THE Tragedy of Edward tke Bleck Ptilke wfis >, revived last night at. this Theatte:',":lt'Was'written by Wtr.i.imit atrt,'E‘q. a Oentlemirr who was many years ago employed in a' public chara6er at Portugal; and it was originally'brotightlBrward at Drury-Lane Theatre is the year t 1 5 .6.7 . The AuthOr.professedli wrote play tion of SHALiPEARE'S style, but be diffi_ cult to trace ,any resemblance bet,ween it and the langUage of dtit great dramatic Bard, excFpt in such passages as were derived from his works. The Play. is indeed a very indifferent Coinlioition. It is without anion, incident, or' hustle, and consists chiefly of long and': tedious dialogue, eitcept in sante parts which appeal'-to the, patriotic feelings of Englishmen, and which, bearing a strong applici_ tion to the martial virit of the times, and menaced hostility of the French; had a paVverful cffet upo'n the . audience. _ are sorry to say that the aning in general was not much calculated to give energy to the Play. Pore was too solemn and sententious for the Hero of the Piece, who, we must however acknowledge, is not drawn by the Author with much tharadetistic spirit. Bitattybioaa's Ribemoni was the best effort of the whole. rtAit.totin laboured through the part of Arnold, which requires more tenderness than he is qualified to display. The little part of Cardi ital Peripri was very ably performed by the veteran PActax. Even DicinvM, by comparison, appeared to some advantage in Tragedy, and when advert. ing to the hostile aims of the French he exclaimed— " Now, by nil soul, I wish we were at work," excited no small degree of applause, mingled however with a ludicroUs feeling arising from the homeliness of the expression, in whidh this burst of heroic ardour was conveyed.
