Admiralty have o: ikred that ail Midshipmen. arid Mas-
ter's Mates he discharged from the service, on their repeetive
ships being put into ordinary;
'and that no Captain or Com-
mander do enter on their ship' nos
hooks any Gentlemen' of the

The 141 lowing is an extract of a letter, of a
very recent date, from an Officer of the linpreg-
nal,le, in. the Mediterranean:— •
" Marseilles is without exception, a
.pattern to all other
pats of Louis's dominions for loyalty and affection. Since
the 10th of July the day of our arrival) it has been a conti-
nual scene of joy.. Last Sunday, the 30th, a grand dinner
was.giveu to Lord Exmouth, Sirs Hudson Lowe, Josias Row-
lew, Israel Pellew, and all the Oilicers of the Nary and
Army,,by the Mayor and City of Marseilles, and in the
evening a hall and supper were given to all at the Opera
;loose, which was fitted up for the purpose. :\:othing can
-exceed the attentiOn paid by the inhabitants to the Eng-
lish. The British flag, entwined with those of France,
Russia, and Spain, decorates the theatres. The . pops:lac
airs of Henri figuld•e" and " God .vave the King,' are
constautiy to be beard.—The Admirals, Captains, and the
officers, have billets at the most respectable inhabitants'
lu•ases, as have also the Oaicers of Marines, to. all of whom
the greatest respect is shown. The Royal Marines were
landed cadet:the command of Major Cox (Ajax), and Major
Bevians (impregnable), they were attached to the brigade
commanded by Brigadier Generalßurrows 14th),
and it. was truly gratifying to see their steady and soldier-
like conduct on all occasions. After a week's bivouac, the
British troops returned to• Marseilles; the 14th Regiment and
Italian levy, garrison the city, and the marines have em-
barked having received public thanks for their conduct. We
have here at present the Boyne, Impregnable,'Pomp4e, Mon-
tague, Leviathan, Tremendans, Meander, and Undaunted.—
There is a small cruising. squadron off Toulon, &c. consisting-
of the Rivoli, Ajax, Spartan, Pilot, te.tc. Lieut. Whitaker, of
the Queen, arrived here- on the 29th, with dispatches from
Admiral Penrose for Lord Exmouth, in the Sicilian scfponer
Louisiana. By him we learnt that Gaeta is Mill obstinately
defended by the Gaetirnor. The Austrians are assisted by it
squadron of our's, viz.: the Malta, Berwick, Spartan, Tit-eau,
and a flotilla of gnu-brats under the command of Lieut.
Chapman. .Colonel Robinson, of the Royal Marine Artillery,
commands a rocket brigade. Gaeta is well supplied with
provisions and ammunition, and can hold out 8 or 9 months
longer. The Tremendous sits for England immediately,—
The Asia is gone to the Adriatic to take quicksilver to Spain;
and the whole of the fleet is expected to visicf‘laples pre% ious
to quitting.for England." •

We arc glad to learn that cotton goods continue
in great demand. :Manchester was never kno‘vn
to do more business than it has done for some
weeks past. - The Americans have assisted greatly
in cleating the nw.rket and we may hence be sa-
tisfied that the stotics of the progres.s of the cot-
ton trade in the UnitedStatesare not authentic.—

An accident of a very.melancholy and fatal de-
scription, occurred on Wednesday last to Mr.
COMtLES CARTER, of Eton. Having•ditred at the
Christopher 1110, with a numerous party of friends,
he retired, with-others of the company, to an ad-
jacent bowling-green, where having ainosed him=
self for some time, tie stated his ‘vish to go to the
race-ground, in the next field, and accordingly
leaped the ditch which separated, the bowling-
green from the course. Unhappily he• alight-
ed Oil unsonnd earth, and his foot entering. a
hole, he was throivn back into. the ditch, and his
.leg most dreaiefully broken. tie %vas conveyed
home, and snrgical assistance -immediately- pro-
cured. The "traetnre was considered doing well
when on Friday a inortilication took place, which

very elegantly and rintheronsly attended. A Con-
cert upon so grand a scale was never before -wit•

most completely astonished and gratified all -pre-

There are Some, wanks which it
.alniost puzzles
.. . . the graviij at a Reviewer to sit down to ;—this,

. •
emunerating so many tAldes to which he might
be glad to sit down, is among the nuMber. And
What can he say to it.? The Bill of 'Fare in the
title-page is en a4lple index to the entertainment
within, and the only diii"erence be can see be-
.
tw.een the work and the aliments it so feelingly'
describes is, that the latter are presented to be,
the former is already well digested.
The hint for this production having been taken
from the Parisian Almanac/a des Gourmands, and
the Atahor. ;appears to have aeplieci himself to his
pursuit. with a due sense of its magnitude and iru=.
portance The task here undertaken (says he
in his Preface, page v.) is arduous bivond all pre--
c'edent !.liad the Editor been, gifted with the
eyes of AaCus and the palate of At'icrus CcEt-tof
he must have failed," &c. Now, notwithstanding-
the modesty of this writer, so tk>coming in a per--
son of
.his erudition,, whose researches enable
him thus to handle the Classics, from the plurnist
of Ju NO'S peacock to the esteemed Author de Arta.
Coqicinarht, who,, when he could indulge his palate
no longer, cut of the conimunicatfon between it
and hls stomach, by twisting a halter about his
gtillct, notwithstanding the modesty of this
writer, we say, he' has; in our opinion; as ably
acComplished the labOrious object of his studies
as it was possible, even had lie the additional or-
tzans, the posseSsi:m of which. he with so much,
laments.

We have 11.carti much; indeed, of the labours of
thr learned,-of their deep investigations into an-•
tivity, of wading through,rnultitudes of autho-
rities, of references to black letter and difficult old
writings, of wilsting.the midnight Oil..over
scarcely lep,ibitt and. tracts of lethargic influence,
of notes taking, date:l3- comparing, litigated poitits
investigating,_ of poudering over ponderous
quartos, toiling through relentless folios, and a
Hundred 'difficulties to he surinotnited.in complet-
ing a Work fit for the public, tasle:—but what are
all these to the prodigious talents, powers, and
application of the man who; with a spirit of
lam hropy,' boundless as the wants of his species
and'various as their appetites, devotes himself
to the toil of ascertaining, by personal peregri-
nation , and expetience,. all those resorts in
this vast metropolis Where man may be regaled
With Meat and drink-, the nature of their claims.;
and the respective me:its of their wares front the
Larder to the Cellar—ineludin in this survey not
only Loudon proprr, but also "Westminster,_
Southwalk, Lambeth, Mary-le-bone, and all the
districts within the Bills of Mortality! !" What
a job must a projected Author of this stamp have
before him ? How many courses of investigation
must he ::crew up his courage to go through ?
We have lreltrd-of ptrsons eating their way to
the Bar, kind of persons drinking their way front
the Bar, but what can compare with the eating.
and-drinking necessary to constitute the Editor
of the Epicure's Almanack ? Our jaws ache to
think on't.

But lest it be imagined that our Grace is, too
long, and our-Feast too scanty, we hasten to suni,
up the merits 'of this publication, which is really
not so dry as might be-expected from P. bare enu-
meration of ions, &c., but is put together with
considerable hounmr, and interspersed with a
number of amusing anecdotes. It gives it fttlL
and curious account of (we believe) about a thou-,
sand places of public entertainment iii Londoti
and its environs, mentioning their various quali-
ties and conditions, prices, Sand dcscrip,ion of
company -which frequents them. It then favours
the Eating World with a concise review of the
Artists who administer to the table, Etc.; such as
ironmongers with their iMprovements in culinary
utensils, cutlets, oilmen, &c. A history of the
Markets follows, .and is followed by a calendar
of the pro Visions, such as is found in cookery
books, for every'aionth of the year. The whole
closes with an Index, and may fairly be considered
