Boston, November 24.
We are happy to announce the an ival of Wn -
Liam Jarvis, E«q (son of the late zealous ami
inflexible patriot, Dr Charles JarvisJ our Coil
tful at Lisbon, with his family We think our
Country much indebted to this gentleman for his
indefatigable and successful exertions in the dis
charge of his duties as an officer and as a citizen
—to llin' vc are indebted for the law permitting
the importations of flour and lice, and placing
theni on the present permanency—for the ameli
oration of the oppressive quarantine regulations,
reducing the number of da\ s from 30 to* 5—gran
ting the privilege of re shipping tobacco, on pay
ment of u small transit duty—and generally un
shackling the transaction of business from the ve
ry tedious and expensive delays occasioned by
the forms of office. Among the many advanta
ges derived from Mr Jarvis, that of the shipment
ol nearly 3000 of the most excellent of the Ale
rino Sheep to the United States, (among which
weie those owned by him, consigned to Messrs
*C. Coolidge & Co. of this town,) cannot be con
sidered of the least, when we reflect on the im
mense wealth brought ihto tills country by their
introduction.—Patriot.
The following may serve to shew where lie the
hnp< s and fe«rs of at least a large portion of the
English nation.

The following very important intelligence we
have this morning received by post, from one of
the most respectable houses in Liverpool t
• “ Liverpool, September 12, 1810.
** Dxar Sir,
" Wesend-vou the following ex
tract fr'Om a letter frbm New-York, dated Aug
.10 : It is from a quarter, on which we ourselves
place much reliance, and we think von may safe
ly lake the intelligence it contains for the fact_
IVe also send y< u a paragraph cut out of an A
mericAii pnperjust received.
** Yours, Etc. - »
Extract from the American letter.
“ You may be fully assured that a perfect un'
derstamling subsists between our government Sc
that of France, and that measures will be taken
accordingly ; indeed it has been roundly stated,
that the project has long since received the sanc
tion of both parties, and tl.st c.nr government on
ly waits intelligence from Europe, to take that
stand which, 1 much fear, will end in the des
truction ot our Federal Constitution. We have
much foreign trade, but it is a losing concern;
Mid I am grieved to add, that the war party is
daily gaining new accessions of strength. Your
Orders in Council, your impressment, your vio
lating the liberty of our waters, and above all,
vour rime svstem of blockade, lot bode no good.’*
Tltt follow ing is the paragraph alluded to :
Frsm the Next-Fork livening Post, August 8.
“Foreign Affairs.-From the late ac
counts! mm Europe, it appears that there is no
longer r hope that our affairs with foreign pow
ers can be settled by negociation. We must now
sit down and a'-know ledge that we mean to sub
mit to every indignity which can be heaped upon
as, or we must gird on the sword and defend
Ourselves. Wc must prepare for war, or for sub
jugation ; there is no avoiding it. Meanness will
shield us no longer. The public mind ought to
be prepared for energetic measures The> must
be icsot ted to. Anil should another session ol
Gongress pass over in contriving much and per
forming nothing, the country will he nearlyruin
«d Ii will be almost too lute to think of saving
the nation.” °
/if mat it by the Editor of the Statesman.
There is some difference between the writer
ot Wre paragraph and that of the letter : yet it is
not material, for they both plainly tend to shew
that the Americans do not expect any accommo
dation with England. And indeed, how can
they? What conciliatory counsels have our mi
nisters adopted towards the U. Scutes ? What
insult have they withheld their hand, or their
heart from offering to America ? Impressing her
seamen ; violating, and grossly, the liberty
of the American Waters’; insulting the Ameri
can fl«g ; firing into American ships of war ;
sending successive Ambassadors wit,1, olive bran!
ches. which they meant to strip of all their vei
dure ; sending Ambassadors to make afiulovies
which were undisguised insults sending men
without rank, and without character, tube the
messenger of their peevish counsels—these have
been part and only part of the wrongs and wounds
inflicted by our Ministers on America! And is
this to he borne here ? Have we no interest in it ?
Have those who have to pay the taxes, and have
no trade, no interest in the conciliation or breach
with America ? Have those who have to pav the
poor rates,no share in the debate— whether labr,
ring mechanics shall get their bread, and the
bread of their wives and children, by industry
making them well fed and honest, or shall eat
their bread in *he wotk-hovse, with idleness in
their hands and vice in their hearts ? Have those
•mechanics no interest in the settling of the qu**s
on ? Ah God ! they not only feel they have, but
they grin with rage when their pining children,
involuntarily and unconsciously put iln question
to thrm 1 Yes, basest of ministers, hear the truth
and be appalled ! The mechanic g.ins with rage
mi your conduct towards America—except when
he consciously smiles with hopes cl vengeance !—
And wnat was, or is, the motive of your policy
towards America ? What were^onto get by it >
or wiiat to lose by conciliating tier ? What to get,
buttlin', satisfying of mean and malignant passu
ona, which gratification is the delight of little
minus : wnai ene couiq yon get? JJul if,at
-was enough for y**u ! You can hazard ev*»ry po
litical evil togiatify poor pajsions! You can
Ar*ir any political evil for this enjoyment ? You
c.n hazard the loss of Ireland, to inflict pain C
disappointmcnt on tlin Catholics! You ran ha.
aard Ireland, to tot turn her with a Union ! You
can hazard Ireland, to revenge yourselves on the
Press! And you can hear with the loss of A
mriiican Commerce, to soothe the pining re
gret with which you lost America herself!
—It wus that soothing, which you could not bear
to part with, that you had to lose by conciliating
America Nothing on earth besides you hnd to
lose, or could you lose, by the wise policy of con
ciliating America ! Nothing! The honor of
the nation, of the English nation, you would
have saved t>v it ! It is dignity to concede, when
there is strength to defends wrong, and in pro
portion to the strength is the dignity! Have1
you never learnt this i Is there no one m.tn who
has access to you can tell you this > nr, have
you been told, and could not comprehend it ?
How is all this! Come, and tell your injured
country ! Come, and be honest, and she mav
forgive you ! put you light, and sufll-r you to re
main where you sre ! Why ! He honest and you
mayri main Nobody lores those who want to suc
ceed you in power. Nothing hut hatred of you
can make sny man wish to accept of them! If
you will no* conciliate America, for its <,w;i pio
per object, be 'j 'ends with her—to win Jv gland !
If * oil will not do justice t a Irish claim,, because
of their own proper merits, do so to gain Eng
land !—But it you will not do tln-se things from
some motive, then Engl md must go to the throne
4o remove you, and that with a voice the Throne
will not reject yoti .l it could, and cannot it it
-Were willing !

BIOGRAPHY OF COOKE.
The editor of the Morning Post has anticipa
ted us in giving the subjoined account of this un
rivalled actor ; to which we annex the opinion
of a lively and capable writer, on his talents in
hia prol.-ssion and his accomplishments and qua
litics as a man—NT. Columbian
George Frederick Cooke, actor, was born in
Dublin, 1756, tiis father being a subaltern in one
of the regiments that composed the then garri
son. He was brought tn London during his in
fancy, and, when seven years old, was sent to
school in the North of England. Here he
remained eight years ; during which time lie
imbd ed a passion for the stagt. His first thea
trical attempt was in a private play with tiis
school fellows, when lie performed Horatio, be
ing obliged to resign Hamlet, the character he
desired, to a senior boy ; but his triumph was an
ample compensation for tiis disappointment, as
Horatio, that night, ranaway with all the ap
plause from Hamlet. In 1771, he went to sea.
and afterwards was put out to a business-but
when he became his own master, he indulged
his inclination, and made his first appearance on
a public stage in Castalio, (the Orphan) at II*y
market theatre, for the benefit of Mrs. Massey
ivith so much success, that he resolved to make
it his profession. Accordingly he joined a pro
vincial company, and, having acquired a compe
tent knowledge of stage business, became the
hero at York, New Castle, Chester, .Manchester
Liverpool &c. &c. In 1794, lie Was engaged
by Mr. Daly, the then Dublin manager, where
he performed a season with such considerable
success, that he repeated his visit 1797, and re
mauled three years with the new manager Mr
Jones. Having then received an engagement
front Mr. Harris, he made his first appearance
at Covcnl Garden theatre Oct. 31, 1890 in
King Richard III, which he repeated several
nights, with so much success, that the manager
increased his salary, and gave him an early ben
. efit. H;s Shy lock, Sir Archy M’Sarcasm, I»go
j K'tely, Sir Giles Overreach, Macbeth, &c.have
■ given much satisfaction.
i ms actor, during Ins theatrical career, has
experienced both the frowns and smiles of for
tune The play of Richard 111 was intend, d
«nl, 5>Pr,!nSJ°fCovent Garden in the season
1801 ; but the deputy manager’s letter which
was addressed to Mr Cooke, at Manchester, an
prizing him thereot, was not received in time
in consequence of his departure from that town’
anu tl.c- very night that was announced for his
performance at Covent Garden, lie played for his
own benefit at New Castle, when in conse
quence of Ins exertions, he is said to have bro
k- n a blood vessfd, which retarded his return to
London, on Ins reappearance at Covent Gar
den, he made an apology, which was well r«*
ceived A kind of rivalship took place between
him and Mr Kemble, then at Dury lane, in the
character ol Richard, which produced 2 pain
pl.Iets, both partially written, the one in praise
of Cooke, and the other of Kemble Each r-en
tleinan has peculiar merit ; so had Sheridan
Mossop, Qiiin, Henderson, Smith, Ac who were I
also competitors in this part with Garrick — I
This rivalship, however, has terminated as Mr
Kemble belongs now to the same theatre, and
affairs are so amicably arranged, that Mr. Cooke
retain, his characters ; while at times, both per
formers frequently play togellier. 1
A hczpiiin X)ictionory.
George Cooke, is so well known as an actor
that my opinion can neither add to, nor diminish
Ins fame; were either in my power, panegyric
would run thro a dozen pages, and yet fall short
ol Ins merits In some characters lie is as much
superior to any actor of the present day, as Gar
rick was to those of his time ; but they are lim
i iieu to such parts as suit iiis figure, which wants
grace and proportion ; where these can be dis
pensed with, he has no competitor. As a man
the scholar, the friend, the life of every party an
enemy to scandal and detraction, and benevolent
even to imprudence-Ryley't Itinerant. ’

VICTOR HUGHE*.
Extract of a letter from Paris,dated Sep. 1, 1810
The first Council of War, of tlie first mili
tary division, after eight days deliberation has
closed its proceedings in the cause of the adju
tant Commander. Mr Victor Hughes, Member
of the Legion of Honor, Commissary of H. I. M
md Commander in Chief of the colony, of Cay
enne, and of French Guyana, S America. An
immense number of documents bad been put in
as evidence, and upwards of forty witnesses ex
amined The Commissary reporter (Judge Ad
vocate,) after a long and very luminous summing
up for prosecution, left the case to the wisdom of
the Court. A whole day was employed by the
prisoner’s advocate Mr. Fiieur, who made a most
eloquent and interesting speech, and the accused
himscll was heard upon the evidence ; after
which the court was cleared for about half an
hour. O.i the door being opened, the presiding
Genural publickly read the sentence, which de
clared rum con. that Mr V. Hughes, charged
krst, of not having done his utmost in defence
ol the colony; and, secondly, of liaviug capitu
lated with the Anglo Portuguese,* in order to
si'e his own plantations ..nd property, was Hot
Guilty / and that he should he forthwith set at
