Mr. Macon, in the Ilouse of Bepreientatives,
in one of his sullies of wit, in discussing the pro-
priety of postponing the immediate consideration
of the Bill to enforce the Embargo, observed, that
the Embargo, this time tacit.' months, was con-
sidered fly some, who have shice discovered her im-
perfections, as a most beautiful and accomplished
damsel, and wanted nothing but somebody to in-
troduce her, to he wooed by every gentleinati—
now she has all at once grown u;ly and deform
Mr. &goalie observed, that as the alkalosis of the
gentlematsmight he intended to apply to Min, Au
would tell the geutleinan, that it very atria hap-
pened, that young virgins Cn umeoreill their ca-
reer of faisliMaable gaiety and dissipation, perfectly
lure and chaste, tad afterwards turned out to
be filthy harlots.—That was the case with the
Embargo.
Mr. Livermore humorously remarked, that, for
his pert, he knew the yostug lady a prostitute front
his fir,' acquaintance with her, so that he had not
been disappoiuted or deceived in the character
which .he stow parsed for.
Mr. Macon replied, tin I he did not mean to iti•
sinuate that Mr. Sloane had indulged any im-
proper Commerce with her, since she became this
filthy harlot ; and as the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts admitted, that he knew her to he a pros-
titute, from his acquaintance with her, he (mild
not think of accusing him of any intercourse.—

A new candaate for theatrical fame, made
his debut at the Bath 'theatre, on Thursday night,
in the rof Marbeth. The Bath Herald, a
paper remarkable for the fairness and correctness of
its criticism, pronounces the following judgment
upon Iris nerforinance:—.. We were greatly sur-
pnscil to see a noviciate present lei with a delinen-
tion of the Scottish Tyrant, replete with good sense,
well conceived, and executed with a correctness of
discrimination and judgment, that would have re-
flected 110 small credit on a more experienced actor.
We are assured it was the first public effort this
Gentleman has made, and as such we consider it
our of the most promising we ever witnessed."
