THE THEATRE'.

•
LYCEIIM.----The new Op,ra Which was repre-
sent'ed for the first time on Saturday last at this
Theatre, sonlinr tile title Of The Kin's Frog, .or
Judge for Yowself, is founded iii a evell-known
story in the earlier-reeiwk of this:country The
heroine is the celebrated Eifrida, who was first
introduced upon the sta,ge in a play written by
Amtos.: HILT,. it, the Year 1710, si!•der the title of
Elfrhia, or The Fair Inconstant; hot as it dial not
sneceA. the Author reserved it rill 1731, when
it was ae-aiss'brought forward with better success.
The. subject was taken: up in '1751. by Mr.
MASON', who formed his play- upon the model.
Of the ancient Greek Drama , klithout hit et,dr
ing it for theatrical representation. -In the
year 1776 it was represented at Covent-Gar-
den- Theatre, and the beautiful. Mrs. HARTLEY
was the heroine of the piece. It was, however,
of • too solemn a nature; to suit the taste of an
English audienee, and was stunt laid aside. An-
other play on •The saute subject was witten by
Mr. JACKSON, formerly an Actor its Londtin, and
afterwards the Proprietor of the Edinburgh The-
atre. The same subject has lately been: intro-
duced on the Italian Stage, and CATALANI per-
formed the chief character. As the story, there-
fore, is so well known, it was a difficult task in-
deed for an author to render it very interesting at
the present period.7-Mr. AttNoLD undertook. this
difficult task, and has succeeded better than could
he expected, considering that it was so hackneyed•
a subject. He has varied from his predecessors in
the catastrophe, not dooming-lithe/Lea to death by
the sword Of justice; or in a duel with the li.fiv.;;
hut makes the latter relent, and sutler th4-Married
pair to retrain happy together. Mr. AnanLD has
availed himself of Elfriaa's proposal, in, Mr. MA-
SON'S play, to pass oil' one of her virgins•as the
wife of-dthelivold. Upon the whole, the Opera
i• ingeniously altered in the fable, and jr tber(Y:..
[tad beetvniore novelty in the, story .altageiber, it
would have excited a strurOer interest, as it :Vs
diverting, and, if not supported by strong chains
•to critical •approbation, very well, calculated to
please a mixed audience. It was well supported
by t'AwoETT in Orgar (E/ffitid4s fuher), WAL-
LA,cK its the King. !lARIEY in the Ilunkmign, and
move particilarly Miss KELLY in Editha. We shall
not comment on those parts which arc objection-
able, because they will most probably be ex-
p tinged OA the second representation, just filiscrv-
in4 that there is too touch of th'e. Huntsman,'s
cOttiplalmt of wanting a head, and of Editha's pro-
verbs.` There was very little opposition on' an-
nouncing the play fu to-diJit, and a very strong
majority in its favour. Tike overture is the-best
part of the music, but there are some pretty
and coorc.g, P•try,, 111GlqAtst, Miss POOLE, and
Miss KELts, acquitted 'themselves t'ery success-
hilly. The hon-c was crowded. The tepresenta-
tion was disturbed by a man in the side bokes,
who would not sit, anti who was properly dragged'
into the lobby. •

If an itrlivislual had pin-chased 0 the Tickets
5014 by WEBS, of. Ludgate 1-lill,-in the two last
Lotteries, he would have realized a profit of
55,000 t.; for, independent of the Two Thirty
Thousands, he sliared and Sold several of 10001•
500/. &c. and one of 1000 Guineas in Gold. Such
another iospitee of luck is opt to be found in the
annals-of Lotteries, for WeRB is the. only Office

__where Two .30,000/.. Prizes were

PARIS, Aug. 17.

ROYAL ORDINANCE.
Lonis', by the Grace of God, King of France
and Navarre, &c.

The outrage- committed on France, compelled
the foreign Powers to cause their armies to enter,
it, in order to reach the enemy of their secnrity:
They otteopy our territory ; thesecAamities wonlol
luivi7 been prevented, had ourvoice been more
listened to ;- hat t.rr from. our heart be_ all recri-
mination ! The sufferings of our people permit us
to.thinit only of their ntitigatio'n, waiting in the
mean time for the not distamt moment which must
put an -end to tlo''m Circumstances are_such that
we have not the choice 9f means ; it became our
duty, therefore, to resort to I hat-whiO appeared
to present the least inConvenie ,ce, and
,tp be best
coculated to relieve rho'e of our subjects who
have suffered _the most, by inviting to share in
their burthens thosu upon whom requisitions have
not hitherto borne heavy.
We have therefore resolved to establish provt:
siOnaily an extraordinary contribution, to be par-
titi,,ned among the.different departments in pro,
p(iti..ll to their resources, hoping; that, however
. _
Areavy these sactihees may be, they will lee less so
than the maintenance of a system without calcu-
lation and rides.
Full of confidence in the patriotism of the
• prin-
cipvl merchants, landholders, and capitalists, we
wish to associate them in our solicitude for the
relief or our countrymen, ruined by events, with;:
out, however, meaning that the sums which they
shall pay beyond their portion of contribution,
sly+ll definititely remain a charge to them, and
considering these excesses as mere loans for the
purpose of giving the extraordinary levy an acce-
ler ;.it ion proportioned to the urgency of wants.
Cousider'ni4 that the evil which increases frnra
day to day does not permit Its to wait for the ,ais-
scinbling of the two Chambers, in order to con-
cert with them the measures which it dictates ;
For these causes we have ordained, and do or-

chin as follows :
art. 1. There shall he raised extraordinarily, and placed in
the Royal Treasury, as a war requisition, a stini of. 100 millions,
on the departments and in the proportions axed in the sub-

There shall be added to the contingent of each depart-
ment a fund of non-raleurs, of 10 cents. per franc, by means
of which, the whole of the contingent may enter tbe treasury.
8. The sum remaining disposable on this fund' of .non-ufs-
, leurs, shall belong to the department, and shall he employed.
On its private expellees. Should the produce of the 10 septa.
- not cover these mon-rakurs, the difference shall again be re-
partitioned upon the department. -
d. The ext raordinary eharct. in question. shall be provision,
ally borne by the chief capitalists, tradesmen, and landhOlders
of cacti department.
5. The two Chambers at their approaching Session shall
decide as to the definitive repartitiun of this war cuatribu,
Con, and the repayment of the sums which shall have been

by the Prefect from the C,,uncU of HevreZtare, and from among

liberations. . . . . .
7. This Committee shall he. charged :-1, .To.. apportion
among the different districts the contingent assigned to the.
department : 2.T0 proceed, for the dist' ict, of the chief town,
in its ispportionwent among the chief capitalists, tradesmen,
and landholders., •
8. For a .iinilar apportionment in the other districts, there
shall be formed a separate Committee it; rack, composed of

11. The sums assigned to each capitalist, &c. shall be dis-
Charged by quarterly payments betwj'ea the 15th of Septem-
ber ati,l the 15th of November, it Periods to be fixed by the

which is not less unfortunite, has been taxel to

Uzes, a town near Nismes, has also been a prey
to vnAeni disorders. Several houses have been
destroyed there ; and we are even assured, -that

arms Its-reiprired, have had their houses %isited and
searched for arms.
We are assured that a 'very iMportant declara-
tion. of the Allied Powers NVill fpeedily appear,
concerning,the giving up of all branches of the
administration to the government of the King ;
it is said,, that this surrender has already been
made by the Russians. _
The district Colleges of Paris give proofs Of
the good,spirit which animates the great body of
the Electors. Their suffrages have generally
fallen on men ditinguished for their attachment
to the King and country, for their intelligence
and services: Among other candidates for the
legislature thus nominated are mentioqed the
Baron Louis, M. sic Caze, Prefect of Police, Ba-
ron Pasquier,.Minister, of :Justice ; M. Dubos,
Snb7prefect, and M. Tripier, advocate.
It is stated that General Vandamme was yester-
day arrested on the bridge.of Charenton.
The Duke
.of Fitz-James has written a letter to
the Editor of the Journal de Paris, in which he
spews, front a docoment inßertrand's own hand-
writing, that that General had sent in his ad-
hesion to Louis XVIII. Bet trend's letter is as
follows :

dear Edward, send yen my. letter for the King,-and
entreat you convey it to him. You know me 'too well to doubt
the part which I should take under present circumstances.
The Emperor having abdicated, I am released from all oh-
ligation. It is now only the unfortunate Emperor whom I
accompany; and as I have said in my letter to the King, I
pay the debt of gratitude and honour.
• • I remain 'the subject of the King, and I will be his faith=
ful subject as I have been of the Emperor. I am persuaded
that the Emperor has rersonneed in his heart, as in his de-
claratiotr' all idea of -re-entering France : but I can assure
you, still. further, that
.under no circumstances will 1 mix in
political affairs. I never was a man of revolutioa nor of in--
trigues, and twill die as I have lived, an honest mats and a
matt of honour. - If ever you bare art opportunity of .speaking
of. ate','. yon 'may atlirm without risk of being contradicted by
facts, that I shall never deviate, front the line of my xy.
I desire to be able to visit my. family. It is more than
three years-since I have seen my mother. If in a y ear I re-,
turn to you for.permission to spend some months at. Chateau-
. rouse in the bosons of my family, I reckon on your acqui-
escence. • •
I salute your children, and reckon on *enr kind recollec-
tion of rue. -May you be as happy as l wish you to be.
