.MR. EDITOR,
I was much gratified by •the zeal- with, which
you defended Sirs. SnenoNs against tie iiejust
charge which had. been brought against, her in a
Weekly Peper, and which I was serp.rised to see
copiedinto respectable Morning Paper of Mon-
. dAy. You truly state d. that it has always been a
cestom .g.the Theatrefor first-rate Performers to
dispose of their bog ea ,themselves, that they ,may
have an opportunity of• making some return to
their pH friends and patrons for former kindness.
.And surely, if ever a Performer had aright to the
Farzait! privilege, Mrs. SIDDON'S might presume to
exercise it.' tier 'private
,merits, as veil as . her
great talents; have justly procured her the esteem
and regard of sonie,of the most distinguished 'per-
WaS this country, and it would. be hard, in-
deed, if she were denied the opportunity of chew-
. ing her respect and gratitude to them. But you
might have urged in opposition to the anonymous
malice yhich has assailed her on this occasion (and
indeed on too many others), that it was formerly
the practice of the higher Performers to take part
of the Pit into the Boxes on their benefit nights,
and
,even -to allot a part: of the Stage to the ad-
inirers andenieleds of such Performers. Pik; Mr,
Editor, if I ani rightly informed, Mrs SIDDONS
-hatLapplications many.years ago. from persons of
-distinction and privateiriends, to secure places
for them on her farewell night,' whenever it
should talie place. IT the boxes lead beer left to
the ordinary Miele-of disposing of them at the
- Theatre,
Sit. is evident that the general eagerness
for places would base prevented Mrs.. SIDEIONS
frOire giving any preference to those•fromwhoin
she has long experielle4l kindaess.and 'protection.

DICERE FALSI;3I AUDEAT ?

LONDON, .
SATUEDAY, JUNE 27, 1812.

Government received this day dispatches from
Lord WEI4INGTON, dated the 10th ins t. Fuente
de Guinaldo. No event of consequence had oc-
curcd since the last dispatches from his Lordship.

An Anti()lt and a Lisbon _flail arrived this morn-
ing. We have made. some interesting extracts
rom them, to which we must refer (Sur Reader,.
We have not room for any commentg.

The account given in the French Papers-respect-
ing the manoeuvring of their squadron off Toulon,
is so remarkably confused and contradictory, that
Ire are inclined to hope that there may be some
foundation for the account which reached us some
days ago from Bristol.

Lord CASTLEREAGH will this day lay before the
House some information respecting the state of
the disturbed Counties.

We yesterday. gave, a correct outline of the
cause--:The KING v. FOOTE,—and promised our
readers a full report of it to-day, but the length
of the Parliamentary Debates, and the pressure of
other matters, oblige us to defer it till Mouday.
