JINE 1 TILE DRA3IA. (::IVEST-GA RDEN. That frightful burlesque on common feeling and ec.ommon justice in France, the trial of the nteiekyers of Fnaldes, has at length taken its natural staw, and been turned intolo-drarae. The Cattle of Pa!uzzi, performed on Wednesday night, is the French murder thrown into a popbahle farm, and rescued from the re volting and abominable circumstances of the original by some deference for human feelings, and, wei ta it a i rn , ) , t said, the decency of human crime. The Count Sahriati Las married a reluctant beauty. Her lover, Ferdinaad, from whom she bad beat separated by treachery, re turns; the husband, with the 'help of a conferierete, aornezo, murders him The Countess has seen the act, and is about to be put to death to prevent detec tion, when she is savod by her husbe:W. The ?if:air cnnee before the tribunal, the Countess and her atten dant Zerina are accased. The Count is nrcsent, bat his wife dreads to accuse her preserver. Ze'rlina, however, :peaks out, as the French trial expresses it, and charges the crime on Soranza The Bagger is protium!, the Count seizes it p,lunges it in his broom, and perishes in despair. This is deep enough for Traged*, mere than repulsive enough for feeling; and yet it is otservable how much the author has been forced to soften and dimmish the or:gin , sl giddy infamy and dark abomina tion of the true French tale. What passes for an ex quisite display of sentiment in France, is fortunately tea Bass for the rude fictions of our stage; the romance this Frenc tribunal is too affected, revolting and dis graceful, far the extravagance of un English Theatre. The Melo-drame was well perfmned. Mrs. Faucit was the Countess, Mies Foote Zsrlina, Abbott, whose acting is always ra ional and manly, was Ferdinaxd, Terry the Old Marquis, Conn.,r Soranso, and Macreadv Sairiali. Same of the scenery was pretty, and that which gave the view of ,he murder by the reflection of a mirror was much apalanded. There was a tolerable dance by the corps de belles. The subject is still open, and if Farce will condescend to stele to the lowness of ite,buriesque, the most envenomed mockery could not find more copous food than in the pathetics of the French Law Ofhcers, the weeping Attorneys General., 'and senti.mentelizing Chief Justices, the Rouaseaus.on the Bench, and the Diderots at the Bar. This per formance is said to be written by a son of the late Mr. Raymond? Miss O'Neill is engsged at the Bath Theatre for six nightl. Her first appearance will be on the 13th of June, in the character of Be!lidera. The Tunisian squadron, which took refuge in Gi. braltar, continues to he closely watched and blockaded bly a Portuguese squadron. consisting of three frigates and two pi/lints, whose vigilance is represented as very ineommo ling to the barbarians. One of the frigates remains, constantly in the reed, while the rest of the squadron sets sail every morning to cruise in the Straits. The Tunisians will not venture to sail, fearing the re slit of an engagement wit's the Portuguese. Official accounts from St. Domingo state, that Gene ral Boyer has been elected successor- to Petion in the Presidency of the Black Republic. The accession of the new President took place without the least opposi tion, and the inhabitants appeared perfectly tranquil. and content with the change. The l'roclama•ioa of Boyer, published on the occasion, consists of a warm panegyric on the deceased Chieftain. The remainder of it is filled with thepraisessat the army and people to v.-horn it is addressed, and with solemn taguntnces on the part of the new President, that he will respect in violably the rights of property—that he will protect the enterprises of flireigrr and domestic commerce—and that t.e will regard as sacred, and preserve nnimisdred, the institutions and establishments of his " titignst prede cessor. ' The election of General Boyer to the Presidency of Hayti is gi nerally considered a favourable event for the commercial interest. Petion, his pre:lYcessoe, was s man little skilled in the true bearings of' (versions re inting to trade and commerce; and was, be:it:es, some what disposed to favour the natives, in a deg:-,c iietrirwntal, perhaes, to themselves and to ethers— The he..v rresiiheit. it is said, possesses mere enlight ened- views, and has evinced every disposition to carry them into execution.

He tecziveii the same, and having paid for it, left the shop.
