THE MEATH E.—.—THE IR MAJESTIES, :ICCOM.
panied by the PR I NCESSES AUGUsTA, ELIZABETH,
SOPHIA, and AMELIA', honoured Covent. Garden
Theatre last night with their presence. The dra.
tnatic performances commanded on this occasion
were the Comedy of John Bull,. and the Farce of
The Deaf Lover. The Comedy went off with its
usual eclat, and was supported with unabated spirit
by the Performers, though they have so often ap:
peared in it. The Royal Party were attended by the
Marchioness of BATIK, Lady ELI zAtt ETH and Lady
CHARLOTTE B. WYNN, and by the Marquis of
SAL ISBUR y, as Lord Steward of the Household, the
Earl of CHESTERFIELD, as Master of the Horse,
Generals MANNERS and GREY as' Equerries, and
the usual escort. The usual loyal and patriotic
strains were given by the Vocal Pertbriner:, and
loudly applauded by rt very numerous Audience.
The Royal Party appeared to be in excellent
health.

OP ER A House.---The Guards in the.cout;sset of
the Opera flouse, produced all efft'd red 'red,
and had the advantage of meeting with universal
approbation, excepting- nn tho3e wi;o wish for
riot and confusion. Quote—Would the violent
tneasneesi-ised by Miming Paper, be equall.
agreeable and effvdive ? It would be a great pity
to deprive the youngpvpier at the Opera, of the
opportunity of exhibiting their graces to the Fign.
iantes ; the great objed is, not to offend the Pub.
lic. This oqe6l was completely attained on Tues-
day by the Guards, who now have the satisfa&ion
of enjoying a place, for which a Bond street Beau
would willingly pay double price, if he had it.
We hope that the regulation now established at
the Opera-house, behind the Scenes, will, in future,
prevent the Audience from being insulted, and the
entertainment of the evening destroyed, by drunken
Bucks, and Box-lobby Bullies.
