This new Review is published regularly on the last day of
every month. One of its professed objects is, to steer a middle
course between, on the one hand, that severity which, delight-
ing to discover and dwell on imperfection, has its effect us
blighting or discouraging the efforts of genius ; and, on the
other hand, that psrtial report or indiscriminate praise,which in
an equal degree del its the Yost purpose of a Literary Review.
In consequence of its detail of Criticism being wholly confined
to the more important Works in each department of Writing
(inferior Publications being merely registered in the Monthly
List, with brief notices proportionate to their claims), and of
each number containing ten sheen, or 160 pages, a quantity
far exceeding that astir, similar publication, the Editors are
enabkid to bring forward all Account of every interesting Work
very soon after its appearait,e ; an advantage exclusively their
own. And they purpose availing themselves of every oppor.
tunity to introduce notices of other Works of the same descrip.
tam, which have been published daring the last three years, so
that their Journal may be considered as virtually commencing
with the nineteenth century.

farmers, State Prisoners, confined some time back in
Kilmainham Gaol, were liberated.
Yesterday, Mr. PAC. Dunn, And Mr. John Pat-

mainham to Naas Gaol; they arc residents of that
town.

The batteries of Westmorland, Camden, and
Carlisle for the defence of Cork harbour, have been
put in complete order—their ditches have been
deepened, their embrazures new sodded, and many
of their guns mounted on traverse carriages of such
a construaion, that a single man can point the hea.
viest 24 pounder in any named direCtion. They are
manned with a seled detachment of the Royal Ar-
tillery, and one of the garrison battalions, which is
now as expert at the great gun exercise, as if trained
in the praCtice of Woolwich. The new fortress iw
tended on Spike will be a regular hexagon, the area
of which will comprehend nearly half the island.

there prevailed the usual tranquillity in that city,

Friday 1-4,t, in digging under part of the founda-
tion of the Castle of Tidier, the remains of three
human skeletons were found : two of the skulls were
perfect, but the third in pieces. These are suppi sod
to be the bones of Henty Davers (D'Anvers, or
I)avels), Micah (or Meade), two judges, and Ar-
thur Carter (or Charters), camp master of Munster,
who were treacherously murdered in that Castle by
Sir John Desmond, brother to the Earl of Desmond,
in the year 1579, when they :topped in this town on
their return to the Lord Deputy (Sir Henry Sidney)
in Dublin, after delivering a commission from him
to the Earl of Desmond, to join the Royal Forces;
which he refused.

Two more skeletons were dug up from the foun-
dation of this Castle, on Tuesday, supposed to be
the bodies of some of the attendants on the above

Commissioners, who were also murdered by the
partisans of Sir John Desmond, as Raymond, a
Ulack, and others, are particularly mentioned. and
that oily one kith lacquey escaped the slaughter.

HAGUE, MAY 1.
Yesterday evening the Miuister at War, Ber-

Our Minister at War, Fymann, had received orf
ki•n-s from our Gower-m.lmi( to repair thither, to ar-
range with Berthier the p if-Oculars of the expedi-
tion. Before. C.is expediti,,n is undertaken, how-
ever, the French troops, if they should not have to
celebrate an event which will commence a new
epoch in the history of France, will, at least, have
an opportunity to express their wishes, and giv..
their votes in favour of the establishment of an h.-
reditary succession to the Government in the family
of Bonaparte, in the same manner as the Consul-
ship was conferred on him for life ; and many per-
sons believe, that the journey of the Minister of
War, Berthicr, has a relation to this object

pages. In this Mehee, who, under the name of

Intelligence was yesterday received by the Lie.
don Missiiinary society, from the Missionaries at
Qtaheite, brought by a vessel, named the I)art,
is arrived in the river.—Poor Pomarra, the
King, is dead ! While the Dart lay at the island,
he was on a visit, in a canoe, to the ship, whets, on
arriving alonsOde the vessel, he was suddenly seized
with alt of apoplexy, -which obliged his people to
return with him to the Morai, where he speedily
expired. In him the Missionaries have lost a good
; but it appears that they ore under no ap-
prehension for their safety, as the stfcCessor to the
throne has given there assurance of protes'lion:
We wish that we could give a good account of
the success of the Missionaries. With the very belt
intentions, the Society has been in error, with ra-
sps& to the poor inhabitants of Otandte ; and we
have no doubt that they will speedily see, wits us,
that ttviiiiicion, in a savage state of social'', must
precede conversion to Christianity. Suat Is the re-
sult of the unexampled depravity sow 'pri4tised in
that i.lxnd, that the number of its inhabttaias is se-
duced to about seven thousaad !

BOXING.

This day a boring match will be fought between
PITTONI'S late seci,nd at Welsden Green, and
B•LDMIN, a well-known bruiser. From
the skill possessec' by these combatants, the pugi-
listic artists and amateurs promise themselves a
spe&acle of the most scientific contest witnessed
since the battle between Blu BEN and JOHNSON.

Finch ley Common k the scene of ;talon ; and, if
the arrival of Police Officers does not derange the
plan, the battle will commence at ten o'clock pre-
cisely. Bets were List night two to one in favour
of BALowiff, who is considered the best min in
science ; but, as both are equally matched in point
of strength and stature, the result is considered very
doubtful. This fight will probably produce anodic;
between Maonox and the Ciuolen.

The Drake critter, arrived at Yarmouth, left our
blockading squadron off Hushing, last Sunday, all
well. They entertained strong hopes that the ene-
my's flotilla there would soon attempt to put to s:a,
as great adlivity and bustle have be►n recently ob-
served among the slipping in that harbour.
The report of die capture of a French ship of !()
guns, off Havre, proves to be unfounded. The
firing in that quarter, it is row ascertained, seas oc-
casioned by a most gallant .aCtion between the Merlin
sloop, Captain BannTou, and a sqnadron of nearly
one hundred of the enemy's gun-boats. She fought
them all in about three fathoms of water ; and, not.
withstanding every possible exertio.', they could
make no imprnsion on her. The cannonade kept
up on both sides lasted three hours, and was tre.
mendous.

Last Monday, one of the privates belonging to
the St. Margaiet's and St. John's Volunteers, while
attending a tield-daa. in Hyde-Park, was ordered in-
to custody, for telusing to tSill into the ranks. He
was marched in custody to Welmin ter-Hall, where
he remai•led a prisoner tilt tine arrival of the corps,
when he was severely r.:primtoded by Cul. Erna,
in the presence of the wlia;le corps.

On Saturday evening, in Gateshead, Newcmt!e,
two female paupers havinir Inarteled, one cha•med
the other with stealing 3 tine in de child, which she
had in her arm., about sex mends, old; from York.
The populace immediately took part on behalf if
the infant, and were proceeding to rescue it born
her, when the inhuman wretch ism towards the
bridge, and attempted to throw it over, but was for-
tunately prevented by ;a woman, who caught its
clothes. The two women were taken before a Jus-
tice, and ordered into confinement. The child WAS
takencare of. On Monday, the parties were exa-
mined; when the woman, who made the charge,
confirmed it by her oath ; in consequence of which,
the depeedato is to tale her trial at the ensuing as-
sizes.

FETE AT BERRY HEAD, DEVON.

On Saturday last a splendid entertainment was
given by Lieut. Col. Andrews, of the 2d Somerset
Militia, to the families residing in the vicinity of
Torbay, and to the Officers cf several military
corps quartered in the environs. The situation of
Berry-Head Cliff, projeSing upon the sea, com-
manding also an extensive and beautifully variest
view of the shores of the neighbouring bay, renders
it peculiarly adapted for a Fete of the description
given on this occasion.
By two o'cluck, nearly the whole of the beauty
and fashion that could be collated in the surrotind-
ing country were assembled. They were received
by the detachment of the 2d Somerset quartered
in the barracks, and the band of the regiment. with
military parade. The company, having promenaded
the Cliff, and admired the romantic scenery srread
on every side of this elevated situation, which thz
concurrence of Ene weather rendered enchanting
in the extreme, were at length condOled by their
polite host to a magnificent marquee, formed by
the tents of four officers thrown into one; under
which was arranged a sumptuous banquet, consiu-
ing of a profusion of cold viands, not omiuing
any de:icacy of the season, with the choicest French
wines. A service of elegant plate was displayed

The follou iue account may be depended on as
authentic

Some years ago, a negotiation took place between
the Poet and certain Agents of Administration. At
the beginning of the conference, it was mentioned
that an annual pension should be given Isimfor lite-
rary assistance in favour of Government. To this
the Bard objeded, and insisted that mere silence
should be the condition of the obligation. It was
at last agreed to, and the Bard bound his pen over
to its good behaviour in future ; when, after a lapse
of three months, hearing some discontent relative
to his literary inadivity, he expressed his surprise,
and desired to have an r.zplicit answer. whether it
was expeded that he, the Bard, should employ his
pen? For this purpose he waited upon one of tha
Gentlemen, who, toll:don reeks, informed the Poet,
that " he must deserve well of Administration if he
would have the reward." The Poet, finding him-
self over-reached, quitted the room in disgust, seceded
immediately ; refused to accept the quarter's salaiv
that was due; and returned the ten pounds which
he had taken up on account. This, we sanderstar.d,

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS—THvitsoAr, JuLT ?6.

The Insolvent Debtors' Bill was read the third
time; passed, and sent to the Commons tor their
eon( urrence.
The Corn Bill was brought up Item the Com-
mons by Mr. WESTERN and others, and read the
first time. . . .

Lord HAWK EfiBURY moved that it be printed,
and read the second time to-morrow.
Earl STANHOPE said, the Noble Secretary of
State had, on a former night, expressed a wish that
Noble Lords woul,i, instead of arguing on ab-
stract principles, propose some regular system on
the Corn Laws. He had since drawn up three Re-
solutions, containing a regular system on that sub-
let%) which he intended to submit to the House be-
tore the debate on the Bill.
Lord HAW KESBIJ RY said, as the Session was
so far advanced, he hoped the House would hare no
objection to meet-to-morrow an hour sooner than
usual.
Earl STANHOPE objected to this, on the
ground that Noble Lords were used to ripe& that
no business of importance would be discussed before
five o'clock ; and it might happen, that Noble
Lords might come down and find the debate over.
He therefore hoped, the Noble Lord would he con-
tent to eat his dinner an hour later.
the LORD CHANCELLOR, having left the
Woolsack, said it might not be known to the Noble
Earl, that, early in the Session, it was agreed to
commence business at half-past four o'cl,,ck ; and,
therefore, his with was anticipated.
Ear TANHOPE said he WAS glad to find that
half-past four, and four o'clock were the same thing.
However, that his propositions might he beard by
as many of their Lordships as pleased to attend ;
he bad no objedion to make his resolutions the se-
cond dish instead of the first ; and therefore he
should bring torward his propositions immediately
after, instead of before, the debate on the second
reading of the Bill
Adjourned to to-morrow.

" It appearing that the first and second part of the
charge is not proved, the Court does therefore ac-
quit the Prisoner on both those charges. Respeft-
ang the third part of :he charges4viz. " For having,
on vr about the 2etii of March last, challenged his
s 'psi iur Oilicer, Captain Lieutenant Bade, on the

improper conduit, when at the Playhouse, a few
evenings before, and tor having concluded himself
with ;peat impropriety in the Thiesseye, during the

The Court is of opinion, that though tbeiltarge of
the Prisoner's having absolutely ohaslenged Captain
Lieutenant Rails is not positively establitfied, yet
the Court cannot but consider'. that the Prisoner's
address to Captain Lieutenant iftaile, 'on the Marine
Parade, is highly improper and censurable; and does
adjudge the-Prisoner to be every reprimanded by
the l'r tsiden:. in open Court. fur haring express-d

MR. 'WILLIAM READ.

Last Monday a Coroner's Imitti•st was held at
the Duke's Head Public Hone, at Putney, by Mr.
GEM mu a r, on the body of Nlr William R. id, of the
House of Phene and Reid, in Watling-street, Arno
was drowned the preceding day while ha•hing in 'he
River "Chani..s. Atter a short ezamin.tion, the
Jury brought ill a verdift of Ardente' Dee:lt. The
foilawing particulars were proved upon the inquest :
On Sznday afternoon, Mr. Reid, its company with
an intimate friend, a Mr. B. after spending the day
together ..t Putney, went out in a boat upon the
Thames, that Mr. Reid might bathe He had lict
been in the water two minutes, when he called to his
friend for aid, which he endeavoured to render him,
but could not row the boat to him in time to pre-
vent his sinking. He floated out into the stream,
where a gentleman from a pleasure boat seized him
by the hair, which, dreadful to relate, gave way,
and he sunk a second time; as soon as he rose, an-
other person attempted to seize him, but, alas ! in
vain. for he sunk into the arms of death. Every
ezettion that humanity could suggest was usea for
the recovery of the body, which was found in about
three quarters of an hour. The means recommend-
ed by the Humane Society were persevered in for
three hours, without success.
This unfortunate gentleman was well known in
London, both for his uprightness and abilities as a
tradesman, and for his candour and simplicity as a
man. Among hi, friends and a numerous acquaint-
ance, his untimely loss will be deeply felt ; possess.
ing a heart uncontaminated by the customs of the
world, l,e was sincere, his attachments were lasting,
and his friendship as valuable as it was unalterable.

Wilton Saint Giles's Great Sheep Fair was held
on Wednasdaz last. A very large fair was expeEled,
and Mr. H. k oar), the rester of the fair, had been
indefatigable in his exertions to procure suitable ac.
commodations ; yet, notwithstanding these previous
arrangements, there did not appear sufficient pens
for all who brought Sheep there. The number pen-
ned amounted, however, to 58,000, and this large
number met a brisk sale. The average prices were
full4s. per head dearer than at the last Britford Fair.
The greatest demand appeared for South-Down
Lambs, which were eagerly bought up. A Mr.
Honsow obtained the high price of 255. Gd. for 500
South-Down Ewe Lambs. Mess.Pottas,WllAtr and
SPARKS, purchased at least 12,000. Mr. ARTHUR
Mast was offered ten guineas for one of his beauti-
ful new Leicester Hams for the season, which he
declined.—There were but very few good Horses
shewn for sale, and those sold at very high prices.
—There was a large quantity of new Cheese at the
fair, and nearly forty toes remained unsold. The
average pr ices were, thin new Cheese from .14.5. to
stis. per cwt. old tlitto (of which there was but a
slical supply), from 71s. to 80s. per cwt.
At Brampton lair on Wednesday, there was a
very indifferent chew of neat Cattle, which went off
heavily and at low prices; but by far the greater
portion was driven home unsold.—Of Swine and
Sheep there was a great variety, and they sold

heaviest =tides of expense. We recollet that,
after the death of Catherioe 11., the Porte tc.:eived
the Dews fiv.: days before the Russian Ambassador ;
and that it was the Prince of Moldavia who com-
municated it.

It is easy to perceive, that the Princes, by the
means of this correspondence, and their private in-
toi'arstion at Constantinople, acquire a necessary in-
fluence over the opinion and determinatiiiiis of he
Divan ; and that Russia, making them to re. all up"
the Turkish Government, the power by which sae
influences the two Princes, encreases and consolidates
her ascendancy, and perpetuates the state of depen-
dence in which she keeps the Ottoman ',rte.

The Russian Consulat-General at rosy is ano-
ther instrument, by means of which that Govern-
ment extends over this country the bonds of its in.
verci snty. The Consul-General displays there the
repre' eatation of Minister. The number of his
exceeds 4,000; of whom, a very small
part are native Russians.
By one of the Articles of the last Treaty, the in-
habitants of the country were allowed 15 months to
pass under the dominion of Russia. Advantage
wa, tak:n of this circumstance, to draw over all
Rayas of any importance, and even the Boy-
ards. After the expiration of so long a term, the
praaice of acquiring now subjetts has not been yet
discontinued. It is sufficient that the kayas (not Mol-
davian') should make a journey to one of the cities of
Russian Poland, and assume there a Russian title.
They enter as a matter of right, upon their return,
under the prote:lion of the Consul-General, with-
our opposition or observation upon the part of the
Prince. All the great merchants are under the
!taisian prote&ion, which they always seek, on ac-
count of the obsequious deference paid to the agent
of that power, and of the favour which those enjoy
who trade tinder its banner. The inferior merchants,
who are not raatriculated with the Commissary-
General, give themselves out as attached to the
proreaed merchants. Iv this quality they receive
Russian pas:ports, and crjny an implicit protection.

setsions, the Province of Holland deprived him pro•
visionally of the title of Captain General over that
part of the Republic.
The different prerogatives which distinguished
the Dutch Provinces having disappeared, it would
be easy at present to give them a common Chief ;
or rather, it would he very difficult, if once a Chiel
were established in the Republic, that he should not
be recognised by the whole Republic. The choice
might fall so much the more easily upon the Prince
of Nassau, as it could not be considered as an effect
of force employed to re-establish the House of
Orange in the rights which the Dutch have never
viewed as tho,e of a Sovereign. Besides, such a
choice would have the advantage of recalling to the
Dutch nation brilliant recollations and exploits, of
which it may boast, even though two centuries are
elapsed, as well as the illustrious I louse which has
had so great a share in them.

among many thousands, condemned to the galleys
for life, and whose health is supposed strong enough
to be able to support these unhealthy undertak-
ings. To encourage them to work, the Emperor
has promised, by the lari:ime Prefeti, all those who
are inditstri,ins, and .s;l:vier, in tan year hence, to
be pardoned, on condition of being transported to
the coin:lies fur the remainder of their days.

The auxiliary troops of the Italian Republic arc
in garri,on at Calais, where they are daily exercised
by French officers. In a short time they will be as
peifea as our own. All discontent among them-
selves, and disagreements with our troops, have
ceased. The deserters have returned to their duty,
and given up their seducers, who, to the shame of
their religion, were the chaplains of their regiments,
who deserved capital punishment, but which his
Majesty our Emperor graciously changed into trans-
portation to the Roman States, where they are to
do penance in convents tqr the rem tinder of their
days. The Italian troops obs-rve now the striaost
disciplipe, and the inhabitants of Calais speak highly
of their condua.—(Gazette de Franer ).

The Russian Emperor has ordered a new regi-
ment to he raised, called the Dragoons of the Police.
The Men are to be chosen from among the veterans,
who :ire most distinguished for their sobriety and
valour. They must all understand how to write
and read ; upon the whole, the,c Dragoons may h,
called the ltuisiaa Gras their situation
and employment being nearly the same with those

Marriages increase in proportion as divorces de-
crease, which may convince our speculative philo-
sophers and metaphysicians, that their calculations
concerning the happiness ri civil society ave as erro-
neous in this case as in many others. Their maxim;
(unfortunately for France. converted into laws by
the National. Convention, the most intmnral, cruel-
and ignorant of all her natioaal asseinShes) of per-
mitting full liberty for e..er! one to divorce, even
for a momentary disagreement of temper, have made
more prostitutes and uastard. Fra.,ce, during the
ten last years, than t..e depravity of the ten prec.N.l-
- centuries. Among the wretches perishing in
our streets by Avant or disease, who offer their faded
charms to drunkards or libertines, of twelve, eight
are divorced women; and of orphans begging by
our doors, crowding our hospitals, prisons, or scaf-
folds, ninety of an hunlre I are children neglefted,
or by divorced parents. and therefore owe their mi-
sery and guilt to the former infamous laws of di-
vorce.—(Juxnad Para'.)
