" London, September 24,1114.
" MOST EXCELLENT haVe the honour to Inclose an-
nezed a copy of the letter which I wrote your Excellency on the
24th July, and to which I have received no answer. In conse-
quence of this silence, 1 a second time intreat your Excellency
that my name may be struck from the list of Generals In the
Spanish Army ; for I never can consent to accept any rank from
a Government which deprives a whole people of the right of
representation ; but especially I cannot submit to it from the
Spanish Government, which has received so many proofs of the
affection of its subjects in the exertions they have made, and of
which I am myself the witness, for the establishment of the in-
dependence of the monarchy: It appears to me that the Ministers
on the return of his Majesty ought at least to have advised their
Sovereign to confirm all the anc.ent rights of the nation, which
so many noble and glorious sacrifices have been offered up to
maintain..—Con preserve your Excellency, ace.
(Signed) " TOMAS DYER."

The French Journalists seem very angry with us

The gallant General Ross, after his supper at Wash-

The Duke and Duchess of ORLEANS have requested
that women of the town and gaming-houses may no

Englishmen should be cautious how they buy pro-

It is an undoubted fact, that the ancestors of the

He was with difficulty extricated, after which he at-

20 yards off, in the hopes of procuring assistance, hut
he fell on his back before he approached the shop,

—Two of the first Dragoon Guards, quartered at
Tallow, were on Sunday morning last violently as-
saulted by two ruffians, not 500 yards from the bar-
racks : one of the soldiers had his skull fractured by
a stroke from the handle of a pike, the other was also
dangerously wounded. A private of the North Cork
Regtment, quartered atCappa, being sent on Monday
evening last to Dungarvan, was, on his return, way-
laid, and barbarously murdered on the high road,
about a mile distant from the last mentioned place.
About five o'clock on Wednesday se'nnight, the
bacon stores of Mr. Joyce, of Clonmel, were observed
to be on fire, and in a short time assumed a most
alarming appearance, there being a great deal of straw
in the premises. About six the root of the range ad-
joining the Suir fell in. The great store adjoining the
bank of the river is entirely in ruins, as is the range
of building running up to Mr. JOYCE'S dwelling house;
and indeed of the whole bacon concern, little remai^s
but the walls. A large quantity of butter. of salt,
and bacon wrappers, was also destroyed, with ;:n itn•

belonging to the place.

THE MANIAC.

Beneath a thorn sat frantic MART,
Unmindful of the wind or rain,
The scene around was dark and dreary, -

Yet still she sung in plaintive strain—
" Ah ! wretched e'er must be the maid
Who from fair virtue's path has stray'd ;•
Blow, blow, cold wind, fall faster rain,
Levi once gave joy—but now gives pain—
To hapless MART !"

Deprivid of reason's guiding power,
Her sighs bespoke a heart dint ress'd,
Just like a lovely blooming flower,
That droops and fades, when rudely presed
Again she song—" Woe to the maid
''hat from fair virtue's path bas stray'd ;
Blow, blow, cold wind, fall faster rain,
Love once gave joy—but now gives pain—
To hapless MARY !"

THEATRES.

DRURY-LANE.—Mr. KEAN appeared in Othello last
night, and was again crowned with the most heart-
felt applause throughout. The house was crowded
In every part. —such is the tribute which the public
pay to the genuine representations of nature by a
powerful and original genius. Mrs. BARTLEY (late
Miss SMITH) was the representative of De demon. On
entering she was welcomed with thunders of applause,
which.were frequently renewed in honour of her per-
formance. Mrs. GLOVER displayed all her wonted
excellence in Intilla ; POPE seemed to give general
satisfaction in /ay, and the Tragedy went off with
boundless eclat.

COVENT GA !MM.—Last night Miss O'NEILL, from,
the Dublin stage, made her first appearance in this
Theatre in the character of Juliet, and we have the
satisfaction to say, that since the retirement of Mrs.:
6/DDONS, no female tragedian has appeared on either'
stage in any degree equal in merit to this beautiful'
candidate for public favour. Miss O'NEILL is ex-
quiteely formed, tall and graceful in her person, with
that bewitching freshness which youth and health,
only can bestow, and which is " when unadorn'd
.adorn'd the most." Simple and yet elegant in her
deportment, she does every thing without the appear.
ante of study, and yet no study could make what she
does more correct or more emphatic. Her features
have not the marking strength of those with which
Sirs. SIMONS could penetrate the heart, but they
have a softness which her predecessor's could never
assume, and a loveliness as well as expression admira-
bly adapted to rouse the sympathies of the soul in aU
the gentler emotions of love and pity. The lower
part of her voice is very musical and sweet: she de-
livers herself with simplicity and intelligence. At
times the upper notes of the voice sounded shrill to
the ear; but we conceive that this was owing to the
extent of the area—and that, not being accustomed to
so large a house, she had not gained the precise pitch.
We notice this because the fault chiefly occurred in
the opening scenes, and was scarcely felt in the latter
part of the Play. Her voice, however, has great
compass as well as power—for in the few impassioned
sentences which Julia has to deliver—such as where
Tykile rises to her imagination " festering in his
slams d," and again, where she shriek: and thinks she
sees him " seeking out Romeo," the start of her pas-
sion, the pathos of her voice, the expression of her
eye, were uuly Siddonian, and reached the heart of
every witness to the scene. Her merits are not, how-
ever, confined to the gfts of voice and person, which
nature sometimes confers, in abundance, on hose to
whom she has been very sparing of mental endow-
menu ; but here—
" .ebe owl keeps the promise we had from the feu."
A just modulation of the voice—a clear and distinct
articul. ,;on—a style of action easy and appropriate
of which Miss O'NEILL possesses in a very
eminent degree)—may be acquired by study—may
be perfected by practice. But from nature alone can
be derived the sensibility, the energy, the passion,
which Miss O'NEILL displayed in many parts of her
Juliet. Her performance is the garden scene, with
very little exception, was fell of the romantic tender-
t:es: of a first love. Her adjuration, beginning," Swear
by thy gracious self," was delivered with the most im-
passioned feeling. After the banishment of Romeo,
whin the fearful and timid Juliet, menaced with's
second husband, becomes, as the danger approaches,
bold and determined—when the desire of maintaining
berself an " unstained wife," calls on her to submit
to death, in preference to filling the arms of another
—the powers of Miss O'NEILL acquired fresh vigour
as the difficulties of the heroine accumulated. The
interview with Friar Lawrence, where she expresses
the horror of her feelings at the projected union, so
4trongly, as to induce the confessor to produce the
leeping draught, was forcefully conceived, and ener-
getically performed. The soliloquy, prior to her
swallowing the drug, in which her fancy, bewildered
by the awfulness of her situation, conjures up a thou:
sand hideous images, was marked throughout by a
fine adherence to nature. The hurried accent—the
vacant eye—the trembling frame—the wild and ex-
travagant gesture—all combined to present a correct
picture of human nature, when oppressed by the in-
fuence of terror. Her last scene was equally good.
The joy of Juliet, when raised from the tomb of her
fathers, she unexpectedly finds herself in the arms of
ber lover, was expressed with mingled force and deli-
cacy, and formed a powerful and affecting contrast
with the grief and despair which follow, when she
perceiveehim raving in all the agonies of excruciat-
ang pain. For many minutes after Juliet, in the per
sou of Miss O'NEILL, had fallen, the house resounded
with applause; and frequently in the course of the
evening, the tribute of admiration which this young
lady's talents demanded, put a stop, for some time, to
the progress of the tragedy.—We never were present
at a more successful dezia, nor do we think that a sin-
gle plaadit was improperly bestowed. From Miss
O'NLILL's exertions, last night, we are inclined to
believe, that she will shine in characters where a lofty
and towering spirit is predominant. She possesses
every requisite necessary for a first-rate actress; and if
she does not speedily attain the highest honours in her
profession, we ate strangely mistaken. Mr. CONWAY
sustained the character of Romeo with great ability.—
His last scene was excellent. The lively volatile Mee..
ratio found, in Mr. JONES, a representative full of viva.'
at, end aairnation. After She flay Mr. Eielaroml

cline forward. and said,—" Ladies and Gentlemen,
in consequence of the approbation with which you
have honoured Miss O'lialm.—(afrplaure for several
minuter)—this tragedy will, with your permission, be
repeated to•morrJw evening."—(S/sour: sf—Bravo !)
