"The jttst sense entertained by his Majesty's subjects, of
the t•aWe unrl importance of religious tuleiation, it necessari-
ly calcollted to excite in their minds strong feelings. ot
uu-
rasiness and regret, at any appearance of the want of it in
othet'nations of the world.

" Insuch feelint,,6vben called for, and justified by the oc-
.casian, I shall ever. participate; and whilst I lament the
-eircumstaaces which led to your Add' fog, I derive great sa-
tisfaction from,the perinasidd that they arc in no degree to
,be attributed to an indisposition on the part of the Govern-
ment of Franceitotafford 'to the freedom of Religious Wor-
ship the benefit of its prodmed protection and support."

Ninitageous to.this country and to Europe. It may justly ,he
regarded as the adequate result of a victory, which, under the
favour of Divine Providence, is chiefly to be ascribed to the
unparalleled exertions of British valunr, and as the Well-
earned reward of that characteristic foditade and public spirit
which was so eminently displayed by 'all classes of his Majes-
ty's subjects ou the recurrence of hostilities."

They were all received very graciously, and
had the honour of kissing the hand of his Royal

small springs of water on the S E. side of the
island, which produced about two puncheons a-
day, and was endeavouring to cultivate some
small spots for garden vegetables. The Officers
of the ‘Vellesley, the arrival of which we noticed
yesterday, pioeured several very file turtle at the
island, intending to bring them to England, but on
coining into a change of climate, they all died franc

with in lat. 56 N. 30 IV. longitude. • The Welles-

don, George Sayer, in the Leda, had sailed from
China to resume the command in India, in conse-
'onenee of information received by the Acorn, of
the decease of Rear-Admiral Sir G. Marlton. The
Wellesley is a' new ship, built in the East Indies,
is on the establishment of a 50-gun ship, and has
no possible accommodation for passengers. She
has brought house part of the frame-timbers for a

The following letter relates to the Russian
Tara:

'COPY OF A LETTER ADDRESSED TO E. THORNTON,
ESQ. GOVERNOR OF• THE RUSSIA COMPANY.

" St.Petersburgh, Marc!! 21 e.)

" In reference tn the letter I had the honour to write you
the 14th '(26th) March, I beg to mention, fur the informa-
tion of the Court of Assistants of the Russian Body, that the
Tariff Is not yet published. I must. also request of you the
favour to correct that part of the said letter which stated, that
ale wag to he permitted to he imported,
" I am no* assured that all malt liquors crintinue prOhibit-
ed,,except English Porter : rum is also prohibited to the let
ofJanuary, tem. Fine broad cloth is to be permitted, except
black : coarse and common cloth continues prohibited. I con 7
sider it my duty to transmit from time toiling such reports tm
this interesting topic as appear to be worthy of credit: I can-
not, however, toe strongly urge the danger of acting upon
then,, both on acconnt of the misinforthation on which they
may he grounded, and the liability the whole is under. of
being changed, until issued- in form from the diricting Se-
nate."

By the Project of the Lbw, which passed by a
majority of 214 to 50 of the' French Deputies, a
great advance is made in favour of, the Clergy,
beyond the liberality of .13vortnARTE. He al -
lueted for all the expences of religion 11. milliont
of francs : the Chamber pf Depu•ies-proposes to
allot- 46 millions to the established Catholic
Church', besides the salaries paid by the State to
the Protestant Ministers still this is- far below
the wealth of the Clergy before the Revolution,
when their endowments amounted to 150 millions
of trancse---a sum, doubtless, capable of considet;-
able curtailment. The Constituent Assembly pro-
posed to allow them. 80 millions ; pu'l the pre-
sent -plan is ultimately to reach to two-thirds of
that 'Sum.'

The I,otin MAYott hat called st meeting to be
held in the Egyptian 11311 on Friday next, at two
WelocL, to considt:r the expediency of presenting
a piece of plate to hit; Grace the Duke of Witt,

We noticed this picture in our introduetory re-
marki, and both from its nature and merits, it
claims to occupy a first pb.ee in these criticisms.
As we proceed, it Will be seen that we are no more
inclined to be trio lavish id- our praises, than
too severe in our animadversions on defects.--:-
This proviso !ling made, we do not bCsltate
to declare our opinion, t:hat for composi-
tifm, 'design, and invention, this work is not
only honburable to the Artist; and 'the British
Scho6l, bUt one 'of the very foremost productions,
of modern painting.. There is great novelty in
treating the tigtire of Laiarns,
,and in that novel-
ty great beauty. Never was a subject better il-
lustrated than is this Miracle, by the'attitudes,
expression, and grouping of the numerous per-
vons introduced among its witnesses, They are
all engaged in the main action, ail many of them
wayi eminently natural and beAutiful. The
conception of the whtile is pivot of a fine geniui
and enlarged Mind.
The Artist to whotri we pay this just tribute
will, we are sure, not be dissatisfied at remarki
on what appears to ns.to bedefeethe in this mas 7
tray effort. The Ucad of the Saviour is deficient
in dignity. 'Well are we aware of the difficulty
Ml. Mt-I'ov had to contend against in this re,;.
spect. Not only the general clotradter expected
in the features, but the act of 11 crying with a'
loud voice," were powerfully against bini. Stilt
%ye think he might have come nearer the'ideal,
form which imagination and the ancient Masters
enable 11; to assign to Christ. The tone of colour.:
ing thron'ghout is rather to be passed as inciffen-:
sive than commended as equal to the other merits
of the Picture, and in a mechanick point of view,
we May remark that the lights are too scattered.
This circumstance impairs the force of the etiin,
position. The eye is distracted, not
..and knows mi
where to rest : it glances from one fine figure to
another, it is true, but it is not satisfied, for
there is a want of that unity which, while it
lows as to wander over the various minor excel-
lencies,of a piece, yet fixes the chief attention to
one prlminent Nature. But, least we should be
thought censorious in dwelling upon detects, we
conclude as we began,. by stating that this is a
uf,ble production, anti worthy of any living
Artist.
