A TALE BUT NO FICTION, j
Sdwaild nvas the son of Mh G - , a
distinguished citizen of Richmond, Va.
fie possessed a mind lofty and enterpri
sing; and from his childhood evinced an
ardent thirst for adventure.!. His father,
"sU'inir the' bent -of his mind, procured him
;i blrtli in tho navy, and at the age of six
h( n, Edward left the home of his nativity
'4ith'i beating heart, and an imagination
lowi-u with. the prospects before him.
llory held out to him her allurements,
and beckoned hinVto the theatre of da
ring deeds and adventures; and in the
buoyancy and exultation of youthful fan
ry, liehad already grasped the laurels' of
-ujiplaiise. ':. ; '' . V
j I Jut we must take leave "of our nauti
cal, hero, who for fi while was buffeted
c ii the ocean. His several adventures
and narrow escapes on that 'dangerous e-
lenient; the character he acquired among
our gallant tars,' for his courage - and ox-
iiioits, must be passed over in silence, - as
iiOnessential to tlw- 'present .'narrative. r
Sulfice' itto say, that aftera two year's
service, he obtained, leave ofjibsence, and
p:tunieL to;his native home in . October,
l 11, being previously promoted to a lieu
Rant's rank.
A Ithbugh Edward possessed a 11 the glo w
iii'i qualities of a hero, and his bosom pan
ii.ii for fflorv. vet a delicate and tenxler
f tiiisioility held dominion in his heart,
j Mini easily1 jespomled to e.veryj softer e-
' motion. The pen cannot express the rap-
tare which thrillel our young hero's soul,
, "v. lR;n,-,from wandering over the deep,) he
. : iH'uiv.d his nati ve shore, and the scenes
"f his childhood caught his ravished eye;
'",r Ky hen mirigluig in the, embraces of his
family and friends, he received the kind
w'eleome of a devoted mother. :
Boon after his return to Richmond, "he

It was simply this, i 'A murderer had

visit the theatre; but, though in eyerjy other
instance a dutiful sori. jn this instance she
was disregarded. ' i f j ! ; .
His mother was not a strangrl .to the
ardent lovelmd devotion he bore to Ma

to procure that lady's aid lrvbanishing a
melancholy, that was rapidly preying on
ner son. tier object vas to inauce mm
to go to the theatre, hoping it might di-j
vert his mind, from tho horrid: phantom
that, haunted it. This? he had always re- 4
mscfd to her; but he could not reiuse the
iflotyof his heart ifi a solicitation that was
Jitiiperjous even in conmon gallantry;--
and they went. I his -vas the only night
of that season that the unharjpy trio had
visited the theatre, and they were entirely
ignorant of the play that was to be per
formed. It was a night,'! alas! pregnant
with sorrow. Nothing remarkable - oc
curred, until, .in the c6urse of the perfor
mancjd, one of the actors, in the.characte
he. represented in the play, . rushed upon
the stage, with a broad ? axe in; his hand!
This wonderful coincidence startled Ed-i
ward (whose mind had hitherto been to
tally abstracted) in a surprising manner.
Terror-struck, he ;sprang ! from his seat,
Irew.a pistol from his pocket, and' with
an air of wildness and desperation, cried
out: "there is my murderer again, come
to kill ine"r-every feature, and every
gesture of the actor, was identified in his
mind with that of the apparition that was
haunting .him. : And preparing to dis
charge his pistol, he swore like a mani
ac he would shoot him! The astonished
audience had 4 scarce arrested him from
this act, when, in the hustle that ensued,
the. alarming cry of -"fire!" resounded
through the house! It was that dreadful
fire whichin December, ',181 1, destroyed
the theatre, and so many valuable lives

at Lisbon, gives

"It was on the morning of this fatal
day, between the hours ol nine and ten,
that I was sab down in my apartment, just
finishing a letter, when jthe papers ituiita-.
ble f was writing on, jbegan tcfremble
with a gentle .uotion, which rather sur
prised me, as I could no perceive a breath
of wind stirring! Whilst 1 was reflecting
with myself what this could be owing to,
but without having the (east apprehension
of the- real cause, the whole house began,
to shake from the very jfoundationj which
at first I imputed to the rattling of several
coaches, in the main street, which usually
passed that way; kt this iime, from Belem
to the palace; but on hearkening more at
tentively, ' I :.vas soon fundeceive, as I
found it was owing to q strange frightful
kindof noise under ground, resembling
the hollow distant rumbling' bfthunder..
All this passed in less than a minute, and
I must confess I now began to be alarmed,
as it naturally occurred; to I me that this
noise might possibly beithe forerunner of
'an earthquake; as one I remembered,
wliich had happened about six or seven
years ago, in the island lof Madeira, com
menced in the same manner, though it
did little or ho damage. i
"Upon this I threw down my pen and
started upon my feet, emaining a mo
ment in suspense, whet ier I should stay
in the apartment or run into the street, as
the- danger in both placts seemed equal:
and still flattering myself' that this tremor
mijht produce no other
bflects than such
inconsiderable ones as
had been felt at
Madeira; but in a moment ijwas roused
from ny dream, being instantly stunned
with a most horrid crash, as if every jedi
ficeiri the city hadlumbled down at once.
The house I was in shook with such vio
lence that the upper stories immediately
fell, knd though my apartment (which
was te first floor) did not then share the
same fate, -yet every thing was; throwrf put
of its place in such a manner, that it was
with jno small difficulty T kept my feet,
and expected nothing less than to be soon
crushed to death, as the: walls continued
rocking to and fro in the frightfullest
manner, opening in several places; large
stones falling down on every side from
the cracks, and the ends of most of the raf
ters j starting out from the roof. To add
to thij terrifying scene, the sky in a mo
ment became so gloomy that I could now
distinguish no particular object; it was an
Egyptian darkness indeed, such as might
be felt; owing, no doubt, to the prodigious
clouds of dust and lime raised from so vio
lent a concussion, and, as some reported,
to sulphureous exhalations, but this can
not affirm; however it is certain I found
mysel f, almost choked for -near ten min
utest. . "C I , I r
Du ring the - whole of November, the
shocks continued to be violent. Lisbon
was reduced to a heap of ruins. The loss
of live 5 was computed at upwards of 30,000.
In tlie lower, part of the town not a street
could be traced but by the fragments of
broken walls, and tlie 'accumulation: of
ashe3 and rubbish.: .Palaces, ehurches,
convents and private houses, appeared as
if the angel of desolation had just passed
by., , The falling of St. Paul's church bu

which was very numerpus, . beneath its

surviving inhabitants, and i only infested
by. robbers' who proceeded in gangs to
break open antkplunder. The heights a
rond Ilisbon ,were so covered with tents,
that they seemed a continued encampment.
The great aqueduct over the valley: of
Alcantara remained- entirely unshaken,
thoughj its height is so great and its line
of arches so extensive It was remarked,
that jdtring the month of November,' the
tides did not observe their proverbial. re
gularity, . '" ., ' j
The terrors of a conflagration were ad
ded o those of the earthquake. On the
night of the 1st of November, the whole
city appeared in a blaze, which was so
bright, that persons could, see to read' by
it. It continued burning for six days,
withoul; the least attempt being made to
stop it. I Ihe people were so dejected and

FKOM THE LONDON MORNING CHRONICLE. ,
When a stranger from the provinces
visits London for the first fime, he" finds
a vast deal to astonish him which he had
not previously calculated upbn. Before he
sees it he has formed his own ideas of its
appearance, character, and Extent,; but his
conceptions though grand, are not accu
rate; so that when;'. he actually arrives
within its; precincts when he is driven
for; the hrst time from the Exchange to
Charing Cross he is generally a good
de&l amazed, and in no small degree stu
pified. London can neither be rightly
described as a town nor as a city; it is a
ndtion; a kingdom in itself. . Its wealth is
that of half of the world, and - its - popula
tion that of some second rate countries.
Its conventional system of society,- by
wrhich the j human being is rounded down
like a pebble m arapia river, ana its pe
culiarities ;6f different kinds; mark it as
quite an aiiomaly; something to which the
topographer can assign no proper title.
London was originally a town on its own
account. It is now occupieu ot tne cities
of Londpn and Westminster the, latter
having once been a seat of population on
its western confines besides a number
of villages; formerly at' a distance from it,
in different directions, but now engrossed
within its bounds, and only .known hy the
streets to which they have Communicated
their appellations. All. ripv form one
huge town, in a connected mass, and are
lost! in the common name pf London. .
By its extensions in this manner, London
now measures seven and a half miles "in
length, from east to west, by a breadth
of five miles from north .to. south. Its
circumferenceallowing for! variodi ine
qualities, is estimated at thirty miles, while
the area ol ground it covers is consmerea
to measure no less than eighteen miles
square. " 'j '.;' , i' , i
"The, increase of London has been par
ticularly favored by the nature qf its site.
It standVatthe distance of sixty miles from
tlie sea, on the north bank of the Thames,
on ground rising gently i towards the
north; and so even and regnlar in outline,
that among! the streets; withfew 1 excep

volume and depth of water, that vessels
seven or eight htindred'tons reach the ci
ty on its eastern quarter. Most unfortu
nately, the beauty of this exceedingly use
ful and fine stream is much hid from t fie
spectator, there being no fjuays or prome
nades along its banks, as is the case wih
the Liffey, at Dublin. With the excep
tion of the summit of St. Paul's, the 6n!y
good points of sight for the river.. are tie
bridges, which cross it-at convenient dils
tances, and, by their length convey ah ac
curate idea of the breadth of the-channel.
During fine, weather, the. river is covend
with numerous batges or boats of fanciful
and light fabric, suitable for quick rowing:--and
by means of these pleasant convey
ances, the Thames forms one of the chief
thoroughfares.' j -
" "London consists Of an apparently in
terminable series of streets, composed of
brick houses, vliich are commo"n!y four
s'tories in height, and never less than thTe:
The London houses are not by any -means
elegant in their appearance;1 they havjiV
for, the most; part J a- dingy ancient aspect;
and it is only in the western part of the
metropolis that they assume any thing
like a superb outline. . Even at the; best,
they have a meanness of look in compari
son with houses f polished white f'rek
stone, which is hardlv surmounted bv-a i
the efforts of art arid daubings of pi list.
and stucco. The; greater proportio.i
the dwellings are small." They are met

staqces, only two small rooms on the rfoo

a

torn to top of the house-, It is enly ia tii!

t
the. houses have sunk areas with railing
.in all the business; parts they stand clos:
upon the1 pavements, so that trade may be
"conducted with the utmost "facility and
convenience
j "The lightness of tlie fabric of the Lon
don houses affords an opportunity for o
pening up the gfourid stories as shopis
and warehouses. Where retail business
is carried on, the whole of the lower part
of the edifice in front is door and window!
adapted to show goods to the be3t advan
tage to the passengers.- The London
shops seem to throw themselves into
the wide expansive wiudpws, and these.
ot all diversities ot size and ,tlccoration
transfix the provincial with their charms!
The exhibition of I iroods in the London
shop windows is one of the .greatest won
ders of the place. Every thing w
the appetite, can suggest, or the fanci
lich
iin
aitine, would appear there to be congre
gated. In every Other city there" is an
evident meagreness m the quantity and
assortments. .But here there is the mos!
remarkable abundance; and that not in j
solated spots, but along ..'the sides of -tho
roughfares miles itt length- In what'evei
way you turn.ypur eyes, this extraordin'i
ry amo unt of mjprc antile wea 1th is st ri k in g
ly observable; if yen even penetrate into
an alley, or y hat you think an obscure
court, there you will see it in fall- force,
and on a greater scale than in any pro
vincial town whatsoever, it - is equally
obvious to the stranger, that there is here
a dreadful struggle for business. 'Every
species of lure i is. trietl.to Induce purchas
es, and raodesty is quite lost sight of! A
tradesman will cover the front of his
house with a sign, whose gaudy and huge;
characters might be read without the aid
of a glass at a mile's , distance. He will
cover the town with a shower of colored
bills," descriptive of) his wares, each mea
suring half a dozen-feet square, and toi
make them more conspicuous, will , plas

end to the ways and means of the London
l tradesmen. Their
ing entity is racked
to devise schemes for attracting attention,
and their politeness! arid suavity of man
ners exceeds almost what "could be imag
l ined. Yet it is all surface work. I heir
civility is only a thin veneering on the
natural character, for, after pocketing your
money, khey perhaps care not though you
were carried in an hour hence to .the gal
lows. But why should we expect any
thing else? It would he too much for hu
