ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.--A new burletta, in two
acts, entitled Delicate Attentions, from the pen of Mr.
Poole, was produced at this Theatre, and we are happy to
say, with perfect se :cess, The plot is as simple as can be
imagined. Mr. G agerly (Strickland) of the mature age
of fifty-five, has fallen in love with the fair daughter of his
landlady Mrs. Bustle (Madame Sala) realizing the pro-
verb, "no fools like old fools." Miss Bustle's affections
happen, however, to be placed on an exquisite tailor, named
Hobnil (Parry) ; Gingerly finds himself unequal to the
task of disclosing his passion to the young lady in person,
and in consequence adopts the mode of showing his attach-
ment by certain " delicate attentions," in the shape of pre.
sents of flowers, &c., all of which arc placed to the account
of Snip, his rival, who in the end gains the band of Miss
Bustle, to the dreadful annoyance of old Gingerly : he re-
tains, however, nerve enough to enable him to bespeak a
repetition of his delicate attentions. This smart trifle was
played admirably well ; the burden of it is laid on Strick-
land's shoulders, who in the character of Gingerly, exhibited
much of that rich and quiet humour for which he has been
justly celebrated for a considerable time past. The other
characters, though subordinate, were equally well sustained,
and the piece was announced for repetition amidst loud and
undivided applause.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1836.

Letters and papers from Madrid to the 17th insl
lave been received. Their contents are very interest

ing. The treason of General Ron'', is now placed
beyond a doubt. When the Deputy, CARDERO,
whom the Cortes sent to notify to him his removal
from the army appeared before him, RoDIL refused to
allow him to speak a single word—declined to touch
the Ministerial despatches—and swore violently that
he would order CARDERO to be shot if he dared to
tamper with the troops. The Con. Deputy appear-
ing to pay no regard to this ebullition of rage, RoDIL
ordered him to be led from the camp in custody of two
officers, telling him at his departure, that he would re-
tain the command till he had beaten GomEz, after
which he would return to Madrid at the head of his troops,
and settle all accounts with his enemies. CARDER() next
proceeded to General .ALix, who played over again the
part of RODIL. He told CARDERO that he would not
resign, and did not care a rush for the menaces of the
Cortes. If they desired to know his opinion of their
conduct, he wished them to be informed that they
would much better discharge their functions by sending
him rations, shoes, and money, than by troubling him
with their contradictory orders. On the 15th CAR-
DERO returned to the capital, and related to Minis-
ters all that had occurred to him. A Cabinet Council
was instantly held, after which the Cortes sat secretly
for several hours. The result was that the Gazette
of the following morning contained two Royal De-
crees, the first depriving RODIL of the command of
the army, and removing him from the office of Minis-
ter of War—the second revoking the Royal Decree of
the 16th of September, which had conferred a num-
ber of honours and privileges upon the Marquis of
RODIL. If these Decrees produce no effect, it is un-
derstood that Ministers will have recourse to a sentence
of outlawry. It is difficult to understand the real in-
tentions of RoDIL in thus driving affairs to extreme-
ties. If he seek only a pretext to go over to Don
CARLOS, as his past inactivity would lead many to
suppose, his being outlawed by the QUEEN'S Govern-
ment must utterly destroy his moral influence. As he
has done nothing to improve the discipline of his troops,
who were in the most wretched state of disorganization
when CORDOVA quitted them, he has no hold upon the
affections of the men, and therefore cannot hope to
compromise them in his treason. The utmost he can
hope to accomplish is to cause them to remain for a
few weeks in a state of total inaction. This has been
hitherto his policy. During the thirty days imme-
diately preceding the 12th inst.,lwhile GOMEZ was
carrying fire and sword through the richest cities of
Estremadura, RODIL contrived to keep his division
nineteen days confined to their quarters, without offer-
ing to move half a league against the enemy. Our
own opinion is that RODIL wished to adjust the ba-
lance between the QUEEN and Don CARLOS with so
much nicety as to render his own weight only neces-
sary to give a preponderance to either side. RODIL
like CORDOVA tried the stale trick of a divided alle-
giance, till he might learn which party would purchase
him at the highest price. In the midst of his nego-
ciations with Don CARLOS his treason was discovered
in the capital, and as the Pretender refused to stipu-
late expressly for a declaration in his favour, it is most
probable that the discarded Minister, if he escape
with life, will take shelter in that receptacle for all
traitors to the Constitutional cause—the court of the
Citizen King. RoDIL had fancied that Don CARLOS,
having suffered so much from his vigilance on a for-
mer occasion, would purchase his defection at any
price, but the Prince had learned not to fear him,
and besides was sensible how much his tried fol-
lowers would resent being superseded in his
favour by a traitor. RODIL was not ignorant
that Louis PHILIPPE was at the bottom of several
intrigues for placing DON CARLOS on the throne of
Spaiii. This added to his anxiety to come to terms
with the Pretender ; but, on the other hand, it cooled
the ardour with which the Pretender would have received
his first overtures. The General intrigued—waited—
and sought every means to amuse the Cortes, till matters
were decided upon between himself and the Pretender.
Suddenly a storm is raised against him—he is denounced
as a traitor—deprived of his command—and invoked to
answer for his conduct before the bar of his country.
What will be the final result of this affair is more than
we shall undertake to determine. There no longer exists
a doubt of the Commander-in-Chief 's treason, and, to
all appearance, ALAIX is deeply implicated in it.

The Cortes have acted with becoming dig y
throughout this affair. From the bold front assumed
by them we may conclude that they possess the phy-
sical force necessary to bring the refractory General
i
and his partisans to condign punishment. General
RIBEIRO, second in command to RODIL, has been
,
appointed to supersede him i
- and a considerable por-
