The line of battle ship which was found on the
stocks at Flushing is nearly taken to pieces, and
the, timber all en:barked. There is a frigate also-in
progress of equipment, but private letters say she
gets on very slowly, and that it would require nearly
ten weeks to put her in a
.situation to be towed over'
ft Enghtid. A gun-brig. is soon expected to be
launched. A great number of brass guns have been
found in the Island. It is supposed they will be
brought to England.

BUONA PARTE, according to report, is seriously in-
disposed, and has been obliged to send tor a physi-
6an. What must be the state of a man who cannot
but fear that the physician whom he consuns may.
be desirous of ridding the world of him, and may..
!herefore leave the disorder to its natural cour,e, it
it be likely to prove fatal. But if so- desirable an
event as his death were to happen; though no
illumination might take place, it is certain that every
body would rejoice but the instruments of his criMes,
end his dependants. ALEILANDaa the great reso-
lutely took the medicine from his physician, though
lie had been
_informed that the latter intended to
him, acting froma lofty consciousness of
, virtue bat BuoNavaitTa has no such foundation
for confidence, and has reason not only to fear de-
s.trudton train an individual but from almost every
pOdy who approaches him.

are sorry to find that though the birth-day of
THONiON, the Poet, is annually celebrated at Ednam,
the place of his nativity, a sufficient sum of money
has not been raised by subscription, in Scotland, to
warrant the Society who patronize this celebration,
&c. in proceeding with a monument in honour of
such an ornament to the country. It
.might hare
been expected that a sense of national pride would
have retiidered not only the affluent people of Scot-
land, but every body capable of tasting the del►gltts
of gtnuine poesy, prompt in their contribution to do
Jumour to the memory of so favoured a votary of the
Muse.
