RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloons, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
SOLITUDE.
By Miss C. M. WARREN, of Rhode Island.
Sweet are the still sequester'd groves, Where musing melancholy roves At eve unseen; Where musing melancholy roves And heavenly contemplation loves To haunt the green.
The lonely cot, the secret cell, Where sober sadness loves to dwell, Are dear to me: Dear is the slow, mean-dringing brook, And dear the shade of yon broad oak, My favorite tree.
There oft as evening's dusky shade Envelope's every silent glade, I pensive stray; And while the last faint beams of light, Retreating, leave the world to night, I mark their way.
Dear solitude, thou placid queen, Of sober brow and look serene, Thy shades I love; For heaven born genius marks the way, And where thy gentle footsteps stray, The muses rove.
Oh! guide me to thy blest retreat, The still sequester'd silent seat Of sacred peace; Where not a breath of passion rude, Or blighting envy dare intrude, To damp my bliss.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
THEATRICAL HUBBUB.
OR JOHN BULL, versus JOHN KEMBLE.
Our readers are aware that there have been for many years past, only two regular winter theatres in London; those of Drury Lane and Covent Garden. Both these theatres were lately burnt down; and while the embarrassments in which the proprietors of the former were involved, leaves their theatre, like their finances, in a confused heap of ruins—Covent Garden Theatre has been rebuilt in about nine months, and opened on the 18th September; when in the true spirit of monopoly the prices of admittance were raised. This it seems, John Bull was determined to resist, and a systematic opposition has been accordingly made, every night since the opening of the theatre by a sort of peaceable rioting, which, it is conceived does not warrant the interference of the police. It consists of a confused din of every species of noise—hissing, hooting, whistles, bugle horns, cat calls, haranguing, and shrieking, which nightly overpowers the dialogue and song of the actors and reduces them to mutes.
Great numbers of persons have been nightly sent into the house by orders, to form a party in favor of the managers; but the greatest part of these have joined the people, who seem resolved, in spite of constables and Bow street officers, to be sovereigns at least in the theatre; the noise has been diversified by innumerable boxing matches, in pit, boxes and galleries, and many champions from each have been taken into custody. The crowd insist and persist still—not only as to the reduction of prices, but they do not like the arrangement of private boxes, and the suspected intention of refinement on the drama by the introduction of Italian singing with Madame Catalani.—Among the labels and placards scattered about the house, the London papers give the following.
 "Britons! be firm and conquer."  "No Managers. Riotous Ruffians!"  "The Voice of the Public is the Voice of Justice."  "Steady Boys!—Steady!"  "Make no noise—John's head aitches!"  "No CATALANI!—DICKSON for ever!"  "Harris will—but Kemble won't."  "Boxes, be firm!"  "KEMBLE, remember the Dublin Tinker!"  "John Kemble vs. John Bull."  "No advance—no Private (alias Annual) Boxes!"  "No Bow-street officers!—Persevere and succeed!"  "No Stage Trick!"  "Old Pay—or no Play!"  "A little common sense, Mr. Kemble—No advance."  A representation of Kemble suspended from a gallows—motto "A cure for my aitches!"
Mr. Kemble has frequently addressed the house, proposing a reference of the contested points, but the audience seem determined upon the reduction of the prices; and if they persevere they must ultimately succeed. Among the jeu d'esprit which this contest has given birth to, is the following:
This is the House that Jack built. These are the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
These are the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is the Cat—, engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is JOHN BULL with a Bugle horn, that hissed the Cat—, engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is the Thief-taker shaven and shorn That took up JOHN BULL with his Bugle horn, who hissed the Cat—, engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
This is the Manager full of scorn! Who RAISED THE PRICE to the people forlorn.
And directed the Thief-taker shaven and shorn
To take up JOHN BULL with his Bugle horn, who hissed the Cat—, engaged to squall to the poor in the Pigeon holes over the boxes let to the great that visit the house that Jack built.
The contest which had been continued nightly, far from being subdued, seemed to have acquired additional strength and consistency on Saturday, when the curtain rose amidst a full chorus of cat-calls, rattles, trumpets whistles, &c. Among the many new placards displayed were "British merit forever, and no Catalani!"
Another displayed a coffin with the epitaph,
"Here lies the body of NEW PRICE, an ugly child and base born who died of the whooping cough."
"John Bull, John Bull, be merry, bold and resolute!"
"Tear not to shew disapprobation, But freely keep your noisy station, For none of Kemble born, Can GULL a British Nation."
"John Kemble alone is the cause of this riot, When he lowers his Prices, John Bull will be quiet."
At length, after a hubbub of some hours, Mr. Kemble proposed from the stage, that the points in dispute should be investigated by a committee of disinterested persons, and till their decision be known the house should be shut up—and in the mean time he assured the audience that Madame Catalani's engagement at that house was at an end.—This declaration and arrangement was received with the shouts of victory and here the business rests.
FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER.
"Faction either finds a man a villain, or makes him so" JOHNSON
A thorough-going party man is rarely honest. That full and entire surrender of feelings, principles and actions, which the spirit of party requires of its subjects, is ever inconsistent with liberty and virtue. It is a servitude of opinion, more intolerable and more degrading than corporeal slavery, inasmuch as the mind is more honorable than the body. It is destructive of virtue, for it warps all honorable feelings, and puts its foot on the neck of morality. It makes us regard political, as private, not private as political virtue. It makes us Lynx-eyed to discern the failings of our opponents, and blind to the sins of our party. It compels a man to support the dishonest, and vindicate the guilty, to rally round a popular demagogue, and caress those whom he despises. Such is the nature of party spirit and its effects are ever ruinous. It is the bane of republics, which it never fails to destroy, when unopposed by the general diffusion of knowledge and love of virtue. Occasions of this kind, when licentiousness has got the better of rational liberty, when the people's will has taken the reins from their reason, and bad or weak men have acquired an improper ascendancy, have produced and justified the severe censure which wise men of every age have cast upon the government of the many.
"The majority are wicked" (said Bion) one of the seven sages of Greece; and the history of his country at many periods confirmed the remark. He would, perhaps, have been more correct had he said, the majority are foolish and their guides are wicked, for I believe that the elevation of bad men is rather founded in ignorance than approbation of their characters. Hence all the hypocritic arts, by which demagogues
conceal their own motives, and assume with so much success the appearance of patriotism and regard for the public good. History teems with these audacious artifices, nor is the present age entirely destitute of their influence. It is so much easier to seem than to be virtuous: it is so much easier to bawl about the rights of the people, than to understand or to support them, that among the mass of the people, most of whom have not time, and many of whom have not talents to reflect and compare words with actions, the noisy, the illiterate and the designing too often succeed in their attempts. CLEON, a bold, ignorant, corrupt artisan, foiled the eloquent orator and statesman PERICLES in the contest for power, and ruined the learned and elegant city of Athens, from which Aristides was gracefully banished.
The villainous expedient of Pericles gained him the public commiseration, and he soon compelled those who wept for his sufferings to weep for their own. The Athenian liberties were the sacrifice to his ambition. The accomplished orator Cicero, who quelled the Catilinarian conspiracy and saved his country, was banished by the acts of Clodius. But his country fell with its preserver, and Rome never again unfurled the republican banner. The French revolution was, throughout, a display of the mad rage of the populace, freed from the trammels of religion, law and order, blindly yielding their affections to unprincipled and sanguinary demagogues. Its conclusion is completely illustrative of the catastrophe which must ever terminate the drama of popular delusion. The people of France forg'd the fetters with which they have been chained, and thought their liberties secured when they were entrusted to Bonaparte.—A majority of our countrymen elevated to the second office in their empire, a man to whom they now deny the rights of hospitality, and have exemplified in unmeasured support of col. Barr, how apt the people are to be deceived, & how fatal often proves their deception.
Since history is fraught with instances in which the people have been the victims of their own credulity and the arts of wicked men and since a republic can only last, while under the regulation of talents and virtue, it behoves us to guard against impostors, and avert, as long as possible, the destruction of our liberties. If we have been deceived, let us be so no longer. When we see the pernicious effects of democracy around us, we should be careful to whom we delegate the office of rulers. The support which bad men at first receive through ignorance, if continued when they are known, is criminal. We should guard against it from the commencement. We should remember that true patriotism is ever known by actions, never by clamor. No display of public zeal, no ostentatious encouragement of Homespun Manufactories, no bawling about "Liberty, the Constitution, and the Laws," constitute a real friend to his country. They are the nets with which the ambitious catch popularity. But it is no way to deserve it. A man's dress is a very equivocal sign of patriotism. It may as well be made to dissignate his morals or his learning. We expect in a clergyman something more than a clerical garb, and in a politician we have a right to look for more than ostentation and clamor, which may indicate the strength of his lungs, but not the purity of his heart. Against these arts we should be more cautious, for they are reduced to system and are now in familiar use. They are the signs which mark the candidates for public favor. Services are out of date. Pretensions are all efficient. The veteran, who fought in the revolution, whose life has been devoted to his country, finds his patriotism questioned, and is called a Tory, by men who carry all their patriotism on their back. We should beware of the influence of such men and such motives. When we yield to them we are under the dominion of vice and folly. When we support them, we realize the fate of all the republics that have preceded us. We trample on the bright records of our honor, we walk through the gates of anarchy, to the valley of death.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27.
Facts respecting the British minister. — We averred in many successive papers, that the paragraphs of the Intelligencer respecting the rupture with this minister were false and fabricated. This we did from a knowledge we possessed, that the chief statement was a gross misrepresentation. But we had no conception of the extent of the profligate falsehoods, with which that paper has dared to abuse and deceive the people. From the hesitation which it was so natural for cautious men to feel in such circumstances, and the desire to expose the truth in its true colors, we some days ago wrote for the facts to a friend in Washington, who moves in a circle enabling him to obtain correct intelligence. Yesterday evening, when the matter for our paper was too nearly completed to admit of sufficient room for his whole communication, we received his answer.—The following is a contraction of his statement.
On Saturday preceding the Intelligencer's manifesto, Mr. Jackson did send not for a passport to leave the country, but for a safeguard for himself and family, foreseeing what has since happened, that as soon as government had broken off communication with him, an attempt would be made to influence the passions of the people, and to violence, to which they had before been rendered prone by the same pens, which afterwards pretended to calm them. Mr. R. Smith was expressly informed, that the minister did not intend to leave the country. On the Monday, before he knew that the rupture was published, a notification was given of the minister's intention to remove from Washington, accompanied with such explanations as might have led to an accommodation if desired. An inclination was even shown to further explanations, which was abruptly refused by Mr. Smith, unless the minister would consent to say, that was not a fact, which he had before been told by the same secretary was a fact.
There has been no impeachment of veracity. Mr. Jackson took Mr. Erskine's statement as he found it (which is not verbal but written ) without vouching for the correctness of it. He would have received Mr. Smith's contradiction, as he says in the same manner, if Mr. Smith had given one, which he did not, and that he had nothing to do with the veracity of either party, but to take the fact officially stated by the one and admitted by the other, to wit, that three conditions, forming the whole substance of the instructions of the 23d January, had been not only communicated but expatiated upon a considerable length.
This is a fact and no insinuation, and beyond this, he declares, nothing was meant nor said. There was no intemperate or indecorous language used , but only a resistance to an attack upon the independence of a foreign minister, who, it is to be remembered, treats upon a footing of perfect equality, and who would be condemned by his government if he submitted to be schooled.

We have seen (says the Editor of the Philadelphia Gazette) capt. Turley of the schr Phebe, from Carthagena, in South America, who has assured us, that not only the declaration of independence of Quito was certain, and that troops were marching from every quarter to suppress it, but that he himself had seen troops in readiness for proceeding there, but such an indifference was apparent on the part of the said troops that they seemed more inclined to support the cause of their countrymen than disposed to subdue it. This revolution in the province of Quito, appears to us as a spark which will extend rapidly over the whole continent of South America, and in the present circumstances, is the only means by which that country can be rescued from the dominion of Bonaparte.

Wm. C. NEWTON. DIRECTIONS HOW TO USE YARWOOD'S
Patent Washing Machine.
First fill the barrel half full of your finest cloths, then fill the bottom of the Reservoir with hot suds up to the side planks, turn the Crank backwards and forwards so as to make the cloaths fall the hardest against the sides of the barrel for about twenty-five minutes, then use the same suds with a little more soap and hot water for the next finest cloaths, until the suds are unfit for use, then second your cloaths in the same way with boiling suds, after rubbing a little soap on the dirtiest parts of the cloaths; then rinse them in the machine in warm or cold water.
