Dutch camps.
Some recent movements or the Austrian troops in
Bohemia, appear to have excited strong sensations in
Holland.—That part of tf e Bohemian army of ob-
servation, which was stationed at Pulsars, has ad-
vanced to Brix, and another strong corps, which
was assembled in Moravia, has occupied a position
on the Elbe, near Ausig, witFn six posts of Dres-
den. These are probably the dispositions, which,
some days since, gave rise to the report, that the
Austrian atmy was marching to occupy Silesia.
The opinion, however, in Holland, was, that the
Emperor FRANCIS was approaching the neigh-
bourhood of the war, in such force, as miAht give
influence to his interposition in favour of Prussia,
or enable him to take advantage of c.ny occurrence
tending to restrain the grossing power of France.

Mr. Coverer, alluding, in Lis Weekly Libel, on
Saturday, to the Westminster EleSion, says:—
' There now appears, to me at least, to have been
an understanding between Sir SA oust. Hoop and Mr.
SNr.atnAN, from the beginning ; but that the former
finding so large a portion of the virtuous sad joule-
patient part of the people decidedly hostile to Mr.
Sac a 'DAN, did not thiuk it safe to risk the effeS of a
coalition, until that honotarattelouree e
This foul libel upon all the Gentlemen who have
placed Mr Sn ERIDAN above Mr. PAULL, and who will
vote this day and to-morrow, prove that Mr. Pavat 's
cause is now become desperate. The honourable
source of the virtuous and independent EleSors
of Westminster being now exhausted, according to
Coe Berr,nothing now remains . but a dependent and
worthless mass, ready to come forwardfur Mr. Su e-
a o as. The EleSors of Westminster, who have not
yet voted, are no doubt much obliged to Mr. PAULL
for this compliment from his organ, COESITT.—
The Editors of the newspapers are also much
obliged to both these cuthors, for the impudent
calumny daily repeated against the public press,
which they falsely represent as shut against them.

Notwithstanding Mr, MELLISH'S present supe-
riority on the Poll for the County of Middlesex, his
friends will do well to be on their guard, against an
opinion which too generally prevails, and which
great pains are taken to circulate through the
county. that his Elettiwt is secure ; nothing, indeed,
can tend so much to prevent its being so, as the
prevalence of such an opinion. 1 hose who are
most versed in the art and mystery of eleclioneeriog,
well know, that no Eleffien can be secure, until it is
positively gained. But in such a county as Middle-
sex, a mach larger majority thin that which is now
in favour of Mr. Mxi.r. nos, would be very far from
placing that Gentleman in a state of safety. Every
friend of Mr. MIL Lim, should, therefore, consider
the advantage he has already gained, merely as OS
incitement to further exertion ; recolleSing, that
confidence is a rock on which numberless vessels
have split, even in the sight of port.

this piece is from the pen of Mr. Dissent), jaw,
known to the public as the author of The (loam et
tat Alp., and some other light pieces. 'Hick OW
duetions have introduced Mr. Dismal to publii
notice. The present piece establishes his Larne as a
diamatic author, upon a more durable basic tz
scene is laid at the Castle of liosenheirn, in Saraly,
and the interest arises from the ardent feelings of a
wronged and doer. fed mother. This mother is MmiLli
of Clermont, a beautiful young woman, the 0bj...•1
of the early affeO:ons et the Prince of aftirritsir,.4
but aftet welds deserted by him, at the call of am-
bition, and the har.h comm tads of a parere.
Frantic at his perfidy,* fled her home, and mak
refuge. with her infant, the fruit of her imp:-
deace, in the vale of Rosenheim. Here death
soon deprives her of her child, the o' lv solace
of her grief, and in revenge for her t•: ern p,
szeais the only child of the Prior, of altimbutsii,
by the lady on whom, forgetful of his vows to
Matilda, he had bestowed his hand in wedlock.—
This child she rears as her own, under the name of
Adrian, and with all the fondness of a real mo-
ther. An early acquaintance here take. place be.-
tween :him and Orrao, the only daughter of the
Count of Rosen/trim, which with their growth ripens
into love. Prince Alienturzli,• the patron and fnenit
of Count Rosrnlieim, now become a widower, and
supposing his child dead, comes to the Castle
of Rosenheim, to solicit the hand of Oriiln.
The arrival of the Prince bastes the views of the
young lovers, and the Grunt of Rotesltrini, Stli•
petling the real state of his daughter's afiec..
lions. forbids Adrian's presence at the Cattle.—
Lerbaiee, page to Prtare Altenburg, conutres a
meeting between the young lovers at the horse of
his sister Mieva ; and while Adrian is on his way to
Minna', cotter:, he accidentally preserves the Me
of ifitemiere, but on learning his name, in ecru-
pliance with Matilda's request, he refuses all die
proffered se-vice of the Prince, and retires witheut
explaining the cause of his ex; raurdinat y behaviour.
A meeting having taken place between the lover,
Orriie consents to, and elopes with, Adrian. They
are intercepted in their flight, and brought back to
the Castle. Matilda hearing of the situation of
whose life is become forfeited by the laws of
Saxony, for endeaveuring to run off with the heiress
of a noble family, hastens to the Castle, gets admission
to the Count's presence, and in vain pleads for her
son Hearing the voice of Altenburg, she hic'es her face
with her veil. Th.! Pr as enters, leading in Ailriao,
has &heeler, chose pardon he obtains. Matilda
kneels to the Prince, unveils, and, in the relation
which she gives of the occurrences of her life d:s-
covers Arirscs to be the legitimate son of allttsgsriT,
by .hich all diaieulties to his marriage with Orrt'a
are removed ; the Count consents to tl.eir union, and
the Prince receives Mead as his wife.
This, play is of the German cast, and resembles
Low's ).'sus io its prinsip.al scenes, not only to
cliaraeter, but in sentiment and morality. Being
without an uridel plot, it is, however, more uni-
formly gloomy than Lovers' Vows ; but this defi-
ciency is amply supplied by the introduction of a
great variety of sweet music, the joint produtlion of
Mr. KELLY and Mr. ATTWOOD. As tit-. interest
of the piece arises out of the character of Matilda sr
Chrtnont, the great weight. of the performance of
course fell upon Miss Jousts. It Could not have
fallen upon one more competent to austain it. the
performance throughout was an uncommonly tine
piece of aft ing. In the scene where she throe s her-
self at the feet of Couot Rosevbeien, and is urn
the point of revealing the secret of Adri.se'r birth,
she was particularly successful. To her great
elettions, and the interest which she inidsed into
the charader, the piece WAS principally indeb:cd for
its reception, which was as favourable as the most
sanguine author could wish. Mr. Moe cite, in
Count liovenheim, was very impressive i but the el:c-
rafter of the I'Plart was totally unfit for Mr.
COOK,:: there is a hardness in that Gentlernan'a
manner, dl suited to tie lover. Miss Blows-ON was
a handsome portrait of Orri:a. The music has cur-
sidcra'Ae claims to praise. The airs are sweet and
simple, and the chorusses grand sad impressive.
The air in the first aft, " Oh ! welcome wan fear
down," by Aswooo, sung by bliss Team pos-
sesses much orginal.ty, and was rapturously earereit
also the glee by Keats', "Of Wine, or rosy wage.'
which was admirably sung by Ideas I Vaal, MM.
C. keit 'LC, and Mr. Lteros.
The stag, particularly the first, were much too
long; but, in proof of the interest which the pica,
possesses, it was heard throughout with deep atten-
tion, and the most uniform applause ; and was an-
nounced for repetition, with four distintt rooods of
plaudits.
A neat.proloaue, by Mr. Starersorots, was de-
livered by Mr. J. Beenrets. Tee lipilegue, by Mr.
WA/.H Poem, and spoken by Mrs. M s TToC KS
and Miss Baustroa, turned upon the Covent-Garden
Election, and described the Author as it candihaste
for the suffrages of the public. It tiontaiuct ieVer.gl
good points.
