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

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.

« The risque of being captured by the

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.

Ohferver, noticed with much

Mr. Marlhall is certainly one of the
mod gentlemanly men, that has been seen
on a Stage.
At a meeting of upwards of 120 gentle

''• The general May

13. The State Governments. May
their citizens ever bear in mind that the
