THZ TIIE/ITRE.

On Saturday the admirable, play of The City-
Madam, written by MASSII4GtRi with onnsions
and alterations, suited to the tastes of the present,
times, was lip ought forward at the Lyceum, under
the title of lliches, ,or ‘he Wife and Brother. The;
Play, as originally written, abounds with Vigorous
sentitneut, arious and strong marked .charaeler;
elegance, and . 'strength of language. There are,
however, passages which are calculated to offend the.
nicer taste of the age, and these are properly:
omitted.

The
.Public are indeb'ed for the • revival of
this excellent Play to Sir JAMES 13.1.1)
BURGESS, a-Gentleman of well-known literary and.
poetical talents. He has rerfortned his task in a
very able manner, having touched the original text
with the reverence due to so masterly a .writer as
MASSINGER, vile of the great fathers of the Eng-
lish Drama. The character of a proud, imperious,
and extravagant wife is well .pourtrayed in Lady'
Frugal, now called Lady Traffic, and, Lite iirliu-
ence of such, a chataeter in moulding the disposi-
tions of the daughters is shown with 'equal
The author has drawn a monster in Luky, and Sir
J. BURGESS has not softened its features. Thispart
was very well performed by llfuown. `The-part
ofLadj-Traffic was ail, tted to Mrs. EDWIN,. whose
only lauit in it (a fault which unhappily will lessen
every day) is that she looked too young for it.. The
play itself is so tery different, as 'well as so much
superior to the dramatic produ&ions of the present
day, that the andience\ could hardly be expected to
relish its merits at once, and therefore, though it ex-
cited much app}ause, it was not without partial dis-
approbation. We doubt not, however, that it will
improve on' repetition, and be at length received
with the approbation due to the remains of one of
the most powerful and eloquent of our Elder llx-r-
-thatic Writers.

Very considerable reinforcements, both, of ca7alry
and infantry, are about' to be sent to our army in
Portugal. The 13th Light Dragoons is amongSt

warrant a prolongrtion of the struggle there, the

agreeable intelligence• that Chuigsaca has espoused
the•Sentirrienti of this citY.
. The important fads communicated in the above
have led to the material: change in the commercial
policy of the Goeintiaent of Buenos. Ayres, an-
nounced in the following extract of 'a letter t— ;
' " BUENOS AIRES,' SEPT. 27; 1809.-1 tae the
lib:-:rty to observe,' that the necessities of this Go-
, vertu:nein, nut their. good wishes to.w4rds English-
men or str.mgers, are. about to• compel it to open
their ports to foreign cot-muerte. La Paz, the capi-
tal cf the Audiencia of Los Charias, has deposed its
Prli:sident, and exiled the Archbishop, establishing
a -provincial Government, at 'the head of which is
~the Royal Audencia. but governed by the popular
voice, which is represented by the Cabildo, or City
Council. The 'King's money, •comscrquence of
the state of affairs, is not perinittk .to' come tQ
Buenos Ayres' ; and this, the principal source by
which the Government has hitherto been supported,
. being completely .done away, the Viceroy na's pro-
posed to open the ports to free commerce, as the
only meaus by which an adequate revenue can he
supplied,' to sustain his Government. A majarity
of the Cabildo and Consulado approve of the mea-
sure. All -the partitions and landed interest are us-
ing every exertion to support the liberal and patriotic
plan. The. opponents are such as have large quad:
sities of goods on hand, and some wealthy Spaniards,
who wish to continue their counettton 'with the
mother country, Whatever may be its situation or
government. However, the business is soon to be
determined, say in 15 01-20 day's, and I have seated
a doubt but it will, be in fivour of a frac colninetcto
with Etigland at least."
