flight—but in fact, so dreadful was the con
sternation that succeeded the defeat of ihe
unhappy natives of Tassere, as no doubt to
paralixe the minds of the wretched creature*
' When prompt consideration could alone be
serviceable 10 their deplorable condition —
The coiyp.itrurs appeared to anticipate With
inordinate delight the festival which this sad
event had gratified their horrible expects
tions. Forty two bo lies were exteuded on
•• one platform in Buliandam’s canoe——and
one of thet-e, a young female, appearing
most to attract his attention, he desired that
his second in command would have it lain by
for themselves.
The dead bodies were soon got into the
canoes, and the whole fleet left Tassere on
their return to the main island ; wnere ma
| nv others joined in the horrible festivity,
which was conducted with rude peals of ac_
clamation. Mr Smith Was on this occasion
also taken on shore by the great chief, and
here had again to experience a detestable
spectacle. Theb<Wies had beeu dismem
bered of their limbs, which were suspended
on the boughs of trees in readiness for cook
ery ; and afterwards part of a human leg
was offered to Mr Smith, who had never
broke his fast for five days. The offer he re
jected with abhorrence ; and upon his cap
tors appearing astonished at the refusal, he
- gave them to understand, that if he eat of
human flesh lie would instantly die — —
They we:e satisfied with this excuse, and
continued their abominable festivity the
whole night.
Mr.Smith was at length released, after
fasting nine da\ s ; as were also some of the
crew of tlul vessel, who had likewise been
taken prisoners.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF MERINOS IN THE
UNITED STATES.
JRxtract of a letter from Chancellor Living'
ston, to Mr. Custis of Arlington, da.ed
29th June, 1810.
My sheep shearing this year offers the
following curious and encouraging tacts :—
The average ot the fleeces of tr.y three
stock rants, was upwards of nine pounds
fourteen i unces ; and one of them weighed
31 lb. 11 oz. which sold at S 2 per lb. as it
came from the sheep’s back, i believe the
Uui ed States have never before witnessed
a fleece that sold as this did, at more than
•J5 23. The average of the ewes’ fleeces, the
■whole number being 196, was equallv inte
resting, as you will see from the following
statement:
'.Half b edewes averaged 5 lb. 1 oz heaviest
fleece,8 lb.
-3-4 do. do. 5lb. 3 oz. heaviest fleete, 7 lb.
9oz.
7_S do. do. 5 lb. 6 oz. heaviest fleece, 8 lb.
4 oz. . . ..
Pull bred do. Sib. 13 oz. heaviest fleece,
8 lb. 12 oz
Fi. m this it appears, that the weight ot
the fl ;eces is proportioned to the purity of
the blood, and that in crossing with these
•sheep we not onl- gain in the value of the
• wool, but in its quantity, which I am told is
more an object in your state than the qua_
litv. If so, cross your long wooled ewes with
the Clermont Merino Rams, and I am per
suaded that you will add to the weight of
their fleecci The nejet thing worthy of ob
servation is the improvement on my stock
since the last year; the. average of iny hill
bred ewes was then only. 5 b 2 >z this year
they have gained nine ounces per head, tho*
the keep w.,s exactly the same I attribute
this to two causes, first o the better seiec
tion of rams, which I am now able to make,
admitting none to my fl ck hat arc not verv,
fine &. i hat yield less th,in 9l:>. ot *> qo1; & nex 9
to 'he general improvement occasi ned by
keeping and climate, for it is upon the vnung
ewes .hat the gain is most—the old ones re
maining as they were last year. A third
inference from \hese facts is, that it will be
very practicable to have a flock of ewes,
whose fleeces shall average at least 8 lb.—
for if some give 3 lb. 12 os. and several 3
lb. there can be no doubt that when 1 begin
to select my ewes as 1 do my rams, and sell
those that have the lightest or coarsest flee
ces, I may bring them to 8 lb.-whicit is
about the standard ot the Rambouillet flock
——anu more than the double of the fl cks
o* Spain, it is by this mode of proceedure
that the flock of Rambouillet is so very su
perior to the Spanish flv;ks, both in the
quantity and the quality of the wool What
will be the s'ate ot our manufactures when
your farmers, instead of a few raggpil sheep,
keep P. >cks of 1000 Merinos, winch any
farm of 1000 acres may Convenitnly do l—
And let him add. what will be thediff rence
in the circumstances of the farmer, who re
ceives 16.000 Dollars a year for his wool,
•with l« -*«. expcnce than it costs him to make
>. 3000 Dollars by his tobacco ?
mill' CHANNEL TO GEORGETOWN.
The Corporation of Georgetown have n -
dopted measures tqr restoring their Ship
Channel, which had become obstructed by
flats and shoals, a short dis ance below the
Town, Thomas Moore and David Newlui
have contracted to put certain Wings and
^ other works into the River, so as to confine
the curt enr, and cause it to sweep along the
shore of the City of Washington, where the
bottom is soft, and easily moveable by an
enercas^d motion of the water. They are to
complete the wotks this season and to sup
pot ■. them for two years, for 8000 dollars.—
If at the end of that ti nc ‘here shali be lif
teen feet water, from the Eastern Branch
»p to Georgetown, they are to receive 2000
dollars more:—if there shall not be fifteen
feet water throughout, they are to expend,
ir iiti their own lands, a stun not exceeding
3000 dollars, in additional works and labor to
attain that object. 1 he Corporation of the
Citv ol Washuigton have concurred in the
measure, and sanctioned it by a public Act.
It-, success can hardly be doub ed, and it is
Confidently expected that very important ad
vantages will result therefrom, both to the

The Vine.—The season for planting vines
is now at hand; at the vineyard 14 miles from
this city, after a course of 20 years experi
ment upon vines of all climates and descrip
tions, it is found that the vine best adap
ted to the climate, and which will produce
a fine claret or red wine, is that of the Cape
of G'»ort ri'»pe, generally known by the name
of Coostantia, and from this plant we may
calculate to produce at no remote day, wine,
brandy, tartar, &c. sufficient for the whole
consumption of the continent.
This plant never fails to bear, it is not af
fected by mildew, nor by the colds of win
ter nor the heats of summer. In the Ian
guage of the vineyard this plant wefts or
bleeds about the 20th March in this latitude,
it is in leaf about the 1st of May, in flower on
the 6’h of June, and the fruit is formed on
the 4>h July ; the fruit is ripe on-.th XOth
■ September.——The berries are moderately
I large, inclining to an oval or olive shape,
| the color a bright chocolate or dark purple,
I and form handsome bunches.—The plant is
i a prolific bearer. The leaf is a medium
size, and has five lobes.
prapes of this plant are now becoming a
bundant in our market.
The season for planting should be improve

Paradoxes -—The Federalists say, that
they are the friends of commerce and a na
vy-j-and yet they suffer thousand- ol our sea

inglorious imprisonment on hoard of British
ships, without making any cff irt to break
their chains
They sit v, that they are the friends of com

which the British Orders and French De
crees.would smre it.
They cry out tor the honor and spirit of
the nation—and yet they submit to the mast
£' levous encroachments.
They protest against submission--ind
yet they urged the repeal of the Emb.ngo—
cry out against letters of Marque and Repri

favorite tool, the N ivy.
< They protess to be Federalists—friends
of union and of energy-and \et the E-,

Fellow Citizens,
For thirty years has the anni
versary of the battle of King’s-mountain,
been permitted to pass mm iticed by the peo
pie of this Counts A n.im .erof the citizens
ooserving *his neglect, have determined to
commemorate the day; and to offer a small
tribute of tes.iect to the remains of that pa*
trio ic b tnd who inarched from the County of
Washington, and participated in atchieving
that important victory They will be con.
vened toge-hey at Abingdon on the 6th of
October, with Coi. William Edmiston, at
their head, he being ’he oldest officer living,
who was there and can now be had
Y^u will then see the rem ains of a repub
lican phalanx.—-but a small part Indeed of
tne original; & thev fast advancing towards
the grave :—then let us seize the golden
moment to pay the living some honors ■—■—to
revere the dead, and to perpetuate the me
mory of a battle, in truth the best—the
brightest in the American Revolution.
Previous to that b ittle the British were
every where successful. Their troops aided
by the Tories were in the daily habit of per
petrating the most savage and murderous
acts—and wherever they (ought, their irms
were victorious. Our councils were we .k—
we had no laws—no government, and the
firmest patriot began to despair.——It was
then that the battle on King’s mountain was
fought--fought by m«h who knew all our
wants—who knew the precarious ground on
which they stood. Their homes were far
removed from the inroads of Britain’s slaves,
but they saw their country in danger
they, marched—they fought—they conquer
ed and they stopt the current of British suc
cess.
Shall we th ir followers, who enjoy a!l
the advantages of that clay, permit those
who partook in its dangers to pass on to the
grave unnoticed amoHg us f Is there a man
whose heart has ever beat with patriotic
warmth, or who has felt the glow of grati
tude* for important services, who will thro’
choice be absent from this celebra’ion ? If
there is one such aiming us, he possesses a
quality repugnant to virtue -- is an enemy
of his country, and curses the success of that
day.
There may he. some who remember the
occurrences of those times with secret i«;,ret.
I'hcy have their gviets, and they hast long
since lost thr hope of twr repaying to their
country the debt of def ecation then incur
red. You will see th< » men grow pale and
sicken at the name of Ku«?’ mountain——
they will stand aloof—they earner trust ttieir
nerves wi h the celebration of that da) —
When your bt s >ms glow in anticipating thr
7th of October, and you see one eMier filet**,
pale or adverse on that subject, test assure l
' his heart is • otten—siiuahnu a» a pestilence.

He may throw difficulties in the way, such
as distance and expence but ask net hi9
opininn—speak to him whose bosom swells
when he is named who fought in the battles
of his c-uhury. Such an one can find no
difficulty in honoring those who fough- and
died, that we inig'n live fr?e fit nappy. We
therefore hope that on that day no citizen of

You will murmur, perhaps, Mr. Editor, at
being again troubled with another Theatri
cal critique, .in truth you would have much
reason to do in, were these effusions ever
designed to be intruded in the places of more
important matter. 1 think proper to assure
you therefore, at the very out..set, that I
shall pot be mortified, if my simp'e remarks
are posponed either to a ministerial com
riiuni.cation, an imperial decree or a chWp
ter on Merino sheep. Indeed. 1 should hot
perhaps have troubled you at all. had I not
been a confirmed enemy of every species of
Monopoly, and really deemed it a moral du
ty to admonish justice that her scales are
not held even. Surely. Mt Editor, as there
are different degiees of merit, there ought
to be different degress of commendation, for
it he who is barely the best, were allowed
to engross the whole tribute of praise, dis
couraging, indeed, would be the lot of res
pectable infenonty. O' whaf avail is it at
this time of day, to blazon the names of
Placide, of Green, andnfTwaits? When
we hear it said, »bat nature heiself breathes
in the action of Mrs Placide, that hereve_
ry movement confirms us in that species of
enchanting illusion, which makes us forget
that we are deceived ; when we heat it said
that the excellence nn<i universality of Mr
Green’s tal ms have juvly procured him a
conspicuous seat among the ,/lrat actor* of
our country ; when we hear it said tha*
bursts of extravagant applause ever mark
the appearance of Mr. Twaits, and thar the
comic muse has been delighted to decorate
his brow with the richest wreathe ; Do we
not know, sir, that we have heard the same
remarks an hundred times before ? Will
not these same characters themselves, at
length grow weary of these truths, .a id
call them adul.itipn ? Much better were it
instead of lavishing praise, where praise
can add no fame, lo .ake aspiring genius by
the hand & help it from obscurity. - ,
• It has evidently* been a longtime, since the
Richmond boards were so highly honored as
during the present season. 'Pile pieces have
in general, been judiciously selected, the
characters admirably adapted, and univer
sally filled with distinguished credit. Mr.
| Rutherlord has, I understand, been long
| known to the people of Richmond, aliho’ he
had little reason perhaps tobiust of the ac
| qti iintance. It has been .his unfortunate d :s
| uny to be made the subject of much fihra.
1 doxical conduct. As an actor, his* name
I stands fair on .lie records of merit and it may
j not be amiss to admonish the public, that
j while every body is ready to applaud his
powers, no one lends them encourage nent.
| Mr. Collins in his line, certainly possesses
[considerable merit, and Mr. Young is well
calculated tweet a conspicuous part in
genteel comedy But the object of these re
marks, Mr. Editor, is yet behind the curtain.
It is true, a man who has ever been accus
tomed to esteem modcsixj and woman syno_
nymous terms, and who has alwavs been
more ready to kneel at theshune of beauty
than before the image of a saint, feels some
diffidence in introducing a lady jn the co
lumns of a news paper. Yet he gathers
strength from the resolution,that no observa
tion of his shall tinge the cheek of modesty
with ablush nor cast one stain on the vestal
robe of virtue. Thus self justified, he enters
; mi me casK, connnentiy neuevmg tnat the
public will be prepared 10 welcome with
the same approbation which marks her
entrance on the stage, the introduction cf
Mrs. Po* From an actress who posseise*
so eminently the facul'y of pleasing, whose
powers are so general and whose exerti'
ons are so ready, it would oe unjust to with
hold the tribute of applause. Were I to say
simply (hat she is a valuable acquisition to
the. Fheitre, I should dishonor her merit
and do injustice to the feelings of the public.
It is true she has never yet been called to
the higher characters in tragedy* and it is
proper that site never should be for she who
is so well calculated to fill the hear* with
pleasure,should never he required to shroud it
iu gloom. On the first moment ot her en.
trance on she Richmond boards, she was
saluted with the plaudi sof admiration, and
at no one moment since ha3 her reputation
sunk. Her “exits and her entrances,” e
quatlv operate their electric effects, for if
v/e expect to he pleased when Mrs. Poe ap„
pears, when her part is ended, ouradinirati
on ever proclaims that our anticipations
have been m >re than realised. It is need
less to review the various characters in
which her excellence has been displayed. I
I think I may be pardoned for asserting, that
taking her performances from the com
rncncement to the end, no one has acquitted
himself with more distinguished honor. It
it be excellent to satisfy the judgment and
delight the heart, then Mrs. Poe is excellent.
Il it be the perfection of acting to conceal
the actor, Mrs. Poe’s name is a brilliant
gem in the Thcatrick crown. In a word, as
no one has received more than she ot the
public applause, no one is better entitled to
the public liberality.
Were I to say more, Mr. Editor, perhaps
I should forget the character I have assum
ed. In regard to Mr9. Poe, for a reason
which the glass wdl her, it is a difficult
thing to separate the actresn from the wo
wan ; no wonder then, if it should be also
difficult to separate the critic from the man.
F.ven were Aristarchus himself to rise from
the dead to sit in judgment on her acting,
he would find it ie'« sarv to put asiro g
curb upon his feelmgs. For if he did not,
uiHtaul of ciiticwing the /iluycr, he might
^
find himself perhaps, in the situation of
Shakspear’s Slender, dolefully heaving tl.e
lover’s sigh and pathetically exclaiming,
| “ Oh ! sweet Anna Page *’

. plaisance, I will bid you good night-firs*

that on this night, the full horn of plenty
