DOVER, JAN. 13.---..rtitS morning, about eleven
o'clock, as the Lively Custom-house cutter was
going out oftthe harboUr, site struck the South Pier
Head, and by being too hard pressed by a sloop
coining in, got on the Bar; and stove her bows,
when veering round the North Pier Head, she im-
mediately sunk, and her people were obliged to take
to the rigging to Save their lives. An immense
concourse of boats went of) yo the assistance of the
,
crew and since then have been getting Out the
stoles and rigging. Shook, it not come on to blow,
it is etpeaed she will be got off with little damage.

Mr. SnPutbssi, in the last debate in the House
of Commons, respecting the Restrictions on the
Regency, with' the Candour and openness charac-
teristic of him, frankly acknowledged, that the late
Administration, called, as he said, " The Talents,"
never did possess the good opinion or confidence
of the people, notwithstanding their endeavours to
procure it and to this cause he ascribed the support
given to the present Administration, not on account
of their own merit, but the unpopularity of their
predecessors in office. - Though this truth, as far
as it respects " The Talents," is felt and known by
all the party, yet no one of them, except Mr. Sna.
MAN, has had the manliness thus publicly to ac-
kaowledge it.

Our private letter& from Paris state that BUONA.
PARTE has recently been much indisposed in come-
queuce of a severe Catotepris ; a species of apoplexy
which so paralyses the limbs greeted, as totally to
deprive them for a considerable time of the power of
extension, or olio motion.

tt is -4,tp'eatei of warfare cannot •be formed upon a
better model. It would. also be proper .to print at.

Chiefs of the smaller or distria-guerillas extensive
knowledge is by no means 'necessary : t 0 have am=
munition, to be vigilant and constantly in motion,
with a certain portion of btaaery, are all that is ne-
cessary, which certainly ate to be found in all the
different races who inhabit the Peninsula.
We shall conclude these considerations with an
-important reflation. At different' times, 100,000,
-or even 200,000 Mussultuaa have passed over the.
Peninsula; and granting that there were a few great
battles like that of Navas de Tolbsa, of Salado, or
plain of ourique, yet thegteater part were cur
,otf in petty warfare, which was carried on with
gitealer or less effect, in proportion as the ordenanza
assisted the troops in greater or smaller nunitiets—
ln the same manner the French must be dealt with;
to is necessary to follow them up viith the same
kind of warfare, rectifying the errors which bJung-
ed to a former age, and combining all authorities
and individuals for the same great object, which at
that time -was nut effected, from the childist: rival-
ships of ditfaent Christian Powers in the Penin-
sula, who mace war upon one another, witien
ought to be reserved for invaders alone. Happily
th it most powerful cause of retardation, and un-
'immune issue, has no existence in our present si-
tuation.

Mr. LEWIS, THE At:Toa.—The Public, we are

Coovincel, will bear with 'ninth regret, that this
Gentietwn, who has: so often altbrded them plea-
sure, made his awful exit from. the stage of life on
Saturday last, at his house in
,Westborne-place,
Sloane-square. He was In the sixty.third year of
age. As a cumlc thor, he was teriainl, at the
head of hiS professioc, for the whole of the period
itr which he' was on-'ti'e Loudon Stage. He had
acquired chusiderable tame as a:Comedian' before he
ventured upon the boards of the great mcfropolis of
the Etui,ire. He made his first appearance
in London at .Covent-Gar Jen Theatre, abdut, the
year 1774, in the part of the IVes; Indian, which
he represented with so much ease. sprightliness, and
humour, tnat he fixed his reputation on his first ap-
pearance, and made such a progress iu purylic fa-
vour, that he was; during the whole of his career,
the most poptilar Comedian in his day.--:—From the
chisracters which be generally assumed, and from
1113 wellobred manners- in pi ivate life,' he soon ac-

gaited the devigndtion o Gentleman LEWIS, to dis.
t►ndui!h him tiotn LEE LEWIS, who generally Npre
sented parts of ale elegant description.

Mr. i.zwts came upoi7 tie LotictOtt boards just as
poor Woubwitto was clo•iug Ills cam, and be

was tlfe ratitful itiherilot of i hal excellent actors
range of characters, and wl`i indeed capable of a-

sutuing parts whic;* WooDwAart would have been .1
incapahle of represetoule, such for instance as
iaulkland, in The iiivats, apart which Mr, Lewis
rendered very prominent in that admirable comedy, : ,
and .which he supported wit Is lilt 'requisite ease and
sensibility. Two was AD origivat air of spirit,
gaiety, and whim, in Mr. LEWts's manner, which
not ouly enabled him to display the general round of
stock characters, as they are called, of. the legiti-
mate Drama, with great skill, but which induced
O'Kuures, and other Dramatic Writers .uf theipre,
:sent day, to design parts entirely. for the purpose of
drawing forth his peculiar talents, and etrording scope
for the exuberance of his humour. Indeed it may
be truly said, that many productions of the present
day were indebted for the tavetur with whiCh they
were received wholly to the whim, gaiety, and ori-
ginal humour with which he supporsO: the prieci
pal chatatters. But the powers of Mr. Lawns were
not confined to comedy. He was a very respedable
;odor in the tragic province, and we are. assured that
the excellence which be displayed in Mrs. HANNAH
MORS'S Tragedy of Percy, procured him the :warm
approbation of GARRICK himself. But though Mr.
Lewis- distinguished himself so much in what rri3y
be called the dashing characters of comedy, his pri-
vate life was marked by every domestic virtue. He
was an. affeCtionate husband and father, and he ,w. 45
rewarded by the possession of an estimable wife add
,amiable and accomplished offspring. His three
daughters in particular, were
.distinguished by every
quality that can adorn the remit; character. The
unfortunate toss of one of these amiable. daughters.
a short time ago, was a shock to his feelings which
he never could recover. The i.umediate cause of
his death was a fever on his ehest, and
.he had only
been confined to his bed a ' week ,botore his family ;
and numerous train of friends had the misfortune to '
be deprived of him. He was easy, decorous, and
gentlemanly in his deportment, very well acquaint
-
a with life, and possessed of au abundant stone of
anecdotes, which lie always related in a neat and
pertinent manner, allowing no more to the expres-
sion than, what was requisite to show the full sub-
stance and point of the story.
Asa member of society, he was distingoiihed.for
probity.and a stria performance of all his engag-
Merits. It is ao seldom that the world is deprived of
man of his eminence in the rank- of society to
which he belonged, and to whom the public were so
much indebted for so many years of harmless plea-
sure, that we have deemed it an ad of duty and
gratitude toe man of worth and talents to give this
testimony to his profesSional excellence and personal
mnits. He had acquired considerable property by
the exertion of his ..ifients,
,which he held tnanaw:d
with prudence, and ii..sdisposAl of with justice :dad
liberality. He was 'in posses,ion of his faculties
