General Dan Joseph De Torres, the, new Governo
of Tarragona, has just published the following' Pro
clamation:
Inhabitants of Tarragona—His Excellency-the
Count de•Coupigny, Governor of this Fortress, has been
called by his.. Excellency. the Captain-General of
.this
Principality near his person ; and in ci nsequence of that
measure, I have been provisionally charged with the,
political and military government of this place and the
district dependent on it: I receive with: distrust, inspired•
by a knowledge of my own- weakness, a charge of such
high importance; but the honour conferred upoti me
insvires the duty of sacrificing myself for your welfare.
The unhappy state of the Principality—the fatal ideas
gugpested to you by the vile *viten, of discord, who,
from private motives, endeavour to lead you to guilt,
and contempt of the awe and sovereign authority, and
to compromise your tranquillity, that principal basis of
order and happiness—the ridiculous reports spread
abroad that the garrison wish to establish the patrol
system, already abolished, to burn houses and convents,
to : rpsciibe and vex individuals—have no other object.
ban to spread trouble and disorder, by indisposirg the
people towards the tro-ps. But fear nothing; the mi-
gin.of these views is known ; the perfidious hypocrites,
deprived of all virtue, who inspire these alarms with
guilty dissimulation, are marked. Live in peace ; you
will rather be witnesses of the•r just punishment than of
she disunion of the troops and these honourable inhabi
tants. I can answer for the sentiments of this generous
garrison ; its wishes aspire to defend the•august person
and sovereignty of our legitimate Monarch:Ferdinand
VII. whom Goo preserve ; al.° to exact the obedience
due to the laws and authorities, and to preserve public
order, with the moderation and.discipline, which, above
all things, form the chief features in the character of
these defenders of chi throne; such is' the it duty, and
they will, in conjunction with me, and the other autho-
r. res, .attain the ends they have in view, . You know
t at, up to ibis day, there is not an`event of the least
imp dunce, not .its"- individual who can deny that as.
sertton, ark it, will for the future be strengthened by
fill tiler proof& . Continue, therefore, still to preserve
the same spirit of union, and testify by your conduct
your fidelity to his Majesty. This your provisional Go-
. vernor expects from the purity of your zeal.
(Signed) . JOSEBH DE TORRES."

THE THEATRES.
DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
00 Theatres seem determined to open their cam
poign with spirit, by bringing their best forces into the
fold at once. At this house the Hypocrite was per-
formed last night, in which Comedy LISTON made his
appearance; he was received with very great warmth,
and played in most excellent spirits. His performance
cf the miserable fanatic Maw worm is undoubtedly one
of the most natural representations on the stage, and the
character itself is such an irresistible specimen of the
ludicrous, that its extreme popularity in the hands of
arch an actor is easily to be understood.—Dowron's
colossal has been long and unanimously regarded as
another of the most perfect examples of the art, which
leaves nothing for criticises to condemn, and upon
which the language of panegyric has been exhausted.
—Miss E. Tugs, who played Charlotte with ease
and intelligence, is making that steady progress in
her profession which is the result of care and dili-
gence, and which will no doubt lead her to a very
considerable rank amongst its distinguished members.
After the Comedy and the Ballet of the Rossignol,
Ksmev'shighly p'pular Farce of Love, Law, and Physic,
introduced Liaros again as the Tooley-street hero. We
newer saw his humour more richly displayed, or more
effectual in provoking the laughter of all within its
i..fluence.—Mrs. ()Acta and some of the other perfor-
mers were frequently interrupted by fits of laughter,
• hitt) they could not repress. HARLtY gave his se-
pre,entation of I. lexibk with all his own mercurial
gaiety, and was encored in his song. The house was
well attended ; tile pit crowded.
