mi
Mr. Fesno,
A Philadelphia paper some time ago, in
formed the public that a new drama, found
ed on the failure of the negociation at Paris,
was in preparation, and would, it was ex
pefted, be brought on the stage, in the
course of the ensuing feafpn—l have had the
pleasure of peruling tne piece alluded to, and
although I cannot give to it the praise of
true dramatic excellence, yet I think, con
sidering the Subjeft, it merit iuffi
cient to recommend it to an audience.
Claiming neither the charafter of sparkling
wit nor profound Sublimity, it consists of
but a few Scenes, wj-itten in a chaste and im
prelfive style, the denouement of which is
calculated to exhibit in true colours the vil
lainous policy which diftated the conduft of
the ate/j bifliop.
As the Theatrical season it to commence
the beginning of next month, it is hoped
the enemies to that nefarious tranfaftion will
give Support to a performance which under
takes to heighten its oclium—At all times the
drama might be made the School of political
and moral virtue, but on the present oc
casion, nothing is more calculated to ex
pand and invigorate the energies of patriot
ism, than puhlic national- Speftacles—and
the managers, if their patriotism is not tain
ted with French influence, will surely give
it ample encouragement.
Yours,
PHILO-THESPIS.
