The destription of this picture in the Ctattlogue i 9, compa-

We infer that this sketch is the original draught of a.larger
worlt. We wish the Artist had not Milked to it the epithet of
finiilted, as it is less recommended by mechanical excellence
it:tin any of i•is productions that we have yet seen. In fact„
it is very louse and indeterminate. Whether it was'the taste of
Mr. Score and his familyiu he represented in a kind of rustic
character, or of the Antist,,we know not; but we do not ap-
.prove of the-adoption. Mr. SCOTT is. deservedly conspicuous
for originality of talents, and as his productions Will be ad-
mired by posterity, it would have been most proper to give a
faithful portrait. of him in his general appearance, and the
same may be said respecting his family, as an interest roust
necessarily be attached to every hodk.nearly connected with
We would advirle the ingenious Artist, wino chews by
Nu. 110 that his mechanical skill is unabated, to take advan-
tit;e of the intervals of a public EXhibition to go over this

give it a just claim to the epithet of fiitislied, fur it is cer-
tainly by no means entitled to that epithet at present.

If, we are rightly informed, this Artist was a pupil of the
late Mr. OPIE, and if so, he does credit to his master. There
are generally to he found in his works, traces of the strength
.44f his tutor, mingled with a lighter elczance of character.
OPIE
.chiefly ct►ltivated strong expression,- and produced
powerful effects. He judiciously followed the direction of
genius.—lf Mr. TEIMSON had adhered to the manner of his
instructor, whatever excellence he might have attained, he
would have 1 been congidered as a copiest, hut he wisely re-
tained much of what he bad learned, and then obeyed the
imoulseof his own taste and talents. This work is pleasing
in:the general • impression. - It is recommended by a light-
tone of colouring, and is remarkable for ►ts contrast with
the generally massive shadows of our Portrait-painting.

A Flanders Mail arrived yesterday evening witb
Brussels Papers to Friday last. The following
are Extracts

LAUSANNr, JUIN 3.-6-,Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, the British
Minister to the Confederation, sets out to-morrow from his
country house, near Lausanne, to be present at the opening
of the Diet at Bern.

ANTwcur, JULY 13.—Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock,
there was a terrible affray between some cannoniers, soup:
Swiss, and some firemen ; three cannoniers were wounded,
one so desperately, that it is said he died this morning, the
two others are in the hospital.

Bausslits, JULY 16.—The last accounts from Italy, France,
Germany, Russia and Poland agree in saying, that the harvest
is every where most promising; ours is equally so.
STUTGARD, JULY 10.—His MAJESTY has just issued an Or-
dinance relative to the inoculation of the Vaccine. Every
child born since the 31st of December, 1816, shall be vac-
cinated before he has completed his third year, unless lie has
already had the small pnx. If the operatio❑ does not suc-
ceed the first time, it shall be repeated once, or even twice,
if necessary, after an interval of three months between each
operation, unless a physician declares that it is not advisable.
Parents who neglect to have their children vaccinated to pay
30 kreuzers per annum for every child not vaccinated, who is
still susceptible of catching the small-pox; after the age of
14, the penalty to increase 30 kreuzers annually.
No person born since Dec. 31, 1816, shall be admitted into
any orphan-house, seminary, school, lyceum, university, &c.
&c. unless he prove that he is not susceptible of taking the
small-pox, or submit to be vaccinated. No person to perform
the operation without special licence. Voccine Establish-
ments to be formed toafrord .facilities to parents and diminish

TfIE FESTIVAL OF ,ACTION,

we have been favoured with a little history of
114. late Jacobin Dinner at the Crown and Anchor,
j'hieli the Reformers have not been very willing
t:"" } divulge ; but our Readers may rely on its an-
;uticity :—.When the doors were opened for the
"NI.), mob, who had paid their thirteen and
I)2tice for the pleasure of a two hours kicking
likir heels on the stairs, not above fifty persons
Previously seated in a room capable of hold-
14t seven hundred. The preference, however,
i'ti'nfled the Sons of Equality, who very fairly
Iliuught that Sir FRANCIS and his Associates should
Pr'letiee as well as preach. The tumult was ter-
:6e '`several fellows presented themselves, roar-
and covered with blood ; the token of their
battleaon the stairs. Glasses, dishes, and decanters
Were trodden to dust oaths, reproaches, and
threats, were vociferated in the true reform stile,
I"ileh the loudest notes of the orchestra could
not subdue. The Geminen very properly refused
friends'
"MPrnmise, by taking Sir FitaNcts's and his
"lends' chairs : the exclusion was the offence,
"ie Preference was the insult. Nothing, in short,
but the fear of a Row being laid hold of kept these
Id iberiY Boys quiet :---that consideration alone
;
•tlurted them to pocket the affront, and pay thir-
tTtta
een and sixpence for no dinnrr. So much for
DEcExcv OF JACOBINISM !!! And these are
rie Men to whom Sir FRANCIS had the presuity-
tl(4) and folly to attempt to refute the sound doc-
tines and ire
efragable arguments of Mr. CANNING,
144iiist a scene of drunken revelry and riot ! !

A SHIP BURNT AT SEA:

A New York Paper of the 16th nit. says—
" The brig Poacher, Captain Maecoest, arrived
at Boston on Wednesday, in fifty-five thys front
Liverpool, Via fl'ayal, and furnishes the following
retail of the loss of the Solon, by lightning :
" April 25th, tell in with the ship Solon, Stod-
dart, front London for New York, with hemp,
dry goods, copper, &c. which had been struck
with lightning the evening previous and set on
fire, in lat, 40 16. long. 27. then twenty days
out. Took off the passengers, twenty-seven
in number, and crew, amounting in all to thirty-
eight, and shortly after the fire burst through the
deck, and we saw the masts go over the side.—
The tollowiug account of the disaster, furnished
by a passenger, agrees with the minutes made on
the log-book, with which we have also been fa-
voured O the 27th of April, at nine o'clock,
P. M. a body of lightning struck the ship, attend-
ed by a singular explosion, disordering every
thing in its passage down the mainmast ; the
Captain, with many others on the upper deck,
were at once knocked down. On the middle deck
the same effect was produced, yet in either case
no lives were lost. immediately columns of smoke
rose from the hold through every aperture; and such
was the strength of the devouring matter, that it
must at the same instant have set fire to every part of
the cargo which was liable to take fire from it. In
this emergency the thickness of the smoke became
such as to prevent further respiration. All rushed
on deck in confusion—the lightning still bursting
forth, so that the whole sea appeared like a fur-
nace. Here was one of the most distressing scenes
that ever was witnessed ; the most part of the
people half naked, and it being impracticable
to return for their clothes, and with no more
of the necessaries of life than would be re-
quired for about two days' subsistence.—
lu this state we continued till' next day
about eleven o'clock, when the brig Poacher, Cap-
tain Malcolm, appeared in sight, and ultimately
saved our lives. The last boat had scarcely
reached the brig when the Solon's mizen-mast
fell by the hoard, and the main-mast followed its
about half an hour after. At this time the limes
had burst out in every direction, so that Pio.
vidence had sent this vessel to our aid at a most
critical moment. So great a number of persons be-
ing added to those already on board the Poacher,
she having before seven passengers, it became ne-
cessary to mike for the Western Islands, for wa-
ter and provisions. We arrived at F'ayal on the
Ist of May, where every attention was paid to
our wants by Mr. Darney, the American Consul,
end other persons, particularly Messrs. Searle,
Parker, Bayley, and Correa.'—Three of the So.
lon's passengers here went on hoard the ship
Norfolk, for London ; seven of the passengers and
crew on board the schooner Prudence, Legget,
for Halifax ; and the remainder base arrived at
this port iu the Poacher. We understand that
the Solon bad on hoard a cargo valued at
nearly 200,0001. including about 90,000/. worth
of drugs. She was a fine ship, newly coppered.",

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

WORCESTER, JULY 17.—The prices are rather
lower, the average being now from 201 to 221.
A letter from the neighbourhood of Leominster
says that the hops continue to grow, and are re-
markably clean ; indeed where the bine is strong
there is every prospect of a fair crop ; in some
places the bine is so weak, that little produce can
be expected.

Most Affecting and Mtisterious Case.—We rejoice
to announce that another individual has been
rescued from an ignominious death by the
benevolent interposition of those friends to hu-
manity, the Honourable Mr. BENNET and Alder.
man WooD, under the following circumstances :
In March last, as the above Gentlemen were in-
vestigating the case of the boys KELLY and SPICER,
a young man, named Gao. MATTHEWS, who was
then recently convicted of a capital offence, for rob-
bing his master, addressed them; and, from the com-
munications he made, they were impressed with an
idea of his innocence; whereupon Mr. Alderman
Wool) undertook to investigate the mysterious
transaction, and be devoted several days in exa-
mining various persons acquainted with facts Con-
nected with the young man's case, and the 'result
decidedly proved his innocence. Upon this,
Alderman WOOD had all th►e evidence collect-
ed, and a memorial prepared and laid before
Lord SIDMOUTH. The unfortunate lad remained
confined in irons in the condemned cells, mixed
with felons of the worst description, tor nearly
three months, until the worthy Alderman, at his
own risk, ordered his irons to be taken off, and
he was removed to another part of the prison,
and placed among a better class of prisoners.—
Thus had this young man, though ultimately prov-
ed innocent, and with the best of characters from
all the respectable families where he had lived,
been tried, sentenced to die, and confined in the
prison of Newgate near seven months, when on.
the Recorder's making his last Report, a day or
two since, his Royal Highness the Prince Regent
was most graciously pleased to grant him a tree.

ANOTHER AFFRAY AT PARTS:

Tl,c following- Letter from Fiance details the
particular, of another-Fracas in the French C,ipi-
tal

" PARIS, JULY 14.—A serious afft ay took place
here a very few days ago, between thrue English
Gentlemen and two French Officers of the King's
guard. lam happy, however, to say, that it
ended witi:out bloodshed, although with much
abuse on both sides. The particulars that have
come to my knowledge are-these, Captain Vats.
treallier, a French Officer, was paying his ad-
dresses to' a' young Lady of respectability in am
English family resident in this city, where Messrs.
11—, ll—, and A— visited. Captain V-- be-
gin to be jealous of certain attentions he fan-
cied that Mr. H-- was paying to Miss L--:
at first, it is said, that Captain V-- remon-
strated, but whether the tact was that the Lady
preferred her countryman, it is certain that she
pretendtd to resent his suspicions conduct, and

in return appeared to give some encouragement
to .them, by receiving Mr. LI-- with more than
ordinary civility. The French officer coald not
endure the slight, but waited an opportunity (in
company with a ft iend, also in the army), of in-
4ultine, Mr. This he did on the Botile
vat:if, near the Rue de la Pair, by Trampling on is
toes Mr [l7-- was in company will, ti, friends

was supported by his companion, hut the Eng-
lish ‘vvre soon victorious. The consequences
nave been tt.at Capt. Vautreullier sent a chal-
lenge to Mr. and his two friends, and_ ,
,neeting was accordingly appointed. Three duels
were fought by the -French Officer with Messrs.
and A--, but rie did not suc—

self hurt, although a part of the feather of his cap
was shot away hv the bi.l) of Mr.

CORONERS' INQUESTS.

SvicinE.—Yesterday an Inquisition was taken
at the Black Horse, High-street, Shadwell, on
the body of Mrs. Theodosia Stout, aged -40, who
put a period to her existence by hanging herself.
appeared, from the evidence of Mr.. George
Hawker, of Hi►;h-street, Shedwell, brother-in-
law to the deceased, that the deceased's husband,
Captain Stout, had been from home at sea,
,for a
hingth of' time, which seemed to prey upon her
mind very much ; he observed her of late to be•
in a very melancholy state ; she would at intervals
act in a manner like a .mad woman, by entertain-
ing an opinion that thieves were coming to her
house to rob her, and, take her child away from
her. On Thursday night-the deceased, thinking
thieves were coming, ran up stairs to her cham-
ber, and' remained there a considerable time,
which led witness to go and ascertain• the cause.
On opening .the door of the apartment, he found
the deceased suspended by a cord, one end of
which was tied round her neck,, and the other to
the bed-post ; he cut her down, and sent for• Mr.
Blake, a surgeon, but she was quite dead. Wit-
ness is of opinion, that she committed the act
herself, not being at the time in a state of'sountl.
wind. Verdict---Bung hermit in aVote of Insanity.

CHARACTER OF MR. CURRAN.

As a Lawyer, Mr. CURRAN had read sufficient,
perhaps, for his a vn purposes and those of his
clients. It is not here meant to insinuate that he
possessed the depth and research •of a COK.B, in
one age, or the erudition and patience of a HAR-
GIiAVII, in Hoot her ; but it ought to be recollect-
ed that his practice, more especially of late years,
was chitfly connected with the criminal haw ,and
Nisi Prius cases. The qualification alhidtd to
seems, indeed, to be less attended to in the
sister kingdom, than with us. We not 'infre-
quently find a Judge there condescending to crack
a joke s►n the bench, or uttering a pun, on an oc-
casion that would have produced additional gluon►
and gravity on the brows of our criminal J miges.
Indeed we have been told,. that'a certain. veils of
humour, frequent and apposite quotations front
the Classics, with a disposition to diverge and
declaim, are often tolera►ed in the gravest speeches
at the Irish bar.

• In cross-questioning an unwilling evidence, in
detecting the sinister motives of the informer, in
discovering the character of a injured witness,
no one is allowed to have exhibited superior acute-
nets ; in Iris eloquent appeals both to the
heart and understanding, he •was frequently ena7
bled to display the ascendency of powerful !dents,
so as to appal guilt, and render innocence tri7
umphant, with unutterable- force and effect. Thus,
if the opinion of his•conntrvmen and coniempo:
navies be correct, he must•have occupied an ex-
alted istatirkn, on these occasions, in the eyes of,
-tl►e people of Ireland. He could he no common •
man indeed, who, uniting two great and distinct
qualtties,. usually disjoined in others, in his own,
person, could at one and the same time display
the technical skill of a GARROW, and the persua-•
sive:and overpowering, eloquence of an ERSKINR.

By a letter from Madr
t,►enee has heel] received
Spanish convoy from tl

id, dated July 2, intelli-
)f the sate arrival of the

he Havanna), consisting

of 25 ships, which entered the port of Cadiz on
the 28th June. The cargoes and merchandise
brought by this convoy are said to be extremely
valuable.

Accounts have been received from Teneriffe,
stating, that the Spanish convoy with troops,
which latelyielt Cadiz, had brought up. in the
harbour of the above Island, where one of the
_ _

frigates had been condemned as not sea-worthy.
A great scarcity of provisions prevailed through-
out the whole fleer, tor. the public coffers at
Cadiz were so low, that proper supplies had not
beet) furnished. This had created co.nsiderahle
uneasiness and dissatisfaction'; and a strong re-
monstrance had been made by the NAval Com-
manders to the Governor of Teneriffe. The Island
was equally as bare of provisions as the fleet ; but
the Governor immediately laid a forced, contribu-
tion of 120,000 dollars on . the inhabitants, in
terms ,equally severe and urgent as if the place
had experienced the invasion of an enemy. The
sealed orders had hoer) opened, and the general
opinion was., they were destined for Lima; in-
deed, some of the vessels, which had a propor-
tion of the troops on board, had been purposely
chartered and loaded for that quarter.

By the William, we yesterday received letters
front Trinidad to the 2d of June,- bnt they contain.
no additional news. The following is a conspa-
rative statement' of the force of the Patriotic fleet,
under BRION, and that of the Spaniards,. when
they met at sea about the 20th of May. The
Spanish Comniodore sk,ered off, and BRION did
not follow him, in consequence of having his ves-
sels greatly encumbered by • the. supplies
,he bad
embarked at St. Bartholomew's for the -use of
General BouvAa's army.

THE HON. HENRY ERSKINE.

We-are presented with the life of this Orator and
Poet, with a- Fable, now published for the fir.,
time, entitled, " The Sensitive Plant • and tilt
NF-ttle,'.' of • which the following is the first
stanza : .

" How oft neglected and forlorn,
Do high svrung worth and merit lie,
While wealth and power, tho' basely horn,
Lift their unworthy heads on high."
The following is a description of this celebrated
man :
In his person, Mr. HENRY ERSKINE was tall and
4enteel ; in point of height, he sarpassed,b9,lll
his brothers ; and, in the first bloom of youth,
was considered handsome in no common degree.
Although 'a twat) of great gaiety,- his habits were,
fortunately litith for. himself and family, of a do-
mestic nature. Even in the early part of his life
he was temperate ; and in the latter part abste-.
(pious. It has been observed of men of wit in
_general, that • they delight and fascinate every
where but at hoMe; yet, at home be was evil
most pleasant ;' and although he denied him-elf
the enjoyment of all expensive pleasures, yete.so
far as his means extended, he was ever indulgent,
to those around him.
Mr ERSKINE was always addicted to a country
life, He talked of cultivating his lands at Am-
mondell with delight, and. when . in London, we
have heard him indulge in the rapturous hope 01
returning to gather in his harvest. When he
Withdrew from Practice, he accordingly spent the
greater part of his life in this rural reireat: He
had constructed.a .beautiful little villa, and created
the scenery around it, in strict con'ormity to. his
awn taste, and in -employments such 'as these
passed the remainder of his life This was. a
fortunate circumstance, for a great man in Loire-
mrnt is generally the unhappiest animal in the ci ea-
(ion. He was fond of wit, and enjoyed a good
joke better than any man ; nay, he would not
disdain even apun, either in verse or in prose. No
one exhibited, either in his person or practice, a
greater portion of the social affections ; and such
was the happy texture of his temper, and the in-
discribable btioyancy of his spirits, that disease
itself could neither subdue the constancy of his
mind, nor entirely deprive him of that playful
gaiety for which he was so eminently distin-
guished.

-t%reen Denmark and England. In February the
northern Allies were in Champagne and Burgun-
dy, the heart of France, and General Platoff was
in Fontainbleau. In March Lord Wellington
entered Bourdeaux with the
.joyful consent of the
people, who declared fur. the Bourbons, and
sported the white cockade. On the 30th the
Russians and Prussians, after beating the French
from place to place, entered Paris, which sur-
rendered with 12,000 men, commanded by Mar-
