A new Comic Opera, called Zitina ; or, 7%e Tree
of Health, was produced at this Theatre on Saturday.
The scene is laid in Peru, and the story is the disco..
very to the Spropiaris of the Peruvian Bark. The
music, songs, and scenery constitute its chief merit.

T. DititoV, who his, no this occasion, borrowed the
ground.work of his Drama from Madame GcNLts'

Opera, if it must so be denominated, is the Parody,
by BRAIIAIII, arid sung by him, which is an adapta-
tion of the famous Byline de A 1 arseillois to words
directly applicable to the present contest between
Spain and her American Colonies. The enthusiasm
with which this was received is a powerful demonstra.
tion of the strong feeling which the Public Paternal,
upon this subject; the song was twice encored, and
the theatre resounded with the thunder of the plau.
dits. The piece was given cot for to-morrow night,
not without some opposition from those who consider
that good music is no apology for a bad drama. Tire
house was excessively crowded.

On Sitorday morning the 11.04ke of CLAKEfeCE ar.
rived at his residence in St. James's Palace from
Bushy. His Royal Hirgiiness received a visit from

originally proposed, her Royal Highness will rental.

Meeting celled to provide the means of administering
to the wants of the sothrtenate sebjects of such ins-

which a Committee may be appointed, to make the

to a future Meeting.
It is by no means. fit, because the virtual Repre-
sentatives of the People, as they tall themselves, chose
to appear satisfied with a conduct, which has in.

temporary delegation, similar to that which I have
flitentinned.
