We are frequently told that Knitters, NM their
elevated fituations, are enabled to fee Farther than
their inferiors : it behoves us, therefore, to Hen
to them with peculiar attention, when they either
dcfcend or fall from their height, becaufe they
have then the will as well u the power to give us
the bell information.

Mr. WYNDHAM has Peen with a clear view the
danger to which the naval power of Britain is ex-
pored—the peril cannot be denied—its extent is
better known to him than to us.—the condua of
Britain is not to lament, but to beware.—The
courage of our feamen has baffled the combined
efforts of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Ruffia, and
the French Republic. Let the nation keep alive
this facred fire !—Our guardians mutt be reward-
ed—" not with vain thanks, but with acceptance
kounteosu."

The honours beftowed upon our victorious Ado
' mirals are fandlioned by every honel loyal heart
in Britain. But Admirals without Officers, and
Officers without hope, are nothing.—Thofe, who
have 4, nobly dared" ought to be generoufly re-
warded. The boiling fpirit of Brit& courage
urged many of our molt promifing young men to
hazard againft all the prudence of calculation their
limbs, lives, and honour for their couutry.
This is not idle declamation.—Many gal-
lant officers have expofed themrelves in open
boats againft Mips prepared to meet them,
and fheltered under friendly batteries.—Per-
haps fuch attempts were expedient to keep alive
the (pink of the Navy ; but at all events, it
is neceffary at the beginning of a Peace, that every
inftance of heroifm in Bridal Officers fhould be
'noticed and rewarded. If young feamen of cha-
ruler be not provided for, or by promotion refcued
from oblivion, what parent will in future permit
his fon to run fuch hazards in the morning of life,
afterwards to pine away the noon and evening of
wretched exiftence in poverty and pain ? Which of
our youth will hereafter volunteer in there Cervices
of uncommon danger ?—Damp their ardour at
this inftant, and it is gone for ever !—They wil
retire in dirgutt, and turn their energy and talents
to purfuits in which they may be fecure, at leaft
of rewards proportioned to their exertions.—lf
the chronic direare of difcontent among our Offi-
cers fhonld ereep-into our Navy, we are undone.
The gallant Earl at the head of the Admiralty
cannot have fentiments different from there : but
we know that principles of economy are to fuc-
ceed to former proration... The prayers, the tears
of Britain deprecate all partimony towards thole
who have upheld the Navy againft the world; to-
wards thole who gone can prate& her when
the navy of France Mall, be equal to that of Eng-
land—That hour mutt wee, and againft that
hour let Britons be prepared on EX-lIIIIATOR.

BENJAMIN TUCKER, Efq. Clerk of she Cheque
at Plymouth, and Private Secretary to Lord ST.
Viiicsier, this day took his feat at the Navy
Board, as the new Civil Commiffioner : he is fuc-
ceeded as Clerk of the Cheque, at Plymouth, by
Mr. PERRIN, Store-keeper at Woolwich; and as
Private Secretary, by Mr. Putt*, Lord ST. VIII.
ewes own nephew.
The new Naval arrangements give a nag to
Sir THOMAS TROWIRIDOI, confequendy three CO.
loncicies of Marines become vacant, which are to
be given to Captains MAatNAM, Sir Biotite])
STRACNAII, and Sir SYDIIRT SMITH. COMMISiOTICT
COFFIN, it is Paid, will have a Rag alto ; and
he is to be fucceeded either by Sir ALEIANDRIS
BALL, Captain COATIS, or the Honourable Cap-
tain Geoaos Gan,.

It is unfortunate that at the moment when Lord
Sr. Vincanv was bufily employed on the Naval
arrangements he fhould be taken i l : however, as
he is now in a Rate of convalekenee, it is tobehoped
he will foon refume his funaions at the Admiralty
I3oard.—Should his ill health unfit him for his
high office, to which he has got by his intrinfic
'worth and merit, the prefent Commander in Chief
of the Grand Fleet will, it is faid, be created a
Peer, and placed at the head of the Admiralty
Board ; and if he is only as vigiLint there as he
has been in blockading Breit, lie will be one of
the abieß firß Lords amongti, the many who have
prefided at that moil important Board.—He has
never once had his foot on fhore fine he took the
command, nor would he have ever dose fo, had he
continued in the command for ten years to come.

Dituar-Last.—The return of KIM/Lt to this
Theatre laa night, was evidently a very gratifying
event in the opinion of the Public, for be was re-
ceived on his entrance in the charader of Richard

very numerous audience.
