THE LEARNED LANGUAGES.

A Weekly Publication, which has dealt largely
in the Billingsgate language, and almost exhausted
all its fl ,were and beauties, has commenced a Series
of Letters upon the Learned Languages. To
prove the competence of the Writer to the task, we
selelt the following pas,. 'gm from No. 7, published
Satue fay, Feb. the 21st last:—
„ The difference between you an i /, Mr. Cob-
hen, is this, you say the Latin and Greek is a bar-
barous jargon, or at least, your words seem fully w
import this, and if you ever deny it, alter what you
have said, I shall certainly take it as a coniession.
that you are worsted in the argument."
I beg leave just to add. the great Cato, for
many years of his life, opposed with equ..l rigour,
every foreign innovation ; he reprobated, in the
strongest terms. not only the manners, bin also the
language of the Greeks; yet hr was compelled to
acknowledge the great edventege which mitn of
infissitely less genius seemed to enjoy, from their
knowledge of the language of that people ; so, in
order to improve that eloquence, by which he in-
tended to peeve. t its inteoduction. he himself, in
his grand climaeler c, sat down to study Greek, of
which he soon became a great proficieni, and. e bar
was lee. to be expelled. a most entlersiastic a Irturer ;
a .d, Mr Coburn, it you will, like Cato. ie me-
diately heerla tie study of he I win. appropri itieg
an iICU" ...very day, without f.,•sentesesora, or,it you
please, excepting Sundae, bnth tor r. ligion and re•
lax awn, only for the s space of two years, and
one year more of the seine ceestant application to
the Gre •k, you will then, like Carn. b abl to fight
the sei•disiws• i h weapons of their owl,
fashion, but ()liar superior else and temper."
This is the first time we have b. en Cato Valor,
translated" the Lira,' ere.," from which we con-
. cluue, that the Gentleman who reossmmends tee
study of the Greek ant' Latin to Mr. Cobbett, is as
;goo, ant nt t ,e Learned 1., 117UageS as Mr. Cnbhett
him. It. His knowledi,e of the English lan-
Auer. h.wever, we presume, will not be diseuted

It is now enificketly ascertained. that a Pad
understanding subsisted between the Courts of
Copenhagen and London, previous to the arrival
of the British lea at the Sound, although the sub-
jects of both canines were unacquainted with this
important circumstance. A person was dispatched
to Copenhagen, an the first intimation of the fleet's
approaching the Danish traitor?, from the for-
tress of Cronberg, for instralions how to ati : the
answer was, that the British Beet must pass unmo-
lested. Admiral Gambier, in the Niue, if Wales,
brought up of the Coll, in the afternoon or even-
ing ; and the following morals", weighed, with a
fine breeze, and in a short deseke go his anchor
within musket shot of the Castle of Croneerg. with
twelve sail of the line, besides she flarship, end
eleven vessels of war of inferior force. The shore
was crowded with spalators. The Admirel fired a
gun: this was the moment of anxiety and suspense
In the extreme, as the Danes would have it the gun
was 'duetted, and they expelled every instant that
it would be returned in a hostile way by the gar-
, rison ; the while, however, ended in s salsa of 15
guns from the British fleet, which was warned by
sine of 17 from !he fort. This friendly termina-
' tion of the above business appeared to be highly
satisfaaory to the Danes. Amongst the spedators,
however. was a French gentleman, who seemed
greatly chagrined he said to an acquaintance,
who stood near hint, with a sasses Se, year

Frenchman, jest ewe She water." Before the gen-
. denten, who witsiesuid these circumstances. left
Denmark, (about three weeks ago), the Great Man
had intimated to the Danes, that they had nothing
to do with the Continent—Providence having clearly
d fined their boundaries by the Bette.

LING OF' SWEDEN.

Little information c.iii be Alf ,rded of this charac-
ter. His impetuosity of temper, it is justly feared,
augurs small advantage to the cause in which he is
engaged. His charader. it would seem, is form-
ing on the model of his renowned ancestor, Charles
XII. justly termed by our excellent poet, Thomson,
" The frantic Alexander of the North."—Let us
hope, however, that his career will have a very dif-
ferent termination; he is quite a soldier, and seems
ready to brave the hardships of a military life.—ln
his condua, he is arbitrary, consistent with the na-
ture of the Swedish Constitution : a single anecdote
will stAciently illustrate this last circumstance.
One of his attendants (and who it would seem was
a person of consequence) having offended him, the
King, without the least ceremony, knocked him
down: this instantly produced a sort of menace from
the suffering offender, intimating that the insult would
not ►e forgotten: the haughty Monarch, finding he
bad carried matters too far, WAS fain to offer a sooth-
ing apology.
EMPEROR OF RIISSIA.

From the first intimation of the Emperor of Rut-
eia's intention to join his army, the consequences
which followed that step were foreseen by many.
It is well known that there is a powerful French
Party in hi: capital, who are incessantly occupied
in promoting the views and objells of Bonaparte ;
these too are not ignorant of the real chars ter of
Alexander, any more than his own senate, who ap-
pear to have been suffieiently aware, that his too
easy temper and convivial habits might make him
the dupe of French artifice, and lead him to sacri-
fice the interests of his empire by a dishonourable
and disadvantageous peace ; and therefore they sent
a positive injuntlion to General Bennigsen, either
to lose the battle of Freydland, or retreat in the
event of his gaining it. In either case, the senate
expelled to have secured the object of peace, without
sacrificing the interests of their commerce: Ben-
nigsen did lose the battle, but his master com-
pletely Disappointed the intentions of the senate. A
gentleman of the first respellability told our inform-
ant, that he heard a French officer declare, that if
the Russian and Prussian armies had stood firm for
two hr,urs longer in the last engagement, the French
must have unavoidably given way; this however could
not be expected ; the fixed hatred and jealousy the
Russians and Prussians bear to, and have of, each
other, must, on every such occasion, necessarily
tend to their disunion and discomfiture. Every
thinking man who has visited, and who is acquaint-
ed with the real state of the Continent, is convinced
that the operation of these destrultive principles, in
combination with the ignorance and treachery in
their cabinets and in the field, and their very gene.
rai degradation, both moral and political, must
render most, if not the whole, of the Continental
States, in succession, and at no very distant period,
an easy prey to the superior tactics, commanding
irfluence, en! unbounded ambition of France.

GL4OOUW. Avevirr 29.

On Wednesday last, Psi., alias Willie?*
Afros. slater, was convicted before the Magigrates
of wilfully breaking one of the public lamps of the
city in the night note, and sentenced to pay the mi.
ttgated statutary penalty of three pounds, or to be
confined to the Btideeelt of the city for the ruiti-
gmeil period of sis weeks. This is the first convic-
tion which has occurred under the new Police ;
and as the malicious and disgraceful praflire of
lamp-breaking was very prevalent daring last sea-
son. the Magistrates are determined in future to
punish offenders to the full, nr nearly to the full
extent allowed by the all, which 611.135, that persons

The wife of a nobler in Anderston, was conviaed
before the Magistrates, upon the eighty-fifth section
of the Mutiny Act, of purchasintr a pair of regimen-
tal shoes from a soldier in the barracks bete, and
fined in the statutary penalty of five pounds sterling;
which suns she accordingly paid at the bar, and was
dismissed.

Mary Winters, from Paisley, was adjudged to six
months' confinement in the Bridewell, to be kept at

KING OF PRUSSIA.

The fare of the King of Proseia excites very ge-
neral commiseration amongst those who are Ae-
quair.ted with his chandler, and the circumstances
of his case; after an that has been said of him, it
appears (rum the testimony of those who are in
every reap. a best qualified to judge, that the vsn-
dua of this ill-fete) Monarch, in a domestic point
of view, has *Jailors's!, been highly estimable and
exemplary He is known to be a kind and affec-
tionate husband and fataer ; socially considered,
he is affable, humane, and benevolent ; and
there is no proof ch.* he is dlficient in the best ft .1 a.
lihcations requisite in a Sovereign. It would,
however, seem, that he is greatly wanting in
that Machiavelian po!icy which governs too many of
the European Court, at the present day, and that
his honesty may hive indireetly contributed to lay
the foundation of his misfortunes. Happy would
it have been for m takind, had all other Mossarehs
adopted his governing principle' s Enrope, in such
Casa, would at this moment have been repos-
log in the a: ins of peace, and the liens of mafiosos
of our fellow-men, 'sacrificed to the mad ambition
of a very few howniable individuals,) whose blood
has deluged the earth in melancholy su:cession,

*mild have been spared. Had doe Mager Prussia,
however. not been cursed with dishonest advice in
the Cabinet, and his armies headed by cowards and
traitors in the field, his present unmerited and gall-
ing degradation, in all likelihood, would never
have taken place. This is strong language, but it
is the language of truth. It is a well-shows jars,
that in different eagagemmts with the French, the
Prussian Offi:ers, almost to a man, deserted their
posts. and left the troops under their comma:.d to
fight alone ; when the latter found there were none
to head or dire then's, they very naturally gave
way :—the disaster and defeat which followed are
too generally known to recoire any re-statement
When the issue of the battle of Freydland first
reached the King of Prussia, he appeared exceed-
ingly afefled ; he has been observed slowly pacing

disqualify Monsieur or, adame Des ir Tlf tO astonish

houses of the season. The grand aarradico was the
farce of Three IVecia afire illareive, in which Mrs.

never was a more beaura:q or highly finished pic-
ture from fashionable h.., ; she appeared in excel-
lent spirits, and displayed a grace, •ivacity, and
ease, no language can repress. To this the audi-
ence bore ample testimony in the scene where Sir
Charles Backe* addressing her, says. " My dear,
you are the best attresa in the w0r1.1." The house
catching this sentiment, in unison wilh its own, rang
with assenting plaudits. Amor.g the brilliant as-
semblage Ciat graced the trues, were, the Countess
of Maxaciaetion. Lady WILLIAM RIFSULL. and
Lady Han osacroar. Indeed, we do not believe
there was a person of fashion, in or near Loudon,
absent. Such is the attraaion of this fascinating

Last night, Ws. Cep r r.i v s's lively Comedy of
la the ;140,4„,," was pr0du,...1 for the 131rpolie of dis-
playing the versatility of Mr. Yot,Nn's talents, in the
par: of f). Felix. Tl.Creare very few characters in
geiiteel comedy that embrace 10 mush variety, and
non,: that so many first-rate Performers have wish-
ed to excel in. It was a favourite part with GAR-
RICK, also with HINDIIR44111; even Mr. XLIIIILZ
has stadia it ; but for some Lim-• it has been the
exciasiee properly of Mr. itilwyrna, who has now
found a rival in Mr. YuuPa. Mr. Youso, as in
Ifewlei, did not s'line in the early part of if Fetx ;
he appeared to feel too much the importance of
the part be had undertaken, which gave a stiffness
to his performance not at all congenial with
elsgsr.t Comely. In the interview scoot., in the :4:h
A", :re became more spirited; and in the teethed-

much animation and feeling, and received un-
hounded applause. The house boasted a brilliant
and crowded audience. In the fashionable circle
were the Earl of OXFORD and family, Viscountess

SKIT.' V. !AMES.
We published an account of this trial in our Pa-
per of the 2sd instant, and are sorry to have Mad.
vertently mistated the faCts relating to it.
This was an aftion of assault. Mr. Smith is an
auftioneer and appraiser, in Broad-street, and at
Windsor, and Mr. James, a land surveyor to- the
Crown. In consequence of some dilapidations upon
an estate in Oxfordshire, these parties were appoint-
ed to ad as arbitrators, and to report the state of
tin premises. They accordingly proceeded to the
place, and the Plaintiff, Mr. Smith, was accompa-
nied by Mr. Graham, a person more conversant in
surveying buildings.
As the arbitrators proceeded to examine the state
of the house, the dilapidations in which Mr. Graham
was :o take an account of, Mr. G. made some re-
marks npon the state of one of the rooms, upon
which Mr. Smith shoved his elbow in token of si-
lence, hinting, as was supposed, that he would
thereby increase the expenses against his employer.
This condud of Mr Smith produced a serious re-
monstrance from Mr. James, who remarked, that
after such condult he could not converse with Mr.
S. upon business, or sic in the same room with
him.
Afterwards Mr. Smith went into a room at the inn,
where Mr. James was sitting, and upon Mr. J. re-
questing him to leave that room, as he had engaged
it for himself, Mr. S. refused, or declined so to do,
which produced some altercation, and Mr..l. taking
Mr. Smith by the collar, kicked him on the breeib,
and put him out of the room. Fur this assault the
adtion was brought.
Mr. PARKS, for the Defendant. admitted the as-
sault, but contended, that the Plaintiff's conduel jus-
tified is, .and said, that he should, therefore, without
slifficuiay, leave the case in the hands of the Jury,
who found a verdict for the Plaintiff, as has been
already stated—Damages One Slstilar.g.
