OCT. 11 l'ltE DRURY LANE. The Daenna was repeated here un Mon(lry night, in compliance with the "particular desi:•c of the Grand Duke )lichael. His Imperial Highness did not arrive until near the conclusion of the Opera, when " God Save the King" was sung. The distinguished visitor, with a pat•t of his suite, occupied Prince Leopold's box, and was noticed with that cordial expression of good le.clin4 which ever• animates the English people to wards strangers. His Imperial Highness did not re main above an hour at the Theatre, and sat so retired, as to be scarcely visible to the audience. The perthrtn ers acquitted themselves with great spirit and success. Madame Bellgar, no longer discomposed by apprehension, but evidently animated by the kind encouragement she received on her first appearance, executed her songs with increased satisfaction. The Ckittreil in the Wood fillewed; anti Mr. 11. Johnston, as IValte , •, gave proofs of ability, that deserved, we think, a better sphere. IVedneaday night the excellent Comedy of The Sus. ficious Husband was performed at this Theatre. Mrs. Mardyn appeared tbr the first titue this season, in the character of Jacinikii. She looks remarkably well in her male attire, and as fascinating as ever in her own proper habiliments. She played with sprit, and was extrttni ly well received. Mr. Harley also resumed his processional duties in this place in the character of./rick Aleggint; he was greeted on his enLrte with a most cordial reception. Mr. Stanley played Ranger. This gentleman was correct ; we had all the sentiments of BorL : er , but the spirit which gave animation to those sentiments was wanting. Mrs. Glover, as Lucinda; Mrs. Urger, as Mrs. Strickiand: and Mrs. Alsop, us Dice(la, did ample justice to the tasks assigned therm Mr. Powell played Strickland toast respectably. The comedy was foliowed by the farce of Love Laughs at Lockoniths, in which a Mr. Williams made his first appearance befitre a London audience in tl.t.t character of Tone: ton. Front the specimen presented to us, he appeared to possess some claim to public approbation ; Lis reception was flattering. CO VENT.G,II: DEN. Monday night, after the comedy of The Way to Keep Him, in which Mr Farren perfhrmed Si, Bashful Coll stwit fitr the second time, with tie same success as on the first occasion, tile pantomime M Harlequin Gulliver was represented, in which, as the hills stated, Alessrs. Mahier and Chalon, two French e . : , ritletuen, were to astonish the public by their performances. Only one of them, however, made his appearance; and his feats were, on the whole, not so extraordinary as we hal been led to expect : they consisted in leaping, longitudinally, over a chariot and horses—jumping through hoops— and some other exercises of that kind. An .inelined plane was erected at the Lack of the stage, leading to a platform which faced the orchestra. Tire performer ran down the plane, and leaped from the plazform, which was about six feet high.. So far us the mere act of leaping is concerned, we think Ireland, Brown, and toilers whom we have seen, superior to the French Gentleman. But his seizing a bottle in one hand and a g:ass in the other, when in the act of flying over a table, and his jumping into a night-gown, when leap ing through a paver barrel, are novel tricks, and not deficient in ingenuity. His reception was by no nie:ins encouraging. Loud cries of " tiff, Off !" t•ywther with hisses and applause attended him during the greater part of his yerthrenanee. Sher idan's comedy of The Rivals was acted on Thurs day night at this theatre with great success. The Sir Anthony Absolute of the evening was assigned to Mr. W. Farren, being his first performance of that character ; and, though far from a part of so much refinement, complexity, or difficulty as any of his firmer attempts, has certainly added to his rapidly-growing reputation, and his deserved estimation with the public. This gen tleman is an actor of that sterling merit as to improve in his progress by strongly-marked gradation, and to gain ground in our good opinien every time he appears on the stage. He bids fair, .we think, to restore the good old times of comedy, when character. and not caricature, was the object of all of his profession who sought t o be populnr, and bethre the public taste was vitiated by those monstrous combinations of farce .and sentiment which have so long infested the stage. Mr. W. Farrctt's advantages are equally supplied him by art and nat are ; his conception is as perfcet as his execution, while both are kept in and restrained by a true Omer trance and perfect comprehension of all that is striking in sentiment and character. ;le never by any accident so fur loses his self-possession as to deviate into extrava fiance. All his touches are chaste and delicate, yet tell with such complete effect to the most distant parts of the theatre, that the audience scent to antieljeue by his previous gestures all that he is going tees(?) , or to du.-- His best passeges in The Rivals were those where his indignation is roused at the supposed indliference of his son to the description of the charms of his mistress, tied Ahe scene where he niscovers and reminds Captain Abso lute of the hypocrisy he had practised. His performance, •as all who know his figure and manlier will suppose, was very different lama that of Mr. Dowtoo; he pre- Tim NATIONAL REMSTr,IL AIX-LA-CHAPELLE. 4.—There' has been no conference to day, on account of the indisposition of the Russiau Minister, Count Calve d' Istria. This being the /i•';:-day of the Emperor of Austria, it was expected that he would go to the. Cathedral Church in great state, and that he would afterwards hold a Court, at which all the Fo reign 41inisters and the suites of the different Sove reigns would be presented ; but this expectation was disappointed in both cases by the indisposition of his Imperial Alajesty. 'l•he I)eke of Kent arrived here last night, and was this morning visited by the Emperor Alexander. His Royal Highness being lodged at the Redoubt, in the most frequented part ot' the city, a great crowd collected a!asut Alexander when he alighted, and shouted Fine 11;:npereur., the words to which they were trained in the time of 13aonaparte. A little before two o'clock, Lord Castlereagh waited upon his hoyul High ness, and offered him the use of his carriage to the hotel of the Kiug of Prussia, where a grand dinner was given to the Emperor Alexander and all the Allied • Ministers. The party began to arrive about half-past one, and the dinner was over before four. The Empe ror of' Austria was absent, from the saute indisposition which prevented bias from seeing company in the morning. Besides the Etnwror of Russia we observed the arrival of the Duke of 'Kent, the Duke of Welling ton, Lord Castlereagh, the Duke of Richelieu, Prince Metteruich, Prince flardenberg, Prince Witgenstein, and several other great political and military charac ters A great ball is given by the city to-night, in honour of the Allied Sovereigns, and the felt of the Emperor of Austria. The Sovereigns and the Minis ter:: arc expected to attend. About a thousand tickets have been distributed, and many claims for admission, backed by nsost respectful authority, have been rejected, from the impossibility of accommodating all the claim ants. Prince Augustus, of Prussia, left this place some time ago, and Madame Recamier three days afterwards. The sister of the Emperor of Russia, the Princess of Orange, is expected at the country-house of the Empe ror to spend there some days. Among the number of strangers whom the Congress has attracted to Aix-la-. Chapelle, we observe the celebrated Mr. Owen, of New Lanark, who has just come from Frankfort on the Maine. He is come here to present a memorial to the Allied Sovereigns and Ministers. It is printed in three different languages, in English for Lord Castlereagh, and in French and German for the other great person ages of Congress. He left the Diet at Fraukfort dis cussing the military organization of Germany, without receiving any answer to his Fueifie project, or being called upon to explain its deta Is. Whether the Sove reigns will choose to adopt it, and place themselves at the head of' viilag.es instead of empires, I shall not pre tend to divine ; theugh my opinion is that Mr. Owen will not succeed better at Aix-la-C►ral+.lle in pross.!ytis ing their Majesties, than the Quaker did who Kent to Rouse to convert the Pope. Ocz.s.—The Duke of Kent left Aix-la-Chapelle this morning at 8 o'clock. The question of the evacuation of France is now talked of in all societies as decided As yet the formal act has not been signed, but the sen timents of the Ministers and Sovereigns all concur iu the measure, which only now waits their official sanc tion. The greatest difficulty in the ulterior arrange ments, and in the settlement of the securities, will arise, it is said, on the part of Prussia. This power, it eciii be remembered, showed the greatest dissatisilaetion ut the delays that occurred in the uffiiir ef the private re clamations, and probably dreads similar iaeonvenienc es in the payment of the contributions, unless the gua rantees shall be altogether unexceptionable. The gene nil details which I sent you as prospectively those to be adopted, are in the main correct, and will meet the views of all the Powers. The ball given by the City last night was very bril liant, and will be long remembered in the morals of the Redoubt of Aix-la-Chapelle. The houses opposite the ball room in this pile of buildings were illuminated. Prussian gendarmes on foot and horseback attended, to keen order and clear the streets for the carriages. The company began to arrive at seven o'clock. Every car riage in the town and neighbourhood was put in requi sition, and many of them, likc our coaches employed in bringing electors to the pull, returned and brought successive quotas. The Emperor of Russia and King of Prussia arrived about eight o'clock, %rich their suites. The Empem'or was dressed in a Prussian unificin. They were, of round, the principal objects of attraction dur ing their stay, which was nearly an hour and a half.— Nor were they idle spectators of the gaiety of the soene, or inactive spectacles thr the public gale Their Imperial and Royal Ma 4 esties danced a l'o/uaui4e with great spirit with the Doke of Kent, the Doke of Riche lieu, Lord Castlereagh, stud other distinguished per sons. the Princess of . four aid Taxie, her daughter, the Duchess of Kent, the Countess<ef Metternich, (sister iu law of the Violet-r), Lady Castlereagh, and u'hcr ladies. Her Royal Iligbness the Duchess of Kent attracted paiticidar attention by the rit.hoess of her dress and the splendour of her jewels. The dances were principally qiadrilles and waltzes.

Mr. C. Kemble played the part of Captain Absolute in general with peculiar felicity, but he failed in delineating a beautiful expression of tenderness when he is about to return to his mistress the portrait of herself which she had given him. Mt. Liston was not happy in Acres, compared with his usual style, but in the peculiar expression of cowardice he displayed in perfection his own iuhuitatle talent. Miss Brunton, in Lydia Languisk, sustained her former reputation throughout, but appeared to most advan. tage in the scene where she discovers that Captain Ab. solute and her lover Beverley are the same person.-- Mrs. Faucit made an interesting Julia; and Mrs. Da venport, as Mrs. Malaprop, did not murex any of the scenes in which she was engaged to languish. EN GUSH OPERA-HOUSE. On Monday night this elegant theatre closed for the season ; and we are happy to be able to state, which we do from our own knowledge, that it has been tba most favourable one since it first opened, in 1809. The following address was delivered by Mr. Harley : " Lantas ran GenTrussr.—As I have frequently had the opportimity of making you laugh, I scarcely know how to present myself oil so in•lawho.'y an occasion as that of bidding you farewell. The Proprietor, however, having deputed me to perform the Antral ohsevies of the season. you will, I trust, excuse me if 1 should net acquit myself on so solemn a business with the usual and becoming gravity. The Proprietor. Ladies and Gentlemen, has redeemed the promise he made at the close of last season. He has exerted every efort to merit a continuance of your favour, and has been amply repaid by a season of unprecedented prosperity, notwithstanding the serious drawback which the strength of the Company has sustained by the long and severe illness of Miss Kelly, woo is now so happily restored to us. In less than /mr months no fewer than thirteen new pieces and revivals have been bought out ; and it is no small boast, in the present state of Theatricals. to say, that the novelties preduced hove, without a single exception, been sanctioned by your entire op protAtioa. Thus encouraged, the Proprietor desires me to assure you of his continued efforts to conciliate your favour; and though the tmexpected limitation of his English ()pure Licence to four months only, has shackled his means of providing you numa. - :ment, he trust; that his Theatre may still be kept in your friendly recol lection; and that without infringing on the suopeied rights of P.a.. tent Monopolies, he may occasionally he enabled to invite you here. with such pertininances and exhibitions as the Low a dorm. The Proprietor, Ladies and Gentlemen, tenders you, through me, his warmest acknowledgments ; and io my own name, and the names of all the performers, whom you have so kindly honoured with ' Lots' of applause, I beg to offer you Lots' of thanks, and ' Lots' of good wir/u4, till we inea again I" A little fracas took place the other evening at et bull at. Margate, but which happily terminated without any unpleasant consequences. A stranger (a naval officer dreesed in plain clothes,) requested the honour of a lady's hand ; it was refused on the plea of indispo sition. However, shortly after, the impolite female was led to the upper end of the room, by another gen tleman, for the express purpose of ring down the same dance. The repulsed claimant interfered, alleging suck conduct to be contrary to the rules of politeness; the lady's guardian came up and said, " Sir, that lady shall dance when, and with whom, I please !'' " That lady shall not dance when and with whom you please," was the reply. The first mentioned rejoined, " Shall not, Sir ! Ptey who are you ? Will you favour the with your card ?" -" Most readily," replied the latter.— " What are you doing ?" continued the first l'having observed his antagonist a long time fumbling in his waistcoat pocket)—" I am searching for my card, Sir." '• You need not take that trouble—for I have your address, in the lining of my hat."
