THE PROLOGUE TO THE NEW PLAY u -LOOK AT

HOME."
The Linea snstrhed by inverted Commas dre emitted
in the Delivery.
As some dull egn-board at a Public Inn.
True emblem of the sorry fare within,
Salates each Traveller with (as words of course),
" Good entertainment here for Man and Horse,"
So our dull Prologue is hung out to-day,
To catch and claim attention to our Play:
,Our fare's.perhaps indifferent—what's still worse, .
F9r Man we've eu,tertainment—act for .Horse;
, And, as times go, his hopes are poor I_ ween,
who cannot raise a horse-lauga by his scene.
" If he broad humour and distortion lacks,
" His,act)rs fain must die with harness on their backs."
For some sage authorlings of late decreed, •
As plays grew &ill, they must improve the breed,
And, (as logicians argue different ways),
They thought as plays were sports, all sports were plays;
Henee,,eager to attract by something new,
• They gave their field-sports to-the, public vievz.
Sent on those boards,where writers /tune for fame,
Their real hunters to contest the game:
Can it be wonder'd that the hunters won ?
True wit and nature could no longer 'ran,
,Distanced '.;ty horses, they were quite undone !
4.34.eekless of houest'fame and Pais renoWn,,
,0 T,us jockey authors jochey'd all the town." ,

Yet why, with cynic brow, condemn this rage
For Horse-performers ? " Allthe world's a Star, 4"
Therefore the world, to prove the maxim true,
Has followed horsesi--as all Stages do.
" Compare naNNspite of envious detractors,
" The merit of your two and four-leged actors :
" Those upon four legs, without pun or jest,
" Are calculated, sure, to run the best."
Ours is no horse play bard; we therefore trust
All horse play raillery will be deera'd unjust.
He bids me say, to smooth the Critio's frown,
The ground-work oft the plot is not his own;
In fair Italian climes our story lies,
Its leading feature of in English guise,
Have drawn the tear-drop down the check of Youth,
E'en Age has felt its force, and own'd its truth.
To mould Zeluc&'s interesting page,
And soften scenes too horrid for the Stage ;
Paint criraes withgentler touch, and still between •
To interweave the playful, comic scene,
Has been our Author's taste ; be you, to-night,
The candid Judges, whether wronger right.

Many Persons having been. unable in former
Lotteries to obtain favourite Numbers, the Can-
tractors for the present Lottery have judiciously
formed them into Eight Packets of Tickets, which
they give to the Public as Extra Benefits, besides
the Prizes amounting to 100,000/. By this ar-.
rangement no preference is given to Adventu'rers,.
for even the Purchaser of a Blank maygain 40,000/.
by.either of. these Packets on the Bth of Septem-
ber, when all the Lottery will be drawn.

this city has received a letter from St. John's NON-..
foundland, via Liverpool, dated July 16, which
states, that a few days before the letter was dis-
patched, the ddenis cutter, of 10 guns, went -tint
on a cruite, and having fallen in with an American
privateer; smart engagement ensued. The cut-
ter, we are sorry to say, is stated to hare surT-za-
dcred, after sustaining the loss of many of tier
crew, who were killed -in the action. On the
receipt of this intelligence, such of his Majesty's
ships as were at St. John's went out in search of
the privrateer•and her priie, with - what success is
not mentioned.: Athough there seems to be no
reasonable gtotind to doubt the accuracy-of this
statement, it may be proper to mention that
