THE THEATRES.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The Barber of Se-
ville introduced Miss PATON, on Saturday. laSt, in
the part of Rosina, which afforded a new proof
of her merit as an -Actress-, as it is very different
from the part of Susanna, which she so .success-
fully performed, in The Marriage of Figaro. It
is indeed surprising that'one so new to the Stage
should be able to act with .lo much ease arid
spirit. She was warmly applauded for the abi-
lity which she displayed throughout her per-
formance, • and the humour with which she gave
the song " If an olil man would be woo'd,".re-
ceived a universal encore. JONES, in the. Count,
and-Lis-ros, in Figaro, also highly gratified a
very ❑umerous audience.

Ex°Ltsx OPERA liousE.—The new Opera of
Gil Blas has been so judiciously curtailed, and
is now in such a compact shape, that it proceeds
with increased effect, and passes off without a
dissentient voice. MISS PoVEY, as she well de-
served, had an encore, and the duet between her
and BROADHURST was also encored. The audi-
ence on Saturday, were numerous and liberal in
applause. WIOO2IaIMMAIIIIIIP

The Earl of Lavr4roor. will shortly lead to the altar Miss
CHESTER, the sister of Sir ROBERT CHESTER, Master of
the Ceremonies. Misi Chester was the intimate friend of the
late Countess of Liv:rpool, whose sufferings, during her long
and painful illness, she strove to alleviate. The Countess, it is
said, contemplating a fatal termination to her illness, hnd know-
ing her Lord's attachment to retired and domestic habits, re-
commended to him her friend, a:. one who, in the event of a
second union, was most capable of affording him domestic feli-
city. A twelvemonth has elapsed since her Ladyship's de-
cease. The matriag,e was appointed to take place a few days
ago; but it is supposed to have been postponed, in consequence
of the sudden death of the Noble Earl's late colleague.—( Sun-
day Paper.)

BLENHEIM.—The Anniversary of the Battle
of Blenheim was celebrated on Tuesday last by his Grace the
Duke of MARLBOROUGH, in his princely mansion, with a
taste and magnificence worthy the memorable occasion. A
table of fifty covers was 'placed in the centre of the spacious
library; which had been appropriately decorated with laurels in
honour of the day. At five o'clock the neighbouring Nobility
and Gentry sat down to a splendid and elegant repair.. Among
the company present were —Lord and Lady Abingdon and
Lord Norreys, Lord and Lady Edward Somerset, Lady
Stradbrook, and the Hon. Mr. Rous, Lord and Lady Churchill
and the Hon. Mr. Spencer, Lord Henry Spencer Churchill, .Mr.
and Lady Caroline Hamilton, the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Berrie,
Sir Henry, Mr. and Mrs. Dashwood, Sir Henry and Lady Pey-
ton, Lady Gardiner and Miss Newcome Lady and Miss Cottrell,

the Hon. and Rev. Mr. Knollys, Sir Edward West, Rev Dr.

Preedy, kasahal Hacker, Kerby, Churchill, Gorden, Holland,
&c.---The Woodstock Band, and the Band attached to Lord
Churchill's regiment of Yeomanry Cavalry, played .several
loyal and patriotic airs during the entertainment.. In the
evening the company visited the new pleasure grounds, which
have been so tastefully formed by• the present Duke on the
precipitous border of the magnificent -lake, while groups of
well dressed persons, attracted by the music, were seen on
the opposite bank, and the weather being particularly propi-
tious,. n?thing could possibly surpass the beauty and magnifi-
cence. of the scene.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday afternoon
an Inquest was taken at the sign of the Jelly Anglers, on the
borders of the Lea River, near Upper Clapton, before
UNWIN, Esq. the Coroner for the County cf Middlesex, on
the body of John Blackman, late a gaidener in the service of
Robert Austin, Esq. found drowned in the said River. The
deceased had been missing nearly a fortnight, and having
been highly respected by all who knew him, much anxiety
prevailed us to his late. James Reason, a lighterman,
discovered the body on Tuesday morning floating on the
River, and Anne Cooke, a servant in the Sarniiy of Ro-
bert Austin, Esq. recognized the body. All the witnesses ,
coincided in the opinion that the deceased had laboured for
some months under a depression of spirits, and had been fre-
quently heard to say, he was a lost man. The Coroner said,
that.no doubt existed but that the deceased came by his death
from his own act, while in a state of temporary derangement.
'The Jury without retiring returned their verdict accordingly.

' [From the National Intelligencer of July 20.]
WASHINGTON, JULY 15.—The following 13 a copy and
translation of the decision of his Imperial Majesty the EXPE-
ROIt of all the RUSSIAS, upon the question submitted to him
by the Governments of the United States and Great Britain,
by virtue of the Convention of the 20th October, 18111, of the
true intent and meaning of that part of the first article of the
Treaty of Ghent

(TRANSLATION.)
" The Emperor is of opinion that the United States of
America arc entitled to a just indemnification for all the
private property carried away by the British forces, and as
the question regards slaves, more especially for all such
slaves as were carried away by the British forces from the
places and territories of which the restitution was stipulated by
the treaty, in quitting the said places and territories. That the
United States are entitled to consider as having been so carried
away all such slaves as may have been transported from the
above mentioned territories on board of British vessels within
the waters of the said territories, and who for this reason have not
been restored. But if there should be any Amerimn slaves, who
were carried away from territories,of which the a: tic les of the treaty
of Ghent has not stipulated the restitution to the United States,
the States are not to claim an indemnification for the said
slaves. It will be observed that this is merely the decision of
his Imperial Majesty upon the question submitted to him."
BOUNDARY LINE.—The Montreal Herald, of the lOth
instant, states, that the long dispute, r.lative to the Boundary
Line in the vicinity of Lake Chaplain, has been at length de-
cided, and that Rouse's Point will come within the British
limits.
