LITERARY REVIEW.

ACKERMAN'S FORGET-ME-NOT, 1830.

The parliamentary debates (which eners-notu, gentle reader, arc not
our most favourite pursuit,) have occasioned us to delay a little the per.
formance of our literary duties, and we have several agreeable volumes
before us which we are ashamed to have so long neglected.
Mr. Ackerman's " Forget-me-not," which was, we believe the tint
of its kind, has now reached its Bth volume, and we can assure our
readers that the present one for 1830, displays the same taste and spirited
expendinne in its embellishments, which chamenriee all the efforts of
its publisher, and which first surprised the public, in this new end de-
lightful walk of literature. The first plate after the title mites the
lent of two of our fint.rate artists. It is an historical picture drawn by
Martin, and engraved by Finder, illustrative of the scriptural history of
Bather. Both artists have displayed almost inimitable talent in the
composition and execution of this picture. Every pert of the same is
fill of historic truth, and is most beautifully executed. The " Italian
Scene," bylanitnainu is oar neat favourite; and we are sale no tee an
view it without feeling the Areadianaike tratquillity of the scene de.
pitted. The "Cat's Paw" engraved by R. Graves from Landow is
perfect, as far as the art of the engraver is cocooned, end sot leas true
to that nature in the drawing, which distinguishes Letidaeor in all his
mockeries. We admire too, the truth of the kittens in and new the
basket ; but we think the parent at is so contorted by the agency of fear
and wrath, that his feline characteristics are a little ambiguous. The
"Political Cobbler," by Shute, from a painting by Chisholm, we
admire both in execution and design, although we base heard it nu
ported that the cobbler's right arm is a little out of proportion. The
" Ispanesse Palace at Dresden,* from a drawing by Prout, is a most
careful engraving of a singular structure. The " Boa Gaut" is antin
the fine specimen of linden's abilities from WWI& It is a most
interesting Indian some ; and " Benares" by Carter, Is another of the
same pan of the world, almost equally interesting. " The Noontide
Retreat," "Betsy Bell and Mary Grey," "Tire forsaken ens,"
Disconsolate," and " The Painter pussled," although all pictures of merit
es to execution, we do not admire so much as those we have before
specified.

With respect to literary contents, the milanp of prole and vase will,
he found quite equal to the former volumes of this annuaL Those who
like humour will be richly amused by the " nausea Hogshead,"
a Yankee Legend ; while there are several most beautifully narrated
actions to call forth the tender sympathies of those who can enjoy the
pleasures of virtuous emotion. We an hardly give a specimen of what
is so varied, but as a tax payable to our readers, we shall extract the
following little piece, being convenient in length, and we think in-
genious

goods from such possessions to be carried to any foreign
country whatever, and that it is expedient that such permission
should be subject to certain conditions," it is therefore enacted,
" that the privileges thereby granted to foreign ships shall be limited to
the ships of those countries which, having colonial possession; shall

PORTSMOUTH, Nor. 6.

Frogs the Hampshire Telegraph.

His Majesty's ship Sapphire, 28, Captain Henry Dundas, arrived
on Monday. in 56 days from Rio Janeiro, having on board 400,000
dollars. This money is principally the of the British mer-
chants at Callao. which had been wrested from by a party in Peru
and put on board a Peruvian ship, from which it was afterwards de-
manded and taken by the Sapphire. AD Wield communication had
ceased between Great Britain and Pero, and our two Consuls had
quitted the country. It was, however, understood that no further erg.
gressions would be attempted en English property. Our political differ-
ences with the Chilians had been settled, and trade in that quarter was In
some degree reviving; but the party squabbles on the whole Western
face of America, would retard for years any improvement in its coo.
(titbit. Until a 'ceded Government can be established, trade would be
slack and precarious. The same may be remarked of Buenos Apes,
where the existing differences wore a more serious aspect, and were at.
tended with great bloodshed ; and where the native Indians, availing
themselves of the incessant condicts between the several parties, under
some pretence, constantly rise and commit murder and robbery on the
weakest. The Warspite. 711(with the flag of Rear. Admiral Baker), and
V o4e, 28, Captain Lord Colchester, were at Rio ; the latter was
shortly to sail for the River Plate. The Algerine, 10, Commander
Charles Talbot, was at Buenos Apes; the Druid, 46, Captain G. W.
Hamilton,was at Bahia; the Lightning, IS, Commander Dickenson, was
on he passage to the Pacific. The Seringapatma, 46, Captain Ho-
nourable W. Waldegrave, sailed from Coquimbo on the 17th February
last, for the Society and Friendly islands ' • and was, if possible, to be at
Callao the beginning of August. The Thetis, 46, Captain A. B.
Bingham ; and Alert, 18, Commander Fitzgerald, were at Callao. The
Tribune, 42, Captain Duntse, was at Valparaiso. When the Sapphire
left Coquimbo, (18th June,) the Eden, 28, Captain Owen, must have
been on her passage round to the Pacific, not being at Rio on the Sap-
phire's arrival there.
By a letter received this week dated Belize, Bay of Honduras, 224 of
August, we are sorry to learn that the yellow fever had visited the
Blossom, Caps. Owen, and the Monkey schooner, surveying vessels,
sod with such malignity, that it had proved fatal in nineteen instances
on-board theee'ships, there were thirty men also sick on shore. Mr.
Wilson, the First Lieutenant, arid Mr. Bedford, Midshipman of the
Blossom, had died. The Monkey, acting Lieutenant Rea, was about
to sail on a cruise, to rid themselves of the noxious pestilence. The
following is an extract :
" His Majesty's ship Blossom, Belize, Bay of Honduras, 22d Aug.
1100.—The Blossom has been visited with an attack of yellow fever,
which unfonunately proved fatal to our First Lieutenant, one Mid-
shipman, nine men, and a boy, who have all died within the last
fortnight. There being no naval hospital at Belize, all communica-
tion was prohibited, sad the Governor gave us the use of two houses
on a small quay, about twelve miles from the town, which we have
converted into an hospital. An slaty surgeon, with six soldiers, has at-
tended us, and now we are fast recovering. All in the sbip, both
officers and men, excepting the Captain and one or two others have
had an attack of it. Thera am now about thirty at the hospital, but
it is believed all danger is past. The ship has been thoroughly cleaned,
whitewashed, and smoked, and no doubt will be as healthy as ever."
