TII E TII EATRES.

Day a It-LA NE.—The Suspicious husband was
represented last night at this Theatre. We lately
noticed the performance of the same play at the
same theatre, and therefore need only add that
Mrs. DAvisox last night was the Ciarinda, of
which she gave an animated personation, ELLISTON
as usual was all vivacity in Ranger.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The only novelty at this
Theatre, last night, in Much Ado about Nothing,
was the Beatrice of Miss CIiE3TER. It was
sprightly, characteristic, and amusing, and justly
received great applause. Mr. C. KEMBLE'S Be-
nedict is one of his very best comic efforts, and it
was last night as effective as ever. The subor-
dinate parts were well assigned, and Faartutes
Dogberry was prominent in humour. Mr. C.
KEMBLE was received with three rounds of ap-
plause when he came forward to announce the
performances for this evening, a due tribute to
the admirable spirit and cricical precision of his
Benedict.—A good. house.

Vie Bishop of Winchester arrived at Littleharnpton, on
Tuesday last, to pass several weeks there.
The Bishop of Chichester has quitted the Episcopal Palace
at Chichester, for his town residence.
On the evening of Friday se'nnight, Mr. Bennett, Organist
of Chichester Cathedral, had his annual Concert, at the As.
sembly Rooms, in that city.—The company exceeded 300
persons of rank and fashion.
On Saturday last the new Dean of Salisbury, the Rev. Dr.
Hugh Pearson, was installed in the Cathedral of that City, and
on Sunday morning he delivered a most excellent and animated
discourse from PsMm exxii. 1. The congregation was nume.
rous and most attentive. The Reverend, Preacher did ample
justice to the expectations formed of him. He is what is called
an Evangelical Preacher.
The Select Convivial Society held their Annual Dinner, at
the Three Tuns Inn4 on Wednesday last : words would but
feebly describe the harmony of such a Meeting, or the excellent
repast provided by Osborn ; the evening will be remembered
with pleasure by all the'convivialists.

coif) the
ii
nisters have resolved on the adoption of a
policy, seem, from the documents communicated
to Parliament, and, the explanations with which
they were accompanied, to be threefold.
First, That Great Britain is not bound, on
principles of public law or justice, to interfere.
for the protection of the Spaniards agailih
France, unless, in the progress of the contest/
circumstances should arise to compromise the
stitution and Government,
honour or the interests of England herself- a
Secondly, That the Spanish nation is divide
on the great question respecting its present OW
neutral
participation in the. conflict would not only be
supportingF the Spanish Constitutionalists against
one half of the
France, but would be maintaining
Spanish nation against the other.
Thirdly, That France has solemnly disclaimed
all views of ambition and aggrandizement, and
[ has pledged herself to relinquish her influence
over Spain, as soon, as she shall have obtained a
and therefore that our
modification of her present Constitution.
The first of these positions, that England i 5
not bound, by considerations of justice, to inte!'
fere, is utterly untenable both in fact and ie
principle ; and when it is taken in connectide
on
with the third position, that France has ma
professions of moderation, it involves
diction which we shall hereafter render salli.
ciently manifest. ill
The only justifiable ground for our neutral the
