By L CLENNELL.--TheW is ill GAINSBOROUGHS manacts ner a certain charm ,- which , like that of the Sirens, attr and draws you insensibly, and indeed irresistibly, it to i imi tate that appearntly easy style of painting ; but s all delusion, and the unwary Artist soon finds his hopes split upon the rock of disappointment. It is the case here. This picture i , a pastici after a painting of GA 1 N7A3O - propc,:ed last year to the study and imitation of painters; but instead of that f.ee, airy, evanescent touch, which constitute the merit of the Master, we find nought but hesitated, heavy, aad muddied tints. We nituAt ad vise Mr. GLEN ELL •to attempt a manner of his own ; he cannot but gain by the change. 10.5. Vit.w of Hastinm ws, Sussex. No. 111. Vie of the lirest Cliffs, Hastings. r 'By R,. SASS.—The coasts of Sussex are known for their romantic shapes, and the boldness of the white cliffs, which have induced the Gauls to call ori ginally our island Albion--the shores of Devon and Corn wall, which were visited by the Phcenicians of old, being 11 composed generally of red sand.—These two performances; which are intended as companions, do great honour to the discerning eye and glowing pallet of Mr. Sass ; and his Landscape c. ad Cattle, under No. 129, deserves and receives daily, an unfeigned tribute of praise from the Public. No. 116-118. A Flower-Piece. By tss W ALTON.-"- This lady is not the first paintress who took the children of Flora, the variegated beauties of the parterre, for the themes of her study. RACHEL MISR, a century ago, was in the full vigour of her deserved fame, and was still creating on the canvas the blooming daughters of Spring. long after the hand of time had poured t winter-snow upon her bind, Miss WALTON seems to have a very good idea of groupindg, which is an essential point in flower-pieces ; and her execu tion offers great hopes of future perfection. 173. A Composition from a Description of Aritunt. By G. ARN AL D, A. R. A.—The Fine Arts share, in a certain degree, the same privileges which Nature has. No ani mated being is tired to see the majesty of the rising or set ting Sun, although it is the same thing every day ; no one has ever been tempted to dislike the blooming face of Spring, though it returns every y ear: it is so with the pro ductions of Art, when really -good. We have seen the above-named performance at Somerset-house, and vet our eyes meet it here with as much pleasure, as when we saw it for the first time : it gives us an idea of that beautiful spot, and of the B?fcri rosaria " The Pastan roses and their double spring." DR • YDEN• Of the famous temple, the remains of which frown still on the countenance of the astonished traveller; and of the warm and clear skies of Lucania. - - 171• A LandBctipe. By P. ItriNAGL E, Senior, 'R. A. elect.—Th:s name 1 - vis a pleasing sound to t:e car of the chromatic muse; and the landscape owes a great deal to the bkitl of those who bear it. Nature seems to have lifted, in their favour, the veil which covers her lovely face; and, on their part, they have followed, in imitating her beauties, the paths of those who acquired the greatest reputation in that pleat,ing pursuit ; and who, like Apollo stoning after Daphne, found, at the end of the race, a plenty of laurels in their hands. Mr. ReisAcLE, Sen. in particular, has been very industrious and successful ; the rooms glow, on every side, with the works of his hands. JULY 5. Late on Monday night a Messenger was sent from the Secretary of State's office with dispatches for :\lr. Foster, a t New Yot k.

General Phillipon, the late Governor of Badajoz, h as broke his parole, for the purpose of escaping to France. The present of French Generals appear not to have the least idea of that nice sense of honour which characterised the French.t ienerals of the old school.

Several store ships have arrived from Lisbon, having left the T4us on the 20th ult. The fullest expectation was indulged, that Lord \V ELLINGTON would penetrate into the interior of Spain, in the direction of Madrid, and it was supposed that the en terprize of Gen. 1111,1„ at the Bride of Ahnarex, was intended as a reconnoisance auxiliary to this design. A meeting has taken place at the Portuguese A mbassadoi's to raise a subscription for the- unprotected orphans . in Por tugal. Not •only by the destruction of battle, but by the general dispersion of the peaceable inhabitants, a great num ber of helpless infants are thrown upon the country without a home, and without a friend. Contributions were made, and a considerable sum was obtained. The last advices from Buenos Ayies state, that General Go vlNEcirr, with 12,000 men under his command, was advancing with great haste against that place. lle had alfeady passed Jajury,..by several leagues ; and the who!e force which the Junta had at band to oppose to his army did not exceed 4,000 men ; the main body of the Buenos Ayres troops having crossed the water to attack the llonte deans.
