Charlestown, February 2. On Wednesday last The Tempest was
performed at the theatre in this town, to a crowded and
brilliant audience, who expressed their highest satisfaction
at their entertainment. The characters were, in general,
well supported; but the deceptions, machinery, and
decorations, surpassed every body's expectation, and the
publick appears impatient for a second representation of
that excellent comedy. We hear that The Rival Queens, or
Alexander the Great, will shortly be presented, and that the
play will be entirely new dressed; a set of most superb
habits having been just imported from London for that piece,
at an immense expense.
