Willa I Alexandria lifts her towers on high, And Nile's proud torrent deluges the plain, The Muse in sorrow turns her pitying cye, And weeps to think on many a Hero slain. Oh ! fatal Honour of destrutlive War, How dearly purchas'd is thy laurel meet!, If thousands live to show th' intrenched scar, And, hopeless of return, if myriads bleed ! Loud actlarnation bids the world rejoice, And thoughtless millions catch the rapturous call ; But must we hear unmov'd the Mourner's Noice, Nor mark the bitter drops that Silent fall ? How many a cheek with tears shall oft be stain'd, How many a gallant heart in secret sigh, TO think that; ere such glory could be gain'd, Or England boast, Must ABLICROMSY die ! Though Conquest spreads her crimson banners wide, And shouts of triumph swell the passing gales, Thy fate deplor'd subdues a Nation'S pride, And whispers kill that half her purpose fails. Though France her Flag Invincible resigns, And owns of British Arms her coward tears, The downcast Vi4or 'midst his palms repines, And bathes the bloody standard with his tears. Undaunted Warrior,, who thy fate could hear, . Nor curse thitne Wars whictifill thiS world with wbc ? What eye could look upon thy lourcat bier, Nor feel some kindred drops from pity flow Yes, o'er thy Tomb, .in future times, shall bend The sorrowing Turk : and Arabs sad shall t:Il •To ages yet unborn, thy Luckless end; And teach their Sons how,A oats? fell. Thy patient virtue needs no Muse's lay To speak its worth:, for• History's faithful page Thy welMried courage on that glorious day, Shill spread thro' ev'ty clime in ev'ry .age. When P P Y'S loft pile to dust shall turn, - When time shall steal from Pyramids their fame, When sinks the column, and the sculptued urn, ,Still firm shall stand thine everlasting Name. • To add one praise to History's brightest theme My verse aspires not i but it fain would try To stop with lenient balm the copious stream • • Which flows in anguish from thy Widow's eye.

But vain this hope ; from many an anxious friend, "tVho watch'cl your I,'!ssening sails from Albion's shore, And pray'd that Heav'n such virtue might defend, 111-stared youparttd—to return no more f • But wherefore should we Weep ? thinehoriour'd brow Angels have bound with never-fading flow'rs, And snatch'd thee from this world of griefs below, To rest with tliem in fair celestial bowirs.

THE importance of Int Art rs in. Society- is, on all hands, acknowletted, and therefore we have thought it a duty to bestow our , attention on, the great National 'School of thi;Country. The rt. sure of public' concerns, the momentous changes which have lately occurred, and the interesting state of affairs in ali parts of the. World, l el vc , h ow _ ever, so much engaged , our notice, that we h,i\ not been able to ee,ter so .a:npty as we intended in. to the labours of British Genius. In our — obs: vations on the late Exhibition, «e endeavour_ ecl to form an impartial estimate of the merits of the. several Artists, and we have the , satisfadion of finding that our remarks have been approved. But we have been obliged to pass met many works of c - onsiderable merit, ,and as the Exhibition. h as closed, we also must close our animadversions. That the Exhibition, as we at first obsenrch ma nifested .a general improvement in the Arts, ,„ to be admitted, and if We cannot boast of individuals equal in excellence to former members of the Aca demy, we can at least boast of Artists in every Province that surpass All we hear of their coutcrnpo. rants in every other part of Europe. PAINTING and Seu LP TV RE proceed upon the best principles ; they look with reverence upon what ANTIQUITY has bequeathed to them, and they ful low her steps under the guio.anceof Taste. 'Though we have commented on the works of the most disc inguished Artists who have submitted their labours to the. Public this year, yet, we have not only been obliged to overlook many of their produc tions, but also to be wholly silent upon' the works of many who are well 'entitled to our notice. It is' our intention, however, to keep an eye von the progress of Art, and whenever any work of pro. minent merit appears, it shall not pass without due attention. We cannot conclude without olmerving, that it is the duty °revery. Academician, to exert his talents in support of an institution to which Ile belongs, and on which the credit of national taste, in a great degree, depends ; therefore we hope that those who have not this year shewn a sufficient zeal for the honour and interest of the Academy,, will herofter endeavour to atone for their apparent ne. gligence.

MILITARY COLLEGE. , WIIOEVER. is at.all aeowainted with`tli, relative situation of Great Britain and tilt other European Powers, and is interested in the futufe destiny of the former State, cannot have avoided feeling'very great satisfaftion on seeing Parliament giving its sane. tion and its support to the Military Colleg establish ed at Beaconsfield. The Fdn,ls which have been • i assigned by l'arliament fur the stypert 01 t,, will admit of its being put on a more extensive scale, and a more solid foundation, than it has hitherto LI Although our Troops have at all-tinies performed an honourable part, and althotigh they have furnish ed. us • with Generals worthy to.command them, it cannot be dissembled that this is rather owing to their courage and to their patriotism, than to the possession of any Military mewls equal to those of the Enemy with whoM they had to contend. We have certainly been stir more than. half a Century greatly behind hand with the other Powers of Europe in every thing relative to the arts of Encampthent, and of Fortification, the application .of Engineering to. Field Service, 'the theory of great Movementa of an Army—in short, in all that belongs to the Duties of the General Staff. For sixty yeats•Europe con fined' irself, 'in its militaty Career, to the pursuit, more or less closelY, of the Systeni introduced by GusTAvys'AboLpHus,..and'cii t riQd >to the highest degree of perfeCtion by LT a EitNE, MONTE CUCUI:- MARLOOROUGH, CO :t DE, CATINAT, and Vi LARS. FREDERICK appeared, and his genius mediately invented other means; and chalked otit new roads in . which all hastened to tread, and the young soldiers in other Countries were modeled upon the plap laid down by him. Where so much was to be reaped, it is reasonable to suppose that much was • sown.- A great number of Officers were formed, particularly in Fraike and Austria, who supplied the Generals with good Aide.:de.Camps, aode what .was of mach greater importance, with an intelligent Military Staff, the mast valuable and the most indispensable part of an army. It is well kuownhow tuncliSuwo R ROW regretted his inability to, - find, this grand desideratum in the RusSian Army, and that he considered his Troops as incap r able from the wantofir, of acing without the assist ance of art Ally who was provided with, it. Amid this almost general emulation which was excited in the Continental 'Powers; our own Country enjoying its peculiar felicity, confiding in its strength, and sensible of itseMaritime'Superiority, relied almost wholly on the.unimpeaehed valour of its .Troops, and if it did ..not remain wholly stationary in the career of improvement, it at least made mUch'less strides • than other Countries. For the plaO of bring ing us to a level with, and even of making U 3 Qua strip others, we - are indebted' to ourpreseni Com mander in Chief. It was he who planned it, and it is he who. hes incessantly laboured to carry it into circa. . All the improvements whieh could be made inamediattly, such as those which tel to the instrudion, the discipline, and the equipment of the Soldier, he had made: blot he was sensible that there were still others which time alone could produce. and bring to maturity. in this view of the subjed, • he laid 'tire Olati of the Military College,' the exist eOce of which ha's been eanfirmed by• Parliament, and which' is now' bectrrie really a National ,objeeL HencefOrth we - shall no' longer have to envy the SChools of Potirlam, Vienna, and 'Paris'---that of Beaconsfield' will be a Outset' , ' fertiliied by the. patronage of the Country, by the autKority Of the Commander in Chief, by the care of the Secre tary at ,War, who, when proposing thin important measure to the House of Commons, confirmed the advantageous opinion which the Public had formed of him, .and shoved himself, fit to co-operate with - the Administration of which he formS part, in exer tions to promOte the honour and the prosperity of his. Country: : • The objedions which have been made to the esta blishment of this college, appear to us to be ail of them enfbended, and some, we must say, even ab surd. To urge as'an'argurnent against our improv_ ing our military science, that we 'haVetO. boast in ' history of a, Marlborough, is as if it should be that the PruSsians are to neglea ,the same study because they have a Frederick, or that the Austrians need not give themselveS- any uneasiness on the subjed as long as they shall pOsse .s the Areh duke Ci-inkees. . it is precisely becanSe we cannot 'flatter ourselves ` with alwayi totitiOg a general of the first rank or ability at the head of our armiei, that , we ought to endeavour to make up fbr the' deficicoey by the diSsemination of 'in streCtion a non our officers, and .by bringing' to perfefflon the different elements which con the ttrt of War. The ernalation excited by a ' public school; is, besides, that' which is best calculated to give, birth to, and to bring for ward superior talents, nor can . they, besides; be of any great utility to their Country, until they find proper imtruinents'prepared and ready li* employ merit.
