11 1 E.•TRe, DRURr-LANE. I.igiit a new Comedy, entitled Lover,' Re j.,:at; du, me prodnelion of the veteran CUSISER %eI% pr,duced for the firft time at this Theatre, of which the following was the call of charaeters Lord }mine . Mr. Warm c ton Gencral Higbastwe - PALIMISIL Map( Maaford Por t Jut Worthington BAN:4I37[R Mr. Mapktop - Dan roe Timothy Mapletop -- Snarl. David WATSIN Lady Caroline - - Mrs. Port Fanny Rivas - . Youw o. During the abfence of Major Ittonford on the late Dutch expedition, where he greatly dillinguithed himfelf, by Come artifice the heart of Lady Caroline, the amiable and accomplifhed daughter of Lord Erville, is eftranged from him, and the promifes her band to alSir Richard Makola, who does not ap. pear in the play ; he, however, being a fickle (wain, foregoes the lady, who feels all her affec tions return to the firft objea of them ; the recon ciliation of the two lovers, by removing the ob ftacles which a high fenfe of honour throws in the way of each, conftitutes the main bufinefs of the piece.—What is intended for an underplot, is made up of the loves of a Kentifh Yeoman, and a young Lady, the ward of M4or Manfor,i ; and the in-1 fignificancies of the family of the Maidetops, one of the members of which, Mr. Timothy, is intended for a humorous charader ; but his whimficalities were not well relifhed by the audience, any more than were the blunt formalities of General Highoure, a fort of folemn Merfiet. Through the two firft aCts of Lover: Rehlastiont the audience were attentive, and the piece teemed to promife intcreft ; but every fucceeding fcene be. came more and more languid, till at length the murmurs of difapprobation were fo loud, that it was with difficulty the performers were heard ; it however, be admitted, that they all exerted themfelves to the utmoft ; but on giving out the piece for a fecond reprefentation on Saturday, BAN NISTER was not fuffered to proceed. On Mr. Colt- AEILLAND'S account, we profit's our forrow, in con• fideration of his former very meritorious claims. In the play before us are Come affeeting tuna tions and feveral admirable fentiments, but the whole feem but the gleanings of the port folio of a man of genius, arranged with little Andy Tnc Prologue indeed appealed to the candour of the audience, chiefly on the ground of the author's pall Cervices. The Epilogue had nothing to recommend it to particular notice. The levity of Mrs. POPE'S drefs in Lady Carotene gave Tome offence. A palrage in the play, complimentary to that martyr to the caufe of his country, General Asta clumsy, was received with an enthuilaftic built of applaufe. IncLinou continuing indifpofed, the part < f Madvails was undertaken Lift night atCovent Ga - der. by HILL, who lung the fongs in a refpeltab'e Ityle. Mrs. LLlNcrou'i Pelly afforded, as ufual a moll deleCtahle treat, and Mrs. MARTYR'S Luty was uuly excellent and effective. COORF, of Covent G.irdcn Theatrg, is gone to Portfmouth, to perform therc a few nights.

The following account of the carnival at Paris is copied from the letter of a correfpondent, dated February 22. " I entered Paris on Sunday, and I find it is flill the holiday with nearly three-fourths of the people. Every carriage on the Boulevards was filled with Turks. Tartars, Chinefe, Nuns, Sulta nas, &c. all molt fuperhly and charaCteriftically dreffed. From the humbler cabrinlit, there flared ' the bead of a bear, a lion, an eagle, or a monkey; and fome of the former fo well executes, that it required fome ftrength of nerve to meet their fud den approach. The fquare of the Louvre, the gardens of the Thuilleries, and every other public place, was filled with groupes of the fame defcrip tion. In the ftreets, nothing was to be teen but fhoals of the younger fry flying in every direCtion before Harlequin's wooden (words and the cobler's, with here and there a foubrette faintly avoiding the clumfy embrace of Pierrot. " This is the revival of the Carnival, an silage which may be traced up to the earlier ages of Chrif tianity. It oommences the week before Lent, and ends with Mardi :nu, or Shrove Tuefday. It has been difcontinued, in a great degree, fince the Re volution, and was particularly &countenanced by the timid and unftable Directory, who faw, in every allemblage of the people, nothing but infur reaion. Thefe Calve exertions, it teems, on the contrary, to be the policy of the Confider Govern ment to encourage. " You are not to fuppofe that this fcene of gaiety and merriment, lb natural to the French people, dotes with the parade of the day. On the con trary, the Opera opens its fplendid faloon for the higher dalres it eleven o'clock at night, and the dance is kept up until the morning. " The Theatres, in the mean time, are not ne gletaed. There are not let's than ty of them now open, and all are filled every night; but the (hanger, who wi fLes ta fee the falbionable world, mull equal ly refrain from going on Sunday evening, and on that of the Decade. On there occafions the Gen: csinme ii find vacate their feats, and they are occu pied by holiday folks of different defcriptions. It WAS intimated to me on Saturday, that the Firft Conful was to be at the Opera Buffa, where, in con fequence, it was neceffary to take an early place. There was nothing on the outfide, to indicate this vifit, except that twofoldiers were placed to prevent foot paffengers from the Boulevards going down the Rue Favart. In every other direction, the ac cefs was uninterrupted. The Conful took his place in the &ft row over the loge: grille', and was accompanied by Madame BONAPARTE, Mad. L. 3011•PARTE, (late Mademoifelle BEAUHARBOIS,) Genera, DUROC, CAFARELLI, and feveral other Officers. He was loudly applauded on his en trance ; after which he took his feat in the back of the box, and the performance commenced. The piece was La Irdlaiela ratite". Extra& of a Letter from a Gentleman belong. ing to Glafgow, who.refided twenty-two years In Jamaica, dated Trinadad, Dec. ty, 18ot. "We are in great glee at the return of peace,and the papers declare you to be fo likewife.—This ifland being retained in our polreffion, will add im. menfely to our commerce and manufactures. It is by far the eatieft wrought and kindlieft foil for the fugar cane I ever faw. It is a capital place for a young adventurer with a fmall flock to be ;in with ; and had 1 not been broiling fo long in the torrid zone, it would not require much to tempt me to dip in the foil and fit down four or rive yews. Many adventurers are expected from the other iflands ; and no doubt, in a very few years, it wiil be a very flourifhing colony, and sometimes I am tempted to think, be very lit tle, if any thing Ibort of the importance of Ja maica. I know many of my friends would flare at this atlbrtion, and little doubt I might have boggled at it mytelf; but as it is not my cuflom to be blind to thong, flubborn, felf evident faCts, although againft a favourite theory, io I do not hefitate in laying this ifland will tread WI on the heels of Jamaica, in every point of view, if not get the ftart of it. Its capability and facility for Weft India produce, cannot be denied, and its contiguity to the Spanifh main is of much confequence to certain manufaCtures. As a place of ftrength, it is capable, from its &nation, of my improvement. That fcourge of the Jamaica planters, a hurricane, is unknown here ; chore vermin, rats o that deltroy fuch immenfe quan tities of canes in Jamaica, are, I am told, never 'ten in a cane piece here ; and what mutt be of mat importance, the communication between america and this, is much later than between Ja maica and America ; and the difference in a voy :ge Item ten Britain and Jamaica or Trinidad, .rill bear uo Lomparifon." imuric4L INTELLIGENCE.

The Counters of CLARE has fet off with her fuite to Mount Shannon. where her Ladylhip intends to refide until the new houfe (he has taken in Bag got -greet is ready for her reception. Saturday tail the Fortunee frigate, of 44. guns, Lord AMELIUS BEAUCLER K Commander, arrived at Scatter) , ; fhc is to be Rationed in that go:titer to prevent fmuggling. A few days fine a gentleman, with his wife and child, proceeding in a curricle to a part of the county of Kildare, where be had recently taken a farm, was fired at on his way thither by fome ruffians in ambufcade. The Blot grazed the gen tleman on his temple, which naturally occafioning the utmoft terror on the part of his wife and child, the latter gave expreffion to her fears in a loud outcry : at this moment a fecond fhot was die charged, which pafred through both cheeks of the infant, and, as we have been informed, very for tunately, without touching any contiguous part. MURDER.—Relative to the fufpeded murderer of Mrs. Davidfon, of Peter's-row, we were wrong in our haft flatement. It has appeared that Tho mas Radcliffe Crawley had been obferved in the town of Newry—in confequence of which Mr. Ste phen Dejoncourt, with affiitants, proceeded to that town, with a view to apprehend him. This un happy perfon had delivered a letter to the pod matter of Newry, direded for Dublin, addrelfed to an inhabitant of this city, telling him that lie expelled an anfwer of tome moment, and making ufe of a fiditious addrefs. He initruded the poll mailer to deliver it to him only, as he would at• tend at the period when an anfwer was reafonably to be exile led. With thefe inftruetions the poll matter expreffed his intention to comply.—Suf pit.ions, however, were entertained unfavourable to the perfon applying, and thofe fufpicions were confiderably firengthened by a description 'of Mrs. Davidfon's murderer, arrived through the Hue and Cry. The poft-mafter judicioufly, therefore, under thefe ideas, difpatched the letter, under cover, accompanied with his fufpicions to Mr. Lees, of the Poll office here. By this meafure the fufpeEted perfon was effectually traced. The letter, wit: Jr we have r,prefented to have been ori ginally entered at Newry, was found to be an en velope, directed to an ordinary acquaintance, who WAS to forward an enclofure to a more particulai friend, from whom an immediate pecuniary affif tance was folicited,in order to enable the applicant to obtain a pallbge to America, an opportunity for which was Shortly to be expeded. Mr. Delon court, with fuitable affiftants, received inftruChons to proceed to Newry, and the application for an anfwer was, as expelled, made. It is unneceffary to fay, that the party applying was immediately fecured. He arrived in this city yeflerday evening. Crawley, it appears, did not leave Dublin until the night after the horrid tranfaction. He refided in a lipufe in Black Horfe-lane, with a female ac quaintance, and he packed up fome goods at that place, in preparation for a route ; in doing fo, he was attempted to he flopped by the owner of the houfe, for rent due to him ; whereupon Crawley beat the man feverely with a fhort piece of iron like a poker, which he took out of his pocket, and brought off the goods in defpite of his landlord.— In Newry, he affumed the name of 'Fhompfon. When he was apprehended, he affeded no con cern, and told the officers they had ailed wrong in taking him into cullody without proof. In fits way up to town yefterday, in a carriage, he fome times whiftled, to thew that he was under no dread. It appeared he and the woman had walked from Dublin to Newry. Laft night, about eight o'clock, they were brought before the fuperintendant Ma giarate, and underwent an exr.nsination ; there he flamed ligns of concern, but anfwered interroga tories with great caution, and got permiffion to write a letter to a friend, Rating his apprehenflon, and where he then was. Upon the hammer being being put into his hand, which is fuppofed to have been the inflrument with which the murder was committed, he denied • any knowledge of it, yet did not like to look upon it. The woman who was his companion haJ been a fervant to his fa ther. After undergoing !bin examination, the fupctintendant Magiflrate committed bins to the New Prifon, and had the woman lodged in a place for fafe keeping, until further examination. The prifoner was brought up again this day, and underwent an examination which hafted for More than two hours, when he was fully commit ted for trial, which is expeded to take place early in the enfuicg week.
