but Mrs. Jordan gave great effect to the Epilogue, which was written quite à la militaire.

The play itself was received with unanimous approbation, and given out for a fecond reprefentation without one diffentient voice.

Covent Garden, Feb. 20.---Congreve's Tragedy of the Mourning Bride was played at this theatre for the first time during the prefent feafon, We do not conceive that this play, though certainly poffeffing a great fhare of poetical merit, is at all calculated to please an audience of the beginning of the nineteenth century, who display a much greater predilection for unmeaning verbosity and unnatural intricacies, than for the folid fenfe, profound delineation of character, and attic

elegance, which characterize the productions of our legitimate dramatifts. It does however credit to the difcernment of the managers of this theatre to attempt fuch revivals, and endeavour to bring back the public taste to its just standard.

Mrs. Siddons, in the character of Zara, difplayed all her ufual energy and inimitable excellence in her juft conception of the poet's meaning; and the found an able coadjutor in her brother, whom we feldom remember to have feen to greater advantage. The reprefentation of the other characters does not require particular obfervation.

We hall give an account in our next Number of the luft new Comedy at Covent Garden Theatre, called "Love Sounds the Alarm," by Mr. Holman.
