THE differences which have for a long time pre vailed among the Members of this Institution have been much . lamented by every friend to the Arts, and more particularly by those who are acquainted with the respective parties. But the regret arising from these differences is aggravated ,by the conside, ration that they are not likely to subside, as the sup porters of both sides of the question are animated by so firm a conviction of the justness of their cause as to preclude all hope of an amicable accommoda tion. At length Mr. WErr, finding the duties of the Presidentship too arduous and perplexing, amidst the conflitls of party, has been induced to resign his office. The following Letter, in which he signifies his intention, is expressed with so much moderation, delicacy, and respectful loyalty, that it cannot but be acceptable to our Readers.: To the General Assembly of Academicians if the Royal Academy. GENTLEMEN, " I am now the only survivor of the four Artists who, in the year 1768, had the honour of present ing to His Majesty a Flan for an Academy, which, being graciously received and sanctioned by the King, was carried into etre& under his Royal com mends. The first Members were named and created by - His Majesty; and . their choice of Sir JOSINIA 114yzioLos, as President, added splendour to the Institutiow •• "'After the death of that eminent Master, whose distinguished talents have rendered so much ho ndur to his name and Country, without solicitation 'on my pert, the Academy unanimously elected me to the Chair ; and. His Majesty was graciously pleased 'to sanaion 'their choice. I have now, during a period of fourteen years, endeavoured assiduously to perform the duties of that distin guished situation to the best of my abilities, and I have a consolation in refle6ting that I have rendered some aid to its formation, and contributed every thing'in my power to its . piosperity. "'Thirty-seven years arc nearly completed, during whiCh time I have never failed to exhibit my works in the Royal Academy ; but whatever may have been my exertions, or whatever my wishes for the welfare of the Institution;' the occurrences which took place on the loth of December last, and subsu..: que.nt circumstances, have e determined me to 'with- !' draw myself froM the situation of President of the Royal Academy. I shall retire to the.peaceful par suits of my profession : and I hope that my present declaration will afford you sufficient time to consider of the choice of my successor by the loth inst. , • " In relinqu4hing the honour of. this most ,re spectable situation, I beg leave to express the deep sense I entertain far the benefits conferred upon this Society by. our August Founder and .Patron,, and an humble hope. of the continuance of his benign regard for this, his favoured Institution. I shall ever consider the Royal Academy as an establishment from which this Country may and Night to` derive all those advantages which flow from the successful cultivation of its three branches of Art : it will be my prayer that this may be the happy result; and that the fame of Great Britain in Arts may correspond with its elevated charadtcr in the list of Nations.

A separation is about to take place in high life be tween a Noble Lord and his Lady who have recent ly entered into the matrimonial state. The unhappy difference is said to have arisen from the discovery of a letter received by one of the parties from an enamo rata, who likewise is of titled distin&ion, and united by Hymen's bands to a supposed favoured lover.— The discovery alluded to has produced a chain of evidence, which, it is said, cannot be controverted. The parties have not yet taken the necessary steps to procure a divorce, nor has an absolute separation taken place, although daily expe6ted from this double discovery.
