she put in here, in order to repair the damages she
sustained in a gale of wind. • The French privateer
Aventure, is a ship of about 250 tons, copper.
bottomed, and is stated to have formerly belonged
to Liverpool, and in the Guinea trade, but was
taken last war by La Muth', which was after.

A Whaler from Altona bound for .runntngen was
captured by the English ; who s-nt some of their

Vessel to her Captain : he taking advantage of this
circumstance, condulrd the ship to Friederickstadt
stir l'Eider, and made his report to a Magistrate.
Next day one of the English Vessels cruizing before
the Elbe, arrived at Friederickstadt, and claimed
the Prize. This claim was refused, till the decision
of the King should be known on the subjeil.

PRIPATE CORRESPONDENCE.

DUBLIN, OCT. 3.

COMMISSION INTELLIGENCE.

Thomas Keenan was this day put to the bar on a
charge of High Treason, grounded on two clauses,
as in almost all the farmer instances, of the Act 25
In.

t. .
The ATTORNEY GENERAL, in stating the case 'or
the Crown, adverted to the observations which
had been advanced by the Prisoner's Counsel
in a former case, relative to the testimony of
Approvers;- lie said, that in traiterous conspira.
cies, dark and sectet as they usually are, it is
nearly impossible that an unimpeached witness
could he procured to give testimony of such conspi-
racies; as moderate, honest,. and industrious men,
could hardly be conceived participators in such
atrocities, and should the knowledge of such crimes
come within the view or contemplation of. honest
men, the circumstance could only' occur by the
merest casualty imaginable; penitent Informers,
therefore, were wisely considered by the Laws of
`the Country admissible evidence, being' the best
which it is generally possible in similar cases to
procure.

After the preliminary evidence, of the fact of
'lnsurreetion on the night of the 23d of July last,
bad been gone through in the usual manner,
jobs Fleming, an Approver, deposed as in
former cases, that he was an ostler at the White.
Ball Inn, in 'Thomas.street, -and that front. his re..
aidence there he had easy intercourse and access to
the de[iit of pikes near Marshall-alley, with which
the back gate of this inn communicated : he saw
the Prisoner at the bar' planing pike-staffs in 'MS
del.at
.for several clays previous to the night
of Insurreition, on which night he saw him
armed with a pike in Thomas-street, and knew
him among the group of rebels, of whom the Wit.
ness himself formed one, 1% ho stabbed Lord Kilwar_
den while lying in the street, after having been
dragged from his carriage; after this horrible cir-
cumstance, the Prisoner at the bar, together with the
Witness and others retreated towards Meath. row,
where the frianner,in.allusion to the recent butchery
of that lamented Nobleman exclaimed, " lf all per.
sons of his darriptioit had ate. served ;is the sane
4,40151 e r, Sky, She SWIM:, OS. 'timid have hut little
to apprehemd from the only."
Om cross.examination by Mr. Buses, the Witness
acknowledged, that when he was a soldier in the
Kildare Militia, he received the punishment of
eso lashes for an alleged offence, amounting only
to a suspicion of having been absent at a mile's
distance frnm his quarters. He was previously
to the Rebellion in the year It 9s, MOM a tfiem.
her of the snesety of United Irishmen; Was con.
vineed, that while in the Army, he was neither ac.
eased nf, or punished kir any rapes or murders..
Pat.iiistro, another Approver, deposed, that on
two oeeasions when he went to the dep6t of pikes,
the week preceding the night of the Insurretlion,
he saw the Prisoner at the bar there, but did not
eee him occupied in any species of work.
Abraham Coate', Esq. a Magistrate of the
County of Wicklow, residing in the town of
'Alkl°w deposed, that be SAW the Prisone at
the bar, In company with 24011fitosht that
town, some day in the week succeeding the
night of the insurreltion, believes it was on
the a6th of July. On interrogating the Pri.
stoner respelling his name and business, he
assumed the name of William Bryan, by which
name he, the Wittiest, committed him ; he also
said that M'lntosh and he were millwrights, and on
their *Ay to Waterford for work ; he denied having
been in Dublin on the night of the Insurreition, al-
leging that lie had been absent for three weeks be.
fore that event, working with a Mr. Jones.
The evidence for the Crown was here closed.
Mr. Bump, in the defence, niadt; a very able
speech, in which he took occastm to compliment
she moderate and candid LAceedings- of the
Crown Lawyers, as well as the mild and' tem.'
Aerate conduit so conspicuous in the Govern.
with so 'much 'honour
silent of .the Country, who,
to themselves, while conferring an essential
public benefit, had. refrained from precipitating
the present Curse of proc!eding, and before they:
embarked into it, had reason to think that the
ferment in tht public mind. Ltd been allayed. Mr:.
Bust; E said, That the only species of defence which
he was authorized to advance, arose' from the
nature of the evidence of two Approvers, to
Whom, by their own account of themselves, no
credit could be attached—neither did the slightest
collateral circumstance occur, to give to their
depositions the least feasibility. He anima&
l'tried upon the evidence of these persons, as well
as on their charailers, with peculiar force and do.
cution ; he also advanced the good charaCier which
his Client bore, as a strong circumstance to induce
doubt, and that on such doubt, excited in their
minds, it was the duty of the Jury to acquit.
411"a"der 31`0'wee, concerned in a cotton manu.
Istiory near Finglas.bridge, deposed to the charac.
Itr.of the Prisoner at the bar for sixteen years that
,
hati known him, but could say nothing of his
politics,
Lord Noitettay charged the Jury, with his ac.
Custoined candour and perspicuity. His Lordship
1:c-commended them to retire to their box, which_ they did, and in about five minutes returned a Ver.
i tt--Gadry.
The Prisoner, previous to Sentence of Death,
Which teas pronounced on him, solemnly protested
his innocence of Lord Kt LwAltriEN"s murder, anti
lirayed for a long day.
etiurt adjourned to Wednesday.

Tits interesting tragedy of Dollelat has seldom
been represented with more effect than last night at
this Theatre. Mrs. St otio:::s has so often displayed
her excellence in Lady Randolph, that the Public'
-are fully acquainted is iih her high merits in that
charatter. Perhaps, however, the situation in which
she appeared last night, and being really, as well
as dramatically, the mother of the hero. of -the;
piece,-
might give an additional charm to her aCting,l
and make it come more " home to men's business!
and bosoms." Certain it is that she 'levet: sup.:
ported the charader with more grace, energy, and!
pathos.
Mr. KtmBLE, who seems willing' to put:,biii
shoulder to the wbeel upon all occasions that may
tend to heighten dramatic effect, appeared fOr the
first time in the charade( of Vii Norval, anti moat'
ably supported that charafler. His account of his.
diseovery of Young Norval in his infant state, and
the danger from which.he was rescued, was very
afitiling. Considering, however, the general de..
bility'of the venerable shepherd, it might he
thought that his tones were somewnat too for.
The part of Glanalvon has Seldom appeared so
prominent as it did in the hands.of Coasts, who de.:
•livered its malevolence, its subtlety, its dissimula.'
tiara,. and its sarcastic bitterness, with a diversity!
'of eaipt,e,ssipn that shewed great powers of aning.
At nines, indeed, he "was someivbactoo familiar for
tragedy, and the audience were, more titan once
touched with Judicrousreeling.

Mr. H. SIDDUNS seemed to catch a strong por.
tion of maternal fire, for he certainly displayed con.
siOrable merit in the part, and much more than in
most chararfters that he performs.
MURRAY was much too vehement and stormy
in Lord Randolph, hut we are inclined to ascribe
his fault to feelings that deserve high commen.
dation, for he seemed to' be strongly impressed
with the analogy between the Invasion of CM.a.
DoNi A by the DANES, at the time of dramatic
adios, and the menaced hostility of the French at
this moment. The audience seemed to feel the
aptness and strength of the co.incidence, and warmly
participated in the feelings it was calculated to ex.
cite.. His performance was however certainly too
boisterous, and he was not quire su much in. pos.
session of the words as he is in general.
Upon the whole this interesting Drama was sus.
rained with great ability, and we were highly gra.
cited in seeing it attended by a numerous audience,
as well as in Witnessing the cordial applause excited
p,s,the general merits of the 'reptesentation.

The Covent. Garden Manager was so struck with
the talents of Miss BkUNTON during .1 probationary
rehearsal, that though she had never trod theatrical
boards, he would not suffer her to have the trouble
of proceeding, but concluded an engagement for
three years wtth,her upon the spot. Mr. Kama LE
is also said to presage warmly in favour of her comic
excellence. If she gives way to the di&ates of her
own Wings, there can be little doubt of her sue_
Cott.

It was remarked last night that COOKS laid a
particular emphasis upon that description of Norval's
appearance when he is advancing towards him-
