THRATRES Theatres last night
•tatted V, its► rival Dramas, derived front the same
source, viz. the popular Romance, entitled Ivan-
hoe. The play of Drury• Lane Theatre, is named
Htbrew, end !but at Covent-Garden by the
name of the original Novel. Both of these
brarnas are brought forward in a very mag-
nificent style, and the general acting in boil►
, Theatres was well ceJculated to give effect to
the respective representations. Mr. Keats and
Mrs. Wasr chiefly distinguished themselves at
brtiry-Lane Theatre, the first in the part of an
aged Hebrew, and the other in that of his
banghter.—Tise:Drama of Covent-Garden was
ehiefly indebted to the acting of 111 r. CEIRLES

and DvauseT. There was great splendour in
the scenery, &c., and the conflagration on the
•close was particularly magnificent. This piece is
+store operatical than that at the other Theatre.
The music was composed, selected, and adapted
by Dr. KITCHENIIR. a gentleman well known
'•s an intelli:4ent- and skilful Amateur of taste. in
culinary matters as -well as in music. Mr.
Nagy added some accompaniment• for the Band,.
Both Houses were well attended, best particu.
Ltily Covent-Garden ; and. both pieces, wh'en
announced for to-morrow, received the sanction
10 a warm assent from the audience in general.

ROYAL ACADEMY.—Mr. Soabia delivered his
k'eccid Lecture last night. He conscience() with

titre, to study with the utmost, attention the ad-
Inirahle works of Greece and Italy. He proceeded
to hotice several ancient and modern structures,
Ind commented on the defects as well as beauties of
the latter. Respecting modern edifices, he noticed
one essential error, that of giving all architectural
decoration,
3.he learned Professor then voted the due propos.-

'"Ks, illustrating his remarks with beantifill draw-
-I,llgs of elevations, ground plans, &c &C. We
'ave.Oeither spree nor knowledge Sufficient to at-

concluded with a very liberal and elegant
t,(lmplitilent to the President. The Professor was

FOR THE SUN.

Ma. Entrotb—Every.body is talking of the mnrdea of the
Duke de Etiaal,.nod of its probable consequences, but every
body is not acquainted with the nature of the French-People,
and the extent of mischief of which a proper consideration
of the subject would warrant the prognostication. A few re-
marks on the state of Parties in France, on their Leaders, on
the conduct of M. DECAZES, and on the strange infatuation
of the Monarch, may not he unacceptable at this moment.
The English, who are deeply interested in the issue of the
passing events in that Country may very reasonably form
their own conclusions of the course that they will take, and
of the conduct which it would become the British Gnvernment
to observe in a crisis, which, however it may he delayed by
intrigue, and the purchase of the Representatires, must ulti-
mately burst over that distracted (-utintry. There &rein
France three acknowledged Parties---the I?)lea Royalists,
the Ministerial, and the Liberal; the preponderance.pf.power
has naturally enough been with the Ministerialieta, for two,
reasons—first, because they hare generelly been thouglii:
more favourable to the Liberals than to the Qtra:Rovaiisti'i
and, secondly, because acornearatirely small sum of money,
properly distributed, will always secure a majority in the
(heather of Deputies. It is a well known fact, that. Lodi,'
the XVlth was compelled, fora long time previous to the
tat destruction of his power t lie Jacobins, to purchase tire'
votes of a considerable number of Menibersorhenhf wished'
to carry a point of interest, both as to the safety of the Croelii
and the welfare of the People; and what with the loose dove

had, although their influence, generally speaking, was only
exercised fur the honour of the Monarch, whereas that of M,
Decazes, and his Colleagues, has invariably tended, whatever
May have been the intention, to the sacrifice of the ft iendly
understanding which ought to exist between a Sovereign and
leis People. The word liberal, a+ applied to that part of the
Opposition in the Chamber, is a very cetuarehensive term,

The Republican& are of two classes—those who really
think a Itepubl'can form of government would restore
then fallen greatness ; and those who, although they
do not think it could last many years, desire it, be-
cause they wish the trial made. and consider ;that before
it could be .1v destroyed,ADO the Bonrhons again
recalled, tlic younger Bnonaparte would be old_ enough to
assume the reins of Governnient.. :Nit the Liberals carefully
conceal their opinions in the Chatnhi;r,and most of them are
very lavish of their abase of Buranaparte; some as a feiitt to
deceive the Monarch, end ethers corrace2nntrf their Republi-
eau principle.—in the Chamber, „the Buonapartists and Re-
publicans amongst the Liberals are as 4 to 9—amongst the
People generally, it' the estimate be taken en masse, the opi-
nions ma:- 1-)e thus stated :—lltionapar,otit'e, par exeellenCe;
and Buonapartists, par principe, and Republicans of both
classes, two-thirds ; eonoittitional Royalists, one sixth.;
ritra-Royalists, one thirtieth. My residence in diffeient
parts of •Fritnee, and the access I enjoyed to all the Political
Parties, have enabled in. to give this estimate with a consi-
derable degree of confidence. have classed the Miami-
partiets end Republicans together, because there a pretty.
strong approximation. The Buonapartists would support a
Republic, of which either of the Buonapartes could be the
Leader, and the Republicans would heartily acknowledge Na-
poleon as their Chief or Consul. A common observer, whose
knowledge of France extends only to the information derived,
from a trip to Paris, and a lounge in the Palais Royal, would
question the truth of this statement ; but there .are some
Englishmen het ter, informed on the subject. The French are,
generally spen',,ing, very wary in their communication with
the En,:!isit, and many stern Republicans and ardent Buono

partist, .peati olu•nly in favoor of the Bourbon• ; hot .‘they
hare meetings and tallying-signs, which can only he known

by particul.a ,pportiinities. These meetings are seldom re,

gularly appointed, but the assembly is formed from some pre-
,Tions indirect understanding; as each person enters the
euftee-room he holds his hat so that the lining of it may be
sten, or plays with his seals, turning the stones -upwards.
Wben the bat is lined tricolute, or there are three seals of

different colours, the person is known to be a Bnonapartist,

and a communication takes place between him and the cons
luny. This is rather reserved at first, but becomes more fa.

maim- as he advances proofs of his •ircrrity. From this Party

the King, nicotinic, can expect nothing hit enmity, althuugh-

tb. perfidy or folly of certain Ministers has made him t)e-
Hero that their opinions may be changed by a conciliatory or

compromising conduct: His experience and known good on.

with this Party. This, however, was the only course he could
