Mr. EDITOR—The connection between Radical
Reform and Deiim has already been plainly
"i"eed by the countenance which was lately af-
fOrded to the 1-I,igh Priest of the one by the
Champion of the other. Were it doubtful, the
follott.ing tact, which I enga.ge to prove, if Ws
Majesty's Attorney-General shall think fit, will
convince any tn4ll who is not radically niad that
1)410yolty and Deism are twin monsters. Are they
1)"1 also the hideons spawn of a licentious Press ?

SPAtN.—Letters and Papers from Madrid to the
13lb, and from Cadiz to the 6111 instant, have been
received, The mnst imporant fact communicated
'ff them is, that 6000 Spanish troops, which,
Ivith others, surrounded the infected places, to
Prevent the yellow fever from spreading into
the interior, bud suddenly broke the cordon,

-I;,k'ed al Santa Olalla, a small villages but finding
that so large a force could not obtain accommo-
'Ltlion.in so small a place, they had proceeded to
Cassilis, a pretty considerable town farther op the
country. The inhabitants taking alarm at the
approach of so large a body of men, and dreading
scarcity of provisions, had armed themselves in
-Order to-prevent their entering ; but in marr to
it‘."irl corning toextremities,aDeputationfronl Gas..
;
remonstrated with the officers, and the troops
consequence halted. The advices state, that this
n+lexpected movemeint of the military arose from
the want of provisions, which they could not pro-
'lre in the neighbourhood of Cadiz, and were
2
ri!ecssariiv compelled to seek supplies ekewhere,
yellow fever at Cadiz and other places, had, in
,-.▪ 111 measure, diminished. 'lle eases of fever did
.rot

GII..!ND NATIONAL SERIES OF MEDALS.

Ma. Eorroa---In all new undertakings, and
more especially in those in which there is acknow-
ledged to exist very considerable difficulties, it is
natural that various coojeetores must arise, and
diversity of opinions will be held, as to the pro-
bability of the success of the enterprise, from a
consideration of the ability with which it has been
planned, and the skill of those engaged in carry-
ing it into effect. Few enterprizes of its kind en-
gaged more of the Public attention' than Mr.
MUDICS Series of Medals, to Commemorate the
most Rentarkable Events of the late War; nor
could it he otherwise, when it addressed itself to
every feeling that beat in proud and lofty unison
with all the noble principles, and the splendid ge-
nerosity,,aod the heroic energy, which led to that
tremendous appeal to arms, and distinguished its
progress, and crowned its close. Burt to awaken
the attention, and to obtain the warmest good-
seishes of those competent to judge of the merits
of an undertaking is one thing, arid to devise the
manner and to discover the means for carrying it
'onto execution, is another ; and while those whose
love of their Country's honour, arid whose admi-
ration of tire Fine Arts, both of which were
equally interested in it, highly approved and zea-
lously supported Mr. MU DI es 1)1(1)0841 to strike
a Series of National Medals, they could not dis-
guise from themselves the many difficulties which
would occur in its progress, aloe could they shut
their eyes to the probability that they were too
numerous to be overcome, anti that the chances
were more inclining to failure than to .success
The very great expense of engraving die's, procur-
ing designs, atol fabricating the Menials, was a
serious consideration ; but a yet mote difficult
part of the undertaking was to procure Artists to
engrave the dies, for so much has this splendid,
hut difficult and laborious department of the Arts
been neglected in England, that it was almost neces-
sary to create a School to carry his plans into ext.
Collo!), and the result has shewn, that in whatever
department of tire Arts patronage is afforded, Bri-
tish Talent will never be wanting to dispute the
palm of excellency with all the World ; but to
withold encouragement till Genius is driven into
other countries and pursuits, and then to wonder
tfOlt it cannot be found, and to calumniate native
ability, when censnre is alone due to its Oven want
of foresight and patriotism, is not peculiar only
to our own times and our own comory ; and to
have refitted such air aspersion one the Medallic
retiown of Britain, is equally honourable and me-
ritorious in Mr. Monte. To these discourage-
ments was yet to be added, the little support Mr.
Moore could expect until Iris Series was complet-•
act, as few persons will come .forward without
knowing what the plan will .produce ; and even
when the commencement ,promises well, we fear
the conclusion may be very different, and prefer
waiting, that we may decide with certainty and
safety.' In spite of tall these discooragements, and
through all these diffieulties,Mr.Munta has toiled
on with great and persevering success ; and no
doubt, I trust can remain, that be has now only
to t»ake it known that the Series, is completed to
obtain the: public attention ti) his undertaking,
and when that attention is obtained, their merits,
both for design and execution, as specimens of
- the Fine Arts, aunt as Historlcal Records of the
most Remarkable Events of our most eventful
Era., will ensure a liberal support.

MISSMACAULEY.—TiIiS Lady, who, as we have
befme observed, possesses taleivs which would
tender her an ornament to the Stage in the Comic
as well as Tragic Province, trot whose met its are
strangely overlooked by the Managers, delivered
au Andress on Tuesday last, to a very respectable
assembkge nt Lioli'es and Gentlemen, at Shade's
Concert Rooms, Soho-square. The purpose was
to propose an institution, instructive and enter-
taining, in order to give examples ot -elocu-
tion, by recitation of original and other com-
posiiious of a moral and interesting nature, to
order to train the rising generation into a vie-
t lions contse of action, and to excite a taste for
literary amusemenis The Lady detailed her plan,
which seemed to be judiciously formed, and de-
livered it with such energy and appropriate ex-
pre;,.juu, as justly excited universal and reiterated
applause. We heartily wish success to her enter-
prize.
BIiIGHTON, OCT. 26.—The PRINCE REGENT,
about halt au hour alter noon to-day, was on
horseback, accompanied by the Right Hon. Sir B.
Bloomfrefil, and inhaling the salutary breeze on
the Western Downs. It teas soon known that
his Royal Highness was in public, and the car-
riages of Nobility, pursuing a similar route, were
presently in motion, while tonish equestrians of
both sexes increased in number, and sought the
field. The scene altogether was as brilliant as
and every symptom of attachment and
respect that could be manifested in the fleet-
ing rencontres„ 't as shown to his Roy,' High-
ness, who answered them with an affability and a
dignity peculiarly his own. lu truth tee never re-
collect to have seen the Regent in better appa-
rent health and spirits.
