The dinner having ended at :shoot ten o'clock, the 1
company to the number of nearly 3011 retired, and about
150 remained behind, fur the purpose of joining the
evening party, who about that time began to assemble
in vast multitudes, eager to partake of the pleasures of
the flall. The tables in the Egyptian Hall were re••
inured, and refreshments were arranged upon side-
boards fur the use of the company. The dancing isittne-
diately commenced ; but, though the crowd was great,
the company were not so touch incommoded as on former
occasions. The Ladies %sere elegantly dressed, and there
was a delicious display of youth am! beauty. Nut only
the internal but the external arrangements were excel-
lent. The Marshals disposed of the Lity Officers under
their controul to the best advantage in p►eserving order,
and the access of the company to the Mansion-llouse did
not suffer the least interruption whatever. The Lord
1 Mayor did the honours of the day with a more than or-
dinary degree• of that cheerfulness.which so peculiarly
belongs to hive ; and the whole concluded in as orderly
a matins r a► might be expected from the great numbers
of the company.

ITNE'S.

DRURY LANE.
Jane Shore was performed here last night, and though
WALLACE was PHICe rf Gio'sfer, and though he filled
the character with diets, the performance of the piece
on the whole was deficient in interest. Gioneuri in Lon-
don followed ; and the clottacter of Giovanni was, in
consequence of thee indisposition of Madame Vest Tells
played, and with a great deal of spirit by Miss CUEITT.
I'OV ENT ARDEN THEATRE.
This establishment opened last night with Virginias;
a tragedy whose popularity, owing to lice great actiNg
of Maceesnv as its hero, is still upon the increase, and
bas not yet arrived at the lseight of its destined celebrity.
The temporary retirement of Miss Foorts left Virginia
to find a new reprusetitatire. Miss BEAUMONT was
fitted upon, and did the character much greater justice
than we mild have expelled. After the play a new
melo drama, called VivlimeSpirit qf the
Waters, was produced. lt is from a German story, and
very similar to the many others which have been
brought out as mere exhibitions of scenery at this house.
An immense expense intist have been expended in the
gilding and painting for this piece, and although it wet
with unqualified succes,-, we very Flinch doubt whether
it will ever bring back the money n hick it (must cost
the managers.
SADLER'S WELLS.
Tisis theatre opened last night under a new manage-
ment, which has comuiencetl with spirit. The per-
formances begun with a Mallet; a melo-drama from the
Freneh, entitled 'the Maintain list, followed, and the
last piece of the evening was a very clever and atuusing
production, which is likely to prove a great favorite,
called Raster floating.
ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE
This theatre opened its campaign, last night, with
all its distinguishing peculiarities. The performances
commenced with a comic dance by the whole corps de
/Pallet, abounding wills strung humour. The spleadid
Oriental Spectacle of The Secret Mine followed, and
after the usual display of horsemanship, as admirable
HarlePiaiiinds was presented, founded on the well
knuwu story of the Idle and Industrious Appetit-
iices.

SURREY THEATRE.
This theatre has received, during the late short re-
cess, very considerable improvements. The entertain-
ment of the evening commenced with the classic bur-
lett* 7'he Darghters of Donau and Sons Etypters.
which was received with more than usual applause.—
The melo-dramatic spectacle of Alonzo the Brave end
the jerk hnogifie followed, and a new burletta, called
The two Oregorier, or where did the Money comet five,
was the last, though not the least diverting part of the
evening's amusement.
OLYMPIC.
The efforts of the Proprietors of this little Theatre to
afford amusement to the public, have been very success-
fully renewed. M. ALex AN DR r., the celebrated Ventri-
loquist, made his appearance here last night, and for
the first time on a British Stage. His illusions in the
various parts of his performance, and particularly in the
second and third, gave the highest satisfaction.
ADELPHI
This little Theatre wan crowded last night. The first
piece performed was Kenilworth, and a Dramatic trifle,
called Feney's *ketch, conclude the bill of fare for the
night. The performers spared no efforts to give effect
to situatiins and incidents of the conimon-place do
scription.
COBOURO THEATRE.
This splendid Theatre commenced its season yester-
day evening. At an early hour a vast crowd assembled
at the doors, which no somber opened, than the beam
filled. The elegant deceratioes, with the new drop ses .
min, and the handsome elmedeliers gave a bewailsl
eery de Wit SO the mlegriag spectators. who demon-
strated their satishetiee by motional load cheering.
T o tout ainahle was elegant in the extreme, and the
two new melo-dramse went off with the /natal eclat.
ENGLISH OPRRA MOMS.
Mr. Marreiws was here, "'at home" last sight, and
the estertaiment he had PM/and fee his neurons

LONDON:
TUZIMAT ItYLNING, APRIL 24, 1821.
EXTRACTOR A PRIVATE LZTTER roost MADRID, APRIL 8.
" The news of the cowardice of the Neapolitans has
produced a strong sensation here, but very different
from what might have been suspected by those who
have not a just idea of the Spanish character. Far
from being frightened for the future, their confidence.
seems to have been roused by the intelligence. In the
mean time the Government is aware of the intrigues
of the servilee, and their connection with our foreign
enemies: rigorous measures will be immediately
adopted, to put an end to all their secret manoeuvres.
It is said that many foreigners have been detected hold-
ing correspondence with some neutral Governments.
by which they appear to have been sent as emissaries
to foment disorder in the Peninsula, in order to have
pretext to allow foreign armies to march to Spain. The
Cortes have consequently determined to keep a side!
watch upon all foreigners, partieularly those of di&
tiortion. The whole of the population throughoat
Spain and Portugal are perfectly united, and ready to
rise in case of danger. The traitors who are generally
of the same cast with those who betrayed their coun-
try in the time of Bonaparte, will never be able to
make any kind of counter-revolution, without the as-
sistance of Weil:nets. The pretended parties we hear
of by the French papers, are mere bands of vagabonds,
which were even mm re numerous two years ago than
they now are. They are the very same ; they were
then spoken of by our neighbours as banditti, (which
was generally true,) hut, now they are faithful loyal
-valists ! They are indeed worthy of their praises."

Paris papers of Saturday have arrived this morning.
They contain accounts from Madrid of the 13th inst.
Thirty-six men who were under the command of Don
J. Arija, one of the Lieutenants of Merino, have hcen
taken at Peonet, near Burgos. A great many horses
and some ammunition have fallen into the possession
of the troops that pursued them. Merino himself
has retired to Atiruza in the mountains of Alcarria.
All the national guards of fined&faxen' and the
neighbouring towns have been despatched in pursuit of
those wloi have escaped. The Minister of Interior
has issued a circular to all the political chiefs of
Spain. In this be states that the events of Naples
may induce persons desirous of disturbing the public
peace, to avail themselves of the present crisis, for
putting into execution their criminal designs; but that
the King in order to frustrate attempts of this nodule
has charged him (the Minister) to inform the political
chiefs that they must adopt such measures as their
zeal may dictate, and as circumstances require, in re-
sisting and putting down the secret enemies of the
system, &c. &C.
The Cortes held sittings on the 10th, llth, and 12th,
instant. The projet respecting patriotic societies has
undergone sonic further discussion, and several articles
Dave been adopted. The Commission in presenting a
projet respecting State processes, made some remarks
on the necessity of taking energetic measures for the
prompt administration of justice, and the punishment
of offenders, who by supporting some laws that were
not yet abolished, attacked the Constitution in the

very fare.
The discussions have also been resumed on the pro-
jet of law relative to the infractions on the Constitu-
tion during the eristcnce of the late legislature. A
petition was presented to the Cortes, from some of the
guards, requesting to he formed into a detachment, to be
employed in pursuit of factious individuals, who under
the UAW of royalists, acted in *manner most inimical
to the King's interest. Referred to government to
determine as might be thought proper.
By an article dated llilan, it appears that several
individuals, subjects of Austria, had bees found in
the territory of his Sardinian MAJESTY without pass-
ports, and that they had in consequence been cited to
re-enter the Italian States of Austria, and present
themselves before the proper authorities at Milan,
under penalty of being proceeded against, accotdiag
to-the terms of the Decree, dated Feb. 8, 1812.
The insurrection of Moldavia and IVallachia excites
great attention at Vienna. The insurgent chiefs are
commencing operations with their respective forces.
Taconoam is proceeding towards the Danabe to seise
upon Nicopoli. Prince YPSILANTI directs his coarse
towards Hirsowa and Silestria in order to occupy the
ports of the Black Sea, and he is in ready com-
munication with the Greeks of the Russian pro-
vinces near this sea. The Greeks in Bulgaria
have commenced their movements ; many of the
friends of Tasonomic have gone into Servia to distri-
bute proclamations. A corps of Berrien*, it is said, is
already funned in the environs of Nista. It is re-
ported that troubles have also appeared in Macedonia.
