One evening I went to the larger theatre, with Mr. S⸺, for the
express purpose of hearing the celebrated Mademoiselle Mars, in
the character of the Femme Colère in the play of that name. I
thought the piece very inferior, and to comprise common place
incidents, and trifling dialogues. The plot is founded upon the
stratagem of a peaceable kind of husband, to quell the turbulent
temper of his wife, and who succeeds in convincing her of her folly,
by shewing the impropriety of such conduct in himself; for this
purpose, on one occasion, when she has been enraged at her
waiting-maid, he throws himself into a still greater passion; upsets
the tables, chairs, and every thing that comes in his way; she hears,
sees, and is astonished at his violence, becoming proportionately
tame, as his rage increases, and at length convinced of her error,
determines to reform.
This city derives no little of its celebrity from having been the birth-
place of Charles the Fifth, as well as our John of Gaunt, duke of
Lancaster, and son of Edward the Third.
We were now in what was formerly called Flanders, the Austrians
possessing the larger part with this city for their capital; the French,
the south-west, comprising Lisle and Dunkirk; and the Dutch, the
north-east, with the strong fortress of Sluys.
Our barge from Bruges, as well as our party, was much smaller
than the one we had travelled with from Ghent; soon after seven
o’clock we arrived at Sas van Ghent, a small village, about a mile
from Ostend, where we rested a few minutes, after which we
proceeded into the town, when about eight o’clock I reached the
Wellington hotel, an inn conveniently situated for the custom-house,
and the packets sailing to and from England, and which has been
established by an Englishman, lately the head waiter from
Nicholson’s hotel.
On our arrival at Ostend we found two packets intending to sail for
England, a private one for Margate and London, on the following
day, and a government one for Dover on the succeeding day to that;
those to whom time is of importance, however, unless a vessel is on
the point of sailing from hence, and the wind favourable, will do well
to take the barge to Dunkirk, and travel from that place to Calais by
the diligence.
