EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ON BOARD' LA
POMONE, DATED PORT: MAIION, AUG. 20.

" The Phoenix, Pearl, and ourselves, fell in with
a French Frigate and her Convoy, on the 3d inst. ;
our superior sailing brought us up-with the Frigate
first ; and we.engaged and took hpr before the other.
two Frigates could get within gun-shot. She struck
after a close aetion of half an hour. She is
.called,
Le Carriere,• a very fine Frigate, almost new,
mounts 44.. guns, and carries 390 men. This Fri-
gate was bound to the Island of Elba, with bat-
tering Cannon, Powder, &c. for the French Troops
who are besieging Porto-Ferrajo. We had one of
the Marine Officers, the Boatswain,, a Quarter-
master; and one Seaman killed; the Master and-,
three Seamen - wounded ; one of them since died in
the hospital. We took four other Prizes off Elba, one
of them since retaken, with our Lieutenant Nagl.:,
and seven men on board : another foUndered. "j•wc,
of them are safe With us at Minorca. We lately
engaged three Batteries near Barcelor,:a, for four
hours, and ,druve part of a CQi-1VQ3.7 •ot4 shore and

destroyed, them'. , Our First got blown
up, but is since.recovered."

We learb from GU': Correspondent at Dover; that
on the zSth Set:,`,:C!mber, His, Majesty's Ship Sylph,
engaged a_ 44. gun French Frigate for two hours and
five nv:nutes, when the latter bore up and made sail,
QWlng to the main top-mast of the Sylph being shoi
away, in consequence .of which she could not follow.
The Sylph had only one wounded;- owing to her
getting on the Frigate's weather-bow, and raking
her the, whole time. .

THE THEATRE.

Cavent Carden.

MR. SIDDONS made his third apfearance• lass
night at this Theatre, in the charaler of Hamlet.:
There is, perhaps, no charader in the whole
round 'of the Drama thatdemands a greater assem-
blage of powers, intelle tualaßd corporeal ; and 3
man may be a very,kood aaor without approaching
the heights of this-difficult part. Mr. ,SiDDONS, 14
the great'outline of the charaaer, certainly follows
the traces 'of his Uncle, but he exhibited-some strokes
in the colouring, very creditable to his own judg-
ment and talents. His voice is not very well
adapted to level speaking, and, therefore,, he was
least successful in the declamatory passages, - parti-
cularly as be has too elaborate a precision in his ut-
terance. When, however, he: was animated by
passion, this artificial-studied manner .gave.wfty.-to
the force of nature. He introduced some pasoges
of the original text, which are not generally spoken,
and hence gave some novelty to a part which fre"
.quent repetition has familiarized to the public
mind.

The good sense which Mr.'SIDDONS evidently
possesses, will effcClually secure him fiom miscon-
ception in the general idea of a.part, and he should
'endeavour to guard himself chiefly from minor faults'
Hence he must strive to divest himself of tha;
laborious accuracy in his enunciation, to-which We
have Overfed, as well- as of an interjectional adds*
lion, not only to every sentence. he- delivers, but
sometimes to many words in a scntence This is
a,fault that demands particular attention, as it is.§o
cOtinnOn on the -Stage that we hardly know one
Performer, Comic or Tragic, who is exempt froto
a.- We 'consider Mr. Stonow s as one of the most
•
r 0r:45 Mg. A -44.L.5 t tbc..l4Pndon Stages
and in this opinion we are obviously supported by
the Public,- who' observe him with attention, aP°
- •
applaud.- him with. zeal., , .

• Mrs. H. Joxic.sTorris a pleasing young woman'
but she is whoiily unfit for Ophe/io, which !eclair-a
.amoredignified simplicity of manner than she hoi,
attained. The language of SHAICESPEAftg indeed
'is too weighty for her, and it' is to be rt'
gtetted that...so.ag.rerable.a young.A.etreas should 1;4
till;erl out of her.: province. The part should bf
given to Miss- Mni.R4Y.
The charafter of Pohnius is generally rendered WO
fdrcical, To the credit .of MtINDEN it should be
mentioned, that though be contrives to introduce
little sy waggery into it, he rescues the part froro
t4e-buffecinery by whieb.4 lias been too often dim

SUN.OFFICE,

HALF PAST ONE, P. M.

WE have this moment received, BY EXPRESS,
Paris Papers to the i ith instant.
They contain the Treaty of Peace between France
and Portugal, which we shall lay before ourßeaders
tomorrow.

These Papers are wholly barren of intelligence.

An article from Genoa, of the 24th ult. states,
that their Port is again open, the English having
disappeared from their Coast.

The discussion is closed in the Germanic Diet,
relative to Indemnities. The majority of votes is
for a Deputation of the Empire. It is believed
that Ratisbon will be the place of that Deputation.
The account of the signing the Preliminaries of
Peace between Great Britain and France, has caused
the greatest joy wherever it has spread, throughout
the Continent. On the 6th, it was announced at
Strasburgh by the Telegraph ; and as that is the
birth-place of M. OTTO, the people celebrated the
news with the greatest exultation.
The French Tiers Consolide were on the 9th at
55. 70.

The following Letter was sent to the French Pri-
soners confined in Portchester Castle, on the Preii-
rninaries of Peace biting signed :

" Citizens—l am eager to inform you that the Prelimina-
ries of Peace between the French Republic and. Great Bri-
tain were signed last night at London. May these happy
tidings resound throughout the Prisons; and may each of
your comrades of mistbrtune learn that the moment of his
deliverance is not far off. Assure them of the interest that
their critical situation has always inspired me with, and that
I shall employ myself without intermission, with the means
by which they may be restored to liberty and their, families.
Health and Fraternity.
(Signed) " OTTO."

The entertainments concluded at Drury-tine
Theatre in the midst of the storm on -Saturday
night, ' which produced the greatest consternation
in the crowded Coke-rooms and Lobbies, where
the lightning flashed while the thunder roared.—Se-
veral Ladies fainted, and the shrieks and groans of
others were awful. Half_a_guinea was given to a
hackney-roach for a shilling fare, and even at that
price it was difficult to obtain a conveyance,
A very ludicrous case-of Crim. Con. is likely to
engage the attention of the Court of King's-Bench
next term, in which the, parties are two Attornies.
It is not yet decided which is to be Plaintiff, as
both parties have been equally guilty of trespass;
and a set-of might, with great moral propriety,
though perhaps not ir,,,;ad?y, be pleaded by either
side.
General LAU R !STOW'S good fortune is certainly
not small. He is not only to be the bearer of good
news, bat as won as hearrives, is"to find an Estate

PATRIOTIC ORATION;

DELIVERED ON SATURDAY, OCT.

'Tis now, my good Friends, twerity-one years ago,
-Since for Westminster .I became Member, you know.
A long, struggle I made, and at last I got in,
But Who were my Ifcters I car'd not a pin.
To oppose, right or wrong, those in Pow'r; was my plan,
This for you was enough, and you made meyour
'Twas fiaternig to me to be marled by your choice,
But more flattering effecis were atchiev'd by my voice;
For, united with other great men, 'twas my pride,
From BRITAIN her COLONIES soon to divide.

In the late War with FRANCE I still took`thc.same part,
For I own Opposition is clear to my heart ;
Since for many long !. ears I have found it in vain,
To offer myself for Employment again.
The result of the American \Vat is most cleat—
It confirm'd a L;rand principle we all revere—
It confirm'd a great truth, tint tho' Courtiers will probe,-
-RxvoLur lox must triumph all over the Globe.

You have seen many faults in my conduCl, I fear,
But know, in the cause of the ilLb I'm sincere,
Wherever they rise, -whatever mischiefs they reach,
They shall have my assistance, at least in a Speech.
And hence I pronounc'd it a very bad thing,
To say ,to all Frenchmen " you must choose a King."
But, if said or not said, 'tis no matter, d'yc see,
For the cry prov'd a very good w.itch.st,crd for me,
We had no right to check the republican axe,
Or, without their consent, the Am:RIC AN s tax.

Such a war to oppose will be always my plan,
I oppos'd it indeed long " before it began ;''
And yOti hence may infer that I fu;ly•inteild;
To appose it again, tho' tis new at an end.
In this City I'm sanguine enough then to hOpe
That none can be found who would doom me a rope.

This War, we perceive, is at last then to cease,
And I .look • with the eyes of a friend upon PEACE,
In hopes of new contests it bears not the germs,
I will not too rigidly canvass the Terms.

There are two ways indeed that the point may be weightd,
The Terms of the Peace, and the time When 'twas made;
The Terms arc of little importance, I' think,
And, therefore, that part of the question Pi/blink.
An Island or two in the East or the.Wesf,
In themselves are, perhaps, no great matters at best,
But are things of much value, indeed, I maintain,
Compard with ayears or a month's new campaign.

I wish, as to time, I as little.could say,
But I something must blame,Zor I'm cut of my..tvgy ;
Yet do not suppose I think Peace comes too soon,
No, come when it will, 'tis a very great-boon ;
But though I rejoice that all warfare is o'er,
We could Peace, Um persuaded, have had long before;
And I ask, with some confidence, whether or no,
We might not have had it full twoJears ago—
And if France was net then well inclin3d to concede
The very same terms on which now we've agreed
You, my friends, then foresaw, with discernment most
shrewd.
The result of the measures which then were fmrsu'd,
You petition'd for Peace, but your pray'rs were not heard,
For a change in the Ministty—nene of them stir'd.—
At length, as we know, a few Members went out,
But as to a change, I am still in a doubt.
Of those who succeeded I did not 'think high,
To you, my good friends, I need hardly say why,
Since I and my Party once more were :burs, by.

Seine complain that we gain not our obje& in war,
But that was an ohjeii-. my soul must abhor.
For what was that obj..2a, I beg leave to say,
But the hope of restoring Monarchical sway.
By the Terms of the PEAci, both in spirit and letter,
We give up this hope, and hike it the better.
We have lost much, ray Friends, but had reason to fear, :
The loss of much more, had Peace;stay'd:till next year;
But abroad' now our feelings, no longei need roam,
And at least we may try to da ione:hing at home.
Then rejoice that Wt. 's gone, that great Cask for the worm 4
Give welcome to PEACE, and ne'cr canvass the Terms.

On Friday a grand illumination took place, oti
account of Peace, in Plymouth. A number of
elegant and appropriate transparencies were exhi-
bited on the Hoe. There was a bonfire of 7.00
pitch, tar, and oil barrels, which had a grand
effea. The ships in the. Sound and Cawsand Bay
had their top lights out, and displayed a profusion
of blue false lights, and beautiful sky and star
rockets.

Several persons apprehended for firing off pistols,
squibs, &c. in the street on Saturday, were brought
before the Magistrates at Bow-stieet yesterday, and
dismissed on their promise of riot being guilty of
the like in future.

Arri.EsttAw FAIR.--The Flow of borsetsbire
and Somersetshire Ewes, previous to Weyhill Fair,
was held at Appleshaw. as usual, on Thursday and
Friday last. The number was not so great as on
former years, a circumstance accounted for by the
unwillingness of the breeders to sell, on. account
of the hixuriant growth of food on every farm.
The number was, however, upwards of . ts,ooo,
and the sale was very brisk : the prime forward
Ewes were sold at an early hour the first day, and
the remainder early the second day ; not a Ewe
remained unsold. The prices were from 38s. to
.655. a head.

A wooden house which stood on Little Tower
Hill, called True Blue, and which was a rendezvous
for Volunteer Seamen, was wilfully set on fire about
eleven o'clock in the forenoon of yesterday, by some
boys, and was burnt down in two hours.
On Friday morning last, about five o'clock, a
young female, very genteelly dressed, was taken
out of a ditch in Horsernonger-lane, in a state of
apparent insensibility. It was with the greatest
difficulty that the people extricated the unhappy girl,
as she had got far under some arch work, where she
was almost hid in the mud. She was taken to an
adjoining house, and every comfort administered,
but no account could be obtained of the manner that
led to her deplorable situation,
