We meet with a slight notice of Toussaint l’Ouverture, and the war in St. Domingo, in a broadside dwelling on the consequences of a successful invasion: ‘Here then there would be no _volunteering_, no _balloting_, unless, indeed, such Volunteers as were raised in France for the conquest of St. Domingo. And how were they raised? Why, by every man having a bayonet put to his breast, being seized by force, and then _chained in couples like dogs_, and drove down in a string to the coast, for embarkation, like so many _Galley slaves_. This, though it may sound incredible to an Englishman’s ear, is a fact known to all Europe. ‘Such my brave Countrymen, would be your dreadful fate, could this blessed island be once subjugated to that haughty and merciless Tyrant, the Corsican Bonaparte. Where then, is the Man who would not die a thousand, and a thousand deaths sooner than submit to so cruel and unnatural a fate?’ July was very prolific of these broadsheets, some of them taking the form of theatrical announcements, two of which are here given. THEATRE ROYAL, ENGLAND. IN REHEARSAL, AND MEANT TO BE SPEEDILY _ATTEMPTED_, A FARCE IN ONE ACT, CALLED THE _INVASION OF ENGLAND_. Principal Buffo MR. BUONAPARTE, Being his FIRST (and most likely his Last) Appearance on this Stage. _Anticipated Critique._ The structure of this Farce is very _loose_, and there is a moral, and radical, Defect in the Ground work. It boasts, however, considerable Novelty, for the Characters are ALL MAD. It is probable it will _not_ be played in the COUNTRY, but will certainly never be _acted_ in TOWN; where ever it may be represented, we will do it the justice to say, it will be received with _Thunders_ of ... CANNON!!! but we will venture to affirm will never equall the Success of _JOHN BULL_. It is however likely that the Piece may yet be put off on account of the Indisposition of the Principal Performer, Mr. BUONAPARTE. We don’t exactly know what this Gentleman’s Merits may be on the Tragic Boards of France, but he will never succeed here; his Figure is very diminutive, he struts a great deal, seems to have no Conception of his _Character_, and treads the Stage very badly; notwithstanding which defects, we think, if he comes here, he will get an ENGAGEMENT, though it is probable that he will, shortly after, be reduced to the situation of a SCENE SHIFTER. As for the Farce, we recommend it to be withdrawn, as it is the opinion of all Political Critics, that if played, it will certainly be DAMN’D. ‘_Vivant Rex et Regina._’ The other is:-- IN REHEARSAL, THEATRE ROYAL OF THE UNITED KINGDOMS. Some Dark, Foggy Night, about November next, will be ATTEMPTED, by a Strolling Company of French Vagrants, an Old Pantomomic Farce, called _HARLEQUIN’S INVASION_ OR THE DISAPPOINTED BANDITTI. WITH NEW MACHINERY, MUSIC, DRESSES, AND DECORATIONS.
