the Hete ArMed Ship, and fourteen merchant Ships
under convoy, all from Longlione; ike. except .a
Ship, half loaded, for LOntOr, the name of which
the Captain thinks was tlielßertagoes Packet. A
Frigate pasied up tfiPtiittegat the. -day before the
Fleet sailed ; and a Ship of the Line was cruizing
.off the Schaw. X Messenger from- Russia•had-ar.-

.It was currently reported at
Stromstadt, that the .Dsnes Were in motion to attack
Swedeo,.and'tfint 15,000 men were on their march

Captain Doilitc.x., of the Ship Governor, Mills,'
has arrived in town from Jactietel, in .St. Domingo.
He left the fsland on the sth ult. and gives a.very
different account of- the Confliets between PETION
and. CHRISTUPLIE 4041)tliat which has been circu-
lated on the authority, of More recent advicps.
Captain. D. confirms the statement, that' three
distina engagement's :64k 01a-co before the Fort of
St. Marc;' but he assvta tha4none of them were at-
tended with disastrous' donseritiences to

Both parties claimed.the viclory'after the list e'en-.
centre ; yet it is?reasobatile taitTppose that.Periche.s
fames were worsted, bechuile they retired to 'Some
fortifications under a large hill at' a short distanee.—
PETION'S army, it was exPeCled; woeld be.shortly
reinforced; and General Boturrg was to resign the
-command in favour olakillasitts,,,a-.' Black General
of.great renown.. I.'he 'next attack upon Fort St. •
Marc; it was thought; would take place about the
latter end of November, and-the tollo*ers of PE r rox
promisel themselves completeo.sheeess. Prriwz's'
army had been ailing offensively fur 'son-10 i me. past .
Fort.:St. Marc, which has beeti,alie grand obleift of
attack, lies, in 'the center of CI&RISTOPHE'S territo-
riea., PETIoN'S forces, aro in possession of Port-tle-
Nix,. Port-au-Prince, Cope Nicola Mole, and sever
ral,sother strong places., l'ertox himself was con-
ii,ried at Port-au-Prince by illness.
The. Generals on. hatlysides Are exceeding rich ;
they are open to bribery, and it is :necessary to keep
u_watchful.eye over' them.. Capt. MURICK, in the
Gpv,enztV Mills, sailed in compapy with the ratal.
Off Cape Francois, a French Privateer attempted to.,
captere the, Vestal in a calm, when the, Governor
having some guns on board,horedowntolieraatistanee,

molest him,: prcvide4

persons, among whom were a woman. and child,

some conversation I took them on board, and limn

from Monte Video on the , 9th of August, in the
Ship. .41o:under • Captain..RiClll.RD fIowARD, an
English Transport Ship.:-No. 421: They had sailed
under-convoy of the Frigate Unicorn and Thetis
Sloop of War.. There were about 110 persons on
board, the wilerander—that- on, the 20th October,
the Ship being in a very leaky condition, they were
under the necessity of carrying short sail, by.which
eans.they boat the convoy ; and ow the 22d. the
leak increaaed to such a degree; that with both
ptunPs 'goings and balling at the .hatchways„, they
could not. lteep.her frees. The Captain. thought it
advisable to quit the Ship,, took a small boat for
his preservation, and roved around the Ship sev,e.
rat times. Meantime, the Long-boat was got ready
and hoisted oqt, but unfortunately bilged in going
over the Ship's side. Thirteen sailors, 15 soldiers,
one woman and child, .hoWever, kept in' the
boat, and found means to keep her .front sinking,
They had not got tar off, when the Ship seemingly
blew up, and feendered immediately. This was
about ten o'clock P. M. They afterwards spoke
with the Captain in the'sinall boat, who told. them
to steer N. it. N. E. by N. as that course would
carry theM neaeL•;' .ast of England; from which
lie said they were it short distance. They had

with provisions myself, for so large a number),

up and spoke. I informed the Captain 'of ,the

,the relurn of. Mrs. H. Jo x` scow last night to.
tliti'lle:etre, drew a Very-largeaudience, in cause
11,quence-of a report, generally prevalent, thatshe
ppre: a very strong opposition to encounter,
on account of a dotnestic'event which has occasioned-
a separation from her-busband and her numerous
offspring. •
The part of Beatrice, chosen for her first appear-
ance on this occasion, was very injudiciously seetct-
ecl,''as it' abotinds with-passages which her enemies
1-hidlOo.thany opportunities of -applying to the event
alluded.to. ' • , :

When she first appeared she was saluted with very
-strong - marks of public displeasure, insomuch that
it seethed very probable that she Avould4not besuf!
letilifte proceed- in her performance. This displea;-
sure,- was. reni*ed many times, though gradually
fainter and fainter, through the first two acts, but
at-length the'gried setise of the audience effectually
tiitiMphed over-the hostile party, end she occasion-.
ally:received marks of applause uuring,the remainder
of her performance. She appeared at first to be
evidently much disconcerted by ibis rough reception,
but her-firmness increase&with the increasing good,
nature of 'the audience, and she sustained the ,ptut
during the-last thred•itas with as much spirit as ,Ahe
has ever 'ditplayed.
But the choice of the part was ;not only injudt-,
cious on account of the incidental passages referable
whet sitUAtion, but because it is obviously aboVe
her /*merit. There is a -mixture of intelligence,
wit, sarcasm, humour, and feelingin the charatteri
of &strict., which demands talents of the first-rate
order -; and, though Mrs.: I - JOINSTON exerted her-
self with spirit; her perforniancei,•altogether, was:by
nb moans calculated to satisfy the critical admirers of
SHAKESrEriltti •

It is iittpoisible to. condemn 'the feelingi which
produced the disapprobation last night, it it were
not, in some degree, to be considered as the etre&
of: private duality ; btlt it wonld be absurd in the
pUblie ttT try public l'ertbrintla by the standard of
mO4l excellence, though it ;s certainly proper that
all :Performers, who contintt, themselves in tori Ons.
',ly in private should di:qingaish.e:l by public
'esteem:

The opposition, we truOt,i, is now at an'endi and
that Mrs. H. Jou tiSTON wiliNbc suffered to exercise
her Callink not only witholitldture annoyance, but
with success; in those tharaders to which her abiii-
ties'aret properly adapted.
