GENERAL ORDER.

Horse-Guards, 10th Juiy, 1821.
The Commander-in-Chief has observed, that in some in-.
stances Lieutenant-Colonels of Regiments have taken upon
themselves to infringe his Majesty's Regulations, and to neglect
the Injunctions contained in the Adjutant General's Circular
of the 28th April, 1810, by altering the Form and Make of the
Clothing of the Soldiers from the Patterns established by the
King's Order, which are annually set to each corps; and his
Royal Highness feels it incumbent upon him to visit a practice
so unbecoming and improper with his marked censure and dis-
pleasure.
In proportion as the Reduction of the Staff' may limit the
means of regular Inspections, his Royal Highness would expect
from Commanding Officers of Corps an adherence to the Or-
ders of the Army, corresponding with the increased confidence
reposed in them ; but if it should prove that this confidence is
not justified, his Royal Highness will undoubtedly act upon the
assurancenow given, that he will submit to the King, for re-
moval from the Service, any Commanding Officer who shall
deviate,, in the least particular, from his Majesty's Regulations
for the Clothing and Equipment of the Troops. •
By the Commander in Chief's Command,
H. TORRENS, Adj.-Gen.

ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY.-The town of
Gravesend was on Thursday last the scene of
much bustle in consequence of an elopement
which took place between an Officer, said to be in
the Guards, and the daughter of a General. An
attachment had subsisted for some time between
the parties; their union, however, was opposed
by the family of the young Lady, who deter-
mined to prevent it by sending her to the East
ladies. She was put on board a vessel lying off
Gravesend, in company with her father and bro-
thers, and was to have sailed on the following
day. Her lover, by some means, gained infor-
mation of her situation, and hastened to the scene
of action with a determination of making an effort
to recover his fair one. Hesucceeded in convey-
ing a request to her that she would hold herself
in readiness to escape, if a boat with certain
marks should approach the ship. About seven
in the evening he started in disguise, with four
dexterous rowers, and as he neared the ship, be
perceived with his glass, the young Lady walking
the deck ; he boldly approached, and in an in-
stant the fair damsel, in the presence of her
father and brothers, .who had not the slightest
suspicion that such a coup de main was in con-
templation, slipped down the side of the vessel,
and was carried off. They were quickly pursued
to Gravesend;where they were delayed in pro-
curing post hqrses,, and fortune once more ap-
geared to be against them. The father and bro-
thers accidentally entered the very house where
the fugitives were, and insisted that the Lady-
should be given up. By this time the circum-
stances of the case were all known in the town.
and it was intimated to the Captain by some of
the resident watermen, who are always upon the
look-out for what they term 1 a lark," that when
all was ready, he should not be prevented from
carrying off the object of his wishes. A chaise
and four was soon procured, when a determined
scuffle took place ; might however overcame right,
and again had the friends the mortification of
seeing the Lady fly before their faces. They
were quickly followed in London, and traced as
far as Charing-cross, where no further clue could
be gained to guide pursuit. The Lady is young,
and of very interesting ,appearance. Her lover
was well supplied with money.

(No. XXXII.)

CHOIX DE VUES PITTORESQUE ; i. e. A SELEC-
TION OF PICTURESQUE VIEWS, by the Viscount
DE SENoNNES, Member of the Royal Institute of France.
Livraison I. and 11. Large Folio. Pans, 1821.

Although picturesque travels have multiplied
of late years, that of the Viscount de Senonnes
is distinguished by a character of originality.
Hitherto works of this description have been
confined each to one particular country ; all the
views taken could not be equally beautiful, and
to complete the collection it became necessary
to admit many of secondary interest.
The Viscount de Senonnes, whose taste and
talent are worthy of being exercised on the truly
beautiful, does not stop within the range of any
single country, but travels over Italy, France,
Switzerland, and Spain, four of the most interest-
ing portions of the universe, and produces suc-
cessively, with his elegant and faithful pencil,
all that is remarkable in each of them, as well
with respect to their monuments and architec-
tural remains as their external appearances, but
most frequently in the representation of objects
on which nature and art have bestowed their
united and choicest gifts.
If the idea .which inspired the "Selection of the
Picturesque Views be singularly happy, the exe-
cution of this vast design far surpassed our ut-
most expectations, though coming from so- distiw
guished an author as the Viscount de Senonnes,
who, by the union of- the most fraternal arts,
knows at the same time how to handle the pen,
the pencil, and the graver. As to the typogra-
phical part of the work, it is enough to say that
it is 'one of the chefs d'ruz're from the press'of
irmin llidot.

The author begins his picturesque_ pilgrimage
in Italy he owed his first obeisance, the tribute
of his first designs, to this classic land of the
arts, to this country where nature seems to have
exalted herself to the very acme of sublime emu-
lation. Hence arises between her pi-id the vota-
ries of the tine arts a kindred inspiration; and
this was, no doubt, the exquisite charm with
which Madame de Stael wished to inspire her
readers, when she associated with all the senti-
ments of her heroine the different impressions
produced by the prospects and monuments of
Italy. In the days of her glory and happiness,
'Corinna saw her forehead crowned with laurels
and flowers radiating beneath the beautiful sky
of Parthenope; but in the hour of sorrow and
regret, she repaired for consolation to the ruins
and tombs which cover this immortal country of
recollections.

It is said, that Tasso, admiring one day from
the summit of the Appennines this Italy, so ma-
jestic and so charming, said to a friend who ac-
companied him—" Look at that sea bright with
Izure, those deep forests, those foaming torrents!
Behold those fragrant groves, those limpid
streams, anti fresh cascades ! They are my
poem." In fact, all that inspired the poet of
Sorento was Present; so great is the influence of
Italian scenery on lively and tender imaginations!
But who speaks better of Italy than the
Viscount de Senonnes himself ? The spirit of
the canvas breathes while he writes. g' Whereis
the country," says he, " that abounds more in the
gifts of Nature ! and what riches has not the ge-
nius of man added to them !--By the side of these
immense ruins, cotemporaries of the grandeur of
the people-king, rise in all directions edifices
Witnesses of the glory of another age : and ele-
gant buildings, still more modern, strangers
doubtless to the principles of the art, but which
do not the less disclose in the artizan who con-
structed them an original and graceful genius.
Here, mountains of au imposing appearance are
seen; there, vallies covered with the richest vege-
tation ; farther on, the traveller admires by turns
either the surface of a clear and tranquil lake,
or the roaring of a torrent which dashes foaming
on a bed of rocks; now the richest variety of
cultivation enchants his sight, and presently he
looks with horror at a bleak and savage spot
which seems condemned to everlasting sterility :
Ifut every where the prospects are grand, every
-Where an imposing spectacle agitates the heart,
warms the imagination ; and that nothing may
be wanting in this favoured laud, a clear and
serene sky gives him, during the greatest part of
the year, a constant succession of brilliant days
and of delightful nights, whose mild light has
something in it still more charming."

-The first plate represents a vies; of the village
of St. Ambrosio, near Snip.. The square tower
in ruins, which serves as the entrance gate of this
village, is commanded by a rock, on the peak of
which are the remains of a deserted abbey. From
this place the prospect is admirable : the eye
plunges into the gloomy and savage defiles, sur-
mounting the tops of the Alps covered with snow,
and reaches over a fertile plain watered by the
l'o, the Doria, and the Stura, from the bosom of
which, in a superb back ground, rises Turin with
her beautiful edifices and delicious gardens.—The
second view of the first plate gives the aspect of
the village of Rivoli near the high road. On the
left is the Castle of Sera, in which Victor- Arne-
dens died of grief after his abdicatiOn.

The second platy represents several handsome
buildings, some on the banks of the Po near
Piacenza, and others in the A ppennines.
In the succeeding plates the it peous pencil
of M. de Senonnes has delineate de town of
Sienna, built on the top of a mountain, which
gives to the edifices of this pretty town lightness
elegance, and towering height. Then follows,'
in the midst of a district of expiring vegetation,
the village of Radicofani, built, according to all
appearance, on the crater of an old volcano.
Nature puts on in these places somewhat of a
frightful and terrible appearance ; but her savage
pomp and silent mourning are not devoid of at-
traction. Soon the eye is consoled on beholding
the charming country and the variety of scenery
-which abound at Aquapendente, Bolsena, Viter-
bo, and Ronciglione.

The lover of the fine arts now reaches the
gates of the Eternal City ; he treads the sacred
way on which marched the victors of the world,
and a strong emotion affects his heart. " The
impressions," says he, " which we experience on
approaching Rome, cannot be described or com-

municated. So many thoughts clash, so many'
recollections arise, and so many sentiments suc-
ceed each other, on this theatre, famed for its
glory, vicissitudesyand catastrophes, that the mind
cannot grasp, much less analyze, the crowd of
emotions which agitate it in presence of this
antient capital of the universe. The first emotion,
however, which we can describe after having
travelled over part of the Campagna di Roma,
formerly so fertile, and now so desolate, is near-
er allied to melancholy than to admiration : these
desert fields, divested of verdure, full of deep
and long furrows, and quite uninhabited, only
remind us of the resentment excited by the glory
of arms, and the vengeance which is sure to fol-
low it. On whatever side we look, we discover
nothing but ruins; here and there a few monu-
mental remains are still to be seen, as if, of all
those towns, palaces, and edifices, which formerly
decorated the approaches to the mistress of the
world, death had only spared those monuments
which were dedicated to her own service."

The greater number of the plates of the second
livraison, contain views of the finest edifices of
Rome; among them is that of the superb church
of St. Andrew, built by order of Pope Julius 111.,
in commemoration of his fortunate escape, on that
Saint's day, from the soldiers of the constable
de Bourbon.

Almost all the artists who have designed the
church of St. Peter, have represented it detached
from the adjoining edifices. M. de Senonnes
was of opinion that the gigantic proportions of
this superb basilick, would be shown to better
advantage, seen from a certain distance and con-
trasted with other monuments ; and this judicious
idea led him to take the view of the basilick of
St. Peter from the bridge of 'St. Angelo. The
appearance of this edifice, which the genius of
Michael Angelo has suspended in the air, is truly
admirable from this picturesque point of view.
The tomb of Hadrian, that magnificent monument
of pride, sinks into nothing in presence of
radiant dome, which covers the pomp, mysteries,
and sovereignty of christianity. B.
