MAY VI IVerther. This piece is, we inspect, a translation of one of the same title, now performin4 at the Theatre Iks litricles in Paris. Thc idea is a very good one ; for subjects will less stand the test of ridicule, or firm better materials for the mock•lieroie drama, than this extravagant and popular German story. The author has nut failed to seize on its prominent itUsurdities, and to introduce them, either in description or in action. The waltzing with Citarlutte ; the attachment to the thread-bare blue coot he wore at their nweting ; aad the incident of cutting bread and butter for his chit lien arc ludicrously set forth ; the catastrophe is got rid of, by Waffler's shooting his hat instead of hian elf ; when lie appears, and, after reproaching all panics for not interfering atter his ostentatious request Inc pistols is 9 packed ott j in the Munich diligence. The piece was uncommonly well acted ; and Liston, who played Wcrther gave as much effect to it as was possible ; but it was so fiir front being favourably received, that the announcement fhr rcpetitition was nut permitted to be heard. One Lrause may have been, that the allusions were imperfectly understood ; fur this little drama certainly posses.ses merit, though of no very exalted kind. Extract of n letter from Berlin, slated April e 5 : " The wedding of the Princes:a Fredericka, daughter of b u r Royal Highness the Duchess of Cumherland, took place on the 17th inst. and was celebrated with great splendour. The bridegromn, the reigning Duke of Atholt Dessau, is a young man of great promise, aged 24. The marriage party were at the Opera on the 19th when the King conducted the Princess to her seat in tl.e Royal box, amid the plaudits of a most brilliant as a.snablage, the Court being present. On the 21st his Majesty gave a grand masquerade at the Opera-house ; on which occasion the public were treated with every kind of refreshment : and last night the brother of the Princess, Prince Frederick, gave a magnificent ball at splendid residence in William-street, which was lately furnished for his own marriage with the Princess of Berenburg. Next week the august couple go to Potsdam, whence, after some farther festivities, they will proceed about the Ist of May for Dessau, the residence of the Prince." A fact, not stated in the Supplementary Gazette of Tuesday, respecting the affairs of India, but which transpired a fortnight since, is now confirmed by the latest intelligence from the East. We allude to the dreadful pestilence which prevailed in the camp of the Governor-General. On the first day on which it was observed distinctly, it curried off 97 persons ; on the next day above 500 perished. Its ravages are said to have been chiefly, though not exclusively, confined to the poorer classes of natives and camp-followers ; but we learn with regret that the Marquis of Hastings was himself ut one time afikted with this malady, and that 17 of his lordship's native servants died. When the accounts came away, however, hopes were enter tained that the progress of the disorder bad been ar rested. At a recent meeting of the Catholic Boerd in Dub lin, a letter from the Earl of Dononghmore was read, in which he advises the Catholic Body not to again bring forward their question in Parliament, without a full and previous assurance of the attendance and sup port of it:: friends. Tuesday, the Church Missionary Society held their Alerting at Freemasons' Hall, which, at an early hour, was crowded to excess, and hundreds retired fA' want of room. The Chair was taken by Lord Gam bier; after which the n:ceting wc re addressed in seve ral interesting speeches by the venerable Bishop of Norwich, the Bishop of Gloucester, Dr. Thorpe ; James Stephens, ‘V, Wilberforce, T. Babington, Evs. &c. &c. After which a liberal collection uas made for the So ciety. It was announced that 2151. had been collected after a sermon by Professor Farish in the morning, and that the funds had increased to an unprecedented extent ever since the Opposition made by the Archdeacon of Bath. The .revenue for the last year is 23,7001. The meeting closed with the whole assembly standing up rmd singing the 117th Psalm.

He asked me it I um:44kt lie remit I request tees of 51. de Cazee, by revealing to lain a conspiracy • Mike tnreetened the Duke's life; I unsweriel, that a service of this nature would certainly give him a clams to his attention, but that it was very difficult to induce the Duke to pay ally attention, to menaces of an auk upon his person, and that it would requ'aed strong evidence to remove the natural suspicion that the whole was an invention to further some prieete views. lle replied Mat, as far as be himself was concerned. he had nothing to ash, as he was definitively candenmed for the part that. he ilia:wird; that, more over, he was free from restraiet, Led !brunet outer plans, and Led no desire to return to France; that he was only tuelitted to divulge the conspiracy from the horror with which airtassination inspired him, anal tl:at the orly advaresee he wished to derive from it was to render a service to his friends. I enquired of him how he ob tained informatior. of the projected conspiracy: he said that an of (1 believe on half.pay), whom he had from time to time sup plied with the mcani of subeiq.ance, had eutinuunieated to him an O'er which had been made to Ititu SJllle mouths previotiely to carry it into execution, which he had refultel, and another individual had ccepted it; that the latter had been paid during four months by those who employed him : that he had been the whole of that time constantly watching the Duke wherever he went, and he was at the : motorist eete'oliehed to l'arL, where he waited his arrival. The per son who . gave me this infernuition added, the blow is meditated by a party which is totally ditfierent from that whose caw: I have opousee., and is even opposed to it. I then told him that I would without delay impart. what he had related to me; but I desired to know by what means he proposed to expose the plan, or at all events to pre vent the afters ut it immediately; he answered that there were two methods of doing it; that he neve: would.conseet to be the instru ment of bringing any one to putifelunent. and that he was not in a position to do so.; but that it wuule be iuipseseilile for him to repair to France without a special passport ( sauficoedeit), and that it he could procure one Irvin the Police etinister. or the Duke of he would return thither ; that this would suffee, and in twenty four hours lie woad cermiuly denounce the pereon, whom the lichee could bare ho difficuLy in recognizing as an ad venturer, and a foreigner, of which they would afterwards be convinced ; that if this meaetiec was not approved, he would cedes. your to learn Item a trirud the which the wretch had assumed, and, if possible, has description, sufficiently exact to be useful, al though it was to be feared, that he would render this last difficult, by means of disguising himself. This is what he has agreed to pet. form. If I can obtain .t froin him before the departure ot the courier, I will Miarinunleate it to you. " ' Such has been the subject of our conversation, the details of which are of a nature to induee ins to give this rectal credit enough to convince me of the necessity of instantly inforeitne you. It is for you to decide whether it is requisite to inform the Duke of it. It it be judged expedient to forwent the passports, I will endeavour to ac celerate the cepartare of the person by tee diligence, without losine an instant. I rio not perceive what advantage this individual wculd derive trees inventing such an alter. winch would place him in the hands of Cie police daring the whole time he might be Se Paris, and whose only ultimate advantage would consist in the favour granted to his friends.

(Signed) " • KINNAIRD.' On the 13th Feb. I received the answer of Gtu. Murray, who announced to me that the Duke of Wellington did not attach any importance to the news; that he himself conceived the report to be a perfidious contrivance (unc at(rappe), but he thought. then I should blame myself (as others would ZWIIIISe me), if any misfortune hap pened, tot too much reserve on my part, in not naming the person nom whom I received the communication. _ . . .. . - ... •• I then wrote a secutul letter to General Murray, of whieb the following is a copy : " ' Brussels.

'• If I properly interpret the concluding part of your letter, lam compelled toddler with you in opinion, and even to believe that you have net understood my first communication. You appear to hclicve that I shah reproach inpant with haying acted wrong, as it napea:s to you that others will ako accuse use of the same, it an attempt were to take place at this inu,uent, because I have not given the name of the individual who cillkred himself to convince you of the truth of his deJaiations: if I do not deceive myielf, I have told you that this man (who cannot enter France without a previous guarantee of enure safety for has person) Las offered to depart for Ran. , *with any person you will appoint, and wamake known to you, in forty-tight hours,.the individual :iota whoi there is every thing to year, without requiring any recompence. or any other advantages than a safe eon duct which should Le tarnished him ; and that the intervention of the Duke would no: be looked for until the conspiracy altould be dis covered. •• • As I do not perceive that this individual could promise him self any advantage, as you very jast!y remark, from the contrivance of this design, and that a journey to Faris under the direction of the police could produce him no benefit, I red-ard the guarantees which he offers as suillcient, and I think it rea.soui.ble enough, that lie re taus at the same dine to make known his residence to the police of France, on account of persecutions, whielt he would have but too mu .:1) reaon to dread. • • In other relpeetg, whatever you mzy flank of it, my confidence perfretle traugml; only if any misfortune clip U ittyptu, tuy re.

This was a degradation which lu• trusted their Lordships would consider lee was justified in refusing to undergo, anti he hod rather preferred throwing him/ellen the mercy and the justice of their Lordships.
