THEATRES.

Dal/RV-LAN& THIATRE.—Lati night the tra-
gedy of Cyrodetore was repeated, and Mr. Pors
being much recovered from the cold that oppreffed
him the former night, was enabled to give to the
part of Pyibiroure all the force and energy which
belongs to it, and all the excellence which his con-
ception of it embraces. Indeed, the play is altoge-
ther performed with great ability. Mrs. Pots is
very eminent in the charaaet of /orogen, which is
admirably adapted to her Rile of performance.—
In addition to the attraaion of this play, was the
novelty of Mr. Awl, sa's appearance in the cha-
raaer of Young Wilding in The Liar, and in his ge-
neral a&ion and deportment reminded us much
of the late Mr. JOHN PALMER, who was fo admi-
rably at cafe in this charaaer : his manner alto
has a mixture of that of the Covent Garden LEWIS.
Of difpofition to imitation he manifefts but li:tle;
that little, however, we could with to fee him
altogether forego. He was loudly applauded
throughout his performance of laft night.
It would be flattering WATH EN to fay that his
Papillon is as entertaining as that of WEWITZER ;
but if it was not fo humourous, we did not obferve
much offence in it.

The houfe, particularly the pit, was very well
filled. The fplendour of the boxes will gradually
increafe as the feafon of faihion and of the town
returns.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE..--Laa night Mr.
COOKE appeared, for the fecond time, in the cha-
raCter of Hamlet ; and notwithltanding the feverity
of remark which he had to encounter on his firtt
performance, was, upon the whole, well received
by a refpatable audience. It muft,• however, be
obferved, that he was not laft night in a condition
to give full effect to his powers, as he evidently
laboured under indifpofition, and was moreover
fo hoarfe as foraetimes to be inarticulate. Of Mifs
REEVES'S performance of °Alia we have not any
new obfervations to make.

The New Theatre, Sadler's Wells, after a very
favourable feafon, clofed laft night.
COOK x, we underftand, has made a new engage-
ment with the Manager of Covent Garden Theatre.
His prefent articles expire at the elofe of this fea-
fon. The terms of the new eng:tgement, it is Paid,
are more than double the amount of what he re-
ceived on his firft connedion with that Theatre.

Mr. COLMAN, it feems, means to refume his
funCtions as Acting Manager next feafon.
On Monday fe'nnight, a in a large room at
Anderflon, near Glafgow, where a company
of comedians were performing /be Ruh Body,
about the commencement of the play, part of the
feats, from being over crowded, broke down, by
which one young lady had her leg broken, and fe-
veral other perfons were confiderably bruifed.

The rain of yetterday was extremely welcome
to the parched earth. A continuance of it would
even at this late period be profitable to the grafs.

The Parifhioners of St. Dunitan's have been ex-
tremely liberal the repairs of the Church Clack ;
befides new dreffing the two Piling figures in the
molt fathionable Rile ofnakednefs, they have been
at the expence of a new fet offs leave: to thew the
decency of the primitive ages.

A Morning Paper, (peaking of the famous Aero-
naut, calls him Poor Garnerin. This is the more
(Irange, as thoufands have fo repeatedly witnefed
his ring in the world.

Thofe who thought the price of grain would
fall in confequence of• the abundance of the liar-
veil, forgot that when a harvea was houfed, it
was hid. No wife Farmer talks of fcarcity, till
his crops are barned.

Effeas of the peace.—A paper gives an account of
the reduaion of Coloneh and Lieutenant Colonels of all
regiments of the line—and immediately after, the
rediraion of the price of butter at Ipfwich fair. A
certain Marquis would have compofed a love letter
from two fuch coincidences.

The Spanifh Government in North America,
unable to make oppofition to the predatory warfare
of BowLES and his Indian followers, is negociat•
ing a treaty of peace with them.

The FIRST CONSUL is to receive the Members of
the principal Conaituted Authorities at St. Cloud
every Sunday morning. A few days ago the
Bilhop of Art, failles officiated at Mafs at St. Cloud,
and the Darr CONSUL attended.
The FIRST CONSUL has ordered a fuperb Service
of China to be completed at the Manufadory of
Loir for Lord flawitEsauity. It is now finUhed
and confifts of three fets, viz.—
“ A table fet, with tortoife-thell coloured borders, white
bottom, and a green bugle-horn in the centre —2. A table fet,
brown tortoife-thell coloured borders, bottom white, veined
like marble, antique emblematical figures, bronze coloured, in
the centre.-3. A deffert fervice, white borders enriched with
gold purple coloured bottoms, cypher H. in the centre."

_ . .
In the department of the Indre and Loire,
where the celebrated DESCARTES was born, great
preparations are making for placing a butt of
him in the houfe where he firft drew breath. It
is to be a public ceremony, and a fuitable addrel,
will he delivered by one of the principal perfons in
the department on the charaeer and difcoveries of
this great philofopher. The buff is alfu to have
an appropriate infcription. .
A private letter from Paris fays, " The FIRST
CONSUL has been clofeted for the lag ten days
with fome of the ableft Financiers in France. It
is not only faid, but believed by many, that he
has a fum in money of two hundred millions of
livres (upwards of eight millions Reding) locked
up in his ccffers, and which is not to be touched
' but on fome very important occafion. The fear-
city of call], which is greatly felt here, is attribut-
ed by many intelligent perfons to the withholding
of fo large a fum from circulation! I !"

A new etiquette, it is Paid, has been eflabliihed at
the Came of the Thuilleries. BONAPARTE iS in
future to dine only with his own family and the

By the Lydia, Capt. TR EDWELL, which arrived

It gives us much pleafure to find that the fevc,
which bore fo alarming appearance for fome time
in Philadelphia and Baltimore, is now Lb abated
that the inhabitants of thefe places think it unr,e•
ceffary to remove from their ufual places of abode,
and that the city of New York was in a tlate of the
moll perfc health.
Laft week a fai.or going aloft in a merchal

there being a prodigious fwell from the eallward,
the poor fellow drove from the vell'el at a grew:
rate, and was loon out of fight ; the boat was then
hoittel over the fide of the veffel, but returned a
!hart time after without being able to pick up
unfortunate man. The crew confidered their cot•
panion as loft, but, to their ationithment, the mit
morning he came on board as well as ever. Te
wind and tide letting in towards fhore, the wares
had carried him with great violence in that ch":C.

A BIRTH-DAY ODE FOR 1802.

BY A PLOUGHMAN OF HiILEFORDSHIRE.

Sririt of Song ! in amber thy,
Or in the rude cerulean deep;
O facred Nymph ! whereer you lie,
Shake off the woes that lull thy fleep--. •
The dulcet voice of Peace refound.,
And Plenty's ruddy troop furrounds,
Laden with fpley Gums and Flowers,
To bids the Earth with tranquil hours.
0 ! roufe with all thy Energies,
Lofty founds, and nudes ;
Such as nook the Orphan Lyre,
When rugged Forefts made a 4tire ;
Whole hollow Caverns did reply
To every Note of Melody ;
Teach me that force to (hike the warbling strings,
Worthy the natal Morn of Britain's belt of Kings !
0 Pril:ce of Mcn! thy brighten fmile—
Mantles when Concord glade the life;
When War's dcftrudive clangors ceafe,
And all thy Sons in Ilniling cafe,
Fonder the Virtues of thy Mind,
Chief, Father, Friend, and Hulband kind;
Patron of Arts—of thofc that fpread
ProtUfion o'er the Earth's rich Bali—
Round thee, what Wit and Beauty fp ort,
That fir Graces make z brighter Court
Than ever honor'd worthy King :
From thy chafte Love the treafures fpring.
Laurels may Thine Yiertory's Car,
But Fame records thine brighteft far.
In the late condift, when weak Man,
Miitaking Order's holy Laws,
With gothic rage the Earth o'er .ran,
Naming the madnefs Freedom's caufe ;
Thy granite Me, like Sion Rood,
The only refuge for the good;
And all the Virtues on thy more
Securely wept the Tempeß o'er.
'Twas then, upon thy liquid Strand,
Artie the triforied God—
And Reaching forth his coral Arm,
Whole Gaut nerves the ftorms difarm,
Commanded round his Triton Band,
Who, On their Dolphins rode,
To found tliiir bells with this decree,
That abed hom fa to fea.-
0! Quail of
. What Heaven (miles,
The pendent Miami, of the Waves.—
Thy happy Land
With Freedom bland,
Shall e'er be free
From Anarchy—
While Ocean round thee laves .
*hen curling in the Brine their azure bola,
The founds to &fiance (hook the lilver tides.
Let tweeter Paeans pierce the wires !
That reads's! found,
As could recall the Meeting Breath
Of fair Eurydice from Death,
Tho' by the Iron Fates fait bound.
Hari the Thunders! down the lkies,
Hand on the whirlwind Fancy flies,
• Trailing living Fires,
That mark to the Poet's glad furprize
A Nation's high born Deitinies—
So grateful to Mankind, Great Jove's unchang'd &fires. '
Fair Albion riling unto Morn,
Arriv'd at her meridian Day,
Shall with fuch fmiling Arts adorn
Her green Abodes,
As to make them Heav'n.—
Her Children Gods ;
Beighening the World with Science' ray,
Tho' arm'd with Thunders to be hurrd,
If difcords fluke the dow'ry World.
What other Land,
That Fame furfwears,
Can boaft one-half thy Joys ?
. Lands of Demagogues and Saves,
Where Virtue &rinks, and Folly raves,
Calms and Storms juft like the Waves.
Eesirted by a fapphire Strand,
A verdant mantle Winter wears,
And four-fold Harvefts crown thy years,
Which blight nor foe deftroys!
No Slaves dull Rep e'er enrft thy f0i1...
No Viairn ever bleeds in Chains;
• But the puretands of Freemen's toil
Coiled the abundance of thy Plains.
Happy Plains !
What lively Brains !
Echo at Eve from each Valley and Hill,
At letting Sun,
When f.abostr is done-.
And thy Moon-lighted Meadows and Fallows are !till.
Thy Gifts increafe...
At War, in Peace.
What falai cafe
Around thee (mules!
All the World's wealth,
And gales of Health,
Crown thy green
0 ! could ev'ry Briton know -
The briny Torrents Med,
On diftant Lands, when furc'd to go,
Or by misfortune led !
Unhappy Brothen, never more,
To view' tilt ir own delightful more—
Then would each loyal Bofom prize
His Boon, the brighteft of the Skies !
