' INF4IIIIOUS. CONDUCT.
- lie person who has Marked the general spirit which
'pervades our columns, will ,f'ar'e moment believe that
we can adyocate the cause of those: who viylate their
/wok, or mho *can, fili thc
_love or mope become
such traitors its: ti assist so liberafies."lirers of
Wei:ooW sending them back tei thew, squetitiain,
to' carry arms ' against those to ityhOi per . , re cap-
tive. Our motives in f iiiing the present:: tement
will, therefore, not be misunderstood.
Every labourer is worthy of his hire. Many Eng:
lishmen have been restored to their country, their
friendi ind.families, who but lately were groAning in
prisons in France. A circumstantial detail of the
means would, for many reasons, be highly injudicious;
bnt the conduct of certain individuals, whose names
have reached us; deserves high reprehension : they
ought to be driven from the society of all honourable
men—they ought to have been left to- perish in French
dungeons. The person who conveyed them from A
pri.on —who restored these men to liberty, and left
them in England in the hands of their countrymen,
I demanded, on landing them on the 23d of September
last, his stipulated and promised reward, and to earn
which he had incurred the penalty of death. One of
the men gave him abad bill, payable in Guernsey ;
anotber,e Serjeant of Marines, aho gave a bad bill ; tht
third, to crown the infamy, not only openly 'refused to
pay the promised sum, but, most atrociously, threat-
ened to send an account of the whole proceedings to
the French Government I—in other words, to expose
the man to the forfeiture of his life, incurred by aid.
ing this worthless fellow in making 'his escape ! This
despicable wretch had for some time been a prisoner
at Arras. Thus the poor foreigner returned with
a mind suspicious of the honour of Englishmen, and
little, disposed to assist any more of our unfortunate
countrymen, who ate pining in captivity.

COVENT GI!'RIM? 7 HEATRE.
SHAKSPEADEN TragedY of 'Antony and Cleo/antra,
with alterations, and with additions front DRYDEN,
was last night produced at this Theatre. lii the
preface to the piece, thus new modelled, we are infor-
med, . that the arrangement was undertaken for the
purpose of collecting in one focus, the various beau-
lies which ire scattered through the two p'mys, foun-
ded by SHAKSPEARE and DRYDEN OD the same basis.
And, in justice to the individual to whom- this deli-
cate task was cemmitted, we must observe that be
has been extremely successful. " An amalgama-
tion of wonderful and poetical powers" has been ef-
fected ; and, in many instances, 41 the 'violations of
the unities" which Ire gross and frequent in SIIAK•
sesames productions, if not entirely avoided, have
•been greatly softened down. -Mr. YOUNG
.sup-
; ported the character of Mari Antony with force and
discrimination. Whether as the lover or the hero—
now solely occupied in gentle dalliance with the
Egyptian Queen, now burning with shame and indig-
i nation at the defeat of his navy, and bravely deter-
mining to retrieve' his shattered fortunes, and to
break the chains in which an artful woman had
bound him—his acting was full of tenderness, or
• spit it, spurt, as the varying scene demanded the transition.
.The young and victorious Cesar found an able repo-
sentittive in Mr. Asa° r, and he was highly applauded.
Mr. TERRY was an ersellent Yentitfiut—his first scene
with Antony was admirably supported by him and
Mr. Younu.—Mrs. FAUCIT was the Ckotatra. No
actress could have been more happily selected to give
an external representation of that beautiful and fasci-
niating woman. • The person and even countenance
lof Mrs. FAUCIT are extremely handsome ; and she
adds to those advantages ease, elegance, and anima-
tion. She happily delineated the artful, voluptuous,
and impassioned Queen ; and,'in the scene where the
messenger informs her of the marriage of Antony
with Octavio, she displayed great powers of acting.—
Mrs. bl,Gistiom sustained the character of Oaavia,
with great dignity and feeling.
The Tragedy has been got up in a most splendid
style. The scenery is extremely beautiful, and the
dresses superb and appropriate. The representation
of the "engagement between the fleets of Antony and
°davit': Cesar, is a most brilliant spectacle. The
grand funeral procession, with which the piece con-
cludes, is excellently arranged, and has a very
striking and impressive -appearance.
At the termination of this gorgeous Drama, the
following El:leo:um, or Dirge, which was adequately
set to music by Mr. BISHOP, was performed in a style
ctf more -convenes and spirit, than we ever remember
to have heard in is theatre, on a similar purpose:
CHORUS.
Cold in death, the Hero lies;
Nerveless, now the Victor's arm;'
Quench'd the lightning of hb eyes,
The Foe to daunt, the Fair to rim.
Mourn, soldicrs,.mourn ! your day is done,
Valour has lost its cheering sun :
The Roman p'cry sets on Egypt's shore, s
And great MARK ANTONY will rise no more !
soya.— BY MR. INCLEDON.
0 Comrades ! many a time has he
Led us tc-glorious-victory. !
Then blush not, friends, at drops that force
• flown manhood's cheek their ragged course •
The tears that Soldiers o'er their General shed,
• Are brave 'lieu's tribute to a brave man dead!
QUA RTSTtn.
A constant fire his courage gloved :
A ceaseless stream his bounty flew d:
if riches in the field of lame he rup'tt,
The halbert was on love and kiesid&h, Itened!
801.0.—8 Y 111 R. SINCLAIR.
. When Mars no looser battled on his side,
And Neptune, weary of his prowess grown ;
Buoy'd him no more to conquest down the tide,
E'en then no sword subdued him but his own !
While Cleopatra's graveTe trim,
There her lov'd Antony inter
For she her Egypt last for him ;
'He half the world hie bcr !
GRAND ciloittie.
No monument, till now, could boast a pair
So fatted yet; alt ! • so hicklesk to their doom :
Long will the doves of Venue murmur there,
And shouts of warriors thunder o'er the tomb !
The piece was received by a most crowded and
genteelaudience with' the strongest marks of appro.
bation, and announced for a second representation,
lamidst universal plaudits.
