A Gentleman of refpcftability arrived
in New-York, faft Tukfday, from New
port, by water, which place he left on
Monday. He informs us, that on Sun
day last, he fawi-a gentleman at Newport
who had left Bolton the day before.
This gentleman informed him that the
United States Slip Boston, Capt. Little
had arrived at that port, with a Frentjh
Ship of war of 28 guns, which she had
captured oft" the Weft-Indies, after an
engagement of four hours. The Boston
had xo men killed, and about 20 woun
ded. The lo{s on the part of the French
was not mentioned. Our informant
adds, that he lias no doubt of this intel
ligehce, as the gentleman from whom he
had it, saw both vefiels come into
Boston. >
Mr. Wjvyne,
TOUR ready infertioli of «ny former let
ter, induces me to offer you some remarks
upon the.theatrical performances qf the palt
week. ,
The popular play of Pizvirro, was rrpre
fented on Monday, and the principal cha
racters were uniformly well fuppurted. The
merits of' this drama, as a cwmpafition, are
so well e(l?.bli(hed, that it would be fupeiflu
oils to enlarge upon them here. A.ll altera
tion was made in the sth a£t, at thelail re
prefchtatioh; upon whitlv, very different
opinions will, doubtlcfs, be entertained.—
The drama was.clofrd with .the death ol
Kolta. This if the mode in whicf! Kotze
bue terminates the original play. Mr. She.
lidin, in order to execute poetical justice,
or, as some of the critical journalilts ot' En
gland affer», with a view to exhibit a battle
Und a funeral procelfion in the immenle Rage
of new Drury, added the concluding scenes.
l r or these additions, he is much censured by
a majority of the transatlantic critics. It is
' indeed questionable, whether they have im
proved the pltiv. He lus in conl'equence of
them, been obliged to change the hero of
the drama. Uolla, is Kotaenue's hero ;
Piza'rro is Sheridan's. The liberty taken
with'hiflorical tru;h,(in the ciicumfUncei at- ;
Tending the death ot Pirflrru, is so glaring, j
that thr mind' revolts at it. We can admit
the probability of the temporary repulle, 1
■Which the Spaniards fullain in the fecoiiG
»St ; 'btt not of their total defeat, which
occurs in the fifth. On the other hand, the
mind contemplates with fatisfa&ion, the
merited f<«te which overtakes the ferocious
tyrant ; and is ioothe'd by'th<- honors which
* *re paid to the memory of Rclla. Perhaps
there is 110 dramatic charafter more calcu
lat'd to interest the feelings of the fpeitators,
t. n that of the Peruvian chief. For thel'e
' '•h'Tf-'fei something may be (
" Hu.," it will be difficult, t* find an apology, (
for the intreduftion of Elvira in the fifth ,
. aft. This, is i> pantomimical trick, which ,
bears too dote a refembhtice to the entrance ,
' of the Gholt, in the concluding scene of .the , |
Caflle Speftre. It is unworthy the genius j
of Sheridan ; which has in every other part I ,
of the play, > purified the gold of Kotzebue j
from the dross which obfeured its splendour, j
and bellowed upon it, the highest and moll
eqnifite polifl).
Before I dismiss this fubjeft, it may, per
haps, be amiifing, to trace the coincidence of j
opinion, between a Philadelphia and a Lon- j
don audienCe. The cbara&er of Cora is so :
exquiTitely drawn, that it Ihould ferm, tha.t j
the fpeilators would in general, be fatiified
with a U fs animatedprrfonification of Elvira,
if they could, by this means, witness a per
fedVrepreientation of Cura. Ihewilh, that
Mrs. Merfy's pre-eminent talents hid been
displayed in that charafter, has been fre
quently exprefled; In a file of l.ondon pa
pers, which now lies before me, it is lament
ed, that Mrs. Siddons had not chosen it, in '
preference to the part of Elvira ; although,
the latter was expressly adapted to her unri
valled powers.
A new comedy, called The Votary ol
Wealth, was performed on Wednesday.
It is the production of Mr. Holman, and
contains some excellent lhe
pifture of life and manners, which it exhi
bits, is, in general, far more just, than that
which occurs in a great proportion ot mo
dern productions. Nlhey too often, depend
for their effect, upon the ludicrous eccentric
cities of some prominent character. I his
play was well performed. The part of young
Viforly, found an able and correft represen
tative in Mr. Wood. Miss Wellray, per
formed the part of Caroline, with a degree
of accuracy and precision which conteired
importance upon it, and excited a wilh that
the were brought forward more frequently.
The play was received with general approba
tion. The m'ufical entertainment of the
Poor Soldier succeeded, it, in which Mr.
Darley, jun'r. made his second appearance.
The improper oppolitiun which was attempt
ed at his former appearance, was not renew
ed. He sung his with his usual ex
cellence, md was honoured with universal
#P A new performer was brought forward
on Friday, 111 the character of HafTan in the ]
" Cattle Speftre; It is difficult to judge of his
talents from that night's re pre fen tat ion. He
aopeared to enter into the febpe ot the cha
racter ; but he does not seem to have attain
ed that command of voice, which u necel
fary in an extensive theatre. Mr. Cooper
and Mr?. Merry, fuftrfned their parts, with
their usual excellence. Mr. Warren s father
Phillip, niould not be )afTed over
remark. Tt was admirably performed. Per
haps it wonid be difficult to find in any part
of Great Britain, a more accurate iepre en.
tame of Falftaff. And it is evident from
piany of the turns both of thought and ex
prefiion, that Mr. Eewis, m Hutching the
ltant:
riiaradler o
his nrlnd.
A new Muficjl Farce, called S:. David's J
D<y cloied the evening's eVitertainm-nt. j
The princip >1 merit of this piece, 'as may be i
supposed, consists in the Mulic. This is !
entitled to llw highest praiTe. But its j
excellence does not depend en the mulic i
alone. There are one or two (ketches of
character, that of Peter PlimUmmon in
partcular, which a little more dilated,
would be productive of much comic I
effett. Peirhups however, the humour
and alluficms are too frequently local,
to rendtr this production a general f.ivorite,
nnlefi ihe admiration which the Malic inuii
excit- in every'judge of musical compulition,
ftiould supply theft dci'efts.—ln our scene,
a little Wclfli nymph in reply to a number
of queflions which'are put to her, uses two
words which, it is said, fignify nu English,
or some think of similar import. Hut this
part of the plot, to use an expreflion of
Bayes in the Hehearfal, (liauld have been
" inliiiuated into the box, J s," for without
this explana;ion, the humour of old Town
ly's next speech and his alluGons to Moun
fieur NopgTong Paw—is he calls him, are
aim elf unintelligible.
The Performers acquitted themselves
with ability. Miss. E. W.-flray, performed
the chara&er of Ellen, with the mod cap
tivating limplicity. Mrs. Oldmixos's vocal
excellence is well known. She introduced
the favorite fang of i|ie Blue'•Bell of Scot
land. We believe that no psrfon who has
heard this exquisite Scotch mel >dy, will be
surprised at the univeiTal admiration which
it has excited in Great Britain. Mr. Ber
; nard, a* might be expe&cd gave full effeft
■ to the charafter of PcterJPlimlimmon.

Extra A of a letter from an officer on board
the Petapfco sloop of #ar, to his friend in
this city.
On the 22d of September, we arrived off
the island of Curracoa. Having previously
been informed that a French force fff 16
vessels and 1400 men from Gaudaloupe
were besieging, the city of Amllerdaji, in
that island, we reconnoitred, and aifcover
ed the privateers, 15 in number, laying
close under two forts, which we thought
tooftrong for us to attack, having only the
United States (hip Merrimack to support
us. At the fame time, spoke tlif British
frigate Nereide, who had the governor of
Curracoa, and the American consul on
board. The latter informed captain Ged
des that the enemy intended to take the
town by florin that night, and that to pre
serve the proj#erty ot the America#
chants afloat as well as afhoie, it
opinion one of our Ihips ought to run into
the harbour in order to prevent the enemy':
entering. At sin the evening we flood in,
when the French opened a quick and well
di.eardfire upon us from a fort of two 18,
one 12, and 2 nine pounders, within halt
pidol shot, and from the windows, roofs of
the houses in the L'othra Banda, which was
filled with the enemies troops—who kept
up a conftantfire of mulketrv, which was as
warmly returned from the /.cannon and
muikets of the Petapfco, and thole deluded
people who efcapeddeath, returned to their
camps, but at intervals, engaged us all
night, which we returned from our great
guns. On the 23d they appeared to be |
more in motion than in common, but kept i
up a constant fije ,from their batteries, they
embarked with great precipitation, leaving
behind them eighty or an hundred men, all
their guns, ammunition, provisions, fee—
with pleasure 1 am enabled to flat# we had
but two wounded, one of which was Mr.
Calder—the loss on the part ot the French
j is computed about 150, with one Genital
: ! Officer We received considerable damage
■' in our hull, rigging, find fails. On the
; 24fU thfe Briiilh frigate Neriade entered

, The Speaker observed that it had here
tofore been the invariable pra&ice of the
House to admit new members to take their
feats previously to being sworn, though the
Confutation diredted diredlly tbe reverie.
As there was a new member present, he fug
gelled the propriety of adininiftering the
| oath to him before he took hisleat.
| Mr. Macon, thought fucn a.step prema
ture. He was of opinion that no inconve
nience would arise from delaying to admi
nister the oath until « house was forced,
and he thought great cautioo (hould. attend
an innovation opp fed to all precedent.
Mr. Nicholas aflced, whether it had here
tofore been usual in the cafe of a new house
to swear the members before the choice of a
speaker.
Mr. Speaker, Teplied that it had not.
Mr. Nicholas laid that on though firft
thoughts, he was favorable to admiuifterng
the oath at the present time, yet this pre

Gentlemen of the Senate, and
Gentlemen of the Hou±e of Representatives,
AS the welfare and. prosperity, of a nation,
efientially depend «n th» sh.uafler of t'leir
rragiftrates, and ,the wisdom, with which
their government U adn>imfk-irrd 1 the objett
of your present Scflion mufl fee highly inter
eHtngt not only to your conftvtnrnts, Sue to
the whole people of the United States.
The time approaches when, by their con
stitution and law, the elc&ion of their Pres
ident and Vice Prciident must be completed ;
and you are now alTeinbled to take the
meafnres that are previoiifly nccefiary on
tlie part of this Commonwealth, to aecotn
plifh that important purpofe—Yoy will en
deavor to felctt tlmfi who are to give the
ultimate fuffrage State, from the bed
informed citizens, and the friends of order
and good government j may that wife and
gracious Providence which has hitherto
guided and fuftaincd the American people
preliJe in your deliberations, and direst the
result of them.
Although I have the pleasure to observe
that tranquillity generally prevails though
this Commonwealth, yet it is my duty to (late
to you, that by letters and affidavits, which
the Secretary will l»y betow you, it ap
pears, that since the lalt frffion of the Gen
eral Court, a number cfpcrf4fcs in the coun
ty of Hancock, have, ii>a vitiknt manner,
obftru&ed the buiitiffs of furveyi'ng land in
that county by firing upon and tlangeroully
wounding and chain-men who
were employed in that lervice. The necef
lity of fupprt-fling difur'ders of such a fatal
tendency is' obvious. Indeed the prrfons
guilty of these outrages were concealed or in
dilgutfe ; but they are fuppoied to have been
a&uatedby a spirit of refinance to the law ;
which -would be increi.fed and emboldened
by an appearance, of unconcernednels oil the
part ot the government to restrain or punish
it.
From the reports of several of the Major-
Generals, I am happy to be able to inform
you that the militia of the commonwealth,
are in a state of unuftial improvement. A
large proportion of them are completely e
quipped and uniformed and in the course of
the late reviews their discipline and subordi
nation refletted honor on the officers and
faldiers, and art titled them to peculiar com
mendation. \\ T 'th a militia thus trained,
•and animated with military ardnr, through
the Union, America will n6t hesitate to as
sert her national rights, or bennssblf to de
fend them when ther are invaded.
I f prefumi you will not be willing to pio
traft a ftfllon at this unufaat firafon of > the
year, by attending to befinef? that may
'conveniently be postponed to t'le timt when
you will me.et for the ordinary purpose o:*
