MR. EDITOR,

As you seem to be a friend tothe Performers, as
well as to the Managers, 'of ourTiletti+es, I doubt
not that you will favour me with a speedy insertion
of a few° words on-the subject of the Drury-lane
-Compant. •The destrodion of the rl'heatrtr was:a
source of
.great distress to Many, and the little hope
of a tiew one, was not much calculaied to console
them. for the calamity. They have been in a la-
mentable 'State of uncertainty for dome time, and
looked with the most melancholy forebodings on the
approach of the winter-season. Their spirits, how.-
ever, were nathrally revived when they found that
the LORD CHAMBERLAIN bad humanely taken their
case into his consideration,, and consented .to grant a
license in their favour, by' which they'Shoula be
able ID find refuge in the Lyceum. But, Sir, when
the Loan CHAMBERLAIN granted this license, it
was doubtless fort he whole. of the Drutyrlatte C9m•
pally ; and though considering the size of the Then- .
Are, .some retrenchments in the salaries of the Per- '
formvrs might be expeCted,'yet.he never, could sup-
pose that any of the Performers would be turned
adtift ib 'the world : yer, if lam rightly informed,
some Performers, have been' dismissed who have, long
been among the public favourites; and others, who
though, perhaps,' too insignificant for public notice,
are useful •in their. calling, and hive a right to be
ccalsidered as part csf the theatrical coMmunity to
whom the LORD CHAMBERLAIN granted the license.
I. hear with much concern, Sir, that powat.t.
and Mr. PALMER have been excluded from tile
Drury-lane Company who now perform at the Ly-
ceum. Surely, Sir, this must be 'a false report,
tbr Mrs. POWELL may fairly be ranked as the best
tragic ACttess, on the London Stage
.next to Mrs.
SintioNs, and she performs such characters in the
Comic Drama as that great Attress Would not at-
tempt. - Can it be Possible. then, Mr; Editor, that.
such an. AOress as Mrs. POWELL can be excluded
from a, Company whom the LORD CHAMBERLAIN
may be said to have taken tinder his protettion, and
whose person.as well as talents are so ornamental to
the Theatre ? The report must be erroneous, for the
Drury-line Managers must be too liberal, too jept,
too gratehil the LORD CHAMBERLAIN, and no
much alive to their own interest, to part with so use-
ful an Actress. As to Mr. PaLmva, be is an AEtOr
of the old school, and though tie
.has been so long on
the Stage, is in. the full possession Of his powers;
and the Managers.must find it their interest to retain
so' good a Comedian. But it is evident by the play- •
bills 'that• some. additions have been made ,to the
Drury-lane Company. If so, there is less reason
for cutting off' any of the old stook, to say-nothing
of the cruelty which would be,sbewn in disinissitig
any. body who shared it the calamitous destruCtkon
of the old Toeatre, I rely upon your humanity for
an early insertion of this' appeal to the justice of the
Managers, atter so liberal a concession on the part of
the LOUD CHAMBERLAIN. . ,

THE. LATE DUEL lIEVVEEN
?!fr. CANNING and Lord C.LA'LEREAGH.

The fcllotvin~ is
given as an accurate statement of the 'un.
► fortunate dillirznce which touk place between two dis.
tinguished Charaaers, who, however they may be asaat.led
by political adversaries, are both deservedly esteemed fur
their talents and priv.:te virtues. We cams t pledge out-
selves tor the authenticity of this account, as we believe
it to be entirely unauthorised.]

So long-since as the Easter recess„it was sub-'
misted by Mr. Caniing, and given as his opinion
in a meeting of the. Cabinet Council (from which
Lord Castlereagh was absent), that he considered' it
absolutely necessary that a change should take place
in the War and Colenial department. He assigned
powerful arguments in support of that opinion, and
suggested that. no one was so tit to be the successor
of Lord Castlereagh as the Marquis Wellesley. • .All
the Members orthe Cabinet then' present 'concurred
with Mr. Canning, who :was perhaps the miiy ad-
vocate on that occasion for the iipmediate diselosnie
of these a
sentimentsr to Lord. Castlereagh.: The
others, influenced by regard tci hiS Lordship's feel-
ings, and having; the recolledioti of the then recently
concluded inquiry into East Ind:a Patronage fresh
in their memory, agreed to postpone the'delivery of
their avowed sentiments until the encl.of the Parlia-
ppntary Session. This prop isition had Mr. Canniqg's
ut)qualified approbatiOn. That period arrived, and
Mr. Canning again urged the DAC! of Portland to
enforce the proposition submitted to the Cabinet.--
His Grace, still convinced that the necessity, had not
bien diminished, was at a loss to devise the. most
delicate and prudent means of conveying the senti-
ments of the Cabinet to Lord Castlereagh; but
after some days consumed in deliberation,- Lord
Camden was seledcd as the best calculated for the
•disclosure. At thi, iundure, however, Lord Castle-
reagh, and most of his Maiesty's Ministers, were so
busily occupied in the cons: ruetion and arrangement
of the Expedition to the Scheldt, that delay was
again deemed prudent ; and no communication was
made to Lord.Casilereagh until Mr. Canning, on
the 6th inst. tendered his resignation. On this oc-
casion the Duke of Portland contrived to communi-
cate- the original sentiments of Mr. Canning, with
the concurring opinion of :the Cabinet, to Lord
Castlereagh, who, after a short deliberation, wrote
to Mr.Caaning a letter of considerable, length, in
which he charges him with unfair and illiberal mo-
tives, accuses him of hypocrisy, demands the ac-
customed satistaetion, and names the place of
meeting.

To this note Mr. Canning. returned a laconic an.
suer., He laments that the information given to his
Lordship must have been derived-from a Very par-
tial source ; and that, had his motives been fairly in-
quired ,itito, it was itupo,siblo they could bear
the construction so unjustly put upon them. After
declining all further explanatiof., Mr. Canning
agrees to the meeting on Pulp:7 Heath.
