About eight the same night, her Majesty and his Royal Highness arrived at Bath, having been met by Samuel Rodbcrt, Esq.

POI . the folloWing Critique on the ,representa tinn of Macbeth On Monday last, •at Drury- . Lane Thtitr.e; Mil S-are indebted to an intelligent friend , front Whom we have often received; and hope of ten to receive, many valuable contributions. It Came too late for insertion yesterday, bat we are Sure that it will be gratifying to eery Reader of taste and judgment, thong!) ive have already no ticed the perforniance . - Macbeth was performed Wit night, before a full; it not an overflowing audience,—Kertia, course, was the ambitious Thane ; and assuredly he has not, since the last season, lost one iota of his skill or energy. The illusion was perfect ; and, through the whole piece, his sincere attach ment to Duncan, his growing belief in the witches, his kindling ambition, his dread of crime,. his fear of shame, his acquiescence with his wile, his re morse, his despair, his hardening cruelty, were all pout-frayed in the most faithful and vivid co lours. When he appeared in his usurped robes of manarchy; he exhibited, whether accidentally or otherwise, the exact image of the modern User per, who is now caged as a rarer monster,' upon his rock of transportation. The saute dark and perturbed countenance, the same conscious ness of past crime, and forethought of crime to come—all reminded us of film who topped Macbeth' in guilt, and fell below him in mean ness, by consenting to live. We wish that an eclair) share of panegyric could he bestowed on the Lady Macbeth of the evening. Miss CAMPBELL was neither•persnasive nor com manding. Her manner did not create an ade quate excuse tot influence exercised in so extreme and fatal an object. She was jocose and sarcas tic, where she ought to have been stern and im placable. This is.. the least pleasing part of eti deism ; yet it is kinder, perhaps, to the young Lady, to note her errors, which certainly have less of origioal sin than of bad habit. (inc or two of these we beg to notice. lo reading time letter. she_ expressed her astonishment ..hy a pause, not at the arcomstances of the witches' vanishing, but at their vanishing into—air ! The process of evanition were not, very easily managed into any other tlemeat : and the sudden dis appearance of the ghostly visitants were cueing!' to excite as much surprise as Miss CAMPBELL gave exntession.to. In this, however, she can plead example:--but then, she must confess copy. — But ing the sleep-walking scene, she did not appear to be asleep :—but we must not censure a fault which is so extremely difficult to be avoided, and which can be encountered only , by the most coo summate skill. Why, however, we must ask— why, while Mrs. Brumes , remains on the hoards, is Lady Macbeth given to - any other actress " The speaking witches were excellent : Mt/N -bEN was most accurately horrible. The singing ones were any thing hut witches : some of them, Mrs COOKE and Miss KELLY, for instance, looked bewitching, but not witchly. The majority of them were smart -Lassies in tartan scarves and petti coats ; to whom time speaking witches afforded a singular contrast. SMITH, in Hecate, growled to the very bass note of his bass voice :—hut he did n• t. look even like a masculine , female was man all over. ‘ 01 the subordinate characters we have little to say.—Pore's Dungan_ wanted his usual energy : he did not appear like the friend and associate of Macbeth. RAE'S MaCcitig * was excellent in the last scene stuck up to Macbeth . with' a per severance, which, in the pugilistic language, would take no denial. To speak of Kessi again— the fight, and his death, were faultlessly admi rable :—but without the assistance. of RAE, halt their effect would have been lost. • "By the way—we have two enquiries to make. Why was the abrupt question 'of 'Macduff, Wherefore did you so ?'—upoo Macbeth's ex pression of - his regret for having slain the King's servants, given to Banquo, as a common en quiry ?—Why, but - that indeed is a general error, was the letter of Macbeth written on halt a sheet of Whity-brown paper ; as if the peat Thane had slept into a grocer's shop, a nd watered up his communication in the envelope of.half a pound' at figs ?—ln such - gener - al and Pervading splem:our and correctness as marked the whole drama, so petty all error is . the more otteosive. " We canton stop, without animadverting on the shamettil noise in time galleries ; which more thanamee threatened the interruption of, the piece. Were there no constables in the house ?—or could none be brought into it ?" Mr. H.

A curious conversation is said to liave t3kert place, eight hours after NA PoLcos's landing at Cannes, between him and the Prince of MONACO. formerly first Everry to JosErut NE. It W:IS at One o'clock in the morning ; the,moou had been tip about half an hone. NAPOLEON was standing; in the bivouac of his soldiers, with his back turned towards a small fire. The Prince of MONACO , vas presented, and immediately recognized him : un til then he had refused to give any credit to the report of his being there. " W(tat," said he, " your Majesty here ! It is then usciess for me to continue my route to my principality. A di vision of your army has WitliOlit doubt, ere now, taken possession of it.''—" And of what nation. is that division, pray )"—" It is impossible for me to say," replied the Prince; " perhaps Aus trians or Engl i sh: . — t. wh at 1. d o you suppose Me to be base enough to enter France wiih a foreign army ? No you behold it all—all are Frenchmen ; and the whole force does not amount to 3000 men ; they will march by in about. art hour's time, and you may then go on to your des tination."—" And to where do you proceed in this manner i"—" To Paris." Immediately afterwards. NAPOLEON made a signal, and the rest of the audi tors retired, leaving the;;; to converse together, which they did for nearly'half an hour, about some persons of their acquaintance ; but nothing further of the conversation has transpired.
