RAMSGATE, JAN. 17.—A general embarkation et
about 8000 men is expe&ed to take place on Satur-
day and Sunday next. About fifty light transports,
of from about 150 to 250 tons each, are now within
the Pier to receive them. One of these Transports,
in running in on Monday evening with a heavy se#l,
considerably damaged the lodge which surrounds:the:a
light-house, at the extremity of the pier. The,,ilow,-,
sprit came 'bounce against the cove, drove in about
one half of it, and tore down part of the parapet.
Fortunately no person was hurt by the accident, nor
does the Vessel appear to have sustained any injury.

A Court Martial was lately held on board His
Majesty's Ship Salvador del Mundo, in Hamoaze, on
Lieutenant Nicnoz.s, of the Royal Marines, on the
charge exhibited against him by Captain SPRANGAtt,I
for having absented himself from his duty onboard
the Warrzoi during fourteen days. The Court 4a,
Judged the trisoner to be dismissed from further sex-
vitutle in the Royal Marines.
. , .

A few evenings since, as Mr. Beauchamp, of Al-
narle-street,, was decending his stairs, he slippcd.
, and unfortunately dislocated his neck; and
expired immediately.

POETRY. ,

•
ON the report that the beautifal C;rotivas;.itt
Twickenham, planted by PorE, had been converted
into a common garden.*

Oh ! Twou to taste and nobler feelings dead,
' Whose ruthless hand this vulgar ruin spread !
Where POPE'S chaste fancy deck'd the classic ground,
In her lov'd haunt the I3RIz I$H MUSE to wound !
In the lov'd haunt the Muse herself had rear'd,
By GENIUS, NATURE, and by TIME endear'd !
Ne'er can that Muse her deep'iregreeproclaim,
But brands the havoc with eternal shame.
Thus be of yore, ambitious, wild, and vain,
Destroy'd as Ephesus the sacred fane!
Yet 'twas the love of Fame beguil'd his mind,
And some excuse in human pride we find ;
Fame that impels the heart to high emprize,
Fame that ensnares the virtuous and. the wise ; '
But thou, unknown, and reckless of a name,
r -beat' to the madd'ning strains of syren Fame;
'Thou, guilt that nothing palliates, could'st deface
~,,What GENIUS, NATURE, TIME, were proud to grace.
These lines were written during the life of the last 0 wnet
of this interesting place, but, it is said, that the present Pos•
sessor of it means to complete the Gothic ravage.

THE ARTS.—LAWRENCE has just finished a fine
Portrait of Mr. PITT, which, besides bearing a faith-
ful resemblance of the ever-to-be-lamented original,
forcibly exptesses that lofty scorn of everything hostile
to the interests of virtue, and the happiness of man-
kind, which was a predominant feature in time cha-
ra&er of that great and good Statesman.--This ad-
mirable Pi&ure, we trust, will be engraved, to
multiply the similitudes of so, great a man, and ex-
cite others to follow his steps in the paths of pa-
triotism and honour. LAWRENCE . has also painted
an etcellent Portrait of KEMBLE, for Mr. HARRIS,
of Covent Garden Theatre. The; portrait does not
represent any theatrical charaaer. The, likeness is
exact and animated, and there_ is a'sober dignity in
the: colouring that manifests sound taste and judg-
,ineet ;in .the Artist.

H.RISTOPHEI.OANSTEY., ESQ.—A . monument in
, honour of this lively Poet and respe6t.able man has
rßeen recently placed. in Westruinger-Abbey. It is
i';ineritpd tribute of filial atteakin to departed
ge-
nius. The late, Mr. ANSTEY possess'ed-great
humour; his works are chara6terised by peculiar ease,
and spirit, and he may be. fairly.considered •as the
inventor of anew and diverting .species of Poetry.
,This monument is properly placed. in Poets' Corner, .
and bears a Latin incription, that does justice to the
memory of the dead,, without that extravagance of
eulogy which too often appears in such conaposltions.!
—The Royal Naval Asylum for the Childrtn of Sea-
„rnrl,:will be attended with a secondary, yeti mportant,
public advantage, in,affording a comfortable retreat
and ,provision for a few bid and 'meritorious Officers
Of the Navy, in the various departments of Governor,
Chaplain, Surgeon, &c. and will also provide for the
widows of Officers and seamen, in the employment•
of Matrons, Nurses, .&c.

A Mr. BEAumoi.IT is to take the Glasgow Theatre
aethe end of_the.present lease, which expires in two
years.He is .to give 16001. a year for it. Sixty
ky,unds in the Theatre is thought a good house, to
speak in theatrical language ; so that it seems an ad-
'Hyenturous speculation.

EXTRACT O,P ?k LETTER FROM XONIGSBURGH, OP

• THE 28TH MAY.
(From the Telegraph.)—" It is incredible what a
disagreeable impression the news of the fall of Dant-
sic produced here. Most men pour forth execra-
tions against the Russians, because they have not
exerted sufficient vigour in order to relieve that city.
The Royal Bank, and the various effeas of the King,
which were lately brought from Memel to Konigs-
burgh, are again about to be sent back. Several
families begin to follow this example ; and the cir-
cumstance, that the French having now their left
wing proteaed, are able to advance against Konigs-
burgh, creates great despondency, which .is still
farther increased by the prevailing reports that the
Russians mean.to retreat. Our politicians have held
out to us, that this was only a snare to entrap the
French troops ; but these Gentlemen forget that
eagles are not caught with lime twigs. We have
been perpetually assured in our Gazette, that the re-
inforcements which the French have received con-
sist only of a corps of from 4 to 5000 men, composed
for the mostpart of Conscripts, the most part of
them boys ; and that the former movements among
the French were only made to induce the belief that
great reinforcements had arrived. And yet we have
let Dantzic be taken ! We are told that our King
cannot possibly accept the terms' of peace prOposed
by NAPOLEON, particularly since he has entered in-
to stipulatiOns with his Allies the most advantageous
to his Crown, and theSe Allies will procure for him
much greater' advantages' than NAPOLEON would
voluntarily accede to. , •
''‘ Is 'the capture of Dantaic the commencement of
these advantages ? Would' it not be wiser.to enter
into stipulations with him, who has in his hand the
wished-for advantages, than with those who must
first themselves procure theM ?"

VIENNA, MAY 27.—0 n the 21st instant, six per-
sons, belonging to the Civil Department of the
State, were brought hither from Osen, under a
militarY escort; and delivered into the custody of the
Magistrates. It is also said, that two carriages, on
their way from Hungary, were stopped,' and the
persons found in them seized. It is reported on 'this
occasion, though it is•by no means probable, that
at the first sitting of the Diet in Hungary, two
foreigners were discovered, disguised in the Hun-
garian dress.
VIENNA, MAY 30.--The Archduke CHARLES re-
turned here on the 27th, from Hungary, in perfea
health, The Count STADION, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, is also returned to this capital. The Em-
peror is expected to-morrow from the Castle of
Luxemburgh.

HALLE, MAY 28.—During the last fortnight,
several bodies of troops have passed through this
place, and the number of those which have passed
through our neighboUrhood and Saxony is esti-
mated at 30,000: they are all on their march to-
wards the Grand Army. Within the, same period
several hundred waggons have, also arrived front
Saxony, laden with grain and flour, all of which have
been' transported to Magdebourgh,
BAYREUTH, MAY 30.—The Oarette of this place,
of yesterday, contained ;he folloWing article from
the Banks of the Maine :—" The Confederation of
the Rhine continuing to increase, and that deno-
mination being considered as too vague, it will be
changed into that of the Germanic Confederation,
which is more suitable to the great extent of the
Countries which those Powers occupy."
LUBECK, JUNE s.—We are still without any spe-
cific declaration from Sweden, respeCting our navi-
gation. The Commander of a Ship called the Krel-
lenburgh, who arrived here to-day from Pillau,, says,
that he was stoppad
,by a Swedish frigate stationed
near Darrs, who, flaying examined' his papers, and
finding that his vessel was from Lubeck, let her
proceed on her voyage. Another of our ships, which

arrivedalsoffrom Piiian, was st4pped by the Scred'es,
who put some sailors on hoard, and ordered hLr o
proceed to Ystadt.

BANKS OF THE VLBE, JUNE g.—lt is reported,
that Gen. BLUCHER arrived on the itgth'ult.-at Stral-
sund, where the number of Prussian troops amount-
ed to '6OOO men. The French head-quarters . are
about to be transferred to Auclatn. Tkis change in •
dices us to suppose that the re-commencement of ho:-
tiiities is not far distant.

AUGSBURGH, MAY (48.—What was said of the
'Camp of GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS, during the 3o
years' war, may be applied to the French troops ;-
viz. that the troops regularly performed their reli-
giousduties twice a day. Both morning and urea- .
ing, after roll-call, the companies are forcued into
circles, and a Chaplain, or Serjeant; reads, in a
loud voice, and with great, devotion, the morning an:t
evening prayers, in which the troops join,

[FROM A BERLIN PIPER, JUNE t.] •
" A variety: of German Papers have circulated in-
telligence which seems to intimate that Austria will
be brought join
.to the Coalition ; but, however a
recollection of the -incidents of the last eventful years
may serve toyender this event not absolutely impos-
sible, yet a steady contemplation of the present site-
ation of i-ance, her power, and that- of her Allies,
do not- suffer us to entertain any doubt as to the'
suit. France, united with the South of Getmany„ is'
in possession of the NoYthern half as conqueror, and •
can avail herself of its "resources, which, though :less
productive, mar be turned to advantage, these &Kin-
tries having been,Spared frn:n.the ravages of war. In
possession of a series of fortre.-7 ; from Hameln and
Magdeburgh to Glogau - and Schweidnitz, and- pro-
tected-by several parallel rivers against Russia, France
would be able, for the present, to carry on. a defen-
sive war against that Power, while the genius of
NAPOLEON would 'lead him, with his accustomed
velocity, the shortest way into the heart of the Art-
strian •Monarchy. The Allies of Holland and of
Spain . would be sufficient to frustrate the long -threat-
ened Invasion- of the English ; and, in the mean •
while the, immense unassailable territory of France
would, in afew months, resemble one vast camp.—
The marcleof troops over the Rhine 'has never once
ceased.; and the North of Germany is filled with the -
Reserve.ofthe'Graud Army. In a year France would
exhibit a mass amen in arms to be compared only
with what the same nation exhibited when, as a Re-
public, it contended against all Europe. But how
greatly are the external and internal relations of
'France changed since that period ! A firm Oraani- • -
zation and perfect repose in the interior; and an
union with one half of civilized Europe, will not suf-
fer a doubt to exist concerning theilsue of such 'a
contest, recollecting haw the former terminated.—
The painful lesson which the European Powers have
been- receiving --during the last fifteen years, does
not, indeed, seem to have produced any great change
in their Policy. The same illusions are maintained,
the same 'absurd confidence- rn the sufficiency of
obsolete expedients and resources, and the same
scornful contempt of the saving hand which .the
-genius of the age presents to them ! It must be con-
fessed, however, that the,expectation of conquering
France is pretty well given' up. In the mean while
that Power from which we should least have expect-
ed it, Austria, appears best, to understand the disease
and-the remedy:- - -Thiris-vvarent tfrom ttre ma by:—
reforms she has partly planned, and began ; and we
infer from this, that Austria, for herself at least, will
try to maintain peace."

POLICE.-WC yesterday mentioned an extraordi-
nary circumstance that had occurred in Fleet strcet
in the morning. The following is a more particular
account of The matter, as appeared on the exatnina.
tion of the nil-ender soon after at Guildhall, before
the Sittig; Magistrate; Sir JOl-61' EANIER

Johri'Al6tinTief Munroe, a genteel looking man:
about 40;fyears of age, was charged with firing a
loaded piStoll,itt'a7cly, in Fleet-street, about ten
o'clock in '`tV6 morning. A friend of the Ladr,
stated, that the ball grazed the side of the Lady s
face, and that she was too ill to attend. He added,
that the Lady kneW nothing of the Prisoner, never
having seen him before. The ball, after grazing
the face of the Lady, took an oblique.dire&ion,
broke an upper pane in the shop window of Mr.
Davison, the perfumer, and struck the cieling. A
young woman in the shop was so much frightened,
that she fell Upon the floor, and was supposed dead ;
but, on examination, she was found 'not to have re-
ceived any personal injury. A crowd was imme-
diatelyrattraaed to the spotaby the report of the
pistol, and -the -Prisoner was taken into custody.
The pistol was taken from him, and in his pocket
were found two balls and Some gun-powder. A
Gentleman who saw the transaction stated, that the
Prisoner was at a distance of three or tour yards
from the Lady when he fired, and that he fired in a
careless manner, as if he did not know whom he was
firing at, or had no distin& obje& in view.
Sir JOHN. EAMER, the Presiding Magistrate, asked
the Prisoner who he was, and whence, he came ?
whether he knew the Lady, and what could have
induced him to commit such a rash a& ? The Pri-
soner appeared rather unhappy in his mind, but
gate rational answers to all these questions. He
said he was a Scotchtnan, and came from Glasgow,
where, he bad been a Merchant; that he had been
in Ltsodon three months, and purchased the pistol
since his arrival, thinking he -Mould hate occasion
for it. With respe& to the firing of it, he declined
giving-any.reason for it, but said that his sister knew
and would tell. That besides his sister and her hus-
band, he had a cousin in. London ; and he gave
their addresses.

He was committed for furthei examination, which
will take place.w hen the Lady-is sufficiently recta-
vefed to attend. the .Prisoner's .lister is also to be
brought forward upon the occasion.
