Jltat as we were preparing our last page for the
Press the following important intelligence reached
us, in Brittlels Papers to the 10th instant. This
is as it shonld be. A heavy responsibility at-
taches to the Supporters of BUONAPARTE, whose
final punishment is, we trust, near at hand :
" APRIL s.—Private Letters from Ger-
many announce, that the Russian corps d'armee
is in full march towards the Rhine. The ad-
vanced-guard is said to have already arrived in
the neighbourhood of Dresden.
" BRUSSELS, Aram B.—intelligence has been
received at Basle, that 40,,000 Fretich troops are
on the march to Switzerland.

" The German Papers are full of details of the
match of troops. Russia and Prussia have put
their whole force in motion:: 120,000 Cossacks
have broke up: to make a second visit to France.
Lord WELLINGTON set off this morning for
Ghent, as well Fs Baron FAtrm, the Russian
Gen. Dauss'EN; and other distinguished persons:
" A Courier has passed through this city 'this
morning with dispatches from DUONAPAETE, go-
ing to Stockholm ; he has orders to travel with
all pOssible speed.
" VIENNA, MARCH 29.—The Allied Powers
have signed a new Declaration, by which they
renew the Treaty of Chaumont, the tenor of
which is that they engaged not to treat with NA-
POLEON BUONAPARTE, or any of his Family,
without, however, interfering in the internal affairs
of France. This Declaration Kill soon. be pub-
lished bfficially."---(Orrtcle, April 9.)

Lord HARROWISY and Mr. WELLESLEY POLE
hare returned from their important mission.—
They lauded at Dover.

Paris Papers of the Bth arrived yesterday after-
noon, and we gave a short abstract in a late
Second A.lition of the interesting contents, which
will be found translated more at length in our
columns to-day.
Their prominent feature is the Rebel Decree,
by which the King of FaAsce. and the Royal
Family are proscribed as traitors, and condemned
to death if they should unhappily tall into the
hands of the Corsican and his brutal partizans.
This Decree, though only promulgated on the Bth
April, is ante-dated 25th March, and may be pro-
nounced as at once displaying the most desperate
effrontery, inveterate malignity, and barefaced
villany. The murderers of Louts the XVltb
were innocent, and authorized' u what they did,
when 'their acts aye contrasted with the atrocious
crimes contemplated by the framers of this Pro-
clamation. They had at least the semblance of
Constitutional Power, but BUONAPARTE and his
adherents can pretend to no privilege to murder,
hut that which lawless force has given them.—
The BOURBODi family, putting their hereditary
right out of the question, are, by the Acts of the
Sedate and the Deputies of the People, to all in-

THE FINE ARTS.

(Nt). IX.)

, On Saturday the Gallery of the British institu•
lion closed On the winks of British Artists; With
the view of belii,7 re-opened in about three weeks,
with a contributed collection of Paintings of the
Ditch and Flemish School; the receipts from
the exhibition of which will he applied for the,
.encouragement of onr Native Arts.
The extraordinary turn of political affairs has,
Among its other consequences, diverted us from
'the completion of Our Catalogue Raison& of the
.Pictures in this Gallery. With the exception of
a few beautiful Landscapes, however,- we noticed
'the chief specimeni in the rooms. The Standard
by COOPER, a Landscape by FIELDING, a Boy and
Rabbits by W. DAVISON, alone seem to claim an
especial record, as the productions of young and
rising Artists, who bid fair for future fame.—
Those of ,others, which we might also specify,
aid) as GLOVER, the BARICERS, CLEN NELL, • DA-
NIEL, HOLLAND, WESTALL, &C. &C. 'are from
easels better known, and therefore less likely to
by injured from a silent approbation.
Between sixty and seventy Pictures have been
told during the Exhibition.

Owing to the absence of historical compositions
of merit; the prewittuls, we hear, have not been
adjudged this season, but the amount is to be
devoted to reck'ards for • Sketches illustrative of
the glorious and triumphant career of Britain's
greatest Hero, the Duke of WEi.LINGTON. This
is a fine national design, and merits great praise,
though we cannot help wishing that some encou-
ragement had been given to the Artists who de-
served best in classic or poetical exertion. HAit
Low's picture of Hubert and Arthur was certainly
of sufficient desert to have *ocured the painter
some mark of approbaticin and incentive to higher
efforts.

Two hundred guineas were presented to Mr.
HANTER, for his excellent portraits of Ezra and
an Old Head; and such of our Readers as recol-
lect our opinion of these pictures, will anticipate
that we must approve of this distinction. If this
Artiit's mind is as enlarged, as considering his
Standing; his execution is extraordinary,—if his
conceptions are as grand, and his taste as fine, as
his knowledge of some of the great principles of
art, and his judgment in their application, on a
limited scale, appear to be correct, this honour-
able stimulus must produce a strong effect upon
his exertions, and be the source of something
front his pallet, at once a credit to himself and to
the British school.

A hundred guineas have also been presented to
Mr. How Aim, as a tribute or admiration to his
delicious picture of Sun-rise, whiCh has at length
been purchased by the• Marquis a STAFFORD. We
confess we have telt chagrined .that. this picture
should have been before the public a single week,
without being secured to the Cabinet Of simie rich
or noble amateur of the art. It is disheartening
to see such a work so long in the market. We
have delivered our sentiments upoli its beauties in a
former SUN; but- we may add, that upon view-
ing it again and again, our ideas of its excellence
have risen with every inspection. It evinces so
much true feeling, such exquisite taste, so rich
al) imagination, and a touch s„ happy as to give
effect to the finest conception, that it is luipos-
sible not to rank it as a chef d'auvre of Air. HOW-
ARD, and a sterling ornament to our national
character.

The Exhibition which is about to he opened in
these Rooms, and for which 'they are being pre-
pared in a manner so magnificent as to eclipse
any thing that ever was seen in this country, and
we may say in, the world, will be a treat worthy.
indeed of the lovers of Painting. We have seen
in their private receptacles most of the subjects
which form its catalogue, and when we state that
they are among the foremost productions of the
schools to which they belong, and the most cele-
brated efforts of human genius in a class of paint-
ing, of which Great Britain is by tar-the richest
repository in the universe, it is scarcely necessary
to add, that so splendid a collection, so infinite a
source of delight -to the admirers of the Fine Arts,
so brilliant a scene even-for the gratification of
counnon curiosity is nut likely to he witnessed
again) and could not he furnished by the united
world- beyond the confines of the British empire.
When the Gallery opens, we trust that the acts
of the miscreant BUONAPARTE, 3ncl the annals of
.his accursed exploits, may tiot deprive us of .the
opportunity we desire of paying due homage to
these matchless performances.
