Mr. BARTLEY

Most respectfully begs Leave to inform the Public, that he received on Wednesday Morning an Intimation from Mr. ELLISTON, that

MADAME

CATALANI

Laboured under an Indisposition of so serious a Nature, that it precluded her from performing here on Friday Evening, as before announced.—In Compliance with Mr. Elliston's most positive Instructions, Mr. B. took every possible Mode, by Announcement from the Stage and Circulation of Bills round the Country, to prevent any Disappointment to the Audience; he has also delayed the Publication of the present Bill until the Arrival of this Day's Post, which has brought him the following Certificate from Madame Catalani's Physician, which he thinks it his Duty to give to the Public:—
