THE ADDRESS.

After the SpeecilTadiaeenieCeived,
The Hon. Auausrus DILLON spoke nearly
as follows:
" I am aware, Sir, of the importance of many of
the topics which, in the Speech that has neve been
read, are submitted to the consideration of the
ilouse ; but, at the same time, I believe, that there
are few points which can disturb the unanitaill
which ought to prevail at this momentous crisis:
Our situation requires unanimity, and therefore I
trust that none will be disposed to take any onus.
soneble grounds of objettion to the Address which
I Shall by and by have the honour of moving. Isar
{perfectly persuaded, that there arc many Parageal°
it% His Majesty's Speech which must occasion the
highest joy and satisfattion to alt those who We,
the good of their Country, and the tranquillity el
the world at heart; but I am aware at the same

Overtures which, as we are informed, have
made to His Majesty, these I am sure most ltafto
afforded the highest pleasure and satisfaction
every one; and, after the variety of ePi,e,„ivea

which Ireland has been p1aced.....3 part of the &Olt:
which the Enemy might, perhaps, be disposed t 0
consider as the most eligible point of attack.
Majesty has direaed us to turn our attention to uric';
Cher point,' which he justly states as of the utoo,:s
importance. He has requested that we should give
him that support which alone can enable him 40
bring the present contest to a safe and honouto,
termination. The greatest eagerness has been r°a;
nifested by this House, to give His Majesty 'the hi;
effectual support in its power; and I trust that jrr',
moment the exertions of Parliament will not be i

continued. His Majesty has particularly adirettfi:a
to .the support of public credit ; and have itiS d'Auis

are the principal circumstance, to which, 4

it was at that time in the hist Sesiion when •

different individuals of this lione tou,d it ner, s.
Lay to move for a CommitNe F1..0.ts to
take into consideration those wasures whie;a were
still wanting for its defence; and thinking ,tit,
if no other Honourable- Gentleman will bring for.
watd a Motion of that sort, I JhALI teel it my duty
to do it.- I cannot help !t;c attenti,m of the
House to another insi.ncr: in the vitilaiion of the
Law of Nations, fully as Attocions as any to whit It
the Speech alludes. I mean the case of an
Officer, Captain Wright, who was taken by the
Enemy, after gallantly defending his ship against
very superior force. Although he was an OtiLer
taken in the licinnurable service of his Con.,,rv, yrt
the French Government had not only thought proper
to order him to close confinement as a prisoner in
:the Temple, but had affedted to treat him as el
nal,' and to have interrogatories put to him,
the orders he had received from his Governitent.--
, This violation of the I,3tV of Nations, it did not
appear that our Ministers had taken any stale to
prevent. ,The many weeks and months that had
passed over since the imprisonment of that Officer
had witnessed no tneasure taken to redress his
wrongs ; and yet the measures hi, adwor,i
such ciretimstances arc obvious. We have also
many French Officers taken under similar circum.
totaficCi, and the LAW Of Reprisals alone can :.ecn.e
the proper treatment of those of our Officers wl:o

Sestiou of Parliatnep.t. The rjeb3te3 Which took

plate in the two Houses upon the Motions for Ad.
dresses were neither long nor interesting. In the
liouse of Commons, the ob•iervationa of Mr. Fox
were not so atucli diteded to the Speech itself as
points which he conceived ought to have
been introduced intn it, the principal of which was,
Cinholic Fanancip:ir on : he., however, did not oppose
the Motion ; nor did Mr.W rNDSLAM, who contented
hinvielf with some general comments upon the tiite
elf our regular Military Force and tbC Volunteers.
,In the 'noose of Lords, the Debate, or other, the
Converol•ion, took neatly the saint turn, and Lord
Cs% *Ft N V I 14. ti expressed hitnself in vary strong terms

Throne contained the I,ll.,wing passage

" Notwithstanding these trancadions, so repug.
nant to every sentiment of moleration and justice,
I have recently received a Communication from the
French Government, containing professions of a
Pacific disposition."

After this short and plain statement, it would be
superfluous to make any observations upon the supe-
riority of our Information. We leave to the Papers
to which we have alluded, the difficult task of ac-
counting to their Readers for their gross ignorance
of so important a fact ; and, as to the flippancy ansl
impertinence with which they have treated us, we
freely foigive them.

on the rim floor, where a most sumptuous breakfast

was prepared, of which they partook, and then re.'

THE TintAnr.—A tew Citttredy itrAS brought
forward last night at Covent-garden ,Theatre, un .
tier the title of The School for Reform • or, How to
Rule a Husband. The serious part of this drama,
referring to the first of its titles, arises from the
condua of Lord Avondale, who, many years before

the opening of the Oece, had married an amiable
woman of inferior birth. Having risen in fortune
and consequence in public life, his ambition induces_
him to conceal this marriage, and to confine his
Lady in a Convent abroad ; from which she is re-
leased by the Revolutions on the Continent. As
he is going to marry another Lady his wife returns
to this Country, with the father of the intended
bride, under a feigned name. , The son, by his first
marriage, Lord Avondale had placed under the
care of Robert Tyke, one of his tenants, who coming
to guilt and ruin, is transported, but returns to this
country just before the Play commences. The son
is taken into the Philanthropic School, where he
is trained to knowledge and virtue, and has re,
ceived the name of Frederick, in compliment to the
DUKE of Yoaic, the Patron of that excellent Insti.
tutiun. Frederick becomes Secretary to Lord
Avondale; and after a variety of incidents, Lord
Avondale acknowledges his wife and son. Frederick
is married to Lord Avondale': intended bride, julict,

the, daughter of his Lordship's old friend, Genera
Tarragon.
The comic part of the Play chiefly relates to
Ferment, a half-witted schemer, and his wife, who
governs him, not by reasoning againschis will, but
by observing a determined silence whenever he pro.
poies any thing which she disapproves, and only
'answering him when he has relinquished his project.
The Author of this Play is Mr. MORTON., a
Gentleman to whom the pnblic are indebted for be.:,
veral interesting and entertaining produaions. In
this Play he has rather endeavoured to produce a
mural and affecting story than to excite violent
but unprofitable merriment, and this purpose he
has accomplished with gleat success. His Play
may be considered as an interesting Novel in
a dramatic form, The •:ortic Scenes are intro.
duced rather to relieve the feelings, than to inter.
fere with the deep interest of the Story. In truth,
this Drama is an appeal to
,our best feelings ; and
.we may say; that no hearer will go " unimproved
away," though there is enough ,of the lively to
prevent too strong an agitation of salutary sympa-
thy; The Play, is, altogether, much too long, and
there are too many references to Heaven, a subjed
too aweful for theatrical entertainments.
The Author has drawn a forcible and impressive
portrait of guilt, levity, self. reproach, and penitence,
in Robert Tyke, a reformed Felon, and his design is
admirably coloured by EMERY.
The Performers were all excellent but parti.,
cularly COOKE, EMERY, MUNDEN, LEWIS, and
CHARLES KEMBLE. A serious Prologue, written
by Mr. TAYI.ort, was very well delivered by
BRUNTON. •A very lively Epilogue was spoken
with great animation by Mrs. LITCHFIELD : it
Was written by her husband, a Gentleman of well.
known literary talents.
The House was crowded, and the Play was
throughout' teceived with great applause, which
was universally confirmed when it was announced
for. repetition, this, evening.

and took out the Lieutenant of the Fisgard and
