Switzerland is .of course the scene of aftion in
this dramatic 51.:tcch, and the fable is chiefly as fol-
lows :

Old Valteline turning"awaY his servant Timothy, and re-
fusing to give him a character—Timothy in _vain reminds him
that l►e expeas Cavalier Poinposo every momentoo inquire
if he be the excellent servant lie ha I that morning described
himself to his nkce—Old.Valteline'stil teftises to give him
a character, and leaves hint-7TimOthy, according to his usual
custom, sits down at his ouster's toilette, and begins shaving
himself before he goes; at this moment Cavalier Pomposo
enters, and Timothy h;:ing• in the suds, mistakes him for
Old Valteline. Timothy perceiving this, gives his own cha.
ratter;. the Cavalier hires him ; and, through the rest of the
Piece Timothy is involVed in equivoque with his two mas-
ters. Young Valteline is enamoured of Lauretta, neice to
Vomposo, and becomes finally united to her, after having
made his escape from the prison in which he is confined in
consequence at being denounced a traitor by the Swiss Coon..
cil, and the Viece ends with the demolition of the Castle,
and the final happiness of the Lovers.

This Piece is, we understand, the acknowledged
production of Mr REYNOLDS, who has been incited,
by the success of his Driver and his Dog, to try
his hand at another Farce calculated to please the
present taste for show and splendJur of scenery. In
this respeEt he has, in a great degree, succeeded,
though, after Richard Caur de Lion, Lodoiska, and
other entertainments of the same kind, it was ra.
ther putting his reputation at hazard to compose
such productions as the work before us. 'lt is in-
deed to be inferred, that Mr. REYNOLI39 has, on
this Occasion, aimed rather at profit than at fame.--
There is, however, some whim and diverting
situations in this Piece, though it has certainly no-
thing striking in point of novelty to recommend it,
The Author has not wholly relied upon showy sce.
nery, or dramatic incident, but has pressed into
his service the comic and musical powers of some of
the best Performers which this' Theatre affords.—
He has besides, the advantage of some very pleasing
music from Mr. Reeve.

BRAHANT introduced one song of his own corn.
posing : the subje4 of this song is very appropriate
to the scene of naion, for the hero of it is William
Tell, the celebrated Patriot of Switzerland. The
chief comic prop of the Piece is FAWCETT, who
displayed much humour and power of mimicry. The
Proprietors have amply discharged their duty,for the
scenery and the dresses are piauresque and splen.
did. BRAFIANI sung admirably, and STORACE
erted herself with great spirit. The Home was
crowded, and the Piece was received with great
applause.
