serious penis, such as those of Etchylus) in which
he would have had the art, by conforminglo the
circumstances of his •tirne,, of representing to the
Athenians the great features of their mythology
or their history. Whence it may be concluded-,
that if he was bani Shed, as well as Archilochtts,
as a corrupter of morals,, it was because his im-1
perfect representations-were then only Bauble
dYthyrambics relieved by simple recitals. •
After having attacked the almost universally
admitted origin of tragedy, it was absolutely
necessary that M. Raoul-Rochette . should find
out another for it: We will not follow him in
his profound researches on this subject, but shall
give, the result.
" In the rustic festivals of the Athenians,=
" which had their origin in the earliest periods
cc of antiquity, choruses of men and children
cc sang ex,tempore poetic effusions, and the prize
" of the best poem was a tripod. It was under
" this last form, and among this class of men,
" that the dythyrambic by degrees gave birth
46 to dramatic. poetry."
But if theSe festivals, from the remotest anti-
quity among the Athenians, gave birth to tra-
gedy a considerable time before Thespis, why
'did the Athenians attribute this invention to
Thespis ? This lively, vain people, would they
have neglected, to claim to themselves the ancient
origin of an art which constituted their delight?
Would they have left the henour of asserting
their pretensions to an ingenious Frenchman,
born three thousand years later ? Moreover,
we shall again refer to ttymologY. M. Raoul-
tochette, who has declared' war against the'
goat, pretends that this animal did not figure at
all in the ancient festivals 'of 'which he Speaks,
and that they gave:as a prize for the best song
a tripod. But tripod in. Greek is called tripous,
and riot tragos : the exhibition derived from these
festivals ought not therefore to have been called
tragedy, but rather trirody.
We have considered it a duty we owe to the
great authors of antiquity, to combat the new
doctrine of M. Raoul-ttochette on the origin of
tragedy, and we now leave the world to judge
between us.—(Gazetie de France, Jan. 12.)
London, England, 1821-01-20

We have received-French Papers up to the
17th instant. The Budget for the present year
was presented to the Chamber of Deputies by

he Minister of Finance on the 16th. It wi

be taken into consideration at a future day,
which is not yet fixed. It is supposed the Cham-
ber will not meet again until Monday or Tues-
day next. A Grand Deputation frbm the
Chamber has been appointed to assist at
the funeral ceremony which will be celebrated
to-morrow at the Cathedral of Saint Denis, in
commemoration of the anniversary- of the 21st

January.
The last accounts from Naples state that the
Parliament has appointed a military Board to
inspect the state of the army and fortresses, and
to exaluine the plans submitted to or adopted by

the late Minister of War. This Board is to
deliver in a Report weekly; to furnish the
National Guard with arms and ammunition
in readiness to proceed to the frontiers at a
moment's notice. General Pipr, AMBROSIO, and
ARCOVITO, who command the three PiVisions of
the Army, have -joined' their respective forc'es.

The PRINCE REGENT has also formed a Board of
General Officers, to arrange plans for the defence
of the Country. The arrangernents of the late
Minister of War have been adopted by this
Board, but the formation of a Military Board by

the Parliament, clearly evinces the distrust of the
prevailing party in the Assembly. Sicily is
represented in the Neapolitan Journals to be
perfectly tranquil ; yet, private Letters men-
tion, that some symptoms of discontent have
manifested themselves in that Country. Seve-
ral persons had been arrested, but there was
no open revolt. On the 28th and 29th of last
month very warm debates took place in the Nea-
politan Parliament respecting the Ex-Ministers of
the Interior and Foreign Affairs, who were called
upon to explain their conduct. After they had been
heard in their defence, and several Members had
spoken on the subject, one of the Members moved
that the sitting be adjourned sing die, which

[FROM A CORRESPONDENT.]

PRISON DISCIPLINE.—It seems now, beyond a
doubt, that the improvements in our Prisons
render them more comfortable abodes to many
of their inmates than their own habitations. If
prisoners are to have the best of every thing,
without the best of hard work, the consequences
are obvious. We trust that no false humanity
will be permitted to run counter to common
sense. The best illustration of this subject will
be the following extract from a recent Belfast
Paper :

" COMFORT IN JAIL.—The improvement, as it is called
by mistaken philanthropy, in prison discipline, which has been
so generally adopted, instead of making our jails places of pu-
nishment, has converted them into very comfortable lodgings
for the vagrant and indigent. -On Wednesday last, James
Tacey, William Armstrong, and Flanagan, were libe-
rated from Carrickfergus jail after imprisonment since last
Assizes ; the two former declared they were much more com-
fortable in prison than out of it. On the following Friday the
above-mentioned persons were re-committed to their old quar-
ters, after an absence of Corfly two days, for a robbery committed
near this town !"

On the Allegorical Picture of The BIRTH of +lc TiramEs,.
by MARIA COSWAY.

By .TORY TAYLOR, Esq.
Majestic DENHAM, in his lofty lays,
dives to MD THAMES the meed of lasting praise,
And marks One beauties of the noble stream
In numbers flowing as his honour'd theme :
Mama's genius shews its INFANT SOURCE,
With fancy, spirit; elegance and force.
The happy Naiads raise the SMILING BOY,
Presage of BRITAIN'S patriot pride and joy,
When his bold waves shall join her subject Main,
O'er all the world her glory to sustain:
What taste, what judgment, in the work we tract !
What scientific truth, and simple grace !
The Swan exults amid the sportive Train,
Anxious to glide along the liquid plain ;
Appropriate symbols deck the wat'ry glade,
And Nature lends to Fiction all its aid.
'Twas the same Muse that touch'd with kindred firs
The Painter's pencil, and the Poet's lyre.
Ah ! Time ! of PAINTING the relentless foe,
Else, like his Strains, would CoswAT's canvass glow,
'Till thou shalt end, and THAMES no more shall flow.

THE THEATRE.

The Stranger, a play of a very affecting, but
of a very pernicious, tendency, inasmuch as it
softens the crime of adultery, and raises sym-
pathy for guilt, drew a numerous audience last
night to Covent Garden Theatre.--Mr.
YOUNG gave all due feeling and dignity
to the amiable, though misanthropic, - hero of
the piece, and received all due applause. Mrs.
BRUDENELL, the Lady who made a successful
appearance at the Haymarket Theatre this sea-
son in the character of Belvidera, was last night
the Mrs. Haller. It was evident through the
whole of her performance that she fully un-
derstood the character. The mournful sense
of her crime • was visible in her by play, as
well as in every allusion to it in the dialogue.
There was a domestic simplicity in the whole of
her acting which evidently resulted from genuine
feeling. Her deportment might have indicated
more of the elegance suited to the supposed for-
mer rank of the part, but the deep contrition by
which it is characterized might be conceived to
absorb all consideration of outward manners. She
was very well received. The part of Peter was per-
! formed by Mr. MaAnows, who lately-appeared
in that of Scrub. He is by no means destitute of
humour, but he does too much. His by play, by
exciting the laughter of the galleries, interrupts
the dialogue which passes between the other
characters at the time, and therefore tends to ob-
struct the progress of the fable; besides, that it is
an,injury to the other Performers, whose efforts
are 'obscured. Ile also was well received.—The
afterpiece was Blue Beard, but it did seem to
be brought forward with the splendour announc-
ed in the playbills, and the processions did
not pass with due regularity and effect. It was,
however, well supported by the Performers, par-
ticularly EGERTO'N, FAwcErr, BLANCHARD,
Miss LOVE, and bliss H4LTANnE. The- last
seems to be quite recovered in health, and she is
obviously very much improved in the ease and
spirit of her acting.

THE ARMY.

The Oxfordshire Regiment of Militia, upwards of 500 strong,
assembled on Wednesday last in Oxford, for 21 day? training
and exercise.—Capt. Peers's troop of. Oxford Yeomanry Cavalry
have also been on duty during the present week.
The 49th Regiment, at present doing duty at Waterford, are
under orders to embark at that port for Bristol, whence they are
to proceed to Chatham, there to remain till the commencement
of December, when they are to sail for the Cape.
The exemplary conduct of the 9th Lancers, and the East
Kent Yeomanry Cavalry, on the day of his Majesty's Progress
through Canterbury to embark for the Continent, has called
forth a tribute of -nrobation from the Corporation, which will
-be found- it -unanimous resolution of the Court of
Burghmotc.

In consequence of the very large price of oak

timber, and the decay to which it appears liable
from dry rot, the Government have determined
on making an experiment by building ships of
mahogany, for which purpose a contract has been
entered into for ten thousand load of that wood.
—( Kentish Gazette.)
Sim ociNa DEATll.—Yesterday morning a boy,
about fifteen years 'old, of the name of JOHN
PAUL, was found dead on a brick-kiln in a field

near Exmouth-street, Hampstead-road. It ap-
peared from the statement of a younger brother
of the deceased, that they lived by plunder ;
that on the preceding night they stole some po-
tatoes out of a field, and put them on a kiln to
roast, and after they had eaten them, they laid
down on the kiln and fell asleep ; he fell off and
scratched his face, and when he went to rail his
brother he found he was dead, being suffocated
by the effluvia. The deceased, though young,
was an old offender, and had been tried at the
Old Bailey for stealing pencils and French chalk
from a shop in Warren-street, Fitzroy-square.
He had also been in the Refuge for the Destitute
in Hackney-road.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stt—l have read with the utmost surprise in several news-
papers the reports of what passed on Friday last in the Consis--
torial Court, in the suit which' I preferred against Lady Er-
skine for adultery. Not having been myself present, I dOrtot
know.whether they, or any of them, arc correct or incorrect;
but I feel myself bound, in justice to my own character, to de-
clare through you to the public what the case actually was:
I had preferred (as I have just stated) a, suit against Lady
Erskine for adultery; but in the course of it circumstances
having come to my knowledge which fully convinced me of her
innocence, I directed Mr. Nicholl, my Proctor, to withdraw
the suit on my part, which was done accordingly, and after-
wards sent a written paper to him, and also to Dr. Swaby, my
Senior Counsel, and desired that this reason for withdraWing
the suit might be stated in open Court.
• We had also agreed 'on a deed of separation ; but because
would not execute it "until the suit had first been withdrawn on
her part also, lest my motive for withdrawing it might be mis-
interpreted, the suit was continued by.Lady:Eiskine's Proctors
against me, though mine had been withdrawn, which gave the
opportunity of reading the above-mentioned paper to the Court,
or of having the effect of it stated by my Counsel, as I had re-
quested ; but from the reports in several newspapers, I found,
to my great surprise, my Counsel,. -not only maint4ihing Lady
Erskine's guilt, though I had .intreated them to declare my
fullest conviction of her innocence as the cause of my with-
drawing the suit against her, but imputing to me the cohabit-
ing with her, believing her to be guilty, although there wai
then no atilegation of any such cohabitation befbre the Court.
Being ignorant Of what passed in Court; I impute neither
malice nor mistake to the several Reporters, or Any of them.;
but knowing that my Proctor and my Counsel must confirm
this statement, it is my intention to attend in Courton the sth
of June, being the next court day, to justify my conduct to
the world.

In the paper above-mentioned,' which I transmitted to my
Proctor, for whom I have a very great respect, *I stated, that
having now a moral conviction of Lady Erskine's innocence, I
should'think it wicked to submit the evidence I had:givento the
Court for its judgment, and to the, world,through, its publica-
tion, when in my conscience I now belieVed the charge of her
infidelity to' be unfounded.
•
• , I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Sunday, May 27, 1821. ERSIC,INE.
f.,* The Editor of this Paper was extremely siirprised at seer
ingthe Stat2nient of what passed in Court on the above veryde-
licate subject, as Lord Erskine had, a fortnight ago, told him
that he was nowmorally convinced of the innocence of Lady:-
ship ; and that he was therefore determined to withdraw the
suit. Yesterday both Lord and lAdy Erskine confirmed to him
this statement, and her Ladyship. added, that she also would
go into Court, and make a deposition to her innocence, and to
the honour and justice of Lord ErSidne in withdrawing the suit.

4th. Because, though I agree in the prevalent opinion that
our commercial code displays to much jealousy of foreign in-
dustry, and too great a desire to secure, by prohibitory duties,
to our own industry a monopoly of the home market ; yet I was
not aware that the policy of a contrary system, viz. that of se-
curing to foreign industry a monopoly of the home market, had
ever been maintained, even by the wildest theorist ; far less
could I have imagined that such a system would' ever have been
acted upon by the Legislature of any, country ; yet, by the un-
principled and extraordinary arrangements of this Bill, it is
impossible not to admit that a bounty is substantially given to
the Russian and Prussian manufacturers of deals, in no instance
less than 11. N. 7d. per load, a sum which must annihilate all
attempts on the part of the home manufacturer to competa ill
that article.

sth. Because, injurious to the country as it must be, to.force
into use, at an advanced price, timber of an inferior quality
subject to premature decay, it appears to me that this is far from
bciaz the most serious calamity with which the proposed- ar-
rangementthreatens this mercantile country.
Since the restoration of peace the tables of this anti the other
House of Parliament have been crowded with petitions from
our merchants and nianufacturers ; in which, convinced of the
great truth, that comniere is an exchange of equal value for
equal value, and that it is impossible for goods, to be imported
into this country, without an equal value of • our ,•goods
being exported, they have strenously enforced the necessity of
doing away that' restrictive, protective, and prohibitory system
which has disgraced our commercial arrangements ; anxiously
urging, that .by gradually adopting this line of conduct, w
should not only afFord relief to a suffering people, but secure to
theni important benefits, from the example this alteration of
system would hold out to Foreign nations.
To me, therefore, it appears the ,greatest of all calamities to
see this House adopt aßill which, in regulating that branch of
commerce that has first come under the consideration of Parlia-
ment, not only prejudices the interest of foreign nations with-
out any material benefit to our Colonies, by. forcing into use an
article of Colonial produce they could furnish cheaper and of a
superior quality ; but, by a pa: t.ial arrangement of regu-
lates the comparative degree of intercourse we shall eniny with
other countries ; thus, at once, unjustly sacrificing to the pro-
prietors of shipping, who can alone derive advantage from it,
the interest of the British consumers, and annihilating the rea-
sonable expectations of benefit which our merchants hoped to
derive from unrestrained commerce, -by setting the example of
illiberal preferences that will render it impossible. for us to lie-
Rpciatc with foreign countries, with any chance of :approximat-
ing to that freedom of intercourse which, if it could be esta-
blished, must redound equally to the advantage of all.

SPANISH' PAPERS.

MADRID, MAY 12.—1 t is confidently asserted this evening,
that Senor Don Pedro Sainz de Baranda has been nominated
Political Chief of Madrid; and the Marquess de Casa Thug° to
the post of Ambassador from Spain to the court of Paris.
Accounts from Vittoria of the Bth May say, that;the troops
of the local militia of that city continue: to scour the province
since the affair of Salvatierra, in pursuit of the rebels there dis-
persed, met with some of them near. Valpucsta, of whoin they
killed two and took seven,' whom they have brought here badly
wounded, especially; their Chief, the Clergyman of Pipaon.
They next went to disperse and clear the country of this rabble
who became robbers; the Catalonians, as well .as the Cavalry
del Infante, and the national militia, have taken the field again.
The preparatory steps to try the rebels of Salvatierra and others
before the military tribunal are proceeding with great activity,
• In the sitting of the Cortes on the 11th, the Secretary of the'
Home Department gave an account of the arrests, which at the
petition of various individuals bad been *made in several-great
cities, of persons considered as disaffected to-the new system:—
The Government, he said, was sensibly afflicted at the repeti-
tionof disorder, which injured the
_present system in the'esteem
of. Foreign nations,' and, tended to increase the internal. enemies
of the Constitution, and that it had taken all means to prevent
the:future violation of the law.
