Drzirk-rane
At this.Theatre new Prima in-iTiree acts, intitled
The Siege qf St.. Quintini or .Spliniith Heroism,. was
brought forward last night. :.Forithe7)("imatis Per-
sonae of this, and the new Piece at Atie Opera,,
House, we refer our Readers 'to the 4dvertisdments,
in the fropt of our, paper,—The memorable tri=
umph of Spanish valour over France, in the butte"
which gives-the name to this new drama, afforded
a good opportunity tbr an author to pay homage to
the heroic natives-of Iberia; but their recent achieve-
ments 'in support of the independence of their
Cowry, against the ferocious Tyrant of the
European Continent, might' be thought a still
more proper ground toe. draMatieComposition, and
indeed f9r every specious of celebration which Truth
as well as Pokry, could supply.—But the piece be-7
fore us is well7tirried,; the British Nation will Teadi-
ly testify its esteem, and admiration for the loyal and
patriotic Spaniards, by a- kind reception of every
thing intended to do them houour.

The Siegi of. st. Ruintiia ;was written by'the.
author ot-Tekeli; and he had 'tilde the former
also an Afterpiece, he would have insured it more
popularity, as,the materials are expanded too much,
and are hardly quificient for a Play. It is, however,
written with vigour. The sentiments are striking,.
and the whole is brought forward in a very magni-
ficent style. The acting was in general good.
LISTON, JOHNSTONE, Mrs. H. SIDDONS, and Bita-
HAM, particularly .distinguished themselves ; and
though the ultimate judgment was by no means very
friendly, yet it was evident that the opinion of the
majority was in favour of its repetition, The.
Music does credit to the talents of Mr. Hoox,-.sen. •

A new Piece of three Mis, entitled 'Tice Exile,
was represented last night at (his :Theatre,:

FABLE.

Count Ulrick, a Nobleman of distinaion, after acquiring
great reputation in the Russian army, is nevertheless ba-
nished to Siberia, through the base influence of Prince Lowen.
stern over the Empress Catherine. lie is thither followed
by Sedona, his wife, and his daughter A lexina. Rornanott; .
the nephew of the Governor of -Tobolskow frequently visit- '
ing the wretched family at their retreat in the neighbourhood,
a mutual attachment takes plac,' between him and Alexina,
which his uncle suspecting, in- order to prevent his 'future
visits, and to compel him to marry the niece of Prince
Lowenstern, banishes him beyond the frentiens, 'and ehdea- '
vour,s to force Alexina into a marriage witli-Weizien. Roma--;
notl assumes the name of "Varan, goes to St. Petersburgh,
and, in the disguise of an Indian, gets into the service of Baron
Alltradolf, a' nephew of Prince. Lowenstern, a pert, vain
coxcomb,-and in that 'capacity "aecompanies him-to Tobol-
skaw, whither the Baron is journeyibg.to'claim 't .e hand of
Catharine, the-Governor's niece, whose affections he in vain j
attempts to win by his skill in: inuait and' dancim;, nerheart
being already devoted to Count •Calmar,' by whom she is
befoved with equal ardour. Roirlkruiff; aware of the'
preparing for Count Ulriek, td,ciaficeal- his benevolent de,
signs, assumes a ferocious aspect, and expresses a deadly
hate -to the exile anti his fairtityl-by-w hien Itteni+S-4te com—
pletely blinds the Governor, as ,to his intentions, and jointly
with Welzein (the enraged and
.rejected suitor of A-lexina),
is entillted with the execution. of the Empress's orders ; in
pursuance. of, which Vl:kik is dragged from -his retreat; r
and
nnprisonedm Tobolskow, and they are sent in' pursuit of
Alexina, who has set out, acconipanied by Yerntack (a taith---,
Int domestic), on the desperate undertaking of travelling to
St. l'etetSbUtghto solicit her 'father's pardon. In this,un- 4
ttertaking he cornpletely frustrates the viiidiCtive designs of
Nelzien, and Alexina reaches the neighbourhood of Moscyw
in safety,. . • •

The iejoicings of the inhabitants of that city annottnattie4

grateful tidings of the accession of Elizabeth td the Thron:
of Russia, and of her .;;pproaching coronation. Alex:m.l hasten,
thither, rushes into the presence of her new Sovereign, all
notwithstanding the influence of the Patriarch (a near rela:
teem or Prince I.•owenstern), she procures, through the mean'
of the disguised Rontanoff, the pardon she solicited, and-inl",
mediately departs fur Siberia; without waiting for illy dec.(
of pardon to be completed; by which means she is again ;Pb-
jetted to all the bitterness of sorrow ; and in order to savt'
herself and family from. immediate destruction, she is coal'
pelted to marry the supposed Daran. The Governor at
....length receives the Royal Mandate frona-tis C-ottrt -tbr the
liberation of Count Ulrich, and by it he. becomes
.acquai::tc:i
with the villainy and disgrace of Princ4.l:ialsk:nitern, vvnica
reconciles him to the union of his daughter with Count Gal"
mar,. to whose protection she had fled, after escaoing trot?
her uncle's house by theingenuity, of Servitz? Romanolt,
now I saran, clairris'Afexina tor his brine, and the exile is re'
stored to his fotmer hoifotirs. - • •
• The fable of this- piece is derived frt= a french
Novel, eutitled Elizaetlz,.written by IVlaitarrire GOT-
TIN, and-'an interesting Romance, lately% published,
the produffion of a young Englishman, entitled, g'hle
*Ponzance V. the Pyrenees. - Mr. REY.NOLDS, WIIO is
the'authdr of The Exile, has shewn his ingennity in
blending the chief incidents of both these works,
and,adding from big own fancy, what, on the Whole,
,enables his plak. to, excite a strong interest in the
audience., .But the principal view of the author bas
been to produce a drama adapted to the taste of the
day, and for this purpoSe he has called'in the power"
fuhaid ;of scenery, music, procossions, &c. •
The piece is avowedly of that species which is en 7
titled Aleto-Draine, in which the parmies' in the oc-
tion and the dialogue are.filled up with musical ac."
coMpanirrients.-'l'his species of Drama is 'periealY
ridiculous, and. calculated rather to interrupt than
assist the interest; •but it is the fashion, and must bP
borne". till some great dramatic-genius Shall- break
forth, anti improve the,public taste, which at pre-
sent seems to be• at a very low ebb indeed.
It would be gross partiality to say that there is all
thing novel in the plot, the characters, or the senti-
ments of this Play ; but as a whole, it awakells
sympathy, and its serious parts. are wellelieved bY.
.those of, i comic nature. Mr. REYNOLDS deserves
considerable credit for writing in a' manner so differ"
ent from the usual style of his productions, but his
strength lies in Audicrous- hits at the manners and
humours of the present times :—now and then
'some thing:, of this kind appeared last night, and were'
as usual, well received. .•

_ .
The piece before us, as a combination of what bas
been seen in other productions of a similar kind, i 5
likely to. become very popular, particUlarly as it 15
very
,well supported_ by he Performers, And has, been
most liberally brought forward by .the Managers.'-""
The scenes in Siberia,LOther parts of the Ilussir-1
Empire, the-coronationof Eliz'abeth, and. the pre-
parations far the return of Count Wrick and.„d/eAI36
were beautifufand grand. 2
The acting. was in general excellent: Tot/14cl
' took the lead. He was most wartnly'reCeived on
his entrance, and the spirit, judgment, and
which uniformty marked his atting, proaired loud
and general applause., Mrs. H. JOHNSTON was 015°
conspicuous in the .piece, but her voice is not very
musical, and .she does not know how- to manage it'
so that she-olten offended the ear insteadot irnpre9;
ing the hea'rt. However, she took great pains, at''
will probably improves by practice. P,TE gave 3
venerable support to the part of Ulrick. MuNl:4`4l.
lasTost, and FAWCETT, were all excellent in tt
1;1
way. Mrs. DicKoNs sang with her usual 5ki11,.121;
we saw no necessity for so much accompanying"7:;ei

vantage.- :hie Music was, composed- by .-1‘4,17.
ZINClit, and' Was marked by taste and .e'xinession,;,
well as sc,ence.'. The only: opposition .:which 'f

was announced for repetition by YouNO, in a 11)31v)
ner very different from the usual style in winch
Dramas have. been obtruded, in opposition .to
obvious sentiments of the audience. He.was
but "modest and iespedful, and the audience testifiece
their approbation ofins.mode of submitting the
to their judgment, as well a, of the piece itseit%
The Theatre was' quite 'full, except the Fri"te

came en. . The fight,itift on the Island continued for
nine days. The 'gen ison.was considerably more nu-
merous than was at first supposed.
It is impossible to form any idea-,of the, fury
displayed by. our troops. 'ln the hottest a the battle,
they scrambled up rocks so steep, that it is ex-
' tictnely difficult to climb them even
.whe,-e there ate
no obstacles to be overcome..An idea of,their height
may be fortned.from the faa that a- reinf weement of
300 men took longer time to get up the -landing
place, than. the 1800 who climbed up
,irk the
.beat of
action, with their arms and accoutrements on their
backs. To plant the ladders, ascend the height,
seize the cpanon, and make 700 prisogers, was only
the work of, an instant.• We have availed ourselves
of all the enerny'S works, and the Island is no.v in
a formidable state of defence. General LAMARQUE,.
who is the principal in command, writes that 15,000
of the English cannot expel him from it."
