London, May 4. . . The comedy of the Chances, according to
Mr. Garrick's alteration from the Duke of Buckingham, was
performed on Wednesday night at Drury Lane theatre before
their Majesties. It is said this comedy was played at the
request of her Majesty. Mr. Garrick exerted himself much;
but in nothing did he please the audience than in a very
just compliment he paid to her Majesty, Frederick having
rallied his friend John (Mr. Garrick) on attaching himself
to a woman of loose character, and who was not likely to
amend, the latter replied; "But example may do much;
especially when the greatest in the best woman in the
nation!"
