SOLESI QUIS DICE RE F-11.SUJI AUDEAT

LONDON,
SdITURDAY EVENING, JAN. 29, 1825.

The Paris Papers of Wednesday contain news
from Greece of a highly gratifying nature. They

not only announce another defeat of the Turco-
Egyptian fleet under Ina Aunt PACHA, but what
isof-still greater importance,they communicate the
intelligence, that owing to the energy and judicious
measures of the Greek Government the civil dis-
sensions which unhappily existed have been put
an end to, and the principal offenders have suf-
fered the punishment due to their crimes.

The accounts in these papers from Spain give
us reason to hope that the King at length sees
the wisdom of adopting a different line of conduct
than that he has pursued since his restoration to
absolute power. Ferdinand, it would seem,
has lately modified his proscriptive decrees, and
Passed others which have already ameliorated
the internal administration of his kingdom, and
revived the confidence of the nation, of which
a strong proof is afforded in the increased value
of Public Securities at Madrid.

The'following extracts relate to the affairs of
Spain, and in another column we have given those
articles which recount the Naval successes of
the Greeks, and the restoration of internal tran-
quillity in the Morea

( From the Etoile dated Thursday.)
PARIS, JAN. 26.
We have the following account from a correspondent, dated
Madrid, Jan. 17 :
" For some time past a real amelioration is observed in the
course of things in Spain. In a country where every thing has
been so shaken by several revolutions, which have so rapidly
succeeded each other, too much praise cannot be given to the
discernment of the Sovereign, and to the strength of mind by
which, disengaging himself from the fetters which parties had
imposed on the exercise of his authority, he knows how to force
the chiefs of these parties to take another course, to profess
Moderate sentiments, and to contribute to the grand object of
the general welfare. After having stopped the movement of
the re-action, and modified the decrees which inspired the
greatest uneasiness, the King has turned his thoughts towards
modifying the internal administaation of his kingdom, and re-
establishing the finances. The re-organization of . the Council
of Ministers is an efficacious guarantee of order, regularity,
and better administration.
-4 An exeellent effect has been produced by restoring to favour
.Several Grandees of Spain, one of whom, Count Punson Rostro,
had, during the popular commotions, several times passed the
night, lying down across the door of the King's apartment.
" The executions have ceased. The most dangerous laws,
Passed during the preceding period,have been revoked or modified,
or remain without effect, and are no longer carried into execution.
The most perfect tranquillity prevails in the provinces and
Madrid; a calm and moderate language has succeeded in the
public acts to the tone of some violent proclamations; Spain
receives from different quarters at the same time proposals for
a loan, and the public fiends, the image and the index of the
confidence of the elation, have risen in a few days, some from
3
23 to 29, others from to 14 and 15. If this state of things
and this system are supported, as there is every reason to hope,
the glorious work of the restoration of the Spanish monarchy
'will be terminated."
?MADRID, JAN. 13.
General Cruz, F.x-Minister of War, has been restored to
liberty on his parole, that he might make researches, collect
proofs, and by these means be enabled to confound his enemies,
who have not only deprived him of a part of his fortune, but
left him to languish for a long period in a dungeon, in the most
cruel agonies, between life and death. It is to be wished that
General Cruz would rest satisfied with ha-ring escaped the dan-
gers which threatened him, and with being at perfect liberty;
but he seems to be inclined to see his case carried, as soon as
possible, before a competent Council of War, where, it is said,
he will make some important disclosures.

THE THEATRE.

Dnuny-LANE.—The same scene of riot and-
confusion took place last night as on Monday

evening. The bills of the Theatre, and advertise-
ments in the public prints, announced the per-
formance of Othello by Mr. KEAN. There was
by no means so great a crowd, or so vehement a

struggle for admission, as on the former night,
but, as soon as the doors were opened, the people
poured in, chiefly to the Pit, and as soon as they
were settled in their places the uproar began.—

. .
On the rising of the curtain the tumult increased,

and broke forth with redoubled fury as soon as
Mr. KEAN appeared. Though the outrage some-
what abated on his leaving the stage, it was al-
ways renewed with equal vigour on his return.
Occasionally a very few words were heard from the
other characters, but hardly any while he remained
in sight. During the representation, which with

scarcely any exceptions was in dumb-sheto, many
brief placards were thrown into the Pit from se-
veral parts of the Theatre. On some were—
" KEIN for ever,"—" explain,"—
" Cheers for The Chronicle,"—" Groans for The
Times,"—written in very large letters, upon slips

of paper. The Pit was full, and very few
women appeared in it. None in the dress-
boxes. The cheerings for -KEAN in the Pit
were generally accompanied by wavings of hats,
but with very few handkerchiefs. That the
majority in the Theatre were in favour of KERN

was evident, but the opposite party were too

.. . _
resolute to ,be overpowered, and his friend's

deemed them too strong for hostile encoon-

ter. Previous to the rising of the curtain Mr.
ELLISTON came forward, and by the most'• cour-
teous action," attempted to obtain a hearing,

but in vain, and after using every attitude of
entreaty, without any hopes of attention, he re-
tired, and the play commenced. It proceeded,
as we have said, amidst uproar and " confusion
worse confounded," till the final dropping of the
curtain. Many persons, apparently conceiving
that on the close of the Play no further tu-
mult would take place, had therefore left the
Theatre. At this period Mr. ELLISTON again came

forward, and with evident emotion addressed the
audience in the following terms, interrupted in
its progress, however, in the manner stated :
" Ladies and Gentlemen—You honour me by your silence. I
entreat you to attend to me for a few moments; and if any
word 'fall from me which may appear improper, I trust you
will attribute it to the agitation under which I labour:—(Ap-
plause.)—l stand before you as the servant of the public; I
come forward as a peacemaker, and I hope what I shall say
will not lower Mr: Kean or myself in your estimation. The
engagement which Mr. Kean is now endeavouring to fulfil
was made in July last. At that time it was not expected that
the question which now agitates the public mind would have
undergone any discussion. The engagement was for a period
of twenty nights, at 501. a night, to commence on the 16th
of January, and end on the 16th of March.—(Here there was
.some disapprobation.) The present moment is one of . too
much interest to me to suffer me to quibble or to go nigh a
falsehood. I give you my word as a man—as the manager of this
theatre—and, as I trust you have • always found me, as an
honourable gentleman—(loud laughter)---Ithat I have stated
nothing but the truth. I could hot break this engagement."
(" And why not ?" cried some peston from a box in the dress
circle.) " Why not ? Because Mr. Kean was advertised to
appear before you. Could I, Ladies and Gentlemen, withdraw
Mr. Kean's name under these circumstances? (Mingledapplause
and disapprobation.) If I had done so, I should have made a
party againstMr.Kean, and that I never will do. I wrote to Mr.
Kean's solicitor and to his friends, and I learned from them that
the cause would not be tried. I also wrote to Mr. Kean during
his progress through the provincial towns, to know whether he
would fulfil his engagement, and he answered that he would. I
can assure you, Ladies and Gentlemen, that the best feelings
have always subsisted between Mr. Kean and myself. I have
assisted him, and he has assisted me. So anxious was I that he
should enjoy the full tide of popularity which your patronage
has procured him, that I have had a play written for the sole
purpose of displaying his peculiar talents.—(Applause.)—One
word more, and I have done. I can assure you, Ladies and
Gentlemen, that I have not endeavoured, directly or indirectly,
by any influence or power I may possess, to procure your judg-
ment in favour of Mr. Kean. I 'have literally suspended the
free list—the public press excepted; and I defy any man to
say that I have introduced persons into the house for the pur-
pose of influencing your decision.—(Applause.)—Ladies and
Gentlemen, Mr. Kean is in the house, and if you will have the
condescension to hear him, I hope every thing may yet be ami-
cably arranged." _ _ .

Altogether, Mr.•ELLTsTON was heard with at-

tention, and retired with applause. After a few
moments had elapsed he returned leading Mr.
KEAN by the hand, and shaking it with cordiality.
Some bustle prevailed at first, but at length silence
ensued, and Mr. KEAN delivered himself nearly
as follows :

" Ladies anti Gentlemen—Jr you expect from me a vindica-
tion of my own private conduct, I am certainly unable to satisfy
you.—(Applause and disapprobation)— I stand before you as the
representative of Shakspeare's.heroes.—( Much contention be-
tween the parties favouring and disapproving of Mr.Kean.)—The
errors I have committed have been scanned before a public tribu-
nal; and—(here the uproar was so great that we could not collect
the termination of the sentence)—On the occasion, Ladies and
Gentlemen, to which I have alluded, I have withheld circum-
stances from delicacy. (Much laughter, applause, and hisses.)
If, Ladies and Gentlemen, I have withheld circumstances from
motives of delicacy (laughter), it was from regard to the feel-
ings of others—not of myself. (Clamours of applause, mingled
with hisses.) It appears at this moment that I am a profess
sional victim. (Laughter.) If this is the work of a hostile
press, I shall endeavour with firmness to withstand it ; but if
it proceeds from your verdict and decision, I will at once bow
to it, and shall retire with deep regret, and with a grateful
sense of all the favours which your patronage has hitherto con-
ferred on me."
Mr. KEAN'S speech was received with mingled
censure and applause, but the latter seemed to
be predominant. Thus ended the second at-
tempt of M. KEAN to recover his professional
station. Whether his speech will soften the feel-
ings of the Public it is difficult to say. For our
own part we cannot but think that Mr. K. did not
reflect on the impression which the recent trial,
and the exposure of his letters, must have made
on the public, otherwise he would have foreseen
the probability that he would have to encounter
so decided and so emphatic an expression of ge-
neral displeasure. It would have been wise
in the first instance, if he had endeavoured
to prevent the disgusting transactions in which
he had been engaged from coming into a Court of
Justice. In the next, whatever were his pecu-
niary engagements with Mr. ELLISTON, and
however' antecedent to the expectation of a legal
trial, - it would have been equally wise if he had
entered into a compromise with Mr. ELLISTON
to delay his appearance before the London pub-
lic, till the general sentiment of reprobation
had cooled, and censure given way to clemency,
and a due consideration for human frailty. Nor do
wpprove of Mr. KEArr's attempt in his speech
to discriminate bet Ween the censure of the Public
Press and the voice of the Public at large. Some
of the Public Prints have indeed manifested a se-
vere animadversion on his conduct, but others
have been as determinately in his favour, and. it
is not probable that the censures of the
former would hage
beets of so strung a nu•

ture, if he had not ventured, to appear so soon
after the recital of transactions of so revolting
nature,and which,under such circumstances as were
developed, if the public, had passed over with in-
difference, they would have brought discredit on
the country as 'being inhabited by a people in-
sensible of virtue, and regardless of decency.
