TO TI!E EDITOR,

SIR,

REPORTS having been circulated highly injurious
to .the Magistracy of the City of Coventry, and
most unjustly reflecting upon the conduCt t,f a de-
tachment of the Reginient of the King's Dragoon
Guards, quartered at Coventry, at the time of the
late Elenion, charging theni with committing aas
of great cruelty on the peaceable inhabitants,- by
which many liVes were said to be lost, and many
persons dangerously wounded, We, as Members
for the City of Coventry, request of you, in justice to
the partiet so falsely accused, to insert in your Paper,
the two following Letters, which will oblige, Sir,
youi obedient Servants',

A COPY OF A LETTER FROM THE MAYOR OF CO-

VENTRY TO COL. BROWNRIGG.
" SIR, Coventgi Aug. 6, t 202.
" Col. ELLIOTT of the First Regiment of Dra-
goon Guards (lately quartered in this City), has
favoured tile with copies of letters-recei'ved at the
War Office from Coventry, .ontaining serious com-
plaints against Cornets ADDISON and BRACE-
BRIDGE, for wanton cruelty, committed by several
of the Privates of the Regiment, whilst under com-
mand, on the 22d of July last. It is my duty, Sir,
ro state to you, for the- information of His:Roxial
Highness the Commander in Chief, a correct ;1-Z:count
of the transalions alluded to.
" On the morning of the zzd of July, the 'Chair-
ing of IVIr. JEFFER'is and Captain BARLOW, the re-
turned Members for the' City, took place. The
Band of the Regiment, at the request of several of
the principal Inhabitants, attended the procession.
" Several of the Privates, about sixteen in num-
ber (unarmed), assisted in leading the horses of the -
Band, who concluded themselves throughout the
day in the most orderly and peaceable Manner. On
the Procession entering Spon-street, a .very large
Mob of Persons, in the interest of Mr. BIRD and
Mr. MOW?, E (the unsuccessful Candidates) were as-
sembled, for the avowed purpose of attacking and
insulting the Members. The Chair of Mr. J EFF RAYS
was soon' surrounded—stones were thrown in vari-
ous direCtions—threats and imprecations the most
horrid, uttered, and at length such ads of riot and
violence committed, as to induce the Magistrates to
request a.small detachment of the Regiment to be in
readiness, to restore the peace of the City, should
it be found necessary to employ them. An attempt
was made by a mob to dismount one of the Band,
which was resented by the Privates leading the
horses, and some blows were struck on
,both sides.
" Had not this attack been made on the Band, not
a Soldier would have stirred from his .post. This.
must be the transaction alluded to in the former
part of Mr.. MASON'S 'Letter, which, he says, the
Inhabitants submitted to. I was myself, an eye-
witness of these proceedings. In the afternoon of
the .same day, a great number of the 'partizans of
Mr. BIRD and Mr. A4O°llE, dined together at
Radford, a small Village contiguous to, and al.
most adjoining Coventry ; and- in the evening, it
was given out, that a Grand Mock Chairing was
I.to take place at this Village, of a Man, who they
pretended, was returned the Member for Raiford.
This mock-chairing took place, and of course brought
together a very large number of persons, the most
violent and disorderly of the partizans of Mr. BIRD
and Mr. MOORE. Upwards of iOOO persons attend.
ed the ceremony. About half_past seven, or eight
o'clock, this banditti returned from Radford to Co.
ventry, preceded by two drums and' two fifes, in.
sulting and beating every person they met 'wearing
the Cockade of Mr. j E FFERYS and Capt. BARLOW.
The malice of this mob was particularly aimed at
the military. A soldier near the market-place was
violently beaten by them, thrown down, and kicked
most cruelly. On their approaching the Barracks,
the Rsgue's March was beat, and several of the pri-
vates standing there, were attacked and forced into •
the mob, and violently and cruelly beaten. Many
of the inhabitants were also seriously hurt. This
mischief was pre-determined, as I am most cre-
dibly informed that the same Gentleman who gave
information to the War_office, and who is a warm •
partizan of Mr. BIRD and. Mr..MobaE, was heard
to say to Captain AcKLAND, on the day of the chair-
ing, " that those persons who wore the cockades in
the morning would not wear them in the afternoon."
The inhabitants became extremely alarmed at these
outrageous proceedings, and as the mob was pro-
ceeding towards the street where the riots were
most manifest in the morning, a Magistrate deemed
it necessary to interfere.

.", A small detachment of the Military was there-
fo.re ordered out, and the mob instantly dispersed.
The Magistrate, who was the most alive in sup_
pressing these riotous proceedings, was himself as_
saulted. It may. be true- that some boys received
blows given over the shoulders by the flat side of
the-sword ; but no information has reached my ear
of:any one person being seriously wounded, or even
wounded at all ; nor have I heard from any of the
Faculti in Coventry that such accidents really hap-
pened.

•
" In justice to the Regiment in question, I beg
leave to add, that during its continuance in Coven-
try, it was remarked for good Condiutk, sobriety,
and strict discipline.

TtibsE who witnessed the.baffie at. Cockpool_
greet,, between Eicher and Burke, will no doubt
recollea with what relu6ance Pr:rite 'yielded the
palisht Of viaory to hiS antagonist on that day.
Since that peridd Nike hits never been satisfied
in his own mind, btu that the fortune. of the nay
was lost On account of an accidental blow which
he received in the throat; It was :therefore his
intention to avail himself Of the first opportunity
that offered, to try the fate of another Coizest.--
It was not, however, by
.the battle which. was in.
tended to have been fought in YoikShire, that he
was to judge of his superiority oVer Belcher, as
it is well known, that no battle was then to take
place, without Belcher first agreeing. to make it a
cross, which he could not be persuaded to consent
to, having sworn to his Mother at patting, that
he Would strietly adhere to the rule laid down by
his Grandfather Vail, never to sell a baffle. The
fight was therefore put off, after much expence had
been incurred in preparing the stage and training the
Heroes. Burke after thP3 still continued to boast at
various times of his superior prowess ; and on Thum_
day last, being a little pot-valiant, at Camberwell
Fair, he was entertaining a number of hearerS with
the manner he would serve it out to Belcher the first
time he met with him. A coach came up to the spot
at the moment with Belcher in it, accompanied by
FLETCHER READ, Esq. when he was soon in_
fdrmed of what Burke had been saying; The
Bristol Hero immediately stepped out of the coach,
and asked Burke if what he had just heard Was
true ?• Burke replied it was; and offered to ac.
company hint to. a room where he would box him
for pure love. They, retired to the Golden Lbn,
and found the place they meant to fight in occu-
pied with some females. Belcher immediately en-
treated Burke not to alarm them, but adjourn to
the Bowling-green, but Burke persisted in setting
too in the room; on which Belcher stript off his
coat to prepare for battle, when his opponent
demanded a truce, as he had drank freely, and
was not fit to engage him. Belcher remained be-
hind, and Burke with several others repaired to
the Bowling-green, but had not been there long
before he sent a message to Belcher, that he
was then ready to enter the ring with him. Bel_
cher obeyed the summons, and they again script
and set-too. There -was at the time so bad a
ring, that nothing like science vt,:s displayed.—
They dosed, and Belcher threw Burke. On the
second round, there was more room—Belcher •
placed his first blow on Burke's nose ; the blood
instantly gushed out, - and he again fell. On
his Second's attempting to raise him up, he
requested to remain where he was, and in that si-
tuation again applied to Belcher for a suspension'
of hostilities, as he found he had drank too much
liquor, and that they were not contending.on equal
terms. Burke farther proposed that he would then
put down a guinea to one of Belcher's, which should
be forfeited by tl'ose who failed to meet next day, at
twelve o'clock, in Oxendon-street, fur the purpose
of fixing a proper place to "fight at, the same day,
that they might fairly determine which of them
hereafter was to be considered the best man.

THE BATTLE IN BAKER'S FIELDS, SEAR BAYS..

WATER.

At twelve o'clock, according to appointment, the
Bruising Heroes met in Oxendon_street, accom-
panied by many of their friends of fighting noto-
riety, and they both being in the same mind as
the day before, agreed to proceed to Baker's
Fields, behind Bayswater, to have the battle out.
Belcher had no objelion to make the quarrel up,
without appealing again to blows ; but Burke, con-
sidering that he had been used ill the day before,
refu.3ed, and seemed to say, " Hard blows and
revenge for me.".
At one o'clock the combatants, with an immense
crowd of people, arrived at the, place fixed on. The
field was spacious, and there being no rime to creel
a stage, or any attempt at preparation, a most ex-
tensive ring was formed : the persons in the inner cir-
cle almost laying down, the second Circle sit-
ting, the third circle on their knees, and outside
of them the others standing. In a few mi-
nutes the ring was formed, and the two furious
pugilists appeared in the middle of it, be-
gan to strip off their clothes, and seemed eager
for the fight. Many of, the amateurs were asto-
nished at the cool determination with which
Burke appeared to enter the ring with Belcher, after
the severe beating he had received from him, but
his mind was made up to try once more if persever-.
ance, or a fortunate blow, would stand his friend.
Belcher's looks were those of confidence : his Se-
conds were Joe Ward and Bill Gibbons. Burke
was attended by Tom Owen and Yokel, a Jew.--
Having announced that they were ready to set-too,
a perfeel silence immediately prevailed throughout
the speetators.

First Round.--A great deal of hard strait forward
fighting, in which both parties received severe
blows in the body. Burke closed with Belcher, and
attempted to throw him, but Belcher gave Burke a
cross-buttock. Nn blood was spilt, and Belcher
was first upon his legs.

Second 16rind.—gurice endeavoured to give the
first blow, hut it was partied by Beicher's left arm,
who with the same hand hit Burke a violent blow
on his mouth, which cut both his lips; he bled
mach, but did not fall, till on closing he was again
thrown by Belcher, who decidedly seemed to have
strength in his favour. • .

Third Roulld.--,Set to immediately on-rising from
the Second's knee; no manoeuvring, all strait forward
fighting. Belcher received a violent.blow under the
left arm, but fought on; and on closing again had
the advantage in the fall, • but Burke was thought
not to have the worst of it.

Fourth Round.—Hard fighting—several hits in
the body on both sides, but no knock-down blows.
Neither seemed to have the advantage, except when
they closed, when Burke as before fell 'undermost,
Several voices called out, "Take care of your nose,
Burke, and you will do him yet."—Belcher smiled.
Fijth Rouud.-13.urke shewcd evident marks of
irritation, but still fought strong Belcher avoided
several severe blows aimed at his head, and laughed
at his opponent. Burke., however, piked ahotber

blew with his right Tula opt his Opponent's let
sitlei and again c;cfsed with Belcher,' who gave ]lilt
anoLher cross-bUft,ek, but still there were nci
iri the battle'. They both feel together at the
of.the round.
Siztb . . .
Rotiti,:f.----Beleher got oiler Btfrke's guard
with his left hand, and placed a severe blow oo his
clieek-bOne, which cdt i hole it it; and midi it
bleed Much. This had a visible effed on Burke's
temper, and threW him off his guard, so that he had
evidently the worst of the roUnd, He closed again
With Belcher, bUt wi li no better success.
Se<veizA alter*l his mode offiglici
inn, but 'not for the better'. fie drew hick before'
he attempted to Make his blow; to give it more
force, bUt Belcher avoided if, and Burke fell at his
feet. Belcher now appeared in great spirits.
Eighth Ro't‘iid.-----Beicher seemed as alert as ever,
and fought undauntedly. Burke fought with savage
feroeitY, but could not make his blows tell. Bel-
cher seeing be began to be distressed, pretended to
4•ricourage hirti to come op. Burke never flinched
from Be:cher's blows, who now seemed to be able
to vlace them where he liked. Burke's face se,:me.l
much mangled ; his mouth was full of blood, and
when they fell together, being far the first tin'
upper Most, he spit the blood into Belcher's month.
Belched did not relish it, anti swore he would pay
him for it the next round.

Arin!b•Rrfrid.--Burke came up to Belcher, who
stopped and returned his first blow, which hit
Buikt, who rallied again and hit Belcher a blow on.
one side of the neck, which turned black ; he how_
ever fought on till Burke attempted to throw him,
when Belcher gave him a severe erossbuttock, and
Burke was with difficulty got up.
Tenih Round.—Lßelcher fought with unabated
vigour, and seemed unwilling to give Burke any
breathing time, but what was allowed by the laws
of Foxing. Burke came up very manly, and shewed
good bottom, bUt now fought round, and lay very
much open to Belcher's blows. It was thought
he must soon give in ; but hitting Belcher a severe
blow near the eye, concluded with having the best
of this round.

Eleventh Round.—This was of all others the
most desperately fought. It appeared as if Burke
meant to try the eff‘ct of his whole strength in this
round. &icher, however, had equal powers to
`meet him. Burke placed all his blows at Belcher's
body with his right hand ; Belcher parried some of
them in his usual way, and struck at the same time
with his, left hand at his opponent's fate, which
during this round was in a shocking bloody state.
The round ended with Belcher giving Burke :the
usual finish, a cross buttock.

Tw,Ml) Round.---Burke seethed much weakened
from the last round, though he would not give in.
Belcher hit him a violent blow or two on ane side
of his nose. The old Wound was hit, but not
severely. It was now evident he could not recover
the battle. Belcher was as cdol and as colleaed as
at the first of the contest, and seemed to have
strength in reserve. •Ile threw Burke with apparent
ease.

Thirteenth Round.—This was the last round, in
which Burke evinced much courage, and seemed to
prove that none but Belcher could give him as much
beating as he could carry away. He rushed upon
Belcher, regardless of the blows that were so liber-
ally dealt cut to him, and being entirely exhausted,
fell upon the ground in an inanimate state, when his
Seconds interfered, and said he could do no more.
It was considered one of the severest battles that
has taken place 4ince Belcher became of pugilistic
note. Belcher acknowledged he never had had such
an ugly customer. It was thought that if Burke
could have preserved the same coolnesa and science
to the end which he evinced in the onset, that the
fiitht must have lasted half an hour, even at.the rate
they fought, if he did not prove
.viaorious.
Burke could scarcely see or stand, being much
:beaten abont the body; and cut in the face so
dreadfully tliat it was almost impossible 'to distin-
guish a 'feature. He was put into a coach, and
conveyed to a house in the neighbourhood of
Grosvenor-square. He was heard to groan very
much on the way. Belcher, on the contrary-,
did not appear to have a single mark in his face,
or upon his body, except a bruise on the left
cheek bone, and another on the breast, towards
the shoulder. Immediately upon his being declared
visor, a judgment which entitles him to be cal-
led the Champion of England, he leaped up three
times from the ground, near three feet high, atnidst
the shouts and huzzas of the Spalators, to shew
that he had not suffered from the fight, and re..
mined in full possession of his powers. After
walking three times round the field with his friends,
to cool and compose his spirits, he left the ground
on foot, his particular friends accompanying him
until they reached the road, where they took . a
Coach, in order to avoid the crowd that followed
them.

It was said, that the Corlib3tants .fought for a
pulse of
.fifty guineas--this was not true the fad
is, that after the fight, Mr. READ, and some other
_ .

amateurs of this brutal praaice, subscribed thirty
guineas for the winner,' and five guineas for the
loser of the battle.

MANSION"-HOUSE.—Yesterday a/little boy, ap-
patently not more than eight or nine years old,
and neatly dressed,' vi-as brought up before the Lott D
MAYOR. A 'constable said lie found him strolling
the streets in the middle of the night, and took him
to the watch-housr!, where he told many strange sto.
ries of his being connected with a number of boys who
lived by thieving. Being examined as to the truth
of this confession, he gave the same account of him-
self to his Lordship. He repeated the names of
many of his alledgcd accimpliccs ; and added, that
he had no friends, nor any body to take car: of
him., A. well dressed man who attended, bif lined
his Lordship thathaving seen the boy at ;he C
ter, he was induced by curiosity to ask him some
questions : in answer ro which he told that his
father arid mother both died on the same day,- and
that he was obliged to resort to thieving, in concert
with a number of boys like, himself, for his support;
but that On inquiry he found that the account was
mostly false, arid that the b)y is the son of a JL‘iv,
vho lives in East Smithfield, Ivlio said he had been
from home for two days. The Loa :VIAYok or-
dered !lint to be sent back to his tatlict.

VAWKSTONE GALA,

ON ACCOUNT a; COLONEL HILL'S BlltTli-DAY.
Wednesday being the Birth-day of Colonel Rovii-
LAND HILL, who then attained his joth year,
the same was celebrated Hawkstone, the seat of
his uncle, Sir RICHARD HILL, flirt. 1\11;P. fOr•thlS
County, with much joy and festivity, on account of
the Colonel being lately returned from Egypt, and
his happy recovery, from the dangerous wound he
received there. The bells of Prees, Hodnet, and
Weston; rang merrily on the occasion, the whole
day ; and a very large company, among 'whom were
about twenty of , the Hill family, dined in the
Green-house, which is built of rough stone, in the
Gothic sile, and is more than half covered with ivy,
honeysuckles, &c. with a most romantic and at.the
same time a most delightful view of rocks, wood,
lawn, and watetln front ; contraSted with a great
number of orange-i ree-S,myrales, geraniums, and vari.:
OUS other plants pleasingly disposed on each side of it.
Here, nothing was wanting to Make. the enter-
tainment complete. 'Tie Repast was truly liberal
and hospitable, partly hot and partly cold ; with
a-plentiful spread of ices, and all sorts of choice
wines and fruits ; pines, melons, grapes, peaches,
net-brines, &c. &c. The middle- of the table was
decorated with two lofty rillArs. twined about
with natural flowers, and also with -branches of
gilt laurel, as emblems both of viaory and of peace.
Between these pillars ',hung festoons of the most
beautiful and fragrant flowers, at once .gratifying
to thesight'and smell. This pretty whimsical ar-
rangement was done under the immediate inspe4ion
of Miss HILL. Whilst the-cOmpany was.at dinner,
a very -full and excellent band of music, with French
hofns, clarionets, &c. played several martial and
loyal tunes, and a soldier of the Colonel's Regi-
ment, led before _the windows some of the animals
which the -Colonel had brought from Egypt, and
Malta ; among these, was a most beautiful Arabian
horse, caparisoned with some cloth of Turkish
make, also a curious sabre, and the helmet by -which
Colonel 1-IILL!'s life was providentially saved, in the
day of battle on the 13th of March, 180 I; The horse,
(ati well as the Turkish Tent, which is now pitched
in Ha wkstone Park), was once the property of the
famous iVlui•ad Bey, who kept it for:his own riding,
but being taken from him by the French at the
battle of the Pyramids, on their evacuation of
Grand Cairo the steed and the tent both came into
possession of Colonel-HILL.
Dinner being over, the following Toasts were
drank:

The Icing.
The. -Queen.
The. Prince of %Vales.
The T)uke of YOrk and the Army.
Coldnel Fiill, and, many happy Birth-days to him.
Lord Nelson and the Navy.
Lord Hutchinson.
Major Hill and Captain (who were both present), with the

.
. .
- .
• Nor ii•Stiropshire Yeomanry.
Mr. Addington, and the Adrnini§tration to whom under
P rovkienve we are inde'ated for thnse Blessings of Peace which
we are now enjoying. ,

Sir RrcHARD HILL then said he should beg leqvc
to propose another toast, althouEgh i included himself:.

The New Parliament; and may all its Consultations be
founded hi Iteliglion, Wisdom and Loyalty.

After • each toast a cannon' was fired, and two
when His Maje:ity's health was drank. Every dis-
'ch'arge was answered by another from the Citadel,
and had a very fine effect among the surrounding
rocks. The Company then repaired to the Turkish
Tent, where coffee waited their—arrival, served up
in a curious silver pot, which, as wtll'as the cups,
'was brought by Colonel Hill- from Grand Cairo.
Whilst cotf:e and tea were .drinking, the Guests
were entertained with some excellent airy on
the Pedal Harp; by Mr. Morris, and " God
save the King" was' sung, all the Ladies-and
Gentlemen standing up, and the latter being
all uncovered. Opposite the Inscription' in the
Tent was displayed a fine print of Lord Nelson,
the Hero of the Nile, and the beginner of our Egyp-
tian conquests, surrounded with branches 'of gilt
laurel. Tea being finished, the party walked to-
gether to the large Sa,ifing-boat which was waiting
for them, not many yards distant, ar the water's
I head, close by the 'Colossian figure of Neptune,
placed between two large ribs of a whale, and sur-
rounded by' a bower of laurel. This yacht, which
carries three sails, had the Union Flags flying, and
was decorated- with several festoons of flower's, as
also with oak boughs and ears of corn, emblematical
of the wooden wallsof Ohl England, and the earnest
of a plentiful harvest f: the music playing " Rule
Britannia," and various other tunes. When the
vessel came within sight of Hawkstone, and just
Opposite the house, at the' place where the company
landed, a very large cannon was discharged, which
echoed-in a tremendous manner from the wood above.

We must not omit to mention that the Children,
both Boys and Girl 3, froth the Rev. BRIAN HILL'S
laudable Institution called Industry Hall, appeared
all clothed in their own Manufacture, With each a
laurel branch and nosegay in their hands, and a bide
ribbon round their straw hats, which were also of
their own !inking. Thus- equipped, and having
been previously regaled with plum.pudding, &c.
they walked two and two before the Green-house
windows, saying,

" Long live the Kin, I"
" Many happy Birth-Days to Colonel Hill."

Mr. DowNwARD,Sir RICHARD HIL I'6 Steward;
who resides at the Citadel, which is very- near
t(4 the Green-House, and Mr. MORRIS, Sir
RICHARD'S late Butler, who now keeps Hawk-
stone Inn, both wishing to testify their esteem
for Colonel HILL and the 'Family, gave each of
them a far sheep, for which tables were laid
in the Lawn before "the front door of the inn ;
and Mr. Joseph Payton, another respectable old do-
mestic, gave a guinea fur bread, • and the Gardener
balf-a-guinei towards ale, of which every one had
sufficient; and no one' too much. Thus, all the
poor neighbours and speftators were gratified and
refreshed, whilst an affectionate joy, thankfulness,
and decorum pervaded the whole ceremony, and
were the distinguished orders of the day.
The next morning Colonel Hill set ofF to join
his Regiment at Fort George, in. Scotland.

Died, at Stonehaven; oa the 3oth ult. at the age
. of g 6, JoHar StoaNc, bar-officer of 'the Sheriff's
Court, gling _constable, and keeper of the county
gaol of Kincardineshire.---This Man afforded sore_markable an instance of strength and activity in old
age, that a short account of his. life deserves to be
recorded.—He was born in the neighbourhood of the
town of Ayrrand had a distin& remembrance of e
Rebellion in 1715, and of the circumstances 'attend
ing the- return of his fatherfrom the battle of Sheriff.;
muir, in which he had been engaged as a private in
the Earl of STAIR% Dragons, one of the two Re-
giments which, led on by the Duke of ARGYLE,.
routed ahe left wing of the Rebel Army. He was.
a. farm servant till the year.s73B, when, at the age
of sz, he enlisted himself in toe 61h Regiment of
Foot, then commanded by General GUISE, Aid-de.
Camp to King GEORGE H. Having in 1740,
embarked with his Regiment to join the armament
under Admiral VERNON and General WENTWORTIIi
a-ading against the Spaniards in the West Indies and
South America, he was employed in several of the
unlucky expeditions in these countries, and parti-
cularly in the attempt to cross the Isthmus of Darien
for the purpose of attacking Panama. When these
Commanders were ordered home, with the remainder
of their forces, he was one of the few- who were
spared to return to Britain. He, scrredin Scotland -
during the Rebellion 174.5, and afterwards did duty
. ten years in Gibraltar, from whence he returned to
Britain about the .time the unfortunate Admiral
BYNG was brought home a prisoner. After being
27 years a soldier, he, in 1765, received his dis.:
charge; and was admitted an out pensioner of Chel-
sea-Hospital. From that time, he resided-constantly
in Stonehaven, performing, during the last 37 years
of his life, the duty of an aCtive and trusty exe-
cutor of the law, in which occupation his superior
manual prowess was often displayed. He was thrice
married, and the last time, within these few. years,
to a young woman. He was a brawny man, 5 feet
It inches. high, uniting a very athletic appearance
with an exalt symmetry of shape. Even at 96 his
gait was perfeCtly ereCl and easy. Within these last
twelvemonths of his life he has been known, with-
out seeming trouble to himself, to walk from 3Q to
40 miles a day, in the execution of his duty as-a
SherifPs Officer. He always enjoyed good health .;
and there is every reason to presume that his lite
might_ have been considerably farther prolonged,
had he not, at-the late County- Eledion, in a moment
of hilarity, forgotten that he was old. By drinking
too freely, he was seized with an inflammation,
which in eight days put an end to his -existence.

That favp'arite Tern', the Rorti Circus, never
displayed more brilliancy of elegance and i.ishion
than is now beheld in its very extensive -range of
Boxes, attraded" by the New Sneaticle of Gonsolvo
de Cordova, or the Conquest of Grenada ; the splen_
dour of which, with the Music of Reeve, and the
capital perf:rmance of Mrs. WY!“.ow in 2,)raida,
Mrs. ROffey in Inis, and Miss Adnns in Zota ; the
unrivalled Combat between Lara and Alma4)6 by
Betterton and Roberts, together' with the Golden
Firmer, in which is the truly elegant Harlequin and
Dancing of Byrne, and the Columbine of Mrs.
Heinle, joined to: the Erial 'Candidatet',, with the
fine' Oiled 'of the Balloon, and the Dancing of Miss
Adams—these draw forth-the loudest applairse each
evening from every quarter of that- Theatre.
