TORBAY, Nov. 24.—Since my haft of the lath ion.
we VETERAN has made OUC cruize !Thin towards
the Gallic Chore: nothing of any moment occurred
during the week we were out—the (mall vellels that
were lent to look into Brett harbour reported, that
the French fleet remained with their fails unbent,
and feeroirOy laid up for the winter.
The times are fn improdutlive of novelty, that
de;lers in news mutt often be at a lois for matter to
fill their columns. 1 therefore beg you will give
ROOM to a few ;;marks on the generous and well-
meant Subfcription at Lloyd's:
llre Britilb Nation has ever been liberal in bellow.
ing rewards for public Cervices. This, however,
fliould slot be confined to the relaticlis of thole prin-
cipally who have fallen in their country's defence ;the
widow and fatheads molt stiluredly have the WI and
remelt claim, but the living allots have their jolt
claim ado. The public Cub's' ipt ion as Lloyd's plainly
evinces the national liberality, but there is a kind of
posthumous reftriaion attached to it that rather dif-
qualifies the intention : it is certainly a kind of pkaf-
gas tkorsht for a man to confider he mull be
killed of to entitle him to reward for that fervice which
his duty to his country requires him to perform.—
When any particular oe dangerous fervice is to be
entered upon, it is isfua! to inform the men what li-
beral rewards their country has in lore for thole who
voluntarily come forward : If it was whifpered in
Jack Rattlin's ear, that he mull be killed before Ire is
entitled, and that the reward was principally intended
for the relations of thole who fell in defence of their
country, Jack would, without the leaß hefitation,
fay, 4, The reward, and thole that offered ir, might
both be ---- together ;" notwithaanding, he
would do his duty to his country all thc fame. No
blame can attach to the Czatl:rren at Lloyd's for
this teeming partiality ; thc gen.:l3l difpc.fitica of
men affords them every example.
Dec. 6.—A fignal for the Sleet to put to fca made
me not only flop from tormenting you, but prevent-
ed my fe;cling off the above. We had been only
about 24 hours in Torbay, where v-e left the Vena•
