'ROYAL Ac :1U FUSE Lt on Monday
night read his Second Lecture. The subjca. of it
was tholki:yival Of Arein the Fifteenth Century,
by LEON ,IRDO axviNci, MI CF-I,AE ANGEL 6,
RAP HA F, ITT! AN, and CoRRE ;he ascribed
the infeiiority of those whd suCceeded.thern to a
der,?li,;:tio.6 of the principles established by those
great Masters. `-
o
He proCeeded to tat the, game revolution
of mind which had produced the revival of Art in
Jta:y !Tread to Gerniany ; and, after delineating
the charatler of ALBERT I7v R Ek, he- proceeded
to the establishment of the Flemish and Dutch
Schools, by the powers of RURENS, and kEivt-
illtArri• From thenee he went on to France, and
sheered what kind of style had been produced by
their adopting the Eeic6tie ptrinciples of the :CA-
I( Auts, viz. mediocrity—allowing at the same
time the great ability. which was to be seen' in,
some of the Works Of LE SEUR, BOURDON, LE
13R cru, and P.. Ni G NAP. D. After a brief survey
of Spanish Art, in which he noticed the excel_.
le4icies of VELASQUEZ and Moit tr,tyli, he fi-
nished his discourse by paying some wellAeserved
compliments to the talents and energies of English
Artists.—The- names of REY:NM, Di, WILSON,
1-IoGATH, iand.GA INS BOKOVG n,
.he particularly
mentioned, who in different departments of Art
exhibited original powers that place them on a
footing, both as to, mental strength and skill in
execution, with those great men who have been
the ornaments of foreign nations, thereby prov-
ing that in Painting, as in Poetry, the talents' of
Englishmen, if properly supported, are et:nal to
any undertaking.
Such was- the outline of Mr. FUSELI's dis-
cours-e,•in -which he, throughout, evinced *most
extensive acquaintance with the principal Works
of Art now existing,. and that' he had studied
them with profound reflelion and acute feeling,

The Officers on the ReCruiting Service, in the
