This narrative commences at that 
important epoch, when the French, 
after enjoying a long feries of victories, 
began at length to experience defeats 
alfo in Italy. 
we here learn, that when Sinigaglia, 
one of the towns comprehended within 
the’ dine ef defence of Ancona, was 
taken by the Turco-Ruflian army, 
the unfortunate Jews were expofed to 
the molt barbarous and infulting treat- 
ment. The republicans appear to have 
avoided all intercourfe whatever with 
either the Turks or Ruffians, and to 
have capitulated to the Auftrians alone.

Citizen Catlhava, the author of this 
work, has fpent a confiderable portion 
of his life in ftudying the writings of 
Moliere, and already demonftrated his 
intimate acquaintance with dramatic 
affairs, by a publication, intitled ‘l’Arts 
de la Comedie” —the Arts of Comedy, 
to which the prifent may -be confidered 
as a fupplement.

*< L’Ecole des Maris"—The School for 
Hufbands, as a moft admirable compo-~ 
fition, and maintains it to bean imifa- 
tion of the Adelphi of Terence; but 
he, at the fame time, proves the moral 
to have been entirely forgotten by the 
Roman, while it has been carefully in- 
culcated by the French, poet. 
He gives a decided preference to the 
« Tartuffe,” which he admits to be 
one of the fineft theatrical pieces ever 
exhibited.
