Jaft heroical drama, the Stege of Naumburg 
by the Huffites, attraéts fuch crowds every 
week to the large new theatre at Berlin, 
that many hundreds are obliged to return 
without getting admiffion. It is founded 
en an interefting hiftorical faé& :—When 
in 1432, Naumburg was befieged by the 
Huffites, the young children of the citizens 
were fent into the enemy’s camp to im- 
plore their mercy ; and the deliverance of 
the town, in confequence, is commemo- 
vated there, and in the neighbourhood, by 
an annual cherry-feaft ; at the laft return 
of which, the inhabitants teftified their 
thanks tothe poet in a moft friendly and 
appropriate manner. There are a number 
ot moft affecting {cenes in this drama, 
which drew tears from every eye, in par- 
ticular, in the ftruggle between patriotifm 
and maternal affection, when the mothers 
are taking leave of their children; their
