Collection, consisting of 4.:l,r,c;tEs, 11.‘i,LADi, and ,SKETCHES, on various subjects, •chitily Descriptive, - by WILLIAM LIN LEY, Esq. late in the , &iv?! Service qt,the East India Company.

The name of LINLEY has long borne the stamp - of getkius a!ul t,.lste, and the work before us is by 'no means.calculated to diminish its reputation.- I..rm.Ev.tamily• has been particularly distin guished in the.tintsicil world, and not a single member of it has been so neglected by .nature as 1!; he unable to assert pretensions to a portion .of its honours. The elder-Mr. LINLEY (the head o*. it) was jit,tly admired for his sonnd knowledge in the science of music, and for the feeling and eleganct - Which marked his compositions. His eldest son, Nvho. , e unfortunate death was a loss to the world, as well as- to his' family, left -sonic produCtions which will always preserve his name with honour as a musical composer of great ge nTus, imagination, and sensibility. The late Mrs. Sit ERIDAN, the eldest of the daughters, was not only distinguished for beauty, -anti great 'musical rowers, but fur poetical talents of a high order. Otto r ft male branches, of the the family, who tell victims to,consumption in early life, were also pOs'ses , ed of considerable musical powers. The Gentleman who has given the precept work to the public, though not educated to the musical pro fession, i.s —.according to report, .gifted, in stnaiiclegrz..e, with the talents which have adorned his family. But it is time to advert to the work itself. .The first part consists of Poems by 111.;. LEFTLE I", a young man, whose' premature death 'was partly o%'‘iny, to ill health, and partly to dejection, arising 2 from- disappointment and adverse , fortune - . Mr. LI NLEY, who was his school-fellow, and Who maintained a friendship with. him rill his death, has, in this Work, given a short but interesting and affecting account of it is life and writings. Of the latter he speaks with t'w natural partiality of a friend, but there is much in those writings that will justify, in a great m - ett sure, the praise which is bestowed upon then). — The Readers, in general, will view them with in -dulgenee,' as they were the effusions of a" mind naturally irritable, and which had been rendered more s 9 by the want of patrona‘-e and the pres sure of distress. The following lines are written, in-the style of some of - our older Poets, and are marked by fancy and feeling. SON N ET. I hear thee speak, Illy speech my soul entrancing, I sit, all ear, to hear thy voice alone 7 I see theealance, so graceful is thy dancing, I wish thee still to dance, and neer have (tone ; I read thy verses, where my swift eye glancing, F it one grace !oat, finds every grace in one; Each art before the other art advancing,. That each for each I change, yet none -for none: Thy music, pictures, gardens, all invite me To 01Y11 thy skill in every, art contest; And sineethy beauty, love, and youth excite me To :,ress thee; nearer to my throbbing breast, As one in all, let all in one delight me, " Aid the last joy be dearer than the rest." Aire shall select another Poem, written in a dif ferent b-cause it is applicable to the pre se►;t a►►d way be ►leemedl a proper tribute to the herues uf the day., onE Crown%of nak Ind laurel bring,' . Strew with oronching palm the ways, Tune your h:lrps svaiphoolous, sing Songs of triumph, songs of praise. Hail the chiefs, the patriots hail, - Who their foes in arms assail And their.native land to free, Welcome death or victory. * Children join a nation's voice, A'tatrons liOar, rejoice, reoice ; Would yon rich and happy be, 'Welcome peace and liberty. • • Crowns of oak and myitle bring, • Strew with branching palm the ways, To your harps synylioniOus, sing . Songs of triumph, saes of. praise. • Who deserves the civic Wreath ? Who to fill the cup ule chair? • Feast from gold, sweat p . erfaules breathe, And all that honour gives, to share ? • The brave, the brave, the patriot brave, " • Who arms his country's rights to sava. Who deserves the chacc to join? - - Who to dwell in woods serene ? Build h s hut, and Prune his vine, • . And trim' his porch with olives green? Tlie brae, the brave., the - patriot brzlA'e, • 'Who arjiis his Country's rights to save. The rest of Mr. LEFTLEY'S productions possess merit enough•to excitd regiet,that he did not live to•enjoy a,bappier fortune; in which case, as he Was animated by an ardent desire of poetical fame, Ise might haVe 'raised his name in literary annals; and have . afforded much gratification to the ad mirers of Poetry. • Ti.e Second part of this. Worli consists of pro ductions highly creditable to the taste and talents of their Author, Mr. LINLEY.• 'Their were .Ifrit-' ten, as stated,- in India, and during a voyage to that country, and on his return to Englhnd.— The first Poem is entitled OUTWARD Botimr. and the Jgust, UnimEwaap . BOUND.. They are of a de scriptive character , , in which are strong marks•of tendernes and air ardent susceptibility of the chars of natural scenery ; particularly of thd glowing graces which Mark the climate of India, as well as of tile evils whiclr attend it. The whole is- evidently the production of an amiable, mind, evinced, not 0..1y in eq:,sentiments which breathe through the whole, but in the temper of the Au thOr, which induced him to resign a lucrative si tuation in India, in order to enjoy the pleastfre of resid lig in his native country, in the bosom of i nc odship, with moderate-independence, and an uhbroken constitution.

COPENHAGEN' : JULY I I.—lt is known that Norway is provisioned for 18 months ; 'it will not therefore be forced' to ,submit on aceount•of fa mine. The armaments of Sweden ait very con siderable; travellers from. that country assert, that the roads are covered with troops. The CroWn Prince and his Scan were expected at 'l'd derwalla on .the 150. The Norwegians are not in a state of inactivity ; they ,have fol rued thtee . corps d'Arn - ) 6e, two of which ,nrenace Sweden on .the side - of Drontheim and Suinesund ; the third . is to r n emain as a corps : cfobservation. •• EAMBURG-IT, JULY 16.--Two or three thousand Russians, who were in the Dotal , of Lauenberg, have arrived at Altona, and are to be quartered in .Holstein. Another corps of Russian troops of between . 4 - and 6000 men are conning from IV . ag•- deburgh, and are also destined for Hols,tein.-H The Russian troops on the Elbe are all expected to take the same destination. The reason of these movements is not known. The prosperity of 4 our city is rapidly re•est,ah lishing ; the inhabitants are themselves astonished . at the progress, they are making. PARIS, JULY 26—We are. assured, that General Audi eossi is appointed Ambassador to Constanti nople. , The Americans who were at Bourdeanx assem bled on the.4th July, to celebrate the anniversary of their independence. The bast spirit prevailed upon tili;s occasion. THE FIIONTIERS OF NORWAY, JULY 8.---M. ricr, the English Commissioner, lodges at M. Hauthausen's, at Christiania. lli Fi. \vas for merly a General in the Swedish service, and he is now Grand Marshal in the Court of Prince Chris- tian. BERLIN, JULY l G.—The . King has appointed General L'Estocq Governor of Breslow. The Government of Berlin is reserved for Prince Blucher. It has been ascertained that it was *an of the ,name of Silversching who circulated the report that Hanover was to be exchanged fur other countries, and ceded toPrussiO.• He is to be prosecuted. . VIENNA, JULY 15 —lt is said; that the press ing solicitations made by the Senate of Peters burgh have induced the Emperor Alexander to give tip his journey to Vienna. Manion, JULY 1-1.---The re-establishment 'of the Council-Of Indies has given us one tribunal more, but it Will not restore our Colonies. The insurrection in America has assumed SO serious shape, that we cannot hesitate what name to give it. The proVinees of 'Venezuela, Buenos Ayres, 'and several others of great importance,. !have Solemnly proclaimed their independenee.-..L. Thi s example will probably extend to Mexico and Linea„ which still ycmains to us. Such are the melancholy results of our politicaLdiscussions, and of that pretended energy of which each party is now beginning to accuse the other. .‘l 7 e hope timt the system which Ministers 'have adopted will succeed ;, but when we consider the state of the finances, anti the evils of every kind with which we are sorrotinded, we cannot but en tertain apprehensions for the funre. The Northern Prbrinees- are - disturbed. Even in Castile ther4 are malcontents, who have set fire to convents into which the ancient inhabitants were about to return. The capital is tranquil, but that confi dence;.that national attachment to public exhi bitions, and to a certain degree of liberty, has not revived. It is said that an order was sent by the Minister at War at the same time to Valencia and Cadiz, to certain General Officers to take the com mand of the Armies of Generals Elio, Villavieeneie, and O'Donnell, and to cause those officers to be immediately shot. Upon enquiry, however, it appears that his Majesty had not given his assent to this Measure; and a reward has been offered to discover the authors of this order. The English Journals make war upon ►►s : they desire a change.of our Miuistry : but the English " • either dO hOt lin - OV of pretend to be ignorant the fact,--that sueli a change at this tidonlent would be really a revolution in the State. - • Ibis Majesty receives intiltitudei of ac' res.ses telicitat icni. We expect,evciy nioment the notification - of a new Treaty of Peace %vith France. Catalonia is not yet relieved from the state of war and alarm in which it has been Phinged for six year's. Couriers are not reSpected,.and it is not yet safe to•travel'inthat•province. VIENNA, JULY 15.—We are assured here that the Emperor Alexander was induced to go to Pe stersburgh upon the prikssing representations of the Senate, aild that his visit to Vienna is only deferred. The general rit - mtiur is, that the Emperor - of Austr a, and many of the most considerable of the German Princes, are' about to proceed to Italy. It is also said that the German States, which were heretofore Fiefs of Germany, and have been dLtached tro►n it, will again be reunited to the Empire. 016._ Coiirse or Exchange is s.ti!!

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JULY 22.—1 t is cettain that the fate of our country was decided at Paris ; its union with a . neighbouring Nation is no longer doubt ful ; but the froutio;s will not be fixed till the Congresi at 'Vicuna ; it . .seerns not to be deter mined whether kmr frontiers shall extend to the Maese, the Oarthe, or the Rhine. There is much reason to suppose that England wishes to have our frontiers extended to the Rhine. The Governor-General has 'ordered• all our °dicers and soldiers, returned front France; to lay aside the . French uniform bky a certain day, , the military wearing French uniforms now here, far exceeding the garrison in number. It seems quite uncertain when the Congress of Ghent will - he opened, the English Commissioners being none of them ar rived. • STOCKHOLM, JuLy . lB.—We look with impa tience for the result of the mission from the AllieS to Norway. The Swedes have always esteemed .the people of Norway, and eagerly desire their friendship. It would cause y,req joy in the Whole kingdom if those who -misled the - brave people would at length renounce their chimerical and criminal undertaking. "If we shouhl be obliged to enforce our fights by arms, everyone capable of serving Ns - ill be ready to assist in accomplishing the union of the two kingdoms, which will be equally advantageous to bath. Young and old are eager to serve under a beloved Prince, to whoM all urope;and Sweden in particular, owes so much. Even our good Sovereign is resolved to embark-and !;ilare the dangers tot' the naval combat with which the campaign will be : odened, and all the remon strances of his family cannot dissuade him.
