PLYMOUTH, MATCH 6, 8 45 r.m.
Anxiety here is at its highest possible pitch ; during
the whole of this.day we have experienced dreadful
weather ; and at this time the gale is frightfully in.
creased from S. It is high water just now, and the tide
bas broached our quays, and floats over the lower streets
of the town, but not sufficiently high to do irjui y ; the
tradesmen are, however, preparing for a complete inun-
dation to-morrow morning's spring, which doubtless
visit them, should 04 wind not abate. Up to this
moment all is safe in the shipping way, though they
ride very hard in the Sound, &c. The Madras Indiaman
is daily expected here, and many valuable ships besides
'are in the Channel. May they shape their course clear
of northern shoals!

Green-room report speaks favourably of the new
Opera in sehearsal at Covent-Garden Theatre, which is to be pro-
duced at Easter.

ITALIAN OPERA.—II Bat biere di &Idea was per-
formed last night at the Haymarket Theatre, the cha-
racter of itossna by Madame VE.Truts, who entered with
great spirit into the vivacious archness of the heroine of
Rossini's opera. Her voice Was evidently a little impaired;
by a told. Signor de BEMs played Bartok with,
gveat effect; and Signor BIOME supported the charac-
ter of Count Atmaviva respectably, allowing for the
disadvantages of a comparison with GARCIA in the,
same part. Signor PortTo performed Basilic), and Sig-
nor REMORINI Figaro. In the divertisement between the'
acts of the opera there was a great want of effect, arising
from the narrow space to which the exertions of the
corps de ballet were confined. Among the dancers,
VESTRIS and his wife attracted the chief attention. The
latter is improved both in grace and power. The House
was well and most respectably filled. The Duke of
WELLINGTON was among the audience; his Grace
looks better, though he still bears marks of indisposition.
L. VON BEETHOVEN and C. M. VON WEBER, the
musical composers (the latter so celebrated on account
of Der Freisehutz), ate expected in this country. The
former, it is stated, has been invited by the Philharmo,
nic Society, and WEBER by the Manager of Covent-
Garden Theatre. BEETHOVEN is almost entirely deaf,
so that the sight of him at the Philharmonic Concerts
must be the main object in view, besides that of paying
a compliment to so distinguished a composer. WEBER
is desired for the purpose of conduCting the forthcoming
Opera at Covent-Garden,which is founded on the " Tale
of Oberon;' and is to be brought out after Easter.
Lord PALMERSTON, on Monday evening, obtained
leave to bring in a Bill to' continue the Mutiny Act;
and Mr. CnottEn had the like approbation for a bill to
continue the Act for the' Regulation of the Marine
Forces; so that the Government portions of the Busi-
ness of Parliament continue to be actively attended to.
Ttte Estimates for Civil Contingencies and Army Ex-
traordinaries were postponed till Friday, in consequence
of the long desultory conversation on the Report of the
Army Estimates, on Monday.
a Dr. MAJENDIE, of Paris, denies the statement made
io the H ruse of Commons, of his haviog given ten
geineas for a dog, and nailed it to a table, itc. It is,
he says, an unfounded calumny, and he appeals to
the candour of the eminent Physicians and Surgeons of
LondJo, who have witnessed his experiments on ani-
mals, to say whether any such experiment was ever,
Made as he was said in Parliament to have performed.l
