THEATRES.

THEATRE, DRURT-LANE.•-011 Saturday, Mr.
COLLINS, recently of the Southampton Theatre,
made his &ft appearance before a London audi-
ence in the parts of 7.1641, in the few; and Robin
Roughage', in the farce of Fortune': Frolids. In
both he difplayed great comic talents ; in the lat
ter particularly. Perhaps there will not be found
many performers who pails fuperior claims to
admiration as reprefentatives of country clowns—
a little redundancy of aaion is always allowed to
gentlemen who have been favourites in the coun-
try ; a judicious correction of which will generally
make them favourites in town. The applaufe be-
llowed upon the new ador on Saturday mull have
been extremely grateful to him.
The amufements of the evening were multiplied
by the popular interiude of Silvdlef Daggerwood.
Mr. BANNISTER introduced the Song of captain
Wattle and Mr/: Roe, which was univerfally encored.
COVENT GARDEN.-Mr. COOKE, on Saturday

larly in the fcene where the pleads before the Duke.
MUNDEN'S Gaibo was humoNrous to excels. The
Entertainment of Love a la Mode followed, and
Mr. Coors and Mr. Lswts, as Sir Arcby M" Sar-
tain and Squire Grown, appeared contending with
each other who thould a6t with moil fpirit.

A report was in circulation on Saturday, that

tween the Cabinets of Vienna and the Thuilleries,
through the influence of the Archduke CHARLES
with the CHIEF CONSUL, and that the conduit, of
his Imperial Majelly on the fubjeet of indemnities
had the fecret concurrence of France. Nothing
can he more foolith and abfurd than fuch a report.

24th December. The Second Majors, we under-
ttand, arc to be continued.
We likewifc bear that all additional Lieutenants

Mr. WEST, tree Englint Painter, gave a break.
fin a few days (lice to the French Artifts, and to
many, of the Eaglifh now at Paris; among whom
were Citizen and Madame LIMON, the Earl and
Countefs of OXFORD Mr. ERSKINE, Mr. FUSF.LI,
and Mr. K EMSLE, ZeiiIsWILLIAMS, &C. Mr.WEST
gave as toalt-6. May the artifts of France and Eng-
land live on good terms together, whatever may be
the politics of the two countries." The French ar.it,
drank, "To the health and glory of the Eng:A fh -\r
tilts." One of the former gave the health of Mr.
ERSKINE, "the defender of liberty," and laid, ht.
obferred a refemblance between his countenance
and that of DEMOSTHENES. Mr. ERSKINE replied,
that .‘ he knew nothing of fuch a refemblance.
but that if the Gentleman had di leovered in his face
any traits, s hick marked-alovc of liberty,h.-_ magi t
be affured that they would never change."
A Petition to Parliament is preparing, and is
already figned by 100 Liverymen, the objet of
which is to render void the Lilt Elation tor the
City of London. It is fet on foot by the friends
of Sir Waratim LEWIS, with a hope of bringing
him in on a new Elation. The grounds of the Pe-
tition are, that the poll,was irregularly condated,
and contrary to the All of Parliament ; that the
proper number of Clet ks did ant attend to do the
bnfinefc, and that many of Sir Wareue's friends
did not poll, in confequence of the Clerks telling
them the poll was doled.
Some days fince, Mr. Calleney, a furveyor, and
his alrotants, having proceeded to Burgh, to let out
the propofed new inclofure of the Common, ac-
cording to Aft of Pat 'Lament, the poor inhabitants
collated, attacked them with itnes, and drove
them from the ground : the chaile was extremely
damaged by this attack. Lail Saturday, however,
Sir It. Kerrifon, accompanied Mr. Calleney
to the fpnt, when the fignal for the attack was
again made by the people ; hut on the appearance
of a party of dragoons, they retired, and the
divi-
fion of the Common took place.
