Theatre of SUAKSPEANE'S Tragedy of Julius Caesar.
Among all the Plays which are admitted to have bee"
written by our immortal Hard, there are but two
(Thus Andronicus, and Limon of Ahem), which
are duller in arrangements and more liat 'in matter,
than. Julius Cellar—for, notwithstanding the com.l
rnenclations which was bestowed by cotemporary au.
thots, upon SUAISPEARE, by L. DIGGIUI, and others,'
for having composed this Tragedy, we presume to
think, that, taking altogether, it is but a mediocre
effect, and utterly beneath the boundless genius of
SILIii4PEARE, which could, when unfettered by the
obligations of chronology and rule, sore beyond
the bourn of humanity, and imagine the tenantry ,
of a heaven and a hell, and all the pure and im-
pure •epirits, which may be floating in the inter•
mediatr spaces. of bliss and woe ! The con-
struction of this Play, is, in its Most important
points, as false in fact as it is feeble in its dia.
• logue : yet it must be understood,. that we are now
comparing Stteasectite with himself. Agreeably to
all classical authority, JULIUS CESAR was destroyed!

could be, under the privation of those energies
which are indispensable to the illustration of a pa-
pnlar harat.gue—but his gestures were fraught
with eloquence, though the points of his oratory
were not adequately impressed upon the general ear. ,
W.? have understood, that some species of w4l- 1
manned contention hath existed between Mr. YOtTkO I
Rad Mr. C. Kestaca, sato thstplieressitm of the Pali
of Murk .4niony, and that the character -ef Cassius
was allotted to Mr. Yovse, rather against his de.2_
sire, than otherwise; hut, if this was the case, It
will merely operate as an additional proof, to she* I
how very incapable we oilani are, of taking a due I
measurement of oar own ability, us we hate never
seen Mr. Youvo to greater advertinge then we did ,
on tied night, when he was, ptofeseionsilly, el..
bowed ill serious competition, by the only two
gentlemen, that we now have in this empire,
whom we can consent to call Tragedians, or his 11
compeers. Of all the actors that we have seen as-
sume the part of Cassius, we canuot recollect that
any of them stood so prominently forward as Mr.
Yoe so. his murderous overtures to the nobler
Brutus were well displayed, and he was equal to all
the insinuations of such a character, as Cassius is
noe, like lino, compelled to affect a variety cif pass
' sions to further one malignant result, and in that
species of scenic delineation, Mr. COOKE stands With-
out a rival. In delivering the following declaratory
incitement to Brutus, Mr. YOUNG was Peculiarly
animated :
" Why, man, he doth Is/stride the narrow world,
Likes C.dossus, and we, petty men,
Walk wider his huge legs, sad peep abont,
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.—
! you and t have heard our fathers say,
There was a Indus owe, that would have brook 'd
The eternal. Devil to keep his state la Raw,
As easily as a king."
Mr, C.. Mama was the Mark A. 'dour of the
occasion, but be was not so felicitous in this personi-
fication as we expected that be would be. The pieta

geaerens audience, are manifolds his constancy in his
friendship to Cesar, which eetlives the benefits, and
radiance of power, mast ever bd endearing to ho-
nest and ditty constitutechninde : as the tear of gra-
titude which bedews .the Moab of a benefactor, is
more dear to virtue than alt the eulogies which ex-
