the Algerine and Tunisian States. In the latter end
of May 'le general battle was fought, which lasted
the whole of the day. At length the Tunisians gave
way, and were pursued in their flight by the
gerines, who made dreadful slaughter among the
tligitit es. The Algertnes were wound., up to the

THE OYERA.—..The opera of Il Fanntieo
per la illusiea drew a ereededi audienee on Saturday
last at the King's theatre. Madame CATALANI ap-
peared' in the character which 'Mrs. EILLINGToN
performed lair year. Her powers are less caleulated
tor the comic than for the serious drama ; but she
was easy .and playful. Her execution of the songs
was 'admirable. She introduced Mette's well kuu en
air in itiolide, but gave in quite a new manner,
butmore appropriate to a comic opera. As orig
ally given by MARA, it was interesting and pathetic.
CATALAN; rendered it sprightly and executive. It
was, indeed, so covered with graces as to be entirely
in masquerade. NALDI was highly humorous, and
sung with admirable skill and taste.
.;.file THEATRE.—Mr. EGERTON, from the Bath
stage; made his first appearance on the London
boards on t attirday last at the Flay-Market theatre,
as The Duke, in the comedy of The Honey Moon.
Mr, EGERTON possesses a good person. In face, Ito
somewhateesembles POPE, It was evident through
the whole of his performance, that he was intimi-
dated at the sight of a London audieece,,and he had
an awful task to,undergo, as a failure in London is
attended with a certain diminution of tame' in the
country.e- But, though the diffidence of Mr. EGII/1
TON obstructed his powers, yet it did not
of
hint from displaying a vet), respectable rate unility,
which induces us to expect mere when he can'' screw
his courage to the sticking plate." As he did not
take part in the dande lie received some illiberal
treatment from the audience, which induced him to
conic for Ward and apologleee He stated that the
omission arose front his timidity. - We trust that
Mr. Eoiteeote will perform again, and that he. will
receive treatment more worthy of a British audience
oteanyehture exertion. Mr. YOUNG 011 Saturday
resigned his part in The Fortress to Mr.-Pe eel ea.
Miss G. the young. Lady who eloped from her
father's house in the vicinity of Piecadilly, as formerly
elated, haebeen traced to a village near Dorchester,
lie Oxfordshire, but too late to prevent the wished-
for union of the parties in wedlock. The fugi t ives
were so closely, pursued to Newbury, in ,Berkshire,
by inquiring front stage to stage, wheie they had
posted from, that the brother of the young Lady
end a servant were in the towuiat the same time.—
The young couple returned to Reading in road-
exaggooeund proceeded from thence, by post, to the
village where they-were united; and, by the above
stratagem, they avoided their pursuers, who travelled
be to Bath, Cheltenham, &c.
An attempt was made a few days since, by ELAN-
:CITAED and his wile, to ascend in a baton!), at the
Hagee, but owing to the carelessness of one of the
assistants., • who did not understand French,- the bed-
loon remained fixed to a beam, and was tore to
rieces-seit was. of the illontsolfitir kind.
