THEATRE. The performance at the Theatre to-mor row evening promises much gratification to the public. The Weft Indian is a piece of well known merit, and when aliilted by the maftcrly abili*i-S of Mr. Lbal>n:rs end other performers of merit, will .un doubtedly render the highest fatislaeiion. The consideration moreover of rewarding a petfenmir of li.s m rit, whose exer tions to pleak, have been so diitingudhed, will doubt Ida be a very powerful motive in attracting a refpedabie audience. — We can fay little of the Pantomime, only tha; in the general character of Harlequin, Mr. Chalmers is said not to have left an equal behind him. By this Day's Mail. , PORTSMOUTH, May 10. Arrived here on Wednesday lad, the brig Betty, John Salter, Jim. matter, in 48 days from Da.t 1110 m h,( Eng. )Captairi Salter communicates the followinginlereft ing particulars —That two days previous to his leaving Dartmouth, it was currently reported, that the French had taken Guern feyanJ Jersey:—that the day h- left that place, other corroborating accounts of the lame ta£t had Been received—much credit was'given to the intelligence by many in Dartmouth—that there was a very hot press in molt of t'h - Briiiifh Ports, and that orders had been HRied to double the militia; That about 25 fail of the line had failed From Breit, a variety of conjectures were formed of their destination, among which tiiat, they had gone to the Well-Indies, with a new to recapture some of their if larids was the molt prevailing. Capt. Sal ter inform that Capt. M'Qaoid in the fchooiier L'ttle John of Baltimore bound to Bremen, Capt. Ramirsage, in the Brig Mavv Ann of Philadelphia, hound to Fal mouth had put into Dartmouth in distress, oc'cafioned by had weather which they had met with on their passage—the latter had received orders from London to proceed to .1 Amsterdam. Capt. Salter has favored us with Eng. lifh papers to the 20th of March, from which after a careful perusal, the following extracts are feledied as the m«ft material: LONDON, March 17. Intelligence is received, that the French have for the present changed their inten tiorsof visiting, Great Britain, firlt in tending the conqned of the IfLn 1 of Jer sey. The force is collected at St. Maloes; the number a>Tiounced is 10, coo men. The force at Je. fey confills of the 63d regiment, which is 600 llrong ; about 800 royalills in Rrrtifh pay; five companies of invalids; and about4ooo militia. A letter from Lyons, has the following curious paragraph : " Jean Baptilta Vic torie Guillotine, M. D. formerly of Ly ons, was lately among the multitude who have been executed here : he was charged with having corresponded with perfojis at Turin. It is an extraordinaiv thing that he (hould fuffer death by an inltrument of his own invention. He died with great relu&ance; and declared, that when he produced his instrument to the world, it was from motives of humanity alone !" On the the 13th ult. the grand arsenal of Corunna was burnt down. Sixty per sons perilhed in the conflagration, and 30 others were dangerously burnt. It is sup posed to have been set 011 fire by the French refugees, four of whom are taken lip, on suspicion. By an American gentleman who left Brest on Friday lad we learn, that theie were thirty-one fail, besides a great num ber of frigates lying at single anchor, rea dy to put to sea at the fhoiteft warning. "hey were all apparently in excellent con dition. Their supposed object is for the present to intercept if possible the Gibraltar home ward bound fleet, which eonlids of 170 fail, and having, it is thought, a very A rong convoy. It is to be hoped Lord Howe's appearance will cool the ardor of their expectations. They are now out, and, as long as they keep the sea, the public anxiety is not likely to be abated. Accounts from Tuikey, received at Vienna the 19th ult. Hate that several Ruffian, veflels had bees captured, in ..the Archipelago, by French frigates, in light of Turkish men of»war, without the leaii interference of the latter. v The valuable French fleet of St. Do mingo men, have got fafe into the ports of France, under the convoy of two 74 gun ships. It was yedfirday reported at Plymouth, that accounts had arrived there from France of the following fleet having failed from Bred, for the p'.irp.ofe of making 1 defce.it on some part of this kingdom, or Ireland, viz. 22 fail of the line, 15 fri gates, and 117 transports, having 65,00 a troops on board. We cannot, how-vs., irive the leait credit to this rumor at pre sent. The allied fleets assuredly remain com plete tri alters of the Mediterranean ; 110 ships of consequence can pass in or out of the ports either of Toulon or Marseilles, without observation ; in consequence of which the importation of grain, and other necefTaries, is almolt entirely put a flop to. ALBANY, May 12. A gentleman of refpeftability, from Skeenfborough, informs us, that the arti cle which has, appeared in one of the northern papers, that our provision boats, on Lake-Champlain, had been flopped and detained by the British, has no foun dation in truth—on the contrary, the in tercourse is as free and interrupted, as at any time heretofore. He adds, however, as the probable cause of the report, that there had been a continuance of south winds on the lake for nearly three weeks, which prevented the usual return of our boats. He further adds, (notwithstanding the contrary is alferted in some of the immacu late New-York papers) that armed veflels are pofiiiyely fitting up at the port of St. John's. NEW-YORK, May 19. By the brig Mary, Capt,, Haley, in 48 ' days from Bred, we have received the following important intelligence: About the 20th bt March an engage ment took place between the French and PruiTian armies, which ended in a signal victory on the lide of the Republicans; in thisa&ion, glorious for the cause of li berty, upwards of 6000 of th e slaves of the despotic Prussian monarch bit the dull. Valenciennes and Conde, were aftuallv retaken some time before Captain Haley failed. Victory has also crowned their efforts againtt Spain, and many of her towns are now in their possession. In addition to all this, we are positively affu.ed, not a veltige of the rebel army is left ; hav ing ahnoft to a man paid the forfeit of their henious crimes. At sea success has equally favored their druggies; several of the Cork fleet, and 29 valuable ships from the Streights bound to London, had changed their course, and entered different French ports with in verted colours. Provilions at Brest and in every town in France, were very plenty, and an im portant stroke was meditating against Eng land ; eight line of battle ships with se veral transports had failed for Jersey and Guernsey, and had no doubt of becom ing mallei sos those two Islands. The Brest fleet confided of about 55 fail of the line ; Captain BOMPARD has got the command of a 74 gun ship. We further learn, that the Pottuguefe have sent a fleet to the mouth of the Streights, to check the Algerines. Diary. Translated from French rewfpapers re ceived by the Mary, Capt. Haley. PARIS, 12 Ventofe. Numerous crouds began to aflemble early this morning before the doors of the Butchers, in the fame manner as they did some months finee before those of the Bakers. This attradted the attention of the Council-General of the Commune; and it was decreed that the Halls of the Butchers ftiould not be ope.ned before 6 o'clock in the morning ; That the Com mandant-General, is requested, to prevent the Citizens from alfembling before the said hour at the doors of the butchers, and that those who should transgress this order, should be imptifoned in the next guard house, during the diflribution of prov fions. This scarcity of pvovifions, remarks a Sans Culottes Philosopher, is another in dance of malevolence, which takes ad | vantage of these opportunities, to deftrov the rcafon and justice of the people, and carjy them into excelTes. It will not suc ceed in this perfidious project. The peo ple will expe£t with a patience and te fignation truly Republican, the result of the wife meafiues which the constituted authorities employ to restore abundance • and if they have not all the success which they have reason to expett, what must.be <lone? We mull rnfh in a body to the frontier, seize all the magazines of our dismayed enemies ! And by this general movement, retort upon them the utmost extremes of war and famine ; nourjfh oqrfelves with their provisions, and thus turn upon them all those evils, which in their attrocious calculations they had de signed for us ! We are far from this direful extremity. We have no need of an* other fuccorthan gpod faith one amongst another in so dif ficult a moment, which added to an almost usivei lal benevolence will soon pass away. There *will be no more public calamities if egotism and avarice, did not so greedily feiie. upon every embarrafling moment, whidh occurs to us. The society of Cordeliers have juftpub lifhed a decree of the society of the friends | of the rights of man, importing that Fa bre d'Eglaptine, Philippeaux, Bcmrdon, de L'Oife & Camille Defmoulin, have at tempted to rekindle the ashes of the Brif fotkies ; re-excite its infamous manoevres and its atrocious projects ; that in conse quence of which they had forfeited the confidence of the ,society, are regarded by it as traitors to their country unworthy to fit in the bosom of the convention, and above all amongil the inhabitants of tire mountain, whom theyconiider as the Tarpeian rock, and from the heights of which they will one day precipitate them.
