All the civilized nations. of Europe had. for centuries past, been rendered illustrious for their genius in the Fine Arts,. while Englaad,'Where'tfie'ferVeur of Poetic fancy, as displayed by Chaucer, Spencer, Shalsspeare, Milton, Dryden, &c. rivalled the Poetic renown of Greece itself, had not rOilited .s single instance of superior talent in .Painting or Sculpture. But their gradual progress during the present Reign, up to an advanced state of stexcelleuce, sufficiently strews 'that uncon genial fortuitous circumstances, and not deficiency in the powers of imagination, prevented their nurture in England. Front the accession of his Majesty to the present period, the public attention to Painting, Sculpture, and Engraving, has been gradually increasing, an the iutroductiosr of the Elgin Marbles into this country, followed by the • scrutiny of the House of Cumulous into their merits, its purchase of them for the nation, together with the seizure and surrender by France, of the great works of the celebrated Masters of the Continent, have, in England, excited a deeper and more ge neral regard for the elegant Arts,than has ever yet prevailed. It is this more general and - intense regard for works of Art, together with the just admiration excited by the . skill and courage of our troops in their late defeats of the French, that has elicited the publication of a Series of Medals, illus trative of those national events. The novelty of the work in this country,- has alio been another motive for their produc tion. In the time of Cromwell and Charles 11., Simon, an ' English Artist, engraved Medals in a style nut very remote from the pertectien of the Greeks. Since that time, Medal Engravingbas had but a faint existence in England. A few Nledals of individual persons 01 circumstances, and of talent inferior to Italian or French Art, have been st nck ; but no thing of general mument—nothing that celebrates the power ur grandeur of the British Empire—nothing that viorates on the heart with emulative and patriotic effect, or fixes with delight the tasteful eye—nothing, in tine, worthy of the ; majesty and the renown of the British People, and of the beauty and dignity of Art,'has - ever yet • appeared from an English Mint, during a long period of English glory, in al most every excellence that adorns, ennobles, and immortalizes a nation. The present series of Medals, therefore, while it is a commencement of that new speciei of publication which records with elegance and. unequalled durability subjects every way worthy of commemoration, will, it is trusted, re commend itself to every lover of the Fine Arts, and to every species of Politicians; to those who have been friendly, and those who have been adversu , to those measures of Govern ment, which resulted in the captivity of Buotraparte„ and the occupation of Paris by the Allies ; for British persevinance, talent, and bravery, must be equaly admired by all. Mr. Mudic, the Director and Proprietor ot the Series, is therefore confident that every class of his Countrymen will hail a work which will child' the cabinet of the Amateur with a class of Art but little known in this country, and that will deliver down to their posterity to remote ages, and in the most lasting of materials, an elegant and energetic re cord of so glorions a feature of its Character. Paintings, exquisite and impressive as they an, are comparatively but partial and perishable memorials; ter they cal be se: n hut its few places, and are obnoxious to the lading and destruc tive influence of the elements. Marble statues, too, are more liable than Medals to accidents, and are, like pictures, sta tionary in a few places. But the same subject in Medals, from their smallness, the infrangible nature of their mate rial; and t heir cheapness, may be conveyed in numeroas im pressions to every part of the empire, and the admirers of one identical work of Art be at the same time antipodes to each other. - - Thernarble group, erected in .I..oadon, can Pa,' viewed only by the visitor or tc4ideht there, but duplicated impressions of Medals can be seen in numerous places at once, by the inhallitatits of Europe and India, by the soldier who is guarding Napoleon in Saint Helena, and those in London who sent or continue -him there. There is then but one circumstance in the nature of the work of which the Proprietor thinks it necessary to be particular in explain ing : it is the employing of foreign Artists to engra ve a ra tion of the Medals. This he was compelled to do, in order to confer the greatest perfection in the metallic records of incidents so highly deserving of that perfect representation. Much as our native Artists excel in every other branch of the Fine'Arts, equalling, and in many respects exceeding foreign Artists, they have not yet reached the delicacy, precision, and finish of the French and Italian Medallists. This is by no means attributable to any deficiency whatever in the native capabilities of Englishmen. The inbred vigour of their powers, if duly cherished, is competent to the highest at tainments in this and every other Art, or they would • not have rivalled the finest geniuses of antiquity in the sister Art of }Poetry, or have approached antique perfection in the works of their own native Medallist, Simon. There are, however, - several of our countrymen who have great and growing talents in Medal engraving. These talents shall have a share in illustrating the deeds of their brave Country men represented in the Series; so that the proprietor will as sist, to the utmost of his power, to unfold their latent ener gies to a degree that will altogether supersede the necessity of foreign aid. Opportunity only can be wanting to open, to British genius all the paths of intellectual glory. The Medals may be hail of Mr. Whiteaves, No. 30, tFleet street ; Mr. Young, 46, High Holborn; Messrs.

The design on this reverse is peculiarly appropriate to the general subject of the Medals, as this College is very justly acknowledged to be one of the best nurseries of that military excellence which has conducted the British arms to its present zenith of glory, under the able superintendence of 'the Conunauder-in-Chief. • • No. 4. GENERAL ABERCROMBY. Obierse.—Bust of Lieutenant-General Sir R. Abercromby.

Both the, obverse and the reverse are of masterly execution. The horse is of that. noble species, of that high metal, which is • alone. worthy of typifying the character of the brave army which performed those exploits in Egypt which must ever live in military re nown. He receives a momentary impression, ,but is so far from retreating, that he makes good his stand. The Bust is an extraordinary specimen of - medallic engraving of nearly a front view. Its drawing, its likeness, its fleshiness and neatness, .place the English Artist (Webb) among the very first of modern medallists in the class of busts. t No. h. DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

In the distunecard the Pyrenean mountains, which divide Spain and Portugal. They are also indicated by two pillars. The figures are peculiarly graceful and aniiintted,' and the allegory is ex plicit. The objects relieve with distinctness, the outline is sharp, and all the forms are accurately understood and ren dered. No. 6. DUKE. OF WELLINGTON. Obverse.-,:liad of the. Duke.

On the faeevf the Medal is Marked " Declaration of the Congress of Vienna." On the exergue is the date of the Declaration, " 13th March." The composition of this Medal is exquisite. It has been remarked by a Critic on Art, that it resembles some . of No, celebrated painter Claude Lorraine, where an elegant edifice in the fore ground, and a distant offscape, arc surrounded by a large portion of atmosphere. The execution of-this obverse by Brenet, is worthy of the eclat of his talents in the accaracy and beauty of the forms, the neatness and spirit of the out line, and in the truth of the aerial and linear perspective.
