The Pit is ornamented in a (imple yet elegant

bare a good view without incommodiri;; eah other;
the back of the pit and front of the cirrus is richly
marbled ; the front of the circus is ornamented
with pedestals, which arc conne&ed together by i
scapulas and gilt chains. On the circus doors arc
painted two warlike eqoeltrian figures. The pit 1
doors are ornamented with the tragic, and comic '
muses, properly delineated ; the whole forming a 5

It appears by late advices from Europe that, in eon- -
ifequence sf France having taken possession of Leghorn, 1
Grcat-Bntain has helped herfelf to Porto Ferrajo, ano
ther port belonging to the Grand Dyke of Tnfcany. r '
It is expected that thexxtlufi-vc patriots of Tufcanv, in "
imitation of onrexctnfive patriots, will greatly rejoice ol
at this event- 'I'hey will readily vindicate the conduit w
ef Great-Britain by '« asserting her right to take a just ar
vengeance for the fraudulentneiitralityof Tufcanv, and m
the treachery of her pretended friends." See the Au

m°n, that Mr. Giles, a member of thecovgrefs o' the

supposed b.m to be, a»d that he did not eonfider cua
him as politically honest. At this observation Mr. bio,
P.ide took fire, and gave Mr. Carpenter the lie. line
A challenge ensued—the parties met on Sunday Let

the affair to an amicabh adjutf me«r, but in vain, fott

Ihe Oporto merchants were received by Mr. n
• Put *,th great politenef,. He owned to them
veay frankly that though the public apprehensions, f r
with regard to the meditated attack of the French ID
U P. On f-!? nu ß ' h,d bcen magnified in the usual
in "ay, flill ,t was certain, that a request had been ta
£ ade .£r thc French fo r a fr « through the ar
he Spamfli tetrttory, unless an exorbitant demand of
money from Lifoon wa, complied with ; and that „
either they meditated such an attack, or, what was
more likely, wished to excite an alarm of it in this ~
country. He owned he had heard this, but he did /
not attach much credit to the infotmation. It was
a ruse de guerrt, not incanfiftent with the Ficnch
character; but even if thev /hould attempt to car.
v. r y their menace into execution, it was net the ope-
In ration of a day, and we were not without the means

m alarm was groundless ; but he wished them t 9 put

e. Thus, amidst the pain, which he took to dispel
•I r f om L , the mindß of tlie gentlemen, the apprehension
_ ot th"., new attack upp 3 n our trade, he in fact con-'
:d fe ff d the of the danger by the concession
which he made with refpefl to the duties Our
port, will in all probability be opened for the leceipt

uatil they (hall come into consumption j and in the

we fee no other means of securing to England the
permaneacy of our advantages, than that of making
f. London at least {if not all the principal haibuuisj
e a free part, not for this emergency, but forever— j
j and apian of this kind 1, in contemplation. 1
r . It was probably with this view that he desired
j. the mtrehants to put their idea, on this fubjed in

e general body of importer, yesterday, and commum
c catedtothem the observation, of the minister.
A proposal has bcen made for calling Dr. Frieif\

very little, except account, of the flourifhing state i

Letters from Leghorn of the 14th u!t. state,
the Fregch have still a gar.rifon of 2,200 men in 9
that city ; a former statement ol their having eva- n.
cuated it, is coiifequently untrue. The harbour is
blocked up by a squadron of fix British fiiipsofthc
line. Our navy, by all accounts, is spread from 1
Leghorn as far as Toulon along thc Italian coali,
and does not fuffer a vessel of any nation to enter
any of the Italian harbours. Thc French garri- 1
loft of Leghorn is making preparations of defence,
in cafe the Englilh (hould bombard that port, an
event highly probable, and to aid iB which a great Di
number of gun-bpats arc fitting out in the iUandof Dc
Corsica. Dc
The motive assigned by the French direflory for _
refufing to receive M. de Rchaufen, as Sevvdiih
charge d'affaires, wa,, that they ~-onfidcred him as Do
a spy of the court of Peter/burgh. ■ Ra
The reiterated remonftranaes of the Swedifli '^ r
court in favor of this gentleman, prove the infiu-
ence which the court of Russia has gained over that p 0
of bweden, by some late political arrangement,. Do
The duKt regent is tow placed in a strange dilem- iQ
ma on tHis fubjefi. If he yields ts the demands ®' -
of the dire&ory, he is in danger of committing
himfelf- with Rufiia ; and if on the other hand, he
persists in refufing to appoint any other Swedish 0,3
minister than M. de Rehaufen, a rupture with
France seems unavoidable. It would appear, how
ever, that the directory does not wifii to quarrel OI
with Sweden ; as, in its usual (tile, and in the true E? KS
spirit of French rebellion, it blends with the recal of
of it, minister at Stockholm, the profeflion of its c
affeiSion for the Sw«di(h nation, which it carefully urt
diftingui(he, from the Swedish governpnent, in or
der to render the latter odious aud suspicious to th» jof
f9B | people. It ; s however worthy of notice, that
far- I Sweden, which was thefirft European Hate to ac
knowledge the power of the French republicans,
u now likely to feel the venon of the ferpetit (he has
feftered.
hem There has been another diffurbance at Lugo, in
: P°" I,a] y- The inhabitants of this town, which is ii*
®"d the dotchy of Ferrara, had attacked a body of 60
> as French dragoons, and killed sos them. General
cd 6 Angcrrau advanced with a body of .troops, on
hearing this intelligence, and dispersed the inflir
giv- gents by a fsw discharges of cannon loaded with
arid grape thot.
There are now at "Havre, and other French
e » ports tn the channel, a number of Americans,
'a> (many of whom have been lately in this coantry,
°* in the chara&er ©f merchants) fitting ot»t small
*at row-boat privateers, to interrupt our unarmetkoaft
eri. These boats come out ih the evening, run
'on* immediately over to this shore, and watch their op
portunity to hoard such vessels as they think they
can t*ke. If they meet with Britifti cruizers, or
' armed, vessels, they pass for Englishmen or fifher
