Sts,—l wish to make an observation on i subject
of high imp* rtonee, which I shill introdoCe. by. the
following quotation :
" Whereas the late King JAMES 11. by evil Coun-
cillors, did endeavour to subvert, the Coustitag

—by kc.and among other ways—by ARBITRARY,
ILLEGAL, an•l CRUEL punishments; all which ere

statutes, and freedom of this Realm.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.
I -
Last night, Mr. Cn.tar,Es KEMBLE, after an ab-
sence of three years from the raetropolitan stage
made his appearance in Macbeth, and • was received
by the aodience•with the most flittering applause.—
Ws cannot, however, congratulate him upon his
selection of this character. It is a part which re-
quires no ordinary combination of talent to sustain
with full effect : for the actor is left almost wholly to
the rpsonrces of his own genius. If he delights at
all, it niuq be by the felicitous delineation of those
passions which are operating in the mind and heart
of the tyrant, rather thin upon the incidents of the.
drama. There are no scenes in Macbeth which, like
many in Hamlet, Lear, or Othello, rouse the sym-
p ;thy of the audiecce, and carry the performer along
in that full tide of feeling which they excite ; nor are
there any situations in which the: principal personage
is placed that awaken the softer emotions of the bosom.
Ambition, stimulating to crime, and remorse for the
crime that is cornmittod, are the only passions upon
which the poet has built this fine tragedy, and to
poortray their workingt, to show where they operate
singly, where they blend, or where they meet in con-
Aiding opposition, becomes the province of the ac-.
tor. He who aspires to perform this character in
such a way as shall satisfy the lover of SIIAKSPEARE,
