I.igiit a new Comedy, entitled Lover,' Re-
j.,:at; du, me prodnelion of the veteran CUSISER-
%eI% pr,duced for the firft time at this
Theatre, of which the following was the call of
charaeters

During the abfence of Major Ittonford on the late
Dutch expedition, where he greatly dillinguithed
himfelf, by Come artifice the heart of Lady Caroline,
the amiable and accomplifhed daughter of Lord
Erville, is eftranged from him, and the promifes
her band to alSir Richard Makola, who does not ap.
pear in the play ; he, however, being a fickle
(wain, foregoes the lady, who feels all her affec-
tions return to the firft objea of them ; the recon-
ciliation of the two lovers, by removing the ob-
ftacles which a high fenfe of honour throws in the
way of each, conftitutes the main bufinefs of the
piece.—What is intended for an underplot, is made
up of the loves of a Kentifh Yeoman, and a young
Lady, the ward of M4or Manfor,i ; and the in-1
fignificancies of the family of the Maidetops, one of
the members of which, Mr. Timothy, is intended
for a humorous charader ; but his whimficalities
were not well relifhed by the audience, any more
than were the blunt formalities of General Highoure,
a fort of folemn Merfiet.
Through the two firft aCts of Lover: Rehlastiont
the audience were attentive, and the piece teemed
to promife intcreft ; but every fucceeding fcene be.
came more and more languid, till at length the
murmurs of difapprobation were fo loud, that it
was with difficulty the performers were heard ; it
however, be admitted, that they all exerted
themfelves to the utmoft ; but on giving out the
piece for a fecond reprefentation on Saturday, BAN-
NISTER was not fuffered to proceed. On Mr. Colt-
AEILLAND'S account, we profit's our forrow, in con•
fideration of his former very meritorious claims.
In the play before us are Come affeeting tuna-
tions and feveral admirable fentiments, but the
whole feem but the gleanings of the port folio of
a man of genius, arranged with little Andy Tnc
Prologue indeed appealed to the candour of the
audience, chiefly on the ground of the author's
pall Cervices. The Epilogue had nothing to
recommend it to particular notice. The levity
of Mrs. POPE'S drefs in Lady Carotene gave Tome
offence.

A palrage in the play, complimentary to that
martyr to the caufe of his country, General Asta
clumsy, was received with an enthuilaftic built of
applaufe.

IncLinou continuing indifpofed, the part < f
Madvails was undertaken Lift night atCovent Ga -
der. by HILL, who lung the fongs in a refpeltab'e
Ityle. Mrs. LLlNcrou'i Pelly afforded, as ufual
a moll deleCtahle treat, and Mrs. MARTYR'S Luty
was uuly excellent and effective.
COORF, of Covent G.irdcn Theatrg, is gone to
Portfmouth, to perform therc a few nights.

The following account of the carnival at Paris
is copied from the letter of a correfpondent, dated
February 22.
" I entered Paris on Sunday, and I find it is
flill the holiday with nearly three-fourths of the
people. Every carriage on the Boulevards was
filled with Turks. Tartars, Chinefe, Nuns, Sulta-
nas, &c. all molt fuperhly and charaCteriftically
dreffed. From the humbler cabrinlit, there flared
' the bead of a bear, a lion, an eagle, or a monkey;
and fome of the former fo well executes, that it
required fome ftrength of nerve to meet their fud-
den approach. The fquare of the Louvre, the
gardens of the Thuilleries, and every other public
place, was filled with groupes of the fame defcrip-
tion. In the ftreets, nothing was to be teen but
fhoals of the younger fry flying in every direCtion
before Harlequin's wooden (words and the cobler's,
with here and there a foubrette faintly avoiding
the clumfy embrace of Pierrot.
" This is the revival of the Carnival, an silage
which may be traced up to the earlier ages of Chrif-
tianity. It oommences the week before Lent, and
ends with Mardi :nu, or Shrove Tuefday. It has
been difcontinued, in a great degree, fince the Re-
volution, and was particularly &countenanced by
the timid and unftable Directory, who faw, in
every allemblage of the people, nothing but infur-
reaion. Thefe Calve exertions, it teems, on the
contrary, to be the policy of the Confider Govern-
ment to encourage.
" You are not to fuppofe that this fcene of gaiety
and merriment, lb natural to the French people,
dotes with the parade of the day. On the con-
trary, the Opera opens its fplendid faloon for the
higher dalres it eleven o'clock at night, and the
dance is kept up until the morning.
" The Theatres, in the mean time, are not ne-
gletaed. There are not let's than ty of them now
open, and all are filled every night; but the (hanger,
who wi fLes ta fee the falbionable world, mull equal-
ly refrain from going on Sunday evening, and on
that of the Decade. On there occafions the Gen:
csinme ii find vacate their feats, and they are occu-
pied by holiday folks of different defcriptions. It
WAS intimated to me on Saturday, that the Firft
Conful was to be at the Opera Buffa, where, in con-
fequence, it was neceffary to take an early place.
There was nothing on the outfide, to indicate this
vifit, except that twofoldiers were placed to prevent
foot paffengers from the Boulevards going down
the Rue Favart. In every other direction, the ac-
cefs was uninterrupted. The Conful took his
place in the &ft row over the loge: grille', and was
accompanied by Madame BONAPARTE, Mad. L.
3011•PARTE, (late Mademoifelle BEAUHARBOIS,)
Genera, DUROC, CAFARELLI, and feveral other
Officers. He was loudly applauded on his en-
trance ; after which he took his feat in the back of
the box, and the performance commenced. The
piece was La Irdlaiela ratite".
Extra& of a Letter from a Gentleman belong.
ing to Glafgow, who.refided twenty-two years In
Jamaica, dated Trinadad, Dec. ty, 18ot.
"We are in great glee at the return of peace,and
the papers declare you to be fo likewife.—This
ifland being retained in our polreffion, will add im.
menfely to our commerce and manufactures. It
is by far the eatieft wrought and kindlieft foil for
the fugar cane I ever faw. It is a capital place
for a young adventurer with a fmall flock to be-
;in with ; and had 1 not been broiling fo long in
the torrid zone, it would not require much to
tempt me to dip in the foil and fit down four or
rive yews. Many adventurers are expected from
the other iflands ; and no doubt, in a very few
years, it wiil be a very flourifhing colony, and
sometimes I am tempted to think, be very lit-
tle, if any thing Ibort of the importance of Ja-
maica. I know many of my friends
would flare at this atlbrtion, and little doubt I
might have boggled at it mytelf; but as it is not
my cuflom to be blind to thong, flubborn, felf-
evident faCts, although againft a favourite theory,
io I do not hefitate in laying this ifland will tread
WI on the heels of Jamaica, in every point of
view, if not get the ftart of it. Its capability and
facility for Weft India produce, cannot be denied,
and its contiguity to the Spanifh main is of much
confequence to certain manufaCtures. As a place
of ftrength, it is capable, from its &nation, of
my improvement. That fcourge of the Jamaica
planters, a hurricane, is unknown here ; chore
vermin, ratsothat deltroy fuch immenfe quan-
tities of canes in Jamaica, are, I am told, never
'ten in a cane piece here ; and what mutt be of
mat importance, the communication between
america and this, is much later than between Ja-
maica and America ; and the difference in a voy-
:ge Item ten Britain and Jamaica or Trinidad,
.rill bear uo Lomparifon."
