Mrs. LISTON performed Luc7, in -the .I.3kar's
Opera, last night at Covent-Garden Theatre. She
Was very • snecesstul in the songs., and acquitted her-
Self tolerably well altogether. We hope, however,
.IVirs. C. Kt 1'411,!.E has not resigned the thara6er, 'at
it used to be one of her best performances.

desirable a subject tbr the Loudbn Managers. She

'A
very favourable report is given of tr riev,Comedf
in rehearsal at Drury-lane Theatre. The name o-
the Author is studiously concealed at present; bu
vye hope lie will. Inkv.S:oceasion to avow it with eon
tulence,
There is tie truth 10 the report that Mr. *BRUNTON
.t
Is going to retire train the stage, There is so much
real merit in this Aaor, who seems to be modestly
Content with Ma station, and he conducts himself
so properly in private lite, that he will alwOys be
sure of a respectable, footing on the London boards.
The great Craniologisi, Dr. GAU., is gone to Pa-
risL where he will find 011ie difficulty, in the exer-
cise of his art, froni the want of brams among the
-people who so quietly submit two-Foreign yoke,

Freedom.
It has been justly observed, that Sir SIDNItY
SMITH committed one mistake in his dispatches,
announcing the emigration of the Court of Portugal,
for he represented that interesting event as calm-
. laiedte atlOrd pleasure to all except the French,
whowere disappointed of their prey.' But this is.
•a mistake highly honourable 'to the feelings of the
gallant Officer, for it never could have occurred to
his patriotic mind, that a Party could exist among
his own countrymen, to whom that happy event
would afford nothing but vexation, and who, in-
stead of rejoicing, with'all good men Among us,. at
the safety of an old and faithful Ally, devoted
themselves to the ignoble task of critioising. the
accounts of it, and in wresting from. Great :Bri-
sin the honour which she might justly claim for
I.c.!r share in the atcomplisbtxmat of so glorious an
nterprize.
