| r <> right line of th» Dukes of Cleves, opened to 'the electors of Btandcn'.mrg the succession to the Duchy of Cleves, as well as to the coun- ties of, Mark and Raverisberg. All these advantages seamed to be thrown away upon the elector, George William.— This weak prince .reigned during- the thirty years war His policy and his religion attach - ed-him to the protectant cause ; but his mi- nister, .Schivarzeriberg, is said to have sold him to Austria.' Gustavus Adolphus, with 1000 men, appeared before the gates of Ber- lin : His demands were complied with. When fortune smiled on the arms of Austria, Sweden was betrayed by this pusillanimous elector. The natural consequence of such instaollity ¦was, that the armies of Sweden and of Aus- tria, alternatly carried fire and sword into the territories of Bradenburg. In 1640, .Frederick W.illiam, surnam Ihc Great Elector, ascended a throne sur- roiuwk-d with ruins. His provinces had been laid waste or conquered; the army reduced to 6000 man. His activity restored prosperi- ty to his states ; increased the army to thirty thousand ; no incousideraule force lor the pe. nod in which he lived. True to the Swedish cause, he obtained, by the peace of West- phalia, the bishoprics of Mindea, Halbers- tadt, and Jamin ; the reversion of the Arch- bishopric of Magdeburg, and the possession of Further, or Eastern Pomerania, which had devolved on his predecessor in frj37. But Sweden retained Hither Pomerania; with the fortress of Stettin, which commands the Oder, and opens a way t» Berlin. ¦ Frederick William considered the Swedes rather as odious masters, than generous bene- factors ; and developing that interested and cramped policy which h:is since distinguished the court of Berlin (and which Frederick II. so faithfulh imitated) he acted 'towards Po- land and Sweden the part of an ally ; e\;er making new demands, and always proving faithless. His duplicity was crowned fas the intrigues of courts not unfre/juent ly art J with unmerited success. The treaty of. 'Jli-.ia de fiiutively secured to hin (I6G(J) Llic Boverisnty of Prussia. Fifteen years of peace favored the establish- ment of manufactures, the creation of mari- time commerce, and the formation of an ad- mirable system of finance. The wars of Louis XIV. of France, involv.nl Frederick William, and afforded him an op. portunity of proving himself a great general The surprize of tba Swedes near Ratlienou, the victory of F.-hrbellin, and his march across the Frozen G.tilph, (Frische Haffe,) were the first of those great acts which procured for the arms of .'Irandenburg such reputation in Eu- rope. Fi edcrick I. crowned himself king of Prussia on the T8ili of January, 1701 ; Jrkicti dignity wiu successively acknowledged by all the powers of Europe, except the court of Koine. During his feigfl the monarchy gained an ac- quisition of the counties of Tcelenburg and Hohenstein, and the principality of Neufc'.iatel. Frederick William I. increased his army to 60,000 men. At the peace of 1720, he pur- chased, for 2,0GO,0jO crowns, Hither Pome- rania, as far as the banks of the Peene, with Stettin and the islands of Uradomand Wolllu. These imp -riant acquisitions rendered Prus- sia mistress of one of the mouths of the Oder, and opened the Haiti-: to her growing com- merce. Frederick: William left to his suc- cessor near 3,000,000 subjects, a revenue of 1,^50,0001. sterling, Sc an army of 76,000 men. Frederick II. convinced the bouse of Aus- tria that it had a rival in th : empire of Genoa- ny. The two wars of Silesia put him in pos- •>"ssion of th.it rich province, which contained more than 1,000,000inhabitants; in 1805, there -were 2,048,000' souls in Silesia. I» 1772, (.when the imperial and royal robbers parti tinned Poland,) lie- seized West Prussia and the district of Netze, which completed the connexion of Ancient Prussia, Pomerania and thestates of BramJemnrrg. Anions: the great military works of Frederick, the famous for- tress of Graudeirtz v/ill rank conspicuous : this fortress is situated o,-» the left bank of the Vistula ; the completion of the works took tip ten years, and cost near thirteen million* of dot- (an- It stands in an extensive (slain not tar from the Vistula, and its environs canhe laid under water. This it the strong hold which the French were preparing to besiege at the date of the last bulletins .- we will soon know whether all of Frederick's works shall be de- molished, and all the. descendants of Frede- rick's troops pass undey the heavy yoke of France. Frederick d'ed possessed of a country of 10,000 square leagues, $,800,000 subjects, a revenue pf 5,000,000 sterling, and an army of 216,000 me'n. The second and third partitions of Poland added to Prussia the province* called South Prussia and New AVest Prussia, containing to- gether more than 2,ooo,ooo inhabitants. In vain was Frederick told that the destruction of Poland, byremoving all barriers against the Russians, would give to the court of St. Pe- tersburg great sway over the politics of Prus- sia. This consideration was foolishly disre- garded, that two desolated provinces might he added to his possessions, whose inhabitants must have anxiously looked for the opportunity of retaliation. Unaej Frederick William III. Prussia, while on good terms with France, obtained consider- able acquisitions. She lost part of the duchy of Cleves, with its dependencies ; and receiv- ed in exchange the bishopricks of Paderborn, Hildesheim, and Munsier, part of the terri- tories of Erfurth, six abbeys, &c.; in all, 6oo square leagues, imd 513,000 inhabitants. She thus received a quadruple indemnity, in op- position to the remonstrances of Austria and of nil the members of the Germanic body. The statistical itcccount of M. Krug, (in "18o5,) extracted from the archives of govern- ment, and adopteil ip tlie Prussian schools, fixes the extent of the Prussian dominions .at 5586 square miles, (German,) or 15,516 square leagues, St the population at 9,64o,ooo. • Thus stood Prussia only two years ago— Since- which she has no little aggrandized her- .self in trafficking with France. She\ceded Neufchatel, Anspach, Clevus, &c. with about half a million of subjects; and in return re- ceived Hanover and Osnaburg (or Osnabiuck) "with twice the number of inhabitants: '11.is nefarious bargaining was hardly adjusted, which was to render compact add united the extensive dominions of Prussia, when a plan was matured at Paris for dismembering this monarchy ; which has, with.no common stride, marched on, thro'blood and wrongs, to high pre eminence. Americans, who are not unacquainted with the perfidious dismemberment of Poland, can- not regret the humiliation of Prussia, for Prus- sia's sake. But every citizen of this iighly favored land, should pray ibr a check to the dangerous and increasing, power of France. .One, short campaign may shew to us, whether ,other worlds niysl yet be saciifieed.

Scene first represents a view of the city of Orleans, and the outside of a convent (the, inside illumi'jated, -which is reflected thro' the windows) where the piece opens with a GRAND CHORUS AND PROCESSION Of Friars and Nuns, in celebration of the annual custom of a requiem, to the mernorv o: the king's sister (llieenipress Be'aisante,) supposed dead.

In this scene a complaint is pre- sented again t the W;M Man of the Woods, and a Regard offered to the several Knights to talcenim dead «r alive ; they all refuse ex- cept Valentine, who, after making a vow to rescue the country from the Monster*, or lose his own life in tlie attempt, takes a resoectful leave of the King and Princess Eglantine, with whom he falls violently in leve. Scene 5th. The Forest of Orleans.

Encounter between the Wild Man and Hugo (Valentine's attendant),which ends in the escape of die latter from the former. Valentine meets Orson, and is obliged at first to save himself from his ferocious enemy by climbing the trees of the forest, and making his escape, from close pursuit, from branch to branch, they at last descend, and a furious bat- tle ensues—Valentine nearly exhausted, op- poses a polished shield to Orson, in which he sees his own figure, and in consequence re. mains for some time inactive, surprised and astonished at the effect produced—at last lie pulls up a tree by the roots, with which he re- news the attack, during which, Valentine es. capes many dreadful blows, and when oh the point of being vanquished the Bear enters— Valentine steps Ibrward to plunge his sword into her bod}-, which totally disarms Orson, who throws from him the Weapons of Death, and supplicates for the preservation of her he supposes his parent. After a variety of strug- gles on both kides, the Bear dies from old age, which determines Orson to attend Valentine to the presence of the King and Court. Act 2d commences with the outside of the Palace and Gates of Orleans. A REGAL BANQUET. Orson introduced—he is astonished at every thing he sees ; after a variety of tricks, and no small degree of terror to the king's nephew, he is left to regale at pleasure, but on missing Vateniine he rushes out in pursuit of him ; Va- lentine (on his way to the paviilion of Agra, monte) is attacked and nearly assassinated by Henry and Hawfrey, who are jealous of the princess Eglantine's attachment for him. The distress of Orson on this occasion is very great, as he feelstiie most lively interest for Valen- tine through all his pursuits. The Encampment and Pavilion of the GREEN KNIGHT. On one qjde a tree, on which several knights in armor are seen hanging; a shield marked with magical characters is suspended, & guard- ed by a Saracen priest. The Green Knight enters, preceded by Saracen warriors ; he of- fers lady Florimonda his hand, which she re- jects, and shews him these, words on a scarf, " Florimonda will wed the Knight Ihut frees her from Agramont." Eglantine enters disguised bi Valentine's,armor, and offers to light the Green Knight, after which a battle ensiles with swords : she is overcome, and he is about ptittirtff her to death; when Valentine arrives : a n,nous combat with broad swords takes place, and a second with battle-axes & shields. Wp the com miner meat of the third, Orson en- ters, pulls down th-v m.l.'ric shield, which has hitherto resisted human power j opposes it to the Green Knight; every weapon he mates uss of against it, breaks and drops ir-jm his hands ! Ho is then overcome ; becomes tiie prisoner of his conqueror, and is led off' In tri - umph. Th- Castle of the Giant VERRAGVS. Valentin* and OrSon enter.

" No particular class or age of readers has been in my view in this performance.
