'e The virulent Philippic agaiyst the English
journalists,. published in the. Argus, (of which I
gave you notice on a former occasion), and which,
as I then observed,, may be considered as the Edi-
tor's Manifesto, his been translated into French,
and, published in the form of a Pamphlet. The
Translator has very piously giber the finish to his
labnOrs, by Writing AMEN at the conclusion! An
extraafriirOit appeared ict yesterday's Publiciste.

" From a recent decision, which _took place at
Brest, it appears,„Oat the French are determined,

The First Part of SHAKEFPEARE'S Henry the,
' Fourth was last night represented at the Room in
"fottenham-street,by several 'Officers of the Guards,
and other Gentlemen well known for their propen-
sity to Dramatic Entertainments. In consequence
of the indisposition of three of these Amateur Per-
formers, the characters of Kills- Henry and the Prince
of Wales were very kindly undertaker by Mr.Frtz-
oERALD, and Capt. HICKS. Mr. CUBIT, who a
few years ago, belonged to COvent Garden Theatre,'
performed Falstaff. Mr. FITZGERALD'S talents
in Recitation have often been exerted at Public,
'Meetings. His performance' of King Henry was
very respeCiable. Captain HICKS also acquitted
himself very crediFably. An Apology .was made for
these Gentlemen.
~c us rr, though hardly facetious
enough for the fat ..knizht,' came off tolerably well.
Capt..CAOLFI E t.,s. Was the Hotspur, and he sustain-
ed the pa.rt with spirit and energy. Miss NORTON,
who perforined at the Hay-Market last season, was
playful and interesting in 'Lady Percy. If these
Dilettanti AClors did not, on the whole, equal the
expeCtation of rigid Critics,' they, however,
played such abilities as, with experience and prac-
tice, would enable them to' make a, respeClable ap-
pearance in the Theatrical \Votld. The DUKE Of
Yokes Band played in the .intervals between the
ACts. The Room was very well' attended, and, the
'Audience was 'elegant and fashionable." -•
We are decided friends to the. occasional repre-
sentation of Plays in the way in which they are
*performed by the Officers of the Guards, but as
decided enerldes to the Pic-'Vic plan, because that

A shocking accident'happene& at Orleans on the
25th ult. A Physician from Paris, named ()Lt.
'VARI, arrived there some days preceding, for the
purpose of ascending with a Montgnifier. After
making two unsuccessful experiments, .he at length,
on the day mentioned above, succeeded in raising'
himself with his balloon, to which he had pre-'
vinusly affixed a basket, having in it combustibles
and spirituous liquors, for the purpose of feedin
the flame which was to promote his ascent. He
ascended about half past twelve'at noon, with such
-/
rapidity that the balloon was out of sight in three
minutea. Half an hour afterwards, a huSbandman,
who was labouring in the fields near Fleury, carne
to inform the May-or:of that Commune, that a man
had fallen from a'greik•height in the air near the
place where he was a&_work. The Mayor having
ascertained• the fact, sent immediate information of
it to the Mayor of Orleans, who, on coming to
the spot, immediately recognized the body to be
that of the unfortunaie Or.tvArtr, who it appeared
had been precipitated to the earth and killed upon
the spot, in consequence of the apparatus of his
bailuoa having taken fire,
