PHILADELPHIA, FEBRUARY 18. Theatricals. Last evening the NEW THEATRE was opened with that much admired comic opera 7/je Caffle of Anda/vjiu, and the after piece U bo's the Dupe. It was well for those who " took time by the forelock," numbers finding it impcf fible to gain admittance, the crqud was so great: the novelty of a New Theatre at tracted many who were not perhaps its belt .viihers ; but prejudice scon gave way, and univeriiil latiifa&ion appeared in every countenance. The manner in which this truly elegant theatre is laid out, merits the highest ap probation. Nothing has been neglected fjr the accommodation of the Lovers of the Drama; every advantage having been taken in what may be termed 'the appropriation of fpaeethe boxes and galleries are ranged in the form of a cre icent. Every individual has an equal view of the stage without incommoding each other—an inconvenience so much complained of from the quadrangles of old theatres. The houfc was brilliantly lighted—patent lamps formed the foot lights, and fpcrmaceti candies the residue. The '/cut enfeatie' exhibited a charming * Ccup d'eil.' Wigncll the leading manager, has done justice to his arduous million—like the good Hulbandman of old, he has picked up the Eurs and left the Tares; for a more choice and refpefiable Company, in public or private walk, never appeared on Theatrical Boards—May lie enjoy the fhutsof his intluftry, 'foul fweetningjftaife,' and the gratulations of the public. The prcfent limits only permit a hint, relative to thcrefpe&ive performers—Mrs. Wairel fling delightfully—Mrs. Marftiall did ample jullice, to what Fame had anti cipated—Miss Broadhurft, tlip charming little Syren, electrified the gods, and was deservedly encored-—Mr. Darky, as a br.is finger, ifands unrivalled—his Tones vibrated thro' every pafTage of the Thea tre—Mr. Marlhall has long stood without a competitor—his adling, and his singing, added to his graceful a<ftion, was inimita ble.—We saw with pleasure, our old fa vorite Wignell, in a new character, he was every thing that one could wish, in Don Spado—Mr. Morton was very ref pcflablc, as a young candidate on the Stage—Mr. Francis would have pleased better, bad he omitted looking at his feet, after his metamorphulis ; he is a ref pcftable aflor, and ever ready to profit bv a hint. The late hour the play finilhed, pre vents us faying any thing of the merits of the after piecr—we Willi the managers to attend to this hint, at such late hours not only mar the pleafuvcs of the evening, but are inconvenient to many. In the General Advertiser of Saturday, we wete favoveu with the following pa ragraphs. " The friends of the French now de precate the resentment bf France, and fhouM that Republic become hostile, we are left alone to encounter with everv power in Euro]^." u The friends of the French know, that this country must finally depend on the frtendfhip of France, for the main tenance of oirr Liberties and commerce, every American, the?efore, that is a friend to our future happiness mud wish Success to the Republic of France." "By uniting with that Republic we ilznd, by dividing with them we fall." On leading the foregoing with atten tion, I was struck with surprize, and eon eluded Tii my own mind, that taking the paragraphs in the latitude in which they lire espreffed, they could not be the sen timents of a real American freeman, but of some person in the pay and under the influence of aJefign nation. To with that the Republic of France may be able to maintain its liberty, is one thing, but shall the sice sons of Columbia fretr its reJe/iJmet/ts, and for that reason make the fheddingof blood by the Guil loiirte, a common cause ? If I could suppose it was either true in fa£t, or that it was a prevailing sentiment among our citizens, that " wemuft depend" on any poucr on earth " for the maintain ance of our liberty I would fay, Ame rica was no longer free, and disown my country forever. I am apt tft biflieve however, that a certain party will not thank the writer, for the above disclosure of their fentimerito. February 17. " ISABELLA, or the FATAL MARRIAGE" and " ROSINA or the REAPERS," were announced for To-Morrow evening, at the New Thea- Exlrad of a letter from Liflon, dated Olio- ber 26, 1793, " An affair has happened at Genoa, between a French national frigate lying there, and a cutter sent by Lord Kood, underthe King's white flag (Louis 17th) that may occasion at once that Republic either to declare for France or En. land, for the frigate seized the Captain of the cutter and ilrangled him. On information, an Englift line of battle was sent into the port, and the French frigate captured. The Genoese have complained of this last affair, and the English minister has pub lished a mairfeflo, setting forth partial con duct of the Genoese, and it is said, infifU on their declaring on one fide or the other in 8 days—ln short, this war, before it is finifhed, We are afn.id, will involve all the European powers. We sincerely hope a good understanding may encr amain be tween Great-Britain and America, as it will be dreadful to both, if a rupture (hould take place.—P. S. Just now the English convoy has arrived, and a part of the Dutch, ar.d it is reported there are be tween 50 and vends with wheat and flour, so that for the present, we (hall have an abundant supply."

There is a report in town, that the let ters of the recal of Mr. Genet, have ar rived at the feat of government; and it has been luggelted, but from what source we have not been able to learn, that M. Le.Tombe, late Consul for the Northern States, willfucceed him. On Thursday lad, Prince Edward, fort* of his Britannic Majesty, arrived in this town from Quebec. We are told that his Highness has lately been promoted to the rank, of Brigadier-Geneial, and is to have a command in the army in the Weft- Indies. From the anxiety to obtain Tickets for Monday Evening's elegant Enter tainment, we anticipate a full house ; and we learn, that a dillinguifhed charafler, now in town, will be present at the Thea tre—in which we are sure he will fee a master-piece of elegant workmanlhip, art, and execution, a brilliant and liberal au dience, and we doubt not, a performance worthy both the audience and the dome.

The POffice bufincfs engaged the attention of the House of Rep;efei;tativcs this day—Progress reported. A Madrid paper of the 20th Dec. re ceived by the (hip Adi iana from Bilboa, contains a lengthy account of a sortie made by the allied forces at Toulon on the 30th of November—the übjeet of which was to take a fort in the neighborhood— from which the French annoyed the alli ed pods—The allies were fuecefsful in carrying the fort, but while their troops •were engaged in plundering the French camp, they were attacked, and after fpik mg the cannon, obliged to abandon .their conquest, and retreat back again. In this retreat, Gen. O'Hara was wounded in the arm, and taken prisoner. The combined loss on this occasion, is stated at 430 killed, wounded, prisoners, and miffing. After the above affair, the French made three different attacks on a foil near Tou lon, and were repulsed with loss. Letters by this day's port from New ark inform, that, an armed vessel has ar rived there from Halifax, with the Bri ti(h December mail—that the packet left Falmouth the 20th of that month—that none of the French fleet had been captur ed by Lord Howe—that Toulon at the date of the last accounts received in Eng land was fafe—and that Lord Rawdon was at Jersey. English papers to the 16th December it is laid, are received by the Packet. The Baltimore papers of the 14th and 15th inftantsdo not inform of any arrival at Annapolis, from France. FROM CORRESPONDENTS. The opening the doors of a certain Body, has confirmed the apprehensions which were entertained of the aristocratic spirit, which was fufpefted to lurk there. The members of that honorable body, are thought by fame, to be admifiible, like the Pt't'rs oj Great-Britain, to declarations on their honor, while the plebeians of other legislative bodies, must depose on oath Such a patrician idea is novel in this country. It is a maxim in free countries, that in all judicial difcudions, both parties (hould be heard—audi alteram partem—What (hould we think of a tribunal, which after hearing one fide, (hould propose to stop the other, from deriving his arguments from the fame source, as those to which they were intended as a reply. It is hoped, none such, will ever exist in this country. SHIP NEWS. Captain Fitzpatrick saw 36 fail of the line, British. fleet, cruizing off the Lizard.
