FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE

SURREY THEATRE.

INDIA BOARD, FEB. 9.

His Majesty-has been 'graciously pleased to permit the Officers of
the late maritime service of the East India Company to attend his
Majesty's Levees in their accustomed uniforms, and to bear the
same nominal rank as heretofore.

Last-night a new tragedy, in five acts, called the Avenger,
was prciduced at this theatre,, and received throughout by a
crowded house with every mark of approbation. The plot
and incidents are founded upon the desolation occasioned by
the wars between Catholics and Lutherans (Protestants) in
Germany, about 1632. Wallenstein, Duke of Friedland
(Maitland), one of the greatest Generals of his age, led the
Imperial troops through all the horrors of a religious war. In
their zeal to re-establish ecclesiastical property they committed
the most dreadful excesses. The castle of Welder (Butler)
having been attacked and destroyed, he becomes the avenger
of his own wrongs and those of his suffering fellow Protes-
tants. Secluded in the woods and forests, he encounters and
kills all the Austrians in his way. His prowess is so great that
none can withstand him. Deprived of reason, and a wanderer,
he is looked upon as a supernatural or evil spirit, and conse-
quently the dread of all but the members of the Reformed
Church, in whose cause he fights. The language is good,
and the emotions of vengeance well described. Butler in some
instances was extravagant in his declamation ; but upon the
whole the part was ably sustained. Miss Williams, from the
Norwich Theatre, made her first appearance on this stage.
She is a talented actress, and supported the part of Agnes
with good effect. In person she is en bon point, but interest-,
ing and genteel in her acting. Miss Watson, in Editha, had
little to do, but it was done well. The curtain fell amidst a
general burst of applause, which continued until Butler made
his appearance, bowed, and retired.
