I Amongst the many improvements which have been
made in society (particularly in regard to public
amoserneots) it is rather singular that eanoprsational
parties should not be considered as essenfill to the
improvement at well as the relaxation of the mind.

.having been' commissioned to
examine the documental papers and ether sources
from which. Mr. Ackermarm's Norretive of the oppd
remarkable Events in and near Leipag, ac. is coma
piled, as some insinuations have been thrown out,,
that much of what is therein related is rather exag.
gerated, and Mr. Ackermann having furnished them
with the said papers, they were found to consist of---
1. A. pamphlet., . printed at Leipzig, entitled,
Leipzig, wahrend.der Schre.ckenstage der &Mach.

Chronik dieser secede.—(Leipzig, during the terrible
Days of the Battles in the month of October, 1813,
being a Supplement to the History of this City.)
2. A printed advertisement of a large work, to be
accompanied with nine plates ; the advertisement it-
self giving a brief bat comprehensive account of the
battle of Leipzig.'
3. A second advertisement, giving a similar de-
scription of these 1),4t, ;09, in German and French.
4. A letter from Count Schouleld to Mr. Acker.
mann, describi ne the dreadful condition of the villages
in the neighbourhood of Leipzig, especially of those
over which the storm of the battle passed.
5. An official paper, signed by some of the prin.
cipal bankers and merchants at Leipzig, containing
an appeal to the benevolence of this Shish public, in
behalf of the sufferers.
6. An official attestation of the tenth of the state-
ment made in the said appeal, signed by the acting
Burgomaster of Leipzig, with the city seal affixed.

into the detail.
litre :4ub.Committee, having read and considered,
the chief parts of these several sources of informs.
liont were unanimous in their opinion, that far from
any exaggeration of facts having been resorted to,
in presenting the Narrative to the British public,
facts have been suppressed, under an idea that they
might shock the feelings of Englishmen, who, in
general, by Goo's mercy, have so imperfect an idea
of the horrors of a campaign, and the unsireakable
sufferings occasioned by the presence of contending
armies ; that, to hear more of the detail contained
in the said papers, might destroy the effect of era
citing compassion by creating disgust, and doubts of
the possibility of the existence of such enormities.
'The Sub-Committee were likewise fully per.
soaded that the accounts centralised in thew official
and printed papers could• not-have been published
at Leipzig itself, without being .acknowledged by
all as authentic, as they would otherwise have been
liable to the censure of every Reader and Reviewer;
and, therefore, compiating then also with various
similar accounts, received from other. places, they
feel no hesitation in' expressing their _opinion, that
the Narrative published by Mr. Ackermann is a-true
and faithful representation of such facts as came
Within the reporter's own observation.. rt

• The natural and easy apanser is which Mr. Kzaw delivered
his first soliloquy was in itself enough to coolie the greatness of
his capacity; his entrance bespoke a superior intellect, and the
whale of his adieu, in the last scene of the first act. may be
ranked among the sublinstaispecimens of histrionic talent.
'Phis alludes to the scene with Lady Anne, during the pause
of the procession of the corpse.
The original and prepossessing beauties of this scene will
lung be remembered by every one who has any taste for theatri-
cal exhibition. In alluding to the two spiders, the acting of Mr.
Kisaw was inimitable.
