" On Saturday the 25th inft. we failed from Spithead, for our old Ration off Havre, in order to blockade that port during the fpring-tides. At day-light the next morning, we difcovered the Amity SCADS frigate as well as the land near Havre. At 7A.M. we difcovered feveral fail under the land (Landing towards us, which loon after appeared to be a French fquadron confining of a large (hip corvette, three gun-brigs, a fchooner, and lugger, endeavouring to efFelt their efcape to Cberburgh. They hauled their wind to get under the proteCtion of their forts, it I being impolfible to regain the harbour, owing to ithe ftrong ebb-tide then making. " You may fuppofe that not a moment's time was loft in making fail and clearing for anion; every boat in readinefs for hoifting out, withevery implement of war requifite for boarding and cut ting out, as we perceived them coming to an an chor as near their forts as pollible. Never was Britilh loyalty more flrongly perceptible than in the hope of deftroying if not capturing the greaten part of the fquadron, which appeared praCticable ; you can judge of the difappointment that fucceed ed, after finding the water fo (hoal, as not to ad mit our approaching within the reach of our Eng lifh metal. Every officer and man became Volun teers to attack them in the boats, but our Noble Commander found the enterprise too hazardous. The only refonrce was patience to wait the flow ing of the tide, when we made fitil for them, which they no fooner perceived, than their cables were cut and all poffible fail made to work into the harbour, but fuch was the fuperior failing of the LOIRE, that we brought them to anion, which laded an hour. The day being far advanced, obliged us to abandon them for our own fafety. The refult was that the French corvette was driven on (bore, with a fchooner and other veffels much damaged. I cannot Rate the lots of the enemy, but no man was hurt on board of us or our Con fort. It would appear incredible to thofe poffeffed of the kart degree of courage or national honour, that a lar&e frigate was lying juft infide the pier, with a fair wind, and every thing ready for fea, without (hewing the leaft intention to affift the little unfortunate fquadron."

This celebrated Concert clofed for the feafon qn Wednefday night. The feledion was made by the Earl of DARNLEY. Several Choruffes of the great HANDEL, and fome of the favourite works of our famous PIM CEL Lp were in the lift, as met with - the applaufe due to their merits. • BA/411 was in full voice, and difplayed her great talents very hAppily in a recite from gondts. Hsatisom undertook the hall produ,!tion of Pus- CELL," From rofy bowers," which the gave with nice difcrimination and appropriate ex:weirion, and added confiderably to the fame the has fo juftly acquired. Mr. HARRISON fang BACH'S charming air of " Caro Spofa," in his ulual elegant and fi nned manner; and BART LIMAN difplayed his manly tones and kilt expreffinn in " 0 ruddier than the cherry," from Ath and Galatea.

It was [weedy fung by the HARRISONS,W.KNYVETT, and BA RT L aP4 A N and encored throughout the room. The Concert clofed with HA NDI L's Coronation Anthem, " Zadock the Priell." ROYAL ACADEMT. 15. The Ehpation of tbe Brazen Serpent.—W. HA. 11.-row, R. A.—This pi lure is greatly creditable to the talents of Mr. Hamilton, whole pencil has not often been occupied on a fubjea of filch hullo ric dignity. The expreffion in the faces of the dif ferent figures is fine ; the grouper are well con ceived, and controlled, and the mattes of light and ihadosv are harmonioufly ditiributed. The colour ing only wants fobriety of tone. tl3. Infant Bactlam—R. SMIRKI Jun.—This young artill had fallen into a very footy (kyle of colourinip of which he was rather teverely told laft year. the piflure before us evinces that the ad vice then given was not thrown away : in it he has audied, and clofely Itudied, Russms, and in doing fo has produced a work of great brilliancy of tint, though not poffctling much originality, in refpea to align and cumpolltion. 147. A Lantlicate.—P. RIO NAG LE, A.—A pro duel-ion of great merit, but Rrongly tin&ured with the peculiar manner of the artia.—There is a hea vines in the file of Mr. R.'s colouring, of which we had hoped he would have been able to dive& himfelf. is4.—Danar.—H. TRESHAM, R. A.—This is a very co, rca and cladical defign, and padres a great richucfs of effeCt—This is the only pidlure by Mr. Tretham in the Exhibition.—llis the rank he has obtained in the Academy made him idle ? 212. Conway Celle. —P. J. DE LOVTHER. BOURGH, R. A.—A very fine dcfign and true to the fcenery of Wales—but coloured in rather too metallic a Ityle : in point of matterly handling, however, there is not a furerior pi!ture to this in the Exhibition. 164. Scene in Mde leih.—E. EDWARDS, A.— There is nothing of the wild grandeur of SHARE.. SPEAR'S text to be found in this defign : refpeeing its execution we are not able to focalc, as the pic ture hangs in a fituation very defirable to an artilt who does not overrate his abilities. It is fcarcely 281. The army of the Mares &jewel in the Defart. W. TURN ea, A.—This is a very matterly (ketch; but there is fo much trick in the execution, that we doubt much whether its chief beauties could be retained in a print. To lave trouble, the painter teems to have buried his whole army in the rand of the Defart with a tingle Rourill; of his brufli ; thus reminding us of an itinerant Raphael, who, undertaking to delineate, on a flaircaife, the 'Rory of the Children of Ifrael palling the Red Sea, contented himfelf with covering the whole with a coat of oker, and when it was demanded of him, by his patron, what was become of the Ifraelites, he obferved they were gone to the ptomifed land, and that Pharoah and his hoft were all drowned ! 289. The Bird Keeper': WARD.—A pretty little pitlure.—The face of the figure, how ever, wants exprellion—The very error of the fchool after which Mr. W. models himfelf. 32t, 351. Tato Drawing: from a periorGral japer. —R. WESTAL, R. A.—Very highly fini(hed draw ings, but coloured rather gaudily. We do not think any of Mr. Weltal's produCtions of the pre. fent year furpafs thole which have already come before the public. It is to he lamented that he does not turn his attention more to paistial on a larger fcale. 329. London, Autumnal morning,—W. Tuarrea, A.—A very fine drawing, but in which the effect Is produced by the ufual trick of Raining the pa per, obliterating the outlines, &c. &c. 343. Pembroke Caftle.-4 Thunder Stoma approath kg.-•—SAIME AILTIST.--Tbis is a more admirable production than the foregoing. The coming on of the tempeft is perfeslly expreffed, as is the buf de of the Mermen in getting their nets, &c. to gether. The anchors, and other marine articles fcauered on the beach, are touched with wonder ful force and effect. • 339. Portrait of Mr. Pitt.—H. EDRIDOE.—A highly finifhed chalk drawing on a fmall fcale, and one of the belt whole length likeneffes of the /art Minißer that .we have teen. Mr. Edridge has fe teral drawings of a fimilar defcription, and they are all excellent in their kind. 1 80, 3 81 , 383. Portrgits of Loden.—A.
