To which Address her Royal Highness Ivas
pleased to return the folldtving most gracious an-
swer,:---
I receive. with the greatest satisfaction the eon-
gratulations of the City of London. No branch
of the House of. Brunswick can ever forget to
whose exertions chiefly it owes the !Throne of
these Realms, and I have now peculiar reasons
to know the value of the Constitution 'which
those exertions porehawd, because I:have found
it a sure protection when I had no other defence.
" The extraordinary situation in Which I was
placed, compelled me to come forward in behalf
of my,lionoor and my life. I :have been reward;
ed not only by the universal acknowledgment of
my innocence, but by testimonies of affeetion from
a loyal and high spirited i"eoPle, whiCh 1 shall
gratefully remember as long as I live. •J
At the present moment I am rather disposed
to dwell upon this pleasing circumstance than up-
on any recollection of a less agreeable kind.
"The trials, however, which I have AllldergOne
Win, I am confident, produce , one good effect,
they NM confirm in toy Daughter's mind that at-
tachment to the Constitution •.vhich she already
cherishes, and impress her more and more with the
conviction, that as no station can be secure. ex-
cept irk a free country, it is both the interest and
the most" sacred duty of an English Monarch to
watch over the liberties of the people."'
The Recorder gave the Address to the. Lord
• Mayor : his Lordship presented it, to the.rrin•
cess, and she handed it to her Vice-Chamberlain.
Her Royal Highness read her answer in a•very
feeling and dignified manner.

13troat‘Atur.2 7,::ltcset with plots., In the course
of the last month, a plot to ex-cite insurrection
was discovered at Genoa, and punished by the
execntion of the five principal conspirators. It'
will he remembered, that, not 1011!.;to t viausly, tit'.
iruilar plot was detected at Florence.
A Paris paper of the 24. th of 'Alarch contains the
following article:—" In Genoa, on the 12til of
March, 15 persons, accused of originating or par-
ticipating in a conspiracy to excite an iniurrec-.
tion.at Genoa, to produce a Change of Govern-
ment, were. brought before a Special COmmis-
sion. Five Qf them, viz. Pietro:Villa, Domenico
Mussardo, Alberto Sommariva, Bartolomeo Mus-
solini, and Giovanni Batastu Bottinov were con..
demned to death ; the .-iTt!ters were acquitted.--,.
The sentence was carried' into execution at half-
past eight in the morning of the 13th, in the

1111 D THEATRE.
Lord OssoisTost moved the Order of the Day
for the second reading of the Third
Luis Lordship 'spoke at some length, but in so low
a tone, that it was not possible to, hear hini front'.
the-gallery.
Wityrr.erNo said, that this was the third
time his Noble Friend had brought tie' subject
under the coiedderation of the House, lie en-
tirely,ditfered with him in the position he had laid
down in the course of his speech,, namely, that
Drury-Lane being now rebuilt,,. the ,only foenda
tion for opposition to a Third Theatre. Nras com-
pletely removed. Ile would put it to the recol-
lection of the Noble Lord whether it was not in
the hope that Drury-Lane woulif never be rebuilt,
that appheution bad been Made to build it Third
Theatre ? The application to this effect, had been
made in the first instance. by the CrOMY, arid after
investigation before the Privy Council, it was de-,
eided, that no authority could be given for 'the
erection' of such a theatre. This heing a matter
connected with the prerogative at the Crown, and
the Crown 'having decided against it, the parties:
were driven to the necessity of coming with their
application to that House. It was :this tteit'fitst
induced hint to look into the affairs of Drtal-laue,
Which were then in a very perplexed state.. After
the diiliaulties attendant upon the rebuildnr cat
had been got over, he must say it would be rather
hard if another theatre were now allowed to be
built, which may put the extinguisher upon Dru-
ry-lane. So little did the advocates for a thhd
theatre expect the rebuilding of it, that they bad
it even:in cOntehiplation to purchase the site up,,
on which the old theatre stood. it a tiiird.theutre
were nowidlowetlio be built, the conse4uence must
be that the whole three of thetn wool!! he ruined
He was finite disinterested upon the subject: The,
metropolis could not gain any Laing by tin ad-
ditional. Theatre. The Noble Lord seem..d to
say that there were no more than two places
for theetrical.rejtresentation. time llotese may per-
}taps be surprised to hear, that cut that very ntgitt
there were not less than seven places open l'or
that purpose, in fear of which regular drautas
were perforated. Any person who desired it,. may
that night see Douglas Inoue, ltichard:the Third
in another, the honey Moon in another, Mid
, very welt performed too, besides a new Comedy at
Covent;Garden.. It;was said as 'au argument for
this 'third Theatre, that the population' of the MC..
trOpOUS was considerably •inereased ; but the
truth was, that -the houses already. in 'existence
were -seldom or never'full.- , The drama, it seems,
was in a state of titter degradathin, arising from
it want of ability in the performers ; but the 'new
.Theatre was to 'be supplied with it inottt excellent
compa.ey for the performanee both of
,Tragedy
and Comedy. lie could not - very well perceive ,
front VSlienee this excellent company was. to be
procured; but lie could not consent to hear the
performers of the other two Theatres called a du-
graded class. They were persims ire e whom-evert
Garrick biittself Would have been proud to se-
lect tt company. -The Noble Lord said that
tats degradation arose froet the,. monopoly
bat this nemopoly Nees trot now., near sol strict
:as in the time of the great performer whom
he had just mentioned. The monopoly was
relaXing more and more every tht3r.. conse-
quenee of the monopoly, it was aaittOtere was no
school for actors, At all times the country,
Theatres • wore the places in whirlt good actors
were formed. There was now within the islaud
not leszethan one hundred and sevent‘o-four pieces
for draireticatnusetnent, besides pat7t,ies who
travelled about the provincial towns.. There were
regular theatres in many pla es in Which the.dranitt
ivas',cendueted in such a wity. as to do meat ere?
(lit both to the drama alOl the managers., With
regard"tO the patents,- it was stated that no p‘e-
son wotild presume to say that Perliament May not
interfere for the building of ki third Theatre., Hts.

and :tr: Brabant it Druty-lane. The eight was
remarkably fine and dry ; there Was no impediment
to interfere with snele as were disposed for the
pi ~•astees of the 4:met, and yet the Opera was
vet y thinly act ended Covent-garden was also
badly attended ; Drury-lane • was Somewhat bet-
ter ; :en at neither of" the three houses were the
rei....ipts state en: to meet the expenses of the
pitoo. These Gentlemen with tN!ir third theatre
wer,... first goieg into the City, but-they were warn-
ed ot, and told they must not come there. Their
atuseeion was then directed towards the neigh- I
bole hood of Drury-lane. The spot was that which
from ciecmnstances seemed most preferred by the
play-goingpart of the population, and by those
Witt, aetierienve in theatrical affairs, and
accordingly it was found there was a
tion of them, as there was the Suns Pared, the
Lyceum, Covent-garden Theatre, Drury-June The-
atre, and Little.Drury-lene Theatre, as the Olym-
pic Pavilion hail been just named. By building
their theatre here, these Gentlemen Might have
ss the advantage of sometimes benefiting by the
overflow of a neighbouring place of amusement,
as occasionally happened to the existing theatres.
When they were excluded the City, these Gentle-
ITICD had bees at a loss where to go. Lie had heard
they thought of raising it in the neighbourhood of
Mary-le-bonne ; he had then heard the middle of
Leicester-square named ; but he imagined that
the, itthabitantS would pot approve of its being
• there; and he had also .heard that it was to he
built oti the site of Some 'market; which was to be
pulled down to make way for it. If, however, they
took it to Marrle-boune, they would be opposed ,
by the Pantheon, which was about to open again;
it they went Tottenham-court-road Way, there
was the itegeuey Theatre aganst them ; and it
they writ towards the East, they wroth! be met by
the Royalty Theatre; so he knew, nut where they
could take'it to he right. These Gentlemen quar-
relled much with the dimensions of Drury-lane
Theatre. lie would not give his a -en opinion of
that theatre, but he had heard it said (very much
to the credit of the able architect, Mr. B. Wyatt),
that it waS so constructed that every • one could
see arc 11,' and he had seen it stated, in a Journal
by tm means favourable to Drurv-lane Theatre,
'' the, the lowest whisper could be heard in the
iembtest part of the house." If then the !public
could bath see and hear well ;at this theatre, what
could be desired inure ?, lie wished to know what
was to he done, if these Gentlemen thought it ne-
cessary her.-titer to alter their plat., avid build a
theatre larger thati that which they. at present
proposed to erect, wholly giving up the idea of
making-it that snug little thing which was at pre-
Sent contemplated. This might be thought tie-
cessary to please the fiublic, if. they reasoned from •,
factS. When the Covent-garden Company per-
funned at the Little Theatre, in the Haymarket, '
Siddons, and the first tragedians of the
. day, it was found -that here every muscle might
be distinctly marked, where alt the emotions of
'the soul could be traced,' and the -lineaments of
the countenance elearly,seen by every one ; they.
• bad an audience of about thirty persons to look.at
`them; anti when they crossed over to the Opera
the theatre was quite iilka, so as' to exceed
all, their calculations.. Mitch was said against Spec 7
tacle, but when these Gentlemen had got up. their
theatre. they weeltl it.necessavy to look for the in-
-terest Of their capitel, without which their theatre
could not live, and this might make them feel that
Spectacle-was necessary at a Playhouse. lie knew
not why such great objections were.made to Spec-
tack, since quadrupeds were• now out of the
quiet-
tien, for these were discharged and gone.; but tie
did •not see why quadrupeds should be so much
