MONIIIO.IjI-7" Gen'. Graham, you embarked at
Cadiz the 10th of February, and- on the Raill
you disembarked at• Algesiras„with your division,
and The Spaniards. Tell us, then, why you under-
took this 'military promenade, and incurred so large
an expence. You intended to turn the lines of the
Duke of Bellunti—have you done it ? Your' design
was to raise the siege of Cadiz-:—ltave' you done it ?
If you carried every thing before you,, why did you
stop half way ? It was not in the hie of
,Leoo, but
at Chiclana, which is but a vetl.short distance ,from
it, that the field of battle was, where yon expected

to iake up your quarters on the night of the 6111.
You would have-taken to& pieces of cannon, 6u
gun bones, and immense MapZines, baggage,_. hos-,
pitals, ''.Sic. &c. This W 39 Ibe object of your expe-
ditilm--,have you attained 3 ? You were beaten—
you I..st half your troops—and 'you were
,sery.near
being taken. Your numneri, and the steadiness of
your troops, am:ed you from usire ruin, . Was it,
then, Merely for the purpose, of returning to Ca,tiz
that You lett it tett days befOre? Would it not have
been 'better that you had remained there ? You
could have had under your command 4000 wore
or -Spaniards."

CONSTANTINONR, F'ED. to.—Several Deputies
have arrived-within the last fortnight from Georgia,
to implore, on behalf of ttreir Prince, some assist-
-once from the Porte against the litisitians. The
Grand' Seignior has just is.ned art order to cite Ad.:
..rnirdity, to send several Commissioners to the Mo.
rea, to'inquire into the condua of the goglish in
that territory, and to ascertain whether they continue
to raise recruits there, contrary to the repii.ated in-
jdnttions of the Porte. The Order is dated tilt
30th oh, and directs the Admiralty to expedite the
departure of the Comtnissioners, and to make their
report with the least possible delay. Thet Adrni-,
ratty has made a Report to the Governmont, unfa-
vourable to the demand of the English Ambassador,
for the restituilOn .of several vessels taken, whilst
engaged in an illicit trade to Alpha and Sicily, with
cargoes of Turkish corn. They are of course declared
good prizes.

Tits Altre,r-AS we were the first to notice the
fine
..hi,toric ,1 picture on the subjea of HEALING
THE SICK, whii.h does so much honour to the at ts
of this country, as well as to the artist himself, Mr.
W awl., we feel much gratified in finding that our
report of its high merits has been abundantly con-
'firmed by the opinion of all enlightened judges.. It is
still more gratifying to find, that since we first noticed
this admirable work of art, the noble and judicious
Directors of the British Institut ion, un willing that the
cotuitry shou:d he clopriVed 01 what is eilculated to
do us so much honour, have entered into a sub-
scription to purchase it, upon terms 111:11 evince their
liberality as well as taste. When we gave ow re.
Olt, the picture was by no means finished, but it
has at length received the last touchei from the
mailer, and wits ”toord ty submitted to a private
view in the hritisb Gallery, Pall-Mall,. of the Ui
rectors, their triends, and several well-known ama-
teurs. Upon an attentive review of the work, fctr
from being in the slightest degree disposed to retract
our praise, we deem it our duty to say, i-hat nO‘ii
has been completed, it even exceeds our expeOtn-
tions. We entered so fully into the merits 01 this
work before, that we can only refer our Readers to
the work itself, as any description which we could
, give, would convey but a very inadequate idea of its-
. merits; We shall therefore only add, that' in expres-
- slot), COlopring, skilful management, of light and
shadow, .character, prominence of eflea, discrimina-
tion, and all the higher qualities of art, it is not only
thetest historical piaure which has pier beeo pro.
&teed in this country, but is entitled to a distin-
guished rank among the noblest works W the first
masters.
