1 . , i , .4i Drury Lam: TkIE• S C HOOL.. Folk SCANDAL. MISIDUNCAN ) WhOSC priivincial fame has for some time been very high, made her first appearance last night at this Theatre in the charaAer of Lady ba de. Her figure. is. elegant and commanding,- Her • face is masculine and by no means handsome, but, taking the toot ensemble, there is hardly any person on the Stage - whose appearance is more striking.— As an aCtress, she possesses great claims to public favour, and altogether is the best ret , resentative Of Lady Teazle that has been seen since Miss Fitt. REM quitted the st.!ge. Her deportment is easy . and elegant. She. does not, however, manage her features so well as she does the rest of her person, for her mouth very large, and, hav ing the advantage of a fine set ut teeth, she is rather too anxious to display them. In face she bears a strong resemblance of Mrs. HUMPIIRI Es, of . Covent Garden 'fheltre, and her voice is in general like that of Miss PARR EN. She thoroughly COlll. preherded the part of Lady Teazle, and supported it With admirable spirit. There is a playfulness in her Manner that would he very interesting if she Were liand4lne, and which, we dnubt not, will be very effeelive the mote the Public are reeoncitfd to het features. SIT introduced a pretty little. Air, which she sung with treat taste, and•displayed mu. -sical pots ers ot no common order, Upon the whole, she is an adteirahle addition to the London Stage. 'flit, Audience, sloch entirelj occupied the Theatre, received het with the warmest applause. Et.t.t , rox appeased for -she first time in the pan of Charles, and supported it wi.h great spirit. His deportment was, as usual, too sr/died, anti he seem. ed to have a sort of airet e d s t . i rc . i mpori ,„„„, not much suited to the easy lnimnu - r of char/cr. In one respett, we think, he was egregion.ly. mistaken,, for in the discovery. scene he went a4 , .ay as if over. powered by laughter, when, whatever might be the Volatility of his temper,- his humanity ought to have been interested by the disgrace of a Brother, the apparen t dis`•onor.of his worthy old Guardian, and the degradaliqn of a woman o f e h ara tt er . But there w as a ther that butting vivacity in his acti n g alrttge gave an essential suppiqt to the Comedy. The part of Sir Peter Teazle. was .performed by UsTirelys, itr a very chaste manper, and if ap peared cold, such an impression could' only arise from a compariun between his unaffected man. tier, and the dashing buffoonery that charaderizes most of cite comic' performers of the present day. Much as we admire The School jai Sc an d a l, we wish a ll that part of it which relates to-the supposed amour between' Child,: and Lady Sassinvell,Aere Wholly'omitied. There is nothing that appears, to implicate Charles in this supposed amour, or, .that gives the Lady the least claim upon him, In fact, it is all dead matter, and is a needless'drasv..back upon the conclusion of this brilliant Comedy. Richard Caur de Lion detained the audience till it ended. Miss HOLLOWAY appeared again in Laurette, but did not display any marks of improve. merit. • • • Cavort-Garden. Mrs. St DDONS made her first appearance here last night in the chraner of Ebvira v in Pizarro. She was received with the greatest applause, and played with all her accustomed energy and ability. KSM. 1314._perfurmed Rolla in a style that delighted the audience, who rewarded' him in the dying scene With three distind peals of applause. H. Slot:lolls apveared to much greater advantage in iihn zo than Ive have seen him in almost any other charader. Of the rest of the Performers it is sufficient to say, that they, as uival, ably supported' the Piece. The Af ter-piece was L ac k an d Key, which sent the Audience away in gocd. humour. EMPEROR OF.

AMERICA. NEW YORK, AllO l , 23. Extraa of a Letter from Aux Cayes, to a Gentleman in Baltimore, dated July ts. gi This will serve, to inforth you, that the Eng. lish Admiral, who has communication with the Negroes of this Island, 'has put 'it into rite head of General I)EssALINBB to,cause himself to be pro.. claimed Emperor of Hayti,' and he is to be crown. ed in, a few days at 1 3 ort.au-Prince.'? We have stated, on information which will not be contradiCted, that Spain has refused to ratify the Convention heretofore agreed on ; which Conven tion, among other stipulations, allowed the Citi. zens of the United States an indemnity for the spo. liations committed on their property by the Go. vernment and Subjeeta of Spain. The reason assigned by CIiVALLos for this refusal 'was expressed thus ‘, The accession of Louisiana has so varied the relations between Spain and the United States, that we cannot and will not ratify the CoOvention."— Hence it appears, that the boasted acquisition of Louisiana, which has been so tynch trumpeted and. celebrated by our 'leading-string Administration, and for which we bane paid Fifteen - Millions of Dollars, or nearly. .one.fifth psrt of the whole amount of our National Debt, may cost Fifty. Mil.. lions more to quiet the possession. This - boasted bargain turns out tn,,be - nothing more than a,•put.. chase of individual injury and national dishonaut . . 7 -- .

The Master at one time observed on the hardship of stopping the Americans within sight of their own ports. I agreed with him, that it must be a great :antisyrnect Is their trade, 'but that when the Papers were sati,fadore, the detention was trifling, and we were compelled to do it to prevent the Enemy's vessel's from escaping wider the Neutral Fiag ; and that when the French Frigates came out of the Port, they would not bean closely watched. There were strong marks of discontent on the Master's coun. tenance when I spoke to him, which I am convinced was the cause army retnarking so particularly what happened on board her ; for it is almost impossible, when an Officer blards 'so many vessels during a Cruize, that, lie should, recolleCt every occurrence.— If this assertion is not sufficient to cot tr:ldid the Master's statement, I will mention the wanes of ' several Slaps. and Masters wlmot I have examined*, (Citizens of America, and to aid entire Strangers),' al a refer - to them, whether -my conduit as an Offieer sent to make a striitt examination: of their Papers, was not such as they had a right to exited from me as a Gentleman..
