A Letter from Madrid, of the 26th ult. in the Morita/poi the gth inst. state, that an English Ship, of So guns, anchored on the gth between Culleyra and Yates, when the Corregtdor of Vivero, sus. MSting thei r i ntent i on to l an d , mustered it body of ilitary and Volunteers, and repairing to the shore, observed the Boats of this Ship attempting to board a Merchant Vessel, of 260 'tottsi at an chnr in the Bay. • They immediately fired -on them, iti4 kilted the First Lieutenant and several men the English returned the fir.., and then made off, without effeeling 'their purptsre ; but having to weather the point of Vitedo, the 'hoops ran thither, and poured on them such a vigorous fire, that half the Crews were either killed or wounded. A number of Dutch Seamen have been sent to Dunkirk, to expedite the equipment of the flotilla, and to serve on board it. The Dey'of Algiers has issued order, to seize all 'Veasels laden with corn, whatever may he the ft under which they sail. An Austrian Vessel was latetq , brought in, but by dint of remonstrance obi , tabled permission to prosecute her voyage; in a short time; however, the Dey experiencing regret at his lenity, sent two armed Vessels to retake . her, but after a tong chase she etreeted her escape. in addition to a fine new Frigate, and two Brigs, lately launched at Genoa, a Ship of 7+ guns will lie ready for launching in a few weeks, when another of the same force Wilt be immediately' laid down.

The town was completely burned ; a!l the guns, a large iron chest of dollars, and some tittetittopetty, were carried off by the natives.

To Tat Ebittiß SUN. SIR, I some time lin ce , troubled y ou with tenet. on Y the suhjett of the our/0 Ikci.c tut (as he is called), in consequence of repeated attacks having been made upon him in one or two of the Public Prints. I am induced again to take tip my pen after reading a Letter in your Paper of Saturday last, si gne d H. H. From th e exordium of your Correspondents' philippic, I expeeted he would have kirntereti into a derailed 'critique of Master BaTTv's-peiforiban'ee, and that he would, in the Course of it, have point. ed out what he considered to be defeels in that per. formance. In this eicpeCiation, however, I was much disappointed ; as, instead of making any cri tical observations upon the acting of Master BETTY; H. H. contents himself with a sort of general de clamation against a Buy of thirteen being suffered to play Hamill, which chataCter he'airentioasly con. tends (for that is the ohjeet of his Let ter) it is ut terly impossible for a Boy to perform with any pro. priety ur effect. Upon this point I cannot subscribe to the tea. soiling advanced by your Correspondent H. H. It appears to me, 'on the contrary, that if it proves any thing it proves too. much, because it goes to establish, that no person .can with propriety or ef feet perform a character unless he is about the age which that charaeler is supposed to have attained. A datrine which, if established, must for ever close the doors of our Theatres, and make a yawn. ing chasin in pnblit amusement ; for where are aged parsonages to be found who can do Theatric justice to the varied chataeters of old men,' old maids, :and antiquated dowagers, with which our plays of' all descriptions abound. Incongruities between -the age of the odor and the supposed age ',of the charaCter which he re. presents, must always exist in theatrical per. forinancee, 'not only' where the latter exceed, the former, but pt.' hapi still inure frequently where. youthful charafters are allotted to, those who have passed the meridian. of life, It may be 544 that to ail this there is a limit,. and that Boys (though it remains for your Cortes. ' porstletit to point , our when the age of Btyhood ceases) ought never to be suffered to perform the . higher charaders of the Drama. But, Sir, when a Boy appears upon the Stage, and displays many ;rt_ tributes of theatric excellence, I do not stop to in.' vestigate any principle of this nature-4 only make &lie of my eyes and eats. Ido nor atop to inquiry whether a Boy of thirteen ran perform lifirdit, nr any other charq.ter„--4 only observe and hear, : for the purpoqe of ascertaining whether he dart perform it with spirit, accuracy, and discrimination, ' With: this view I have contemplated the Young korcint, (it so he must be called) in his perlarmance lit the characters which he has p}syed in the Metropolis, and have been much pleased with those nuinerotts beauties which he has displayed in his acting. I arts aware that in your excellent and well.iegnlated Paper there'is . no chance fur the, insertion of thie'' Letter if it is protraaed to any great length, and .. therefore I' atii reltniantlreorsinelleilio forbear cts tering into a critique of Master Bei—We perfor. mance , oI Ilaudet : I must content mysel f with pointing ont his scene with his father's apparition, the Closet Scene, and the Dying Scene, in which I wilt venture to say, I shall not be contradicted by ninety.nine hundredths of those who witnessed Its perfortnnee, when I observe, that he displayed a :spirit and energy, a propriety and a grace, that would have insured to the ablest and most cxpe. ricnced :Idiots the tumultuous applause of a distil. minor jog audience, • Far be it from my intention at the same time to set up MUM(' Berry as a 'phenomenon, which is only to be gazed at and admired.---I-le has been ,sehaoled in the Drama from early infancy, and , with an extraordinary quickness and promptitudeof genius, he has.btiZed upon some prominent points, in the management of which he is unrivalled.-- There are, however, &kis in his acting which only the cultivation of his mind and a judicious knowledge of the world can Cures . and let it never be forgotten by those who have the -care of hint, that he cannot maintain, as he advances in years, that.pc-eminence which has already been awarded to him unless Lila mind is properly cultivated.

Nothing particular occurred in the Ballet. The PR urea , and a large astern. Wage' of the higher circles, were present. BETTY made his cc. COM) 'appearance On Saturday night, at Drury lane Theatre, in the character of liaPnlet. We obselved no difference in his manner of performing this difli. cult charatier. We readily subscribe to his extra. orchiary talents as a boy ; bur we think he fell much below the degree of dierit neces«ary for such a le. presentation of the part as the public erught to ex. pet when one of the best, if not the very best, of SetAtcrsmt.i's. eharaciers is in question. There Was spirit and emotion enough to satisfy every reasonable critic, when so young a Perft.rtner is the tilled of attention. l'hey who perceived in. telletiiud deduction, the acumen which the part demands, and all its nicer shades and com i .licated muveiderits, possess more discernment than we pro. some to boast. He knelt again to the spirit in his ftest address to it, but he appeared without his cloak in the cbureh.yard, and this was the only alteration we noticed.

Mr. FONBLANQUE, as Counsel for the Colonel, stated the case : the objed of the application was to induce his Lordship to re. vise an Order made in the year i3o+, lay which a man of the name of tsripbrown, a tenaht.of Colonel Thornton, and who had been dispossessed of his farm,. was restored to the occupation 'of it until the question of right should ,be settled. . The condition upon which he had been so restored was, that he should not attempt to exercise any ad of ownership with retard to the farm, but should merely use k for the purpose of husbandry. This condition he ha violated, and hid suffered the 'estate to became entire!) , dilapidated, and the fields totally %rated. It was therefore wished that his Lordship would remove him, and appoint some person to minage the brio who would take" proper care of it. Sir THOMAS 'TV R Fu r WAS heard on the sarrt.e 'side, and Mr. Row L LY i n f avour of, Nutbrown. Col. Thornton again requested leave to address his Lordship on his own behalf; and having, with some humour, described the misfortune s o f hi s es . lace, he begged his Lordship to inierier e , in order to prevent its entire destruttion. The Lott 0 CHANCELLOR reviewed the whole of the case, and 'regietted the circurtistances which had led to this litigation, Itwas,ntitlier in his, power, nor was it his inclination, , to decide 'between ; the ,parties .with reference. to any thing-"that had been swans.
