Mrs. Alar shall, whose superior powers
are ever exerted to please, has from the com

Theatre, been received with uninterrupted
applause. The anticipated gratification of
feeing her in two inch contralled chara&ers
as thoie of Juliet and the Romp, will un
doubtedly attraa a croudcd house, and leave
her no cause to regret her exertions to obtain
American patronage.

OBSERVER No. 3Gt
Mr. Fenno-,
The people who attended the Theatre
last evening, were highly gratified, by the
jjerforrnance, especially by that of Mra.
Warrell, whose benefit it was. This ac
tress, always perfed, in her part, clialle
and propei in action, has experienced the
approbation of the public, in a full house;
a circumstance which must give pleaflire
to every benevolent mi'iiL
Mr. Whitlock in the character of Sir
John Flowerdale in I.ioncl and Clarifia,
defeives particular notice; he has always
filled his part, with much propriety ; but
was truly great in it last evening. Upon
the discovering his daughter's affections
for Lionel, he exceeded all expectation.
In the muiical parts, Mrs. Warrell and
Mrs. Oldmixon, were fuccefsrul, in au
fwering.if not exceeding,tjtie high expecta
tions which were formed, from a know
ledge of their muiical talents.
The Observer, feels a juftification, for
a short address to a generous public, in
favor of Mrs. Marshall.
An aCtress, who has made so manv ex
ertions to please, and who has so well
succeeded, will not, perhaps, be in want
of any afiiftance, from the feeble efforts
of the Observer—But (hould he fail of
success, his attempt is derived from bene
volence :
The parts of Juliet, and the Romp,
alfigncd to this actress for Wednelday
evening, are such, as the public may pio
mife themselves, from her talents, a high
entertainment—and when they know that
Mrs. Marlhall'e benefit, will much depend
on their attendance in the firft instance,
as well as their approbation in the second:
The Observer cannot but anticipate a full
house, and is confident the audience will
| be richly entertained. '
No aftrefs has ever clone more, to obtain
die approbation of the friends of the Dra
ma, than Mis. Marshall; and it would
be painful, if ftie should be neglected, at
her benefit.

From a late Engl]Jh paper.
Tlie anxiety "of the public on the late
rumours, with refpeA to the king of Prus
sia and the Emperor, has naturally given
rife to a variety of ftorits j the truth or
faitliood of which it is not easy to afcer
taiu. It is said, however, and with pro
bability, as the cause of the; journey both
of the arch-duke to Vienna, and of lord
Elgin to England ; that the Pruflian mi
"ilter at BrulTels had presented an official
note to prince Charles, of so intereiling a
kind as to induce his highness to repair to
the head-quarter 3 to hold a consultation
with the prince of Cobourg and the other
chiefs, at which the Imperial and British
minilters assisted. The result of this coun
cil, hsld at Arth, the arch-duke thought
proper himfelf to var to Vienna, and
lord Elgin to England. The fubilance
of the communV ation is said to be an of
fer made to Piuffia by the French, so
wife, moderate, and political, as to in
duce him to entertain it cordially, and to
submit it seriously to the other combined
powers.
The King of Prussia cannot be purchased
for a million, and if he is to go to the highest
bidder, there cin be little doubt as to the re
s Lit.—The Frtudi Republic has, at this mo
ment, by the lowest computation, not less
than 40 millions sterling in its Exchequer.
The committee of Public Safety polTefiing
so large a stock, with so precarious an inter
est in it, will not be eaiily out-bidden, what
ever be the competition!
ANECDOTE.
One day the Arcbbilhop of Canterbury
said to Betterton, the player, " Pray inform
me, Mr. Betterton, what is the reason you
adtors, ou the flage, can afFeit your audieii
• ces, with fpcaking of tilings imagi ary, as
if they uere real; while we, in the church,
i'peak of ihings real, which our congregations
receive, as if they were only imaginary ?"
" Why, my Lord, replied Betterton, the
reason is plan: We aiflors, on the llage,
speak of tilings imaginury, as if they were
real; and you, in the pulpit, speak of things
real, as if they wefv onty imaginary."
