tHE THEATRE:

Driiry.tane.
THE• translated' Play of The Striinger was
presented forthe first time this season last night;
and Mr. KEMBLE resumed his chara&er of the
dejected Hero of the Piece: This charaaer is
peculiarly well-Calculated lot the talents and qua::
lities et KEMBLE. it demands no very alive
exertions, but it requires a judicious conception;
strong sensibility, and the habits of polished life,
under the veil of misanthropic severity and gloom:
These _marks of original charaaer and SuperinFt
dUCCd atfcCtioas, KEMBLE exhibited with
.p red=
sion and pathos, and in the words of GaAy,

" O'er the cheek of sorrow threw
" A met:m-754 gracv."

Mrs. Sinnutis laboured under a severe coldo
which somewhat impaired her efforts in the part
of Mrs. Haller, but she performed. it altogether
with dignity and feeling. In the last scene the
struggles of cor,jugal affedion and agonizing
penitence were admirably depided. The Play
was on the whole very well represented, arid very
well received.

The Atter-piece was the ITZW Operatic Farce
of The Veteran Tar, which at this period " comes
home to the business and bosoms" of Englishmen;
forcibly appeals to their patriotism and loyalty,
and is by no means uncnrcrtaining. It has alsci
the strong recommendation of good music and
tolerable aeling throughout. There is an addition
to this Piece in the- appearance of the French land
English Ships in Action, which forms an amusing
coup-d'cril. The House was very well attend-
ed, and the latter Piece also went off with consi-
derable efreta, to which BANNISTER, jun. SU,ETT,
and Mrs. MOUNTAIN, as well as DE CAmr
essentially contributed. The unaccompanied
strains of the latter, however, are not the most
tuneful we have heard, and a lUdicrous feeling
arises from the unsuitable compliment which is
paid to their melody.

It was a mistake to say, that a Council bad
been held at Buckingham..lloue on Friday even..
ins last. No Council was held. The SPEAKER
of the House of Commons went thither in the
evening,. and had an audieic of 1-1,44 S MAJESTY)
which lasted about three hours,

Mr. PITT did not himself hear of his Resigner:.
'ion till about ten o'clock on Saturday evening,
when, as we have been informed, it was cona
municated to him by the SPEAKER. It afforded
no doubt a hearty laugh for the rest of the night.
The DUKE of Yoix expressed the most lively
surprize when he was informed of the Report
of his gleam/. with Mr. PI TT.—The Public
may be assured that this Report is just as un.
founded as that of Mr. Pitr's Resi ;nation.
These rumours were industriously raised and
circulated by the retainers of Faaion and Ja.
cobinism, for the purpose of creating a temporary
alarm in the public mind. We trust the PubliC
in future will know how to estimate Jacobin rt,
ports.

We have only to ask of those very knowing
and quell-infirmed Gentlemen who circulate re.
ports of Divisions in the Cabinet, bow they
should know of such Divisions, if they even ac-
tually did exist ; for we believe every Cabinet
Minister takes an oath to keep secret not only
the proceedings in the Cabinet, but the opinion
of every individual Member ? How then, we ask,
can there be any foundation for the reports which
have been so industriously circulated ,of Divi-
sions ? '[here can certainly be none but iuraliie,
and that is the Creature of Fancy.
A circumstance rather singular occurred on
Monday in the House of Commons. An Irish
Member moved for a new Writ for an Irish 80..
rough, the present Members for which did not
choose to be at the expellee of travelling to Eng.
land to take their seats.

Sir MARct/s SONItRVILLB was the only Irish
Member who voted with the Opposition on Mon..
day evening. Sir LAtiarNcr: PARsONS voted
with Ministers.

It is with regret we state, that' Bread was
raised yesterday a whole Assize. The Quartern
Loaf will be sold on Thursday at is, 7id.
everal Bakers complained to theLo R o MAYOR
of the Flour with which they were served by
their Mealmen, and which appeared upon pro 4
clueing the samples, not only to contain the broad
bthan, but the husks of black oats, and a great
quantity of other disagreeable articles, which
made the taste and colour so very disgusting to ,
their customers, that they declined dealing with
them, unless an alteration was speedily made ; in
consequence thereof, we are in hopes his Lord_
ship will cause prosecutions to be commenced
against those Mealmen who sell such adulterated
meal for Standard Wheaten Flour.

A Court of Common Council will be held to:.
morrow, precisely at twelve, o'clock, for the
Elation of the Irish Society, and appointment
of Committees for the present year.

Jan. 17, says, " They write from Kinteln, in the
Landgraviate of Hesse Cassel, that about the be.

twelve years of age, had passed through that
place upon a carriage, having been purchased in
Swabia, and going to Hamburgh to be shipped for
America. The eldest weer incessantly, while

L ATV REPORT.

THE ZINO V. DUTTOI4.

JEAN stAquEs ROUSSEAU.

CAURT OF KING'S BENCH, Frs. 3.

This morning the two Grand Juries for the
County of Middlesex were sworn ►n before Mr.
Justice GRWP, after which his Lordship deliver-
ed to them a very excellent Charge, previous to
their entering on their public duty.

The ATTORNEY GENERAL, prayed the judg-
ment of the Cows on the Defendant, who had
been .convicted of hooting and hissing -at the
KING as HIS. MAJESTY was returning from the
,Theatre last summer, of which he had been.con-
vieled.

It appeared by affidavits that this Defendant
was by trade a shoemaker, and was a" harmless
and remarkably quiet person in every instance
almost of his life, but this one, and that he indis-
creetly joined the crowd which surrounded the
carriage of His Majesty, and behaved; certainly,
very indecently ; but he implored pardon, and
was sincerely sorry for his error. The AtTOR-
NrY 6FIVERAL said he was satisfied, this person
in every, instance except this had concluded him-
self well.

Lord KENYON said, that if the Court pro,.
flounced judgment at all, it must have a complec.
Lion resembling the offence, otherwise our poste.
'icy, when they come to look at the Record,
Would think the Rnles of Justice were, negleaed ;.
therefore to save that rigour, if the AT FORNEY
GENERAL consented, but otherwise it could not
be done, the Defendant might be allowed to go
at large upon his own recognizance, to be forth.
coming when called for.
The AT FORNEY GFNERAL Consented, and the
Defendant was allowed to go at large according.
ly—he entering into a recognizance himself in
Sol. to be forthcoming-when called upon, &c.

THE suspicious and .0 nhappv disposition of
this Writar, are well known to all who are ac-
quainted with his history, and with the account
'of his behaviour towierds Mr. Hump, the His-
torian. His pOsthumous Work, of which so
mach has been said, which he left as a legacy
to Posterity, not to be opened,till the Eighteenth
Century should be concluded, turns out to he the
same which he entrusted to Mr. BOOTH BY, and

which that Gentleman published in I 780. • We
believe there are no 'material variations between
that Work and' the lately discovered M. S. in-
titled Rousseau Sitting in jutnetit on
`lean
Jacques. His favourite theory is, that all man.
kind are in league against him, and conspiring to
destroy his repose and his honour ; that the good
hate him on account of'his miscondua in life, and
the bad, on account of the virtuous principles his
Works inculcate. His enemies, he says, have
found the art of reducing him to a state of solitude
in the midst of Parik, and of rendering him odious
in the eyes of the Populace, who consider him
with hOrror. If he' attempts to buy a book or
an almanac, the bookseller will not sell him au), ;
if he wishes to cros's the water, the Boat-men
refuse to carry him for the ordinary fare.; when
he wishes to have his shoes cleaned, the very
shoe-blacks refuse him their assistance, particu-
larly those of the Palais Royal ; if he enters the
gates of the Thuilleries,the distributors of quark
bills do not think -it necessary to pay him the
compliment of thrusting one into his hands, and
the beggars turn up their noses in scorn at the
alnls he offers them :—as some solution' for all
this extravagant suffering, the judge of jean
Jacques informs us by way of farther complaint,
that when a figure is burnt in effigy, the mob are
wicked enough to trick it forth in exactly his
costume and style of dress. We doubt whether
the archetype of Guy Faux would be better treat-
ed in the streets of London.
