TIIE THEATRE:---The Foundling of the R)rest was
represented fast night at Covent Garden Theatre.
The part. of Eigeniti was performed by Miss MAR-
RIOT, who, about seven years a:,,ro, belonged. to
,that Theatre. 'She has since been chiefly engaged.
at Bath, where she has certainly not been inat-
tentive to the study of her profession, as she
last 'night manifeSted great improvement. Her
•person is somewhat increased; her voice is more
powerful, her deportment is easy and ,expressive,
and she supported the character throughout with
considerable ability, and .was 'deservedly much ap-
plauded.—Ak AzBoT, who three or four seasons
ago was engaged, at the Haymarket Theatre,

is neat, but small ; his 'performance was un-
affected,. and Ni-as marked by feeling.----Youlco,
on his first appearance for the season, in
the part of De Valmont, received' a very flattering
greeting. His performance. was very iinPressive.
EGERidN, who seems now to be. the Stock-tyrant
of this Theatr, ably represented the part'of Lon-
gueville, and F4tRLEY is well entitled to commenda=
tion for the compunctious energy .which he
played, in that of Bertrand. Miss „Booeni,- and
LI&TON and his Wife, 'also respectively received
a favourable notice, and the piece went off very
successfully. ,

An oper;;,vvhich has been very sticcessfully per-
formed in Dublin, is expected to be soon brouibt.

Arr: coATEs, thecelebrated'Amateur Actor; last
night performed the character.of Lothario, at the
Richmond Theatre. The fame of, this Gentleman,
though his name was not announced in the play-'
bills, had, spread so widely through all the neigh-
bourhood, that the Nobility and-Gentry thronged
to see the perfeirmance:' That they were highly
rewarded for the -trouble: and expense:cannot be
doubted, for though the play was a Tragedy,
there was an incessant roar of laughter during the
whole of Mr. COATES'S performance ; and when
Lolhario expired, the audience -were so perfectly
satisfied with .what they, had enjoyed, that they
would ndt suffer the last act to be rewesented.
Mr. COATES, however, after the dropping of the
curtain, 'recited a poetiCal dissertation upon
ilobbies, in which the encore was so loud. and
general, tint he recited it a second time, and the
ludicrous effect Was by no.means weakened by the
repetition. After all, as Mr. coAT.,Es was induced
to appear on this Occasion, in .order to serve a
person in embarrassed civumstances, the audi,
enee; from respect to his humanity, should not
have been so much entertained by the eXertipn of
hid, talents. The Duke of CLARENCE was present.

•
person (whose' name it stimuli be imprudent to
mention) whose condiict had given them no litele •
uneasiness, and had tended to the expo Sure of their
secret designs. It was agreed, that he .should lie
shot; and in loading a gun for that purpose, with
three --musket balls, it accidently went off, and
killed Sam.. Crabtree, one of the conspirators, who
made himself active in procuring, amthunitiou. ,
The marks of fire upon his person were occasion-

(Shouts of applause.)
. Senor .VILLANUEVA observed, that the flight of
the enemy Korn his lines, was of the .greatest im-
portance, and _for AVIll'.;11 a 7:e Dean' should be
solemnly sung in grateful acknowledgment. •
Senor ARGUELLES said; they were too far

The plaCe was already perfectly free from the be
siegers. •

Senor HAIFA:A, was of opinion, the Regency
should state to the Cortes the distinction whlch
should he conferred on the Battalion of the Con-

stitution, for
b being the first to occupy the enemy's
batteries. It was approved that the Regency
shoujd give orders for the soleinii. chaunting\mf
Deuin, and appoint the day, hour, and place,
for its .celehnttion, which should be duly conunu-
iaicated to the CorteS. •
Senor TORNERO, said, the Regency should issue
directions that, the same ceremonies which were
to be obsnwed in Cadiz, should take place gene-
throughout the nation', for the liberation of
.its capital, Madrid, as 'well as' for the raising .of
the siege of Cadiz.
The proposition of Senor 111EktA was not ap-
