COVENT-G A RDEN.
Last night this Theatre closed for the season, and
was crowded to take leave of John Bull. The au-
dience and Dennis Brulgruddery parted, as they met,
with peals of applause. Miss W ADD Y was a most
interesting representative of Mary Thornbray; she
was impressive, feeling, and correct throughout, and
evinced considerable merit. Mr. H. S 'woes per-
formed the character of the moralizing Peregrine,
with good effect, but did not look the elder brother
of •Sir Simon Rochdale. At the end of the play Mr.
.I..F.wis came forward, and addressed the audience
in the following terms :
" LADIES and GENTLEMEN,

" I have often had the honor of addressing you
upon similar occasions at the end of the season, but
never upon one so signally successful as the present.
The gratitude we feel will be best expressed by the
efforts we shill make when we shall shortly again
have the honor of meeting you."
This Address was received with the most un-
bounded applause.
NAYM ‘ItKET.
In the trio of entertainments of yesterday evening,
we were presented with two new candidates for
public favor. Though nature is not much attended
to by the generality of old stagers, yet whenever we
find it the prompter of words and aetions, we are
pleased and gratified. In the engaging little co-
medy of " 7he Child of Nature," a young lady of
the name of GILI MANI, from the Bath Theatre,
made her debut (m the London boards ; and if
reiterated plaudits, and sympathizing sighs and
sobs, in an audience, are demonstrative of ability
in a performer, this lady's excellence is decidedly
admitted. We never witnessed a first appearance
which excited such unanimous applause ; and her
second performance in the same charter was an-
nounced by Mr. EL (Astor; with the most flattering
approbation, although he solicited only the " pa-
tronage of the ladies." The figure of Miss Ga imam
is rather small, but her aEtion, deportment, and
situations, were peculiarly graceful and • engaging.
Her voice is sweetly harmonious, and its modula-
tions "steal on the ear, and captivate the senses."
She dressed the charafler with singular and appro-
priate sweetness. In the pathetic scenes with her
newly discovered father, she evinced the possession
of powers, which irresistibly affe6ted the heart, and
roused the tender feelings of
In the stupid little Opera of the Flitch of Bacon,
a "Gentleman" made his fiat appearance in pub/i.
If he hopes for fame or fortune to result from a pro-
fession, we recommend him to seek for some other
than that of Theatrical.
NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PLYMOUTH, JUNE 21.
Came in, and went into Hamoaze, a large Dutch
East-Indiaman, from Batavia, which arrived last
week, prize to a London privateer. Last night the
Galgo, of 14 guns, Capt. Dodd, made signal for
her convoy for Ireland, at 6 p. m. consisting of near
50 sail. As the Galgo and the convoy were going
round the Penlee, the Galgo, by the tide setting
strong, drifted to the Eastward, and made signals
for the convoy to bear up, but they could not obey
the signals, and kept their course Westward, wind
W. N. W. The Galgo made a long stretch to the
S. W. and fetched the convoy before they got to
the Dodman Point. This day an order from the
Right Hon. tile Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty came down here to Messrs. Fuge and Son,
merchants at this port, to take out of the Two
Sisters, Dutch galliot, captured by the Doris, of
guns, Capt. Pearson, sent into Salcomb, and since
arrived here, 3,500 dollars, with part of her cargo,
consisting of oil, cinnamon, &c. claimed by a house
in London, as English property.
By the Colombe French corvette, which arrived
here yesterday, it appears, that she was the fore-
runner of a fleet consisting of one ship of 74 guns,
two frigates, and sixty merchant ships ; she left
them in the morning of the 18th instant, and was
making for Brest when the Endymion, of 44 guns,
and Dragon, of 74 guns, fell in witk and captured
her in the afternoon of that day, about twenty
leagues S. W. of Ushant. The Dragon instantly
made sail for the Channel fleet, and joined them next
morning ; and on communicating this glorious in-
telligence, they immediately aispersed_ in all direc-
tions in quest of them, and there seems to be very
little doubt that the greater part, if not the whole,
may find their way to British ports.
PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 22..
Arrived the Nemesis, of 2 guns, Capt. Somer-
ville ; and the Charwell sloop of war, Capt. Duma-
resq, from Plymouth. Sailed the Egyptie,sne, of
44 guns, Hon. Capt. Fleming; and the Orpheuv,
of .33 guns, Capt. Hill, for Guernsey. Last night,
after post, arrived the Ganges, of 74 guns, Captain
I.l,kinley, from Jamaica.
Arrived the Tygrcs: and Earl Spencer, East-India-
men, and several outward-bound vessels, from the
Downs.
