'TRANSLATION.]

(i sTRE.....The documents lately published in the Moniteur
have made known to the whole world those sentiments of per-
fect devotion with which I am penetrated towards your Im-
perial and Iloyal Majesty, and at the same time my anxious
desire to become your adopted son. The publicity which
your Majesty has allowed to be given my letter, gives me
room 'to hope that you do not disapprove of these senti-
ments, and the wish I have formed, and this hope fills me
with joy.

" Allow me, therefore, Sire, td deposit in your bosom the
thoughts of a heart, Ido not hesitate to assert, worthy of be-
longing to you by the ties of adoption, that your Majesty
would be pleased to unite my destinies to those of a French
Princess of your own choice. You would thus give effect
to the most ardent of my wishes, and in such a union, be.
sides my own personal happiness, I should experience the con-
soling certainty that Europe would be convinced of my unal-
terable devotion to your Imperial and Royal Majesty's will,
and thatyou yourself deign to make some return for sentiments
so sincere.

,4 May I venture to add, Sire, that this union and the publi.
cation of my happiness which 1 would make to the whole of
Europe, if your Majesty permitted, might have a salutary effect
on the fate of the Two Spains, and would deprive mad and
furious people of a pretext to continue to deluge their country

With blood in the name of a Prince, the eldest of their ancPlt
dynasty, become, by a solemn treaty, by his own Choice andil
the most glorious of all adoptions, a French Prince, and the son
of your Imperial and Royal Majesty.
" I dare to hope, Sire, that wishes so ardent and a devotion
so perfectly absolute will move the magnanimous heart of your
Majesty, and that you will deign to join my felicity to that of
the numbers you have already rendered happy.
" Sire, I deposit in the bosom of your Imperial and 8091
Majesty the most ardent wishes for the prosperity of you?
rign, together with the sentiments of the most respectful and
absolute devotion towards your sacred person.—Sire, 1 remain
your Imperial and Royal Majesty'S most humble, faithful, toul
obedient servant, (Signed) "FE RDI NA ND.

tomore 'advantage in Cassio. PENLEY was re-
fnoVed from Rodrigo to Cassio, to make way for
striking the former. We did not perceive any

had relented, and that so good an actress
'as Mrs. GLovErt would have - been restored
to the Theatre, but as that is not the case, the
part Of Emilia was performed with due spirit by
Mrs. FAUCIT from the other house. The Theatre

audience.

The scene chiefly lies in Palermo, the Capital

events took place in the 13th Century.

- This Tragedy is the avowed production of
Mrs. HEAtAtiS, a lady..possessed of high poetical
talents, which have been 'manifested in various
'compositions of great-merit, but particularly in
;translations from the works of ancient Welsh
;Bards. Those translations, we understand, are
faithful versions, and are.given with such animas
‘% wed breathe such a spirit of freedom, as to
cPPE'Lar like the original effusions 'Of the old
a"l"rian Bards. The Tragedy of last night is
written with the same' vivid spirit. It abounds
they Poetical passages highly beautiful, yet
e 9 are perfectly consistent with 'the cha-
ractersl
r that deliver them, and never inter-
ere with the progress of the fable. The cite.
ta,ctors are well drawn and sufficiently varied.
j rocida admirably blendi the energy of the pa-
triot with the tenderness of the father. liairnond,
with equal merit, combines regard for hiscountry
ewithi filial duty, and the affection of a lover. 7-•
°;_tlfalba exhibits a striking portrait of that
lvY which even patriotism cannot subdue
a ,
ad is such a compound of good - and bad, as is
. _unfortunately too often found in our frail
!attire. Constance displays the mingled attach-
ment of Si
ster with devotion to her lover, and
RI" RI a very interesting character. Vittoria is a fe-
Wirlie Patriot, Whose softer passions are blended
4111 leselitment for the untimely death of a lover,
( a rooted feeling of detestation towards the
rs presso

share el skill to design these characters with such
Passions, and in our opinion they are
rsrplY creditable to the talents of the fair author.
