THEATRES.

DRURY LANF.—A little piece of two acts, trans.
lated from the French, was represented last night, for
the first time, at this Theatre. The House was very
well attended, and the performance applauded
thronghout. It was, indeed, one of these lively pro-
ductions for which the French are so remarkable, and
was conceived with that gaiety, and conducted with
that ease, which form the proper groundivoik of an
agreeable trifle. The plot was extremely simple, and
the dialogue very animated : —Jean de Paris, the hero,
is no less a personage than the heir to the Crown of
France. He hears of an incomparable beauty, the
Princess of Navarre, who being on the look out for a
husband, is of course to make her choice among all
the Sovereigns of Europe ; those Sovereigns are,
every one of them, deep in love, either with herself or
her reputation. Her Highness being on her journey
to Paris, with the aforesaid object in view, is expected
at an inn on the road, where great preparations are
making for her reception, under the superintendence
of the Seneschal of the place. This Senesekal is, of
course, a pompous Magistrate ; but the portrait is
far from being highly wrought. Jean de Paris', re-
solving to have the Princess, adopts a most extracts-.
dinary step. He sets out in disguise as a merchant,
accompanied by his Chevaliers, also in disguise, and.
under this assumed character contrives to get posses-
sion or the apartments, and even tb, purchase the
dinner intended for the Princess of Navarre. The Inn-
keeper, an Irishman, who seems to have been- very
faithfully drawn, from the model of the English
stage, as far as his humour extends, is, however'', a
little darkened on the side of principle ; for the mer-
chant gains has point by bribery alone. A good deal:,
of laughter is excited by the perplexity, in which the
keeper is placed on the arrival of the Seneschal. to
announce the approach of his sovereign mistress.—
The Princess arrives, and the confusion is at its heights,
'ln this dilemma Jean de Paris proposes that thee',
Princess shall dine with him. She kindly accepts the
invitation. Jean is enraptured at his success, the Se-
neschal confounded at his impudence, and the Innkeeper
delighted at his own escape. Next comes the enter-
tainment, :which is served up in a style of princely
magnificence. Jesse de Paris, more desperately in
love than ever, resolves to ascertain his fate. and by
this time it.apßears that the Princess, who irequally in
love with him to aware of his real character. A dia-
.?
'logue ensues, us Which he describes the mistress of his ,
'heart. she the possessor of her affections ; and it con-
cludes with -The'hapeY, though not surprising disco-
' Tern, that the', have each been describing the other.
"He falls upon his knees of course. The passion is
avowed, the centeiers assembled, the Jeneschal thun-
der-struck again, and the Innkeeper, whsehad all along
taken Jean de Paris for an Irish merchant, pronounces
him now to be the " Prince ofCorjuroes." There is
.tt trifling under-plot, of which very little is made.—
The SessesclsaPs daughter having eloped with Theodore;
• one oF Jean de Paris' friends, is pardoned by her father,
at the instance of the Hereditary Prince. The scenery
and dresses are quite in the French teste ; the ban-
quet scene, in particular, was noticed ait.h applause.
From a large flower basket, in which the villagers de.
posited their offerings, a sp:endid supper table, actor.
net with a canopy, arose is an instant. The effect
was really fine. A Ballet was introduced at the be.
gineirg of the second act, which was greatly ap.
piauded. The whole was extremely well received I
and we may safely venture to predict that Jean sk
Paris n ill never regret his trip to London, so encou-
raging has been his reception, and so profitable his
gallantry. Mr. Eeersvoer, as Jean de Paris, Mr.
Lovenaove, as the Seneschal, Mtt. JOHNNTONE, as the
Innkeeper, Mrs. EDWIN, as the Princess of Navarre, and
Miss KELLY, as the Seneschal': runaway daughter (who
on this occasion appeared is male attire), exerted
themselves with great ability and success. Mr. Wm.-
LACK, Mrs. OaGER, &c. were also very happy. The
announcement of the piece for /*petition was rip- I
turously received. 1
COVENT GARDEN.—Mr. KEMBLE last night SAM 1
tained the character ief Penruddoci, in the Intel of
Fortune, with that nice discrimination and energy
which never fail to make a deep impression on the
audience. Miss Foots performed the part of Easily
Tempest with great eclat. The sweetness and sided; of
this young Lady's manners on the stage are highly'
attractive. Tattay, in the Governor, was received
with marks of extraordinary favour. We are sorry
he is not more frequently brought forward, as a mere
itolt.idous actor does not tread the stage. .Rosina fol-
, in which Dultusarr was Maws, Miss MA-
THEWS was Pheie, and Miss STEPHENS was Retina ;
all for the first time. Of the latter, it is superfluous
to say, that the simplicity and melody of her songs
delighted the audience. The House was crowded.

Yesterday, the LORD MAYOR ordered the price of
Bread to be reduced half an Assize, or One Penny in
the Peck Loaf.

A French Lady landed on Friday, at Newhaven,
from Dieppe, who, from her appearance at first view,
might have been mistaken fer one of the family of the
Hottentot Venus dressed o la Fratuain, but one of I
the Custom-house officers placing his arm in a position
to lift her from the boat to shore, he had some reason
to suspect that the projection was not natural, and.
upon► a private examination taking place, it was found
that the removal of a considerable quantity of va-
luable French lace, reduced the rear rotundity of the
fair Parisian to the natural shape.

There was pulled last week in a garden, a little to
the west of Edinburgh, an apple, of the Hawthorn-'
'den kind, measuring eleven inches in circumference.
'and weighing nine ounces, which, at the present rate
of the Edinburgh market, is worth 4-id.
Wedneiday, at Makerston, a servant of Sir ALex-{
ANDER MUIR MACKENEIEi Of Delvine, imprudently I
wagered that he would swim across the river Tweed,
which was considerably swilled at the time, and re.
turn. He gained the opposite bank in safety, but
sunk on his way back, and was drowned.
At. Paisley, on the morning of Tuesday se'nnight,
a boy, watering a horse in the Cart, which was much
swollen by the late rains, was borne by the flood from
its back, and drowned.
Wednesday night, about eight o'clock, Mr. John
Watt, jun. son of Mr. John Watt, tobacconist, Edin-
burgh, vro attacked on. the -mad between Grange-
muath and Linlithgow, by two men, who, after
beating him severely, rifled his pockets of about £l5.
