'I his. national vanity, if it may be thus denominate!, is not r eculior to England, for the Rommis were equ illy -ambitious of perpetrating their likene,iel, and it was as common at one time in the Italian capital for every class of persons to have their heads chiseled in marble, as tt is with the English to have their portraits taken in oil. The former eircumsnince ac counts for the numerous Roman busts that are to be found in all colleetions ; and ue easily ilecover the reason why Portrait is preferred to historical composition in both ci: cumstances, and in a know ledge of mankind. The sympathy excited by re lationship, and friendly intercourse, operates more povrerfelly upon our determinations, than any sen timents derived trim history, or philosophical we. culation. Thus we choose a portrait of a dear and valued friend, in preference to a fancy jnictine. That Er.,,lish Artists have excelled those of every other cou n try in this species of painting, none can have the temerity to deny, after seeing some of the interesting and exquisite Portraits of Sir Joseen Riv scup., ar.d some by living Painters. Many young Artiste have also evinced extraordinary taste and talent in the same line, and if we can uni:e fide lity if in the representation of great and good cliarat"'!es:i, with taste, science, and exectition in the piaure, we may continue to contemplate their perfnemaines with pleasure and improving gratifica cation.—We will now advert to some ofthe princi pal pictures which are this year submitted to public inspection and patronage.

To TVE tic Hi' nom. 'rim LOaD PItOVOST, cum bi,:GISTAA'fE OF U.N3L MY I beg leave to transmit to your Lordship an ex trail from a French Journal, which has been lately published in this town. The ancient name of Ramsay is so well known in Scotland, that it may likely be in your power to obtain some iatirrmatiou about the Lanny of Thom: Sangster Ramsay, a young man of about 18 years of age, who is said to be born in Bengal, and son to Mr. Nisbet Ram say, a Scotch gentleman, and superior officer iff the English army about 1793. This unhappy youth, alter baying been turned away, and_wilfully forsaken by the inhuman tutor at Bayonne, to whose care he had been committed by his father, has been a most wretched wanderer these nine years, troth by sea and land. No doubt but his relations have been very unzasy about his lac, and very likely have mourned for him as for a dead child. How glad would they be to hear he is well, and longs to take shelter in their arms ! I should think myself happy to be assured that this my application to your humanity, in favour of your young countryman, has not been displeasing to your Lordship, and that it may be any way ser viceable to him. I am, very respeafully, your Lordship's most humble servant, FAUTIN, Secretaire de la Mairie, a Grenoblz. • Grascble, tL:lBth Veatose-9ih March, 103. Extraa front the journal de Crenolde, on ilttnaks Dept:my:tut de L' here, Mercredi; i 1 Ventose. Nisbet Ramsay, born in Scotland, and of consi derable rank in the British service, was taken pri soner by the French tile beginning of the last war, sad carried into Toulouse, about the year 1793. At the fall of Robespierre he quitted that city, and repaired to Bayonne, a prisoner on his parole. He had with him . his son, Thomas Sangster Ram say, born iu Beugal, whOse mother died in child birth. Nisbet Ramsay boarded his son with M. Amile-Wincelas-Muntz Berger, diredor of the or clestra at the theatre of Bayonne ' • but being obliged to depart suddenly, to return to his native country, he committed the care of his son to a private person, for whom he had.letters of recommendation, and to whom lie gave money for the charge of his son till he Could send for him. But this person, dead to every feeling of honour and humanity, received the money deAined as the beard of young Ramsay, without fulfilling the engagements he had - contra6ted in receiving under his roof this sacred deposit. lis turned this unfortunate child out of his house at the age of nine, and obliged him to en , rag:.• finiself as a cabin-boy. Young Ramsay served in this capa city four - years. Returning, to France, he hurled at Havre, still ignorant where his parents might be. Since that period he has led a wandering lift, and so unfortunate, that often he has been obliged to beg his bread. At last chance conduced him into the depart ment of here, where he tiiled the ground and kept cattle near four )cars, at St. Jean de Vaux, a village situated in the most mountainous part of the country; and four leagues from Grenoble. Fatigued with this state of servitude, and' urged by the ardent desire of finding his father again, of whose fate he was still ignorant, he Went to Grenoble, where-he-learnt by nccident that M. Berger, his music-master at Barrnnc, resided at Grenoble. He went to his hotne ; M. Berger recolle&ed him ; and young Ramsay has found in his old master a secon..7. fatha.. The family of Ramsay roust be in the greatest anxiety for the fate of this unfortunate youth. M. Berger, yielding to the impulse of generosity, and li•aening only to the voice of humanity, will take charge of the young man till Lis family, informed of the place of his residence, will claim him.—Young Ramsay is tall, has a fine figure, and a pleasant c countenance. Poverty, and the wild state he was la, . have not altered his featnres nor limited his. understanding ; he has not altogether forgot the English language, and still retains souse knowledge of music. M. Berger thinks the quickest meth o d of making the existence of Thomas Ramsay known to hi; fa mily, will be to insert into our paper the history of his misfortunes, in hopes that the most creditable journalists of Pails, eager to contribute to the hap piness of the family of Ramsay, will insert this account in theirs. These papers, circulating in England, will inform the fatuity of Ramsay where they will find their lose chid.—M. Amite Wincelas Muntz-Berger, Professor of Music, lives in Rue Brocherie, No. 11 . 8, Grenoble. To this address, particularly, the family of Ramsay will have re course to find young Thomac. 7 Cardinal You; has removed from Venice to his Episcopal Seat near Rome.
