THE ARTS.

Mr SKRI.Torst, one of our first Engravers, has
made a very fine Print of the Pa INC 3 REGENT,
from the admirable Portrait by Mr. PHILLips
which is altogether the best resernhlahce of his
Royal flighne.is that has hitherto been seen.—
The countenance displays all animated dignity,
and the attitude is easy and grac,fol... 14,,
gra,er has certainly ilone jiwice to. the Picture,
as far as can be accomplished without the aid of
colouring.

Mr. 'JACKSON has recently painted a Head of
Mr. SMITH, the respectable Veteran of the Stage,
who now nearly approaches his ninetieth year.—
The likeness is exact, and the countenance
is marked by that manly spirit and unaffected
good humour which always characterized the ve-
nerable Original, and which time has not ef-
faced. , The Artist went to But y St. Edmund's,
by desire of Sir GEORGE I3BAUMoNT, in order to
paint this Portrait, to whom it belongs. Those
who remember the acting of Mr. SMITH
will be gratified in hearing that an excellent
Mezzotinto hint has betin made from this Por-
trait by Mr. WILLIAM WARD, and Lovers
of the Drama will be g!ad to possess so good a
Likeness of a Gentleman whose talents. and attain-
ments qualified him to be an ornainrilt of the
Stage, as well as of private life. Listo be re-
gretted, howeyer, that there is no faithful Por-
trait of this Gentleman, taken i,r the injure of
life, as he was evidently formed by NarvElS in a
kind disposition.

Mr. and Mrs. (BIANCEII) LACY, to the regrvt
of the Musical Circles, are about to take their
departure fur India. Their own talents would
doubtless he a sufficient recommendation, but we
understand that they go under the most poivertol
pitronage. Such Piformers cannot but prove
highly gratifying to our Eastern connections, and
are well calculated to improve the musical taste
ache country.

LONDOI'..I JOURNALS;

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Post.]
We regret to hear' that a general dissatisfac-
tion prevails throughout the provinces of New.
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, at Poole and at
Dartmouth, and among the commercial hou,e's
engaged in the trade to Newfoundland, ft OM the
total ahandonment, in the late Treaty with the
United States, of the British interests connectf d
with the Fisheries of Newfoundland, the Labra-
dor, and .onl the coasts of British North America.
Why such ruinous concessions have heed made ft?
the citizens.ot the Uuited States we do not know.
If the 'Treaty which has appeared in the Ameri-,
can newspapers is correct, these sacrifices base
been made without any national equivalent what-
ever, and wit hont any pretence for them. The,
effect which the publication of this Treaty has
produced is most iljutions, as the Newfoundland
houses are, if we are correctly informed, in conse-
quence of it, withholding their. Spring shipments,
whilst those engaged in the Trade to Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick, particularly in the articks
for the Fisheries, are doing the grille. Several
cargoes of salt,- which were ordered, have been•
countermanded, and the general depression telt in
those 'circles is most grievous. To the King's
American Provinces this Treaty is calamitous ; it
will check their agriculture, depress their ener-
gies, and lead them to conclude their prosperity,.
welfare, and interests, are disregarded at home.
It is to be lamented that, in the progress of this
infatuated Treaty, the houses connected with
Newfoundland and the Colonies were not resort-
ed to for information on this subj,tt ; if they had,
those concessions would never have been made.
\Vc hope it is not too late to :prevent many of the
evils which will otherwise be produced by this
Treaty, and that the Legislature will pause befote!
they sanction such a sacrifice'of great national in-
terests. But until the official copy of the Tteaty
is betore;t he Public., we shall not enlarge upon it,
contenting ourselves with the reinask, that it ap-
pears to its!, though hour recollection only, duet
the " North-western coast of Newfoundland," •
whit!' was ceded by Ti eaty to France, is by the
recent Treaty with America likewise given up to
the citizen's of the United States ! It it is so, we

Great improvements ar►d alterations are taking
place in a most important branch of the Revenue
Department. It is finally arranged and now act-
ing neon at the Custom-house, that none but effi-
cient and capable persons shall continue to hold
~fficial stations. In the several cases of involun-
tary retirement from office, ra liberal plan is
adopted,,the allowance being handsome and satis-
factory. A complete change has occurred in one
particular department ot the Custom-Louse; some
of the water-side officers were accused of taking
fees from the Ca pia inS of ships, at the time of
clearing the vessels of their cargoes, contrary to
the intent anti meaning of tire Act of Parliament,
passed in the year 1806, for the abolition of all
Customs fees, excepting a few tolerated in the
Long Room at the Custom-house ; the proof of
ti►e taking of fees was esaablisherl by the acknow•
ledgment of some of the parties accused, and on
a further investigation it was discovered that more
than 80 persons were implicated in the malprac-
tices. So large a number, in full employment,
caused considerable embarrassment as to the dis-
posal and punishmer►t ot the offending partie►;
hopes were entertained of something like a gene-
ral amnesty being extended toward• them, espe-
cially as the service of the Revenue could not but
experience some inconvenience from such all
ex-
tensive and sudden dismissal ; these hopes, how-
ever, have been destroyed by the decided opinion
of the Law Officers, that no pardon could be
safely extended. With this opinion before them,
the —Lords of the Ticasuty have determined
upon the dismission of 81 official persons, in.
eluding the waternten, with the tide surveyors, Fee.
Tire salaries of the latter are individually 2001.

age, and at this moment affords a fine opportunity
to bestow favours upon meritorious Offreers in the
Army or Navy, and thus secure to the Revenue ac-
tive, intelligent, snd faithful servants.—(ibid.)

Advices from Jamaica to the 29(11 of January
have been received. They state the arrival at
Kingston of the schooner Juliana from Angus-
tura, the Captain of which reported, that just
before he sailed a report had reached that place of
" the Royalists having been defeated and Cumana
captured on • the 28th of December ; and that a
great number of Morillo's troops had deserted
and repo ired to the standard of the Independents."

THE TRIMLESTON,CAUSE.

LLOYD V. TRI NIL EST° v.

This very important case,- which had for 12
days occupied so large a share of legal argument
and investigation, in the Court of Common Pleas,
was decided at eleven o'clock last night by the
Jury which had been engaged in the dclibefation
on it from Saturday evening, giving in their ver-
dict in favour of Lord Titudeston. The terms in
which the Jury delivered in the verdict were—.
" That the paper, brering date the 801 of De-
cember, 1812, is not the last will and testament
of the late Lord Tritulesfon."

Judge Moons, by cont,elit of both parties, took
the decision of -the Jury on Sunday(last ,night),
in order to prevent the necessity of their limb-tr.
