We]! Indian was performed, and commanded, as fuel:
a play and to well fupported, mutt always do, a very
good hank. Mr. ELLISTON and Mils DuNcau
were extremely happy in their retpeilive parts. In-
deed, the whole performance is in admirable, it is alt
molt invidious to parucularile. The Farce of 4 11r,:tie
to be Sold followed. Mrs. BLAND gave her tweet airs
with mile and jqdgment ; and Mr. BANNISTER and
Mifs Ds CAMP played with their ufual fpirit.
COVk NT-GARDEN—Their MA:ESTIES and the PRIN-
CESSES, attended by LOYdSHARRINGTON, HARCOURT,
Dear sworn, and MORTON, Ladies SYDNEY and A.
Cu MIVIRLAND, again honoured thisTheatre with their
pretence lag night, and were, as natal, received with
the moll enthufiaftic burfis of applaufe from every
part of the houfe, which was crowded to an overflow.
God Save the King, was Tung in full chorus, on the
entrance of the Royal Party, and Rule Britannia be-
tween the Play and Farce. The performances were
MORTON'S new comedy, and Hartford Brie/gr. Mum-
DEN, who was to have performed in both pieces,
having been foddenly taken ill, his part in the comedy
was fuflained hi BLANCHARD, and that in the farce
by•CHERRY, of Drury-lane Theatre, at a. notice of
not more than an hour. The latter not being tufE-
ciently perfat in the tong allotted to him as the re-
prefentative of Peregrine Fortyltr, and, according to the
etiquette of the Theatre when the Klan is prefent, no
explanation of the cattle of his coming fOrward having
been made to the audience, tome fymptoms of &I-
approbation were manifened on the occafinn, and
Mr. CH ERR rin confequence withdrew. On his re-
appearance, he approached the audience with a de-
meanor the molt becomingly diffident and retpeCt-
ful, and thus, as neatly as we can recolleB, addrefied
himfelf to them :

" With the greateß fubmiffion to this Aucurr Costrwr,"
(bowing ntoft refpedfully to their Nist es ri is and PRI xcrsqrs),
" and to the Audience now before me" (making a &tidal. obeihoize
to the other parts of the company)." I come forward to flute the
oecaficiii of my appearing in this part tmnight. About an boor
ago, the Prompter called at my lodgings, and carnally rape:led
me to undertake it. I have not leen the piece for twelve
The Lhortnefs of the notice, therefore, !enacted it impoffitile fur
toe to recover the part. I conic mently ventured before at
the rilk of loling whatever trifling reputation I may have acquired,
rather than create ally difappoimment. Had the notice been more
timely, I trult, 1 amid have performed the clizradcr more to your
fatisfadiou."

Here he was interrupted by a bu;ft of applaufe, in
which their MAJESTIES took the lead; the KING, while
clapping his bands, moil gracionfly exclaiming
" brav9 kayo!" the Qt_r_s EN, at the fame time, ap-
plauding with the utmott cheerfulnefs and warmth.
The performance then proceeded, and Mr. CHERRY,
whenever he appeared, received ample teflimonials
of the great refpeel which his becoming condua has
procured for him. Mr. Iscr.too...'s part was under-
taken by Mr. TAYLOR, who acquitted himfelf with
credit ; and Mrs. MARTYR, (whole kind attention to
CHERRY in his mothents of embarraffment the an.
dience obfe;ved with obvious pleafure), was fprightly
and happy throughout, and in the long of the Pod
Horfe Bells received great and merited applaufe.
