1 ~~~ -- ~'~~~• ~~ ':. ~ THE STATESMAN kir. MATtiEWS. We extract from the Philadelphia Gazette and Daily Adrertiser a statement of the circumstances which gave rise to the prosecution against a Boston Editor, which, we sometime ago learnt, Mr. Mathews felt himself called upon to commence. It is not unknown among us that the seats in the boxes of the Boston Theatre were, during Mr. Mathews' en gagement, and, in accordance with a practice adopted when Mr. Kean was in that city, sold at public auction ; and it should be mentioned that the sum of 2,400 dollars, beyond the established price of the box tickets, was raised from these sales. To one half of MN sum Mr. :Mathews was entitled by the terms of his engagement, and 1,260 dollars were faithfully paid over to haw by the Boston Managers. The engagement of Mr. Mathews with the Managers of the Theatre was completed to their entire satisfaction, anti to that of an unanimous public ; and the terms of that engagement did not, in any wise, forbid an exhibi tion of his justly popular talents, before the public after its conclusion. No such construction or interpretation of his agreement was claimed by the Managers, nor was the language in which his arrangement or its termina tion was announced in the papers such as authorised that expectation. Very many respectable persons, whose stations and whose pursudis did not permit their visiting the theatre; and some of whom had sought and cherished an intimacy and friendship with Mr. Mathews, as a companion and a gentleman, intimated their earnest wishes, that he o maid afford to them anopportunity to be present at some ut his performances at a pithily room. Botlawilling and desirous from sentiments of gratitude, for their hospi• talities and kindness, to comply with those wishes, as well as to contribute to a charity, to which his aid had been invited, he determined to announce that he would be " At flume," at Boylsnan Hall, on a particular even ing, and one not appropriated for' dramatic .perform emcee at the Theatre.— co this measure, thus intended, and the emolumen.s, of which were to be appropriated to " the British Charitable Society," the Managers of the Theatre made no objections a bich were known to Mr. Mathews, and a great number of the most respecta ble numbers of satiety in Boston and its vicinity Were shout to accept the invitation of Mr. Mathews, when on the day appointed for the exhibition, the following arti-. cic appeared in the Galaxy : • After publishing the address of Mr. Mathews, offered at the close of his engagement isith the Boston 31ana ger+, the Emfoor proceeds : " After all this ext vs of grateful feeling, and the posi tire assurances that his benefit %outd he the last night of his public appearance in Boston, it was to have beets bored that Mr. Mathews would bare left the city with- I out forfeiting the gcod cpinion of his farads, and with out committing any act of gross and unpardonable in justice to the people of his profession ; but it seems that, to gratify certain Ladies and Gentlemen, who, from various causes have been prevented front visiting the theatre,' Mr. Mathews is to be' at home' this evening. at Royston Hall. Mr. Mathews made a good bargain with tie Managers of time Theatre. He must have known that his visit to this place injnred their business before lie came, as well as after his departure. He has repeat edly assured them that Wednesday . evening was the last time that he could possibly appear in public, and on the faith of there assurances the manager assured the pub. lie, that it was the last opportunity they could have of witnessing his entertainments. But certain Ladies and 4ientlemen could rot vi it thy Theatre to see him. Why could they not? Because they would not. They will mot even give their countenance to support a Theatre and a stationary company of players,hot they will encourage by thair countenance and money . an itinerant mimic, who offers his instructive and chaste imitations in any other place. They will not go to a Theatre to see a tragedy of Shakespeare, or a comedy of Sheridan, but they are{ extremely anxious to get into Bo y ston Hall, to see Mr. Mathews irn't ,te a sea-sick rustic, or a drunken coach man, and to hear him retail the old stale jokes of Joe Miller, and tell the delicate adventures of Mr. Rump footle and Mrs. Ninicompips. . 6 We hope that some oldiging.correspondent will fa vommr us with the nausea of the ladies and gentlemen Wm° are most forward in patronizing. this entertainment, which can be viewed in no o ther lig ht- than a premedi tated act of injustice to the Managers of the Thea•re. and an instill to the public generally.—lf we hear of any of our learned Professors, sage Judges. wise Legislators, or pi eats Clergymen being present, we shall ro: fail to wake report thereof to the public, and endeaa our to hold up to the almiration, if not to the imitation of our read • ers, the example of those fastidious ladies and gentle men, whase delicate stomachs cannot digest a pley, but can gorge their cormorant appetites on the vulgarity and smut, n hich have hare been scooted from the stage as wale and disgusting excresenre s. " On further reflection, we think Mr. Mathews not so very much to blame. His audience this evening will stipply him with abundant materials wherewithal to far nith a new entertainment when he is next • at home,'on the taller side of the Atlantic." It would he a violation of the respect due to time un ier. standings of those for whose perusal this paper is intended, to enter into an argument to show, that there is nothing of just or lib• ral critic ism, nothing of generous or prop , r coutinent, nothing of fa;r impartial observation in the article which has hi en faithfully copied. It charges Mr. Mathews with h a v in g p ractised a fraud on the public, epres and ention upn the manaers of the Boston) Theatrfs, by r g his performances at the nein tre as the last time he could possibly appear before the 'Swoop public. But the Elitist. was not satisfied with this. He pro ceeded to hold tip the exhibitions of Mr. Mathews to the em noires and condemnation of the moralist ; he represents them as " furnishing the means of gorging cormorant appetites w ith vulgarity and smut, which have been scouted from the stage. as stale and disgusting excres cences •" thus exposing to a crimin al p rosecution time ob ject of ' his slanders, and then he goes on and threatens to " make report" to the public of those who should b•- come knowu to him to bare been visiters of the per fvrmances. The nature of • this attack can better he known by its ef fects, than by an 'gemination of tt a particular language in which it was made. Numbers of the citizens of Boston, who intended to visit Mr. Mathews in the evening, ere de terred by it from accomplishing their design. The fattier hesitated to attend himself, or to permit his children to view en exhibition represented to be immoral and shameful in its nature and in its character ; and many a virtuous citizen refused to countenance an entertainment thus openly &- Pounced, and others who did sot desire to hate their names held up to public notice, refused to be among the auditors of Mr. Mathews. Thus the purpose of the author of this at tack was accomplished ; the fee ings of Mr. Mathews were severely wounded; a great number of persons were preveat red the enjoyment of a must amusing and an unexceptionable spectacle ; and a charity, which gives food to the hungry and clothing to the naked, was deprived of a large addition • to its means. • Mr. Mathews, before hetet Boston. in &mance of a ale termioation formed and expressed long before , gave to the Theatrical Fund the sum of 1,-200 dollar; heist* Olds por tion of the extra receipts for the tickets -, and to the British Charitable Society, and the Tiseatriea.

Bennet. [We should think that the only cause of the illness of the prisoners, is the dampness of the situation. A more unwholesome place could not have been chosen.] SOUTH AMERICA. Catomar v.—Extract of a letter from Capt. Matthews, Commander of the National Colombian brig Patriots, of IS guns (formerly the Mosquito of the British Navy), to a House in the C.ty : " I am sure it will give you pleasure to hear of my being promoted to the command of the Patriots, of IS guar. Our crew consists of 126 men, SO of which are English sea men, and as prime as can be icked, being generally from 25 to 36 years of age, and of such a sort as will command success in any fair and equal combat. Our marines are half Eng lish and half native Colombian'. One Captain nod one Lieutenant, both the latter were formerly in the English ser vice, as Lieutenants of Marines. 6 ! Soon after our arrival here from Europe, we sailed with the fleet under Commodore Daniels, and returned after a cruise of three weeks, bringing with us amongst other prizes a Spanish Ship of War, mounting 24 guns. and having a complement of 2635 men. We found 3e,000 dollars on board. The Spaniards only fired four guns; we did not lose a stogie man ki led or wounded. They had two killed and four wounded. I hope my share of prize money this short cruise will amount to 3001., 2201. I have already received. The ar ticles shipped by you are nearly all disposed of. but the prices are rather lower titan we were led to expect, as every thing is in great abundance from America. The Americans having acknowledged the independence of Colombia (which will soon be as rich and powerful as the United States. the English are losing the trade fast, and nothing but the recog nition of our independence by Britain will give the English merchants an equal chance. " La Guyra produces abundance of Indigo, Corot, andeatfee,besides all that can be required for the comforts and elecancies of life. I like the people much, and the Government supplies us with every thing of the best, in a manner at once liberal and regular. I find La Ouyra a very healthy place—the prevailing cause of dissolu tion being old age, which will reach you as well on the banks of the Thames, and from which even our own de lightful native town° can claim no exemption. It still he well for you to advise your friend -- not to send either of his vessels to this place on spec. There are already a great number of very fine ones here which are net waste I, nor can any sale be effected, or a commis sion for them now be procured. This Government will not again license privateers, all in future must he o vernment ships, the discipline the same ason board EnGg lish men of war. " You will not foil to remember me to all your friends I have bad the pleasure of meeting, ant to write on the receipt of my letter to my family at Penzance° ; inform them that I was never better in health, and I hope yet to have the pleasure of ‘i•iing an English port under the national and never-yielding flag of proud Colombia." Cunecos, Fan. s.—From a Ion?, article in the Vcve zoluno, it seems that the next Congress which still as semble in Bogota will be called on to aeitle two questions of great national importance : in the first place, they are to make choice of a con-titution from three already formed at different periods, called the constitutions of Venezuela, San Tomes de Angostura, and the city of Rosario de Cucuta: in the second place, they are to de termine whether the whole republic shall have but one head, or shall be divided into several different states, confederated under one goeernment. The latter plan is recommended, on account of toe different degrees of cul tivation, and the various in:crests and habits existing in different ports of the country; and it is proposed that the states be formed as nearly equal as possible, and that each send a single deputy, or at least all an equal number of deputies to the general Congress. The Government have it in contemplation to send an Envoy Extraordinary to the United States, to remain at Washington, and Jose Maria Solizar is proposed for that office. He has al ready held several important stations in the state and the army. A private letter from Curacoa, dated Feb. 11, contains the following intelligence:— •' Mr. De Sob informed me yesterday that he ha I just seen a letter front General Paez, stating that he was closely besieging Puerto Cabello by Lind; that Morales had b'een beaten by the Patriot forces near Truxillo ; that a large body of Lis troops had deserted to the Patriots ; and that Morales himself was closely pursued, and a ould in all probability be taken." • • Penzance, Cornwall. SPANISH PATRIOTISM.—We feel much pleasnre in re lating an anecdote of genuine patriotism on toe ptrt of the Dun de Lorenzo, and Admiral Jebat. Thee two Ambassadors have nut only given up to the public service the whole of the income assigned them as Auibassadurs, but the profits of all tile appointments of every kind, civil, military, and naval, they hold from the Spanish Uoveroment. So noble an example, we trust, will excite many such Patriotic sacrifices in Sp Gold imported tu.o the hlint.

THURSDAY EVENINO, APRIL 3, 11123. BOURBON WNR. The Yorning Chronicle has, at last, seen the wisols m of our advice, and has resolved to " distrust the influence of its wishes on its jadgoiew." Having thus easily -,:c terusined, it gives little credit to the rumours relating to ideurgent movements in France ; though it lashes for a sarcasm on Louis Me At. We do not see the wit of this ; but oe can easily discern something else in it, see ing that the Chronicle never talks of George Me fat -. though it is pretty well known that Coe latter is much about 33 fat as the former. We, the great We, the " e u games of France," may learn u hat we please ; and n..- holy is to show any thing like wit at oar expense. We arc privileged. We are exempted form all ordinary rule.. lis the war, our defeats were victories ; aye, and celebrated as such 1 We may, without any dishonour. submit to that fur a submission to the tenth part of which we call other natiocs slaves !—We have, however. nearly outlived our hectoring days. This war of the French, while we stand and look quietly on, will lush. • I our boastings so contemptible, that even the Genoese nut laugh at tit. STOCK-JOBBING NATION. The Exchange of London is the mart of lotus sod stock fur the whole world. The main part of the meals come out of the land and the labour of Englan I. The jobbers collect these mean.; into masses, and lend theta 1 all over the world. We shall have to thank the Frenca for destroying one branch of their custom. When we see English labourers with tits of old sacks round their shoulders and with legs twisted round with ha.r•taml , :, we trace the effect back to its cause at the paper-money and loan mart. If this THING can go on for a 1 , me years, this country will surpass in misery, in deplorable c.egradation, any thing that the world has yet seen. The English lithourers arc already worse clad than the Litz s roni of Naplcs.—More than Jiiair lliousard horses are now actually building on the skirts of this metropolis! And, the country is perishing. •,W la.tt a spectacle to behold! And yet, the landlords have nut the courage to move hand or foot, except against the poachers. There they are brave as !lectors of Troy. But, from the face of a Jew, they flee like fallow deer at the sight of bloodhounds! Their case is this: they see that they must be devoured by the JewF, unless that take place which would give the people fair play; and, they so shudder at the thought of Hs' ~ that they will, in all likelihood, go quickly down into the mare of Muses. 111611 PRICES. These never can return, without paper-money or soar. city. The thing is impossible. War or peace, the prise; cannot rise sod keep up touch above those of France. The fall that is now taking place all over the country is owing to the stop which has been put to speculation on the expectation of war. In France, when there really is war, there has been no rise of prices. The French na tion has never been deluded by the false prosperity of paper-money. Luckily for them, their paper-utoney was destroyed at a very early period. They have. therefore, none of these false notions respecting the effect of w.sr and peace on the prices of produce. It never seems to occur to our farmers to ask, how it came to pass, that war did not make corn high prier d ia France However, it is useless to reason with them on the salsjrct. They saw English corn dear in war, they saw it cheap when peace came, and they do believe, they will believe (and they will back their faith with their last shilling), that war makes corn dear, and that peace makes it cheap. This will be the belief, until the whole race be swept away !—llow ever, it will not be swept clean away without its dragging somethiag else alone with it. Many a one thinks; nay, whole clisses:tbiuk, that they ate snug; but, the ill•searehiog storm will reach them. As no Journals were put lished on Monday morning in Paris, on account of tl e Easter festivities, the only arrivals from that capital yesterday Consisted of private letters, on which hut litt'e reliance c.ll be placed. Some of these mention that the Duke d'Attgoulente, who had a r. rived at Perpignan, would return to 'Toulouse, to pass there the liaster solemnities, and finally arrive at the head quarters at Bayonne on the 31st. The same letters however state, that it ss:ts scarcely possible the army could move so early as the sth. Some paragraphs in the Paris papers of Sunday tend to confirm this opinion—at the same time that the vat 4TifeS in stating the same fart in the different Journals, is a caution against crediting their statements to th , I. tter. On Saturday, the 29tb,a park of artillery left Vincennes for the army of the renees. According to one Journal, it consisted of :0 Pieces of carmen ; a second Journal says 24; and a third states the number to have been above 100, covering an entire league of road ! It is matcial only to observe, th't whatever was the number of cannon, they could nit arrive at the Pyrenees in time to cross the frog. ti , r on the first of ANIL scarcely os the fifth.— Ansther Regiment of tthe Infantry of the Guard, and two squadrons of Cavalry, hal ~lso set out for the frontier. Whether these reinfeec m anti he the c onst• gnence of disappointment as to the state of the sr ny or of the failure of any hope; founded on the aid of the Chiefs and Bands of the F. its, or of the attitude which the Spaniards present on the frontier, it is impossible f us to determine. Other commanications pretend, en " wlt aut h o rity we know not, that the Ministers having re :t, 4 'i
