London, February 8. Mr. Hallam, brother to Mrs. Mattocks,
has lately had a letter from America, inviting him to the
direction of three theatres in the principal cities of
America, viz. New-York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Mr.
Henry, joint manager with Mr. Hallam, is now in town,
raising some theatrical troops for the company, at handsome
salaries. - Mr. Hallam, at the beginning of the war, having
an intimation from Congress, that he and his company would
be dispensed with in America, went to the West-Indies, where
he has since mostly remained; but the war being now over, he
has received a genteel invitation, to recompence him, in
some measure, for his honorary banishment.
