-town. * w
The alarm for the safety of this island
: | daily, gains flground. Murat is at Reggio,
at the head of 40,000 men; 20 divisions of
* boats, consisting of 50 each, to be convoyed
by 6dr 8 gun-boats, which are ready on the
Italian Coast to go down to the Faro. The
w English and Sicilian gun-boats have fallen
in with the first division, and (as our friend
writes me) the result was, ** the capture
from the French of 8 or 10 small transports
U with military stores, brass .field-pieces,
1 with carriages and waggons complete, and
4«f tfieir gun-boats, which aft now refitted
for cruising against them. Eight other of
their gun-bqats were sunk, and a number
\ ’ of others much damaged.” The allies had

S' MW , FROM FRANCE.
Captain 'Prendergrast, who has arrived
I \ *H<e w-London, communicatevahe follow-
' ing additional, intelligence from France:
’ ** The ship Sally, Captain Scott, of Bos-
I ton, was taken up by General Armstrong
In April last, to convey him and his family
' home; and so certain was the General of
4 .getting the Bally, that he entered info a
' written agreement with Mr. S. V. S. Wild
..j Paris for the ship. 1 saw a copy of
If ZS3eHP *£ reemcnt » the substance of which
J. fJMRKna that the ship was to proceed from St.
' ” 'Wbastians, where she lay sequestered, to
Bpurdeaux. there to take the (&i£ral and
tulle on board. Mr. Ridgeway, late Ame
rican Consul at Antwerp, and his fam Uy,
were also to embark in the Sally. The
taptajn relied firmly on the agreement,
that he -kept all his crew on board; nor
was it uttil a few days previous to the
-«*-* Ann’s sailing that he knewjiis fate- All
Xj the sequestered vessels, the Sally excepted,
, were sent fghn St. Sebastians to Bayonne.
She was left, expecting daily a permission
to go to Bourdeaux ; when an order was
received for the Sally to go to Bayonne.
A few days after her arrival there, the
captain received a letter from Mr. Wilder,
informing him that the General declined
leaving* France these six months; and that
*the agreement must be considered as void.
“ The order for preventing all foreigners
from leaving the country without a special
permisskte from the Minister of Police, at
Pdrisj treated much uneasiness amongst
1 v * the Ateblicans. The reason for its being
issued was reported to be in consequence
of fira having been set to the palace during
the |dte fete, by wMch the lives of the im
-4 pemf family were endangered; but this
story obtained little or no credit.

the following article from a
<& C.) paper of September 3:
** The brig Respect, Captain Heard,
which arrived at this (fort a few days since
from Liverpool, fr one of those unfortu
nate American vessels which passed
through the gripe of french tyranny and
robbery. The Reopect'itiied foam Liver
pool bound to Gotsenborf, on the 25th of
November last, and oa the Ist rf DeceM
bee, in the English Channel, was capture®
by four French,loggers. Captain Heard
was taken out of his vessel foloqhe of she
luggers, a Freoeh ceew pnt on board, and
she was ordered ftg'Calais; On the sarte
evening the brig was re-taken by a British
cutter, after an toeffectual attempt on
fotef the French to run her on shore.—
on board the privateer. Captain H.
was treated with the greatestbrutalicy by
the privateersmen ; When he was landed,
he iifto irons, together with bit
mate and two seamen ; and after layino
in the prison at Calais eleven days, ho
marched off with several other Ame
rican prisoners alibi trains, for Boulogne
where ho was again thrown into prison.
After being kept to 0 jdungeou
at the fatter twenty days,
without any thing to subsist on t , dive bread
and water, and without being allowed eveq
a change of linen, he was again taken oS||
and marched back in the same degrading
manner to Calais. Here Captain H. was
confined for about six weeks longer, when
he obtained his liberation through the in-
the Commissary-General of
Police at mat place. From thence he ef
fected his escape to England. After re
turnii zto England Captain Heard found
that his vessel had arrived safe to that
country, and he got possession of her egain
by paying a salvage of about 400 pounds.
** Captain Heard, white in prison, wrote
to General Armstrong, but received no
other assistance from him than what could
be derived from a few lines of consolation,

LATEST FROM LJSBON.
The brig Amelja, Captalii Hews, ar
rived at boston on Sunday last, in 37 days
from Lisbon. Captain Hewes reports that
there had been no fighting between the
combined armies and the French, since
the engagement with General Crawford ;
5000 troops from Halifax had just arrived,
and a fleet of transports, having on board
7000 more, was spoken by Captain Hewes,
soon after sailing, from Plymouth for Cadis.
The Dutch colony of Ambou, to the East-
Indies, capitulated to the English on the
17th of April last. The garrison consisted

We are pleased to see Play
of Bunker Hill announced (the fisi't time
these five years) fofr representation on
Thursday evening next. So strong a me
morial of national honour should have its
record appear once, at teat, in every dra
matick season, and display to the rising
gen/ration the patriotism and valour of
those heroes, who so bravely fought, and so
gloriously fell in the great cause of freedom.
The popularity which this piece acquired
on its first representation in Bosfon, was so
well established by, its frequent repetit ion,
that spectators flocked from, all parts of
the country to attend its exhibition ; and
we sincerely hope and trust, that it will
have its usual effect on Thursday evening.
To add to its attraction, our little juvenile
favourite, Miss Wokhall, will make her,
appearance, (for that night only,) in •* The
Children in the Wood.” The versatile
merits of this infant daughter of Thalia,
are too well known to need any further
comments. A. B.
LOMDOW PARAGRAPHS.
Bonaparte, during his last journey, did
not allow his new wife more rest than
what he himself took; scarcely was she
arrived into a town, than he compelled
her, Jdred, te get to a barouche,
and to visit with him fortifications, dock
yards, basons, canals, &c. There is hardly
any doubt but he will ere long make her
leap ditches with him,* was she even to
break her neck in that exercise, as did
General Bertrand. It is thus that man
shews his love. Among other instances,
in Dunkirk, where he arrived at one o’clock,
P. M. he hastened to get into a barouche
with her, and visited, always with her, all
the works in the harbour and on the forti -
fications, till half past six to the evening;
she was then compelled to hear part of the
speeches of the different authorities ; and
at nine o’clock at night, after allowing her
one hour to dinner and dressing, he sent to
her to assist at a fete which the town had
prepared in her honour. Such is nearly
every day the li|s of that young Princess.
Napoleon did not -assist at the fete pre
pared for h'lm by the city of Bruges, but, as
usual, he sent there the Empress, who by
the amenity of her manners, made the good
Flemish people forget her husband’s unpo
liteness. (
It is a fact not generally known, that the
President of the Royal Academy, during *
of fifty years, has not re-1
ceivod snore than tarn orders from Noble
man. As coutr|rt to. this apathy among a
class of men who have Men considered in
qjU age* and countries the privileged pa
trons of She Fine Arts* may be mentioned
an instance of liberality of vary late occur-,
reaae, tenich is no leas honourable to the
individual wph whom it originated, than
encouraging to artists, from the prospect it
opens to them from a quarter where they
had less hope to look for encouragement.
A gentleman of eminence in the mercan
titemprld, waited upon Mr. West, a few
and an interview with
him. On biflhg introduced, he informed
him that the object of his visit was .to in
quire for whose collection his pictuft, to
tip late exhibition of Christ teaching hu
mility, was intended. Mr. West gave him
-to understand that he had no specHlck or
der to undertake It; that he had painted
it solely from bis love of the arts, and
i,a tiew to keep alive, aa much as was in
bin power, the decaying state of. this na
tion for subjects of historical design ; and
ttat he should consider lt> he always
had done, a duty he owed to his coudtry
and to his sovereign, to devote his profes
sional life to that important end. The
gentleman, finding Mr. West had no ob
jection tn part with his pidture to him,
said, will yoii permit me, Sh£)|o prtteat
you with a 1000 guineas for that piesure ?
