ECLIFSC—On Tuesday next there will be a *risible
eclipse of the sun in London and its vicinity.—lt will
begin on the right hand of the sun's lower limb at
58' minutes after five o'clock, the greatest obscuration
will be at 51 mintocs after six, and the whole will
close at 47 minutes after 7in the morning. The sun
will be centrally eclipsed at noon day, in lat. 53,36, north,
not total but annular, and will be visible in Russia,
Turkey, and Asia: the annular is the most beautiful of
all the eclipses. The digits eclipsed apparent in • this
latitude are 4 ilge. :; I min.
The following intelligence (from Hanover we should
reluctantly believe to be true :—" The Consistory in
Aurich has enjoined the Superintendains in the Pro-
vinces of East Friesland to cause the Clergy and School-
masters, whenever on opportunity occurs, to impress
upon the minds of youth, the noeesiity, the 'mare, and
honourable nature of the military profession." We Lace'
no wish to see a military life, held up to the aidert
passions of youth, as something more peculiarly honour.-
able and praiseworthy than civil occupations. It argues
badly fur the happiness and tranquillity of mankind.—
States that maintain disproportioued armies are not only
more willing to go to war, because they arc more ready ;
but they may be often forced to do so, as a remedy for
those evils at home, which are so apt to be endangered
by the turbulence and impatience of men who feel that
they arc useless when they arc not destroying.
lon Ist. a N DS.—lt appears that• there are immense
bodies of ice new floating in the Atlantic, as there were
during the lost spring and slimmer. The packet, which
has arrived from I hilifax, saw one 9,00 yards in height,
and apparently seven leagues in circumference, stand-
ing southward with the current. Capt. Quereau, of
the Grand Turk, which has arrived at Derry Irma
New York, states, that on the 15th of February, in
lat. 43. he passed through several immense islands of
ice, some miles in extent, and from three to fear buny
dyed feet high. The ship, with strong westerly gales,
was two days getting clear of them.

ROYAL ACADEXY.--. Ihe annual exhibition of this
splendid InstiVition was opened on Friday to the floral

The historical pieces are very few, and those not perhaps
in that high style ofexcellence which will itlaity their

The portraits, on the contrary, sre most of t. fent mar..

they represent.
There seems to be no doubt that the piracittotirnitte.l on the Prtr.-

of the people on board the packet, as stated at an , i, ,4... i

ILLNESS OF MR MAJESTY.

, %VIM

In the midst of the entertainment at the Duke of
York's on Saturday sight, we regret to state that tle:
Queen was attacked by her obi disorder, the spasms.
About ten o'clock, while the tea was handing round,
her Majesty fzit herself's° sedeenly ill that she wished.
t return to her t'r'ace. It so happened that none of
her attendants wore immediately to be focal, but Lord
and Lady Castbreaglis coach drawing up at the time,
teri his Lordship being informed of the illness of the
tilJea, be tendered his carriage to her, in which she
was conveyed back to BuckinOnet House. Actuated
by that, :Iffectice which they heve unifinnily
the Princess Augusta, the. Princess of Hesse Homberg,
end the rpediess of Gloueester, all accompanied their
Royal Mother iu the carriage. No time was lost in
sending ofi expresses for Sir Francis Milman and Sit
Henry Belford, who immediately came, after which
they remained with her Majesty for upwards of two
hours, when Sir Henry lialford had the pleasure of
waiting on the Prince Regent, to assure him of the
74.tfety of the Queen, as his Royal Highness had retired
fro n York house directly her Majefty was taken ill;
indeed thn whole of the party broke uo much sooner
than was expected. The Duke of Gloucester and Prin-
cess Sophia of Gloucester called at the Palace to make
inquiries idler the Queen, on their way home, as did
also the Royal attendants and friends of her Majesty.
Yesterday morning. the Prince Regent and all the
branches of the Royal Family sent to the Queen's Pa-
lace to make their affectionate inquiries after the state
of their Royal Mother. In the course of the day the
Regent, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke and
Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Clarence, paid
their respects to her Majesty. Sir Francis Millman
and Sir Henry Halford attended her Majesty ; and at
little before twelve o'clock, the following bulletin was
.issued
