tained such just and extensive celebrity, at least be-
trayed no trivial portion of boldness and ambition.
The undertaking, however, a as completely borne out
by the result. This gentleman seems to be abort the
middle age, his figure is rather tall, his voice powerful
and sonorous, and his countenance susceptible of great
force and variety of expression. He evinced a perlectly
true conception of his author, and the portraiture
of the worldly-minded hero, always correct, some-
times displayed felicity. In some points we thought
we discerned an imitation of the style of COOKE, and
we could have wished occasionally for a little more
suavity in the lighter scenes ; but these are trifling
specks upon a performance which, reviewed as a
whole, may be pronounced a vigorous and masculine
delineation of the character. The part is, perhaps, I
of too peculiar a nature to enable usio infer the pre- i
cise department of his profession' for which Idr.l

whole of the Cabinet Ministers. The Council did not
break up till half-past five. It was summoned by
Mr. Pancavan, but the summonses were not issued
till between nine and ten o'clock yesterday maming.
It has since been reported that at this Council it was
agreed further to prorogue Parliament to the 21st of
January, when it will meet for the dispatch of busi-
ness, instead of the 7th, as formerly agreed upon.
It appears that BILENIER, who so skilfully retreated
from Almeida, is the new Governor of Ciudad

It is said that MURAT bas been denounced by Bo-
NAPARTE for disaffectimi to his Government, disobe.
dience of orders; and tvgleet of duty, in not carrying
into execution the plans and views of the French Ty-
rant ; and that-61mm aware of this, has taken up
a menacing position, and means to bid defiance to any
4ttempt of removing him, prbridcd he finds that his
