COURT-MARTIAL ON COLONEL QUINTIN.

llionda morning the Court re-assembled, pursuant to adjournment,
%slum Lieut.-Colonel Palmer entered Ilion the reply to the detvnee
of Colonel tlointin to the charger. Col. Palmer occupied the at-
tention of the Court about an hour and a hall; in the course of
which he commented on the evidence adduced by the prisoner,
and endeavoured to convince the minds of the Court, that the pri-
soner. so tar trout answering the charges, had, by his defence and his
iteessea, completely aided the testimony in favour of the proaeen-
tion. He rested, with perfect confidence, upon the candour of the
Cmirt, in doing justice to the 01ficeis of the 10th Hussars, who, in
biinging the charges before them, were actuated by no other motive
than a desire to protect their honour and character, and the good of
the service.—The Court was immediately cleared, but the senteuee
cannot of course be known till it has received the sanction of the
Prince Regent.
It is said Government has determined on a vigorous prosecution
of thriller hostilities against America ; ordera being dispatched for
hastening the sailing of the troops on board traesperts, and for
facilitating the embarkation of others. Three thousand troops
sailed from Plymouth, for Bermuda, Wednesday, under convoy of
the Vengenr. Large supplies of ammunition and stores were like-
wise shipped last ‘veck at Portsmouth, for the same destination.

DRURY-LANE.

JEAN DEPARts.—Both our winter Play Houses
are now deepry engaged in a translating race. Covent GT.-
den having lately given out that Jean de Paris, a French
Opera, performed at the Feydeau theatre in that capital, was
preparing for representation, found itself unexpectedly an-
ticipated by the Drury Lane Managers, who silently got up
that piece, and on Tuesday last suddenly introduces} it to
the British public. Whether the distanced opponent will
give up the race or endeavour to recover the ground he has
lost, has not yet been ascertained, and all that it now be-
comes us to enquire is, whether the prize itself was worth
the contention, and how far the British public ought to be
pleased with their new acquaintance Mr. Jean de Paris.
Like all French pieces this trifle. possesses but very little `
plot, and cannot fail to disappoint the lover of deep intrigue
end complicated incidents. The Dauphin of France, son to
Phillip tie Valois (Elliston) has heard of the beauty of the y
Princess of Navarre (Mrs. Edwin), whose alliance is courted
by most Princes in Christendom. Before he becomes one of
the pretenders to her band, he resolves to see her incognito, '
and assuming the disguise and rough manners of a merchant
of his time, and the name of Jean dc Paris, sets off, with a
large retinue, equally disguised, to meet her on her travels, and ,
reaches, before her, an inp, kept by an Irishman (Johnstone) P
in Navarre, and hired for her reception by the High Senes-
ehal of Navarre (Lovegrove.) Jean de Paris, however, gives
five times the money the Seneschal has paid, and takes pos- ,
session of the hotel, to the great alarm of the landlord and ,1
his daughter (Mrs. Orger), who hourly expect the arrival of
the Princess anti her attendants. The appearance of the
Seneschal encreases their fears, and the Irishman himself is
at a loss how to find an excuse for what has happened, when
Jean de Paris comes forward, and claiming the hotel as his ,
own, invites the Princess and the enraged Seneschal himself
to dinner. Whilst the latter is venting his indignation the
Princess arrives, and having been secretly informed of the
disguise of the Prince, accepts his invitation, though she
affects to treat him as a merchant. Jean de Paris, who had
provided for such an occurrence, causes a splendid repast to
be served in costly plate, on the green, whilst the villagers
execute a tasteful dance before the guests. When the fete is
over an explanation takes place between the lovers, and Jean
Is caught at the feet of the Princess by the Seneschal, "ho
can no longer contain his astonishment and his indignation,
which still encrease when the Princess assures him she has
selected the Merchant for her husband. To remove all sur-
prise, however, the Prince orders his attendants to throw off
their, disguise, and opening his mantle, spews the broad
erachat of France on his breast, when all preseut do him
homage, az:d the piece closes. As an episode to this meagre
plot, the Seneschal's daughter (Miss Kelly), who had run
away with the Prince's favourite (Mr. Wallack) and attended
as a Page in the suite of the pretended Merchant, is restored
to,and pardoned by her father.
Such is the outline of..this hide, which,- though very sim-
ple, is not unatnosing. Its dialogue is not of a quality to
enhance its beauties, it is true, and its success chiefly de-
pends
on the abilities of the performers C'but tl ese are ex-
erted in such a manner as to give life and colour to the most
raked canvas. Elliston maintains a proper dignity amidst
all his assumed roughness, and when carried off his guard
by his feelings, in tile scene in which he reveals his love,
suffers the most elegant and princely manners to burst forth;
Mrs. Edwin displayed much pleasing. playfulness, and Miss
Kelly, Lovegrove, Johnstone, Atid .Mrs. Qrgers mach Visits,
