THE THEATRE. MORTON'S MON-toile Comedy of Town.and Country was •visited at the llaymarket, last night, by a very numerous andierKe. The part of Reu ben Gtettroy, of which the miginal representative' was Mr. KEmat,E, was performed by.. Mr. MFG GETT. Those passages which required moral energy were given with effect, so was the dejec tion of dkappoiuted love; but those parts of the character which den - funded pare tenderness, were expressed with a kind of qua nt solemnity. But the performance uas on the whole judicious respectable. TERRY'S COSey was throughout ex cellent. ToxEct'e's Trot was !Mich too boorish for au opulent Manufacturer, allied to a nnble Au Interlude, called Yard arm and Yard arm, taken from the Farce of. Netley ~/bLey, , tnllowctl, and in troduced Mr. Ilitowa &OM-Liverpool, - in the part of Gunnel. We have no doubt that this pertorMer . gave a correct portrait of a Sailor, and he boxed thr compass very gliblq ; but Ite is no great singer, and his performance altogether was rather . too ' technical for a general audi'ence. Toe LVCRUD.I.—Mr. RAymoNn's benefit tools place nt this theatre last night, and the respect in whirn he is held by the Public was evident in a numerous auditory. On this .occaSion a new piece was have been represented, entitled" The Dukes Coat ; or, the Night. after 11 7 aterloo,• a dramatic anecdote," but after a relicarsal had taken plaet the Lieertcer refused his sanction. ' this circumstance was annotinCed in play-bills 'issued in the course - of the day, and stiting, that by per mission of the 111annger, .The Maid 'and the Magpie would be substituted.

Wilh nothing- tuuie, but pkinly and impartially speak our mind, shortly as to the nerd nature of his works; and More in detail as to the volnines now before us. Plainly, then * , M. CnATEAnnitiAND, as an an 7 their, is no favourite of ours., We dislike him, because we Think him an affected jeclainier, member of that Cla§s of French writers who have sprung up since the days of RotTsse.tiy, and pro.• (limed More nonsense in the shape of vaponring sentimentality than our fathers could have dreamt of ;: and shetvti More bad iaste and less judgment during the comparatively short time they have flourished than is to be fOund in the AVhole mass of the literary productions of all the Ittithoi!.s whci wrote befo're their day. The tilost prcintinent and cl6racteriStic faults which hare disgusted us with. M. CH ATEAUBH rAN6 aic, first his affectation. This disfigures almost every page written by him Which we haVe read and it destroys the efforts of an iniagination sci powerful, that if Ft were propttrly regulated and: chastened by the exercise of the other intellectual faculties in theitt dile vigour, it would itnpart Illation and delight. His next &eat fault is a Want or perversion of judgment. Some silly notions about ,simplicity, and nature, and sentiments, arni imprestions, have so completely posS .ssed his . mind, that every good thought ,is destroyed be—' fore it can be fortried or arran . geil ; or if, by a rare,chance it escapes this, it is by and In'e spread, out, and worn down to something so miserably. trite or incoherent, that we shut the book in de— chair, after our common sense has been tired out with rant and ,absurdity.-I-Of his bad taste, anti personal and national vanity, there is also perms petual cause to c omplain.—llls observaiionS are s!iallow and c ircumscribed, while his remarks are. any thing rother than shrewd. —is for facts, they are things with which he meddles very sparingly: tbey are far beneath his notice. But we muss; pass to the woLlt above-named. • • It is not easy to understand from the perusal of the book, what can have induced M, Chateau= briand to choose the title ‘lkhich is prefixed to it His descriptions are for the most part very pool and imperfect, his observations so vague, ntnt his style so verbose ; that we cannot help think-‘' ins, that, in composing this work, he has, for the greater part, been more indebted for hip rt collections to some other of his mental faeultieg than his int:awry. Italy is the first country which he atteniiiis td . describe. Hi's' account of Elwin; -and its . eh-.' virous is, in our Opinion, the most pleasing part of the first volume, just because it is the most ,descriptive. Digressions and canting specula tiOns on matters of taste occur leis frequently in what he Las written under the head of " Italy,'' except in the. latter part, which contains his visit to .Mont Blanc. Here he enters into a disci's—. sion on mountains, and pug,e after page contains . most del(!!ctable specimens of the absurd.. We. must give an . example of the worthy gentleman's rhodomontade on this subject.—Aster a number of pages; 'in which he is of opinion that moun tains, though tolerable at a distance, are neither grand nor sublime when e,;atnined more cleisely atter a great many explanations which are all contradictory, and elucidations which only in— crease, the confusion Of ideas, we meet with the following passage :- - " But to arrive finally at my peculiar opinion as to mountains ) will observe that as there can be no beautiful landscape without a mountainous horizon, so there is no place calculated fOr ati Agreeable residence, and ati landsopc which it satisfactory to the eye And heart, Where a lefi ciency of space and air exists: Still the idea of great sublimity is attache() to mountainous views; and-tVith great justice; aS far as regards the gran - deur .of objects ; but if it be proved that this grandene, though real hi its effects is nut pro perly perceived by the senses; what hew mei of the sublimity ?"—p. 64. • What a coulurok's question How enviable th 6 faculty of being sensible iliac objects are.not grand, while the grandeur is imperceptible to the senses But we really suspect, that discussion momitains, poor NECHATEAUBRIAND gut 1010 tiit: clouds; and we fear those re ader§ (vbos.e letts are not, bewildered ii, the nikt,%t;ill apc to think that he has w riiten very obscurely.At a oti:eit place i,lking of Mount V n esuvius, he says : ; " it n.ould semi tli t this voicand has no very reinuediaLle cifect upon tL e Nisiturs o which cows
