JOHN VAUGHAN,
[Whole No. 569.]
For the Gazette of the United Status.
Mr. Fenno,
You are requested to fublilh the following
in your paper.
A HINT.
Certain young Students of Law with their
aflociates, who have of late frequented a
neighbourhood in this city, and been guilty
of condudt which reflects credit neither on
themselves nor their (Connections, are cau
tioned to beware of a repetition of such con
dudl ; for independent of the chailifement
which will be the consequence, they may ex
pedl to fee their names publiihed in the ncwf
papers.
TO THE OBSERVER.
I HAVE read with much fatisfa&ion,
your occasional remarks, on the merits and
demerits of the Theatric Corps—to the
former, you have rendered juitice—the lat
ter you have treated with tenderaefs—fair
ly avowing no partiality, to influence the
public mind. A man who thus steps for
ward, with principles so independent, is
secure in his own conscience, of having,
with the best intentions done his duty, and
sure of the fuffrages of the public, who,
while they approve, will second his en
deavours. Upon thffe grounds, I con
tribute my mite, and only regret, that I
am unwillingly conftrgined to think, that
you, Mr. Obferver,have somewhat relaxed
in those duties, to the fulfilment of which,
you engaged yourfelf. lam however,
far from supposing, that you will not re
sume your pen, or that you have quitted
the service you volunteered in, before the
campaign is finifhed ; —Perfuaded, that
your jult criticisms mult rather flatter than
offend, and that every, -individual, under
the Banners of the Sock & Buflcin, feel
themlelves under obligations to the Ob
server, they have shewn their gratitude,
by amending that, which he has humbly
recommended.
Pursuing my obje<St thus far—l would
now wi(h to hint to you Mr. Obferrer,
whose prying eye, may not fee all things,
that you would notice, that want of de>-
meanor exhibited by fame, employed in
the concerns of the Theatre :—Surely the
ears of the audienceought not to be dinned
by the clattering of a Bamboo against the
fides of one of the Boxes, during the
performance of Miss Oldfield, in the cha
ra&er of Lady Frances Touchwood ?
It is arrogating in a servant of the public,
and offenfive to all who admire order and
decency :—Surely it is not come to this,
that we are incapable of judging of ex
cellences !—rwe can condemn, and we can
applaud, but premature applause, always
defeats the interested purpose it intends.
Miss Oldfield made her Debut at Annapo
lis, in the character of Defdcmona, and
was deservedly admired as a young Can
didate for public favor. Her firft appear
ance here, was last night, and allowing
for her natural timidity, great indulgence
was (hewn her, and often much applaud
ed. With a fine figure like hers, Ihe is
capable of great improvement—but re
commend her to study a little more of the
" Suavitcr in Modo" giaceful a&ion, and
graceful attitudes, compose more than
half the difficulties of the stage.
I fay nothing of the other performers,
fatisfying myfelf, that in your next paper,
you will do them justice individually, and
remain Mr. Observer,
THE BYSTANDER.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, January 21.
It is known to Government, that tie
French have coined five hundred thovjfand
guineas, so exactly resembling the Engliih
guinea, that the counterfeit was not dj&o
vered at the mint till after two minute exa
minations. The defeA is in a simple letter
only. What the motives may be of our
enemies for taking this measure, cannot, per
haps, at this moment be explained; but that
it is sinister and ungenerous, cannot be
doubted.
