posed to make. The boatswain once or
twice raised their spirits, which seemed
to flag, by an inspiring blast of his
whistle, rather inopportunely as respect
ed the play, but not so as respected his
comrades, who always rose ADD rave 8
cheers. But when Mrs. barley entered
as Julia Bcrtram, there was at frat q dead
silence ; at length several voices were
heard from different parts of she pit.
"Oh. zrhas a pretty, pretty girl! Horv
Ishouid love her! How 4 40 love her I"
But as soon as she went off, they fell to
talking among themselves and huxxaing
at the boatswAin's whistle. Towards
the end Of the piece their attention was
caught by Jack and the captain, and they
applauded several scenes With Judgment
and great glee. After the play their
highest qualification began. The view
of the sea, of the transparency Of the
engagement between the United States
and Macedonian, of the descending
Genius of America, of the Temple OF
Naval Glory rising out of the ocean, ex-
cited lively sensations and were highly
~applauded. The Letter Dance by the
three children, who surprised them by
their agility, and the neatnes and dex.
terity of their steps, drew forth still
louder applauses but when they again
appeared bearing in their hands separate
letters, which when joined, produced in
transparency, HULL, and on a second
return, JONES, and on 4 third, DE.
CATUR, their sensations were un-
bounded, their huxzzs almost endless,
and the boatswain stunned the house with
his call, which he played as skilfnIly az
loud. After this, M'FarIand came out
in the character of a clown, and sung
the "2ankee FyoGcs," anew song.
Cries of encore ! were incessant ; no.
thing else could be heard, no further
proceedings persitted, until he return
ed, to repeat the song. which he did in
2 few minutes 10 = sailors dress, amids,
the loudest shouts Of applause. In the
mean time q naval column rose from the
stage, surrounded with q full length like.
ness of Commodore Decatur, and the
names of the three commanders engraven
in capitals on its base ; which enabled
him to add to the effect of the song
MI. barley sung Poll Of Plymouth in

concluded the whole with . sailors horn
pipe which making due allowance for
bulk and weight, was very we'll executed.

as his own, possessing every advantage
which time and situation could give

but the victory was purchased by the 81

removc the suspicion of gen. --
meanly and insultingly expressed to Lo-

" Logan, we have for some time enter

think you come into our army with the
intention of ~hetraying our situation to

liberty TO form his wi opinion respect

who was possessed Of any feeling would
have expressed himself in such a man

feelings Of a man Of sensibility. Logan
said after he rctuned, 81 have done
this for my country. I have sacrificed
my life to prove my fidelity to my m

jor Harden as a man of honor should
have done, who had bad bis feelings so
grossly insulted. In his last moments
he was calm and tranquil as the sum-
