SOLENT QUIS DIC/RE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,

MONDAY, JULY 23, 1810.

We are extremely sorry to find, from our
outh Lettrr, tiiat an event of a most distressing
1-lture,.has occurred at, Dominica, Our Corre-
s,,,nident states, that some vesseli had arrived at
nyinatit Li from Martinique, and have brouglit intelli-
gen :e, that a dreadful massacre had taken place at

Dominica. The following ar'e stated to be the par-
ticulars

" During the time the British Officers were at mess,
a party of Blacks, under the influence of the French
Government, entered the room, and barbarou.ly
murdered the greater part of them : report states, all
but two, who found means to make their escape."
These are all the particulars which, have reached
us. Government have not received any official.
. ,
intelligence upon the subjea. •
It is also stated; that a plot-has been dete&ed at
Martinique, where the Blacks had formed a plan to
• -
assassinate the British Officers.

We have received an American Paper, which con-
tains the following statement : we trust it will prove
to be unfounded :

." BOSTON, JUNE 20.7-Letters from Washington
repeat the report of the recal of Mr. PINKNEYfrom
the Court of London, and that a Char&.-: des Affaires
will. be left there. This, the Cabineteers 'say, is to
be done to place the two nations on 'a diplomatic
equality.".

Last night some German' and Swedish Papers
were received, ,but they bring us very little news.
Sa.veden, it appears, remains in a most distracted
state; the Vrench and Russian parties arc each ex-
ertingAiieiriutmost.efforts_ to secure a successor to
the throne, who may be supposed to be favourable
-to their views. It is true the Russian Government
has profeSsed a determination not to interfere upon
the subject bat that it does interfere powerfully,
though secretly, there can be no doubt.
The German Papers state, that MARIA LOUISA.
is in a state of pregnancy; but it is singular that
BUONAPARTE, if the fact be so, has not officially
announced it in the iWonitear.

There is no account whatever of the unfortunate
Louis ; the general opinion seems still to be, that
he has embarked for America.

YeFterday morning his MAJESTY and Princess
AUGUSTA, accompanied by the Marchioness Of BATH
and daughter, Lady HowE, Generals GARTH and
WYNYARD, rode to St. Getirge's Chapel, where
they heard Divine Service.
• Princess SOPHIA is a little better of her cold.

Sir H. HALFORD and Dr. DUNDAS, arrived at
Windsor on Saturday evening at Princess AMELIA'S
house in St. Alban's-street. Dr. DUNDAS StOpt
about two hours, and then returned to Richmond.
Sir H. HALEOED-StOpt all the night, and returned
to London yesterday 'morning, leaving Princess
AMELIA'in a fair way of getting better.
His MAJESTY and Princess AUGUSTA rode in
Windsor Great Park till twelve o'clock, on Saturday.
His MAJESTY was acccmpanied
,by the Marquis
CORNWALLIS, Earl HARCOURT, Lady COLLYER,
Generals WYNYARD and GARTtI, Colonels TAYLOR;
arid DESBROW.

We are sorry to say that the Duke of .Sussex is
confined from a sprain in his back, which he re-
ceived on Thursday when mounting his 'horse.
The Duke of, CUMBERLAND yesterday paid a visit
to the, Princess of WALES at Kensington Palace.
Hisloyal Highness rode through Kensington
Gar-
dens, and. we were happy to observe, looked very
well; -he wore his black velvet cap, instead of a
hat, and did not appear to have the use of his right
hand.,

Aletter from New York states, that Sir J. B.
WARREN, in the SuVlsure, and four frigates, bad
arrived at Halifax from Bermuda. The Cleopatra
had sent. into Halifax a French corvette, of 32 guns,
with a. valuable cargo from the Isle of France, bound
for Bourdeaux. On the 19i h,,the Hon. Mr. JACK•
SON and his Lady arrived at New York from Boston.
Ministers have entered into engagements for the
establishment of a permanent Express between Lon-
don and Holyhead7—the distance (279 miles) is to
be performed in 27 hours, at 9d..per mile, or about
20001. per annum.

Yesterday afternoon the Ross and Renfrew Regi-
inent of embarked at the Tower, on board
Leith and Berwcik smacks, for the Fortner place, and
are replaced by the 8d regiment of Foot Guards.
The different Volunteer Regiments-,West of Tem-
ple Bar, are. to be brigaded on Thursday next, and
accompanied by Cavalrrand ArtiHery,will march to
Hampstead, for the purpose of having a sham fight.
The review of ' Lord HEATHFIELu's btigade of
Life Guards by the Prince of WALES is deferred
until Monday tie 80th at to o'clock.

TUE LYCEUZI.—A new Farce was represented at
this place on Saturday last, under the title of
Twenty Years Ago. _ •
This Piece is the acknowledged produelion of Mr.
POCOCK, jun. a Gentleman, who has often gratified
the Public in the double capacity of an artist and a I
dramatic writer. He .has hitherto appeared only as
a writer of Farces, but from the specimen of his
talents on the present occasion, we have reason to
believe that he could take a higher flight in the dra-
matic regions witlisuccess.. His former efforts have
been Tar ked by a kind of. humorous extravagance,
rather beyond the usual • bounds of dramatic ro
•natice,.but the Piece of Saturday has a charadter of
interest mingled with its ludicrous, qualities, and'ex-
citeS sympathy as well Merriment.
The charthers are,well adapted to the respe&ive
performers, and the piece is ably sustained by Dow:.
TON, RAYMOND, PENSON, and ,KNIGHT. Miss
KELLY 'displayed great vivacity and humour, and
Miss E; BOLTON supported. her character with deli-
cacy and interesting effect..
The house.; as crowded,and the audience teceived
the piece with the warmest applause.
• As Mr. SHERMAN was quite in time to Witness ,
the Installation at Oxford, and. yest-rday to see the'
Launch at Deptford, we are tempted to draw a good
omen from this vigilance, and to hope that it will be
visible also in the erogress of. the new Theatre, what-
ever gloomy prediaions may ,prevail, grounded upon
the long period 'which has elapsed since tl;eclektue7
Lion of the former edifice, lnd the little that has
been done during the interval.

DAY-SATURVA Y, JULY 2i.

Aicholav t, Esq. a Post Captain in the
Navy, and B. Tanner, a Shipwright, at DArtinotithi
were indicted for conspiring to forge and utter a re-
ceipt, by means of which they bad defrauded his
IVlajety of 291: ss.
The AT.TORNEY-GENtIiAL concluded the prose-
cution ;on the part of the Cr.,wn.' This was a
charge which had its origin :so far back igos,
Captain Tomlinsbn's ship, the Pelter gun-brig, had
undergone some repairs at Daetinouth; and fw had
given Tanner, the shipwright he had ernpolyvd, a
bill uprin Government, amounting to g6l. for re-
pairs, to his ship, which,iinchtded the blacksmith's
bill, to the .amount of 291:55.;
,but since appeared
•that blaCksmith's bill was a forgery, he• having
only done work to the
,arnount of 41. 6s.
N. Randal, the blacksmith, who .had done his
part of the repairs, proved this bill to be a forgery,:
and that he had done work only to the amount of
41. 6s. on the Feller brig, It was , the prisoner
Tanner who employed him : he did nu know Capt.
TorruinSon.
The Judge here interposed, and. asked the At-
torney-General if he had any proof that Tomlinson
