Health and refped, LACROS3III. IN NAME OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCLAMATION. TAR COMMANDER IN CHM 07 TN! ♦RMY 01 OVA- VALOUTE, TO THE INHABITANTS OF THAT COLONY. Citizens Inhabitants—Guadaloupe, under the influence of an armed force, confuting almolt en tirely of men whom no education, no principles had prepared for the noble employment of arms, w hofe pallions, wants, and ideas, went not beyond that of being the rudetl, mull naturally have dreaded a cataftrophe, which endangered it to the m etropolis, and placed it at the difpofal of the firll ambitious perfon, or of the nation, the moil eager to take polreffion of it. A great part of its inhabitants were fenfible of this, and the proprietors and others dreaded it as likely to alienate the good-will of the Govern. went the efteem and confidence of their fel low-citizens in Europe : the lots of thofe advan tages is much more fenfible to a Frenchman, who can honour himfelf with that noble title, and read the annals of that nation as the hillory of his fa mily, rather than of the dettruaion of his property. The inhabitants of Guadalonpe have given an example of it, by never forgetting that they were Frenchmen before they were proprietors. There is not one of them who was devoted to the lawful power, who would not have made every Pacrifice to maintain, in the perfon of the Captain-General LACROSSE, the only authority which could be refpedable, if in the event of 29 Vendemiaire (08. a I), the enemies of all authority, of every kind of order, and of thofe even from whom they' derived the greateß advantages, which they pre tended to &trills more than life, had not employed the Weft perfidy. Thefe arms, the moll efficacious when employ ed againil a man of honour, the only kind they could employ spina the Captain General, LA• atom, with the hope of fuccefs, overcame that Coteral, by palfying the courage and good will of thole citizens who entertained moll of the French fpirit, and reduced them to the seceifity of lamenting, more than once, thstithey had till then been ignorant how far the hearts of certain men could be filled with perfidy. Thefe events, Citizens, are now pail. You no longer remember yourloifes, at in employing your. (elves with the choice of the means for repairing ' theta.—Confideisee re-efiablifised between the Citi zens in regard to their real intentions; force, and the means deafening obedience; the courage and difcipline of the brave troops who compote the ar my of Guadeloupe, make us all entertain hopes of fpeedy profperity. The return of the Captain General, Lacaossa, in this hate of things, flies a (cal on the public joy, fince it completes the re paration due to Government and the Nation, for the injury done to them in his perfon, and fince the Colony fees the return of a Chief whom it deems.

PROCLAMATION. ktAL ADMIRAL LACROSIII, CAPTAIN ORIIRIAL 07 01/ADALOVPI •ND ITI DIPSIIDINCISS, TO TNT INHABITANTS OF THAT COLONY. Citizens—When the Confular Government fent me among you I promifed to endeavour to give you happinefs, by making you love the principles of wifdom, which conftitute it, and by healing, as much as poifible, all the wounds of a Revolution, which Lifted too long, and which made the evils that accompanied it to be, felt in a more lively manner in this Colony. I followed with zeal the paternal intentions of that repairing government, and already enjoyed by anticipation all the pleafure of having confoli dated among you peace and concord, of having increafed agricultural and commercial induftry, when men too long habituated to anarchy and crimes, to bend to the rules of focial order, railed the ftandard of rebellion, feized on the public au thority, overturned all the laws, and pluitged the colony into an abyfs of evils. I could have refitted their audacity; I could not fubdue their perfidy; but this horde of brigands could not efcape the national vengeance. The inland of Guadeloupe Ives reconquered from the rebels, by the valour of the French foldiers, under the command of a General, who had been preceded in the colony by a latent reputation. The inhabitants then may 'tow abandon themfelves to their hopes, as far as depends upon me and the Commander in Chief of the army, they Dull be realized, and I will' ven ture to thy, that I am certain of it, fame the ma levolent are fuppreffed, and all gold citizens are eager to maintain a government, which has no other objee in view but their happinefi.

ARERDIRK, OCT. 13.—Laft week was held the Oaober Meeting of the Northern Shooting Club. It was not fo numerous as we have obferved it on former °coition: of this kind. The meeting corn. menced on Wednefday, and there were ordinaries and Area:blies during the reit of the week... Among the company prefent, we diftinguithed the Marquis of HUNTLIT, Lord and Lad y Ealtois, Lord ATOTIII , Lord Ruvnvas, Lady HARAIIIT HAY, the Lady Karma, Sir WILLIAM Fouls, Sir WILLIAM JOHNSTON. Mr. FIIIGUSON O PIT• rove, &c. Several good matches were run upon the race ground, between the Marquis of Huirr.

The company, with their ufual benevolence, colleaed a handfome funs for the public charities in town. Lord HAWRISSURT returned to town from Worthig yefterday, where he has been a week. Poftmg bills were !tuck op in moll pasts of the town yefterday, cawing liberal bounties for fu mes for 'loops and other fmall chips of war. At Lunn s Coffee-houfe, on Saturday, in doing policies for the Mediterranean, an attempt was made to except captures or feitures. This created tome !lht agitation ; but yefterday it had wholly fubflded and no fuck exceptions were attempted. The barracks at Norman Croft, which, during the Ld year of the war, (erred as a receptacle for prifoners of war, were lately advertifed to be fold by Government ; but within thefe few days pall the order to that effect has been countermanded. - Lord GRIT de 'turn's, after a very pleafant tour through Scotland, has returned to London. Lord Wurrworra's horfes fpend their time very pleafantly at Paris. There arc about twenty of them in high keeping, having nothing to do. The Noble Lord and his Duchefs are abfolutely immured at Knowle, having no horfes to draw them about. Yellerday was held Norm Fair, which was, as dual, numetoully attended, and there was fo muchfaw and fro& going forward, that no fear could be entertained of the Horn Charter being for feited I Friday morning, two Dover boats ditcovered a gead whale &lung down the Channel, midway between Dover and Calais and towed it on Store near Shakefpeare's Cliff. It is 81 feet long, and between so and 6o in girth. The tall, from one fork to the other, meafures 20 feet. Mr. Lewis.—We feel much pain in mentioning a fudden and ferious fit of Hines with which this excellent and favourite Comedian was yefterclay feized, but from which we hope he will pettedly recover. Mr. Lawn has, always been very atten tive to exercife and his health, which he has hi therto enjoyed in an unufual degree for a man of his years, now near laity. He looked healthy and ruddy, was light and Olive as a man of thirty.five. Yeßerday, in rehearfing REYNOLDS'S new Coinedy of Delay: sad Mulder:, it was obferved that he had an unufual flulh of colour in his face, but nothing was thought of it. He went through the rehearfal of REYNOLDS'S new Comedy, when, foon after .one o'clock, beginning the late aft, he fuddenly .flood Rill, and, to the furprize of every one, ceifed to (peak; the Prompter continued prompting; after about half a minute, Mr. Lewis exclaimed—. " Ah 1 ah 1" and whirling round, as if by giddi. nefs, he fell down. Every one immediately flew to his affillance ; he was lifted into a chair, bit neckcloth untied, and it was evident he had fallen down in an apopleeic fit. Pains were taken to pre vent news of the accident going to Mrs. Lewis, and Mr. Baows, the Surgeon, of Bow-Rreet, was called in; but it being reconciled that Mr. Wit.- son, Surgeon, of Argyle-Rreet, was Mr.l.swis's particular friend, be was fent for alfo. Mr. Lawn was cupped and 'bled; and in fomething more than in hour after the fit came on, he recovered his fades and fpeech. The fira thing he did was to refire that Mrs. Laws fhotdd be font for ; this was done, and Mr. Lewis confiderably recovered was conveyed home in a carriage. We were hap py to hear lalt night that be was very mach reco--1 vered, and in a fith• Iry of doing well; and we fincerely hope that fo good a father and a hothead will for a hog dee continue as ornament to ow I Rage.

Mr. LOVEDAT Mika - Mr. WIGAN Public curiofity, fo much excited by the admi rable reprefentations of this fchool on former oc cafions, may very naturally expea, that of the prefent performance we make, as ufual,fome brief report. Shyloci, the Jew, as the mot prominent character in the piece, firft prefents himfelf to notice. Great as is the undertaking of fuch a part, even to thofe who have made the drama the profeifion of life, yet in the diverfified powers of this young gentleman, our espeaations have not been baulk. ed. Beyond the builnefs of nage eke, he had well imagined the deep defigns of the vindiaive Shylock *gain(! the Chriftian Merchant, and ftrongly marked them to the audience by look, aaion, and utterance. The charafter of .fitodo was molt ably fup ported. He conveyed to the heart, by an inteUi gent and chalk Kyle of aging, all thofe noble qualities of refolute friendfhip and undaunted af feaion, which the part of Antonio is calculated to iafpire. • filled his character extremely well, and in foam parts of the laft as was excellent. Lorenzo was diftinguilbed for his elegant ap pearance and correa deportment. Grails:to aged with much fpirit and humour. Mott inimitably did Lomat, the Jew's fervant, acquit himfelf. His terrified vifage and droll grimace in the firuggle between confcience and the fiend's advice, kept the whole company in continued laughter, and equally well did he main tain a ihrewdnefs of humour in his dialogue with GsMs, who reprefented the old man with great jufiice. The Duk of realts has confiderable claims on our approbation. He fupported the character with eafy and graceful satire, with fuitable and dignified exprellion. Portia we cannot fay too much in commen dation ' • but we would referve the h e ight of pr a if e till the fifth att. All the performers in that grand fcene appeared by collifion to advance in greatnrfs. The (peaking eyes and pathetic exhortations of the tender-hearted Portia feemed to intereft every heart, except that of the ttern and unrelenting Jew, who teemed the more intent on glutting his favage cruelty, by an immediate execution of the bond; but when he is threatened with the penalty of death, if in cutting the powgd of "eh he lied one drop of blood—the quit lc tranfition of appro priate ration in the look, pofture, and expreffionof each performer, made a very striking impreffion, and exhibited a piece of fuperlative tieing. In. the pante, which was made by Portia, after the line " Tarry a little—there is fomething the expreffion of wonder and anxiety on the face of the characters produced an died which we have feldom Peen equalled, and which deferved and re ceived a protracted Writ of applaufe. Naffs, as likewife 7firtea ' were defervedly ad mired in their retpeaive ch aracters for propriety of expreffion and gracefulnefs of manners. The limits of our paper will not allow us to dame each performer feparately, or to do ample *lice to thole principal characters which wihave already mentioned. Every performer, in the part ' allotted to him, is entitled to the merit of having done it well. The dreffes were new and rich. The fcenery, efpecially that of the Rialto, bad a grand effeEt. Mr. HATZLL. we underltand, is the ingenious atilt. As What the Theatre was filled on each night with the beauty and failtion of the town and neighbourhood, who were liberal in their applaufe. Tickets of admiilion for the two lait evenings were in fuch requeft, that very many refpettable applications for them could not be gratified. The prologue and epilogue will appear in a future paper. The former is the compofition df Mr. Pvs, the latter of Mr. Bottom). On Saturday a molt numer ous and highly re fpeetable Meeting of the Ekdors for the County of Middlefea took place at Hayes, near Uxbridge. Mr. Alderman Comm one of the Reprefentatives in Parliament for the City of London, was in the Chair. A number olloyal and patriotic toafts were given from the Chair, which were received in the moil rapturous manner, and the bonnet's of the day paired off with great hilarity and decorum. A Warrant has been ifued at the iniligation of Mr. HAIIDIIIIOI, the Wel& Judge, who happened to be rang through &Arab on a tour, againti the impoßor who has duped fo many at Kef wick, atc. by reprefenth Colonel ALIMANDRA Hors, M.

The Carpenters of his Majefty's chips in °Hi• nary at Woolwich and Deptford, have returned on board their refpeiltive chips, in confequence of the workmen of thofe yards having become fenfible of their error, and agreed to work as formerly. His Majefty's Chip ETHALmii, of 38 guns, the Taft new frigate launched at Woolwich, is nearly rigged with jury malls, and will fail in a f e w days for Sheeenefs, to be hid up in ordinary.

CAMPBELTOWN, OCTOBIR 7. On the sth intl. about one o'clock P. M. sr. exert(' reached DUNCAN STRWART I Erg. Admiral Depute of this port, with intelligence that a large fhip was feen diimaited, upon her beam ends, and apparently finking, off Auchachoan Head, near this place. Notwithltanding of its , being then blowing very hard from the S. W. accompanied with hail fhowers, the only Tar' then in this har bour that could venture to lea (although the had a very valuable cargo on board) was, with twelve able feamen, fent to the (hip's affiltance. Upon her coming up with the (hip near the Point of Carradell, the found that fome of her mails had been carried overboard, the main mail nearly cut through, the veffel upon her beam ends, and fit feet water in her hold. They initantly offered to aft to pump out the water, thift the balls(!, fo as that the (hip could raife up, and bring her to a place of fafety (even to Greenock but the matter refuted to accept of any manner of af. &lance whatever, and had not even the civility of fo much as thinking the men who left their own employment and went to his affillance, up on which they, however, reluitantly, left the (hip in the great,? cEfirdi, and anchored be. hind the Point of Carradell, where they remained all night, not being, on account of the ftorm, able to return to Campbeltown. Shortly thereafter they taw the flip drop anchor in a very dangerous bar off Bannolloch, where the, upon the morning of yefterday, funk in about fifteen fathoms water.— Upon enquiry, the is found to be the Minerva, of Moult, P/TER CoaneLlus mailer, bound from Dublin for Morce, in Norway. A pre-cognition relative to the matter has been inilituted by the Admiral. CAUTION TO MARINERS. As doubts remain with feveral navigators re. fpeaing the exigence of Aken's rock to the welt ward of Tory, I think it a duty to make public the following information relative to it, commu nicated to me by the Rev. Joni STEWART, a pail fenger with me in the Enterprize, from New York to Greenock, on Thurfday, Aura gth, 1792: — Ship Negor of Greenock, Capt. ---, from New York bound to Greenock, being in lat. per obfer vation of 55. 19. N. and long. per account of 9. 53. W. of London. The officers, paffengers, and 'hip's company who were then on deck, perceived a rock about four feet below the furface'of the wa ter, not five fathoms from the weather beam of the 'hip, in the form of a horfe fhoe, with one fide ra ther longer than the other ; the mace inftantly threw an empty barrel overboard—the yaul was got out as foon as poffible, and the mate, four hands, and two paffengers, Mr. AWDRIW BROWN, merchant, now of Albany, in the State of New York, and Mr. EDWARD Mooar, fon of the late Sir Limner:. Mooaa of Cove, near Cork, went in the boat, and were abfent near two 'hours in fearch of the rock ; but owing to the (hip's drift, and a dark cloud which then obfcured the atmof. phere they could find neither rock nor barrel. Mr. Samar was then a paffenger in the Neltor, and raw the rock plainly with the tangle growing on it. FORTESCUE CUMMING, Matter of the dip Enterprize of New York.
