DUTCHESS
.OF GORDOY.

THY return of the Dutchess of GORDON to pre.
side at Gordon Castle, brings to our. recolle6ion
the following elegant Stanzas,. which were written
shout fifteen years ago by a Gentleman who had tra-
velled into Scotland,,and, was much delighled by the
hospitality and engaging Society, which do ho much
honour to that Antient Seat of Feudal Dignity, and
to which her Grace so highly contributes.

O'er London shall thy Trophies fly,
Her proudest Lords and Dames shall vie,

TATE. WILICINSO.V.

TATI WILKINSON, who died on Thursday last
at York, was one of the oldest Performers,on the
English Stage. As an Imitator he was once ,high
in repute, but his talents as an Ador were of a very
inferior order. He not only mimicked the Adorn
who were distinguished about forty years ago on the
London-Stage, .but FOOTS'S manner of imitating
•
them.

About twenty years ago he made Ms iarpearance
at Covent Garden'Theatre, but with such indiffer-
ent suceess, that he indeed received marks of dis.
approbation from the audience. lie, however, step,
flea forward, and' observing, that he had long-pos..
bewd "a huh 469r1i0N of lone, he hoped they
would not then cus hint otr.with a shilliNg.'4 This
appeal to. the kilitiness anti-c.indour of_ the audience,
was delivered with modesty' and feeling, 'and censure
bunk.into silent toleration...

He is thus mentioned by CH. u> cHILt.,
" Ft nte at 0 Id. House, for even Foote will he
'" I;ei I:conceit an atlor, h(thea with tea,

He has puhli ;lied several works on• theatrical Ms.
tory, and if he 11,td confined hitmelf to what passed
under his observation, without makingltimNelf the
I.ero of the talc, no man could have given a more
:+;nlhing store Of theatrical anecdotes, but his books.
oilltittue such a mass of tedious egotism that it is
to read them.
But though WI i.x 3 was nothing as an Aaor,
and too self-important ft 4 a Writer, he was. a very
y,..-alous friend to the Stage, and :4 very worthy'man.

Aft. juit;ie HARDINGE's CHARGE,
AT CARDIFF, AUG. 22, 1803.

Genilesnen_qf tbe Grand ;wry,

11 I contemplate the general fertility of your
soil, and the'nnexatnpled return of its present liar.
vest, I cane ,t flrbear to exclaim, in the words of
the Rdrnan •Poet (`stripping them of their poetical
habit, and retaining the, sentiment unimpaired)

• "
Shall 311 impious Army take possession of land so
cultivated !
" Shall a Barbarian be the reaper of this corn .
" See for whom we have sown our fields !"

Here the Poet has left us—but We can fill up the
canvas, and we can give the answer to Ins clues.

" For whom !" are we askre- ' 'fitstory will
•
tell _us, and Outs her seal upon it.. For those who
will tear from your peasantd, under the mask of
tribute or.subsidy, the indefinite claims of unbound.
ed avarice ; will rifle their cottages, and when plun.
tier has been satiated, will set them on fire, commit
outrages upon their daughters, and their matrons,
too shocking to be named, vet their trampling foot
upon age, and pollute, with savage insult, all the
decencies of life.

, I give you this pidtire to anticipite your abhor.
rence (lithe features ; and your determination, that
with Enemies like these you will hear of ,no COM.
promise, till every musket, sword, and pike shall
be wrested from those gallant Volunteers (the hardy
and spirited birth-right of your soil) whom you are-
in the ad of arming for.the defence of all that is dear
and sacred in human life.

Turning from your lands ro your nzanVaaures
and your commerce, I feel no less indignation at the
humiliating image of mercantile institution to a
Wtorioul, tyrant, by the surrender of y 'ur imple.
menu, and prostitution of the artificer.
When I explore, and with gr'ateful respeft, the:
diversities of rdigiout opinion which have separated,.
but, without enmity, our Protestant faith in this
part of the , world into Churchmen, Dissenters, or
Seaarier, competitors in zeal for,their tod and their
King,• I shudder at thc.exchange
.of that noble in..
dependence, upon so critic,d a subjea, for his
gion, who was an Atheist at ParisA at Rome a
Papio ; in Egypt a Mahornetat2 ;': a:military Pope
at Park again ; Jew in that Synagogue,
whoseimpreeations against this sand he has grate.
fully. accepted ; and a Icind of demi-god at the
city .gettes upots the. coast, which have told him,
" that after lir was created, Providence became
superlinouse'

When I look at the old families of this Country,
I am ton proud, for them, to endure the idea, that
birth, like theirs, c:an be ever bound in chains to
foreign despotism, or can ever grace the wheel' of
its triumph here.
When I look at the new men, whom•l revere no
less, and whose talents or labours have invested
them with claims. upon the sod, as well as the
,•ritarketi I call, upon them to sustain their double in.
terest, with undivided energy and spirit.
Y. 04 have an extent of coast, which,exPoses you,
in a peculiar .degree, to the Inyader's!itteMpt ; but
atif confident that he will not find one inch of that
coast wifcer,ified; I am not _-pointing at those hat.
niers Of, military art upon which intelligent Officers
may-have differed ; but,my allnsion is to the forts
and the redoubts of British (on/our, eretied in the
shape of t!, ..t valour alone, by men who determine
to be thi. 1,!!;t of the conquered; and who are sworn;
by a tacit oath, to refuse a gift so' despicable as that-
of life, at the expeoce of liberty, and. Of lidnonr.;
I•have been much gratifiCd in reading your Ad.
dress to the King. it was, prepared, as lam told,
by a Gentlernan who dues this 'Court' the honour
to be one of its Officers-',your present High Sheriff.
It is, in my conception of it, most eloquent, ant.
mated, and constitutional; it refleass the highest
honour upon the pen by which it was framed, and
upon the sense of the County by which it was
adopted into their signature.
I approve and commend your determination, to'
raise the Military complement of your Volunteers,
required by the law to exempt you from its coin.,
pulsory measures.
As to a Subscription for the general purposes of
countenance, and supply to this National obje&, and
for special exigencies that may bear upon it (whe-
ther contemp)ated or unforeseen) 'y'ou are the hest
judges of all such arrangements, and it would be
impertinence in me to ofPr advice. BOt with every
due submission to your better means of kuoWledge
I canna help suggesting whether it may not be
deemed, eligible, that a general Fund IMMO be
put into honourable hands for ,the !two. rt of the
Canst ; and that a more special one should be `ao,,
propriaied for the 'purpose of relief torthe-Witiws
anti Children of those born in this Cosoloy, who die 'I
in the field ; of relief to the Wounded and their
Families, or of' encouragement and _recompense to
extraordinary Merits and services an expedient
adopted in Westmorland by the sagacious- mind of
your Diocesao, the 13iihop of LLANDAFF. My view
'of it is, -that of considering it as an additionatspd
to the Volunteers.

We are all 'speculators 'And politiciam,, mo-
Ment like this, on the subjea of ti it coast which
"the invader is most likely to seleel. It appears to
rite thy:• safest coojeCture,. that his first impreision
will be upon the Sister Island. But there he will find
an impregnable forrress,in the memory of that re.
cent 'oentage, whick robbed an able and virtuous
Magistrate orlite,

The ways of providence inathis Ivorld are too mys-
teriOUS to be fathomed by the human intellect ; but
we know they are (because they must be) wise and
gand. History will tell us, that visitations upon
the innocent and meritorious often' have eroved, in
their effeCt, blessings of incalculMA4 'Utility. The
sword that WAS dipt in lucretia's blood gave Rome
its liberty, The massacreof the Nagostots at Paris
gave new energy to our Protestant faith in all parts
of the world. The judicial murder of Sydney, and
jefiriet's Campaign gave us the Revolution. The
internal outrage of that night, in Dublin, will be
an army of choripions against the foe, whose etuni.
mitt' was base enough to co-operate in the assassin's
work.
