The iruth,..however, is, that it possesses ,Intrinsic merits, which far,eclipse those of more recent date, and it is by no means liberal to pour out a torrent of abuse upon a work which has long been established in public favour, which has the support of excel s : lent music, and which was . written by a Gentleman who is univet sally and most deservedly Mr. 13HAZil, on this, as on all occasions, displayed those vocal talents which are without a.rival on the English Stage, and in . all his songs received the warmest applause from a very numerous audience.
