(Extract of a Letter.)—Mademoiselle Cu."
from the Italian Theatre, has made her debut at
the Fre9ch Opera-house, in Fernand Cala, and
been received with applause. The connoisseurs
hope she may in the end produce a partial reform,
and drive from the stage that noisy tasteless music
which has been so long in possession of it. The
partisans of the yells of the Derivis, the Lebruni)
and the Bronchus, though obliged to admire her
science, and the natural sweetness of her voice,
which on this occasion were not overwhelmed by
the orchestra, yet maintained that she could
never scream loud enough for the Vestale or Dido,
and added, that if she appeared a French woman
(which she is by birth) at the Bouffes, she was an
Italian at the Academie Royale. Fernand Cortes
was followed by Paul et Virgink,in which ballet the
incontestable superiority of the picturesque groups
and finished dances of this country brought forci-
hly into my mind the mediocre performances which
I had been a spectator of this season at the
London Opera-house, of Coulon, who, though
here deservedly on the first line of second rite
dancers, falls there beneath his natural level by
his singerie of Paul, which on this stage he would
not venture to attempt, while Mademoiselle
Brocard is in London what she was here, in the
category of fine women, au pen passees, but a
very indifferent chorogrvhc indeed. It is Com.
plimentary to Mr. Fibers' company, to put its
performances on a level with those of the
