TO MR. JOHN BULL.
In old times, Friend Jowl, you were thought to hate sense,
But now you're hambugg'd; and trick'd•of your peace;
And Radical Leader,, who mount on your back,
To clinih into notice, make you a sad hark;
And with whip mid with spur, on—on—Yon must go,
To your own and your iitintry's ruin also.
Then, honest Jonv BULL, with a hick and affing-,
Throw these Radicals off, and be true to yOut King;
No longer be dup'd by their cunning 'andart,
But with loyally act a true Briton's part.

Clifton, October, 1814

THE THEA I RES.

DAURT-LANB.—The Comic Opera of Fontnin-
bleat, wets last night brought forward at this
"theatre..—ELLisTos impirted all his usual viva-
city to the character -Of Lackland:—Colonel Epau•
kite was performed by a new candidate, named
MottomiNr, who acqUitted himself at least respect-
ahly.—Mr. 13u/.Ea wets spirited and humorous in
Sir John Bull. We have not room to say more
than 'fiat Miss KELLY'S Dolly Bull was natural
and amusing, that Miss CAP.SW, Mrs. BLAND, and
Miss I'vvav, gave sitong support to the Musical
Depar meta, and that RUSSELL gave a good spe"-
cimen of rustic huniour Tally-ho. The farce
of Post Ten o'Clock enabled MUNDeN and KNIGHT
to operate very forCibly on the• risible faculties of
a very numerous audience.

COVENT-GARDEN.—Mr. AMHERST. who it seems
ha, performed at many Provincial Theatres, last
night made a bold attempt in the character of
Alexander the Great. The success of Mr. KEAN,
with so (natty physical defects, hai induced many
other adventurers to come forward, in hopes,
if dot of' equal popularity, y'et of applause and
encouragement. Mr. AMHERST in figure very
Much resembles Mr. KEAN, but by no means pos.
6tSSES such Marking features, and his voice
is even worse. He mast be acknowledged to
have formed a'jodicious conception of the part,'
thoiigh Iris powers of execution were not corre-
spondent, His voice is 'lreak, and his utterance
is not quite articulate. His action wai altogether
easy, and not ungraceful. Jo small Theatres it is
probable that he might perform with considerable
effect. He received much applause in the earlier
scenes, but was afterwards treated with illiberal
harshness bymatey persons in the Galleries, perhaps,
for one reason, because his tunes were not audible
enough •to reach them, but the generality of the
audience in a .gre•at' degree overcame this hostile
feeling. On the whole, however, Mr. Au-
HIIRST is certainly not go,iiified to make a distin-
guished figure on the Patentee Stage of a London
Theatre.—Mi. Maces/kin was put out Of his pro-
per line in Cattis, though be is too good an Actor
to play.any thing indifferently. Bill EGERTON had
deservedly aCquired credit in the part, and we see
no reason why he should be dispossessed of
it.---Mrs. MEN and Mrs. FAUCIT both ac-
quitted themselves very Well in lio.rana and
Statira. Mre. Cousin*, a respectable Actress, is
much too yoimg for Sisygctmliis. The play, Willi
all its extravagance, gives a fine portait of the
Macedonian Hero, and abounds in poetical spirit
and beauty. •
