We can venture to say most confidently, that
the idle reports of yesterday, of the resignation of
Lord LIVEAPOO.I., or disunion in the Cabinet'
are wholly without foundation.

as it !s well known, that in a moderate degree of
cold, bats remain in a torpid state all the winter.
However, itis said to have been lately discovered
by an eininent naturalist, that when bats are se-

an extreme,degree of cold, has the power of en-
enlivening them from a state of torpidity. They

This is a very large picture, the largest in .the
' rooms, and possesses consitlerab;e merit in a way
which has few charms for us. It is altogether an
academical painting, and in the display Of the
anatomy of the hrinaii figure in a variety of atti-
tudes, the artist seems to havethortglit the secret
excellence lay. We are of a ditlerent opinion,'
,Aesides anatomy we'want character; in at
to the exhibition of muscles, we desire that the
skin which covers them should be flesh-coloured,
and not of the hue of Bath-brick ; 'to a multitude
of persons in a multitude of positiorrs, are of
opinion that it Would be a singular recommenda-
tion if they were grouped and blended together
ip a manner which Would shew, the skill of the
painter in harmony and composition. But in' the
present instance, the figures are scattered about.
in the strangest manner, possible, and so far
from approximating consistency or union in
otte design, they appear like so many pieces
cut out, and pasted the one over the other
•an a fire-screen, as we sometimes have seen done
with whimsical caricatures of cyphers or letters
of the Alphabet: We would not speak thus slight-
ingly of a young Artist, and especially of one
aiming at the highest rank,•but that this picture is
the most prominent example of a false taste Which
we have vet seen exhibited in- these rooms ; and
as Mr. Allston is a countrythan and pi o;:ege of
Mr. %Vest's, there is some danger of the mania
taking effect. It therefore behoves us to point
out its. demerits. It is in the worst manner
(n- the French School, whiCh we (in England) have
ever condentzed. Pretending, to resort to 'first
the School of Painting, these Philo-.
sophs, in painting as in politics, perverted the style
of. Michael Angelo, and in copying the grand in
;Nature, ,on which hisarl was founde4, froril the
refleclion of Le Brun's Theatrical and Arrificial
Mirror, they fell from the height of sublimity
into fluttering friv'olity,
,and olaring affectation.
To this succeeded the new rage which at the Re-
volution referred every thing still further hack to
the purity Of the ancient Model—the rage which
made.Buonapartes Brutuscs and Davids the
tatois of the 'imaginary Monochronts, and, Poly,
citron's of the remote ages, in' so far as these could.
be guessed at through the :ess perishable Medium of
ancient sculpture. Of, a mixture from these two
sources is the new French style, onwhich Mr.Allston
has formed himself, composed, and no wonder that
front such a combination the result should be an
unnatural compound. For the ideal simplicity of
antiquity is a bald and insufficient basis, and the
gusto. grand (as it is termed) of the Roman
school has never flourished out of the hands of its
'first masters. The man who is Competent to ex-
cel in tic union of the two, would posses too
high a degree of genius to be a copyist, and we
will venture to predict, that whenever such a hi-
mioary arises, he will be original, extraordi-
nary,—the inventor of a new style, and the
founder of a new era in the history of painting...

It is with pleasure we notice this able effort of
a young artist. It. is a very promising picture;
and proceeds towards thefulfilment of the expecta-
tions we had formed respecting his success front

and varied expression of their countenances, espe,

of the Cardinal, and the surniie of the Page,
are well conceived and executed. Neither is there
any deficiency in colouring ; the effect is good,
