second squadron had escaped from Brest, and that
an enemy's beer, of 14 tall of the IMe. had been
seen at sea. There is no foundation for this re-
port ; it originated from the statement of the Cap-
tain of a Swedish veiled; who was under convoy of
the Aratur, when the fell tU with a squadron of
seven sail of the line and four frigates, which we
mentirmed some time ago.

• • DRURY-LANE.
,The new Operatic Drama of The Travellers ; or,
Xfarie's Fasrinotien, was last night rere Ited at this
heatre. It has undergone many judicious altera-
tions and curtailments ; the representation was last
night finished at about half-past ten o'clock. Se-
veral scenes, charatters, and airs, were omitted,
without divesting the piece of those very striking
beauties which we yesterday mentioi:ed ; • and.
if the pruning knife is again used, so that the
representation may finish earlier, we think it
would be an improvement. The ere& of the
music and scenery on the audience, was, if pee-
bible, greater than nn the • former night. The
taste and execution of Mr. Blt AM ;PC drew down
thunders of applause. He was loudly en, orml in his
song in the first atl " Deep as the Aymara .f this
lsentiar heart," and in the delightful song " He Wes
famed tar deeds of grim," in the beginning of the 4th
4EI. The different airs allotted to Mrs. MOUFTAIN,
were also executed in a superior stile. Nothing could
be finer than her song of Hear ore, soldier,lstar, me. tut
as it was so closely interwoven with the Piece, it
could not be viewed. Her duet with De.firt V, in

the third AR, also drew forth repeated shouts of
demo*, and wee loudly en The trio, at the
end of the third AR, between the Beggar and two
pedlar boys. was rapturously received, and univer.
sally encored.
