THE ATR £.-A new Opera was Inzt
forward last night at Drury-Lane Theatre] ander
the name- of Aelelarorn the Outlaw. It is ,the
acknowledged produaion of Mr. LEWIS, the vge~lL
known author of The Monk. The Fable was so
confused, that it was difficult to comprehend it
distinetly, bur there was nothing novel or interest
ing enough in it to deserve a detail. The Author
has borrowed from his own Castle Speare, as well
as from other Pieces, but has borrowed so injUdi,
ciously, that his work, altogether, is one of the
most despicable Pieces that ever disgraced a Lon,
don Theatre. He has resorted to the hackneyed
expedient of a Ghost, which first appears as a d
and twice afterwards, once to forgive an acconiphei
in the murder, and a third time to convia th 4
murderer. In short, it is difficult to describe itt
dulness, folly, and. profanation of what ought to'bo
sacred. The Music was composed by KELLY, anti
it is to be regritted that it was throw" darn)
upon such arrant nonsense. A numerous Audkinci
consigned it to the oblivion it merits.

It is said Government has received official advict
that Admiral GI NTHEAUME'S Squadron, after Sail.
ing from Tonivs on the 19th of March; returnee
again on the znt.

The Prince of BRAZIL is to command, accordfnl
to the French Papers, the Portuguese Army it
person. _

The persons who were concerned in the cutieui
affair of carrying off the Senator CLEMENT Dl Rr
some months ago in Frame, have been apprehended.
We shall probably learn from their trial some par_
ticulars respating this modern BITTY CANNING.
Last week GEORGE IVERS, Esq. was exiled to
the Degree of Barrister at Law by the lipn. Spcietj
of the Middle Temple.

Yesterday morning, between seven and
eliAt
o'clock, a most horrid murder was. perpetrated' at
Stepney Comruen,Jon a woman of the name Of lAN.
son, wife of a milk-carrier in the employmedi cd
Mr. Egg, of Narrow-srreet, Limehouse. The hut.
band of the deceased, on his return hoine, found his
wife bleeding on the floor, with her head beat in
with a hammer, which was lying on the flour close
by-her. All the clothes they possessed _were tied up
in a bundle, ready to be taken away : the murderer
took twelve shillings, being the whole that the poor
people had saved the preceding week.
The Landlord of the Five Bells Public-hou'se,- in
Swallow.street, Piccadilly, who has been missing
for three weeks, was yesterday found drowneJ in
his water-butt.

All wonder will cease at the crowded- Audiences
seen every evening at the Royal Circus, St. George's -
fields, when the merit of .each Piece offered to the
public eye at that Theatre is considered. Nothing
can exceed the representation of the late glorious
Vilory of the Northern Fleet ; - such is the rna.
nceuvring of the ships, particularly a real Seventy-
four, with Nelson and his brave Crew on board.
The Speftacle of Rinaldini has every charm which
fine music and interesting incident can yield ; the
Equestrian. Feats of that surprizing infant, Master
Saunders, are complitely unrivalled ; and the Pan.
tomitne of the Magic Flute is as great a
.Lrouritc
as ever.
