" It.is really distressing to see our coasts al.

when so many vessels are on the coast loaded with
Grain, which can be so ill wanted."

The exertions now making in the Naval De-

A private Letter from an Officer on board one
of His Majesty's Ships at Plymouth, belonging
to the Channel Fleet, dated the zoth inst. says;
We arrived yesterday in Caysand Bay, from
the Squadron of Observation off Brest.. Very
little doubt remains but that the French Squadron,
which at our appearance returned into Brest, was
destined for the West Indies because fifteen
hundred of the persons embarked, consisted of
l'A Bfacks, ulattoes, and every description of Re-
fugees from the West :Indies, who had been
pressed at Paris, and sent in irons to Brest.“

Tt! E ACADEMY CIF ArIC,TRNT Music, one of
the most respedable Institutions of the kind in
this Country,-com'mdn'eed fat the Season last night
at' the,,Crown and -Anchor Tavern, in the Strand.
D. ARNOLD, who has been the Condor of
this Concert for many years, monied his station,
and supported it with his usual attention and
judg-tnent. The Leatet of the Balld is Mr. F.
CRAMt R, who inherits tic professional cxcellince
of his Father. I:he Ea:id, altogether, consists of
Instrumental Performers, calculated to do credit
to the undertaking; and the Vocal PerforMers are
all distinguished in their.profossion.
The seleaion iii,,ht, from r
HAYDN, WE and CAL t.ro.r-r, was made by
J. W. Sva ET," Esq. and it manifested suiraslk...
taste. Madame BlAkCii I, late Miss Jo.c u.sort, is
retained for this Concert, but sudden indispo4ition
prevented her attendance last night, a circum-
stance that could not but be regretted, by the
Audience, as she is a Performer of considerable
merit,

. A Vocal Performer \came forward last night
who had not previous's, been heard in this Me-
tiopolis. His name is VAunvimi. He is a young
man, as we undetstood, from Liverpool. His
voice very much resembles that of NE ILD ; not
quite so sweet in tone, but somewhat more power-
ful. With more praCtic:, ,is likely to, become
an admirable singer.

SALE very much distinguished him4elf in 'a Song
CompoSed by CALL6oT-r, 'whiCh afforded good
scope for the fine manly tones of the former.—
The other Vocal Performers were Master SNlrtx,
a very, promising youth, Goxr, LEPTE, and
WEED!.

The Vocal. and Instrumental PerformanCes
were judiciously varied, and. went off with all re-
quisite correaness and spirit. The Room was
attended by a numerous Audience, and the En_
tertainment in general received a very, Warin ap-
plause.

The Season, which commenced last night, is
the Seventy-third Subscription of this Concert,
and it was ,a pleasing addition to the, merits of
the performance, to see such an old and such a
respeftable Institution so well supported.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.--After the Co.
medy of Sired the Phngh, the Farce of The Pose
Soldier was performed, in which Jetts:storm „re-
sumed hixpart of-Patrick : playing it so' well as
he does, we are surprized the Manager should
ever have taken it from him, more particulatly as
he allowed a woman so* imfiroperly to wear the
Breeches. The House was a good one.
The Operatic Farce of The Veteran Tar, the
music of which is Composed by that 'veterim Mu.
• Dr. ARNOLD, is the Dramatic offspring
'of his soli. The music from so able a composer
will of course be good: and Green-room report
speaks very favourably of the Piece altogether.
Mr. Comte, we are happy to learn, was last
night much amended in health. He has express-
ed his wish to resume his professional lab Out to-
morrow night; but his Medical Friends wish
him to lie by till Tuesday.
HALLENSERG, the Royal Historiographer of
Swedo, it is said, has published a voluminous
Exposition of the Revelations of St. John, in -a
manner decidedly eriging/, and which is sup'.
posed to exhibit the Prophecies of that inspired
work, so' as to render them subservient to the
Revolutions effected by modern Franc:e and its
adherepts. This, however, has been already at-
tempted in:England by BROTHERS, and some
other Fanatics. •
ZOrrANY's excellent Piaure ofGARR Teti and
Mrs. PR ITCUARD, in a scene of Macbeth, which
was sold among the effeas of the late Mr. GEO.
KEATE, is now in the hands of Mr. .ISAAC
Mut), a liberal and judicious critic, who under-
stands as well as any man the merits of the ad.
mirable Originals. We are glad to find that. this
Gentleman, whom to know is to` esteem, is so
much recovered from his late alarming illness,
that a trip to Bath is likely to produce the entire'
restoration of his health.
Sir IvEURGE STAUNTON,' who wrote the ac.
count of, the Embassy tOChina, died-a few days
ago. He had long been suffering under a para..
lyric affection, which -materially injured one side,
and so much impaired his organs pf speech, that
he was of late hardly intelligible. His account
of the Embassy- to China is rather to be consider-,
ellas a proof of learnint and oltervation, than
of genius and refleaion. subjea itself was
highly interesting, but' it is certainly not ten.
dered very mach so in the relation. "However, it
is, on the Whole, a valdable Work, and is credi.
table to his charaEter for knowledge and dili-
gence. Sir GEORGE, was favourable to the
French Revolution at its origin, and during its,
progress, he was thought to be somewhat partial
tote principles upon wihich,it was founded.--
We have, however, reason to believe, that he
was latterly alarmed by the mischief which those
principles produced, and apprehensive,' that they
would shake the foundation of the civilized world.

The rotation at the Bois .street Police 4ffice has
bean this settled; Sir WILLIAM AontNGToN
has retired ; Mr. FORD takes the lead ; asicl
Mr: GRAHAM is translated. from Haiton.prden.

'engine called a Drag Net, of a most destrudit,c
nature, at Black wall Point, full of small fish.—
His Lordship after hearing the Evidence; anal thf:
fad being clearly proved to his satisfadion,
ordered the net to he destroyed, but on account of
the distressed situation of their families., and on
their solemnly promising never to offend again,
very hurnamay forgave them the fine,
