A-p.i2_»2. m&tl;6ur. THEATRE. OBSERVER No. XVI. Mr. Fenno, The Theatre was last evening uncommon' ly crowded, and with a brilliant audience. The Observer was much gratified that Mr'. Fennel's benefit waS lb properly noticed : his powers were exerted with his usual propriety in the charter of Count Ribemont; it is the iincere wish of the Observer, that a man of Mr. Fennel's character for virtue and abi lities both natural and acquired, may neves want the patronage of the public, of which he received fd flattering a testimonial last ni-jht. Mrs. Oldmixon, again arretted the atten tion of the audience, and exceeded the very high expectation:, which had been entertain ed of her as a Singer and an ACtreis: The acquisition of Mrs. Olclmlxon, is a Angular felicity to the Managers Of the New-Thea tre, and is a great addition to the Company of Performers, unquestionably an excellent one before Hie joined them. The pieces chosen were the Surrender of v Calais, and a Peep into the Isfcraglio; the d fpofitions of characters in those uncom monly meritorious pieces, has done great ho nor to the difcernmeut of the Managers. Mr. Mofeton will exrufe the Observer for hinting to him, the pain which his friends fe.-l at his so frequently wanting aid from the Promp ter. Mrs. Marjhall, for a perfeCl simplicity, and ease in a&ion, for a compleat adoption : «i' the character file performs, has never ex ceeded her exhibition of last evening. In the after-piece, Mrs. Francis, Mrs. Old mixo , Mils Broadburjl, formed a trio, that gave the Observer many, not to fay full ideat of perfection : He asks the Audience if they could refrain from such ideas when they saw and heard them ? Was there a heart which did not expand with better sentiments and more benevolence from attending the perform nee last evening ? If there was one, the Observer recommends a trial of This Evening, at the Benefit of Mr. Chalmers, which may poilibly prove a mutual benefit. The entertainm-nt seleCted for this even ing, is of the Left kind. Tuesday 21ft May. UNITED STATES. ALEXANDRIA, May 13. Copy °f a letter from a gentleman in Phila delphia, to his friend in this town. ( Concluded.) As to our navigation and commerce, we can certainly defend it only in one of two ways, either by maintaining a friendly cor respondence with the maritime powers, or by a powerful navy of our own. As to the firft mode, at this time Great Britain is mistress of the ocean. The prin cipal maritime nations, except France, are her allies. The court is holtile to us—there fore disposed to deitroy our navigation and controui our commerce. It can be controll ed only by the friendly temper of th? Bri tilh people towards us. Our only chan:e, in this way of defending these important inter ests at this time, is to cultivate their friend- Ihip. As to the second mode, a powerful navy— the expense would be prodigious, the effica cy uncertain. If however we do not defend our navigation in one way or the other, in a verv fliort time we Ihali not have a lh,p ou the ocean. And indeed if we cannot defend our navigation without a naval force ade- , quate to the objeCt, we ought to encounter the expense of such an armament. I cannot pretend to fay what naval force would be adequate to this objeCt. A force less than equal to tei} Ihips of the line, and as many \ftcut frigates, would probably be very inade ouate. I am, however, convinced that the appearance of such a fleet always at our command, could not fail to have a consider able effect on foreign nations, especially if the former jealoufits and rivaifhips thoiiid be restored among the'powers of Europe—And when I refleCt how much within ou'r reach are the rich Britifii Weft-Indies, I am inclin ed to think that even preparations for such a force,fuch as fortifyinggjthe proper port* building arlenals aud docks, and laying in plentiful supplies of naval It ores, might in cline that government, more than any o ther circumstance, to cultivate our friend fliip. It is not probable that such a force could be built and equipped for less than, fix millions of dollars 5 nor when in aitu« I
