THE THEArIiE•

Miss STANLEY made her seCoad appeflience
night; in the character of Juliet. There Was no 4
thing in her performance that tequires any addi»
tional comment on our part. Thete was
what less of the infantile manner which we no.
ticed, and she seemed toilet more from theimpulse
of her own. feelings. As she iv youtt and ardent,
she may. With clue attention, become a tieful ad-
dition to the company.
After the Tragedy, a new Farce was represent-
ed, under the title of Who's to have her ? The tabll
was full as iniprobable is any production of the
kind, even in these times of dramatic extrava-
gance. There werea guarding, s loser, and a couple
of intriguing servants, but there was nothing no
vel, and little humorous, 'in their operationl•
The pieee was essentially indebted to DowToN,
MUNDEN,.:KNIGUT, TYNE, and Mrs. MouNtsalf.
The. music,, by Itzsvr., was pretty, and that is all
that can be said. The audience were put into
such good humour by the acting, that they Lett
nuktly suffered the piece to be announced for
rc-
petitiva this evening.
The audience last night, at Covent Garden
Theatre, called for God save the King ! which was
performed by the orchestra ; but the Song also
was demanded, and several of the singers Caine
unlit the stage in a 'hnrry, adjusting their (treks as
they entered. Many Gentlemen in the boxes had
orange coloured watch rihands, with Orange
boven on them in large ',Lick letters.

After the Feurnonght,,witich has arrived at Piy.
mouth; had put to sea from Passages on the 10th,
a very heavy cannonade was heard from the direct
tion of Bayonne.
The Rocket Brigade, under the command of
Captain HENRY BOWYER LANE, lately embarked. at
Woolwich, to join Lord WELLINGTON) anti since
then destined fur Germany, is now ordered to proe
ceed to the British Army in France.

MINISTER AT WAR..

" Monseigneur Senators,—That memorable.
Sitting is still pre eat to you, in which, at once
fulfilling the align-a dudes of Regent, Wife, Mo-
ther, an' a Freniii woman, the Empress came to
point out to you the necessities of France. The
sentitnents which she excited in this halt weie ra-•
pidly communicated to all parts of the Empire,
and still all heart's..
were Frenchmen acknowledged, that
in the actual situation of civilized Europe, the na,..
tiot.• could not hope. to preServoits'ranki Malina;

ritory, but' by pro Portioning its efftirts to. conquer,

creasing the power of its armies the extent of its
resources, above the poWer, above the resources,

by refusing to give credit to it.
" You were; then.stillignorant how time •Saxons-
bad in the midst of battle deserted ranks in
our armies, to occupy those which had been pre-
viously rewired for. them in the armies of our
enemies ; how the artillery, furnished, provided,
from our arsenals, had been turned against our
battalions„ suddenly assailed by batteries intended
to protect. them.
" 'lhose events, of which no examples are found
but in the ancient history of the barbarous Kings
of Asia—those events,,

with circumstances which, a few weeks before
could, not have presented themselves to your
thoughts. However, gentlemen, our ellemies
.themselyes confess it, on considering their de-
feats and 'their losses, the French armies have
supported their ancient and.imperishable renown,
• notwithstanding all those: events. But, by tie
,force of circumstancesglorioth victories have be-
critnesteril ; reiterated triumphs insufficient.; and
the nnforeseen and deplorable event of the bridge
at Leipsic, has added to the advantages of ow
enemy—ever happy, for once, to obtain a triumph
without a battle, trorbies without danger, and
success without glory.
" Upon this fresh misfortune, each of you,
gentlenet2t. lias,Ecen a universal sentiment of -de-
votion, of generosity, manifest itself in ail parts.

'French ht irts Were filled with indignation at the
ought alonc „conceived by t he enemy, of triiiinpli-

banks the Seine, oil the dalibini,
