(heir object, the: vettle on the elfast of Normandy, rent a small Wawa, Lion of vines, and a snug cottage, and bring up the son. -which Julia (the daughter of the seaman) has had by the French Count, in hitinMe and contented obscurity. Tit Count has become a Duke, and unknown to them is in ther aei,ghboured atuler a different title, w here he is about to espouse a wealthy heiress This lady's lover is supposed to be dead The Duke had attempted to assassinate him, and he believes that he had succeeded in his attempt. The Duke (as all such dukes ought to be) is, however, mistaken. The lover is living, and having found shelter ;led protection in the cottage of the sea man, be presents the 31) h, (1 4 :e son offal/in) with his ring and parse. Fatal gifts, the-e hey draw upon the youth the sus p'icion of being a murderer : the Duke favours the insti;:ation, and condemns his own son to execution, together h the father of his wife as an accomplice. The moment of death ap proaches—the stage is crowded with the dreadful cavaleade,— •when the lover of the lady arrives—the tables are turned against the villa;aaus Duke,—who is glad to come oft' by confessing his crituesand by making the seamaa's daughter a Duchess. Liston is intended to be humorous in a very silly character, which a - fords hitu no play for that quaintness n hick ought to lie em ployed in the teal characters of real comedy. The youth is per formed by .lorsca, who stares with vela effect: if humnur com- • Silted in wagging the upper jaw,--if surprize was expressed by a ierk,ar.d sorrow As goggling, the eyes, Jones might be esteemed a first-rate actor. Farley's seaman is an abominable rant, Grove in a covetous old . v Wager, was much less at home than in many attic old men's parts which we have seen him perform. There was indeed no part well played : hut we can readily - believe that no part, written with the insipid sentimental bum hag, and silly buffoonery with which all these parts seem to have been composed could be well played. Some passages in theovcrture were excellent, and the song of " little None:lie" by Mrs. Liston deserved all the applause it obtained. The gew-gaw of the scenes and dresses are imposing, and pi n i n i v prove that folly on the stage, as well as in society, requires all the decorations that expense can bestow or absurdity in vent, to make it acceptable. But, that thus splendidly attired it can laugh common sense out of countenance,—affect sensibi lities to which it is a stranger,--and get credit for merits which are diametrieally opposite to its very existence.

SlR,—The position taken by the Russian flotilla under Per. c•ola Point, seemed so much like a defiance, that I considered something- was necessary to he done, in order to impress these strangers with that sense of respect and fear which his Majesty's other enemies are accustomed to chew to the Britislt nog ; therefore detinantned to gratify the anxious w ish Of Lieutenant . :law key to lead the boats of the ships named in the margin,. * w hie() %yen. stsseo: Wed by nine o'clock last night, and proceeded a it h air irresistable zeal and intrepidity inwards the enemy. who had the advantage of local know ledge, to take a position of ex. traordinary strength within two rocks, serving as a cover to their wings, nod front whence they could pour a destructive hie id' grape upon our boats, which, notwithstandidg, advanced with perfect coolatn:s, and ,!ever tiled a gun till actually touching the enemy. when they boarded E‘i ord in hand, and carried all be fore them. I believe a more brilliant atchievement does not grace the re cords of our aaval history ; each officer was impatient to be the leader in the attack, and each man zealous to emulate t heirmthle example, and the most complete success has been the conse.. tinence of lull determined bravery ; of eight gun-haats, each mnuating a thirty-two, and twenty-four pounder, and forty-six men, six have been bronght out, and one sunk ; and the whole of the ships and vessels, (.t welve in number), under their protec tion, laden shish powder ail provisions for the Russian army, brou7lit out, and a large armed ship taken and burnt ; I have deeidy to lament the loss of many men killed and wounded, and. especially that most valnable. officer Lieutenant Hawkey, n ho,, li f ter t a ki ng oac goa.b,iat, was killed by a grape-shot, in the act of boardiag t :le second. No praise can do adequatejnst ice to) this lamented pAung man ; as an officer he was active, correct, and zealous to the highest degree ; the leader in every kind of emerprize, and regtrdless of danger ; he delighted in whatever could tend to promote the glory of his country ; his last words. were, • 6 BUZZ I'17;1( ON ! ND VOR evla!" Alr. Hawkey had been away in the boats on diP;erent services since last Monday, accompanied by Lieutenant `Vernon, w hose conduct in this affair has been hi;:,hiy exemplary, and shew ea him worthy to he the companion ofro heroic a swan; but while I tiro induced to mention the name of Mr. Veraon, from his coo sum services with Air, Haw key, I feel that, ev or Officer, sea man, and marine, has a claim to my warmest praises, and will, trust, ohtaia your favoarable rocommendatioa to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Lieutenant Charles Allen, of the Bellerophon, was the senior officer after Mr. Hass key's death. I have..Ht been informed, that Lieutenant Stirling, of the Prometheus, who was sevcrely wounded, is since dead ; his conduct in this :drar was very eonspicnows, and Captain Ferrest speaks highgly in praise of the zeal and activity of•his services on every occasion. 1 am sure you will readily believe that Captain Forrest did not witness the preparation for skis attack, without feeling an ardent desire to eemmand it, but I was oh lined to resist his pressing iinportunity, as a matter of justice to Mr. Hawkey. • The Ittis-:ians have safr.red sr%erety in this conflict ; the umq moderate stit:nient malies it appear that two-thirds of the .a have 1):.•ea killed and %%sounded, or jumped overboard,— Enclosed is a list of killed and wounded, the names of the °dicers employed, an account of veswls capiered,.and number of pi i-nners.
