THA .4TRI.S.

COVENT-GARDEN.
The Rerrage was performed here last night. Mr.
gkstat.e sustained the arduois character of Tsang'.
Ile appeared in it to great advantage. In all the
scenes where he 'nfuses the poison of jealousy into
the breast of .4/erine, he displayed the most con-
summate address. It was impossible to escape wiles
lit;cl with so much artifice, and hence the wrongs of
the generous and ilnstispricti:ig Alonzo sink deep into
the heart, and avraken all its pity. If, in the early
part of the charaCter, he delighted the audience by
his judgment iral accurate knowledge of the work-
ings and progress of the passion which he engen-
dered and matured, in the concluding scenes be
a..dindished them, by his force and energy in the ex-
pressions of the triumph of his revenge. The scene
where he reveals himself to A/onso, and explains the
nsotivesof his conduct, abounded in beauties. His
rat -is and sarcasms displayed the most command-
ing pe,Acts, and excited the most forceful interest.
He Was ably seconded by Mr. CH Aar.rs K Mate,
in Anse. This gentleman is greatly improved,
and last ntpht displayed much force and feeling.
His Aka was, in general, very fine ; hut, in the
conclusion of the last scene, we thougnt it de-
fe9ive. He clenched his fist, twisted his arm,
and knitted his blows; hurling defiance at the
Moor. AM, sue, who, a little beforn, bed suffered
himself to be trodden upon by the Mood-, caight,
by this time, to be entirely sunk in grief and
broken-lirarted. Mrs. Lircisrtet.o, was an inter-
esting Leonora. The energy of this Lady, is some-
times carried to violence, and she thinks it necessary
•totte loud, to be imntessive Her Leo/,0P4 was free
frmr mese faults ; she displayed much softness, and
was deeply interesting. The dresses of Zany/ and
Ake add were uncommonly splendid and the piece,
upon t‘•e whd le, was admirably got up. The House
b—vted .1 mu:tennis and brilliant audience.
