MODEBN PATRIOTISM.

the following • article appeared.in a Public Print
which gives a Weekly Register of whatever may
fend to depress the hopes of the Public and throw
a gloom over our national prospects. We shall con-
tent ourselves with merely inserting it, as we be-
lieve there is hardly a man in the kingdom who can
think that it requires any comment, or attempt at
refutation . -
LORD NELSON'g LAST VICTOItY.......Upon this
subject every man's :heart. will teach him what to
think. There need ,no words-4nd no Words can
express. Wfiat' we all ought' to feel. Yet, it may,
`as. to the future, be' necessary to caution the Pub-
lic against giving. way to any great degree of hope,
founded upon,this glorious aphievement. . It is of
refue,„ of high value, as an acquisition of glory ;
but,,in other respects, the ea will not le of no
'importance. Great part of the:Enerny's loss con-
sists of Spanish Ships and men ; that is to say, of
the Ships and Men of our friends; and, this loss
will, in all probability, tend to bend more submis-
liv.ely, and to bind more firmly, the Spaniards to
France, As to the final result of the war, this vice
tory will do little, very: little indeed ; and, I submit
to the Reader, whether the news of it be likely to
attord much satiffaelion amongst our defeated Al-
lieS tipon the Ointinent ?—Whether they may not
feel tempted to exclaitn--4" "This War may be sport
to" you, but itis death to us."

ELOPENENT.—A young Lady, seventeen years
'of age, the niece of a Gentleman in 'the vicinity of
Baker.streot, Nath, who aged as her Guardian,
absented herself from home on,. Saturday last, and
has not yet beep heard of. The Gentleman ‘‘..,11
whom she has eloped is a limb of the law, and his
age exceeds that of Miss by 23 year. A billet dux,
found in the Lady's dressing-case since her absence,
developed the intimacy between' herself and her
suitor, and consequently the cause of her departure.
Every step has been taken to, trace the retreat of the
fugitives, but all that could be colle6ted is, that they
took a hackney-eaach in the New Road.
On Thursday morning last ,a man driving a stage
waggon near Derby, op 'the road from Burton-upon-
Treat, fell asleep upon the shafts, tiom whence he
dropped under the wheel, and had it not been rising
ground, together with the waggon being very heavy
louden, he must inevitably have been crushed to
death; but the horses not being able to draw the
waggon over him, though severely bruised, he is
likely to recover.

Within these few nights several East India Ships,
at Blackwall, have been plundered ollead and cop-
per sheathing to a considerable amount, Several
persons are in oustody QM. Suspicion.

Tux THRATRti.—The Tragedy of 3fachtli drew
a-crouded audience, last night to Covent-Garden
Theatre. KEMBLE and MI'S. SODOM, ES itgu3l, in
the murderous Thane? and his gentle Lady, did all
that criticism could require, and CHARLES KEMBLE
repeated his performance of illacdur very much to
the credit of his abilities.

After; the. Comedy of The Prior Claim, which
maintains its ground in public favour, a new ilfeto-
Drama was brought forvvard last night at Drury.
lane Theatre, entitled The Viliory and Death- 9f
Lord Nelson. To the' honour of the Performers
they were all ready to participate in sheaving their
respea to departed heroism. The chief chara&ers,
however, were allotted to &LISTON, liaAmm, Mrs.
BLAND, and Mrs. POWELL. The literary part of
this composition is attributed to Mr. Ct4tanitr.ANl),
and altogether it is by no means unworthy the cha.:
raaer of this respe&able veteran of Parnassus. The
scenery was appropriate and splendid, and the Naval
contest managed with good effeet. .• The nio-..t ,arik

duceci, was Pasta descending with a scroll, on which
appeared the emphatic words tit the lametaed C/li,

`anti to himself and his Country, England ay.;
per ,c every man will do his duty ;" an appeal to the,
hearts of British Tars best calculated to work upon
their feelings. The sentiments wore the grace of
novelty as well as of loyalty and patriotism. Mrs.
POWELL spoke some animated lines. With great
feeling, and BEAU/LH sung a very improssiva.air,com..
posed by himself; which was encored,' The Overture
and the rest of the music is attributed to Mr. P.
KING) who displayed much taste and skill in the
music .to the pleasant .Afterpiece entitled Matrimong.
There was a degree of spirit, bolOness, and pathos,
in the several passages, which entitle the Composer
to encouragement and praise. The A.,ldienee re-
ceived the Piece with all the' glow of Patriotism,
blended, however, with a tender regret for the Lss
of the gallant Chief, to whose memory it W:lti in-
tended to do honour.
