LURLIN, dPRIL i 6.

Government, we are informed, yeaerday received
an exprefs, mentioning the fatisfadory intelligence of
the Cafe arrival at their d-itined ports in the Welt In-
dies of the three regiments which failed from Cork
tome time ago, and which were mentioned in a Cork
paper to have been captured.
Petitions from various parts of Ireland will be im-
mediately prefented to the Imperial Parliament, again&
the recent duty on paper.
Wednefday the Right Hon. Lord AVON molts, and
the Hon. Baron Gsoaos, arrived at Waterford, and
opened their refpeetive Commiffinns, the former in
the County, and the latter in the City Court.
APRIL I B.—A foldier, who efcaped from the party
who robbed Mr. liewriwaav, of Linen-hall, a few
nigh; finer, has been apprehended from his own con•
feffithi, .z..d was yefierday lodged :n Newgatc.

COVENT GARDEN.--M 2 ter BETTY, on Saturday,
appeared at this Theatre in a new charader, that of
Ofman, in the tragedy of Zara; of his performance
of which we have nearly the fame remarks to make
as of his 7ancred: it is phytically out of his reach,
though his exertions are wonderful, and his c,ocep-
tion of the part, throughout, is perfeCtly corre.ft. In
fame paffages, he foared on Saturday nizht, beyond
all competition ; while in others, he teemed illmott ex-
hautied by the efforts which he made to convince the
audience that he undetitood his author. He wa,, ad-
mirably well dreffed, and looked taller than ufual.
C, KsmeLE's Neqlon, HAkGKAVE'S I.l.,figran, and
Mrs. H. Si neoxs's Zara, were very rcfpatable per-
formances. The Houfe was as ufual, completely
crowded.

Comte, it Teems, was playing at Portfmouth on
the evening that the audience expefted his appearance
At Covent Garden, having previoutly ohtatned p;r-
million for that purpsfe, although the circumtlanca
appears to have Leen afterwards forgotten at the
Flwat rt. •

Mr. HOUGH, the theatrical inflruelor of Little
BETTY, having been ditiniffed faun the toils of tu•
torage, has obtained a comfortable fituation as
Prompter under the management of S 1 EPH FM KVA.
LF, with whom he was engaged in the fame capacity
many years ago. •

KENSINGTON GARDENS.---Yefterday die Gardens
were extremely crowded ; but, notwithfianding the
finenefs of the day, the thew of female fathion was
comparatively thin ,• the cotiume of the Ladies teem-
ed as yet to have affumed no decided charaFteriitic,
but fill to wear the appearance tifually Riled demi-
failbn, and to have taken the ton rather from the tem-
perature of perfonal Conflitution, than from any fig-
nal of leading talk. Sicilian habits, pelices of fable
velvet, and even large tippets of bear-fkin, were
prevalent, though many of the wearers carried para-
foli. The Span ilh hat and cloa! were alto much worn :
the fro-trier of leaver or coloured chip, with oflricl,
feather: or various colours ; the latter of purple or
pale hue fill, or fancy muffins, which were in general
very talleftil and elegant.
The drive in Hyde Park was extremely thronged
with voiture: of ton, and Rolla: roc; had a full parade
of fathionable cavalry.
The young Lady, who eloped from a bail on Dion-
day night, was traced to a village near Salifbury,
where, on Wednefday, the was married. The ler-
vant who followed her thiqler, arrived an hour after
the ceremony. Her father has forgiven her want of
confidence and duty, and the is now on her return to
town with her hufband.

The enjoyment of funlhine was a predominant will:
of DIOCENES ; but modern philolophers are more
wife!y anxious to obtain the jrm2•iee of Fo-luce. The
reacon is obvious; they know that the latter will
beak; brightnefs even co the tztort gloomy months of
the year. Now, it opportunely•happans, that the nee:
month, the all-genial month of May, will not only
abound with natural funlhine, but with the forilhiae
of Fortune into the bargain. The fplendid luminary
of the approaching grand Lottery is in full proof.
Many adventurers will balk in its cheering rays—in
a funlhine, in fhort, that can fuddenly bring tore•
tune's Votaries out of objeurity, ami make them /7:.:
in the fphere of the wealthy.

for an enemy's (hip to efcape, or to get any prizes,
