SIR,

IT is well kn•twn that. the French, Write going,
into aeliop both at sea and on shore (whatever their
prattice may be on oth.l. occasions), do ,thett drink
-very freely of brandy, by Way of necessary prepa.
-rative. Not only their private &defiers, but their.
Officers, taken Prisoners, in Egypt, were d
emon-
strative proofs of this, and the custom is no less
prevalent with them at sea. Does not the late off:e
of the French Officers, to embark in the same Ship
.with BONAPARTE for this Country, bear marks of
a 'Pot.valiant cOnceptiou ? It was composed. at
diluter party. Or, der these Officers think it may •
contribute to their safety being in did bane ship

ViiRUS.

We have repeatedly-state.l the obvi,us policy of
—immediately ordering Reprisals against Spain,
cause that Power is virtually at War with n, at the
present moment, in consequence of her Treaties
with France, and'we have endeavoured to convince
Government of the propriety of this measure. We
have not heard however that any steps have yet
been taken towards its execution: We have the
more to regret this, as Spain is getting Lynne
without interruption, her immense trewhires from
South America, which will no doubt soon rind their
way into the Comular Treasury for the purpose of
carrying on the War against this Country. Every
principle of self-presvrvation, as well as policy,
authorizes the capture of Spanish Vessels and if
orders to that effeel are delayed even a week 1, tiger)
they may be, tou hue.

THE THEATRE.--.Mr. ELL IsTON last night re.
peatell hisperformance of Richard the Third, 141 the
'Haymarket Theatre, before a numerous audience.
We must again hear testimony in ftvour of the gond
sense and manly spirit which charateriied his re.
presentation. of this very difficult part, but we intr.4
also again ohjeCt to the length .of his poihes, and the
appearance of art which in.iiked his transitions.
the passages whi,:h required boldness :10
were well.expre:.sed, hat- ware nut duly sustained, tOr
he smith:6ly descended into sgdemn under...tom,' that
were.,hardtst.audible. As his conception of the text
in general displayed so rotteht.indgrnent, we c%-till
ncit tiou,Wonder that.. that judgment wilt; not oni.
formly observable,, and that so much genuine spirit
should so often be .interrupted by an. appaiiiiike of
elaborate coldness and precision.

CVlairs hav been playing with great
succebs, at Nessie4ktle-upon.Tyne, in a range Of
Charmers very well suited to his abilitit,s, and
whiclr.ho had few • opp4tuaitiea of performing in
Ltsndorr. •

• The new arrangement for the contlua of Drury.
Lane Theatre promises to be highly advantageous
to that property.. Preparations for next se on are
already on foot, and. will be vigorcusly-continuett .
through-th,e summer.

Great tipprovements in thiappearance of Covent.
Garden Theatre are to t,,ke place before the open..
lag of next season. The embellishments are to be
altered according to a plan 'calculated to give in.
creased beauty and conyenienoe to the interior.
Miss De CAMP is. Liid to have entered into an
engagement with the Manager of Covent
Theatre.

The raturn of Mrs. GLoyes to Covent Garden
Theatre has excited no slight degree of stirpriso in,
the Aramatic World, and no body has been able to
discover the clause of this unexpeded•event.
It is supposed that Covent.Gattlen Theatre, by
the prodigious success of job,/ ./.104//, netted no less
than Ten Thousand Pounds.
