FOR THE SUN. Mit. EDITOR—The Managers of the Patent Theatres, although very ready to adopt all the meretricious melo-dramas of the French stage, rarely think it worth while to offer to the British Public any Foreign productions of real merit and moral interest. The FATE OF CALAS, a piece an nounced-for performance at a Minor Theatre,,and which, as the play-bill 'states, has attracted all Paris, was, 1 am told, strongly recommended to the Managers of both Patent Theatres, as a melo drama of much stage effect, and possessing a deeper interest from real facts, than many of our most admired plays, in which the events are the highly imagined pictures of the authors. The re ception of this piece at the Minor Theatre, if the Manager has only done common justice to the original, although 1 and inclined to believe that _with his talents he must have improved rather Chan_ injured it-its the translation, will convince the Managers of the large Theatres, that the public taste is not yet so vitiated as to be pleased with shewy melodramas, whose success rests upon the scene-painter or the musician, to the exclusion of historical facts, calculated to impress a salutary lesson upon the spectator. - As the story of CALAS is somewhat altered in the piece of that name, which has been played I in Paris during the last three or four -months to crowded audiences, whose tears proved their ab horrence of the religious bigotry which distin guished part of the last century, antitvhich is still evident in some of the highest personages of the -French nation, and in almost the whole of the Roman Catholic Clergy, the public may not be displeased with an abstract of it, and its applica tion may be made very forcible, if we associate the clamours'for Catholic Emancipation with 'the' . unrelenting persecution of Ronian Catholic tenets, which arc as binding upon the holders of them. in the present day, as they were upon the cruel judges of the unfortunate merchant, JEAN CALAS. JOHN CALAS was a respectable merchant of the of 'Minimise, where he had married arr En glish woman of French, extraction, . and related to the'first Nobility ot Languedoc. In 1761 . the fa 7 iii[y' of Calas, his wife, and two 'sons, all Protestants. Lewis, another son, who had become a Roman Catholic by the instigation of a female servant, was settled Where, cin'a liberal animity allowed by his excel.: l en t fattier, and the servant herself had been linerallyprovided for. Mark Anthony, the eldest son, had been bred to the law, bat as his-ente— ing upon that profession depended upon the per formance ot certain acts which, as ruProtestant, he could not submit to, he became morose and discontented, and fregoently rushed into, dis to..the grief of his parents, who threat ened and remonstrated with him to little purpose. On the 13th pf October, 1761, M. La Vaisse, a young Counsellor of Boordeaux, visired the and sot 'dawn..with them to supper. When they came to the desert,.An! bony left the table,. and went into the kitchen, - as he used to rjo The maid asked him if he was cold ? He answered, Quite the contrary, I burn ;' and then left her. In the . mean time,.Calas, with La Vaisse and the rest of - the family, retired to another room, where they sat itS conversation until ten o'clock, when La Vaisse retired to bed, Peter Colas, the second son, accompanying him with a light to his chambor. Oti the ground floor in which Peter and La Vaisse were to sleep, was a warehouse. When they ,came down stairs a. .they found Anthony hang ing hi hia'shi'et from bar, which he had affixed across the folding doors for the purpose. On this horrid discovery they shrieked out, and the -cry brought down old Calas, who rushed forward, anti taking the body in his arms, the bar gave way, and they both went to the ground together. The distracted fattier hung over tl a body of his son, whilst the two youths stood by stupid with amazement and horror. The mother, alarmed by the cries of her husband, ran towards the ware house; but La Vaisse prudently stopped her, and prevented her coming at .the time to a knowledge 'Of the fatal occurrence. Peter had sent. for a Surgeon, who came instantly, and upon taking off the neckcloth saw the mark of the cord, _and pronounced the death of Anthony to have been caused by strangulation. This particular had not been told, for the poor old man, when Peter was going for the Su'rgeon, cried ont, '' save, at least, the honour of my family : do not let 'it be known that your brother has destroyed himself." By this time, a considerable crowd was collect ed in the streets, and some who had heard the cries and exclamations of the family, and also, that the Surgeon had prowounced Anthony to have been strangled, took it into their heads that the young reran was about to turn Catholic, and was murdered by his father for that reason. Some said, that Anthony was to have abjured the next day, and that. Protestants were bound by their religion to strangle or cut the throats of their children, ilthey expressed a &sire to become Ca=. tholics. La Vaisse; who was known to_be a Pro testant, was said to have been deputed by an as sembly of the Protestants, to act as-executioner , on this occasion. The poor fatlier, who was still hanging over the body of his son, was advised to send for the officers of justice_ to project bitn from the mob, who threatened to tear him to pieces fur having murdered Anthony. he‘Cspitonl, or Chief gistrate of Th o ul °us e, was already set out with 40 soldiers, on the alarm of the murder which had reached him, and entering the house, took vely member of the family, svith La Vaisse and the Fervant into custody ; a physician and rwo sur ;;eons then • examined the body for tie purpose of discovering marks of 'violence, lot fooml none, except the impression of the ligature on the neck —the hair of the dectioed was curled itt its usual manner, and not at all disordered ; his clothes were regularly folded up, and laid upon the coun ter, and his shirt VMS 'neither torn nor unbut-;, toned. Notwithstanding these appearances, the Capi tool gave into the opinion of the mob, and threw all the accused Ponies into dithgeons. - As no proof could be adduced, the Ciapifoul had recourse to a monitory—in - which the crime was taken for granted..—This monitory recited, that La Vaisse was the executioner in. ordinary Of the Protes tants, when any of tlkelr, childre,l were to be hanged for changing their religion; and that Anthony died a Raman Catholic. The funeral of young Calas was performed with extraordinary pomp, all the Priesthood and Ma gistrates attendinK, and the trial of the father was commenced immediately afterwards. The Itangntan, who had been shewn the place where Anthony hung, swore that it .was ble for him'ro bare committed the crime himself ; another witness swore that he had peeped through the key-hole of the door, and saw men running to and fro and a 014;4 swore that his wile had told him. that a woman named Mandrill had heard the cries of Marc Anthony at the further end of the city. Upon this evidence, the ma jority of the rarliament decided upon the guilt of the accused parties, and seven Judges condemned Calas, who was 68 years old, to the wheel and torture, and then to he immediately executed. Galas bore the torture with great constancy, and as the flames gathered round his body, his last prayer was for his persectrors. Donat Calas, another sou, 15 years old, was at Nismes when he heard of his father's death, and was advised to fly to Switzerland, where Mr. de Voltaire received him. The polinlar outcry against this family wp such,'lhat every body expected to see the child ren of Calag - broken upon, the wheel, :qicl the brother but at. Even the Attorney-General had declared that this would he the case in con sequence of the poor defence that they had made against the, in his Opinion, well founded charge of murder. Another•hrrather, who -was only banished, soon after !brew himself into the arms of Voltaire ; this great Poet once convinced of the innocence of the family, devoted his purse, his time, his influence, and tips credit, to have the proceedings revised by the Council. This revision occupied more than three years, and it, was not till the 9111 of March; 1765, that the mother and other ac e,ised Fries were released from prison. It is only jostice to the King of France, to state, that be publicly recognized the innocence of Cale!, and settled a considerable sum of money upon the 'family. G. M. ORATOR HUNT. (From the Yorkshire Gazette, April.l.) We have been favoured by a Correspondent with the following particulars of HENRY HUNT, " Henry Hunt, the celebrated Orator, is :a na tive of North Wilts. His father was a farmer of some opulence ; and his son Henry, in the'early part of his lite, engaged in agricultural pursuits, and generally attended the torn-market at, D.e. vizes, where he used to Preside as Chair man at the farmer's table. His arobitiOn . Soon led hint' . to aspire to a cOrnmission in the Wiltshire Militia, which he obtained ; - and his first military achievement, - as reported, was a challenge to his Colonel. This instance of insubordination was checked by the Colonel's appeal to a Court of Law, which afforded Henry an opportunity (said to he the first) of diSplaying kis oratorical talents in his defence. He married Miss Ildcomb, daughter of the Landlord of the Bear Inn, at Devizes, whom, ere long, lie deserted and he now cohabits with a married lady. His restless spirit also displayed itself in annoying his neigh bours and trespassing on their, Jands in pursuit of game. Notices were served on him to desist from such a practice. These notices he disregarded and consequently actions were brought against him to recover damages, as a wilful trespasser, which lie personally defended. And to this circumstance he owes that consummate assurance, and that flow of elocution, though not of reasoning, which he appears to:be master of. At one time be set up a common brewery in Bristol, professing to brew genuine Beer, from malt and hops only, as it was. supposed brat the ,hrewers in that city made use of deleterious ingredients, in addition to malt and hops. However, it soon appeared, that Hunt's Beer .neither suited the palate nor. lin proved the constitution of the B r i s toll a o l ; and this scheme . tailing, as he could not improve the cons:itution of his custotners, be turned his thoughts towards improving the constitution of his country. With that view, he offered self a candidate for the representation of the City of Bristol, and had recourse to every low ar tifice that lie could IrOssildy devise to allure' the mobility to his in:crest. This scheme also proved unsuccessful. lie then became a violent Demo crat, and, at every County Meeting, he never failed to attempt to gain attention to his democra tied! harangues. But, to the honour of Wilts, he .always met with such reception as his merit, and he prioeiiiles he was desirous of inculcating, de served. These various disappointments and buffs are supposed to induce him to take so active ft part in the measures, which are so justly repro bated by every well-wisher to the excellent Con stitution of this Country, and the happiness of his tellow•creatures. The measures he has had re eoorse to are tOo well isuoxn to require e2plana- tiaa,"
