JAMAICA► INTMLUGENCE. JAMAICA, OCT. 22.--The Montagnepacket sail ed on Monday with a mail for Great Britain, un-, der convoy, to a certain latitude, of 'La Decou verte brigantine. Le-Dnc de Manchester schooner, bearing the colours of his Most Christian Majesty, having on board M. Auxioa Lavaise, Adjutant-General, and one of the Commissioners from the King of. France to St. Domingo, proceeded the same morning for Port-au,Prinee. It is said that Petion' has fitted up an elegant house for his re ception at that place, _ The Contest brig, of W guns, arrived- on Tuesd a y f rom I cruise off the north side of the island. She went in pursuit of the Saucy Jack off Lucca, and chased for two hours, with out being able to come up with her. The Arachne brig, of 18 guns, arrived on Thursday from Cape Francois and Gonaires, .with the brig Vigilant from the former port bound to Cork, and the bri , - ' Smolenskoi bound to Liverpool, to join the homeward-b oun d fleet. The Herald post-sloop, 20 guns, arrived yesterday from Carthagena. The•lster frigate, of 36 guns, was in the offing. She wAs at the Saints in August 'last; hitt as she appears full of troops, she is probably the forerunner of the expedition from Ber muda. , The American privateer Saucy Jack, has, committed con siderable depredations on the coasting trade. She has within these 12 days captured several draggers. EXTRACT OT A LETTER DATED LUCCA, 0er..10. The Captain of the boat the Endeavour was taken early this morning by the Saucy Jack, and roiffied of cables, rigging, sails, and provisions, with dry goods. They threw the shingles -overboard, and set fire to the boat ; afterwards put,the Cap tain and three Spaniards on board, who succeeded in extin guishing the fire; he came in with a blanket for a sail. The privateer, I unde►stand, has. 150 men. The Saucy Jack proceeded toleeward, and off the Hope wharf captured the following vessels, belonging to Montego hay :—the schooner Kingston Packet, the schooner Mary, a sloop belonging to Green Island, which was !mint : three ne groes, belonging to the Kingston packet, took to the boat, and effected their escape; two negroes were detained; the Mary was plundered of her sails and rigging, and given up. The privateer manned the Kingston packet, and sen' her in cbace of the Moop Friends,• likewise belonging to Montego bay, which is also supposed to Lave been captured. •Extract om Savanna-la-Mar, Oct. 13:—" The Saucy Jack is off our harbour, and captured sic sloops and schotincrs ; viz. the Kingston packet, Weazle, Friends, Mary; other names I do not leayn; a sloop was set on fire this morning close in:" . Copy of the certificate given to the Captain of 'the Mary, by the SancyJack:—" Saucy Jack, Oct. 18.,-This is to cer tify that I have this day captured the English schooner Mary, from Black River to_Lucca; f have released his vessel, and given hen- up t. him, after detai:ling his pipers and taking what articles I found necessaiy. " J. P. CHAZAL, Commander of the Saucy Jack." KING OF HAYTI. This sable Sovereign seems resolved To be behind hand with no Monarch, Oriental or European, in the external magnifiCence of exalted rank. The ee-remonies of his Court,—his Princes and Prin cesses,--the gradations of his Nobility in Drakes, 'and Counts, and Barons, have already been before the public. A crown, a sceptre, robes, and other attributes of the reitlia, have already beets sent out to his Majesty from this country. Articles fOr the completion of his public equipage, manu factured by eminent saddlers in the city, are now ready to be shipped for Hayti. In their quality, de sign, and execution, they are perhaps unequalled in their kind in the display of any Potentate of Eu rope, on the proudest occasions. They consist of a state saddle and state harness for eight horses. The saddle is of a very large size, the seat part much carved; with pistol - holSters, and a large saddle-cloth. The whole is made of crimson Ge noa velvet ; the seat worked in devices, with yel low silk, and studded with gold. The holster co vers and"saddie-cloth are most splendidly embroi dered with broad variegated and vandyked gold borderings, and trimmed with rich fringes of gold bullion, headed with roses, and decorated with tassels of the same description at the corners. On each side Of the cloth is represented in gold eni.- broidery his Majesty's coat of arms, with stars and sprigs of oak. The heraldic bearings are .a shield ; on the field gales, a phoenix issuing froal flames, with a motto on a curved rib, band underneath, " Je renais de. mes cen dres." The field is dotted with nine mullets. The supporters are two lions rampant and crowned. The motto underneath is " Dieu, ma cause, et arson ipee." The shield is surmounted by a crown, not exactly like the regal crowns of England or France, nor opening like the Imperial crown, hut of large dimensions, and spreading more than the European crowns,. It is surrounded by the collar of the new Order of Hayti, with the cross pendant. The double holster covers have si milar decorations. The stirrups are of silver, curiously chased and gilt. The bridle and stirrup holders are of black japanned leather, em bossed with silver, gilt phoenixes, and military tro phies. The state harness for eight horses is inag- 7 nificent without heaviness. It is of japanned black leather, and is enriched with a splendid profusion of ornaments, all of solid silver, but not gilt; Wnkers, bosses, face-pieces, neck-bands, territs, traces, &e. are all adorned . with cro wias„ or phoenixes, or fulls coats of arms, &c.: the reins are of crimson silk, adorned with gold bullion tassels. On the whole, we, believe, that nothing so costly has yet been executed, and the general effect of it, glittering' under a tropical sun, must form a most beautiful and superb feature in the pageantry of King Henry. . Mr. KING, of Massachusetts, in a long speech iri the American House-of Representatives against the increase of the taxes, gives a very severe but just critique upon the measures of-Mr. MADISON, wheel he compares to the Jackal! obeying the commands of the Imperial BeaSt of France, and hoping to have a portion of the spoil throWn to him as the reward_ of his a bj ect b aseness. M r. KING hints that-New England will keep her re sources for her Own occasions, and contrasting the situation of that State now with her situation when she was under the British Government, asks " What was a Boston Port Bill, compared with . a General Embaygo ? What a duty on a few unimportant articles, compared with the taxes and oppressions which this Administration have brought upon this people ?.As much as I abhor the tVranny and oppression of a GRAFTON, a NORTH, QC a BUTE, and their hireling associates in dif ferent Ministries in England, against this coun try, I would not do them the injustice t 6 compare them with a set of men and measures which would disgrace 'them. If a king of England, by his cor rupt servants, chastised New England with whips, :his Administration have chastised her with scor pions. A repetition'of the same grievance will re mind us of the remedy." POEIR V. TIDE RIVAL MANAGERS. To liberal HARRIS praise is dne, .

THEATRICAL DISPUTES. We are assured that the account handed to es; and inserted in THE SUN, respecting the corre spondence between Mr. WHITBREAD and Mr. KEAbr is exaggerated. It is true that Mr. KEAN, by playing at a Country Town, contrary, as is stated to us on authority, not only to the rules of the Theatre but to his solemn promise, gave occasion to the Manager, Mr. WHITBREAD, to write to him on the subject ; but the corre spondence which ensued was, as we receive it from the same authority, carried . on and termi nated in the most amicable manner. We are further Favoured with an absolute denial of the Manager's having tittered the low and vulgar_ reproach ascribed to him, and informed that he is as much above so illiberal a remark as he is superior to the malice• of• his impotent as sailant. We have great pleasure in doing this justice to Mr. WHITBREAD, because, holding the opinions we do of his political life, we are glad to learn that his theatrical career is of a different colour. ENGLISH OPERA. MR. EDITOR,--Some of the Public Prints have expressed the discontent manifested by the old Frequenters of the Theatre, and yours among the rest, on the manner of defacing the sterling Operas of this country by the omission of the established airs, and the introduction of"Songsovhich have no connection with. the respective pieces. This com plaint is very reasonable, and the Conductors of our Theatres ought to have more respect for the feelings of the Public, and snore regard to the me mory of departed genius, than to give- - their sanction to such a practice, in order to gra tify the vanity of a Musical Composer, or favourite Singer. The established - Operas which were admired by our ancestors, and which, by keep rig their stations on the Stage, while most modern productions of a: similar kind are every day hastening into oblivion, spew that. they pos sess intrinsic merit, and are conformable to truth and nature. Such Works, therefore, ought to be kept pure from interpolation ; and it is insulting to the honest prejudices of the Public, as well as to the memory of great talents, to disfigure them in compliance with caprice or vanity. lf modern Composers and Singers are so ambitious to dis tingnish themselves,..let the Conductors of our Theatres revive the former practice of intro ducing ,Songs between the, acts, which, not to go so tar back as the ..time of old LE 171:EDGE, was. in frequent use within the me mory of many of our contemporaries. BEARD, Lows, VERNON, and many other Performers, ce lebrated in their day, were in the habit of intro ducing Songs between the acts. " The Early Horn" of TOMMY LowE was always sure to con tribute powerfully to the general attraction of the Theatre on the - night when announced to be sung by him in this manner. The omissions, altera tions, and additions which have been made in Love in a Village, The Maid of the Mill, Lionel and Cla rissa, and 'lice Duenna, are glaring violations of propriety that ought not to be tolerated ; and in order to preserve in their original state those sterling old Operas which do honour to the me mory of some admirable Musicians of this coun try, it to be hoped that the Public will, on the representation of these pieces, or any other that are sanctioned by time and general approval, re sist, by some decisive marks of censure, every attempt, to injure their beauties by obtrusive in novation. Piazza Coffee-house, Dec. 15. SQUARE TOES. P. S.' It may be proper• to add, Mr. Editor, that though the Managers of Drury-lane Theatre desersve the warmest approbation of the Public for the splendid manner in which they have re vived the play of Macbeth (not to cavil at the anachronism of the costume, which the prevaleni taste for magnificence and shew may excuse), it is painful to hear the liberties whith are taken with the fine old music of .MATTHEW LOCKE, as some of the vocal - performers are not content with its beautiful' simplicity and genuine grandeur, but "endeavour to improve it by decorations and ca dences totally inconsistent with its nature and cha racter. Mr. YOUNG has had the misfortune to lose an A un t, which is the occasion of his not performing this evening, Some People may recollect the notice which was taken in the British Parliament of one JOHN HENRY. We were charged with having employ ed him to intrigite for a separation of the F.astern States from the Union: The worthy citizen re ceived a bribe from the American. PRESIDENT of 50,000 dollars to bring thatcharge against tis, and wa s then withdrawn from justice by his employer, b e ibg sent in a public vessel of the United States to France. Many of the Capital Prizes in the last Lottery were sold the very first day the Tickets came out ; this circumstance Will in some measure account for the extraordinary demand which took place for the Tickets of the present Lottery as soon as they were issued, though, in our opinion, Fifty Czipital Prizes, including Two of Twenty Thou sand, and Two of Ten Thousand Pounds each, in a Lottery of 12,000 Tickets, present- other and better reasons for an Early Purchase. FitoM 11'111 pApmts. Count Malt Zan has erected. at his own ex pence a monument of stone near the town of Militseb, in Silesia, which belongs to him, on the spot where,' on the 10th of April, 1813, the E‘mperor Alexander, on his march to France, first trod the-soil of Germany.monument was finished in three months, and opened on the of ,f_-;;-optember. , It stands about 600.' paces. - from the- new2mansion of the proprietor of the soil, Count Maltzan, at the intersection of the roads leading to that mansion and Carstadt, on a marshy spot, where it was necessery to drive in almost a' wood of. elm piles, to obtain a solid foundation. It has the form of a triumphal arclr, 54 feet wide, 38-high, and 8 feet thick. The front faces the town. In the centre is a large arch, with a -passage on either side for ped e 's.. trians. Over the arch, on the front, is The in.- scription—" To Alexander the ,First, 'Frederic 'William the Third, and Francis the Second, the Deliverers of , Germany." Upon a tablet on the right, "To the heroic conquerorßlucher," and on another tablet on the left, "To the brave' ie. tors." On the contrary side, facing the mansion - house, upon tablets, are these inscriptions On the right—" To ,the brave Militia and Vo lunteers, who, by the faVour of God, gained the most glorious victory for their King and Coun try." On the left = " To the heroic Prussian Army." Above—" Alexander the First, the Pa cificator of Europe, here entered Germany on the Iot hof April, 1813." On the interior surface of the arch, surrounded by arabesques, are medal lions, corresponding in number with the principal battles, and inscribed—" Great Gorschen, Den neuitz, Katzbach, Culm, Leipzig, Warteburg, .Rothiere, Laon, Paris." .On either side are tablets ; that on the right is inscribed 7-- " Erected in May 1814, in memory Of the deli verance of his country, with sentiments of sincere veneration for his King and the Allied Monarchs, and with the highest respect for ail the brave Champions of German independence, by Joachim Charles Count Maltzau." On the left :—" De signed and executed by Leonard Sehittzel," The pediment is surmounted by a lion, couchant. The structure itself is of iron-st One and tilt &Meta of sandstone. The appropri a t e decorations consist of palm, laurel, and oak branches. On the 7th of September this MonuMent Was opened by a short discourse from the Rev. Mr. Richter, addressed to the military and others, who bad repaired hither froth the town in solemn processiOn, and formed a circle round the edifice. A grand dinner was given on the occasion by Count Malzan ; and in the same apartment Where the F4 - nperor Alexan der, on the llth of April, 1813, returned solemn thanks to the Most High for the tirst advantages gained by 'the Prussians over the French, was held a grand-concert, succeeded _by a ball, which was opened by the founder of . the feast hithself, though'B2 years of age. At nightfall the man• sion and nearest buildings were tastefully illumi nated. • Since Kotzebue first proposed to re.move, the Giant's Pillar,. as it is called,.from Felsherg, near Reichenhach, in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, - to the field of the battle of Leipsic, several other persons have published proposals for perpetuating 'that important event: This . pillar measures -31 feet two. inches in length in diameter at the bot tom four feet two inches- and a half, and at the top three feet nine inches and a . half; of course, upon an average, four feet. ..The whole mast contains 392- cubic feet ; each cubic foot of this granite weighs somewhat more than 151 pounds, sb that the weight of the whole column is 59,281 'pounds, or abOve 26 tons. Large as this mass is, yet others of far superi6r dimensions have, been moved by human hands. .The celebrated rock of granite, which serves-for a pedestal to the statue of Peter the Great, at Petersburgh, weighed more than three Millions of pounds, and was conveyed from the Gulp!' of Frie.Aand to the Russian me. tropolis. The great Obelisk of the VatiCan, erect ed by Fontana, contains 973,537 pounds ; but the removal of the GiantPs Pillar, though of much smaller dimensions, would probably,. on account of its distance from the place of its destination, be attended with much greater difficulties. PORTER. Mr. GIFFARD, at a late meeting of the Quarter- Assembly at Dublin, on the subject of the high price of beer, said, " But, as to the brewers, it is nothing to them the price of barley or hops, nor can it effect any 'reduction in the price of malt liquor ; for, Gentlemen, I tell you, they never use a-grain 'of it—(A laugh). • No, Gentlemen, they go to every quarter of the globe in search of materials, sooner than use your barley : they go to the East Indies for the coctilia Adieus ; tiwy go to Spain for whole cargoes of liquorice y they sail to South America and the \Vest Indies, and come home laden with, tobacco ; in short, Gentlemen, they use every poisonous vegetable to stupify and intoxicate thei.t customer; they search your hedges for henbane and the deadlynight-shade,"the berries of which are so commonly met with on the road-side—all sooner than use malt or hops ; and this liquid, .obtained from those noxious and - poisonous plants, they, proclaim to the world as a wholesome beverage. 1 remember the time when they used opium in such large quantities, that the price of that article arose to no less that) 41. 10s. sterling per pound, which was about 2d. the grain ; they were con sequently obliged to drop that article, as it be came too dear for them, to intoxicate their cos, tomers with."—This may be Called Irish Beer, &c; , A PEDESTRIAN FEAT.--A few minutes before o'clock last - night; ' a voting man completed, in the highest style, a , walk of 70 Miles in '22 hours and 45 minutes, fo'r a wager of Fifty Pounds. The -ground chqsen was the favourite spot, he. teen the 3d.and 4th mile stones on the Croydon road. He started. at 8 o'clock on Wednesday night, and was allowed 24 hours. At the conclu sion 'of his task he declared himself as being " never better in his life," an assertion amply corroborated by the freshness of his appearance„ and entire absence of any unusual! fatigue.
