It is a fortunate :krinstance for Dramatic Writers who arc not of the higher order, that' t:.e Public are disposed to receive prmluctions raised in the hot-bed of the Summer I' heatre with ieir.ty, and require sometiving of a more vigorous confor mation in the Winter i season. Hence, a , Comedy of three Acts, which was brought forward on Saturday last at . the Ifaytuarket heatre, under the title of Living 'in London, experienced a milder fate than its intrinsic merits demanded, or than it could posSibly have obtained, if it had seen first represented before clic awful : tribunal of a winter audience. It would be difficult to detail all the •cirpumstances:which were assemAed, in order con. , titute the plot of o:is play, anti there fore we shall excuse ourselve. from =•_lie attempt There is a miserly money •lender (Tut:a), an other of the same stamp (GitoirE), a Loyd anxious for Parliamentary -interest (Fools), a l'roktm down soldier, assuming several characte s (MA- TnEmrs), a wild rake, but With a . ' good heart (.IoNEs), a dissipated. NOnlemati (RUSSELL), a follower of fashion, whowis an unprincipled gam bler (Jo'nt:s•roN), a young Quaker ( I'oKELEs ready to promote any intrigue of an amorous or pecuniary kind ; an artful woman of , Quail! y (Miss GRETILLE), and another, who had been raised from humble life by the Varhaineritary',No. bletnan. There are subuidinate clutracters, which • are hardly worth noticing ;• yet, with such a mot ley assemblage, little of interest or entertainment was the result, though there were some passages of a risible nature. If the piece had been expandyd into five Acts, it might have been rendered more interesting, because employment then might have been found for all the chief characters, antra re 'gular fable might have' been properly deve.- I(sped ; but, as it is, matters are huddled to gether with little effect, and 'without even dra matic probability. The first Act was mark ed by vrightlinesS, and some whimsical eon-, teptions ; but the second . Was heavy, and the in terest was not increased in the last. lldwever, when some of the characters ate lopped off, and some of the scenes onfitted, or abridged, the piece has the advantage of Such . A Comic support in the performers, that it will be classed among the kind of productions usually expected at this time of the year, and may pass very well through the season. There Was a mixture of ap plause and opposition when it was announced for this evening; but we may fairly say that tlx ma jority was decidedly in its favour. It is ascribed to A ::11r.

It is Perhaps true that the superior attraction or itnir'e rec%2nt, and if possible more sttipetitioni revtilutions may somewhat detract frOm the won ders of what a - ci•nwd of other 'wonders seems to have thrown back a century in interest ; but the present state of France does'not "preclude the pos sibility of there being yet much consequence at tached to the scenes Of aCtitni of last year.

From this pe riod we are carried rapidly on by the course ,of events, to the termination of the Despot's career.

'The negociations at Cbmillon succeeded some brilliant 'Manduivres' of the enemy at Champ anbert, Montmirail, Chateau Thiea Ey, :and Van champ, .or Janvilliers, where'tht!'firoines of Bio- Cher saved the allied cause.

All l thc circumstances Attending these warlike and " cal changes are very ably recorded "in the frst-Yu lume of the work before us. • The - sedoncl enters loin the Campaign of the Duke of Wellington, which it describes with etinal fidelity and precision;. from the time of his , iri•ii(ling France to the close of the war by tht battle of T oulootße .—lt then returns to the con test, in the vicinity of Paris, and after accurately narrating the military measures.to the downfall of the Usurper, winds up the work with the resto ration 'of Louis XVIII.' and the insertion of the chief political documents which preceded Inn! fol lqweafthat event. Such is ) bric.... 4 v, the outline of M. BEAU CHAMP's production, of the manner of which the 'following extracts may serve .as SpeCkillelts : Tile rupture of the negociations at Chruillbn is ascribed to the Allies itii,ting upon " one clause, which appeared to Butinaparte much inure g"lling •than any Other condition of the 1-reaty. This, was the occupation of his Capital, by the Allied Sovereigns, till a desnit;s.e peace should lie sighed within a limited iliac. Napoleon thought that lie discovered some snare in a pro position. so humiliating to his pride though the OCCupatiou was oflIV to be temporary.

Bands of robbers Were secretly orgd nized, and assuming the semblance of Cossacks; CoMmitied; Mider the colours of the enemy, all sorts of excesses which were calculated Co eXelte despair anti wengeance on the part of the .French. Various other machinations were resorted to, and imposition was practised to an unliniited extent. The Authorities of those places, which were situ:: :ated in the diStricts now becotne the theatre•of 'war, were ordered to Park by Napoleon's Millis tens, who suggested, and; in some cases, dietared to them reports, abounding w:th exaggerations and hyperbole, as to the cruelties and deva-Stationi of tke enemy; The publication of these theatiful recitals tended to make the French consider the Rus;'ians and PruSsittris as citonibals. To such excess alas the ittlpositiott carried, that the Cos- sacks were reported tO have seized the.fattest Children, for the purpose of consigning them to the shirt. and afterwards devouring them at their bort Rile batotliets;" • Can we wouder at the anarchy which rei ,, ,ns France at this period, when werefiect on' t he ef fects of such arts on the minds of the ignorant, and when - we remember that the intatnated and unreasoning multitude had been taught to cOnsi der\thetoselVes as the•proper organS whence every Constitution has emanated for the last 25 years, and ought to emanate as often in future as the triumph of faction shall unsettle the existing Or den of regular Government,?. We shall not follow our Author through other extracts even though tempted by the merited en logitunS bestowed on Lord Wellington and ill* British ArtitY, which " quietly traversed the Coun try, without doing injury to a cottage. respecting every one's life and property, enriching the district thrau,sili which it passed. and, leaving behind it.no traces but prosperous abundance."—What a tribute from a French pen ! - The descriptions of the ''reception which all the brunches of the Bourbon Family met arc ex ceedingly interesting; though the most weak and objectionable passage in the work *occurs at one of them, where the Author mentions the descent of a White Dove upon the King's head. IVriters of modern times should be very cautious in the In- • troduction of roiracieS, for in these days. of scep ticism their .admissio'n impeaches the judgment, and throws an air of the ridiculous over the whole, which other parts do not Merit. We trust that Mr. B. will, therefore, Withdraw his pidgeon. frOm ;the nest edition, especially 'since recent events have demOnstrated in how awkward a pre dicament he has placed Providence by imputing to it the Supernatural presentation of this emblem of lasting Peace There is also another failing in this work of a More general nature, which justice compels us to notice, though we otherwise highly approve of the publiCation, the perusal of which has afforded us great pleasure. It is, that the inherent vanity of a •Frenchttian causes the Author to represent hit countryinen as unbeaten if not victorious in. every battle. The Army is a band of Inyincildes ; and when we come tO the end of the chapter, and read the result of the whole i .we-are greatly stir prised• to find, that the consequence of all these heroic exploits and incomparable triumphs is the taking of the Capital, and • the pros:ration of France. We know not if even the Battle of Wa terloo has taken this last inveterate conceit out of the hearts of the .French Nation. • • THE MARKETS. tOnfil-EnCHANGE, AUG. 7.—We received this morning a good supply of Wheat from Essex and Kent, line samples of which sold at a reduction Of 2s. per quarter ; those of interior qualities were nrisale - ahle.
