DISTURBANCLS in the THEATRE of .LISLE.

• We have often Mentioned that though the great
mass of the French People and the strength of the
Army- were decidedly faVourable to the ReStored
Family, yet there still existed in France a party of
those restless Military Spirits,: whose hopes of ra-
pid promotion being destroyed by the downfall of
the Tyrant, woo were reckless what they did " to
spite
.the World." An example of the turbulence
and effrontery of a few of these Bravoes, we are
sorry to fir l reco?-led in the following extract of a
private letter from Lisle : '

" Lrst.E, JAN. 2.--4 was last week witness to
a disgraceful scene at this Theatre. A loyal song
in praise of Louts XVIII. was partially encored,
but some Officers in the side-boxes would not
permit it to be repeated. A great tumult ensued,
and much personal altercation. The consequence
was, that four duels were fought next morning,
and with such fatal effect, that three of the Offi-
cers, and, as I an informed, two Burghers, hare
been killed.

" The general disposition of the population in
this quarter is by no means so good as it is fur-
ther up the country, where every thing is. quiet,
and all hearts satisfied."

" So niourn'd the Dame of Ephesus ber love,
" And thus the Soldier, arni'd %,--ith resolution,
" Told his soft tale, and was a thriving wooer."

, THE THEATRE.—In consequence of Mr. KEAN'S
indisposition, Mr ELLISTON, at a short notice,
assumed the part of aracbeth last night at Drury-
Lane Theatre. A Morning Paper- says errone-
ously, that it was his first appearance in that part;
but though he has several times performed it be-
ftire a London audience; yet as he has not lat.ely
appeared in it, and as it is so arduous in itself, it
would be harsh to enter into a critical examina-
tion .of, wilat was the effect of a sudden and un-
expected call upon his powers. Besides, his per-
formance came so soon after the masterly exhibi-
tion of this character by Mr. KEMBLE, at the
other theatre, that this :circumstance constitutes
an addititional claim to indulgence. It is suffi-
cient to say, that Mr. ELLISTON gave a judicious
outline of the part, that he supported the detail
in general with feeling, and sonic passages with
effect, and-though he sometitnes.displayed a want
of correctness in the text, he altogether acquitted
himself so well as to obtain a considerable share
of applause. The part of Macduff was supported
in a very respectable manner by Mr. RAE, parti-
cularly in the scene where he receives the dreadful
tidings of the destruction of his family.
A popular Actor of Drury-lane Theatre was
recently fined in the miitigated penalty of 701. for
refusing a character assigned to him.

The Morning Chronicle seems to have a. fatality
of falsehood hoVering over it, in little things as
well as great. We stated that CHARLES KEMBLE,
strangely eixeluded from the London stage, though
the very.best general actor of the day, is engaged
for a few nights at Manchester. The unlucky
Chronicle states that Mrs. KEMBLR accompanies
him, though, in truth, she is in the vicinity of
London, daily expecting the entre of an infantile
Performer on the stage of life.
On Saturday evening, Mr. KEMBLE made his
first appearance; at the Theatre Royal, Crow-
, street, in the character of Macbeth; and yesterday
evening he appeared again in that of Rio:ard the
Third. The veteran Actor was greeted, on the
first occasion, by a warmth of appianse, obviously
the result of feeling, •stich as we. have never seen.
expressed towards any performer on the stage.
Ms'. KEMBLE felt the sincerity of the tribute to
his great talents, with ;ha: emotion and gratitude
Which such a reception was calculated to excite.
He went through the representation of Macbeth
with a spirit and animation almost beyond his
usual cflort. Last night his Richard brought a
-crowded house. He Astaincd the part with all
the ability that superior discernment and judg-
ment could throw into tit, personation of it ; and
he received the praise due to such
.splendid gxcr-
tions. The performance of these characters has
been so frequently a subject of criticism, that it
is kannecessary to accompany the mention of them
with more than these general observations,—

The 'Opposition are veiy angry with the recent
extension cif the Order of the Bath; :—this, we
think; is a little unreasonable, .considering how
many Grand Grosses in life they themselves have
had.

The reported intention of shaving the Cyprian
