was covered with every delicacy of the feafon, and
decorated it* a magnificent (kyle, having in the
centre a reprefentation of A'ettune, furrounded with
the emblems of naval glory. Under an alcove of
laurel, at the head of the room, was a very beautiful
reprefentation of a man of war, with a flag from
her tnpmaft, healing the name of the Admiral's
(hip, the Venerable. At one corner of the alcove
was a reprefentation of Fame, at the other Bri-
tannia ; and in the centre, the 'l', ophies of War. At

• litt'ENCE %ILE COUNTRY.

Our political horizon daily crakes darker clouds.
Netts dangers and difficulties daily arife. External
ditcl intErnal caufes combine in threatening the moR
difaltrous effees.

Our enemy is exerting his unprecedented powers
in rchemes of hoftility, for which language has not
name, or conception capacity. All Europe is at
ills feet. RofLa has unaccountably yielded her inde-
liendence. Auftria will in a few months be reduced
to the rank of the other kingdoms of Germany.—
To round his circle of impotent Rates, he will place
one of his Generals at the head of Auflda, and drive
the Emperor rtANCIS to his kingdom of Hungary.
Turkey will form another of his fatellites. Denmark
is already reduced to the fame vaffalage. All the
Continent is forced to join the league againft this
country, and to became the hands of this mighty
earth born BRIAREUS.

His marfeinte projeds are equal in mifchief, and will
be matured in a fhorter time than the couriery of
this country is willing to imagine. His navy is in-
ereafing fait. The fleets of Portugal are probably
now in his poffeffion. The report of the flight to
Brafil is meant only to lull this country into fecurity.
The tailors of Denmark will be fent to Breit and to
Antwerp. Ruffia will join her naval power to that of
the reft of the Continent. The poffeffiln of the Ve-
netian and the Grecian Wands, will yield a numerous
tact of hardy mariners. The Turkifb failors will be
taught a better fyltem of maneuvering, and add
their fleet to the general fcene. In two years, two
hundred fail of the line will be ready to fail from the
ports of Enrope, and carry the thunders of the
Continent againft our colonies and dependencies.
Our internal policy does not prefent motives of
confolation. While we have no other hold of Ire-
land but force of arms, we deprive ourfelves of a
vaft dirpofable force, which might have been added
to the Ruffian and Pruffian army in Poland. and
crullied the mighty conqueror. And a blow has
lately been given to our navy in the conceffinns to
America, by which our feamen will be irreclaimable
torn her (hips of war.
From the fpirit difplayed in the expedition to
Zealand we expected a different conduCt. We have
often Paid that America would not go to war, fhould
we adopt the meafures, now become abfolutely ne•
ceffary, of blocking up the Continent of Europe, and
preventing the importation of the produce of our
enemies' colonies in neutral bottoms. And fhould
America declare war, her captive feamen would enter
into our fervice, and enable us to man a ftrong addi•
tional fizet to affiti in the meafure of retaliation.
We (hall, perhaps, be aceufed of drawing ton
gloomy a pie/ore. We confers that our colours a►e
dark; whether they are overcharged, we leave to the
dmiliun of the impartial Reader. We defcribe the

duty at Wifbeach. About a mile from Wifbeach,
they were received with prefented arms by the volun-
teers of that place, commanded by Major WATSON;
both Corps fainted, and marched into town together.
During their day, they brigaded on the race ground
with the Wifbeach Volunteers, and went through their
file movements and Ilcirmillsing with much quicknefs
and precifion : great applaufe was alfo due to the
volunteers, in forming open and clofe column', firing
by companies, &c. and advancing and retiring alter-
nately, in which they were covered by the Rifles.—
The day being fine, a numerous affemblage of ladies
and gentlemen of the firft refpe&ability were prefent,
who teemed highly gratified with the day's exercife.
On Sunday lall the Corps returned from Wifbeach.
On leaving the town, Colonel TAYLOR, in a diftin&

highly honoured by the attention, generofity, and
unreferved behaviour, of the inhabitants of Wifbeach;
and begged they would receive the unfeigned thanks
of himfelf, officers, and men, for loch unprecedented
civility. At the conclution of the Colonel's (peech,
the Corps gave three cheers, and left the town amidtt
the plaudits of a frank and hofpitable people. Within
a mile or two of Lynn, they were met by the cavalry
belonging to the legion under Major LLOYD, who
darned them, amidli the congratulation of thoufands
of their townfmen, to the Tuefday Market Place; and,
previous to their difmiffal, the Colonel again repeated

GRAND REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.-His Royal
Highnefs the Duke of CAMBRIDGS reviewed, yefter.
day morning, in Hyde Park, three Regiments of the
Earl India Company's Volunteers. At nine o'clock,
the men marched into the Park, preceded by fix
pieces of artillery, drawn by four honks each, and
took their ground near Kcnfingtnn Gardens ; they
then formed into line, with their rear towards the
garden walls ; the artillery were Rationed to the
right of the lett wing ; two men, with bugle horns,
were alfu Rationed in the Park : one at Hyde Park
Corner, and the other near the Powder Magazines in
order to give the fignal when his Royal Highnefs
the Duke of CAMBRIDGE entered the Park. At
eleven o'clock, his Royal Highnefs made his appear-
ance, mounted upon a beautiful Arabian black char-

CODICIL TO THE WILE OF THY LATE CEORGB HUT
TOM, ESQ.:. OP DEPTFOP.D.

The late Mr. Hutton, who kept an academy in
Deptford, was educated at King's College in the'
Univerfity of Aberdeen. To his lafi will, in which
he left an annuity to his wife, a sum to his only
daughter, Mrs. Mackie (the widow of a naval officer)
and tOndry legacies, he added a Codicil, bequeath-
ing all the remainder of his date to his executors,
Sir W. Curti., Bart. Mr. Chalmer, Mr. Woods-rife,
and Mr. Eades, in unit for the following beneficent
purpofe, viz.
To eltablifh a number of Bad?, or Scholar/bits in
the King's College, Old Aberdeen, which than be
affigned to Students, by the Principal and Regents,
or Profeffors of the College.
The Buries are to be gained, at the commencement
of each Salon, in claffes of four, viz.—one of tBl.
per annum; one of 161.1 one of 141 ; and one of 121.
and which are to be affigned according to the merit
of the Candidate!, by a public and open competition.
The Burfer are to be held by the Students for four
years, which is the uftial term of Rudy in the College;
and at the end of the time there is to be a fecond
competition among the Buries for a prize of twenty
guineas.
The Bottler are to be forty col in number, if the
funds will admit of fo many; fo that there will be
three delfts of four each, by which twelve Rodents
will be annually provided fot ; and three prizes of
twenty guineas each affigned to thole in the highest,
or magiltran dafs on going off from College.
The competition is to be open to fcholars from any
part of the united kingdom of G►eat Britain or Ire-
land. And the only condition is, that they (hall
have made fame progrefs in the Latin and Greek
languages, and in Mathematics.
Mr. Hutton has alfo made provifian for the changes;
that may take place in the value of money, either as
to depreciation or augmentation. He direds that I
the value of it than every twenty years be fettled by
'the average price for (even years, of wheat at Bear
Key.
He alfo dire9s, that if there &mild be a furplus
arising frdm the annual produce of his funds, after
there uses, fuck furplus !hall go to augment the value
of the prizes, and to such other objeds for the pro
motion of literature and morals as the Regents or
Profeffors of the laid College shall dire&
And he gives a set of very valuable rules and re-
gulations for the government of the fcholars on this
foundation, fo as to engage their attention, animate
their purfuit of knowledge, and promote the obfer•
vance of their religious and moral duties—and he
concludes with declaring, that he has made this dif.
pofition of his dime from the conscientious idea, that in
encouraging the cultivation of letters, and rearing up
a number of ynuig men who may be able thereby to
enlighten the minds of others, he has endeavoured
to difcharge the ditty which he owes to his country,
and to taffy his gratitude to the PROVIDENCE that
has crowned his labours with fuccefs.

The will and two codicils have been regularly pro-
ved at Doitors Commons. But we learn that there is
a doubt whether this teliamentary difpofition of his
red efiate is legal, and whether the will can be carried
into mew ion. If not, the whole will go to his widow,
and Mn. Mackie of Camberwell, his only daughter.
