Dautti---Liii-r.—Aswe have already copionly
described the alterations and improvements which
have taken place in this Theatre, we have only
0 add that our private opinion, and that of
those who were invited to the opening on Mon 4.,
day, and to a participation in Mr.-FALISTfIOt4..•
hospitality, appeared to be fully confirmed
,by
the general sentiments of the numerous audience,
Which attended. last
_night. The Play was the-'
perhaps altogether the best production
of its 'departed Author. The performance •,
of &LISTON' in Captain Absolute been
so often seen as to render eo :comment -
necessary, bat' it may be properly observed,
that he never supported the part with
more spirit, and hardly appeared lesS jave.
than for many years back. Dowirosi's Sir %.
Anthony, had all his usual humour,-andliaters,
rendered Acres highly diverting. W.At.t.Acti:,•
was warmly saluted on his entrance in FaUdonc4
and he displayed - the. morbid• sensibility of'
the part with great success: We' have. heard-,
that the author intended to . represent 411 e
anxious delicacy and jealous ',pride of hie:. •
own temper in this character. it is certain,, r •
we' believe, that in the parts of- Joseph and,
Charles in The School for Scandal, he-intended 4n
pourtray.his brother in. the former and hitwielf
the Careless,- generous, and dissipated Citar•le,-- •
Miss L. livt,r.s. returned to 'this theatre iri.the' • •
part of Lydia Languish, and displayed evident
tuarks of improvement. A .new
I name is WA Liam,' was Sir Lucius O'Tr.igger.,:atiir:'-':.
heAcquitted himself, at -least, respectably. Mrs,
W. WEST was the Jtrlid, and the i
well adapted to her talents. Mrs. HARLOWE' hat
successfully adopted the line' of eideiiN Ladiesi:•
and 'her representation of. 'WS —Malaprop gay,. • •

trii4takes. Tha;comedy- was folloWed by a dra •
nmtic sketch, entitled Stella and Lentherlungs, •
or Star' and a Stroller, Which, aceording
to report, was, written by Mr. COLON for the
purpose of affording new scope - to the tatepta.

to London' Performers when they are to appear
.on provincial boards. Lraihcriungl, indignant
repaired, after having performed
rate characters, to hold up the train of .an infatrt,; ,
softened into consent by a Oft of lire
from the Manager. -Miss Ftsnett then appeared in
her own cliatacterottid, after a short prilindnary,
chat.ssith the Manager, assurned successively, its.,

she supported •witli.. extraordinary proofs of:
a due sense" of the respective - characters.--. 7 •
flatus:l7, in the Stroller, ludicrously supported
the dialogue.- The piece: itself Was as good-a,
vehicle for the intended exhibition as Was neceJ.....
sary, and. at least is a proof of the good-eature of- -
the author; who had publicly contrad,cted.. the
report that he would 'employ his pen on the.;
occasion: -Miss CLAtt A. F. IS. 11 tit ,as we
said; gave - strong proofs Of ....mental precos,'
city, but we think that she should: confine her :.
self n•-holly to parts Suited to her age. The
'piece altogether was not received very favonr-
ably. This sketch was follnive.d by a new ILI- -
let, entitled Cupid and' Fogy, or the Court
Love, which was splendidly. accompanied Leythe;

'lllaOrid Papers were received yesterday to the
nth ult. In these we have Ballasteros's ac-
count of the affair between himself and Riego,
'up to the flight of the General since made cap-
Aye. It is observed of the iEneid, that there is
but one reflection throughout the whole work, in
person of the author, and that only of four
kines. On the. contrary, Ballasteros's dispatch
3s made pp Of, reflections, and. the greater part

Trable of feeling or perceiving that he is , a
