FROM A YOUNG GENTLE MAN, AT CAPE IN•NCOIS, DATED OCTONEIL 30, TO HIS FATHER, IN PHILADELPHIA. Left an exaggerated account of the late dif turbance fhould reach you, I will minutely inform you of every circumflance. The chief ground of complaint appears to be an article in the conftitu tion, authoi i ling the importation of naves into the colony. Some ambitious and faaious men took ad vantage of this, to imprefs the negroes with a be lief that the ancient regime was to be revived, and they were to be made naves. The principal fo menter of this infurreaion is one Flaville, Com mandant at Limbe, (about 18 miles from the Cape), and what is lingular, the chief caufe of the former revolution in this colony, and the man that firft made Touilaint a General, being the oldeft General in the ifland. He conceived him felf inured in not being promoted to a more ex alted Ration. The objea was, the extirpation of the whites, and nothing fhort of a miracle has preferved us. Some unguarded expreffions excited fufpicion, and a Captain of the National Guards, called Trois Bal, was taken. General Criftoff (Touffaint and Moyfe being out of town) ordered his head to be immediately taken off. The fellow's courage failed him, and he difclofed the molt horrible plot ever known. He was to corn mand in town, and Flaville in the country. On the night of the a4th, fome difturbance was to be', made,, when, as ufual on fuch occafions, the gene raft was to be beaten. This was the fignal upon which they were to murder every white man and mulatto, women and children not excepted. In the mean time, Flaville was to aft the fame fcene in the country, and to march into town in the morning, his friends having previoully got Oaf: lion of the forts. 4 , Upon this information of Trois Bal, 40 offi cers were apprehended,' and the capital of Do mingd and its white inhabitants faved from de firuetion. A large army wps marched, under the command of General Sutcliff, from this place, to meet the brigands. The 'villains had already commenced their bloody worts. Scarcely a white or mulatto man, woman, or child, efcaped the horrid carnage. •The number matacted is fup poled to be 4 or 500. A blind man of 90, a friend of Moyle, was in the number. The Gene ral (wore vengeance. He joined the army; and ordered no quarter to be given, but to (hoot every man as taken. His orders have been obeyed, and few have efcaped. Flaville was taken by arata gem, and is now in gaol Imre- Every day num bers bleed. The flighteft fufpicion, and you lac your head. A man laft night cried " Fire !" He was brought to Criftoff. The General drew his fahre, cut off his head, and threw it into the Area. Government mull now thew its ftrength, ir all is loft. Moyfe and Criftoff are now' in town, and the Governor daily cape/led. The ifland is at prefent tranquil. A few trbops only remain to purfue the fugitives. Among the killed is Gene ral Toutraint's old matter. Another letter fays, Sixty or feventy whites have been maffacred upon the plantations; and another letter to the Mayor of Baltimore fays, order has been reamed at the Cape." THEATRES. Covsar•Galos N.—The tragedy of Atfrofe at traCted Lift night a very fafhionable audience. Some material alterations were for the firft time introduced, by which the incidents are more inti mately conneisled, and practical jufi ice asiminillered with more confifiency. The fecond and third ads are now fo lengthened that the fourth clofes with the Chapel Scene.— The fifth commences at the outride of the Mine, and the explefloo is conducted with a crafh Inked to the terror and awful folemnity of the occafion. The King, alarmed by the feafonable interference of Orfigo, fur rounds the confpirators with his troops, and a conflict, which terminates in the de feat of Gafario, takes place among the ruins. Ansel rofiz innead of expiring on the Stage is fupported in her laft moments, and an interefting picture, compofed of the King, Antelrofa, the bodies of Orfino, Crfario, and the principal attendants, is formed, on which the curtain drops. The long dialoguebetween*Cefario and Antelrofa has been judicioufly omitted. DRURY.LANE—The Tragedy of Cpnbefiat was brought forward hal night at this Houfe, with the chief firength of the Company. We do not recoiled to have feen more energy and animation difplayed by KEMBLE in any of his former performances of Pettnnus, than in his de lineation of this charadcr yellerday evening. In the lachiono of BABILYMORE there is not much to commend. PA L M ER'S Ciotti produced confiderable laughter; but the humour was unquettionably given in too coarfe a manner. Of the Imogen of Mrs. SIDDONS, it slay not per haps be thought too prefumptuaus to fay, that it is not one of thofe charalers which this unrivalled Mtrefs can call peculiarly her own. The motives of feeling and of adion are too weak to call forth her powers. Amgen is all tendernell, meeknefs, and refignation. She is not fufceptible of re fentment or indignation. She feels, indeed, her diftreffes; but the "turns her eye, and weeps over them." The great and a&ive palms are afleep, and the potent workings of jealoufy are not inftru mental in exciting her talents to that probation of which the is fo eminently capable. A Meeting of the Old Renters of Dury-Lane Theatre, fo numerous, as it turned out, as to re prefent within a few names the whole of the Old Renters' interektook place yeflerday,at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, according to public adver tifement. Tumuli BRAND, Efq. was called to the Chair at half pat one o'clock. The occafion of this meeting was Rated by Mr. SHFRIDAN in a fpeech short, manly, and ingenuous. The delay and irregularity in the payment of their rents fince the ereaton of the new Theatre was confeffed and accounted for. The fettlement made for their fu ture priority to all charges after the payment of the Company, was read to them from the arrange• ment to be fubmitted to the LORD CHANCELLOR, as well as the provifion prepared for any outftand ing arrears. The plan met the univerfal approba tion of the Company; and one Gentleman propofed that the meeting fhould come to a refi)lution to forego the mode of redrefs which their title deeds gave them by entry and diftrefs - on the property. This, with great deference to the friendly inten tions of the mover, was oppofed by Mr. SHERIDAN, who Paid it was not his intention, becaufe he had afcertained what was but firid juftice to the old renters in future, to propofe to curtail any part of their fecurity for the palt.--He alfo obferved, that although the meeting appeared very unanimous and refpe&able, yet he did not apprehend that a ma jority of the old renters were prefent, and if they were, Rill they could not bind the abfentees, ilill lets minors, traces and others. On the whole, he was convinced by ewerience, that the forbearance and moderation of the renters in this refped might fafely be relied on,, as far as related to the paft, as in future no poflible unpunduality could occur. Mr. TtowaßD begged permiflion to let Mr. SHE. RIDAN right as to the idea of a majority of the old renters not being prefent, and &fired the Treafurer to call over the lilt, when it appeared that the whole of the (hare holders, except a very few, were either aaually prefent, or reprefented by perfons who anfwered. Mr. SHERIDAN, however, Dill wifh ed the refolution not to be preffed, and it was ac cordingly withdrawn. The meeting then unai moufly voted an approbation of Mr. SHERIDAN'S propofition refpeitiug their ,intereft, and thanks to the Chairman.
