It men became the sole property of an individual too independ ent to beMoVed by dish'onourable influence. • • 1-le has already laboured with success to remove the'politi cal and religious stigma- which, whether deservedly or not, had liing ialiered t o this Publication; and now pledges him self to continue his most strenuous support to the civil and religious 'lnstitutions of his Country ; in doing which, and in rescuing his Review from all external, influence, he believeS himselltodischarge a duty of some importance to;Society, and of the greatest importance to. Literature. • . .• In the commencement . of his. undertaking he refrained front making Promises to the Public which would now be justified by_the strength of talent which daily presents itself in aid of his exertions from Men diStinguished by their rank in Society as well as in' Literature. Elevated by this flatter ing and honourable co-operation, he is . not under the usual temptations to accept of gross satires . or calumnies—the peri odical aliMent of, impotent malignity—for the entertainment ,of indolent readers, who must be roused by cruelty, like sportsmen in the chace, to feel and enjoy their useless ex. istence.. The reader must therefore understand, that in the Critical Review it is not intended. to amuse him with the torture or crucifixion of: genius.' Talents ill-treated have ever become interesting, antl*the Proprietor hopes always to bear in mind the sentiments of the great Milton, " As good almost kill a man as kill a good book. Who kills a,man, kills a reasonable creature, God's image ; but he who destroys a good book kills reason . itself; kills the image of God as it were, in the eye ; 'slays an immortality rather than a life." Eurthough he will,be 4Ssiduously careful not to repress the exertions of genius, of to damp the . wing of fancy, their eccentricities must yet be marked, and all - false pretensions to merit and fame shall be Combated with the weapons of argument and ridicule ; just stigmas of degradation, shall se parate scioliSts from philosophers, pedants from scholars, poetasters from poets, fanatics from divines, and visionaries from patriots. • ' N.B. 'A few complete Sets of the Critical Reyiew, sinee,it hai been in'the hand's of the present Proprietor, may still be had at Mr. Mawman's, zz, ouliri, (.4' which p lace all com munications must bc.4ll446sed.—Londim, Jan. r, 1806.

LONDON, WF,'DNESI)AY, JANUARY 15, 1806. French and- „Dutch Papers, the former of as late a date as the 9th instant, have reached Town ; but they are„ we understand, uncommonly bar ren of intelligence. It- appears from• the Thirty eighth Bulletin .of-the -Grand Army, that it re mains in nearly the same position that it occu pied after the Battle of Austerlitz, in Moravia and Bohemia. The Negotiations fOr Peace between Austria and France have been brought to a con, elusion Treaty of Peace was signed at Presburg on the 27th ult. but we understand that BONAPARfE would not suffer the Terms to transpire, in order that the Allied Powers might bp kept in a state of ignorance and uncertainty. - It is' alp stated, that BODTAr A RTE had declared his intention not tq return to Paris until he had concluded his operations against Hanover. It does not appear, we under stand, from the French Papers, that AUGEREAU had advanced with so much rapidity towards Hanover as was expe&ed; his Army was, according to the last accounts, in Suabia. IT is with much pleasure • we inform the Public that Mr. PITT, according to the unanimous report of his Physicians, is in no danger, though we are concerned to add, that it is not likely he will be able . to attend his duty on the meeting of. Parliament. WHETHER Mr. PITT Will be able to attend h 4 duty on the opening of Parliament, -is more than we can say in the present critical state of his health, as we yesterday - observed ; - but we can venture to -af firm, 'that if he should unavoidably be kept froM his post, : his absence will be a source of greater . anxiety'to hut than to his opponents. They will have it in their power to advance what they please, and to introduce topics which they would be reluet ant to touch upon if they had his eloquence and force of:argument to encountF. They will also have an opportunity of charging upon , him &cry . disastrous event which has occurred on the Conti nent. The melancholy consequences of a success less War, and all the disgracefulk prospeas of a' . patched up Peace, will be imputed to him. If Prussia declined to interpose,' at a moment when she might have turned the scale against a triumphant: Usurper, and secured the independence of the lized World, her refusal will be charged upon Mr. PITT, though he has done all in his power to make her sensible of what Was -due to herself and to in sulted Europe. If Russia has retired with her Forces from an Ally who hastily' engaged in an Armistice, / when it 'might have rallied with success, Mr. PITT will\ perhaps, be doomed to bear the weight Of Op•- position reproach, though Russia willingly lent her powerful aid to the general Cause from a.,high sense of what it owed to every State menaced by French ambition, and never would have quit ted the field if it had not been driven away, in effe&, by the precipitation of the EMPEROR of GER MANY. But though so tempting an opportunity will occur to Mr. PITT'S Political Adversaries, in case his • indisposition should disqualify hiM from attendance at the Meeting of Parliament, there will be no Want of ability to justify his conduit—a' condua; indeed, that demands no justification, except against the falSe colouring which Party may attempt to, throw upon it, Faas are, according to the honiely phrase, stubborn things, and as ,his friends will : be able •to urge those stubborn things in his favour, lie may rely 4 . Upon the good sense, candour, and patriotism of the Representative Body, and bid defiance to all the at tacks of personal enmity; Party violence, and in terested ambition. Yesterday morning HisMAJESTY, the PRINCESSES AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, took their usual ride on horseback in Windsor Park; PRINCESS MARY followed in a carriage. • HER MAJESTY and PRINCESS ELIZABETH' took an airing to Frogmore. Yesterday the Countess of HARRINGTON arrived in towrr•from 'Windsor. . , The ROYAL FAMILY cane to town to-day, It is expeEtecl titS MAJESTY will hold a Privy Council to-morrow. Yesterday the liplc.E of YORK held a public 'day at his Office, and, saw a number of Officers. • The demur in the way of Mr. fIIELLUSSON s pro gress to a Peer* . 4s furnished a theme for the Opposition witlings. They •admit, however, that he has wealth enbUgh to do credit to . the dignity, and that might be Ihbught by the party wags the sine qua non. On. Saturday last a woman stole a child in Kent street, in the Bor=ough.' The child was found some hours afterwards., wandering about near the Market, stripped almost naked. Tile mother, who had just been brought to bed, upOtt hearing the loss of the child, jumped out of bed, and ran about the house in a distraEted p i iatiner, WheA;by she has received so much injw - y tyt it i$ thoni;ht she cannot recover.

Lieutenant Ignacio G'uosquez, with thirty men, piereed for fourteen guns, but only four brass swivels mounted. She is 4 very fine vessel, copper, ed qncl copper-fastened, well found, and sails fast ; left Cadiz on the 9th of August, had delivered. patches at Carnana, and was bound, with others, to Trinidad de Cuba at d Vera Cruz, which were throwp overboard.

SIR, I am to request you to acquaint the Lords Com• misioners of the Admiralty, that I have received a Letter from Captain IVlacdonnell, of the Franchise, informing me of the boats of that Ship having cap:, tared the General Ferran& Felucca Privateer, of one six-ponnder, two four-pounder swivels, y musqUetry-, &c. belonging to Santo D om i ngo .

Lords • 'Commissioners of the Admiralty, the Copy of a Letter, I have received from Capt. Wright, of the Swift, - enclosing' . a Letter from 'Lieutenant Smith, of that 'Sloop, acquainting him with the ,success of an enterprize condu&ed with great bra. ! very, which reflects great credit on the party en gaged in it, particularly Mr:. Bowler, who has not been two years at sea.—i am; &c. • • (Signed) • J. R. DACRES. Inns Majesiy's Sloop Swift, Port Royal, Ottubct• 27,'1805. • In consequence of hiformation I received while on my station at Honduras, that a Sbhooner Guarda Costa had taken several Vessels trading to that Set treinelit, and; if not captured, was likely to do much more - mischief, I was determined to detach Mr. Jarries Smith, Second Lieutenant of the Ship I commanded, *ith a party of men, to see what could be:effeded; and t take the honoUr to refer you to a perusal of his Letter to me for an account of his success, which, ,for execution and bravery, has been. acknowledged to bid fair for prOtedion and countenance. La Caridad Perfeaa is a very fine new Vessel, and, in my opinion, every way fit for His Ma jesty's service. I remain, Sir, &c. J. WRIGHT.. To Rear-Admiral Dacrd, &c.&c. &c. Mariamne Schooner, Mize, Sept. 4, 1805, SIR, I beg leave to acquaint you,, that, iu pursuance of 'your orders, I proceeded with the Schooner. you placed under my command to the Southward; and, while cruizing on that station, and off the Island of Bonacca, received information, from the Caribbean Fishermen, that a Guarda Costa was at anchor under the' batteries of Truxillo, and that she had lately captured and carried into that port the Schooner - Admiral Duckworth, of Jamaica,. with another Vessel, name unknown, from Hon- duras ; I therefore maturely considered, the incalcu lable injury such a Vessel might cause 'to the Settle ment, and conceiVing it a duty incumbent ork my self to prevent, if possible, further depredations, summoned the people • aft, and, on my stating the case to them, they very readily volunteered to make an attempt to cut her. out. Accordingly, on the evening of the 13th ult. I stood over, under cove); of the night, tbr the harbour. of Truxillo, and got weli into the Bay, without being discovered, when I manned two small Boats, with six men in each, un, der charge of Mr. 'Walker, Boatswain, in the one, .and Mr. Bowler, Midshipman, in the other, with reetions to pull in close along shore, and examine if our information. was correct, standing in at the same time with the Schooner;to cover the Boats, if occasion required. Shortly after we got in sight of the Vessel we i:icre in 'pursuit of, which was im mediately boarded with great bravery by the Boat's Crew, under charge of Mr. Bowler (the other from pulling heavy, not being able to get up), and, after some resistance f rom the people' on deck, they. very gallantly got possession of her, the Captain and others jumping overboard. The noise this . conteA occa sioned alarmed the Forts, which opened on us a very heavy tire. The cables' were then cut, and.- sail made,' the Forts keeping a continual fire on us till out of gun-shot, which was returned from both. Vessels. She proves to be La Caridad Perfeeta,. schooner-rigged, copper-bottomed, and pierced for sixteen guns, but mounted only with twelve, and . had on board but fifteen men, the remainder of her complement being on shore at the time. • I am happy to add, that in performing this ser vice no person has been hurt. I have the honour to be, &C. (Signed) JAMES SMITH - . To John li/right, Esq. commanding His Majesty's Ship Swift, Honduras.
