THEATRES.

KING'S THEATAK.
We are haiiiik to hare to notice the revival of
the Comic Opera. which had so long been discon-
tinued, at this Theatre. Tke serious Opera cannot
be always pleasing, except tvassionate Amateurs,
and is by no means suited en our national taste.
Le Due NO:ZS e en Sol Merits, a produaion new
to this county, abounding in excellent music, by
GAMMAS!, was last night represented here for
the purpose of introducing Signor Na LDI to the
attention of the British public. lie comes, we
understand, immediately frum Lisbon. He has
acquired a high reputation on the Continent—
and it is not likely here to suffer any abatement.
His debut was attended with the most brilliant
success; and he will cettainly be popular.—
Signor NAL DI'S voice is a powerful tenor, of unu-
sual clearness and compass ; and it is evident he is
a tasteful and well-studied musician. An easy and
rapid modulation, prec:sion, and delicacy of finish.
such a: in this country has scarcely been equalled,
are the chioaderistics of his style. He was perfedly
at his ease, every note was effeetive ; as an actor he
deserves equal praise:—his performance is neat,
mellow, and, in all respells, in the first style of
operatic humour. His first song, and a comic duet
in the second ad, were rapturouly enreeed.
Our old favourites MOREI.LI, and STORAGE, were
restored to their posts on this occasion, and received
with their accustomed approbation.—Signora GPI to-
Litrri appeared for the second time on these
boards, and in the song allotted to her, displayed so
much taste and sweetness, as to obtain a general
encore. She is really a very promising singer.
The Opera afforded the highest satishidicn to a
crowded audience: but it is much too long, a fAtOt
fur which no beauties can atone.
In the brilliant circle were--
Duelbesies—NorthumLerland, Onrelln, net Bolton.
Matehionesses.—lleadfort, D4Washue, Salisbury, and
Donegal.
Countnses— -

CLERK EN WELL SESI APltti. 15.
Bad before Mr. Ma I.:WANING, and a numerous Eon!)
of Mari•tra s •
Tyrrell was indicted for assaulting Mary
Mills. by forcibly seizing her in the street, and,
with another person uniotown, hurrying her into a
hackney coach, and from thence to a place of con-
fire•ment, where she remained for more than a fort-
night.—Mary Mills, the prosecntris. a very decent,
respeashle looking yeung woman, being sworn,
stated. that she had been separated from her hus-
band, in consequence of ill treatment, for more than
eight years He allowed her half a guinea a week
to support herself; which sum she had been in the
habit e f receiving regularly, every Saturday, from
Mr. Moore, a respectable gentleman, living in
Sutton-street, St. Luke'e. On the 2d of January
last, in the morning, she lett her uncle's house,
in Islington, where site at the time resided, for
the purpose of going to Mr. Moore to receive
her mains,. She bed not proceeded far •
her way, when she met the Defendant. He
was a man well knewn to her husband, and who
had often insulted her ; for both which reasons she
did not like him. He spoke to her, and although
she refuse,: to answer him, and several times de-
sired him to go about his business, he continued
to walk with her. They at length came into a
street in the neighbourhood of Islington, where
they met a man whom she did not knew, and he,
with the assistance of the Defendant, hurried
her into a hackney ceach, which had been pre-
vieusly provided, and brought her so MI . hliles's
private mad-house at Holton, where she was con-
fined for the space of nee, ly three weeks. At first
she was kept in that part of the house, where those
who were well, or nearly recovered, were allowed
to rem tin ; hut, as she had not money enough to
pay for this indulgence, she was at length confined
In the repo dof the house, amongst those who
were comphaely mad. She was so much terrified
during the time she remaired in confinement, that
she tens much astonished her brain was not in reality
turned. Ou being asked by the Court, how sthe
contrived to tree herself from this confinement ? she
stated, that there was a small hole in the door, to
which a number of little Jew boys and girls used to
come and sell snuff, tobacco, and other trifl.ng arti-
cles to the nnforturiate lunatics, who, in lucid in-
tervals, were allowed to go there and purchase them.
To this hall, when no person was near, she used to
go, and she several times entreated the children
to
bring her pea, ink, and paper, and take a letter from
her,. to her uncle, or se me of her friends. They
said; they Were willing to do any thing to oblige
her, bet they could not do that, as then they *euld
not be permitted ta come there and sell snuff. 11
ey
Were. however. prevailed en, by a present of all the
money she had remaining about her, to put a sheet
of papet through this hole. When site was in pes-
session og tees she went to the yard, and, having
eaneht °nerd use towls which were kept there, she
pulled a small feather out of the wing, and made a
--pen of it ierith her scissors.--(She produced the pets
In Court ; is was not more than about three inches
longeand small in proportion.) Having found an
old ink-bottle in her room, to the inside of which
there v-as a hard crust of dried-up ink, she put some
water into it, and made a kind of pale ink. with
which she wrote a letter to Mr: Moore. After di-
recting it, she threw it out of the window, and she '
supposed whoever picked it up had put it into
the Post-Office ; as Mr. Moore received it, and
came, in consequence, a day or twn afterwards, and
took her from the Mad-house home with him.
s The Defendant not chasing to call any witnesses,
Mr. M A:escheat:4e observed to the Jury, that all
they had to consider, was, whether the Defendant
did eelually assank Mrs. Mills, by forcing her
into the coach If they thought he did, as he
• believed, they would find him guilty, and it
then remained selth the Court to consider of the
yuniihment that should be inflieled on him. The
Leaned Chairman then adverted to some of the cis-
termstimees of the case, and said, I•e hoped that at
some future time it would come more fully before a
Court of Justice.
The Jury iestently found him Gueey, and the
Choi. man him until the Court should
consider of the sentence.
Waitala lisihasawtoty was indicted for au etsault

The Proseentor was coachman tn Lord Ashbutn-

whom he met at a puhlie-house, to the Stanhope
Arms, at the corner of ()Emden-sneer, in the Hay-
market, for the purpose df seeing the Gana C:.'elea.
When he had been there for range time, he fell
asleep, and when he awoke. he missed his watch.
He immediately said he had lost it, arti desired that

was Landlord of the house, told him that he had not

WM. Ile refused to g unal he had got his watch,
con-rquace of which thealeefendeet struck bins,
and knockia Lin down, with hfs head under the
grate.
On the pier of the Defendant, Mr. Ryan, son to
the famous brui•er of that name, and some other
genderneh of the s.tme sort, were called. They all
stated, that ter- def. asient had not struck the pro-
secutor. but had enle given him a little shake,
for the purpose cf awakening him, and in put-
ting him out of the house, wham it was late, he
gave trim a tittle shove, and he fell. they all

Sim—Captain Henry, of the French ship Diomede,
which ran on those, and I afterwards ordered to be
burnt, being with his °filet' e, among the prisoners
rescued the afternoon of the 9th, fief re that event
took place, he approached to off-r Captain Keats
his sword, which he, from the report which had
been made to me by Sir Edward Berry. and except
in the all of hailing, confirmed by Captain Dun,
that the ship had struck before she run on shore, it
was disdainfully refused. This of course made ex-
planation necessary on my side ; and I acquainted
Captain Henry that I had marked his didionourable
condo& in my public letter ; when feeling, as he ap-
peared to do, like a man of honour, and referring
to his officers and ship's company, they gave the
strongest testimony that the petitlaw. was always fly-

has been recited passed between them, I have no
doubt that the Diomede has been mistaken for the
Braave, by her err' . being down. I therefore, Sir,

SIR--Having received information from neutral .
that several Spanish reside had very Wily arrived
in the Bay of Ciffipzaclay; trid conceiving it prafti-
cable, from the local knovtlech.re I had df that place,
that they might be cut out without running' much
risk ; I have presumed, in consequence, to extend
the limits of the orders with which von hontaur-
ed me, and proceeded to this anctioraga ; and,
although I Ant well aware of the great responsibility,
yet, as it was undertaken solely with a view of icr-
wattling the King's service, by distressing his ene-
mies, sot have the vanity to hope it wilt be sanc-
tioned with your high approbation.
I have, tberefore, the honour to report, that I
last evening anchored the Franchise in quarter-less-
four-fathoms, abreast the town of Campeachy, and
as it was impossible, from the shallowness of the
water, to, approach nearer to the shore than five
leagues. I dinpatched the senior officer. Lieutenant
John Fleming, accompanied by. Lieutenant P. G.
Douglas, the Third, l.ieutenant Mends, of the NIA-
Tines, and Messrs. Daly, Lamb, Chalmers, and Ha-
milton, Alidshipmen, in three boats, with orders to
scour the Bay, and bring of Such of the enemy's
vessels as they might fall in with. But from the dis-
tance they had to row, joined to the darkness of the
night, and the uncertainty of their position, it was
four o'clock in the morning before they could possi-
bly arrive, long after the rising of the moon, which
unfortunately gave the enemy warning of their ap-
proach, and ample time for preparation, even to the
tricing up of their hoarding neumgs, and projefting
sweeps, to prevent the boats from coming along-
side ; and although the al.rm was thus given from
one end of the Boy to the other, and instantly corn-
minicated to the castle on shore, yet nothing could
damp the ardour and gallantry of the officers and
crew, who had volunteered on this (as it ultimately
proved) hazardous service, for that instant. two of
His Catholic Majesty's brigs. one of twenty guns
and one hundred and eighty men, the other of twelve
guns and ninety men, accompanied by an armed
schooner of eight, and supported by seven gin-
boats of two guns each, slipped their cables. alzl
commenced a most severe and heavy cannsnadtnig
on the three boats, ostrich must soon have annlhitat-
ed them, had rot Lieutenant Fleming, with Krynt
presence of mind and unchecked ardour. Most Ml -
ly dashed on, and instantly laid the nearest brig on'
board. He was so quickly suppdrted by his ftsini.i
Lieutenant Houghs, in the barge, and Mr. Latat.
in the pinnace, that they carrieS her in ten minutes.'
notivanstandi. g the vervisowerfol resistance they'
met with. The whole of this little flotilla pursued
them for some chstaace, keeping up a constant firing
of guns and musketry, which was so smartfr return-
ed both by the brig and boats, that they soon reriTed
no their former position, leaving Lieutenant Fiera-
leg in quiet possesion of hie p.ize, shish prnirci to-
he the Opilisish Monarch's brig Ripos I. pierce i for
sixteen, but only twelve guns mounted...Mt:sive of
cartons, swivels. or.d numerous matt arms, with
complement of ninety mom, nht only sctecty-fine ac-

Wally on bond ; the Captain, Den Icier:pin de la
Cheva, with the senior Lieutenant, the Civil Offi-
cers, and a boat's crew, beine alise•lt on shore. She
appears almost a new vessel, coppefed, sails well,
and,i n my ;rumble judgment,is admirably calculated
fur His Majesty's service. It is with chi most
heartfelt satifaition I have to announce, that this
service was performed without the loss of a little
marl, and only seven slightly wounded. But I la.
ment to say, that that pleasure is in a great measure
damped by the great effusion of blood on the part
of the enemy, they having had an offieer and fon!
men killed, many jumped Overboard and drowned,
and the Commanding Officer and twenty-live
wounded, mane of whom, tam sorry to add, are,
in the Surgenli's opinion, mnrtally. I !,:tve, thee-
fore, from motives of humanity, sent the whole of
them on shore, wrh a flag of truce, where the brave
but unfortunate wounderi can he better taken care
ef, which, I trust, volt will approve. Liiruttnant
Fleming speaks in the highest terms of approbation
of the prompt and gallant support he met with from
Lieutenants Douglas and Mends, Ai well as the nth er
officers and crew under his orders Indeed there was
not a man on hoard but was anxious to he of the
party ; and I awe sorry I could not indulge Lieute-
nant 1'..1 Peschell, the Second, but his presence was
absolutely necessary on board.
To an officer of your discriminatieg jodgment.
I trust I shall stand excused if I take the liberty of
recomtn finding Lieutenant Fleming to your no:ice,
for his rieiritorious condo& on this occasion. Hr
appears to me to be an officer of distinguished me-
rit an I bravery, and I understood he was highly
respelled by his late Captain, the good, tie amiable,
and my gallant predei mut-, the Hen. John Me.rray.
