TILE DRA3IA.

(::IVEST-GA RDEN.

That frightful burlesque on common feeling and
ec.ommon justice in France, the trial of the nteiekyers
of Fnaldes, has at length taken its natural staw, and
been turned intolo-drarae. The Cattle of Pa!uzzi,
performed on Wednesday night, is the French murder
thrown into a popbahle farm, and rescued from the re-
volting and abominable circumstances of the original by
some deference for human feelings, and, weitait airn,),t
said, the decency of human crime. The Count Sahriati
Las married a reluctant beauty. Her lover, Ferdinaad,
from whom she bad beat separated by treachery, re-
turns; the husband, with the 'help of a conferierete,
aornezo, murders him The Countess has seen the
act, and is about to be put to death to prevent detec-
tion, when she is savod by her husbe:W. The ?if:air
cnnee before the tribunal, the Countess and her atten-
dant Zerina are accased. The Count is nrcsent, bat his
wife dreads to accuse her preserver. Ze'rlina, however,
:peaks out, as the French trial expresses it, and charges
the crime on Soranza The Bagger is protium!, the
Count seizes it p,lunges it in his broom, and perishes in
despair. This is deep enough for Traged*, mere than
repulsive enough for feeling; and yet it is otservable
how much the author has been forced to soften and
dimmish the or:gin,sl giddy infamy and dark abomina-
tion of the true French tale. What passes for an ex-
quisite display of sentiment in France, is fortunately
tea Bass for the rude fictions of our stage; the romance
this Frenc tribunal is too affected, revolting and dis-
graceful, far the extravagance of un English Theatre.
The Melo-drame was well perfmned. Mrs. Faucit
was the Countess, Mies Foote Zsrlina, Abbott, whose
acting is always ra ional and manly, was Ferdinaxd,
Terry the Old Marquis, Conn.,r Soranso, and Macreadv
Sairiali. Same of the scenery was pretty, and that
which gave the view of ,he murder by the reflection of
a mirror was much apalanded. There was a tolerable
dance by the corps de belles. The subject is still open,
and if Farce will condescend to stele to the lowness of
ite,buriesque, the most envenomed mockery could not
find more copous food than in the pathetics of the
French Law Ofhcers, the weeping Attorneys General.,
'and senti.mentelizing Chief Justices, the Rouaseaus.on
the Bench, and the Diderots at the Bar. This per-
formance is said to be written by a son of the late Mr.
Raymond?

Miss O'Neill is engsged at the Bath Theatre for six
nightl. Her first appearance will be on the 13th of
June, in the character of Be!lidera.
The Tunisian squadron, which took refuge in Gi.
braltar, continues to he closely watched and blockaded
bly a Portuguese squadron. consisting of three frigates
and two pi/lints, whose vigilance is represented as very
ineommo ling to the barbarians. One of the frigates
remains, constantly in the reed, while the rest of the
squadron sets sail every morning to cruise in the Straits.
The Tunisians will not venture to sail, fearing the re-
slit of an engagement wit's the Portuguese.
Official accounts from St. Domingo state, that Gene-
ral Boyer has been elected successor- to Petion in the
Presidency of the Black Republic. The accession of
the new President took place without the least opposi-
tion, and the inhabitants appeared perfectly tranquil.
and content with the change. The l'roclama•ioa of
Boyer, published on the occasion, consists of a warm
panegyric on the deceased Chieftain. The remainder
of it is filled with thepraisessat the army and people to
v.-horn it is addressed, and with solemn taguntnces on
the part of the new President, that he will respect in-
violably the rights of property—that he will protect the
enterprises of flireigrr and domestic commerce—and that
t.e will regard as sacred, and preserve nnimisdred, the
institutions and establishments of his " titignst prede-
cessor. '
The election of General Boyer to the Presidency of
Hayti is gi nerally considered a favourable event for
the commercial interest. Petion, his pre:lYcessoe, was
s man little skilled in the true bearings of' (versions re-
inting to trade and commerce; and was, be:it:es, some-
what disposed to favour the natives, in a deg:-,c
iietrirwntal, perhaes, to themselves and to ethers—
The he..v rresiiheit. it is said, possesses mere enlight-
ened- views, and has evinced every disposition to carry
them into execution.

GRAND MILITARY REVlEW—Tuesday being the
day appointed for the Grand Military Review to take
place upon Hounslow Heath, and it being generally
understood that the Review was by the special com-
mand of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, in or-
der to afford the Prince of Hesse Hombourg an oppor-
tunity of seeing our tiddlers perform their military
manssovres, every vehicle calculated to convey persons
anxious to be present was pat. in requisition. His
Royal Highness the Prince Regent' left Carlton House
a little before ten o'clock, and. arrived at Hounslow
shortly after clever', by which time the troops, cc:mist-
ing of the first an.' second regiments of Life Guards,
the Oxford Blues, the 10th Hussars (the Prince's
Own), ;Ind the 19th (the Lancers), together with two
brigades of Artillery. and several pieces ofcannon, were
in complete order and arrangement for the inspection of
His Royal Highness the Prince of Hesse HottiLaurg,
and His Royal flighsess the Dake of York, Comman-
der in Chief. The line extended nearly a inile south
of the kagshot road. The several troops continued to
perform their evolutions till half-post two o'cleek.--,
They fired in detachments, vollies, :milieu de joie, and
the artllery went through their various exercises with
much rapidity and dexterity. A little before three
the whsle marched oil the groond, and shortly after-
war, s Prince Regent and Lis distinguished party

SELLING GROUND BEANS AND PEASE FOR COFtEZ.

AEI,. SAMUEL HALLET.

The defendant, Halle!, a grocer and dealer in tea
and coffee, residing in New Compton-street, St. Caters
in the F.elds, was charged with having seven pounds
of the imitation of cetree in his pes.•ession, &e.
Charles Henry Lord an fficer of the Exch-e, being
s'■•crn, sawed, that he and Spencer an officer, went on
the :Bth of Fehruury hist, 'o the shop of the defendant,
and asked for an ounce of coffee, at three halfpence
per ounce. He tecziveii the same, and having paid for
it, left the shop. He examined the same at u ho•tte
near where the defendant lived, and found it was part
coffee and part the imitation cofiee, or what the dc.
fendant called vegetable powder, which is nothing more
or less than burnt beans and pease ground in u
He went hack to the defendant's shop, and asked Lim
to shew him some Qs. cafee, not ground, which, lye./
examination, he found genuine. lie then told the
defendant that he suspected that he commonly dealt in
adulterated cofFee, and asked hires if he had any of tt.e
vegetable powder in his house; he replied that he LIU •
small quantity, and took a cannister from a shelf,
contained 641 b of the vegetable powder. He (wit-
ness) then searched the place, and found some other
cofhe mixed with the vegetable powder, which was in
a state apparently prepared for sate.
Spencer, an officer of time Excise, corroborated the
above evidence, and stated, that the sham coffee seized
at defendant's house was shewn to Mr. Joseph Hut-
hart, grocer and tea dealer, in High street, Borougn,
Southwark.

Mr. Hubbart being sworn, stated, that he hal ex-
amined•the sham euffee seized by the officers in defen •
dant's shop. The one ounce purchased by Lord fc.r
three halfpence, he knew to be nothing else than tt.e
black pigeons beans; there was nu coffee amongt,t it.
The six and a half pounds was a mixture of beans
and coffee, and the quarter of a pound was the same
kind of stuff ground and ready for sale.
The defendant said, that he did not know he was
acting contrary to the Excise Laws by keeping " ve-
getable powder" in bis possession ; that he was obliged
to sell the same at a low price, or he should !use L.:,
custo u.

A Commissioner stated, that he could not be igno-
rant that he was acting .i.legally ; that by selling such
fiborr. in..' bl e stuff, he was iujurin; the health of the
public ; and the Board of Excise was determined to
punish those found dealing .in the illicit manner de-
scribed, with the utmost severity. 'the defendant ass
convicted in the penalty of 501.

Mr. Edward Fox, grocer and dealer in tea and coffee,

quantity of sham coffee in his possession, and with
selling the same for geauine coffee.

AnotheriCommissioner—This is a ca.e in which the

induciog us to mitigate the punalty ; but I think proper
to have the mile heard, as it is ore of the wora descrip-
tion that has come beti re us. _ _

Henry Spencer, an Officer-of Excise, stated, that on
the 2 tat of February, he and Lord, another officer,
went to the defendant.s slicp:and p•lrch...sed an ounce of
coffee, for which he vial three-lialtp.aux. 'They ex-
amined it, and he was &itiatied it was not genuine
coffee; they purchased another ounce (which he

Witness —I looked into a mill and found it contained
a small tiliantity of vegetable powder and coffee. 'lle
defctitiar.t came up and, ground it all out upon the flour

ictim if we had tound any vegetable powder in the

letulant said, " Then i do not care fur thou." Upon
searching the shop he filund the 6 paunch; of ectfee

OY' THE COMMITTLE AND PF.HFOKIHERSI OF TUE
IHE t'UKE ROYAL 1)::UHY LANE.

On Saturday a Meeting, eininisting• of most of the
CAiniittee an Pet-an-mere of Drury Lu.e Theatre,
tetit place in the Saloon, purse:lnt to a circular notice,
on a subject of very great interest. particularly to the
!after. There were present the Duke. of Fe itinel, the
Peal of Essex, Lord Yarmouth, Mr. Peter Moore, &c.
Mr. Peter Moore opened the business. Ile stated,
that the circumstances of the Theatre were such as to
reader it itnpossible to go on as they had le. en going on,
:without a very mite:2-61 and iminediate clienee ir. the
• re,:cipts at the doors; and as that could not be cotepleted,
it became necessary to make an application to those
who had large salaries at the Theatre, with the view
cf continuing the existence of the concern. lie took
this oppoitunity of bearing testimony to the talents of
the peiflettners, whose atilities were universally ac-
ktiositietlytedi, anti of toltuitting that they re:re fully eu.
title/1 to the eriatheothey werespeid. At the tame time
it Mutt be acknowledged, that he and his colleagues
had acted upon the most disinterested principles; and
the proposition he had to make would, no doubt, be.
r.vteirei as proceeding from a motive the most worthy.
"..-/te proposition wa.s, that each perfiinner who had up-
wards of 41. a week, should allow a reduction to take
place. The gradation should take place according to
the extent of the salary. In that of some one-fourth,
clothers one-third, and in others, where the salary
were very great, one-le.lf. The actors looked amazed.
Lord Yarmouth apse eulogised the talents of the •
Comi.eny, and declared at once, that if the proposition
:i• not acceded to, the Theatre must close.
Mr. Dowton.—" Then !et it close. My voice is
'out the voice of an individual upon the establishment,
but I shall never relinquish one farthing of toy salary.
T am ashamed to see a set of Noblemenund Gentlemen
attemyting to oppress a few individuels. lam myself
t.he proprietor cf many theatres in the country, by
a true of which I lose 401. a week, and I should blush
to call the peitformers together to give up a shilling
fir my benefit. Talk of Noblemen. I would not wish
to offend people of rank, but I dont think them supe-
rior eitle.2r in feeling or judgment to other people.'
A converiatien took piece, in which it was said by
a Committee-man, that he knew but of three retains
who had engagements.
Mrs. Bartley observed, that the principal of refusing
to recoguiv engagements might be acted upon by any
ew (uutmittee, and attempts ocoerce made to de-
prive Cie performers of their gaieties at every new ap-
pointment.
A Committeeman.—" Then if you dont agree to
the conditions, the theatre must dote. And you may
go to law if you please. But what will you go to law

tuuriavd.

Mr. Dowton—" We'll go to law with the property.
lhere is property noon which wa can come clown."
Clanuittee-roan.--•' If we allow a firtnig7lt's salary
t, each of you, will you accept of the proposition r.

Dowten (addressing himself to the Committee`..
If you are in want cf money, I'll give yrtu a draft
Fer 5001. on my banker, by which you will be etraLlt.d

The 'Cioniittee then wished tc know, whether they
~4,1;11.! consent to give the -concern credit for their

Mr. Dowttm I have no objection, provided you give
ire security.
Committee-roan.--Security ! Can you exp.ct that

Mr. Dtmton.—Certainly ; if you do net, we can't
