COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Modern warfare has been peculiarly distleguish. cd by novelty of tactics—and in the portion of the Theatrical Cempiign.tbnt bias already elapsed, thb Martha: and .ojieers .• Of Covent Garden Theatre hare varied .their ladies sod manzeuvres as often as any army in Europe. To quell the Opposition, every trick has been resorted to which the ingenious imagination of Professor Brandon and his worthy coadjutors and associates sou' !suggest. But the system of coerciou having com pletely failed, the grand Council of the Theatre have been compelled to play off another " ruse vie guerre." The decision .of the Grand Jury of -Wistreiester, Fctected entirely from the neigh bourhood of Covent-garden, has afforded to the public a complete triumph.— A gaits st Ihosepersotn who were committed, or held to bail, for using rattles, horns, whistles, and other instruments, for the purpose of expressing disapprobation, true it is, that bills of indictment were presented; but it is equally so, that they were all-thrown out, from which the necessary inference is, that the Grand Jury of Westminster deem the use of horny, rattles, and other instruments, not less legal than hissing, hooting and shouting. The Proprietors can therefore have no hope that the Public will ab. stain from expressing their future disapprobatioe; whenever they may sec occasion, by performing un those instruments, for using which the Proprietors thought proper to imprison several individuals-- and fur which imprisonments, these same Propri etors anti their satellites will be amused by the performance of divers melo.dranses in the Court of King's Bench. The opposition having latterly been confined to the Pit, the exclusion of all but friends from that 'tart of the House, was therefore the grand object of deliberation of the Dramatie'.Cuuncil of War held immediately after 9.7 out of 39 bills of indictment were announced to have been rejected. To fill, or at least to give.the appearance of fullness to the Pit, awl to exclude the oppo. action, was the determination of this Council. To effect this, for a night or tzzo, there could be no difficulty, and, as was foreseen and contrived, the pre-occupation of the Pit at full price, totally excluded the discontented, %v ho did not present themselves at flue door, till the eectistomed hour of half-price—when the word " Full" stared them in the face, and the facetious dour-keepers compla cently assured the numerous applicants for *chills. sion, that they had turned away two hundred ;no. ney customers at full prices. The orders that were issued yesterday are on a piece of paper about three inches in length, and. two inches in width. On the top and at the but. torn are scrawled certain characters, iotdlipible only to the receivers—in the centre of the order is a number. By spreading out, the Pit, before the second act was over, had the appearance of being full ; but it was obvious to those in the Upper Boxes that 'lid(' the utmost capacity of the Pit been tried, aiiont two hundred more might certainly have found sufficient space. We minutely examined the company throughout the house, and venture to assert, that the proper. Lion of finales in every part was nearly that or two ferrates to one male. The appearance of the females was certainly decent an.l RepeCtable, but they were obviously brought in for the ex., press purpose of excluding others. Previous toi the coninteacement of The Grecian Daughter Mr. COOL E delivered the fulkuwits e ; Address:— Tern:eh hostile rep so long within these wall Hs% raised a tempest that var.+, heart appals, . . A Female Candidate comes forth t-i-oigat, •W ho knows your kindness equals all your might. Hence ou that kindness she e'en now relies. While the winds roar, and whit( the billows vise; For whatioe'er may Britons rouse asitear, ' With pride they still protect the -cutler sex. Bat though our Novice ventures free from dread, Lest the storm burst on her defenceless head,. Et when her arduous enterprise she views. The &lager awn her, and her power sabdinss For fenr t hat Critics, a terrific train, Her efforts should reject as rash and vain: Succew Indeed those eforts oft have hand,' And Hope has cheered her on provincial angled I But here, 'cis said, that Jaigusent bolds het seat, 1 And Sages more profosodnod rigid meet; Well, still she dons to erg. her hwadde pi* Since Mercy softens ev'ry sten dents.. ' Some parts of this address were indifferently re. oeived; but the packed audience were certainly 1 faithful to the condition on w hich they were ad. i milted to the Theatre, and loudly and indiscrimi. natcly applauded every thing. Mrs. CLARKE, the 3 lady fur whose debut, the clemency of the *soli ! once was thus implored, received every degree of in i dulgence that she could expect or even desire, twilit' i teeth experienced the general approbation of the audience. She has, however, yet to appear before the Public—for to call the last night's stoffioz of the Pit time PrOlic—were to insult the understandings of our Readers. The rejection of the company at the Pit, filled up the chasms that wore obscrv. ahle before holf.price in the Seven Shillings Galle. rtes and Pigeon-holes, from whence the vocal dis approbation of the company rendered the Flitch of Bacon inaudible. Front the Pit we did not hear any expression of disapprobatiou—but to waids the conclusion—Off, of'!—acquired some strength in the loner Gallery. Professor Bran don, with his train of myrmidons, paid a visit to one of the pigeon-holes, from whence a gentleman had loudly expressed his dim!). probation of the system of exclusion from the Pit. One of the gang, who declined the thief°. •vure. of his name, took no inconsiderable pains to excite a riot by the liberal application of the gen .. 'va i .epithet of " liar". to sonic Gentlemen, who asserted that the Pit had not at any time, during thiseveniag, hem full. Victory. was about to ensue, bet the trick was so glaringly obvious, that the isaraAtioil parties, into the fate of one of whom the' gentleman rcithout a name thrust his tit, prudently fratraiocil tiveir indignation. Professor Brandoo decided the assertion that the Pit was not full. It is, kowever i bat just to say, that he did not use soy epithyt inconsistent with the manners of a aesitlysian. The respectable unknown, on being 1 led en what printiple, authority, or by what he • - - - I - THE STATESMAN. • so grossly misconducted himself, heroically .fe plied, " By the strength of this as The gang, however, retired, and the curtain dropped, not us is falsely, wilfully falsely, asserted in the simple IPress,and the trimming Prints, amidst applanse,for the roar of disapprobation completely overwhelmed the feeble plaudits- of the wearied pet-limners in the Pit, who, in truth, seemed so fatigued by clapping, as to be scarcely ahle to raise their hands fur the necessary operation of covering their empty noddles. In less than 10 minutes the Pit was completely cleared. The judicious introduc tion of two passages, formed by opening benches 'from the top to the bottom of the Pit, greatly fa cilitates both the exit and the entrance of the company to that part of the House. Indeed we have no reserve in expressing our opinion, that it is the best and most convenient Pit that we have t 1. seen in any Theatre. We wish that we could honestly express an equal degree of tads faction with respect to the other parts of the House, some of which are not less contemptible and incommodious, than the Pit is agreeable and convenient. We have forborne to make any remarks on the performance of the Lady who made her ap. pearance—becanse the attention is necessarily, at the present moment, too much diverted from the business of the stage by the behaviour of the cow pany in the House, to admit of minute accuracy or discrimination. Of themerits of this Lady, our upini on is upon the whole favourable, and we shall rejoice to find that opinion confirmed on her future ap. pearance. The plaudits on the appearance of Mr. Youzse, were invariably loud and general. Rut the appearance of Mr. CHARLES KINIBLZ was as invariably hailed, nut by a concord of sweet sounds, but by the delectably mingled harmony of hisses, shouts, hooting, and clapping in the Pit. It is the misfortune of Mr. Charles limbic, that he is one of the Kenebles. Report, however, says, that he is such only in name—thus is ex. emplified the old adage of " Give a dog an ill name, 4c." lf, as we have heard it asserted, his scutimeists arc net in unison with those of his ob stinate brother and his Ce.proprieturs, we lament his misfortune in being one of the Kembke— fur it is to that circumstance alone that he becomes the object of public reprobation. If it were possible for Mr. C. Kemble'to convey to the Public his real sentiments, perhaps his reception might hereafter be more favourable. Tho triumph of the Proprietors when they cir. culated at the doors of the Theatre the Charge of that great Lawyer, Mr. MAINWAItINO, has been as transitory as a shadow. They uuforturiatery forgot that the Charge of the Chairman of the Quarter Sessions was addressed to a body of men selected from that part of the bridal' Public in whom, perhaps, is resident Inure good sense then ever ea. possessed by an equal number of individuals—the respectable, middle rank of Englishmeo. Time law with which Mr. MAIN WARING was evidently extraneously crammed, had no more weight with the Greed Jury than would have been produced by the, ravings of Prifessor BRANDON. The Grand Jury eunsi &red themselves, as they in truth are, the Grand Inquest of the Country, appointed by the Constitution to consider, not wily the law of the ex-parte cases brought before them, but as bound to consider elan the justice—the equity, the expediency, the tendency to tran quillity, and the general propriety of sending men to trial Were a jury of tho country, on new fangled charges, for the first time charged as crimes, and by whom ? fly the Proprietors of a large Ilou • exclusively appropriated to t.ie amusement of the People—to silence and crush which people, an army of brutal ruffians has been hired. IVho are the complainants ? not the persons beaten, bruised, maimed, and dragged to Prison—but the men who have paid Ruffians to commit these acts of outrage upon the persons of Englishmen, by whose favour they have amassed priucely fortunes. The Grand Jury were not to be led by Mr. MAlNlVAntsu's imperative recom mendation to divest themselves of evety feeling but that of law. Tranquillity is the object of law; but not that tranquillity which is produced by the Fist, the Bludgeon, and the Bayonet. The n imes of the Gentlemen on this Grand Jury deserve to be immortalized—nor can they ever Cease to live in the hearts of their fellow_ sakes'. This contest is not a struggle for shil lings and sixpences: the question is, whether the people of England shall be dragooned in the Reign of King Greece the THIRD, at the very moment when the blessings of that Reign are celebrating throughout thc empire by a Jarbilee. The want of policy and common fore. sight in the Proprietors is ahaulutsly-seerveffous. ; It is poinible, that the Public might have finally . t ceased to express their disapprobation had they . I not been insulted, abused, beaten and imprisoned —but to expect that the operations of Dutch Sam, and the tribe of Israel, the Row-street uglicers, .constables, house carpenter s, and other ruffians, with Proeessur Brandon at their head, eau be forgotten by the present generation, is im. pilling to the people of England a degree of tame and servile submission, which has never yet formed a part of their character. Will the Pro victors dare any longer to exclude the Public filen the Pit of the Theatre ? Such et the pre sent moment b . the fact. At all events, the s . t 5. t e m cantle: last lung. " Pounds, Shillings, and Pence," would themselves settle the busi ness. On the night when the Theatre opened, between seven and eight hundred pounds in mo ney were received. On the night precediog the rejection of the bills of indictment, not ens hun .dred and forty. We rejeice to announce the restoration to free. don, of Richard Draper, whom case we men tioued yesterday. lie was discharged, of cerise, at the General Goal Delivery, no indictment having been preferred against him—that being the operation of a statute passed in the time of the Stewart:, expressly to prevent long tyrannicalims prisonmetits. But what is the reason that no bill was preferred against the distributer of the hand-bills, lie also will perform a part lOthe 3lelo:Dramein Westminster-Ball. We shall, shortly, furnish our . . . 0l readers with .a detail of the MSC of the young gentleman who was seism] and searched, and his pockets rifled with a brutal ferocity, which, if it do not rouse the indigugtiun of the People o f England, we greatly inistate their character. We shall conclude by stating the feet as it really Is. The Proprietors have totalk failed in their etl'orts against horns and rattles—and as a forlorn hope—a dernier resort. are now attempt ing (by pckiiig the House with their own crea tures) to persuade the public that the Opposi. tion is at end—Wretched dupes of their own feeble devices !! 771 E LO7TER The following conditions for the sale of taw first Lottery, fur the service of 1809, were sent down yesterday to the Bank : 'rhe•Lottery to consist of 20,000 tickets, and to be drawn the 11. th February, ISi 10.
