TO THE POLISH NATION.

"POLES !-1 Will confer upon you a King.
I will extend your limits.
" Your country- shall be greater than it was ini
the days of Stanislaus.
" The Grand Duke of Wurtzburg, our' Uncle,
shall be your King.
" This Sovereign has bestowed upon us his
friendship, he has proved it by his conduct, and
by his attachment to the common cause. His
troops are now placed at our disposal ; unite
yourselves with. them, and never revive The an-
ek,.nt animosity which was encourazed .towards
his subjects, and.which,extinguished the glory of
your ancestors. ‘,.‘ NAPOLEON."

THE ARTS.—Mr..TUANIR opened his Gallery
for admission of his friends .a few weeks ago, and
it was closed on- Saturday last. Some of the Pic-
tures,had been submitted to the. public.before, and
there are seven additional landscapes, all of which
display extraordinary merit. indeed We are al-
most disposed to say,that they even excel his for-
mer produ'ctions, except in two or three instances.
Among the new works are The River Plym,
Calder Bridge, Cumberland, Teignmouth, Saltash,
with the Water 'Ferry, lry Bridge Mill, Devon
shire, St. Maws, at the Pilchard season. All
these pictures are painted with a boldness, vi-
gour, and truth, which entitle the Artist to a very
high station among the Landscape Painter§ of
-any period. His fine Picture of Mercury and.
Ilerse would have afforded us more pleasure if we
had met it again in any other place, but we saw
with regret that it is still left on the hands of the
Artist, who has on this occasion beep the victim
of etiquette and delicacy. It seems that two is
had expressed to wish to have this Picture,
but hearing that a Great Personage had *Sired
it, they withdrew. their pretensions. The same
motives of delicacy, we understand, operated upon
the Great Personage, who declined it in favour of
the two Noblemen. Matters remain in this vex-
atious state, and from .similar feelings among the
higher• Patrons of Art, a Picture that. would be an
ornament in :any collection, though it does so
much honour to the genius of the ArtiSt, is not
likely, at present at least, to add anything to his
fortune.

THE MEATRE.---Mr. BRAII Am last night conclud-
ed his engagement at the :Lyceum, with the serious
Opera of Tirt!- Maniac, and the profits of the
night were for his own benefit. The house. was
crowded in all parts. ,He exerted hitnlelf with
great zeal, and sung with the full exertion of his
great powers. Miss KELLY acquitted herself
most ably in the. character of the wild Heroine of
piece, and indeed displayed such force • and ex-
pression as evinced • considerable powers as an
actress.

INCLEDON is now performing: at Edinburgh;
where he commenced his engagement on Saturday'.
last in the part of Machcath. • •
There was another eager contest' last week for
vacancies in the ALFRED CLUB'. Eleven new Mem- .
hers were admitted, among whom were Sir SIDNEY
SX I TH. and Mr .JEKYLt. It is sOmewhat curious that
two such distinguished characters as these should
have been unsuccessful Candidates on the .last
Election; but •it -seems, that it . was generally
thought they were secure, the Votes therefore went
in other directiOns, and they failed,' when most
people expected that ,they would certainly .be
admitted: •
It is a curious circumstance, that in a tecent
novel, • published, however, some time before the
assassination, of Mr. PERCEVAL, the author has in-
.trotlueed a ruffian of the most :atrocious descrip-
tion, to whom she
.gives the name of, SEI,LING -
RAM, and. represents as a descendant of FELTON
A letter from an Officer-of the Impregnable, off
the, Scheldt; dated on' Monday last, says :—" The
liampee,.- of Sp-guns, Sir A. Woon, goes im-
mediately to Spithead,. the Lords of the Admiralty
having been
,pleased to order that a Court-Martial
shall -be held on Sir I. Wool), that he may have
an opportunity of, explaining some circumstances
which occurred vvlien he fell in with the French
squadtrOn, the Trelnendoiis, Poietier., and Diana,
. being then in Sight. The Tremendous and Ppictiers
will also leave the fleet for Spithead, the moment
they are relieved. The enemy's fleet continues off
Flushing : they will have twenty-four sail of the
ready for sea soon.'

Rear-Admiral Brown relieves, in the command
on the Jersey station, Vice-Admiral the Prince of
BOUILLON. The Prince'of BOUILLON will pro-
ceed •in the Ulysses to 'Portsmouth; where be will
strike his flag.. Mr. LAM'. is .appointed Secre-
tary to Rear-Admiral RnowN. •
Government have, it is said, with the approbar
tion of the Regency of Spain, determined to add
one. hundro Spaniards to. every British regiment
nowt/. serving in the Peninsula.
• Two hundred men of the PRINCE. of HassE
DARMSTSDI:S regiment, made prisoner at Badajoz,
and lately landed at Plymouth, have volunteered
into the German Legion.
. Attempted Suicide.--A respectable young wo-
man,l4he daughter of industrious tradespeople, in
Maritle-bonne-lane, , who was nursery-maid in a
family -in Alpha-road, Mary4e-bonne, threw her-
self from a second-floor back-window, yesterday,
.into a paved yard; -but miraculously without frac-
turing a bone. After recovering from the sudden
effects of the fall, she attempted to cut her throat.
The motive which induced the rash attempt is not
known.—The young' woman was restored to her
relations.
