the same time, several large ships were ,ibsured
coming round the South Foreland from the I)owr,,
and standing over for the French coast. Upon ihe
supposit;on that Boulogne is the destination of the
armament, and that it sailed on Sunday cvenict,
the attack was, probably, made that :tight, or yes.
terday morning. Some, however, suspeet that Hos-
logne was only the ostens:ble. and not the real
objea, the apparont force not being considered ade•
quate to so great an undertaking. There is reason,
also, to believe, that the people of Boulogne had
notice (if our intention, and have made preparations
accordingly. A cutter arrived, on Saturday, from
off that place, which repoits, that the enemy had
pushed a great number of craft out of the harbour
into the roads. The exaet number was not known,
but, by some it was estimated at 300, of Ilariulic

Mr. B s tett ay, last night, for the first nit, filled
the part of resin!! Woodville, in Mr. CUM BEIM ‘3113.1
excellent Comedy of The Wheel if foiturr. It WAS
a -pirited and interesting performance, and was re-
ceived with mach applause. The attraction of the
night WAS a new Fatce, called The l! racier It
derives its name from Trii.tram, a young gentleman,
of a fickle temper, who his h-en constantly chang-
ing his pursuits in life. The piece commences
with his reconciliation with his father, on his deter-
mining to become a lawyer, and the Audiener are
introduced to his study, where he puts on his wig
and gown, places his servant, Sneer, in a great chair,
addresses him as judge, and gives some very hu-
mouroux imitations of a modern lawyer. lie then
changes, successively, to an ilvior, a Soldier, a G...
firmer, a Qn,iier, and, lastly, a Maw of tat/pan ; and
receives Site hand of his Marianne. Mr. B A NtlisT se
supported this variety of charaeter with the ricl.est
humour : it never relaxed for an instant, and kept
the house in bursts of laughter. Miss De CAMP
WAS the fascinating Marianne, who had captivated
the hero, at a masquerade, in the charader or a tair
Savoyard. She again appears before him in a garden,
dances and sings, accompanying herself on the trian-
gle; and, whilst he is preparing to address her, she
goes to the side of the stage, and returns afa/eQuakee.
By the admirable petrol MAIICe of Miss Ds C•Nr,
the interest was kept up to the last. She sang two
very pr.tty songs ; music! by Mr. KING. Bre:r-
ivet, a Lawyer of the old School, who dealt in mono-
syllables, was well supported by Mr. MA THLWS.
The Servant and Father were also well performed by
Mr.Pc ascii and Mr.Cn rite v. the author intended it
asafaree of the broadest kind, and has completely suc-
ceeded. It was received throtignout with the loudest
applause, and announced for future representation
by Mr. BANNISTER, amidst the strongest expres-
sions or assent. The house overflowed with elegant
company.
