President of the Royal Academy, addressed to the • COMMITTEE of the HOUSE of COMMONS. GENTLEMEN —Having c3retAly eXamitter the WORK of the BRITISH GALLERY of PICTURES, in Two Series, as executed by Mr. TOMKINS, it is my de cided opinion, that as a Work of Art, in Engraviag, they are both correct and beautiful, in their imitations to the Ori ginal Paintings ft um which they have been taken. They do Mr. Tomkins much honour as an Engraver in that elegant department of Art, as they also do to the Age and Country in which we live; and these form a Work which will be ho noured and admired by subsequent Ages, and reflect cuusi derable credit on British talent. I ant. &c. March 20, 1817. BENJAMIN WEST, P.R.A. The same was also signed by R. COSWAY, P.. A. The following addressed to P. W. TOMKINS, Esc;. From Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, R.A. March 27, 1817. Ste—l received the favour of your letter, requesting my opinion of the Engravings which form your National Work of • 4 The British Gallery of Pictures." After an attentive inspection of them, I have no difficulty in assuring you, that they appear to we to be exceedingly accurate in their resemblance to the Pictures from which they are copied, and are rely beautiful specimeus of a fine style of Engraving. The colouring of the Plates is, I think, as close an imita tion of the Originals as is capable of being produced, and the finished and equal execntion of the Work is highly ho nourable to the well-known ability of the Artists employed, and tc the careful integrity with which this National Work has been conducted. Front 'l'. STOTHARD, Esq. R.A. March V). 1817. SIR—On surveying your coloured Prints,' I think them beautiful, and bare no hesitation in affirming they are the best Specimens of Priats I hate ever seen in Colours; at once affordina an idea of the composition, of the light and shade, and colouring of the several Paintings, as far as it is possible to accomplish by multiplied impressions. From Sir ‘VILLIAM BEECHY, R.A. March 26, 1817. Dean Sin—ln compliance with your request, I have looked over the folios of Prints left at my house, and cannot sup pose there can he two opinions on their merits : both in re- - gard to the Engraving and the Colouring, they are certainly most exquisitely finished and unique.—l am, &c. From J. WARD, Esq. R. A. March 26, 1817. My DEAR SIR—I conceive that there can be but one opi nion as it respects the excellence of the highly meritorous . Work you have so ably advanced. As an individual, I deeply regret the circumstance of our highly-favoured Country being deprived front the state of the Continent at this time, of the honour and advantage attending the disseminating, through out Europe, of so rich a display of Talent in that department of Art front which it has formerly acquired so great an influx of wealth, as well as of reputation. From NI. A. SHE E, Esq. R.A. St a—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to that of the President of the Royal Academy, in favour of the Bri tish Gallery of Pictures executed by you. In the high com mendation he bestows upon that Work I entirely concur; as it appears to me to be executed with great ability, to he highly creditable to the Artists who have been engaged in it, and well deserving of every remuneration which can be derived I front the taste and liberality of Parliament. Front R SMIRKE, Esq. R. A. 25th March, 1817. St a—l have been very -much gratified by the inspection of your very excelleht Work of the British Gallery, the greater part of which I had not seen before. The diffe rent sub j ects are executed with great taste and ability, as Engravings, and, to the best of my recollection of the originals, much fidelity ; and the mode in which they are completed as Paintings is new and ingenious. Certainly, the result far exceeds any coloured imitations that were ever produced in Europe. On the whole, 1 consider the Collection to be a very creditable specimen of English Art, and cannot help feeling much regret that so much talent and so much labour and expellee, as such a Work must necessarily have incurred, have not hitherto, as I under stand, been rewarded by a corresponding share of public en eouragentent. From J. FLAXMAN. Esq. R. A. March 26, 1817. Dana have examined the several Plates of your First and Second Series of Engravings, entitled The British Gallery of Pictures ; and I congratulate you on the fidelity and beauty of this National Wurk. I remain, &c. From J. NOLLEKENS,• Esq. R. A. March 26, 1817. Data have viewed your beautiful First and Second Series of Plates of the British Gallery of Pictures, which are admirably executed, and they confer a great degree of credit upon you, as an Ar`ist, and du an honour to the Country.

At one minute to two the arrival of the Prince Regent at the House was announced by a .salvo of artillery. Shortly afterwards his Royal' High ness entered the House, with his accustomed State, the Duke of Wellington carrying the Sword of State. The Dukes of York end Kent were pre scut, and took their seats near the Throne. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, who. way dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform, and wore a dress hat and plume, having taken his seat on the Throne, in his robes and covered, Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was directed by his Royal Highness to command the attendance of the Commons. Shortly afterwards, the Speaker, in his dress robes, accompanied by Lord Castlereagh, in full dress, wearing the Order of the Garter, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Court uni form, and followed by a great number of. the Members of the House of Commons, came to the Bar. The Speaker holding in his hand the Appropria tion Bill, delivered the following Speech : ‘‘ MAY IT PLEASE YOUR RoYAY, HIGIINESS, We, his Majesty's faithful Commons of the United King dom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, attend your Royal Highness with our concluding Bill of, supply. The subjects which hare occupied our attention have been more numerous, more various, and more important, than are usually submitted to the consideration of Parliament in the same Session. " Upon many of these subjects we have been engaged in long .:.nd unwearied examinations ; but such has been the pressure of other business, and particularly of that which ordinarily belongs to a first Session of Parliament, —and such the magnitude and intricacy of many of those inquiries, that the limits of the present Session have not allowed of bring ing them to a close. " But, Sir, of those measures, which we have completed, the most prominent, the must important, and, as we trust, in their consequences, the most beneficial to the Public, are the measures which hare grown out of the consideration of the present state of the Country,--butte in its Currency and its Finances. " Early, Sir, in the present Session, we instituted an in quiry into the effects produced on the exchanges with Foreign Countries, and the state of the Circulating Medium, by the restriction on Payments in Cash by the Bank. This inquiry was most anxiously and most deliberately conducted, and in its result led to the conclusion, that it was most desirable, quickly, but with due precautions, to return to our ancient and healthful state of currency:—That whatever might have been the expediency of the Acts for the suspension of Pay nients in Cash at the different periods at which they were en acted,--and doubtless they were expedient, whilst the Coun try was involved in the most expensive contest that ever weighed down the Finances of any Country,—still that the necessity for the continuance of these Acts having ceased, it became us with as little delay as possible (avoid : og carefully the convulsion of too rapid a transition) to return to our an cient system ;—and that if at any period, and under any circuits stances,this return could be effected without national inconve nience, it was at the present, when this mighty nation, with a proud retrospect of the past, after having made the greatest efforts, and achieved the noblest objects, was now reposing in a confident, and, as we fondly hope, a well-founded ex pectation, of a sound and lasting peace. - " In considering, Sir, the state of our finances, and in mi nutely comparing lour income with our expenditure, it ap peared to us, that the excess of- our income was not fairly adequate for the purposes to which it was applicable, the gra dual reduction of the National Debt. " It appeared to us, that a clear available surplus of at least five millions ought to be set apart for that object,. "This, Sir, has been effected by the additional imposition of three millions of taxes. .c Sir, in adopting this course, Ms Majesty's faithful Com mons did trot conceal from themselves, thatthey were calling upon the nation for a great exertion; but well knowing that honour, and character, and independence, have at all times been the first and dearest objects of the hearts of English men, we felt assured, that there was no difficulty that the country would not encounter, and no pressure to which , she would not willingly and cheerfully submit, to enable her to maintain, pure and unimpaired, that which has never yet been shaken or sullied—her public credit, and her national good faith. " Thus, Sir, I have endeavoured, shortly, and I am aware how imperfectly, to notice the various duties which have de volved upon us, in one of the longest and most arduous Ses sions in the records of Parliament. " The Bill, Sir, which it is my duty to present to your Royal Highness is iutituled, ' Au Act for applying certain the service of the present year. " I sincerely regret that the necessity should have existed of making any addition to the burthens of the people ; but I anticipate the most important permanent advantages from the effort which you have Otis made for meeting at once all . the financial difficulties of the Country; and I derive much satisfactiOn from the belief, that the means wilier you have dexiSed for this purpose are calculated to press as lightly on all classes of the community as could be expected when sO great an effort was to be made. " Vu Lords and Gentlemen, " I continue to receive from Foreign Powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country. " I have observed with great concern the attempts which have recently been made in some of the manufacturing districts, to take advantage of circumstances of local distress to excite a spirit of disaffection to the Institutions: and Government of the Country. No object can be nearer my heart than to pro mote the welfare and, prosperity of all classes of his Majesty's subjects ; but this cannot be effected without the mainte nance of public order and tranquillity, " You may rely, therefore, upon my firm deterMinatiOn tot employ for this purpose the powers entrusted to me by law; and I have no doubt that, on ydrir return to your several counties, you will use. your utmost endeavours, in co-opera tion with the magistracy, to defeat the machinations of those whose projects, if successful, could only aggravate the evils which it is professed to remedy; and who, under the pre tence of Reform, have really no other object hut the subver sion of our happy Constitution." Then the LORD CHANCELLOR, by the Prince Regent's command, said, Mg Lords and Gentlentexi " It is the will and pleasure of hii Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting in the name and on behalf of his Ma jesty, that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday the twenty-fourth day of August next, to be . then here holdeiil and this Parliament is accordingly pr orogued to Tuesday tbei twenty-fourth day of August next.' The Prince Regent took off his bat, and the Speaker and the Members having made thekt obeisances, withdrew from the Bar. His Royal Highness quitted the House with the same state as on his entrance. The Lords retired, and the House was soon afterwards cleared. [For the Proceedings in the House of CoMmons, see the Fourth THE ITALIANS. This Trag edy, it seems, is likely again to en gage no slig ht degree of public attention. It has been very extensively read, and, we believe, nearly as extensively admired ; though it has had tb en counter an opposition, which, perhaps, did it nearly as much service in making it known, as if it had been entirely successful. So far the Au thor has bad little to complain ; for it must stand or,fall by its own intrinsic merit, or demerit, at last. A select party assembled in Soho-square, last week, to witness the effects of a dramatic reading of it by Miss MACAULBY. A finer or more beau.. tiful reading of a Tragedy has not been witnessed in this metropolis, since the time when Mrs. Sipa DONS read detached passages of the Plays of SHAKSPEARS. Passages there are in this Tragedy which arc universally allowed to be beantitully written ; and to these passages Miss MACAULEY gave x vigour and a life, scarcely to be conceived by those, who, unacquainted with the nature of a dramatic ',reading, esteem it ahnost impossible for one Lady to embody the characters of tin en• tire Play in such a manner as to render them not only intelligible to an audience, but productive of high mental delight. In consequence of this exhibition of powers Miss MACAULEY was invited to give the Public au opportunity of jading whether this Tragedy has tlramatic qualities or not. If this Public Reading should take place, the Audience wits have an op portunity of judging for themselves ; and we have no doubt that she will have to number among her visitors, and consequently her admirers, sothe of the most eminent Literary Characters of the pre= sent clay now in London.
