( April 16 d , 1 ; From the Critical Review, for Nov. 1794- Tk: FALL of ROBESPIERRE. An Ffijlorit Drama —by S. T. C kritige, of 'Jefui College, Cambridge, Bt's. THE fall of Robespierre was an event of th? greatest importance to the affairs of France, and is a -very proper fubjeil for the tragic muse. It rfiay, however, be thought by some to be too recent an event to admit of that contrivance which is essentially neceflary in unravelling the plot of the drama; Indeed, we have been informed, that the work before us was the production of a few hour, execeil'e, and mult, therefore, not be fuf*.e<sted to frnell very ftrongty of the lamp., Several j patts too being neceflarrly made up of such reports of the Frehth Convention, as have 1 already been colleiiled through the medi um of Newlpapers, may be expelled to have little of the charms of novelty. By thele free remaiks, we pean not to under-rate Mr, Coleridge's historic drama. It affords ample tefiiiruny, the writer is a genuine votary of the Mule, and (?- I veral parts of it will afford much pleasure to thole who can relilh the beauties of po etry. Indeed a writer who could produce so much beauty, in so little time, must poflei's powers that are capable of railing him to a difttnguiihed piace the Englilh poets. In the firll ai£l, the scene lies in the I huilienes. Barrere is tirll introduced thu» Ipea'iing of Robespierre : " Tue iempeJJgathers —be it mine tofeek Afriendly jbelter, ere it burfls upo% him. But zobere? and how? I fear the tyrant's foul— • SnJden in aSion, fertile in resource, Add rtfirig a-.vful 'mid Lnpetiding ruins ; In fplenior gloomy as the midnight meteor, That fearlejs lb-warts the elemental war. II hen la/i in jtcret conferences ewe met, He fcoul'd upon me with fujpieious rage, Making hts eye the inmate of my bofont. I know he Jcorns me—and I fee/, I hate him— 1 Yet there is in him that which makes me , tremble!" j The following speech of Legendre has , much beauty in it. He is speaking of Barrere. 1 " Perfidious traitor—flill afraid to bask In the fun blaze of power, ttie ritflling fer-' pent ' Lurks in the thicket of the Tyrant's great- ' aefs, t Ever prepar'd tofling <wbo fheltcrs him. t Each thought, each aSiou in Ijimfilf cat -.ergesj , And hr.'e utidfriendjhip on bis coward heart ( Shine like the powerlrjs fun on pslar ice : To all attach'd, by turns deferung all, Cunning t\nd dark—-a necrfjary villain I" I The following speech of Robespierre is ' in the true style of this ipecies of compo- ' fition : " t 11 What I did La Fayette fall before my * po<w'r ? And did I conquer Roland's spotless virtues? ' Tlx fervent eloquence of Vergniaud's 1 tougue ? And Brffot's thoughtful foul unbrib'd and bold? " Did zealot armies hajle i-i vain to Cave C ihem ? 3 What! did tb a Jjuffin s dagger aim its * point v Vain, as a dream of mur3er, at my bo- t fom ? And shall I dread the foft luxurious Tal lien ?

The third aft closes beautifully : " The Ictfl ttvoffi traitor triumph'd tri umph'<i lorjz, Secureday uiutcblefs villainy.

I profefs myfelK ] the friend of man, and therefore the} 1 friend'of religion, which, is the fame t<] the foul, that health and food are to 1 the body. ; I have been much entertained with Tie Hijlory of the French Revolution. I The nameless author, though not a re- < publican in the high sense in which some < interpret the word, is, rcverihelefs, »n i enemy both to despotism and infidelity, ; and a friend both to rel gfort and liber- j ty. The fcrious ;:nd candid reader I will be plea fed with the following' ex- I tract : 5 " There is fomeihing in tine religion i which foftens the ferocious paflions of i men: it can arrest the hand of the as- I faflin ; it can whisper to the per i turbed spirit ; it rcjefls the attainment I of its end by unlawful ir.ia::s, and sol- ; lo.vsratbfr titsdiet-les >'fcp..fcts.;-*ti-id ■ immediate duty, ihun Uie ir.i>a IpkiahVi | vi(ion which the imagination may so m , of distant perfection. This only ia'e ■ guard of moral principle, the republican philosophers of France uniformly rtrant • edj they were eyen bigots in infidelity ; the throne and the altar were equally obnoxious to them ; and many of the excesses into which they plunged may be more properly attri!>iited to then irreligious prejudices, than to any other cause. There is nothing but religion 1 that can impart an uniformity to the moral chara&er. Where expediency is the only rule of condudl, the human mind will naturally indulge in too great j a latitude on some occalions, especially i where the paflions aie ilrongly intereii- j ' cd. This perhaps, iildeed, is the dif- I timfiiifhinjr circumstance which msrks O O f the two revolution# of America and of France. The Americans were pos sessed of a strong sense of religion, inde pendent of the neceflity of defending themselves; they could not forget that j their religion taught them tp love '.heir I enemies. But the majority of the j Fiench nation were uninltru&ed in this j religion, or had rejected its falutaiy re- Itraints. After all," adds the writer, in a note, "if we would trace calamity in France to its source, we mtiit be forced to confefs, that the flimfy writ ings of that wietched caviller Voltaire, have undone that country. ' We eai neftly hope the example will operate as a caution to all other governments, and tc'ach them to beware of permitting, with impunity, licentious publications. I Ttiey^HlayTely^iipon it, there are ti» li bels so dangerous to a Jlate, as those agaittfl God. We venetate, and ever (hall ve neiate, the cause of religious toleration. Every feci which ailnoivledges a future slate of rewards and purjfhments, is in noxious, if not refpeftable. But ifthis great foundation of molality is removed there can be no dependence on tiie principle or integrity of a people. Let the horfleys and the Prieftleys freely in dulge themselves in verbal contefti tells concerning the disputed points of theology ; but let every impious fcofler who presumes to aim his deltrmfti'e (hafts at any of the great dochinesofl religion, be severely punished, and his j writings ftriftly prohibited. Until this I is the cafe, no government can be fafe, nor will it be poflible to maintain order, or even common honelly among men." From the (Baltimore) Intclligencer of May 13.

WHATEVER may have heen the ter mination of the efforts of La Vendee, they have been i'uth as to immortalize the narr'e of the Difiriet, antk of the heroes who have there distinguished thefmcives. If is proper that The Siik fllould record t»! .m. When the Confiitnent affirnhly par. pi led out the Provinces of France, the names of the new divisions were (ought hi the Geography of the countries that were divided. It was then that the little river 4 of Vendee, muddy, marshy aud hit! c r'.o unheard of, obtained a place in the Na i onal Records, and gave its name to the ditiriit which it watered. This divifron, lit'lated on the soUth of the river Loire, and in the province heretofore ca'Jed Poi tou, is a rugged and difficult country^"co vered with thick woods, interspersed with deep morafles. Such is the famous La Vendee; impregnable even to C.iebr, fr4m the nature of its foil and the iAfiinate valor of its peopbi and still equally avcr.e to tyranis, though fighting in the n me of the Republic. The loyalty of the inhabitants has no* its name to immortality, H' rendering; it-proverbial, ftnceevtjy (iaring union of invincible heroes, faitlru! toll.err God and their king, and ten ible to their enemies, will henceforth be cai.eu a n w La Vendee.
