Had I been aware of the enormity of the offence which has excited so mach indiguation, I certainly should not have permitted my feelings to interfere with my interest. The " very bead and front of my offeadiag" amounts to this: An actor, honoured, patronised by his native country,. mad enjoying • high rauk in the drama, withheld his services — finder the impression that they were not duly appreciated; and so much du I fear the frailty of my nature, that it is mat improbable, under the same circumstances, I might be egangited to act in the same manner.

(tom the disappointment expe rienced by the public, hot • heavy pecuniary loss, from Mr. Keats s ono-fulfilment of his engagement with them, in. Judged** hope that they should not, in addition, - be ac. visaed of " concurring in any efrence to the public." Mr. Kesn's ststeirreut, however, repuhlished in the Boston papers of this slay,. has reduced'them to the unpleasant alternative, of either, by silence, admitting the troth of that statement, or of publicly disavowing it. They therefore respectfully slate, that Mr. Kean's refusal to perfusm the part of Richard was nut only without their coacurrence, but met from them all the opposition in their power, which they thought decorous and vuttemanly. This course was dictated by a sense of duty that they owed to the patrons of the drama ; and when they add that Mr. Kean was not to receive any specific sum for his services, but was $0 Aare the receipt• of the eight nights, if they exceeded • certain speed aura, and to have the ninth titzht clear fur his beds-fl, it will appear evident that irtereet as well as duly would preseut them from " cunciirrinic." the manageis submit this statement in duty to the pub. lie akiel themselves, nut from any hostility to Mr. Kean.

SANS SOIJCI. • [PROM CAPE IIAYTIEN.I The following account of a visit to Sans Souci. mid the cidadel built by Chrietoplie, is given by Captain Condry, recently returnee from the island of Hayti Asa favourable opportunity offered for visit ing the metropolis of ilayti, and its great military depot, our company, conpioing of Gen. Marion, his atteridarshi, a Colonel of the Guards, and my self, all well mounted. left the Cape iii the even ing ; and after a pleasant ride of about fourteen miles, arrived at the city of Sans Souci, the place of 'evidence of the late King and tyrant of Hayti. •• This city, except in the Palace Royal and• its specious rardens, has the appearance of but a poor country village ; and presents a striking contrast between wealth and poverity, iu the one stately edifice, which, in magnificence and splendour, ins, equal, if mot surpass, any in Europe, rising above a thicket of wretched-looking cottages and huts by which it is aurromided, awl which served as habitations fur the dignitaries of Chrissophe's Court. "'There is a ourpri.ing ~r riuleur in the whole plan and structure of the palace; and the money ex pended in its building and furniture must have amounted to au immense sum. But it is now going to ruin. more by the hand of violence thou by that of time, and btands a melancholy emblem of the &marl of ambition and power. At the time of my visiting it, the idle and hungry soldiers were stripping it of its rich nia'aogany fl. °is, wain.- coatings and ceding., and selling them fur whatever they would fetch, to prevent the necessity of la bouring For subsistence. ‘' Some of the frames of the superb mirrors, of twelve liy six feet, with which the rooms were almost lined, were still hanging; and their glas,er, with their brilliant lustre.; chandeliers, &e. with which every pot of the Palace was. ornamented, lay in scattered fragments on the ground, whe►e the soldiers, in their infatuation, had wantonly dashed them in piccts on the night of the suicide of Chris t oplie. " A few schools have been founded at Sins Souei, which abroad have the names of colleges, and for winch Professors horn Europe were solicited, when tOIIIII3OII village schoolmasters wet., u► fact, all that were twecs.ary in supply them. " Having ourveyrd the palace and the city, we bitan our route up the nsuuntain to the Citadel.— It was early in the morning, and when we had gain ed the height or► which this truly formidable and asta►uahnt;; foitificirtion stands, the dense vapour that ii.ea from the extensive plaits. below entirely hid it Irvin view. 'flie road up the mountain is extiernely bad, sod to me seemed scarcely passable; it, is so rugged us to ►ender it exceedingly fatiguing _ . - he ride, and in many Poen the ascent so steep. that we were obliged to dismount, and drive our horses up before us. After much exertion we at length reached our place of destination, and were soon admitted into the citadel, which for many years 1 had earnestly wished to behold, but which I had despaired of ever being able to visit, as the Commandant of Sans &mei has strict orders from the President to prohibit the entrance of all fo reigners; nor should I now have gained admission, but for the interest of my friend 0., whote info lace procured me liberty to enter the city. " A deep silence now reigned in the citadel; which had loug echoed to the din of arms, and the tools of the wretched mechanics, who were doomed by the cruelty of Christophe to drag out a miser able existence in slavery ; obliged to spend their days in• labour, and their nights chained in horrid dungeons, without being able to obtain a sight of their Cantina or friends for whole successive years. " It is impossible for description to give an ride guide idea of thts stupendous structure, which looks like the work of centuries; and its whole op pearauce has a character of 'sublimity and power which cannot fail to till the mind of t'he beholder with wonder, admiration, and awe. Its walls in some places are thirty feet thick, and the northest end is 250 high. The numerous pieces of artillery with which this fortress is furnished,. are so.heavy. that it could hardly be deemed practicable to con vey them by the steep and uneven road, which is the only passage to time summit of the mountain. " The lower battery is mounted with severity heavy 3-2-pound pieces of bronze, each piece tra versing with great facility to ins given anr a de; on is second breast-work are 'wooed about forty pieces of 24-pounds each, which are also of bronze, and arranged on the same principle as those below, with all their apparatus ready for use; to the third breast-work, which remains unfinished, are embra sures, and arrungemeuts for pieces much lighter than the others; and above that, at about 200 paces from the ground, barracks are constructed for the garrison. Iu short, the, whole plan is so well laid arid executed, as to retid . er it, as a mili tary position,. impregnable lo the forces of Europe : and for imprisonment and servitude, well worthy of the appellation of Ow Beside of " Under the cover of its guos vegetables may be cultivated to supply its garrison ; sod the large reservoirs that are constructed in many places in the exterior of the walls, are always kept filled. Many thousand barrels of flour are constantly kept in the vaults, in large French jars, air-tight, which, edited to the pulse, rice, and salted provisions, would hove been sufficient to maintuin the garrison for twenty-five years. " We visited the vaults, in which salt, wine, spirits, musket-balls, ice. were stored ; and also those of the Treasury, in which are still remaining the coffers which but a year before were cowded with gold sod silver, to the amount (as reported) of fifty !tuitions of dollars. "In the area of the walls are the ruins of the Palace of the citadel, a spacious building, which, in 1818, was destroyed with the commander and eight hundred of the garrison, by an explosion, oc casioned by the electric fluid continnitieating with loose cartridges.—[The conflagration, I was told, was arrested by 8 part of the palace falling over au adjacent motristain.J—From the part of the build- ing that remains, are suspended huge fragments of mason-work, which threaten destruction to all who papa under them. " It is the prevailing opinion, that from fifteen to twenty thousand people have perished iei the build ing of this place; many of whom were blown away by the strong winds that assail the top of the moon- tartar in the afternoon, while laying the sheets of copper and zinc with which the roof is covered. " Had Christophe lived, his inventive and active genius would, no doubt, have been employed in making ronslaut additions to this strung hold ; but all his fortifications could not ptetect him from the violence of his own hand, nor could all his wealth afford him a coffin, or all his vaults a tomb. In the southern wing of the citadel his body lire, where it was hastily thrown by without the rites of sepulture, and carelessly strewed with a little lime.

On the 44th, the house on shore was discovered to be on fire : it was got out without much siajuly but Captain Sabine's servant, in hits eagerness to save the dipping-needle, which was close to the stove, ran out with it, without waiting to put on his gloves, in consequence of which his hands were so benumbed, that' when they were plunged into cold water, the ►urftce of it was immediately frozen by the intense cold thus coimottilicated, and the tenor fellow was afterwards obliged to ►ub wit to the partial amputation of four Rogers on one hand, and three on the other, The months of - March and April seem to have passed tediously on,. in watching the state of the weather. The crew of the Griper became some what more sickly, in consequence of the extreme moisture, which it was found-impossible to exclude from their bed-places; and. Lieutenant Lirldon, iu particular, who had suffered , much front illness at different times during the voyage, became so aowell, that Captain Parry entertained serious app prehension. for his recovery. In May, Captain Parry laid out a small garden, planting it with; radishes, onions, mustard, and cress; but the ex. perimeut failed, though some common ship-pews, planted by two of the men, throve extremely well., The state of the sick list b ec oming m ore f avour :. able toward, the latter end of Mar, Captain Parry and Captain Sabiue, accompanied by ten other.„ . bfficers mid men, set off, on the Ist of June, to. make the tour of the island; though a more un promising subject foe the excursion of is party oP pleasure cannot well lie imagined. They took. tents and fuel with them, ao well as provisions : and carried their luggage in a small light cart, to which the sailors occasionally appended their blankets, by way of sails. They travelled by night, as well to have the benefit of any warmth the sun might give for their hours of rest, as to avoid the glare of its light upon the snow. The dwarf willow, sorrel, poppy, and saxifrage, were the vege table productions which they met with; and. it a place they called Baldwin Cove, which ap peared to be one of the pleasantest and most habit able spots-they bud seen in the Arctic Circle, Capt. Sabine found a ranonculus in full sower, literally wasting " its sweetness on the desert air." The animals they saw were mice, deer, a musk ox, n lair' of swallows, ducks, geese, plover, and ptarmigans, with some of 'which they occasionally varied their fare. Along the beach on the west wardythey found a point of land eighty feet above the sea. which they named Point Nias, after one of the officers of the patty, and had the patience to raise on it, a• a memo rial of their exertions, a monument of ice, of a conical form, twelve fret broad at the base, and as many in height. The enclosed in it, in a tin c)linder, an account of the party who had erected it, with a few silver and copper English coins ; amid Mr. Fisher, the assistatit-surgeon, took care to con struct it with a solidity which may make it last for years us a laud-mark, as it can be seen at seaml miles distance, either by sea or lands On a. point of land within 100cyards of the sea, the remains of six Esquimau* hut' were di.covered, the owners of which might probably he iii the habit of visiting the island in the months of July and August, when it should appear that they would meet with a plenti ful supply of game. After absence, the party returned to the ships. Summer now began to make itself visible. A great quantity of sorrel was daily gathered; hunt. nig-parties procured fresh animal food ; and what ' had perhaps more effect on the health and spirits of the men than any thing else could have protineed, on the 2--241 of June the ice was observed to be in motion. " On the 16th of July," says Captain Par►y, " the streams of water in the ravines were once more passable with great ease, and the snow had eotirely disappeared, except on the sides of those rarities, and in other hollows where it had formed. considerable drills; so that the appearance of the land was much the some now as when we first made the island in the hitter part of August the preceding year. The walks which our people were ettub:ed to take at this period, when the wea ther was really mild and pleasant, end to our feel ings quite us warm as the summer of any other cli mate, together %Oh the luxurious living afforded by our hoofing parties, and by the abundant supply of sorrel which was always at command, were the eneuns of completely eradicating any seeds of the scurvy which might have been lurk ing in the constitutions of the officers and men, who were now, i believe, ill as good health, and certainly in as good spirit., as when the expedition left England. Gratifying os this fact could not but be to me, it was impossible to contemplate without pain the probability, now too evident, that the shortness of the approaching season of opera tions would not admit of that degree of toreros in the prosecutioss of the main object of our enterprise, which might otherwise have been reasonably antici pated in setting out from our present advanced station with two shim iu such perfect condition, and with crews so zealous in the cause in which we were engaged." Oil the brut of A meust, 1920, the vessels weighed, siul 1..111 out of Winter Harbour, in which they had then during ten whole months, and a part of the other two, September and August. Could Captain Parry, or any of those with him, have foreseen, during their stay osi Melville Island, that all their waiting would only enable them to get a law leagues further westward, on the very skirts of the island, where they had already been detained for such a dream• length of time, how insupportably tedious would the interval have appeared ! Fortu nately, they did not contract the faculty of second sight ►n these northern latitudes; however, occa sionally, that of lung sight might seem to be Im parted to them ; they, therefore, once more set off on their inquiries, cheered by hope, and supported by the most pra•eworthy zeal, to acquit 'ffiemselves to the utmost of the duty required of them. They entered on their new discoveries on the anniversary of the day when they had commenced their former ones from the entrance of Sir James Lancaster's Sound ; but the bad sailing of the Griper was a great obstacle to that speedy advance. ment, which the shortness the navig a ti ng start; in those seas made most particularly desirable ; ate/ indeed, there can he but little doubt, that the thee Captious Parry lost in sinking for her at differvii,. periods, would have rambled tam to attain the Ink object of his itietiiry—if, in Lief, it be attaitiald.. at all in the direction in which it has ,hitherto be en sought. The sea to the westward - at first presenter a very flotteritae appearance, being' nicer clear of ice than it had been a nitstith later the preceding year, and presenting a title. navigable channel of two miles and a half to width, attach ems:tired Irons the niast-head to continue n>E .far as eyeamilit • reach, along shore to the westward.

Accordingly, Cher leaving beide council respect log the eligibility of 'spending another winter it these dreary regions, and receiving an unanimous. opinion as to the little chance, even at the expense• of that sacrifice,' Cod the risk of faßing. short oI fuel sod provisions, of being able tau start from a more advanced station at a future person, Cap taM Parry determined to proeeed to England , without further delay; runnier, back, along, the edge of the ice to the eastward. in order to look out he au opening- that might lead towards the Ameri can continent, and takitig with them the consolatory reflection that they had prom-tiled farther ill the Polar Sea, to the northward of that continent, that any preceding navigators bad done.

We regret that we have nut room to dwell on the ami able deportment of those intsoplaisticated childrett ofitsture, who-appeared to possess a degree of deli cacy aticl principle far beyond any thing that the same description of people can boast of in Nettle Greenland ; but all our remasitieg space must he devoted to Capt. Parry's remarks nit the probable existence and sceomplishnient of a North-west- Passage into the Pacific Ocean. Of the existence of the passage itself he entertains not a doubt ; but from the difficulties presented by the iiieveas iug breadth and thickness of the ice towards the westward, after passing theasah Barrow's Strait,. insomuch time it required tire weeks to traverse from the entrance of Sir James Lancaster's Sou•itt to the meridian of Winter Harbour,: and. only FIX days to sail back through the Caine distance. added to the shortness of the season, not exerrdiug seven weeks, in which the Polar Sea can be navigated its that part, he is inclined to think that an attempt to effect the North-west Passage might be made with a better chattier of success from Belatiug'a Strait than from this side of America.. Still lie acknowledges that there are circumstances which render this mode of proceeding altogether imprac ticable for British ships; foremost among which are the length of the voyage that must be performed before arriving at the point where the grand un dertaking is to be commenced—the impossibility of taking out provisions and fuel in sufficient quan tity to ensure the confidence necessary fur air eters prise, of which the nature must be so precarious and uncertain—and the severe trial to which the health of the crews would be subjected by goieg at once from the beat of the Torrid Zone into the intense cold of a lime winter, upon the northern shores of America. The middle costive which he recommends. between this choice of evils is, at once to attempt to penetrate from the eastern coast of America along its northern shore. - " The question," says he, " which naturally arises, in the next place, relates to the most likely means ofgetting to the coast of America, so as to snit along its shores. It would, in this respect, he de ratable to find an outlet from the Atlantic into the Polar Sea, as nearly as possible in the ;sandhi of latitude in which the northern coast of Amerit.:l may be supposed to lie; as, however, we do not know of any such outlet from Baffin's- Bay, about the parallels of 69. to 70. the attempt is, perhaps. to he made with heifer clionce of fleeces' iu a stilt lower latitude, especially as there is a considerable portion of coast that rutty reasonably be supposed le otter the desired communication, which yet re tnains unexplored. Comberlaed Strait, the pas sage called Sir Thomas Rowe'a Welcome, lye... between Southampton Teland and Ow coast et. America, and !lay, appear to be the point, most worthy of atttittion; and, considerate the state of uncertainty iu which the attempts of for mer navigators leave left us, with regard to the es teut amid communication of these openings, one cannot bid entertain a reasonable hope, that our. or perhaps each of them, may afford • practicable passage into the Paler Ser."
