, there is every
season to su%:),:a that the ab.)ve described fellow is
a spy in the service of our iiivtterate foe; it there-
fore becomes a duty ii.eu nbent upon every honest
Briton to aid in his detection. We sincerely hope
that a man of so desperate a charader as MiCabe is
known to be, and so inimical to the public peace,
will tun long dude the vigilance of justice.
