thtiltiv .1.1112 T1111AT1M..4.41 night St/ Mt 11-
griglll9B bilkorical play of Mary she Bril• was re-
vived at this Theatre, in which Mr. R. Pausal
performed, for the firtt time, the part of Fdie—
The play-bell having modeßly amitanscal the under-
taking but as an weave, the altor was encouraged
onlis awed by a triple peal of applaufe ; and at is
but jußice to add, that his delineation of the cha-
rlotte: was fuch as to merit the frequent repetition
of it, which occurred in the conrfe of the evening.
—The 3401-'8 conception of the buiinefs of the
teen is nearly that of the late admired Hamm-
son, and his execution much after the manner of
his deceafed brother.—ln a word, his performance
throughout will bear comparifon with that of any
FalMattrefast known to the town ; of thofe that
have gone by, we mutt not ex pte Peon “ to look
upon the like again."—Mr. KE MIL ell Mathew is
a molt brilliant effort of the biarionic art, and
Cfro MILE S is very tolerable in the Prixoe.—We could
with, in future, that Mars. WIEWIT Z zit and Dow-
you would be lets coarfe in the two Carrierx—The
Theatre was, lait night, completely filled, and the
audience was very elegant.
The play was announced for a fecond reprefen.
tation with univerfal applaufe.

Covitiv.Gaanzu.—Laft night the Revery was
again performed to a very full houfe. We con.
gratulate the public on the viable improvement
made by Mr. Coou sin his exhibition of the artful
and infidious, though highly fpirited Zarga. He I
has more of the emphatical pack, which, judici-
oully employed, never fails to double the etre& of I
a pafrage, than we obferve in his Richard or /ago.
To this paufe Mr. KassaLa is eminently indebted
for his celebrity, but this paufe Mr. Kaust.E frt.'
quently ufes with too ma:x(4 an artifice. In hat
night's reprefentation we taw it adopted with a
power and a judgment which increatN"lonr idea of
Mr. Coos a's merit. In foam of his tones he is Rill
too harfh : and, once or twice in his concluding
fcene, he drew forth laughter from the Galleries,
when he evidently intended to excite fomething
more analogous to horror. But this is not the Ern
time that a limilar millake has happened in fimilar
fituations. The applaufe was not loud, but it was
frequent, from the beft critical judgment of the
houfe.

Mr. Simms will rife very high In the public
ellimation, if he models his ftyle of aging more
after the old fchool • we mean that of Gsaatcs
and HENDELSO24. He has the voice, but let him
not fervilely copy the manner of KIMBLe.

The rca of the play was very refpatably filled.
Mrs. Li rc 'ls co's voice and adlion feldurn fail. to
pleafe.

A noife which we with we could call tenufssai,
from the upper part of the audience, diaurbed the
ferious hearer. We are far from withing to adopt
the plan of defpotic monarchical France, or of
Rill more defpotic Confular France, in introduce-
ing foldiers in every part of the houfe, during the
whole play ; but we with fame Conllitutionar me-
thod could be deviled of quieting that fpirit of
dilturbance, which is now almoft confined to the
Play-houfe,

TWICKINHAM THEATILICAL3o.—Saturday even-I
ing left the reprefentations at York Houfe,'Twick-
enham, before a fele& party of vifitors, went oil
to the high& fatisfaCtion cleft prefent. Thofe
who expreffed fuck pleafure at this entertainment,
which was the latt for the feafon, will doubtlefs
halt its recommencement at fome future period.
The Pieces feleited for this night were three% two
Comedies and a Farce. The fief, called Carotnw,
in one aft, made its appearance in Paris about fix
weeks ago, and (gems evidently intended as a hit
at thole 'karts who have acquired immenfe for-
tunes during the Revolution, without polfefling an
isle of real tale in the ufe of them. The pciTor-
mance of /MA Fanny Starhemberg was extremely '
engaging and unaffected; the was ably fupported
by the Count himfdf as her admirer ; and Count
Walditein in the Yaks and Skoog Coßsailesr, afford,
ed a humorous fpecimen of what foie of judges
take upon theinfelyes frequently to buy pidures at
auktions upon their own conceit ; this part kept
the company in continual rifibility.
To this little Comedy fucceeded another in three
Afts, called is La Secoade Surtrifi do l'itaoscr,"
which certainly acquired ftrength of effedt in this
repetition I each charafter kept up the ball with
fpuit. and his Excellency and the Counters of
Starhemberg, by their manner of rivetting the at-
tention of their auditors, gave 4 fair fpecimen of
what refined gratification may arife from private
plays when they are fupported by real talent. Ba-
ron Raiad sfeld in the pedant yrasehattely charac-
teristie. CoRnt Waldftein was diverting in the'
crying, laughing, fickle weathercock of a Irak.
It Ibotild be remarked, too, that the playing of
Ernellina Starhemberg in the waiting-maid
was pin and appropriate, and decrees conrecn-
dation. Moxisatts farce of Ls Makin maitre
hi?' doled the .treat of the evening, This piece,
in its effeft, ilirrefillibly comic. h was found ne-
cetfary, however, to prune fome of the luxuriancy
of its growth in its original form, fo as to fit it for
thofe who have chafe cars. The part of the Norfi

who died of the yellow fever, which rages in the
Well India lilands ; and my fde inducement for
writing yon this-is, as far as poilible, to do all the
hale good I can to my brave fellow foldiers in the-
Upper World.—l was told a fcw days fince by a re-
lation, who retired here l.ttely fi om London, that
Peace was made, and the armyabout to be reduced.
The veterans, from 4o to go years of age, were, it
was reported by the Newfpapers, to be difcharged:
at this I was much furprized for I expeded thefe
veteranswould have been feleded into one company
of each regiment, and officered troth it, for the fer-
vice of the-Weft Indies, becaufe hot climates agree
better with old than young men, nor are they
fo fubjed to fevers. As a proof of the truth of
this, I find by our regifler very few old foldiers
have died of fevers within the tropics, nor do the
proportions to thole of young men bear a compa-
rifon. Warm weather invigorates old age ; but
the blood of youth is eafily inflamed by great ex-
ercife or intemperance, and both produce thofe fe-
vers which are fo quickly fatal. Alcompany of
each regiment of theft veterans being fent to the
Weft Indies would be a formidable force, and
might be eafily recruited by the oldeft foldiers
each regiment, at little or no ezpence. to Govern.
ment ; and a (mall additional pay might be al-
lowed thefe veteran companies, and which formerly
was furnifhed by the Wands. But lhould complete
regiments of young men be now fent to the Weft
Indies, the recruiting fervice will go on finely at
home, and very little advantage be derived from
it, though attended with great expence. The
young foldiercremaining at home will form a re-
petable force of aftive men for the defence and
population of the kingdom. I am, with great
regard, dear Friend, affedionately your's,

order, and his cannon iikewife were for fome time
in the power of the King's patty. But multi-
tudes of frefh forces coming in at laft turned the
fcale ou Caomwstt.'s fide. The battle continued
for three or four hours, with great tiercenefs, and
various fuccela, till the Scots, being overpowered
by CaomarEtt's fuperior force, were totally rout-
ed. CROI4WILL, with fome regiments, then ras

bet. of 1 soo men !"
CROMWELL, in his difpatch to the Parliament,
Bates, that " this battle was fought, with various
fucccfs, for Come hours," and fays, that " it was
'indeed a (tiff bufinefs."—Among many other
canting phrafes, which Al j Alex having uft mentioned
his butchery cf the Scotch garrison of Worcefters
it would be a fpecies of blarphemy to repeat, he
ufes the following remarkable words : " The di-
menGons of this osvrq are above my thoughts ! It

Mr. ECH•RD gravely aftures us that Dimas,

The fame Author (at p. 242) after obferving
that " enough has been faid of 'Duvet's felling
his foul to the Devil for the battle of Worcefter,"
adds, that " ECHARD owns Caostweces army
is was three times as numerous as King CHARLES

bargain, therefore, to damn himfelf fora viftory,

Upon the whole, fags our Correfpondent, it ap-
pears*. that at Worceller, the Scots, though unfuc-
cefsful, fully atoned for the mifcarriage m which
they fuffered their fanatical preachers to involve
them at Dunbar, where, however, according to
Its PM, their cavalry behaved very well, and twq
