ILLUMINATIONS.

DRORT•LANITittATIVE WAS fuperb beyond the powers of .err..
feriptior. The inunenfe fire of the build ing, and its towerin;
vatiou above all thofe that furround it, ictorded the proprktur4
prodigious advantages, which they improved with the earmark
titbit. The inhabitants of Athens or of Rome Lever re-
ceived more pleafure from a naumaehia, or a fight of gla-
diators, than the populace of London kit night from Dray-
Lane Theatre. During the day the Unrin .Fttg was dif-
played from the fununit of the building, but towards evening,
this was replaced by a model of a man of war, fo large th4t
it is matter of the greateft aftonillment how they were able to
hoilt it to fuel, a height. Flags and Retainers floated from her
topmafts. The front in Ruffel-ftritet was illuminated with grt3t
tafte. At the top was a Dow, with an olive branch ; farther
down a Crews, odd, (prigs of laurel, and the letters G. R. and
below the word Pt.aga in lamps of the greactt brilliancy. It
was on the welt front, bowever, that pains and expence had been
chiefly lavilbed, and to be Pure nothing fo grand was ever before
Peen in London. Five colonades of the Corinthian order rrfe
from below to the top of the digs which forms the box lobby.
and teemed to fupport the whole. between them there were
trastfparencies exhibiting Pra.e, Britannia, Fellff, and other ap
propriate figures. Among them was &ft, a very large and beau-
tiful tranfparency of 'the implements of War. Cannon were
teen vomiting forth their deitritetive contents, and the dead and
the dying appeared at a diftance. contrail thus proctored
heightened the effedt to a wonderful degree. This wax illr•
mounted by a Wbeat Sbraf, and the words 14.4 e and Plenty, in
eharadters feeraingly each three feet lung.
Olive branches extended a great way on each tide. There
was next a Cireskr Traajearrwy, with the arms and embb•ins
of the United Kingdom. Above this appeared a brilliant In^e-
rial Craws with the two letters C. R. ; and at the top of all v. a;
an ineftinUilly fine tranfparent painting of a Dsve, flying di.sv
wards, and bearing an Olive Irailib in its mouth. The number
of lamps was aftonifhing ; they were beautifully variegated
and uncommonly vivid. But the chief merit of the decor:-
tioni was their tableful arrangement, and of this thicriptiat
we can convey no idea. Though the kale was fu great, a COM..
pkte frtunetry and proportion were prefervcd, as if the who;r
had not exceeded the fine of a picture frame. The molt per-
fedt ftmplicity was conjoined with the molt inCUnCIAVAWC 111:11.
nificence. The fpeflators were !truck with the preparations, but
when the lamps were lighted, the Theatre refembled the cattle
of a Genius, Inch as we read of in the Thuufand and One.
About ten o'clock the mob, which then filled all the adjnir-
ing arena, was furprized with the firing of a ky-rocket from
the roof of the Theatre. This was followed by fplendid fire-
works, which hatted near two hours. They were conducted
by a firit rate artift, and from being la off front fuch a flare.

they had before witneffed. At hilt the Chip placed by the tie
of Apollo began to open upon another, computed u''cumbultilde
materials. A mock engagement enfucd, and the latter blew or,
!hewing all the beauties of Chinefe fire. The finale was truli
grand.

The crowd teftilled by loud and repeated hozzas theft' at'
miration and their gratitude. Their feelings mutt have be. n
participated by thoufands at the sailtance of fon:ra: auks front
the fpot. The illuminations and the file-works wi.uld
perhaps, to greater advantage at Fulham, Wanansurth, Kov.
Richmond, and all to the weftward of the metrupoli.

COVENT GARDEN TNEATRE till-played a finely execimd
tranfparency, under which was written '• London the Mart
the World." On each fide were two telltale figure., etillat
tical of Induftry and Commerc:, The lamps dlplayed r!:c
letters G. R. and a Crown, and two mouuments,
[mall tranfparencies. krom this Theatre A number of filo
works were thrown up during the night.

bappit ft elfed. Nhe tranfparency was cmbellithed by a bril-
liant frame of double lamps, the principal part of which were
yellow, here and there fiocered with different colours, which-
gave a variety that at once enlightened the Odium and relieved
the eye.

The BANK was beautiful beyond dcfcriptlon, having alto-
gether 14,c00 lamps difplard with the greatefttafte. We gave
a !WI dcfcription of the tranfpacencies in our Paper of Tnefday.

INDIA-Houst.—Under the top pediment was a crown bf
William yellow lamps . the cornices of the fix fuperb pillars
were beaded richly with lamps, and each pillar we. tocirsled
at equal diftanees, with a triple bead of the fame; the intervals
between the pillars elegantly feftooned ; oppofite to the win-
'low over the door, and bet*een the two central pillars, a magni-
ficent Star; between the two pillars on each fide the central
ones G. R.; beneath thit, two partitions, containing a double
bead of lamps. and under the whole theword PEACE, in very
large letters, one between each pillar; the five windows on
each tide the front had a double feitoon of lamps, topped and
bottomed with four lamps in the %ape of a leaf to form the
finilk to each.

The Ala Orrice was fancifully decorated with varie-
gated Limps. embracing the words "Peace, Commerce, and
Literature;' with appropriate devices.
The Posy-Orrice had a Crown over the letters" G. it." and
lamps round all the windows in front.
Ltoro's Cor r a E-Housa made a very (plena(' appearance :
the whole front was illuminated in a ft* of great tape and va-
riety. The two end windows were beaded with a double row
of lamps, which reprefented a curtain fettooned at top and bot-
tom the (read Window from each end contained a tranfparen-
cy emblematic of the bleanp of peace, a wheat *leaf, a plough,
and various fruits of the earth featured around in luxuriant
abundance; the other windows in the front were beaded with
a border forming a Gmilar curtain with there at the end ; but in
the centre of each hung a large branch formed by green lamps.
This wss altogether a most brilliant and pkafing fpnetaele.

The TRIN IT Y House, on lbw a Hitt.: The whole of the
front ihewed two Anthers. a Crews, fupported with Tridents
and two Stan ; the teJ.eafeeridk was very beautiful; a great
number of the molt refpedable people were sifembled in the
gatlen (mating the houfe without being incommoded.
The tlro so s's BA r Roust, in Fenehurelt-iireet, had a very
briUi at difpLy of lamps.

Sours Sza Hoots exhibited a tafteful difplay of variegated
lamps wie.a a crown, and the word " Pcaexi" in the centre.
The TILIASUCT, in ST. pisits's Nat—illuminated.
The PAT-Orsini at the HORSE GUMS DS was alto brilliantly
giumirwed with the Crowe and the initials G. R. the whole of
the windows in front were hung with lamps.
The Holm GUARDS hid two Stars on the wings, which
were (probably from the fcareity of lamps) perfectly blank.
The device in the centre was grand; but from the unfortur.ate
effret of the wind, it was impoifible to keep the lamps burning
altogether.

The ORDNAWCII OPTICS in Palace-yard, Wu bandforaely
Ohuninaced.

The ADMIRALTTAt the top a brillittrit crown, underneath
a radiated liar over an anchor, and a row of lamps on each
Gde, with flans: mum extending the whole length attic entrance
of the gates.

Some handfome tranfparencies were exhibited at Mr. Kiwis
to Palace-yard.
Ma. OTTO'S Hovsit-o-in Portman-(quart, was the objcet of
univerfal attradion, and curiaty was amply gratified, and was
fuecceded by admiration. The whole front of the houfe was
in a blare of light ; and if any cenfure may be uttaed upon this
claboratedifplay, there was Sande to opprefs and bewilder
the eye. It wasa awe of fire, rather than the clear &sag
started feparatioo d different parts combining in a general el-
fed. The wind blowing pretty teem, blew out fame of the
tamps at thitop.• The front was covered foam the top to the
bottom. The following is an explanation of the drake -
From the level of the fquare rote a projeding colons& Of the
lonic order, with cortcfponding platters, and garland' of ♦ad-
ous colours. The entaldasitre, richly decorated. was divided in
the centre by a tablet on which Is formed the word AMITY.—
The upper part of the ftruenre was adorned by four pilafters,
terminating in arches ; the middle arch forminra feparato body
teaching to the cornice, which was delineated by coloured
lamps, from which ifued a very vivid Lime. Above the cor-
nice was a (tar of the molt brilliant colours, its magnitude pro-
portioaate to the height at which it was plated, crowned the
whole of this r Imporary fabric.
Before the fide arches were placed two Tara, of an antique
Norm; the interftices between which were filled up with laurel
trees, formed by green lamps, and the letters O. R. and P. R.
%mounted by a Royal and Civic Crown. In the middle arch.
above the cornice, was a large tranfparency, reprefatting Eng-
land and France. with their varioue attributes, in the ad of
uniting their hands, in token of amity, before an altar dedicat-
ed to liastaril. Over it, in the centre, appeared the word
Paw. with olive branches around it.

The whole was certainly very grand and Bain. In contri-
vance and exCCII6OII, and unquettionably in expence,it was the
Brit exhibition on the maim. Befides the lamps and figutes,
the di. ct was heightened by a &rubbery of real trees, which
bad been collated on purpoie.

Lord Hawexsiloav did not emulate the fplendour of his
rival negotiator. His Lorcilltip's bade in Backvilleaftreet was
illuminated in a very plain ftlie. A Itring of variegated
lamps extended don; the balcony, aldbiting funply the Rua*
C. R. furmotnted by the Croton.
In Caveneifh-fquare, Mr. Hoee's hook was biter the moll
eonfpicuous objcdt. The from, which looks into the Square,
was divided into a fort of parallelogram, in the in do of which
was the word Perce.in printed letters, one in each window of
the firft Rory. Above was the Crown and the King's initials;
there were two neat branches of olives. This dllplay had a
fobilantial air. It truck us, however, that the whole bad
fornewhat the appearance of a large well gilt bound book.
The form was too tiff for beauty. The front in Harley-ftreet
was well illuminated with a defplay of lamps in each window,
in the lhape of a triangle.
Mr. pocison, a watchmaker, nearly oppolite the Admi-
ralty, had a device which attradied much notice. It was the
perfedt model of the Sea N ~ of no guns, with her pendants
fling, fo formed by the to of the maker that It keened to'
nee at anchor. The weed rife; and falls, curvets and (wings,
in the moll complete imitation of a real tip at lea. The
whole is the died of clock work, and affords a happy fpeci-
men of the artift's ingenuity and tate. Around it was a cir-
cle of variegated lamps; above,the letters G. A. with a Crews.
Below the (hip are the words dellow's Glsey. At a diltance,

House, in Pall• Mall, was decorated with much
tafte and fplendour. The Coffce-houfe, called the
Qiren's Larder, in Sr. James's Street, was very
to efully illuminated alfo.
The Sabfeription Houfes, in St. James's-ftreet

large letters.—The London Coffee houfe, Lud-

There were many private devices, in which uric
as well as humour were (hewn. Tranfparencies in
general fail, as they neceffarily muft, amiclit the
fubduing glare of fnrrounding lights. In !nine in-
fiances, however, they were pregnant with fancy.
6ne of the molt tvhimfical was a Tranffrarna Coach,
drawn by four holies it was an admirable con-
trivance adapted to the Liverpool Coach, on the
top of which it was placed. The tranfparency was
as large as the body of the coach, and turned on
a pivot, by which it neceffarily moved round, and
(hewed on every fide dillina devices.

Few of the fquares or even flreets, prefented in
the enferrehle any very good effed. It was rather
the exertions and the fuecefs of individuals that
was praifed, than any general effete. Berkeley.
fquare was fombre, the lights being too few and
feeble for its extent. Grofvenor.fquare was alto
gloomy. Hanover fquare was pretty well on
the whole, though it contained nothing parti-
cularly (biking. The fame may be faid of Bed.
ford, Bloom(bury, and Leiceller-fqUares. Bond-
fireet difplayed a great many lamps, and (hewed a
great blaze of light. I 1 feveral of the great fquares,
a number of (linking torches fupplied the place of
more elegant illumination. One or two houfes in
Pall Mall, particularly that of the Marquis of
Bocitisouam, difplayed only a few twinkling
candles, which reludantly joined in the general
illumination.

There was however, as much voluntary contri-
bution of candle-ends, and as much tale in the
difplay of them, as nfually are to be found in this
metropolis on occafinns of this fort.

The honfe of x Bookfeller, of Pall.mall, in con-
fillency with the fame fpirit of anti-pacific darknefs,
which diftingnithed it on the former illuminations
for the fingnature of the preliminaries, remained
on this occalion inexorably *arm. The mob,
with equal continency, took umbragr, and vented
their indignation on the windows, lathes, (butters,
and every thing about the front of the houfe that
was not impregnable to bludgeons and paving
Bones.

The number of people moving about the Rreets
mull have been immenfe ; in every quarter they
were crowded. and in fome it was fcarce poflible
to pals. We ihould imagine that there were on
the pavement in the courle of the dly 4 or 500,000
people. The evening was favourable. and the
(beets perfeelly dry and comfortable to pedeftrians.

Many of thofe who went round in carriages
would be mi ferably difappointed. 1 In feveral places,
particularly in Portman-fquare, carriages were
completely wedged in, and we &mild think that
thofe in the ;aide would be compelled to fit in the
lireets for feveral hours.

Peace being now fully confirmed, the intercourfe
between Great Britain and the Continent has been
declared entirely free. Official notice to this effea
has been given at the feveral ports, and, " that
his Majeay's licence is no longer neeetTary to en-
able Bruin: fubjeas to go to France, Holland," &c.
The Royal ftandard was yefterday hoifted at
Portfmouth, and guns fired all round the garri.

place there.
The meafure of dilbanding the City Militia re-
giments is poftponed for farther confederation.
Yefterday at Guildhall, Sir W. Heist refigned

dennis, and St. Mawes, Callles, which was re.
turned by the Isis. She then failed for Gibraltar
with a fair wind at North.

Ye fferday morning the firft battalion of the third
regiment of Foot Guards, who ferved with fuch
diftinguifhed honour in Egypt, had a field day in
Hyde Park, when the Commanding Officer of the,
regiment, Colonel Geosv swot in a very handfome
fpeech thanked the battalion for their gallant

It is raid that upwards of twenty fail of mer-

The company were fo highly gratified with their
evening's amufement, that it was two o'clock yet.-
terday morning ere they departed.
The New York Mercantile ileivertifer of the ad
of April rays, on the authority of Philadelphia
papers :

• "a It is reported that advice, have been received from Cape
Francois as late as the Bth Much, which Rate that Touffaint's
camp bad been attacked and routed. immenfe daughter was
made, and the difeornfited party retired in contufion."
A letter from a Gentleman at Baltimore, to his
friend in Philadelphia, in the Mil, ildureyer of
the 31 ft, mentions the dreadful attack on 'l', es-
SAINT'S pofition, related in General LECLERC'S
laft difpatches.
• It is Hated as intelligence of the 4th March, that
after being thrice repulfed, the French were finally
vidorious. It is added this vielory, though dearly
purchafed, is of much importance, as the terrified
negroes have fled in all diredtions; nor will any in•
fluence of ToussAtiir have any effea in rallying
them again'to the Randard of difiinCtion. The war
may be confidcred as really finifhed, though Rill
nominally in exillence. This intelligence is from
St. Domingo of the 4th March, as late as the lalt
French dilpatches.

The Mole furrendered to the French without
the frnalleit refinance, and with the greaten joy of
the inhabitants.

The furrender of Maurcpas is fully confirmed,
but it is faid he brought in with him only isoo
Cofmopolites, as the American letter calls the
Negroes, for what reafon we are utterly at a lois
to conceive.

The following mtfcellaneous articles we hare
extraaed :

The New York Commercial Advertiser mentions
a thing we have not heard of before, viz. " That
the Portuguefe Government had contracted fur a
Loan with the houfe of Hors and Co. and I. and
F. BARING, of London, for one million and a half.
This goes to France. The Government gave, he.
fides their own fecttrity, that of feveral of the weal-
thieft individuals of Lifbon."

It may be interefting to our commercial readers
to know, that in confequence of American pro-
duce being low at Antigua, and no cafe to be had
for their cargoes, the Americans at St. John's, An-
tigua, had determined not to receive rum in pay-
ment at the currant price there. A meeting of
the Planters and American Maiters had been con-
vened, to fix the price of rum.
An important motion was made by Mr. Gref-
wold, in the Houle of Reprefentativcs on the 13th
March, in the fhape of a refclution. That it is
proper to make provilion by law towards indemni-
fying the merchants of the United States for the
loffes fultained by them from French spoliation, •
the claims for which loffes have been renounced by
the final ratification of the Convention with France,
as publifhed by pzoclamation of the Pi cfident 0.
the United States."—This motion was fet by
a considerable majority.
The Bookfellers of Philadelphia propose to hold
a Book Fair at New York, on the zit of June !
New York will thus become another Leipfic.
