Wed the representation of Semiramide, we need
only' observe that it was repeated on Saturday,
and attended with-a much more numerous audi-
ence than was to be .expected considering the
heat of the weather. Some retrenchment took
place, probably from the fear of entrenching
upon Canonical hours, but enough was heard of
PASTA to delight the 'audience. GAlt cyt was,

Was affected by indisposition, though she reso-
lutely struggled to perform her part. The ap-
plause was loud, and the boxes had a brilliant
diiplay of. fashionables.

COVENT..G ART) EN%—This Theatre closed on
Saturday last with the Comedy of Much ado
about Nothing, which had the general strength of
the Company to support it, and consequently was
well received. Mr. C. KEIMIILE'S Benedick is one
of his best comic efforts, and is, indeed,
an admirable, piece of acting. Miss Cncs-
TER'S Beatrice was very animated. The
other characters were at least respectably sup-
ported. At the end of the.COmedy,.Mr. FAW•
cgrr addressed the following speech to the au-
dience, which they heard, with great applause :

" LADIES AND GENTLEMEX,--.OUr !lemon closing with
the representations of this evening, I come, on the part of
the Pmprietors, to offer you their sincere thanks for the dis-
tinguished, patronage with which you have honoured thi
Theatre.

" The new embellishments, I am happy to say, hare given
universal satisfaction. Our success in .ttie attempt to revive a
taste for Comedy has answered our most sanguine expectations,
while our effbrts to give additional effect to the plays of :tak-
specie must, we trust, have convinced you of-our love and ve-
neration for the greatest dramatic Poet that ever charmed or
instructed mankind.

" In short, when I call to your recollection that we have, in
the course of the 'present season, produced thirteen new pieces,
besides many revivals, I trust you will allow that neither pains
nor expence have been spared to make the Entertainments of
Covent.garden /Theatre worthy of the greatest nation in the
world.

" It only remains to assure you, that the vacation will be
entirely devoted to your future entertainment and convenience,
and that no efforts will be spared to ensure a continuance of your
favour. And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, on the part of the
Proprietors, and myself, and all the other Performers, until the
27th of September, 1 must respectfully bid you farewell."

one of which had three toes. At its birth it ut-

'fur. Mn►tQUta ne LA FA ETT E.—We are in-

formed by a letter from Havre-de-Grace, dated
yesterday, that on 'Tuesday last the celebrated
Marquis de la FAYETTE embarked at that place,
in the American ship Cadmus, for the United
States of America. Such was his enthusiastic
reception in that town, that the population
poured out miles on the Paris road to meet his
carriage. The moment he was admitted within
the harrier the gates were closed, by which
mense numbers were shut out from their homes.

They. were afterwards admitted by the military,
as fast us their names could be taken dozen ! This
conduct, both on the part of the Bourbon Go.
vernment, and of the people of Havre, may seem
extraordinary ;, the former in liaving ordered
the Governor of Havre to pursue such a course,
and the latter in shewinm such a warm feeling
for an old Jtevolutionary Chief.' also a fact
that every inducement and invitation has been I
held out by the Governor•of Havre to the young
men to enrol themselves into a body-guard, to
escort the Duchesse de Berri in a visit she in-
tends shortly to make to that town, but only 30
have volunteered for the honour. The Marquis
de la Fayette, it may be remembered, com-
menced his military career in the American artily,
as a volunteer, at the commencement of that war,
and by his activity and ardour contributed es-
sentially to the success of :the Alnerican revolu-
tion. He returned to France when the inde.
prudence of the United States was recognised.--,
He is now in the 68th year of his age. The
Cadmus sailed on Tuesday, for New York.—
