FASHIONS FOR DECEMBER.

'PROMENADE OR CARRIAGE COSTUME. • .6
This dress, %viten divested of the spencer, or jacket, exhibits the
Evening or Opera Costume. In order to render these commodicus
habiliments the more clearly understood by our rt elders, we shaii
commence with a description of the Eveniug or Opera Costume ;
which consists of a round robe of ',smite or crimson-coloured Me-
rino, kerseymere, or queen's cloth, ornamented toned the boaour
anti up the front with a fancy gold embroidered border. The bodice
is composed of satin, or velvet, of the same colour, trimmed round
the bosom and sleeves with braid and narrow swansdown ; the froar
of the bodice richly ornamented, with gold and pearl buttons. it
gold baud and pearl, or diamond clasp, confine the bottom of the
waist, with a gold frog pending on each side, inclining towards the
hack-of the figure. The robe is laced behind with gold cord. Hair
disposed iu dialievelled curls, falling on the left side, and decorated
with clusters of variegated autumnal flowers. Necklace composed
e a treble row of pearl, white cornehan, or the satin bead, etn:fioed
in front with a diamond clasp. Ear-rings and bracelets to corres-
pond. Slippers, of crimson velvet, ornamented with Lttlil fringe
and rosettes, though we recommend those of white satin iu ;reveal-
enc.. White kid gloves, below the elbow. Fan of richly Itoste.d
silver crape:
The great convenience and novel attraction of this die-s, consist
in its admitting of a spencer of the same material as the robe, whi.
is richly ornamented, a la ith gold braid avd nct:ed
buttuus, forming a sort of epantette on the shoulder,. The I)encer
is embroidered up the seams of the back, on the shoulder-, and
to curet:: pond with the bottom of the robe. This fteuret,
worn over the ovening, dress, aPords at once both cosolort xud utility ;

A NEW FRENCH MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE.

The batteries along the French coast are now chiefly served by
peasants, who, though enrolled as national plaids, have us yet ac-
quired tint little discipline, and still It ss military spirit. During
the day their attention is &sided between the coltiva,tion of their
land and the duties ofgardes-cotes, and at night most of them return
to their habitations, and the few who are left tl:e ba teries,'es•r•e-
rally observe the injunctions of l'ilorpliens more puortually than
those of war. Profiting by their neglect, a small number of our
sailors, a few weeks since, lauded on the coast of Brittany, awl
stormed some redoubts which had been erected on the sca .to
protect the coming. trade. The guns were destroyed and six men.
who composed the whole garrison, were seized in their sleep, and
carried on board our cruizers. Much consteremion was exile-
r:enced by the inhabitants of the neighbouring sidage, who thus
timml themselves exp.ssed, defenceless, to future invasions. Yet
their patriotism and wailike enthusiasm \veto not of that (parity.
watch leads men to seek to repair disasters by encreascd wa!ehfid-
ness and exertions. Well informed, by their prism:cis, of the dis-
position of the peop!c, and forming a just opill;on of their value
fiom their pusillanimity, 001. Tars lauded again the next night,_
when all the inhabitants were. in bed, awl caused it to 1w proclaim-
ed nigh the village, by sound of (rowed, •that if the Muniei-
;dits consented to give them three pigs, these should he consitleeerl
a stalk:it:id ransom for the six French warriors whom they ha,l
taken. The Mayor was instantly awakened, and the proposals
laid belbre him. Many were the intercessions made by
insihers and wises to regain their sons and kustmods, even
at the high price of arc: pip,. The Mayor, however, dist •
not daie to act by himself in a matter of that iopertanee.
His first impulse was, no doubt, to send .a -courier to the Doe
peror NAPOLI:ON in Silesia. Ilut considering that since he
had no time to write bulletins of his own victories, he wou'd have
still le.s to interfere in su h distant soncerns, lie contented himself
with ordering the numicipality to assemble, and in full ceencil
eattAhl the weighty maw r to he di.euKed. Some cohsidered that
a pig was more than equal in value to two Frenchmen. Others on
the contrary maintained, that the offer ought to be is jectsti as de-
gradieg to the " Uieat Nation." A third party in winded 1! •ir op-
position to instant compliance with the demand, solely on their
hopelessness that it could be set ions, and proposed to ascertain that
point before they came to any settled iet•:rlLltioll. This advies %%4.,

so much elegance was Ilisplaycti that it met with a rapturous encore.

W.tn the four eldest are girls, and the youngest a buy, were.nrxt

the last Act, with Mrs. DICKONS, CATALINI sung with such taste-
ful, sweet, and vaiied expression, as produced an encore and re..

The Volontaire has arrived at Portsmouth, with accot.uts
of the army under JoHN Mt:allay to a Fte date; she
landed Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK On the Ist.i.l.;tant at
Alicant, whither the army had returned af'er their unsuc-
cessful movements towards Tarragona; his Lordship itntale-
diateiy assumed the command of them ; they were again re-
organised, and had begun, when the Volontaire left Alicant
on the 3d instant, to move towards Valencia; the first divi-
sion under General CLINTON had already advanced, and the
remainder were to march on the sth; SUGHET occupied
his former position at, St. Felippe, but on the Ist began to
fall back to the Ebro—it is supposed in consequence of Lind
NV ELLINGTON'S success, intelligence of which had just
reached him. On the return of the expedition from Tarra-
gona, 16 transports straying from the convoy, got on shore
at the entrance of the Ebro, four of which were totally
Nvrecketi ; no lives were lost, but some guns and ammuni-

tion could not be recovered. Sir JOHN MunnA I' is repre-
. sented to have been waiting at Alicant for au opportunity
to convey him to Sicily, to take the command there in Lord
NV. BENT INCK'S absence; but it is more probable that he
will return to England and undergo a trial by Court Mar-
tial, for his conduct at Tarragona. -The Officers of army
are said to be universal in their demand for investigation.

PANTHEON THEATRE.

The Pantheon, after giving us for many years a practical
illustration of the Pythagorean Metempsychosis, in its endless
changes, has just been opened as an English Opera, under
the management of Mr. HILL, formerly of Covent-Garden
Theatre. Whether this will he its last state, it is, of course,
impossible, even for critical ingenuity to anticipate. To
give an opinion of the merits of its company is an easier
task, and hitherto, it is rather of a favourable cast. But as
the representations have as yet been few, and only► presented
us with but few new claimants for dramatic fame, we shall,
in the spirit of fairness, defer all detailed observations some
time longer.

DRAMATIC REGISTER.

LYCEUM.

JULY 25.

The musical entertainment of The Shipwreck was revived
at this Theatre last Thursday night. It is, perhaps, to the
hypercritical spirit of the age that we owe the paucity of
original productions, and the abundance of revivals on our
%utniner stage. Unwi!ling to allow any merit to the present,
and always exaggerating the excellence of the past, the Pub-
lic and its critical oracles have only left this way open to
Managers to justify both themselves and our modern An-
thors. It is therefore, we conceive, in self-defence that they
bring forward pieces which show, that former writers wove
as slight a plot and penned as flimsy dialogue as the lowest
dramatic scribblers of our days, and that, notwithstanding the
general outcry, our Opera's are becoming every day more
allied to sense and interest than the musical vehicles of pre-
ceding writers.
The Shipwreck was raised last Thursday above its usual
insignificance, by the unexpected excellenee of Mr.PENt. EY,
in Tom Hawcer's part, and the appearance of Master BA R-
NET T, a boy about nine year's old, in that of Dick. The
former, hitherto always correct and respectable in his acting,
left nothing for censure to condemn, and little for praise to
extol. As the representative of Hawser, he displayed so
much feeling and spirit, and expressed the frequent changes
of passions with so much felicity, as to remind us forcibly of
BANNISTER in his happiest moments. Master BARNET Tv to
a strong and harmonious voice, joins a correct taste, much
judgment', and an easy and elegant execution. If be conti-
nues to be properly taught, and should the beauty of his voice
survive the critical period of its breaking, he promises to
become a worthy successor of the most eminent of our
singers, BRAIIAM. •

COPY OF THI7, DEPOSITION OF CHARLOTTE LADY
DOUULAS.

I think I first became acquainted with the Princess of
Wales in 1801. Sir John Douglas had a house at Black-
heath. One day, in November 1801, the snow was lying
on the ground. The Princess and a Lady, who, I believe,
was Miss Heyman, came on foot, and walked several times
before the door. Lady Stewart was with me, and said, she
thought that the Princess wanted something, and that 1
ought to go to her. I went to her. She said she did not
vant any thing, but she would walk in ; that I had a very
Pretty little girl. She came in and staid some time. About
a fortnight after Sir J. D. and I received an invitation to go
to Montague House ; after that I was very frequently at
Montague House, and dined there. The Princess dined fre-
quently with us. About May or June, 1809, the Princess
first ta!ked to me about her own conduct. Sir S. Smith,
who had been Sir John's friend for more than twenty veari,
came to England about November i sot, and came to live
in our house. I understood the Princess knew Sir S.. Smith
before she was Princess of Wales. The Princess kaw Sir S.
Smith as frequently as ousselves. We were usually kept at

death of Christ, he woldil have kept away. and that Christ would havi
