"It is tvith regret I have to inform you, I
the Martin sloop of war was last night driven
shore (in a desperate gale) in Mull Bar. 1)e
ship is totally lost, but I am happy to add, th';
the greater part of the crew and all the Offic°,
are safe., The mizen-mast being cut al°:y
luckily fell with the mast head on a rock, wbic'
served as a gangway for them, and enabled tbeli
to reach the shore. Immediately on reccivin4
this intelligence, I dispatched cares
,with refresv
ments to the crew, who, 1 am informed, are to
most deplorable state."

to-clay, and had the honour of Alining with 11i5
Royal Highness., The spirits of the 14.Getvf:
though considered as improving during the t
fortnight, are yet much dei;ressed.

Mr. LEACH 'is positively stated in a Hornig;
Paper to have been appointed Vice-Chancellor'
None can doubt the high qualifications of this
Gentleman for any office of legal importance.
The report that Sir WILLIAM GRANT IS HIVO't
to resign the Mastership of the Rolls has been Te"
vived, but there is reason to doukt whether is iy
well-founded. Sir WILLIAM PLUMER is metitioir
t.d as the successor, in case the event should, rcailf
take place.

Mr. Serkiant BEST IS mentioned as' likely to 1)6
appointed Chief Jostle() of Chester.

THE THEATRE.-The revived entertainment of
Lilliput was represented again last night at
Drury-Lane Theatre, with such increased success,
as, perhaps, will obviate the necessity lot al.
allUnal Gambols of ale motley Hero of the Wooden
Sword.

The new Tragedy fottbcoming at Covent'
Garden, of which report speaks highly, is the
composition of a very juvenile Author. The ar
pearance of it has been delayed by the illness of
Mr. C. KEMBLE, which was at one time so alarm'
ing as to excite the most serious apprehensions
his family and friends.
ROYAI. ACADEM v.—The venerable Presint
yesterday !notating gave a Lecture to the Ste

the applicanon of those principles to the Art et
Painting. In the course of these Lectures he re'

_ .
EHITOR,--1-our insertion of the article
from The 43ritish Critic, on the Rheimish Testa-
ment, gave Os in -!his diitrict great pleasure. We
had heard much of the talent and spirit of that
_Review ; = but from -circumstances., perhaps purely
local, it was not much ttrotro amongst us, until
your vigilance and attention to this Vvr&t. QUES-
TION introduced it to 'ou• immediate notice.—
Since then we have ()heather! the New Series of
the Work, and we hope you will give your Readers
the benefit of further Extracts from it, on the
leading principles of the Constitution, as estab-
lished in 1688.—W e are mostly in this quarter
PROTESTANT Dissenters, .yet, notwithstanding, we
are feelingly alive to the absolute necessity of
maintaining inviolably " the Protestant Ascen-
dancy, " and .the establishment of the Constitu-
tion in CHURCH and STATE. You have, indeed,
fearlessly performed your duty, and you will doubt-
lessly reap that reward from your spirit and lode-,
pendance which is so peculiarly your (Inc.

The continuation of Extracts in your Paper
from The British Critic, and other Periodical
Works, whose Wtiters'are not :ashamed to avow
their attachment to, and determination to uphold,
the- genuine principles of this Protestant Consti-
tution and Government, cannot fail to produce
the most satisfactory results ; and as the period is
fast approaching when the Elective FranChise will
be in foil operation, it is to be expected the
Electors will follow the examplo of the persever-
ing Papists, and
make
such A STAND as will shake
the nerves of Triosa who ought to have known
better than to have trifled with " the quiet good
sense" of the Nation on this feeling point ! !
But " By their fruit ye shall-know them."

Foil THE sUN

MR. EDITOR,--It you think the underivrit ten
Letter deserving of a place in your valnabie Paper,
the insertion of it will oblige

A CONSTANT REAPER.

To JESSE FOOT. Esq.

Sue,—The public attention has been much ex-
cited by your leqer which has appeared in Tna
SUN, upon the lamented death of the late Princess
Charlotte It teas for a long time expected, in-
deed I believe promised, that some kind of reply
ishoold he given to that letter, on the part of the
medical men, from' whom alone it could be look-
ed for—some explanation of- the circumstances
that chiefly operated to cause
,an event which has
plunged a great nation in universal -sorrow.- Si-
lenre; however, seems to he the order of. the day
peibap:, ; for many a man passes for
wise till -he becins to speak.
The silence, hoWever, of these Gentlemen, is
not necessarily ao he fo!lowed by that of the MI.
Who have an undoubted right to inquire into
what so nearly and-vitally concerns them. It is
with a view to promote an enquiry of this nature
that ,1 venture to address the following queries,
thus publicly to yourself—under the hope that
from your professional skill and knowledge, such
ansuers may be elicited as shall throw some .light
Upon the subject :--
Were not the symptoms subsequent to delivery
—namely, the giddiness, anxiety, volubility, deli-
rium, nausea, and vomiting, plainlyindicative of
internal hemorrhage—so plainly as nut -to he mis- •
taken 'by any one the least conversant in mid-
wifery ? Could not these symptoms and their cause
have been in all human probability removed by
-the 'assistance of art skilfully employed ? •
I am led to make these inquiries by having just
met with an extract from a work lately published on
Internal 1-Immorrhage 5 this extract appears in the
London- 11e.dical and Physical Journal, for De-
Om symptoms
cernher, 181.7 jr states precisely
which indicate internal haemorrhage ; and, to my
poor judgment, it stateandoutely those which are
said to have accompanied the last hours of our
beloved princess--states them very nearly as they
are described in. the same Monthly Journal from
-whence the extracts were taken.
That Journal, a few,pages farther on, relates
the symptoms •of • this lamented case—among
Which also is decidedly placed, as one of the
ap-
pearances discovered.after death, above a pound of
coogula.
beg to call your attention, art.,l, that of the
Public, to this circumstance; you and they rwill
form your own judgment, whether all was done
which art could effect to save a life sa valuable to
all the nation.
