town, it was a truly affecting fight to fee old and venerable officers, gentlemen droop ing with years, Knights of St. Louis, ci tizens, women, in Ihort every description of the serious and orderly inhabitants, surrounding the horse which the Prince of Conde rode, eager to touch his cloaths to kiss his hands, and mix their tears ot joy with those of the followers of the Prince in his misfortunes. It was to this exalted character, a fpeftacle of the most affecting sensibility. The momentary silence which was occasioned by this hallowed language of nature, was inilantly interrupted by the universal acclamations of " Vive la Roi XVII. Vive Condi." " If the taking of Weifiembourg had been delayed, only 24 hour?, a corifi derablenumberofdecent-inhabitants, which this town contains, were to be l-ranfported into the heart of France, and imprisoned ■with so many thousands who groan now in iruiu, or who daily bleed on the fcaffold. LONDON, Dec. jo. Roland, the late miniiler of the Interi or ia Fiance, who died, by want in afo relt, in which he was obliged to conceal himfelf, was about 62 years of age, of a tall, but not robust figure, of unaffe&ed manners, and of much simplicity in his appearance, his grey hairs being constant ly permitted to flow over his (houlders. His literary powers it is unnece.Tary to notice. The fortrefs of Biche, which the Pruf fions unfuccefsfully attempted to take by a coup de main, appears like an Eagle's reft, perch'd oil the fumniit of a rock : the ratnparts are cut out in the middle of a rock ; the embrasures of the artillery, the magazines, and a very deep well, are equally so ; so that it is one of those ex traordinary places which can be only tak en by famine. It communicates bv an high road wth Wert and Haguenau, and by a more difficult one with Leitemberg and Bufiwdlet. It is thus in the power of the French troops to molest General Wurmfcr. The Revolutionary Tribunal has con demned to death Diipont Dutertre, Ex Minister of Justice, and Barnave, an Ex. Member. DUKE OF ORLEANS. The trial of this man occupied only four hoili-s. When the ast of accusation was read, he said, " that the day of his trial " would be the happitft of his life." He was sentenced to die at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 6th inft. and at four o'clock he was conveyed in a cart to the place of execution. 7he of the people were attentive ly fixed upon him. He discovered aftate of Itiipefaftion, which by some was tho't vompofure. The cart flopped by some accident upcn the Place de la Egalite, be fore his palace—He furveved it with milch attention, and turned' his head to look at it as long as he could. To the exclamations of indignation and curses bellowed upon him by the people he made no reply, nor did he appear much affected by them. When the cart arrived at the fcaffold, he jumped upon it firft, and im mediately laid down his head to undergo that puiiifhment to which he was sen tenced. UNITED STATES. NORFOLK, Feb. ig.

OBSERVER* No. IV. The Observer, being convinced, ef the tendency of Theatric exhibitions, to mend, and not to injure the human heart; and having been long conrerfant with the pre judices of feme good, and more bad men, who are opposed to the Stage, as produc tive of many evils to society and morals ; —has taken, and shall continue to take, a humble stand in the New Theatre, and as for as he is capable, to notice the whole, and occasionally publish his remarks. The Observer, has not the pleasure of a per sonal acquaintance, with either managers or performers, and barely knows their fa ccs by feeing them on the ftagc ; he feels himfelf, in consequence, unprejudiced. From the disposition of the managers, which appears in their exertions to oblige and gratify the public ; the observer pre sumes, he shall not ast an ungrateful part part to them, by observations, meant only as hints, and proposed for the execrife of their, and the performers judgments. With some knowledge in raufic, fomC acquaintance, and more affe&ion for the Drama, he promises to notice with can dor, as he certainly listens with delight; and if ever he wounds, it will be, with the purest intentions, to cure. • The Observer is fully sensible, tliat fomc imperfections, may occur, in effeftmg a business so extensive and complicated as the oversight of a Theatre, which can on- Iy be mended, by trial, and experiments j he IS happy to fee a number of reforma tions have already taken place, dictated by the good sense of the managers, and presumes they will continue to improve as experience shall dictate. Ihe Observer, cannot withhold a re mark in favor of the instrumental accom paniments, to the vocal music last even ing ; he thinks they have never exhibited more accurate judgment; the relative foft n™, ftrenglh, which true taste re quires alternately to be adopted, on fiich an occasion, is frequently either omitted, or the (hades run into each other, so as to confound* Mrs. Warrel's voice, both a 3 finger, and speaker, may be daffed among the et: one ari( f articulates with gr M pro^aetT -rs*. Mardiall appears to poflefs, almost aI we wish in an aftreft: But an elevation or voice, and a more diftindt articulation, would certainly add to her (hare of merit, which 19 already great.—* Perhaps Mrs. MarfhalTs voice will on repetition, adapt itfelf better to the space. The observer hints to her, to speak a lit tle flower. Meflrs. Bates and Darley, and Mrs. Ohferver, noticed with much latisfattion, did not, last evening, derogate °FL t ' leir former portion of applause. Mr. Marlhall is certainly one of the mod gentlemanly men, that has been seen on a Stage.

May the people of every country be permitted to enjoy that government which they think feed adapted to produce their Jiappinefa. 7- May the United States soon have a refpeaable naty, and its harbours well for tified. , 8.
