We understand there is a hope of saving the vessel and cargo. Extract of a Letter from Elsineur Dec. 13-: -" The day before ye s t er d a y th e wind having veer ed to the eastward, the - convoys and merchant ships got all under weigh, but the greater partput back on account of the wind changing to the west. The Pearl Danish frigate was proceeding to her place of destination at St. Croix, and was to have taken the new Governor on board in England, but it is said that, for want of proper attention to the'Scaw lights, she has been totally lost on the reef. The. same misfortune has be fallen the llsingfors, from Petersburgh to Lon don, with hemp and tallow, and serious com plaints have • been made of neglect in respect to the ,lights." Two garrison companies have been formed at Chelsea from the reduced veterans ; it is said for the purpose of furnishing servants to Officers on the Staff of the Army. The. Gentleman we mentioned o n Saturday last as having been discovered laying Insensible in the road, near Clifton, proves to be .Colonel PURPOY, who it seems ‘s as just arrived from Ireland ; lie is now at MANGEoist's Hotel, but is still unable to give • the , least ac c ount of what has befallen him ; his servant has been examined under a suppos.ition that he might have been the robber, but •lie clearly proved on alibi ; the only property he had about him when discovered, was 3s. 6d. in his waistcoat pocket. A publican in Little Drury-lane has at this time a .fine - dog rain irkable for close attachment to a duck, which runs in his yard. However .strange it may appear, the. dog and duck are generally seen together on the most friendly terms. The duck flies with ferry at any person who attempts to strike the dog,• which, iu turn, protecti the little biped twirl all injury. WiIITBREAD AND MR. KEAN. For the tlistinct manner in which, according to the request of the Parties 'concerned, this Journal explained the nature of the disagreement between. M r . Wii/TBKEAD and Mr. KEAN, we certainly expected their acknowledgements : but theatrical gratitude is, unfortunately, of rare occurrence, and, instead 'of thanks, we find ourselves repaid by a column of unjust insinuations, it meant to apply to Os, which they have caused to be insert ed in the Morning Chronicle. Against these, though the dispute is- scarcely worth it, we desire' to defend Lig SUN. The Writer of the letter in question sets out very illogically. I-le accuses the Paragraph writers who have made any observation on the subject of this difference, of having ren dered ." a private concern between in:livid:1:11s" " public one :" and yet in his next sentence he tells us, that " interest -in the affair he- has none, any farther than what every one who witnesses the untemitted exertions of Mr. KEAN -to entertain and gratify the and the.wou derful effect prodUced by his extraordinary talents, must feel in every matter in which he is implicated; and few are they who will not come under this description."— Why then does he insist upon these " paragraph writers" belonging to this scanty number, who are to take' no interest in Mr. KEAN : Mr. KEAN, WilDlll he. describes as SO peculiarly and universally a public character, in whose success almoSt every person is impli cated, and in the same breath condemns the public notice of an affair Which might have drive:, him front the Stage, as draggiug a private transaction to light. But had the business been thus private, it could not have found its way into the Newspaper S—and especially into a Paper which neither seeks to know or disclose such squabbles. If the parties iu these disputes become irritated, if they make a commoa talk - of their grievances, and if they have indiscreet friends, who, through the medium of the Press, desire to enlist the Public on their side, we must say, that it would be more'fair to all, were those who are the real disputants to settle it with one another, and not attempt to make it appear as if any person connected with any Newspaper had interfered - as a principal in a quarrel with which they had nothing to do. Now we are ready to confess that the original par#u sent, to THE SUN was an exaggerated misrepresentation ; but it evidently did not come, from a stranger to the contention, nor from a Newspaper Writer at all, nor from a Paragraph tVriter, who had had no access to Mr. WHIT BREAD'S Letter to Mr. REAN. This' person has - thrown a colour over the word' "Obscurity," which it by no anemia possesses in that Letter, and has converted that ii.nto a taunt which was uttered in friendly though adm on it or y soltci tude—No man of Common sense would think of hurting Mr. KEAN by an allusion to circumstances so recent and well known that the mention of them could only mark the stupid malice of the insultor, without wounding the feelings of the insulted—for Mr. KEAN, after all, is but the Buo- NAPARTE of mimic life. Far less would Jlr. WHIT- Aftd - Sts (a man of discretion and of an informed understaiiding), whose worldly interests, as it is well stated in the Chronicle; are so much involved iu the prosperity 'of Mr.' KEAN, the prop of his House ; far less would he, like a frantic Sam Son, pull down the pillars on which the edifiCe Stands, and involve himself and Theatre in such a mass of rain that the wreck of the Philistines could not be compared with it. Mr. IVHITBREAD, as alarge Proprietor of Drury lane, independent of the nat wral feeling arising out of the nature of his connexion with M r. KEAN, must take a warm interest in the success of that Performer—and such is the feeling which he ma nifests iu the letter about which so much has been said. The. account given of Mr. KEAN'S 'country Ex hibitions, and of the imperious duty which com pelled Mr. Wu ITBR EAD'S written representation, are, we believe, justly described in the Morning Paper—how Mr. KEAN received this admonition, we are not prepared to say—the Writer in 'the 'Chronicle asserts, " with proper manly feelings, and we shall not dispute his authority, though we cannot credit his subsequent illustration of it. We are unwilling to prolong this discussion THE SUN' explained what•had been inserted in it by other persons than those connected with it; and we wish the writer above-mentioned to ob serve, that it • " recanted" nothing. We reply to his letter in the spirit of peace, which he evokes, and we heartily concur in the sentiment with which it concludes. We• take this opportunity, too, of assuring him, and all the friends of Drury lane, and of Mr. KEAN, that this Paper is as kind ly disposed towards them as any in London ; and though we cannot, as we think, in justice, fool the most outrageous admirers of that Actor to the top of their bent, we ever have been, and are still, desirous of fostering his merit, and were on his first appearance among those who did the_most to bring him forward with the Public. *** Having dismissed the letter, we must make one remark on the paragraph appended to it with three asterisks, which we.trust Caine from another pen, as there is so very little of the professed spirit of peace in it. The• quotation from Mr. WHIT BREAD'S letter is, as we have already said, erro neous, and so is the latter part of the paragraph in THE SUN of the 14th ; but it will be well for men, before they give authority feu• the bold epi thet of false, to recollect themselves, and be as sured that their own representations to their own friends, while influenced by resentment, did not lead to the error which they thus grossly charac terize.

"‘DRIJItY-DANE.—TiIe Tragvay of George Barn . well, which is usually, and properly brought for ward at this time of the year, win rclY t o last night- at this Theatre, and was followed by a. new Pantomime, intitled The Valby of Diamonds; or, Harlequin Sindbad.' If it would be absurd at - all times to enter into a fartnal critique if Pantomime, it would be still more sai to de tail the plot of one that is founded Ilya ps as fan iliac to petlhie 00l mast notorious works ; is f rfice s hil t . a .st :l;l o t a ; ln c eoi l: : ::: ssg s h s t i ll t i :i l fiil l lceiel a in s : htle:teal..lvitt. amphitheatre ley of I)iamortds, which passableirtt to an human foot, .aod stucldeti with the • richese gems of the earth. A Roeit. in ima • ginal • • ) bird), whose enormous-- wings ibversha'dow the Stage, drops' Sindbad (Mr. LIARTLAND) into this Valley, where Lie seems doomed to starve ; when Perceiving eagles that carried off diamonds to strew their nests, he selects the most precious, - which he. ties in his turban, and fastens round his body,. taking care to expose their brilliancy. Itf a short time he is carried away as a mass of gems, and transported to an eagle's nest, where Ite.is found-.by Ali- Avaricus • (Mr. Rafts:Es), and his slaves,, who watched the return of the eagles, and who, after having robbed hint, throw hint back into a different part of the valley, where lie meets -with the Fairy of the place (Miss POOLE), who- takes his part, changes him into Harlequin, Ali Avaricus into Pantaloon, his 'daughter (Miss VALLANCEY) into Columbine, and' out of is chest produces the Clown (Mr. Kritay). Harlequin then turns a light-house into a ship, and embarks with Columbine for England, pursued by Pantaloon and the Clown in a sinking boat. On " a sudden the scene shifts to a mai-taint:ea view ofillackfriars bridge, with St. Paul's and the steeples of the city in the perspective, and all the usual changes, buffetings, and tumblings of Pantomime take place. It would be almost impossible, if it were not unnecessary, . to detail the ingenious devices, transformations, &c. of. this Pantomime, which were "mist of them well conceived, but which did not pass with the facility which can only be ex pected from practice. The Hero of the Piece, Sindbad, will always be interesting in whatever shape he may appear, and he, of 'course, excited great attention and curiosity last night. Among [the ludicrous tricks was th e fli g h t o f a can dl e, which was chased•by the Clown and Pantaloon, in order to light their pipes ; "and the subsequent appearance of the former in a Bassoon, which was taken out of the -Orchestra. An interesting little girl, stated to be only five years of age, who was taken out of a barrel, and who danced a hornpipe admirably, was among the amusing in- . cideuts of' the Piece. Another -was the sudden change of /Art - Levin. into a skeleton, immediately atter lie was shot. But an extra event, which was • received with a miature of applause and disappro bation by the audience, was the commullication of .the intelligence announced in Lord Ba - rnURST'S Letter to the LORD MAYOR, of which Mr. BER.. NAItD •informed the -audience.—The Pantomime,. upon the. whole, Nvas well received, and an nounced for repetition with general assent. COVENT-GAADEN.---TirC same landahre motives which generally induce the Managers of our Theatres to bripg forward the tragedy of George Barnwell, that it may operate at this period as au awful warning upon the rising generation of holi day visitors, prevailed here also last night, and this melancholy drama was succeeded by a new Pantomime, entitled "harlequin Whittington, 1.07 d Mayor of London." The subject of this piece, like that at Drury-lane, is so well known, and so early introduced into the infant mind, that . an outline of the fable would be a dull repetition in this place. It is sufficient to state, that as much of the story is retained as•was consistent with the nature of the composition, and that after some pre paratory measures, Whittington is converted into Harlequin ; - Cicely, the Cook, is made Clown ; Miss' Alice, the-Merchant's daughter, takes the character of Columbine; and that of Pantaloon falls on Alder man Gobble, her rejected suitor. ice tricks are so numerous, and follow in such. rapid • succession, that we should fill several columns if we were to attempt to enumerate them. They surprise and extort applause from their ingenuity, but are sometimes wanting in drollery. The compiler Of this entertainment has taken advantage, of the peace to furnish us ,with some excellent French scenery, enlivened with several pleasant hits at French and English peculiarities. The splendour of that memorable day, which saw a whole people assembling in national joy, to celebrate the re storation, of Peace between England and her mighty . Rival, is happily recalled, by a beautiful represeoation of the Bridge and Pagoda, and Temple of Concard• in the Parks. Some superb fire-works arc here let off. We cannot speak too highly of these ;. but the convenience of the aa dience would be much consulted, if they could be exhibited nearer the end of the Pantomime, as the smoke and sulphur with which they fill the Theatre, detract much from the enjoyment which the subsequent scenes are calculated to afford. The most admired of the transformations were of Whittington's Stone into a fairy Temple ; a Cask of English Gin, and one or two other arCeles, become a Fish-woman, with her basket on her head ; a baker's BaSket is changed to a table and seats, and the table, &c. into a ,baker's basket. again. Much mirth was excited by transforming Pantaloon into a wheelbarrow. .This is elil!cted not by Harlequin but by the Clown, who forces a mop-stick through a cheese, to make a wheel, and placing this between his hands, he piles seve ral cheeses on his back, and using his legs as the handles of the barrow, wheels •the whole from the sight of the audience. One of the most inter:lting of the spectacles was the ascent of the daughto.,of the celebrated GARS. NERIN in a balloon, and her descent in a parachute. But we must refer our jgeenile Readers to the Theatre for a farther knowledge nof the wonders of this Christmas Drama. The unexpected ligence of Peace with ..imerica, afte r all the re portstiieaudience in the progress- of the of its improbability, was comm un i cate d t o pantomime, by GIUMALDI, and received with mingled app tale and disapprobation.---The general reception of the piece was highly favourable, and warm approba. , Lion attended the announced repetition.
