Yr; who gloried in NE Lsos, thro' Life so viaorious,
The pride of the Good, and the boast of the Brave,
Now moufkßritons, mourn o'er his Exit, so glorious,
And strike Our Sad breasts while you bend o'er his grave:
Our grief, mix'd with joy, with each pang, exultation,
The confiia, how sore, 'twixt the smile and the tear ;
Whilst, struggling wit°•rapture and anguish, the Nation
sees the Cypress and Laurel unite o'er his Bier !

Where tow'ring TRAFALGAR frowns over the Ocean,

And stern the rude winds and the billOws deifies,
FRENCHnd SPANIARDS, at morn, we discover'd hunotion,

Primed each gallant heart—set each bosom on fire.

TUE THEATll2.—Master PETTY ventured a se-
cond time in the.charaCter of Macbetit .on Saturday
last, at Drury-Lane Theatre Though the per-
' Lormance of such an arduous part by such a juvenile
dor naturally excited s.urprize, yet it is by no
=cans such:a representation as is suitable to the judg-
rnent and knowledge of a London audience, and
his friends, are absolutely doing all they: can to injure
him in public: opinion, by forcing-hirn, to appear in-
such chargters. There was more disapprobation
on Saturday than on the former occasion, though.
the applause greatly. pi dominated. From this dis-
aHrobation the Public . will always protect him
When he appears in characters adapted to his time,
and more suitable to his powers, nor indeed is it
probable thar any dis4,lprobAion„would then arise.
The house was well attended, but by no means
crowded.

On the southern frontier of Coirabatoor several
partizans of the late Pyche Rajah, in correspondence
-with and assisted by t--10/.4411, succeeded in creating
some disturbances; but the prompt exertions of the
military of the district speedily restored tranquillity:

cavalry, who ;had plundered and destroyed several
villages on the banks of the Charnbul River, and at

enemy left behind all booty; whiciri.when pro-
perly identified, will be restored to the unfortunate
owners.
