THE liE AT R Mirlas, The Child of Nature,

night at Cnveut Garden' Theatre, before ;a very
monerous aedience. In the second -of these
pieces Miss FooTE, the daughter of the Exetei'i
Manager, appeared hi the part of Amanthes,
which- she performed at this Theatre one night
last season. We were fully confirmed in the
favourable report., which we. then gave of her.
Tier person and manner are very interesting, and

.feeling: After the Drama, the.' Allegorical' Festi-

Peace, the Allied Sovereigns, and other Illustrious.

suspence, between Carter and Cowper, is at last
finally settled between the combatants. and their •
friends. It is fired that the battle shall take
place at Carlisle Races (sth October next) Air

PosirNo.—The.very moderate rate at whin
horses may be now maintained, together with
the great fall in the value of horses themsekes,
should reduce the price of posting throughout
every part of, the kingdom to ls. a mile; and
that ullsthe lines of posting which adopt it may be
known, they should advertise the different Inn 4
which furnish horses, &c. at that rate.

the firemen were directed to preserve a house at at
small distance, the roof of which was l<indled

in John-street, the roof 'of which was occupied by
