the French FREEDOM and a happy Constitution
—we also wife the, ma, jpare the unnecessary Ef
fufion of human Blood—We fill hope that tyran
nick Power ma, not prevail again/? the Cause of
Freedom, though we feel deeply afleaed with the
Misfortunes of a Mau, who, as far as Man could,
claimed the Title of Friend and Father of his
People. Paris News, to the 22d of January,
confirms, beyond a Doubt, the Execution of LOUIS
on the 21st Jan.+lt is generally termed a
MURDER !—lt is Jai d that the King's Son died
two Bays after bis Father.
There is a Paragraph tnfome of the late Papers,
which fays, it appears that the French were repuls
ed in their Attempt upon a Fortress, either in the
Netherlands, or on the German Side of the Rhine,
by the Prussians and Aufrians, after a brave and
vigorous Ajault.—The Gallic Arm,, after retreat
ing beyond the Reach ofa severe Cannonade, threw
down theirfire arms, & advanced,f word in hand,
with a Countenance and Resolution unequalled in mo.
dern Hiftory, and in afeort Time carried the Place
b, Efcalade. The Aaion was Jharp, and confider
al ^Malaga as the most bloody of any, that has
happened in the Course of the War, the Slaughter
being immense on both Sides, but particularly great
among the Aufrian and Prussian Troops, most of
whom belonging to the Garrijon, were extirpated
' on the Spot in the Fur, of the Storm.'
L the TRAGEDY.
ON Thursday Evening last was performed
in the court Hojife in this Town, (the second
Time) a. celebrated Tragedy, called 66 THE
REVENGE."——This was a virtuous, senti
mental and rational Amusement tothe refped
able Inhabitants of this Town —and as it was
performed was certainly an Honour to Concord.
The Charaders were as follow :—ZANGA,
Mr. P. Carigain, jun. ALONZO, Mr. 0.
Carigain. ALVAREZ, Mr. Ruf ell. DON
CARLOS, Dr. I: Sanborn. MANUEL, Mr.
A. Sanborn. LEONORA, the Wife of Alon
' zo, perfonated by Master John Roche. ISA
BELLA, Wife to Zanga, by Master J.Chafe.
The most capital Parts were admirably sup
ported; and it is but Justice to observe, that
Zanga, by fartfoe hardest, Charader to per
form, was a&ed Completely and to the Life, by
Mr. P. Carigain ; his Gestures were judi
cious, and his Soliloquies were listened to with
the most pleasing, polite Attention, by the Au
dience, at the Condition of which he had the
whole applaufive gallery Roar. In these he
displayed his best dramatic abilities. Thro' all
the Changes in Voice end A&ion, from Pas
sion to intrigue, and from Despair to Joy, he
difplay'd true Knowledge of the Character he
perforated; he spoke diftihaiy, and when
necessary, very animated. This is the princi
pal Charaaer of the Piece, and firft Ador^ ,
Alonzo was performed with graceful Spirit,
he discovered a great Knowledge of his Part ;
he spoke beautifully, energetically, spiritedly,
—and received the frequent Clap of the elated
Audience.
Don Carlos supported his Charaaer to Per
feaion—he spoke and look'd th'e Part of a des
pairing Lover with so much of the Appearance
of Reality, that one could'hardly think it a
Fidion—He received the Plaudit of the Gal
lery by clapping, &e. in every A&. 4^
Leonora performed her Part inimitably well
—her Voice was'foft and harmonious—the
spoke and aded with Judgment, and she bore
the Abuse of a jealous Husband with heroine
Fortitude, mix'd with female Delicacy.
Some of the other Characters gain'd Ap
plause, and delerve Credit for their„ theat
rical Excursion. ,

LOUIS.
1 HE unhappy Fate of our worthy Friend Louis
16^. has been the Cauje of sincere Sorrow to all
Advocates of Worths His basest Enemies mull allow
that he ,@fa 4 tender and benevolent Heart —
and was the Friend of Freedom. — His Death is la
mented by Americans in general-ami it is feared
will prove the Means of more Bloodshed in that nn
happy Kingdom, than has hitherto been known —
It will undoubtedly draw man, of the States o, Eu
rope into the WAR against France, which would
otherwise have remained neuter—lt will draw on
, the French the Enmity of ever, crowned Head, and
the strongest Exertions of all monarchical Govern
ments —therefore it can hardly be doubted that the
European World will be involved in a GENERAL
AND BLOODY WAR this Summer. —We wife
so MIRROUR.
CONCORD,
^CARD.
1 HE S^ri^r tas humbly as he ought)
begs the Pardon ofthoJe Ladies and Gentlemen who
became Patrons of the REVENGE Tragedy by pur
chasing Tickets, for giving away 30 Tickets —
for which he paid.—C ^he above Tickets were,
"'' g*ven by, or in the Rame of, '' The AAors,
but by the Subferiber, at his own Expense ;—Nor
had he the most distant Idea of offending injo do
ing. For which Offence, he begs Absolution, in
the Name of the Constitution, which Jecures Life,
Liberty, and (personal) property.,
These who have been officious in seconding Ue
eafinefs, on account of my giving away these Tick
ets; are not thanked, they are not the perJons whom
i fald wife my Guardians.—^ I never before
heard but that a man had a good and lawful Right
to buy TICKETS, if he choje, and even give them
away to his Friends, or even his Enemies. But
I will be very cautious how 1 offend, in this Line,
infuture, I am,^Sc. E.Russell. _
The Entertainment was concluded with a
Pantomime, which was received with univer
sal Applause.
Upon the Whole, the Exhibition was an ex
cellent Treat.,. The Selectmen of the Town
attended, & were pleased that the Inhabitants
should have such a rational Amusement by the
Exertion of a Number of Gentlemen, whose
Dispositions were philarithropick, and who
wished to please Society. A good Tragedy is
certainly a virtuous Feast, and delightful to
People of Taste. . • u*
The Dresses of the principal Actors and Ac
tress, were truly elegant, exceeding rich, and
shone to the greatest advantage; and it was
remarked by many present, who have seen Eu
ropeanStages,that they never fawClothes more
brilliant. The Adors cannot refrain from ex
pressing their Thanks to the Miss Harriss
es—to Miss N. Harris ire particular, for
her generous Attention to the Drefr. $
the Prologue rhetorically well—he discovered
the true Orator-=was emphatical and sublime
in his Delivery—his Motions were truly grace
ful—His Attention to the Scenery and Paint
ings in the Pantomime, gain'd him Honour.
He has the warmest Thanks of the Adors for
his ingenious Management.——Mr. Chase
is warmly thanked for his friendly Assistance.

others, have the Thanks of the Adors for their
Assistance in the Mufick.
