PROSPECTUS OF A NEW REVIEW.

-Sltottly will be published, by Samuel Tipper, of LeadenhaU-street,
SHE First Number of a NEW and ORIGINAL
WORK, in which the recent productions of our contempo.
-tory Writers will 'be reviewed by a Society of Literary Friends,
wbo, in the true and manly spirit of fair and candid Criticism,
have agreed that each Contributor shill, with his Contribution,
give his Name to be undersigned, so that the candidate for literary
fame may distinctly know to whom be is indebted, either for the
commendation that encourages, or the admonition that enlightens
bitu.—Till the timeshall come when the parties associated in this
liberal and well-intentioned undertaking publish themselves to the
, world, it is thought proper to premise, that there is not one
amongst them, that holds correspondence, interest, or connection,
with any-Review, Sttire, or Magazine whatever: and as it must
be obvious that a compilation of this mheellanecoss nature must
require the inspection and arrangement of some one person. by
practice and experience qudli6ed forthat charge, the Publisher
flatters himself it will not be unacceptable to :he patrons of his
Work to know that this charge, at once so indispensable, and yet
so delicate, will, by general desire, he undertaken by RICIIARD
Cuatss *LAND, Eisq..who is anxious, if life and health be granted
him, to add this last conclusive proof of his unwearied zeal for
the fame, the feelings, and the rightful claims of his contempo.

BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 18.

The Ball at the Castle last night was very nume-
rously attended ; a very large proportion of those Efr.
sante: being present who had honoured the Master of
the Ceremonies' Ball, by partaking of that entertain-
matt on the preceding Thursday. The votaries of
'tile light fantastic toe were in graceful motifn until an
early hour this morning. The weather to-day has
been damp and' cold • the walks consequently have
not exhibited their usual number of promenaders, but
numberless fashionable equipages have given brilli-
ance and bustle to the rides. The arrivals still con-
tinue to exceed the departures ; and, from present ap-
pearances this town promises to be the seat of gaiety,
even until some time after Christmas.

Yesterday was the inspection day of the South
Gloucester Militia, and numberless fashionable spec-
tators attended the proceeding on the Level. The
Inns here still continue full of guests. The hundred
beds of the Old Ship are hardly sufficient for the de-
mands made on the house. The Boarding-houses also
retain their full proportion of genteel company.

Being a NEWand COMPLETE DICTIONARY of ARTS

ther with the accuracy and originality' of the Designs, and the
beauty of the Engravings, renders it one of the most valuable

seems Wholly unnecessary, the great estimation in whicgaimiLlr
publications have been held by the Public being an evident propf
of their utility. The extraordinary care and aeknoiviedged ability
eimployed in the compilation of the EDINBURGH ENCYCLO-

during the last Week, two vessels are on shore in our

Much praise is due to Messrs. WESTON, RICHARDSON,

and Owners, for their promptitude and attention, in
affording assistance, by which means the whole of the
vessels' stores have been saved ; and by directing the
ballast to be shifted, caused her the next tide to be so
situated, that there is every prospect she will be got
off. Happily, no lives were lost.—A brig, name un-

We the Roman Catholic Freeholders of the Queen's County,

Riler, thus publicly declare it to be or most anxious desire,
that they may hetnally triumphant.
We also declare it to be our determination to support, with
our lives and properties, whatsoever measure.. may be necessary

to the Castle, from a water excursion of three or four
days; report says, his Lordship has given up his in-1
tended voyage to Spain and the Madeira Islands ; in
the former he passed several of his earliest years, and
is well known to most of the leaders of the parties of
CI&ARLES the IVth and FluintyAND the Vllth ; with
many of the latter he is in habits of perfect harmony.
On Wednesday, the Speedy, Captain Irl-lE.Ausikl,
a Jersey trader, was seized by Mr. Dear, for having a

She is a fine new beautiful vessel, built on purpose for

Agenoria, in the same employ, has likewise, this week,
got into the same dilemma.
The Ball, on Tkursday evening, at the Dolphins'
Inn, for the benefit of the Master of the Ceremonies,
was attended by all the rank and fashion in the
neighbour:iood.

According to the new regulations for the Legacy
duty, it is indispensably necessary that the receipt
should specify not only the degree of affinity, but the
time when tho testator died, and also the Court in
which the Will is proved or the administration granted.

St. Genre's Church, Southwark, after being under
repair for eighteen months, was opened on Sunday
with a Sernion preached by the Rev. Pilule DODD,
tile celebrated Preacher at the Asylum, for the bene-
fit of the Charity Schools. The text was from St.
Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews, chap. 12, verse ii.—
M Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who
for the joy that was ,et before him endured the cross, despising the
shame, and is set down at the right hand of the Throne of GOD."
An appropriate Anthem was sung, composed by
Mr. WATrs, the organist, by the Charity Children.

Great crowds of persons assembled on Sunday morn-
ing at St. Saviour's Church, Southwark, to hear a Fu-
neral Sermon, pr,'ached by the Rev. Mr. MANN,'
on the unfortunate men, whose deaths were occasioned
by the late dreadful conflagration at Covent-Garden

HOLLAND.

Letters, of the 20th ultimo, were yesterday received !
from Flushing. From them, it appears that the Dutch
Merchants have ventured to remonstrate with the
French Government, 'On the want of fairness and
equality in the execution' of the laws Concerning fo-
reign commerce in France and Holland. They com-
plain, that in France a brisk trade is carried on with
various nations, while no vessels of any kind can go
in of out of the 'ports of Holland. 'lf this • complaint
be well'founded, it warrants an imputation of, great
cruelty indeed agiinst NAt'OLEON : for France, Alrut

MARLBOROUGUSTREET.—Yesterday James Shirk-Is,
charged with picking pockets in Margaret-street
Chapel, underwent a second examination. luckson
and Hamilton, officers, stated, that he had been
convicted of picking a gentleman's pocket, at tl e
Foundling Chapel in 1799, and was Sentenced to
seven years transportation, which time he had served
on board the hulks at Woolwich. It was also proved,
that the prisoner had been seen in Margaret-street
Chapel in this instance, and that he was pretending
to peruse seine useless papers, when taken. Mr.
ALLEY, for the prisoner, Observed, that as there was
a difference of opinion with the Magistrates, respect-
ing the virtue of the Act on which the prisoner was
taken, he should only submit, that although the pri-
soner had served seven years on board the hulks, he
ought not to be debarred going to Chapel, or any
other place of Divine Worship, to expiate his past
conduct. Such a man as the Prisoner stood in nerd
of reformation. The Magistrate ,tteateof opinion,
that a man, of whatever description he '= -night
be, ought not to be molested in a Chapel, or in a
Theatre, or in a crowd, without sufficient proof that
he assembled there with a felonious intent. It was
not sufficient that be should be apprehended because
'he had a bad character, unless his conduct manifest-
ed a felonious intent, or excited suspicion that he was
about to do a wicked act. In the prisoner's case there
were strong circumstances against him. He had left
the Chapel to join other bad characters at the door,
and was detected looking at papers, which he had
not offered to account for the possession of; and these,
with other circumstances, were sufficient to enable
him to send the prisoner to the Sessions.
The prisoner solicited to be bailed, and was in-
formed that he might give the names of two respecta-
ble bail, if he meant m appeal. He was sent to
Bridewell till the Sessions.
Woustur-srnerr.--Yesterday two soldiers were
fully committed, charged with stealing poultry from

LETTER TO DON JOAQUIN BLARE.

1, Since the 20th ult. en which day the troops occupied the
city of Bilboa, various reconnoitring parties were sent in the di-
rection of Durango; it being conjectured that the enemy were
concentering themselves at that point, marching from Guipo•cos
through trmoa, and from Alava, by way of Oehendlano. The
enemy daily approached our advanced posts.
" On the 26th, about one o'clock, they appeared in great force
coming in the direction of Durango and Ordeal, and the interme-
diate heights, and compelling our advanced posts total' beck upon
the New Bridge. All the troops of the division and the artillery
took a position which covered the town, being anxious that it
should not be the theatre of action. The enemy were held in check
by the lire of the advanced posts, who were protected by the ar-
tillery. Some movements by battalion of our troops also contri-
buted to stop their progress ; and on the approach of night prepa-
rations were made for retreating upon the town of Balmaseds,
being suspicious that their force, which could not be less than
12,000 infantry and 1800 cavalry, would attempt to surround my
army on the side of Sodupe, half way between Dam and Baba.
