About fifty light transports, of from about 150 to 250 tons each, are now within the Pier to receive them. One of these Transports, in running in on Monday evening with a heavy se# l , considerably damaged the lodge which surrounds : the :a light-house, at the extremity of the pier.

CIO 11 POETRY. , • ON the report that the beautifal C;rotivas ; .itt Twickenham, planted by P o r E , h a d been converted into a common garden.* Oh ! Twou to taste and nobler feelings dead, ' Whose ruthless hand this vulgar ruin spread ! Where POPE'S chaste fancy deck'd the classic ground, In her lov'd haunt the I3RIz I$H MUSE to wound ! In the lov'd haunt the Muse herself had rear'd, By GENIUS, NATURE, and by TIME endear'd ! Ne'er can that Muse her deep' i regreeproclaim, But brands the havoc with eternal shame. Thus be of yore, ambitious, wild, and vain, Destroy'd as Ephesus the sacred fane! Yet 'twas the love of Fame beguil'd his mind, And some excuse in human pride we find ; Fame that impels the heart to high emprize, Fame that ensnares the virtuous and . the wise ; ' But thou, unknown, and reckless of a name, r - beat' to the madd'ning strains of syren Fame; 'Thou, guilt that nothing palliates, could'st deface ~, , What GENIUS, NATURE, TIME, were proud to grace. These lines were written during the life of the last 0 wnet of this interesting place, but, it is said, that the present Pos• sessor of it means to complete the Gothic ravage. THE ARTS.—LAWRENCE has just finished a fine Portrait of Mr. PITT, which, besides bearing a faith ful resemblance of the ever-to-be-lamented original, forcibly exptesses that lofty scorn of everything hostile to the interests of virtue, and the happiness of man kind, which was a predominant feature in time cha ra&er of that great and good Statesman.--This ad mirable Pi&ure, we trust, will be engraved, to multiply the similitudes of so, great a man, and ex cite others to follow his steps in the paths of pa triotism and honour. LAWRENCE . has also painted an etcellent Portrait of KEMBLE, for Mr. HARRIS, of Covent Garden Theatre. The ; portrait does not represent any theatrical charaaer. The, likeness is exact and animated, and there_ is a'sober dignity in the: colouring that manifests sound taste and judg ,ineet ;in .the Artist. H.RISTOPHEI.OANSTEY . , ESQ.—A . monument in , honour of this lively Poet and respe6t.able man has rßeen recently placed. in Westruinger-Abbey. It is i';ineritpd tribute of filial atteakin to departed ge nius. The late, Mr. ANSTEY possess'ed-great humour; his works are chara6terised by peculiar ease , and spirit, and he may be . fairly.considered •as the inventor of anew and diverting .species of Poetry. ,This monument is properly placed. in Poets' Corner, . and bears a Latin incription, that does justice to the memory of the dead,, without that extravagance of eulogy which too often appears in such conaposltions.! —The Royal Naval Asylum for the Childrtn of Sea „rnrl,:will be attended with a secondary, yeti mportant, public advantage, in , affording a comfortable retreat and ,provision for a few bid and 'meritorious Officers Of the Navy, in the various departments of Governor, Chaplain, Surgeon, &c. and will also provide for the widows of Officers and seamen, in the employment• of Matrons, Nurses, .&c.

A Mr. BEAumoi.IT is to take the Glasgow Theatre aethe end of_the.present lease, which expires in two years.He is .to give 16001. a year for it.

(From the Telegraph.)—" It is incredible what a disagreeable impression the news of the fall of Dant sic produced here. Most men pour forth execra tions against the Russians, because they have not exerted sufficient vigour in order to relieve that city. The Royal Bank, and the various effeas of the King, which were lately brought from Memel to Konigs burgh, are again about to be sent back. Several families begin to follow this example ; and the cir cumstance, that the French having now their left wing proteaed, are able to advance against Konigs burgh, creates great despondency, which .is still farther increased by the prevailing reports that the Russians mean . to retreat. Our politicians have held out to us, that this was only a snare to entrap the French troops ; but these Gentlemen forget that eagles are not caught with lime twigs. We have been perpetually assured in our Gazette, that the re inforcements which the French have received con sist only of a corps of from 4 to 5000 men, composed for the mostpart of Conscripts, the most part of them boys ; and that the former movements among the French were only made to induce the belief that great reinforcements had arrived. And yet we have let Dantzic be taken ! We are told that our King cannot possibly accept the terms' of peace prOposed by NAPOLEON, particularly since he has entered in to stipulatiOns with his Allies the most advantageous to his Crown, and theSe Allies will procure for him much greater' advantages' than NAPOLEON would voluntarily accede to. , • ''‘ Is 'the capture o f Dantaic the commencement of these advantages ? Would' it not be wiser.to enter into stipulations with him, who has in his hand the wished-for advantages, than with those who must first themselves procure theM ?" VIENNA, MAY 27.—0 n the 21st instant, six per sons, belonging to the Civil Department of the State, were brought hither from Osen, under a militarY escort; and delivered into the custody of the Magistrates. It is also said, that two carriages, on their way from Hungary, were stopped,' and the persons found in them seized. It is reported on 'this occasion, though it is•by no means probable, that at the first sitting of the Diet in Hungary, two foreigners were discovered, disguised in the Hun garian dress. VIENNA, MAY 30.--The Archduke CHARLES re turned here on the 27th, from Hungary, in perfea health, The Count STADION, Minister for Foreign Affairs, is also returned to this capital. The Em peror is expected to-morrow from the Castle of Luxemburgh. HALLE, MAY 28.—During the last fortnight, several bodies of troops have passed through this place, and the number of those which have passed through our neighboUrhood and Saxony is esti mated at 30,000: they are all on their march to wards the Grand Army. Within the, same period several hundred waggons have, also arrived front Saxony, laden with grain and flour, all of which have been' transported to Magdebourgh, BAYREUTH, MAY 30.—The Oarette of this place, of yesterday, contained ;he folloWing article from the Banks of the Maine :—" The Confederation of the Rhine continuing to increase, and that deno mination being considered as too vague, it will be changed into that of the Germanic Confederation, which is more suitable to the great extent of the Countries which those Powers occupy." LUBECK, JUNE s.—We are still without any spe cific declaration from Sweden, respeCting our navi gation. The Commander of a Ship called the Krel lenburgh, who arrived here to-day from Pillau,, says, that he was stoppad ,by a Swedish frigate stationed near Darrs, who, flaying examined' his papers, and finding that his vessel was from Lubeck, l e t h er proceed on her voyage. Another of our ships, which arrivedalso f from Piiian, was st4pped by the Scred'es, who put some sailors on hoard, and ordered hLr o proceed to Ystadt. BANKS OF THE VLBE, JUNE g.—lt is reported, that Gen. BLUCHER arrived on the itgth'ult. - at Stral sund, where the number of Prussian troops amount ed to '6OOO men. The French head-quarters . are about to be transferred to Auclatn. Tkis change in • dices us to suppose that the re-commencement of ho:- tiiities is not far distant. AUGSBURGH, MAY (48.—What was said of the 'Camp of GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, during the 3o years' war, may be applied to the French troops ;- viz. that the troops regularly performed their reli giousduties twice a day. Both morning and urea- . ing, after roll-call, the companies are forcued into circles, and a Chaplain, or Serjeant; reads, in a loud voice, and with great, devotion, the morning an:t evening prayers, in which the troops join, [FROM A BERLIN PIPER, JUNE t.] • " A variety: of German Papers have circulated in telligence which seems to intimate that Austria will be brought join .to the Coalition ; but, however a recollection of the - incidents of the last eventful years may serve toyender this event not absolutely impos sible, yet a steady contemplation of the present site ation of i-ance, her power, and that- of her Allies, do not- suffer us to entertain any doubt as to the' suit. France, united with the South of Getmany„ is' in possession of the NoYthern half as conqueror, and • can avail herself of its "resources, which, though :less productive, mar be turned to advantage, these &Kin tries having been,Spared frn:n.the ravages of war. In possession of a series of fortre.-7 ; from Hameln and Magdeburgh to Glogau - and Schweidnitz, and- pro- tected-by several parallel rivers against Russia, France would be able, for the present, to carry on. a defen sive war against that Power, while the genius of NAPOLEON would 'lead him, with his accustomed velocity, the shortest way into the heart of the Art strian •Monarchy. The Allies of Holland and of Spain . would be sufficient to frustrate the long -threat ened Invasion- of the English ; and, in the mean • while the, immense unassailable territory of France would, in afew months, resemble one vast camp.— The marcleof troops over the Rhine 'has never once ceased . ; and the North of Germany is filled with the - Reserve.ofthe'Graud Army. In a year France would exhibit a mass amen in arms to be compared only with what the same nation exhibited when, as a Re public, it contended against all Europe. But how greatly are the external and internal relations of 'France changed since that period ! A firm Oraani- • - zation and perfect repose in the interior; and an union with one half of civilized Europe, will not suf- fer a doubt to exist concerning theilsue of such 'a contest, recollecting haw the former terminated.— The painful lesson which the European Powers have been- receiving - -during the last fifteen years, does not, indeed, seem to have produced any great change in their Policy. The same illusions are maintained, the same 'absurd confidence- rn the sufficiency of obsolete expedients and resources, and the same scornful contempt of the saving hand which .the -genius of the age presents to them ! It must be con fessed, however, that the,expectation of conquering France is pretty well given' up. In the mean while that Power from which we should least have expect ed it, Austria, appears best, to understand the disease and - the remedy: - - - Thiris - vvarent tfrom ttre ma by: — reforms she has partly planned, and began ; and we infer from this, that Austria, for herself at least, will try to maintain peace." POLICE.-WC yesterday mentioned an extraordi nary circumstance that had occurred in Fleet strcet in the morning. The following is a more particular account of The matter, as appeared on the exatnina. tion of the nil - ender soon after at Guildhall, before the Sittig; Magistrate; Sir JOl-61' EANIER Johri'Al6tinTief Munroe, a genteel looking man: about 40;fyears of age, was charged with firing a loaded piStoll , itt'a7cly, in Fleet -street, about ten o'clock in '`tV6 morning. A friend of the Ladr, stated, that the ball grazed the side of the Lady s face, and that she was too ill to attend. He added, that the Lady kneW nothing of the Prisoner, never having seen him before. The ball, after grazing the face of the Lady, took an oblique.dire&ion, broke an upper pane in the shop window of Mr. Davison, the perfumer, and struck the cieling. A young woman in the shop was so much frightened, that she fell Upon the floor, and was supposed dead ; but, on examination, she was found 'not to have re ceived any personal injury. A crowd was imme diatelyrattraaed to the spotaby the report of the pistol, and - the - Prisoner was taken into custody. The pistol was taken from him, and in his pocket were found two balls and Some gun-powder. A Gentleman who saw the transaction stated, that the Prisoner was at a distance of three or tour yards from the Lady when he fired, and that he fired in a careless manner, as if he did not know whom he was firing at, or had no distin& obje& in view. Sir JOHN . EAMER, the Presiding Magistrate, asked the Prisoner who he was, and whence, he came ? whether he knew the Lady, and what could have induced him to commit such a rash a& ? The Pri soner appeared rather unhappy in his mind, but gate rational answers to all these questions. He said he was a Scotchtnan, and came from Glasgow, where, he bad been a Merchant; that he had been in Ltsodon three months, and purchased the pistol since his arrival, thinking he - Mould hate occasion for it. With respe& to the firing of it, he declined giving - any.reason for it, but said that his sister knew and would tell. That besides his sister and her hus band, he had a cousin in. London ; and he gave their addresses. He was committed for furthei examination, which will take place.w hen the Lady-is sufficiently recta vefed to attend. the .Prisoner's .lister is also to be brought forward upon the occasion.
