If these inconsistencies which Continually re-

eur iu every piece, and in -almost every scene,
were the.fa. ults of soMe'obicure author or. writer
of mediocrity, we Might thence 'coric,lnde; as,. bas
ahead beo done rather flippantly, that.ccnnedy
Mriong the ancients Was .yet. in its infancy. But
when we -are cotnpelled to ;acknOwletige:.tlfat.
.theseWprks• are in general wellplanned, that the.
characterS are drawn- and- Sustained throughout
with the ntinestsperfection,..that the incidents are
introdtqed with4teat. art, and that the dialogue,
full of set*: it, and vivacity, is always cousin-
tent with the-sUbject of the piece the•conditiou
and character' of the personages, and the eircinn-.
stances. in which, 'they are placed ; it seems: but.
reasonable to ;noire into the causes which have
made able .men like Plautus arid. Terence .com-
mit such gross
.errors. Let us therefore first.
examine the State of the theatre among the_
RomatiS tefOre the: establishment the empire.
The theatrei were immense, and by the Woid"
theatre we, here mean that part of the edifice'
which was OccuPied_by the 'audience. Plays were
exhibited' gratuitously ; all classeS of Society
were admitted, and even the slaves were present
at. the pi)/inui Ccit;eit. " It wits therefore necessary
that the play represented should please men of`
all ranks, and shOuld flatter the vanity of this
'prim& People, who' thought 'themselves' destined.
to be the masters of the• world. This was the
reason ituthori addressed their prologues
,to
the •audie'nee, in which they endeavoured to con:.
ciliate popular favoer • and with thesame design
they' deseribed only leernati manners and customs
in comedies- where the subjects were professedly
Greek,- anal represented the streets, public-walks,
and buildings of Rome in the city, of Athens.
Every thing
,was Roman in these Greek pieces,
like. the: French who -give a French air .to the
heroes of G.reece and Rome, • •
Ina theatre which contained seventy Or eighty
thousand. spectators, it was
.IIQ easy thing for
actor.tO make himself heard; and it was indeed
a noble triumph to command the .attention and
silence of the people-king. The success of the
piece depended more or less on the art displayed
by the author in making it intelligible.. To re-
peat the same phrases two or three times 1..0u1d
have
.been article continuance, and besides would
have shocked the self-love or the patience of the
audience. It became therefore' requisite to err-i
ploy considerable ingenuity in arrNging the
dents and scenes so as to render thenfintelligible
to. the meanest capaCity, -without dernandinz tdo
great a degree of attention. If these rellectio.i!s
are intitled to any weight, they will serve to'ex-
plain the inconsistencies of the.ancient comedie
and, the apparent defects of their authors., .A
prologue announces the .subject, traces the pro-
gressof the piece, and the characters of thedru-
malls persona.. As soon as one Of them appears
on the stage, he discloses in a soliloquy or a side
speech every thing which had • previously oc-
.curred, an
d even ; what. he was going to do, itt
order that the well informed public .might he
curious to observe .how he would act and speak.
The necessity, of tints anticipating:the action and
scenes, to render them clear and intelligible .to
the. Multitude, exeltded all .possibility of pro-
ducing illusion; 'and consequently authors never
attempted it. We must therefore, consider t4se
representation ofancient comedies as a species 'of
lectures delivered by several persons, the thread
of which is interrupted from time to time:by side
speeches or soliloquies, necessary to explain the
obscurities and prepare the hearer for the event,
We do not now-allude to trivial. expressions, ob-..
scene equivoques, and vulgar .witticisms
offeAd us so, frequently in Plautus. Republican
licence, • and gratuitous admissions ,into the
theatres when every thing was performed for and
by the people, and the necessity of amusing the
plebs. et plebecula, are , sufficient answers to ,this
reproach. At a later period, when society tints,
more polished, and The populace ha,d lost their
influence,. Terence was then enabled to write in
a more refined and chaste
.style. This explains
why Clan), a thorough Republican, admired •
Plautus, while 114 race, a Courtier, deems,his
rather coarse. The faults of the ancient conic
wyiters arc the faults of the age, and not depend-
ing.on themselves; their beauties are' their own.
If yet any scruples exist . on. this subject, this
single reflection 'ought in our opinion to remOv-e
them. '•Suppose plays were now eahibited gra-
tuitously, and in the open ; air. as, 'among the
ancients, to .thirty or forty thousand peewits- he-
longing.to every class of society, is it not evident
that we should be.obliged to create a new‘species
of.drama4 to substitute general, comedy for'ha-
tional, and to ,have- recourse lb the arts:, practised
by the. ancient writers td.make themselves,under-
stood by this multitude and to ;lapse ..them
These observations appear .to us Calclthlted to
chew in 'their true light the real merits ,of ;the
rnaster-pieces of the ancients, and ,we see no
other mode of reconciling the Areat talents of
Plan sus and Terence with faults'from Which even
the pieces perforn.ed at ottr minor theatres are
exeMpt.. In another article we propose to exa-

-Yesterday, at six o'clock, his Excellency
Count Sailler de Latour,COmmander-in Chief of
the Royal Armies, and GOvernor 'General of
Piedmont, entered this-city, attended by a
bril-
liant Staff, and the head quarters. At the same
time entered the Brigadier of Infantry and the
Grenadier Guards of Piedniont and'of Aosta, the
Royal Piedmont Regiment :Of. Cavalry, and a
- battalion of the Royal. Light Regiment. The
soldiers drew up in the Piaiza Reale, and in that
contiguons to the Castle, • and amidst the sounds
of their bands of music uttered the joyful cry of
"Long live the King ?" A Battalion of the Royal
Legion reljeved the same evening the local Na.
tione.l Guard, which did dutylil the citadel. At
the approach of night the whole city •was splen-
didly illuminated. Yesterday also a Body
Guard, a battery of 12 cannon, escorted by a
corps of Royal Carabineers on horseback and on
foot, and the Brigade of Ctineo, returned from
Novara.

The return of these brave troops, who have
given so many and such striking proofs of fide-
lity to their Sovereign, the spirit by which they
are animated, the discipline they observe, the
name of the General in Chief, and his personal
character, will suffice to restore among us that
tranquillity which all have been longing
. for. Let the people, Who. 'never took
. part, cheerfully resume their occupations—
let those families who, to escape the state of
anxiety in which we were, had sought tranquil-
•lity in the country, . joyfully return to their

FRENCH PAPERS. •
PAars, Amur. 18.—A private letter from Per-
pignan (chief town of the department of the
EaStern Pyrenees) dated the- 9thinstant;states
that "the news of the failure of the insurrection ih
Naples has excited a strong sensation- in Cita-
, lonia. Some of the most ardent enthusiasts of
the constitutional system, under-the pretence
that they must secure those -who were' its enemies;
and who-Were denominated 'Sertitei, drew up a
list, whiCh thtyy..tresented to 'the loCal.autho-
rities, and 'deinanded their arrest :.this arbitrary
measure was; of course, resisted.; but the ferment,
•in consequence, became so' alarming that the
Magistrates were 'compelled to yield; and.during
• •• the night of the 4th instant upward's of -c.20 per-
sons were arrested in their beds. AmOn.g. the
most eminent of these are the General- Waren
d'Eroles, General Farfield, the Bishop of Barce-
lona, the Senior Vicar General, several Canons,
the Superior of the Order of Capuchins, General
Pournas, Campbell, Roxa, and several inhabitants
of high consideration. General Fournas was the.
only one who could obtain permission to proceed
to France, and he arrived.here this day. The
commotion is not yet appeased in Barcelona, and
every thingindicates that it will extend to other
provinces, and even to Math-id. It is said that
orders have been issuedfor the arrest of the
Bishops of Tarragona, Torrosa, and Vich.-1

VIENNA, Apatt. 8,---The news from Turkey
becoines daily more important. There is a vast
fermentation in Servia, and that province will
soon follow the example of Walachia and Mol-
davia. Troops are everywhere collecting for the
purpose of combatina. the Porte. The inhabitants
of the Morea and Albania participate in the same
feeling. It is difficult to obtain certain intelli-
gence of what is passing ; hut affairs must
be serious, if we judge from • the movements
of our troops; who had received orders to
forsn .a cordon, extending from Semlin along
the frontier of the Bannat to that of Mol-
davia. The Porte has adopted the resolution of
sending a strong army into the provinces of the
North, and of acting with. energy against the
rebels. We are assured that all the Greeks act
on one plan, and that they have an understanding
with Ali-Pacha. Be thiS as it may, the latter
will find means to profit of the diversion which
has been made directly or indirectly in his favour.
Since the entrance of our troops into Naples,.
the public attention is completely directed to
Turkey. The events in Moldavia and Walachia
have an influence on our Exchange, Where the
number of Greek merchants is considerable. The
promises of Ypsilanti are contradicted by the de-
claration of the Emperor Alexander; and it is
possible that the enlightened part of the popu-
lation will preVent the mass froth folloWing the
standard of rebellion. The last accounts from
Constantinople are far from satisfactory. The
indignation of the Porte is at its height. . The
Dragoman Callimachi, who was dismissed on the
Bth of- last month, has since been beheaded, and
several Greeks 'of distinction have experienced
the same destiny.
MILAN, APRIL 9.—Our Gazette of this day
contains the following official intelligence :
" Count Bubna, Commander in chief in Lom-
bardy, bting informed that the Pi.edmontese re-
bels were advancing on Novara, to attack that
part of the Piedmontese army which remained
faithful to the King, under the command of Ge-
neral Latour, resolved to march to his assistance.
With this view abridge of boats was established
over the Tesino, near Buffarola, and it was prac-
ticable on the 7th at eight in the evening. The
corps under the command of his Excellency im-
mediately effected the passage. The troops post-
ed at Pavia, and at Abbiategrasso, also passed on
two bridges, the former at Gropello and Va-
leggio, the latter at Vigaevano and Mortava.—
As soon as the river was passed, the General
published the following Proclamation in Italian
and French :

" Piedmontese !—.The Imperial and Royal army has been
obliged to pass the Tesino, in consequence of the hostile move-
ments of Alessandria. The object of this march is solely to sup-
port the army of your King against every aggression, by repel-
ling force by force. •
This conduct must give confidence to those whose fidelity
to their legitimate sovereign is superior to the' viCissitudes-of the
Moment. • Recognise then, Piedmontese, your'real friends and
allies, by the assistance we give to the royal army. I have more
them once fought beside, you. in days of

esteem assures to us the renewal of such o-ays.

Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday arrived
this day. The last accounts from Constantinople
represent that city to have been thrown into the
greatest consternation, on receipt of the intelli-
gence of the Greek Insurrection in Wallachia
having extended to 'Moldavia ; but nothing could
exceed the terror and alarm of the Porte on re-
ceiving dispatches announcing that Prince YPSI.•
LANTI had put himself at the head of the insur-
rection, and that the whole Greek population of
Turkey in Europe bad made common cause with
their countrymen in Wallachia and Moldavia.
—We have given copious extracts from the
French Papers in our preceding columns ; and
the following proceedings at Madrid, on the ar-
rival of intelligence that the Neapolitan Revolu-
tion bad miscarried, will be perused with consi-
derable interest :

" MADRID, Arr.u. 10.

" CORTES—Sitting Of the Sth of April. The
Minister of War read a letter from General Vil-
lacarnpa., dated Barcelona, April 2, in which
was 'contained an account of the late military.
events in the Kingdom of Naples.
cc The Minister at the same time delivered a
Messilee' from the king "to the Cortes, in which
his Majesty stated, that the fate of Naples
could not have any influence on that of Spain ;
that the King of the two Sicilies being in the
midst of the Austrian Armies must be considered
as in a state of constraint, and all his acts regarded
as null and void ;—that Spain proclaimed her
COnstitution without relying on the assistance of
the Neapolitans, and knew how to defend it,
-whatever might be the destiny of other nations;
but as evil disposed persons might avail themselves
of these circumstances to disturb the public tran-
quillity,his MAJEST,Y had ordered his Ministers, in
conjunction with the Cortes, to propose measures
for maintaining the constitutional system. His
.D.ajesty saw with compassion the situation of the
King of Naples, surrounded by the enemies'
army, and is convinced that the interposition of
armed force is hostile to tEe liberty and happi-
ness of nations ; that fully aware how fatal. it is
for Princes and subjects not to be faithful to
their oaths and declarations, his Majesty takes this
opportunity of renowing his declaration, that' he

is firmly resolved to maintain the Constitution to
which he has sworn, and by which he is deter-
mined to govern this great nation.
" This declaration by the Minister, on the part
of the King, produced a great effect on the As-
sembly. Several speakers, and especially Senor
Moreno Guerra, proposed that an address of
thanks should be presented to his Majesty, which

proposition was carried.
" The Cortes then took into consideration the
situation of the Neapolitan Deputies who had

taken refuge in Spain.
" The following resolution was adopted :
That the Cortes authorise the Government to
appropriate and include in the Budget, whatever
sums may be deemed necessary for the suitable
maintenance of the Neapolitan Deputies and Ge-
nerals, who, flying from a foreign domination,
shall seek an asylum in the Spanish territory.'"

" FRONTIERS OF MOLDAVIA, MARCH 31.
" It is reported that an insurrection has taken
place at Constantinople, and that a Prince and a
Banker of that city had each given 1,500,000
piastres towards the arming of the Greeks.
" It is said, that in a Greek club at Odessa,
after the reading of the proclamation of Prince
YPSILANTI, 200 individuals declared themselves
ready to join him ; and that considerable sums
of money were advanced, which were distributed
among the lower orders, to induce them to em-
brace the cause of this Chief.
4‘ A courier 'from Jassy confirms the report,
that YPSILANTI has marched on Romai and Foks-
chan with a select body of 4,000 Arnauts; that
10,000 Greeks have taken the same route, and
that more are arriving daily from Bessarabia.
" JASSY, MARCH 19. •
" Prince YPSILANTI marched from this town
with a corps of 20,000 Arnauts, Moldavians, and
Greeks, and five pieces of cannon. Prince Suzzo
continues his levies with the greatest activity :
he has abundant supplies of money."
The French Five per Cents left off on the 19th, at 32 f. 20 c.
and Bank Stock dosed at 1545 f.

It is impossible not to contemplate the pros

pect which is now open before us in Greece and

Turkey without interest and anxiety. The events
which are transpiring in those countries will
deeply affect the welfare, as well political as
commercial, of Great Britain, and they conse-
quently suggest many difficult and delicate ques-
tions for the-consideration of our Government.
There is no man who does not anticipate ivith
proud exultation and delight the downfall of

Turkish despotism in Greece, and the liberatio

of the oppressed Grecians, and their re-establish-
ment in the seat of their ancestors. Not only
might we look forward to the revival of learning,
of arts, and of arms in Greece, when the iron
yoke under which she now bends shall be bro-
ken, but a Grecian State, the free and indepen-
dent ally of Great Britain, would form a con-
necting link in the social bond ofCommerce, and
open a mine of wealth, by the. extension of our
trade and exports to those countries. It is ob-
vious that Russia is also deeply interested in this
event; and, however she may mask the assist-
ance which is extended to the Greeks in the
present struggle for their liberty and indepen-
dence, it is absurd to suppose that she does not
afford that assistance, and it would be unwise in

this country not to shape its conduct accordingly.
The day has not perhaps arrived when Greece
might be restored to its former pre-eminence and
rank in the scale of nations, with that equal and
reciprocal advantage to all the European Powers,
which is desirable ;. but as the standard of li-
berty has been raised, and as the Greeks have
subjected themselves to the ferocious retaliation
of merciless tyrants, if their cause fails, it would,
in our opinion, be equally cruel and impolitic to
raise up difficulties to impede, or to defeat their
course. There are, .as may easily be imagined;
many contradictory rumours afloat on a subject
of so much importance ; we shall, therefore, at
present merely refer our Readers to the informa-

tioa which is to be derived from the French
Papers, leaving them to judge of the probable
accuracy of the various statements.

The follow ing extract of a Decree by the King
Of PORTUGAL, issued through the Secretary of
State's Office for foreign Affairs, has been pub-
lished in Liverpool :

" Rio jAsExitO, DEC. 2, 1320.—That from the Ist of June,
