Brest harbour were reconnoitred on the preceding
Wednesday by the If nrrior, 74, Cape/in Schooner, and
King George Cutter, when they discovered seven Sail
of the Line, one Frigate, and a Brig; being One Fri-
gate and a Brig less in number than when seen be;
fore. They appeared quite ready for sea, havitig
royal stay-sails, gaffs, 4e, all bent, and their sails
loosened for drying.

Mr. WniTaaRAD has lessened himself, even in
the opinion of his friends), by the part which he has
lately taken lit political discussions. Such a man
should disdain the personalities in which he has in-
dulged himself, even to remarks on Mr. CANNING'S
manner of speaking. It would be more worthy of
bis charaeter, and be more creditable to his cause,
if he were to attempt to refute the arguments of
Mr. CANNING rather than descend to such pitiable
animadversions on bis accent and his gestures. Mr.

FEES TOR LteRSCRS TO I.iii.vrowre..--The Return
to the Order of the House of Commons, of the nth
January last states, that no entry can be found of
any regular Table of ;,'ees to be taken by the Clerks
of the Council in ordinary, the under Clerks, or
Servants, as approved t)y the king, or the Lords
of the Privy Council ; but that as early as 1664,
certain Fees were received upon Ordors in 'Council,
wherein- individuals had ap interest that in the
Patent py which the Clerks in Ordinary of the
Council hold; their Offices, there is a grant of a
yearly salary of 2'501. with all other rights and per-
duisites;Bic. That there does exist in this office
ocument, evidently from its appvarance an ancient
one intituleii, . A Table of Fees tqltet4 in the Privy
Council Offic.e," by which it appears, that for ate
Order of COuncil, Licepce,Ptc. under the'Council Seal,
the Fee payable to the Upper Clerks (meaning the
Clerks in Ordinary) was two pounds; to the trade;
Clerks ten shillings : to the Servant to the Council
Chamber and Office•keeper, two shillings and Silts
pence ; and in a Copy of Tattle Fees, delivered irk
1767, there is a mita bone of further sums then
usually paid, making the whole of the Fee payable
at that time on a beneficial Order in Council, tlireq
paunch two shillings and /ixpence : That since OM
year 1767 other additions have been made, so Olaf
at the present day the whole idrvi is row pound*
sixteen shillings. Additional sums have boen red:
ceived by the Under Clerks and others employed in
this Office. And that no increase of Fee of tarkind has taken place since the year 1790.

FAREWELL ADDRESS, ,
DELIVtitED BY M 2. YOUNG, ON SATUAI►AY *VINING
LAST, AT THE DUBLIN THLATIti.

Long has tho Stage with anguish inly mourned
The loss of those who ott thtse Boards adorn'd ;
Who fought and conquer'd, on these miinic plains,
And held the Passions in their magic chains ;
Here, CARRICK, Biittev,'Mo'ssoi, gave to view
The vivid scenes immortal SuAx see A. its drew;
,
Refin'd, inspir'd, they felt his woncrnaus,flarne,
And join'd the Aaor's with the Poet's name.
Think not that I such Merit dare assume,
Or place myself, vain glorious, in their room—
Ah, no I with GAR SICK aaing was allied,
• Our art grew feeble when its Master died.
But yet, 1 feel that he who ne'er aspit'd
To proud distinaion, never yet was fir'd ;
He, whom no hopes of future fame attend;
Though not receding, still can never mend ;
His prospea bounded, no ambition moves,
No audience hatters, and no friend approves.
The warrior youth who fancies that he sees
StandardiandtrOphies float on every breeze,
Imagines conquest, though no battle nigh
Hails himself viClor in his mental eye.
Thus, then, my mind some scenic triumph forms,
And anxious hope my every etlbrt Warms.
What my claims are, I now subMit to you,
Who both can judge with truth and mOcy too;
Who well can rate what merit I possess,
And though but little, will not make it less.
Accept my thanksforall your kindness past;
Andsfor this Night';, the'greatest and the last.
Should lib•cal fortune send me here once more,
To meet fresh favouri on your gen'rous shore;
With eager hope, the promis'd joy I'll seize,
And bring, if nut the pow'r, the wish to 'please:

,
A new Farce is fat-than-fling at Covent-Garcieis
Theatre, written bra popular' Dramatist, and it is
to have the additional recommendation of some ['ai-
sle from Mr. CoitiALL, Whose taste and science are
well knOwri.

Tne ti OPERA-N.ol.—h iS to be hoped that
the distinguished. Charaaers who lately assembled
fer the purpose of erecting a new Opera House,
will desist froth so very imprudent a measure in
the present situation of :ants: If they have-.more
money than they know what to clo'with, they have
an opportunity of shewiug their generosity and pa
triotiqm together., by supporting the rational and
manly amusements of the British Drama, rather
than encourage a troop of squalling Foreigners, most
of whom are to be regarded as spies, and who 'will
be ready enough to injure this country as, soon as
they' have quitted it. The property. of. Drury-lane
Theatre, it is well known, has long been in a state.
of great embarrassment, which all the prudence and
all the diligence of the Trustees have. not been able to
lessen in any considerable degree. Let, then, the No-
bleti tea and Gentlemen who were so ineonsiderate as
to. think of patronizing anew estahiishownt for the
introduthon of more of our enemies, combine to ex-
tricate Drury-lane Theatre from its present vexatious
• predicament. Hence they would relieve.a vast body
of people 4 open a new field for the exertion of na-
tive talents, and renovate that national amusement,
which, properly managed, might tend to the im-
provement of taste and manners, 40d.the cultivation
of those sentiments, principles, and virtues,: which
would do honour to the British chardier. Such
condu& on the part of- the great persons alluded to,
would procure them the esteem and gratitude of
their countrymen, who, if they persevere in the
other foolish, mad, and mischievous plan, can only
view them with contempt or pity.
