A new Play, from the elegant pen of Mrs. INCH -141 n, wis performed at this Theatre on Saturday night. It is entitled To Alai -mbar not to illarry, from a strong aversion against matrimony, which con sthntes the leading trail in the hero of the piece, and produces the whole interest of the plot. The charaacre, which are few in number, but all essential, were thus represented : Danll •rry Mr. Muoden. St, Owyn Mortland Mr. Kernble. Mr Milo:wear Mr Farley. Mr. Lareitsforth Mr. Owlte. Amos Mr. Brunton. Lady tioss.l Courtly Mrs. Glover. • Mrs. Sarah Morthord Davenport. Hester. Miss Shottleworth. The opening scene presents Sir Osven Mordand in his study, and his sister, Sarah Mortlassel, endeavour ing to reconcile him to a visit from Rester Arndal a he:unit - ill young lady, whom she had invited to his house. She has scarcely succeeded in this pur pose, when Mr. Willowear arrives, and claims Hurter as his affianced wife. This produces an interview between her and Sir Omen Mortkod, who learns that she fled his house to avoid an union can trary to her inclination. A mutual passion is the result of the interview, and Sir Ontyn is in the a& of declaring his love, when she is summon ed suddenly away to the house of her guardian, Mr. Ashgrove. Sir ()noun insists upon attending her on the road, and in the coots. of the jiitirney, he is assailed by an assassin and wounded. In this situa tion, he is met by Mr. Lavens forth, who binds up his wounds, and leads him to his cottage. This alt of humanity is scarcely performai, when Amos, the black servant of Mr. LIVCIIV:Irih, arrives, and avows himself the assassin, who wounded the stranger, whom he declares to be Sir Oa won Morli u,d, the deadly foe of his master, who had returned to that neighbau:hood, after a long banishment. for the solepurpose of taking away the life of Sir Oiwyn. Lavenvorib it intoxicated with joy at this opportunity of gratifying his revenge, and is just going to et 'cute his guilty pit. p se, when his a•ws is arrested by the reflection, that his enemy is " wouaded and iindet h,, rceil." Heater now ap pears, and ;n h T person Mr. Looen!rrtk recngnises his only daughter. She 'dates to her fatter the kinds.' s and pr aeCtion which she had received item Sir Orion, and a recenciliation ensues, w:,ich leads to her union the Baronet. There iaanunder-plot, in which Lisa.,, Su.,out Courtly, a modern belle, is intro duced to place Sir Quinn's rutin,' ' foible in a striking point of view, by the rains which she takes, aided by the snl;citation of his uncle, !Aril Da Jerry, to win his affeaions, and which ends in lie. marriage with Mr. Wsiiowrar, the rejefted lover of Rester. Thew are the principal materials of this piece, un aided by variety of incident, and that complexity of plot, which give life and bustle to the scene, and ale eur.siderei, by roost modern authors, ne cessary to staiking effe.t, and the prevailing taste of the town. Irdoes not affeil to he a pilture of modern life and manners, but bears more resem blance to a tale farm a romance or a novel. Thus divested of adventitious ornament, the interest of the piece exclitsively arises from the itnaffeard yet suffi ciently mysterious manner in viaiCii the story is tin folded, the natural flow of the dialogues and the ' truth and simplicity of the sentiment. More thin once in the progress of the piece we are ready to con deinn it for imnorality, as inculcating revenge, and inveighing against a married life; but, the Jeaeaesiret agreeably iindeceives us, and we find the objea ofi the author was only to veil virtue under a mo mentary clam!, that she might et:induce them with more streng th and brillianey. however, it -possesses 4 fair ci Tinto pit ri- y of sentiment, to chaste and natural language, to soitml morality, to a plot judiciously =waged, and situations naturally prn :laced, it cannot boast many passages of forceful interest, few that are pathetic, and still fewer that are either ludicrous or lively. The charaCter of Healer is A manthit, in 1 i!te Child or Nittnre ; or, per haps, it reseirailes more nearly Amelia Wthlenixim, in lever ' s VO divested of her spirit and vivacity; and a i:oiernii gloom, appraaching to tragic horror, is diffused over gip oAtive Vortland, and Mr. !arrow /od*, tile two princiaalchareaers in the piece. Mr. Kiatat.e's personification of the farmer was ill cal culated to reduce this deficiency. He paused, and palmed; to such excess, as to give to the piece more the appearance of a pantomime than a play He made an entire scene, and that not a short one, of a change from one chair to another, with only the aid of shrugs and frowns, and the menu it exercise ietif his pocket-handkerchief. ' Vie are wrong, - how ever, in saying that tbis studild solemnity added ' to the natured gloominess of the chalaftcr, formany Of most dismal 'evointions were executed in stile that excited as much laughter as the most sparkling wit. We are -sony. tei see !kir. Kit oat c abandon the tragic field, on which he has acquired isahrany laurels, to wan the comic muse, who nova. deigned to smile aeon him, even in Isis youthfill transports. Sa:ely. the Toone Rowse, caaier have frightened him from his favourite IC fpontene? Some time must elapse before that wondertul.boy can excel hint in Rickard, lians?er, or Skylock. Mr. Cook's chanaer is of small compass, but well adapted to his manner. Amor, the black servant, although a sketch, was made interesting and striking, by Mr. RitIINTOPI ; and the • Lord Danorrry of Mr. Meta l:oßM was as efficient, as one of the old men, con sidered essential in all the modern comedies, could possibly be. The only change in the cast of the pl.ty,which might be an improvement, would be the substitution of Mr. Lewis, for Mr. FABLIY. in Frillowear; but, any extraordinary merit in. this charadler would, no doubt, operate ;o the dis advantage set the hero of the Play. Next to the piece, the novelty of the night was Miss SIIUTTL awo ter If, in the charaaer of Hester.— The flattering promise which this young lady gave at the lirandenburgh Theatricals, last sea son, encouraged her, we understand, to ven ture upon the public stage. Her friends have no reason to alter their opinion of her talents. She pos sesses an elegant person and pleasing countenance. Mrs GLuvea played in the niece, and delivered the Epilogue with spirit and effea, although destitute of point and novelty. The Piece was heard throughout with uniform approbation, and announced for future repreeenta -603, amidst loud plaudits, by Mr. Kausaa. • CALCUTTA GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY Fort William, June 2t , 1804 On the retreat of Jeswunt Rao Holkar from Ilindnstan, on the 23d of April, his Excellency the Commander in Chief detached two parties cf irre gular horse, under the command of Captain Gard:. ner, an officer in tine service of die RAJA el „fey porn, pere, ant of Lieuten a nt Lucan, of Has Majesty's 74th regiment, to watch the motions of Holkar Captain Gardiner reached a place called Balloo Khery, at nine o'clock in the morning of the Mtth of May, and had scarcely dismounted his party, when he received intelligence, that a Native Chief tain, in the interest of Jeswunt Rao Holkar, named Tantia, was encamped with three battalions of in fantry, eleven giiiis, two hundred istiwatteen and 3000 horse, at the distance of about tire mile. from Captain Gardiner's position. Captain G irdiner immediately addre.sed a letter to Lieutenant Lucan, who occupied a position about two miles iii his rear, apprising him of the citcum stance, and requesting Lieutenant Lucan's assisrmce in attacking Tantia's party. Li utenant Levan soon joined Captain Gardiner, and the Geo divisions lost no time in advancing towards the enemy. It appeared, however, fro al intelligence commu nicated by the inhabitants, that Tantia's battalions had been apprised of the near approach of Captain Gardiner and Lieutenant Imam, and were retre it ing to occupy a position in a difficult pass, six miles distant from Cnternh, which they reached about one o'clock, p. 'a. on thennth of May ; Tantia's bana lities immediately took post with tits it rear to the pass, having a rising ground on their right, and their front and flanks completely encompassed by deep ravines, only passable by a road sufficiently broad to admit of the passage of a common cart, and defended by three pies. As soon as the divisions under Captain Gardiner and Lieutenant Lucan came within reach of their ar tillery, ramie's battalion opened their guns. Capt. .;ardiner and Lieutenant !mean formed th.iir divi sions into throe separate bodies. rie left was corn. mended by Lieutenant Lucan; the centre was under the orders of a Native Chief, named. Fyze ['anti!, Khan, and the right consisted of the detachment under Captain Gardiner's immediate command, and was destined to approach Tantia's patty as near as paisible, under cover of the ravines, as the nature of the ground prevented the possibility of a charge on the enemy ; a fourth party, under the command of Bewary Choudey, was detached by a circuitous Tome, to take possesSion of a hill in the rear of the right flank of Tantian party, which entirely cut off from Tantia's battalions the means of retreat. These movements, from the nature of the ground (inter seCted in every dire Lion by deep ravines and nul labs), occupied a considerable time, dating which a party of the cavalry of the right and left of Captain Gardiner's and Lieutenant Ltema's divisions, was dismounted, and, under coin: vat the ravines, ad vanced to within pistol shot of tier enemy's line ; but, from the steepness of the banks, it was impas sible to derive any material advantage from this movement, except that of intimidating the enemy. A few of the cavalry belonging to Captain Gardiner and Lieutenant Lucan att Ara two Companies of the enemy's infantry, stationed ia a nullah, which was abandoned without resi.tance. • At five p. et. the guns attached to Lieut. Lu can's diyilinn arrived, after a march of 35 miles. Pie N ative Chieftain, commanding Tantla's bat talions, demanded a parley, and agreed to rotten der his party, on condition of being escorted in safe ty to the camp of Bappno Sandia, and of never serving against the British Government. The terms having been acceded to by Captain Gardiner, the battalions (surrounded by Cept. Gainlinens, and liitut. Lucas's cavalry) immediately commenced their march to Balton Kherry. 'The force of the battalions, including 200 Me watties, amounted to Minn effenive men. One of the guns carries a ball of about 15 y o u weight ; two of the guns arc fi meanders, and the rest of the ordnance are guns of a small calibre. Tantia him self retreated with his ravalre on the first appear mice of the division under Capt. Gardiner, and Lieut. Lucan. . F.xtrall of a Letter from Bombay, dated 4th Aug. 1804 —" The intelligence received by the arrival of the Antelepe, from the Red -ea, represents that part of Arabia lying on its borders, to be still in a state of the most unexampled confesian, and in a si. edian much worse than ever rumour had before „described it. It appears, that the Wahahees are prosecutinn a very successful career; that Judda and Mecca were completely blockaded by land, and all ' corhmutication with Medina effedualle cut off. The latter city, it was expelled, would be under the necessity of capitulating immediately on the surren der to the Winhabees of the sea port of Yumboo, to the northward of Judda ; an event which was said to have taken place before the accounts came away. The Sheriffe of Mecca, and the Bacha of the Git Ann S int:mown had purposely come from Mecca to Juddah, and at considerable risk. the objent of their journey was to solicit the aid of one of His BILIT•SNIC MAJESTY'S ships, which they heard was lying there, and generally to apply for the fostering protection of the English, as friends and allies to the Poet E." The General Officers and others, who fought in Flanders during last war, have established a club, called " The Flanders Club ;" they meet monthly ; and, on Saturday, they dined together at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand ; when His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK did the club the honour of presiding in the chair.
