its merits should be attributed. So great an
effect was produced on the first representa-

ing the vast numbers who focked from e
very quarter of the town to witness it; and
they who did gain admittance, by applying
every Incident of the piece to the unhappy
situation of their lawful king, at that time,
and unfortunately now wanderer, created
so alarming a ferment, that Bonaparte out
of his great love and Kindness towards his
good city of Paris, wisely ordered the play
to be Withdrawn, and Immediately sent the
author his gracious permission to travel.-
Shortly after, kotzebue obtained Duval's
leave TO render his manuscript into German;

present drama taken, and adapted to the
English theatre; it was then presented to,
and accepted by Mr.. Colman for the Hay.
