New York, July 26. We hear that the managers of the Theatre
propose to entertain the town this week with Dr. Goldsmith's
new play, called, She stoops to conquer, or The Mistakes of
a Night: An excellent dramatick piece, lately brought on the
stage under the patronage of Dr. Samuel Johnson, author of
the Rambler, &c. This play is intended to recover the
expiring art of writing true English comedy; the author has
not been disappointed in his attempt, as appeared from the
uncommon and well deserved success it met with, and still
continues to meet with, from the judicious and crowded
audience that constantly attended the performance of it in
the Royal Theatre.
