THE THEATRE.

A new Opera. was represenied last night, at
Druty-lane Thetre, the title of which is Naren-
sky ; or, the Road to Yaroslaf. The
~scene lies
chiefly in a Russian village. 'lt is needless td
enter into a detail of the fable, as it bears a strong
resemblance to many oth& dramas of the- &and
kind, in which robbers are introduced in their
caves, as well as
,in their hostile operations,
and in which lovers are separated, and get.
into the hands of banditti. Indeed, in one
circumstance, this piece bearS a striking re,
semblance to The Miller and his Men, as a
person pretends to 'join the Robbers, in order
to rescue their victim, and bring them to justice.
,But the Opera of last nights though- rather lan-
guid and dull in the first act, and partly in the
cond,,is by no means devoid of interest.upon the
whole, and as the heavy Parts are mere redun-
dancies, they may, of course, be lopped off u+ith
oth d effect.

The second aet should conclude with the appear-,
ince of'.the father and (laughter in the hands, of
the robbers, as hence an awful suspense would re-
main on the audience. And it the piece-were to
conclude With the triumph over the robbers, and
the curtain were to descend while-the soldiers are
pointing their musquets, the probable conse-
quences of marriage, &c. &c. %Our!l leave the.au.
(Fence with an adequate impression of poetical
justice. lint, in fact, this pice, ought chiefly
to be considered, according to the technical term,
as a vehicle for music and sf•edery, and in thest
respects the Managers have done their duty.—The
music does credit to BRAHAM and REEVE. At:
echo- song by the former is beantfal 111 composition,
and was so admirably'eiecuted by- .BRA.HANI as tO,
.excite a doubt whether his Under-voice was not
u distant .resporiSe. There was also a trio,, com-
posed by. BiZAHAM, of great merit, and which had
all due'support from himself,,Mrs. thi:KONS., and
Miss KELLY. The comic songs were chiefly 1.1
REEVE, and were gay and spirited. The play
was much indebted to POPE, RAE, LoVEGROrg,
KNIGHT, MrS. DICKONS, and Mss KELLY.

,
The two brothers, acted by LoVEGROVE and
KNIGHT, are rather caricatures than representa-
tions of real life, the one being excessive in cow-
ardice,and the other in coxeombry. The piece was.
written by a Mr. BROWNE, who has, it seems,
long resided in Russia, and hence we may account
fontbe'resemblance it bears to many others which
probably did not reach his knowledge. The Rus-
sian costume in dress and scenery, we understand,
is perfectly correct. There was a very pretty,
though not new, Russian dance, between young
BYiu and Miss SMITH, which they executed so
well that it was encored, as were many of the
songs in the piece. The house was crowded, and
the decision of the audience warmly favourable.

His Majesty's ship Edinburgh, off D'Anzo,
October 5, 1813.
SIR—In obedience to your directions, I put to
sea and joined Captain Duncan,,eif the Imperi-.
eus',, and the ships named in the margin'; this
mirbini.;, off this place, where he had been watch-
ing a'convoy for some days, with the intention of
attaain,,r, thew the first favourable pzpoytunity.
,The necessary arraagements having been maele by
.that officer for the attack, I added the force of this
ship to it, and made the signal that those-arrange-
ments would be adhered to, and to prepare for
battle. The' place was detended by two batter
ries, mounting three heavy guns each on a mole;
a tower to the northward of this with one gun,
and a battery to the southward with two guns, to
covet the Mole. EVery thing being prepared at
half past
.one P. M. the ships .bore up-anti took
their stations as follows :—The Imperieuse and
'Resistance to the mole batteries ; the Swallow to
the Tower; the Eclair and Pylades to the battery
to the southward ; the Edinburgh
,supported the
last-named ships.
Shortly afterthe ships opened their; fire, which-
they did by signal together, the. storming party,-
tinder Litittenant Travers, of theJruperieuse, and
marines, umler -Captain Mitchell; landed in the

best -ord'er close under, the southern battery,
-trhich Lieutenant Travers carried instantly, on
J• which -the ene►ny flew in .all directions : Lieute-
nant M►►pleton having. taken possession of the
mole head, the convoy, consisting of twenty-nine
Nessels;Was'bropght out without any loss, twenty
of which are laden with timber for the arsenal at
Toulon, • ,

. , On leaving the place all-the works were blown
up, and most complet.ely-,..d•eAtroyed. I feel the
destruction • of the defences of this place to be of
consequence, as it was-a convenient port for ship
ping the very large quantity of timber the. enemy
now have on the„ adjaceht-coast. The captains,
. officers, and .ships companies deserve my warm
acknowledgment for their ocertions on this oe-
caspon. A few shot in the hulls and rigging _ot the
, ships is the only dainake done

October 8, 1915,

beg leave to acquaint you; that on the
4.th,inst. running,,along the coast to the island of.
Ponza, at _one P. M. I observed a conVasof nine-
teen 'vesS'l.-A • in the harbour of-Marinelo (about six
'mites' to the eastward of Civita Veenia) 'protect=
edJyy.two gun-boats, a fort of two lot* twerity,
four pounders, annd a strong fortifii castle and
toner, and it:appearing. practicable to cut them
out, as the wit-Wens fair-fo.rthat purpos'e,
nants Croke'. and. Lester, with ..Lieutemmts Why-
lock and Dayi!l; Of marines, gallantly yplnnteerA
to storm tfte fort on the land side with the whole
oPthe'lniitines-anil bonts 'crews„! Whilsf the 'ship
anchored ! close -before. it, :which service was
promptly performed ;,and. after a few broadsides,
had the'satis'faction of seeing the battery car-
! vied, and guns-spiked' by. our gallant Tarty on
shore. The enemy retreated,•and took the strong
position of the castle and tower oy!ertqoking the
harbour,
_where they kept up___:a constant fire of
musketry through without the possi-
bility of being dislodged ; although I weighed and
moved in, so that the whole fire of ',the shill was
directed against if._ Nothing could dalipp the. ar-,
dour of the party on' shore, who together with
Lieutery-LnCliesfer, in the boats, lost not a mo-
ment in hoarkin% aint cutting the cables of sixteen
vessels, under a Most galling fire, two of, which
were sunk in the entrance of the harbour, and
fourfeen'got one.; 1 have to. regret the loss of
twelve men killed and wounded, which is less tithn
inight have'been expected, as more than 500 regu-
lar troops arrived from Civita Vecchio; but were
kept in check in coming along, and forced to take
a circuitous route, by a well directed fire-from the
ship, which allowed sufficient time for all our
men to' embark.

It is now a pleasing duty to pay a just tribute
of praise to the very gallant and determined con-
duct of Mr Croker, first. lieuteirant, NI- hose zeal
on this and cveryother occasion merits my warm-
est commendation ; and be speak's in the highest.
terms of admiration of. the determined bravery of
Lieutenants Lester, %Vhiylock, . mid Ddvies, the
petty oftiCers,.-seamenA and royal mariaes under
his command..

The whole of this service:was most suCcesfully
accomplished in three hours, and fourteen vessels
deeply laden got clea'r off, which 1 iva3 obliged to
take in tow, as their sails had been all enbent, and
taken on shore to, prevent our getting them out.
I have the honour to be, &c.
