ations of flattery which the recklessness of youth can offer, or which the soft and honeyed treachery of the seducer can whisper. She has the misfortune to be married to a man infinitely beyond her in years, the heyday of whose blood is over, and who is long past that prime when he might fashion his language to that sweet phraseology on which every beautiful woman feeds and lives. Yet the structure of his mind is composed of every noble and exalted principle, and so works on her sensible mind (for a beautiful woman, in contradiction to the universally believed principle of fashion, can be sensible,) the full conviction of his worth. Still Hortense, under the conviction of her firmness, thinks it a matter of indifference to her husband, and of grate ful feeling to herself, to gratify her vanity, provided it may be done without her own debasement. Such is the inconsistency of conduct induced by an imperfect education; and what her education must have been, the character of the mother will best shew. Madame Sinclair is of the worst description of characters. In her is painted an old age, without one redeeming virtue. Life has passed with her as a dream, in which her senses have been intoxicated with pleasure; and she has not, from example or experience, learned one lesson or principle of wisdom or good conduct. She presents us with one of the most loathsome and detestable characters which this chequered world contains. ITALIAN OPERA.
