THE THEATRES.

DRURY.LANE.—The Duke and Duchess-of
GLOUCESTER. honoured this Theatre with their
presence, last night, to see the Opera of Ar-
taxerxes, and the Farce of Frightened to Death.
Their Royal Highnesses sat in their private box.
The Duke was received on his entrance with
warm attestations of loyalty. The Duchess, with
modest diffidence, remained behind, but on a
general call for her Royal Highness, she appear-
ec .when the reception so strongly testi-
fied universal esteem and respect as to overpower
her feelings'; she actually fainted, and was re-
. moved from the box till she was sufficiently re-
covered to attend to the performanceS.
COVENT GArtnEN.—The Duke and Duchess of
CLARENCE, last night, accompanied bythe Princess
AUGUSTA, honoured this Theatre with their
presence, to see the Play of The Stranger, and
the Pantomime of Friar Bacon. Their Royal
Highnesses sat in the Kiig's private box.—The
Duchess of KENT, accompanied by the Princess
FEODORE, honoured the same Theatre with their
presence. The Royal Duchess
,and the Princess
sat in Prince 1.4.0r0r,0's box, adjoining the
KING'S box.

Letters from Bahia were yesterday received to
2'2d January, ten days later than the date
of our previous accounts, but they are entirely
silent as to any changes. Advices were 'also
received from Rio Janeiro to the 23d January,
which mention that every thing was then
quiet; the Governmentheld Councils almost every
day, but their object and results 'did not trans-
pire, though it was generally thought that these
frequent deliberations related to :.the affairs
of the mother-country, a subject on wh►ch the
policy of the King seemed undecided. Count
Paltnella, since his arrival, had been very active,
yet his exertions had produced no plan ; indeed
the accounts from Portugal •pouring in so fast upon
them, and the imposing aspect of things there,
placed the King in .a very serious dilemma, and
made him pause before he took any step. It
was understood that a large portion of the Euro-
pean troops who had been conveyed out there,
lied received permission to return home. This
determination was, however, rather owing to ap-
prehensions entertained of them, than because
their time of serving in the Brazils had expired.
(Morning Chronicle)
NEW LIGHT.--Mr. A DIVIiON relates the following
story, which is too applicable to mostof the Opposi-
tion brawlers of the present period :—A Gentleman
made a very long and, melancholy complaint to
the Duke of BUCKINGHAM when he was in great
power at Court, of several- public grievances.—
The Duke, after having given him a very patient
hearing,
_said,' My dear friend, this is but too
true; but I have thought of an expedient. which
will set all things right, and that very soon."
His friend asked him what it was ? " You
must know," said the Duke, " there's a place
of five hundred pounds a year, fallen. this very
morning, of which I intend putting, you in pos-
session." The Gentleman thanked his Grace,
went away satisfied, and thought the nation the
happiest under Heaven during the whole-Ministry.
The. Duke of RtcumoNn is now completely re-
covered from the effects of his late alarming ac-
cident.

The 'Duke of WELLINGTON is expected. to
leave town this week, 'on a visit to his MAJESTY,
