Shp!...n, a new t ;rand I.'aiit.un'ti:ical Drama
was performed, for the first time, elitiled
or • D:j•Vate 111:1.1.1, of whi:h ev,ry thing is ima-
ginary but its name. It is avowedly an aleratirti
lions a piece of ;,...or 7 FUV I .
The Frer.sh Navigator, with whole unfortu-
nate eatadroplie the world is mil :quainted, by a
poetical, or rather a piCierial icence, is thrown
upon a derolate ifland, where he encounters a
number of hardfhip,t, till at length`he is found by
his Lady and a party cf friends, who had gone in
fcarch of him. The life he leads in this Nand is
that of a CrtflOe or ,1",,r,./ea, mot} fiinilar to the Lit-
ter, particularly :is he is attcndtd by an intelli-
gent and grateful little animal, of the monkey fpe.
cies, who has a very coniPieuous rank in the
.D.emotie cf the piece. Peroufi holds a
dangerous intercourfe with the natives of a neigh.
bn-tring• ifland, and this firms the main intereft
of a nuriber of scenes, well calculated to produce
flap effect. To the Machinitt and Painter, the
Manager is greatly indebted for the fuccefs of the
nallet, and not lefs to the Mufical Compofers,
Moorittr.-.n and DAVY. The reputation of the
former, thnugh already ellablithed, cannot fail to
acquire additional ftrength from the part which he
has taken in .the harmonic conflrudion of this
Dramatic libric,'as mutt aiti, that of the latter,
who, it may be prqper to inform fome of our
tenders, is a pupil of the Exeter Jscitsow.—The
of H. Jon NSTON and his wife, and of FAa-
't,cr and Mrs. MI IA 3, in Peroufi, Madame ferule,
Ifanho, and (baba, as well as that of Matter ME-
NAGE, in the little " half-reafoning" Clututpanzee,
and indeed of all the perfons of the drama, was
admirable ; and we never knew fcenery worked
more perfey on a firft night's reprefentation than
that of Perou e, which is, however, certainl7 much
too long ; but, as it dragged rather heavily in fome
places, and inflided too great violence on the feel-
ings in others, it has lime been curtailed with great
advantage.—lt w.::? received throughout.

Lieut. Lascusa, who was wounded ht a duel
with the late Lieut. MINSTER, died tome days
!ince at Shcernefs, where on Tuefday he was bu-
ried with military honours, moil of the cacers
purl foldiers of the garrifon attending.
Saturday evening jaw* Marths, alias David
Fitzgerald, was brought to town, from Portfmouth,
in the cuftody of hi. Mafen, Metferger, and Re-
sky, one of the Bow-flreet officers, under autho-
rity of a warrant from the Duke of Portland,
wherein he 'lands charged on fufpicion of being a
fpy from French Government. He was taken
fome time since, on beard a tranfport, with troops,
hound for Gibraltar ; being recognized by one
.of the officers, who law him tried at the Old Bai-
ley, in the year 1795, for being found on board
a French privateer, but of. which he was acquit-
ted, pretending to be a Spaniard, though there is
no doubt of his being an Irifhman by -birth, and
on which account he was fent ho.ne a prifoner by
Lord Keith. _ _
