a'
to nautical difquifitions, to a minute inquiry into the
Bate and ftrength cf the French coati, ports, &c. and
'having acquired a very full and fatisfatkory informa-
'ltion thereon, he wrote a detailed account of it, and
,-.., addrefled it to a Naval Lord in England, in hopes
.eithat his country might profit by his refearches. Un-
T' ••fortunately the difpatch was intercepted, and Mr.
1,.; STURT was in confequence immediately apprehend.
--Led, and, after a short examination, was marched in

• BRITISH Issmurtox.—Our minor profeffors in
' ; the Fine Arts have been fortunately relieved from
an embarraiment that heated to defeat, or at leaf
;confiderably retard, their progrefs to celebrity. Se-
veral of the Britifh Artifts, more advanced in life,
had experienced the benefits of travel, and fludied
the works of the ancient mailers in the countries that
gave them birth; but the modern iltilla had fwept
the repolitories of It,. f and the Continent of all the
choiceft monuments of former genius, and, thereby,
deprived our youth of thole effeutial advantages that
can only be derived from the contemplation of truth
and nature.—This unavoidable interruption to the
advancement of the Fine Arts in Great Blitain, did
not efcape the attention of the Direeors of this In-
ftitution, who have adopted the plan of devoting
their Gallery during the Summer and Autumn, for
'the (Ludy of thole works of the great mailers which
may be lent to the Gallery for that purpofe.—Thus,
'by one aft, bath this patriotic Inflitution reicued
our afpiting youth from an embArraffment that chil-
led the ardour of their genius, and, at the fame time,
defeated the machinations of an inexorable ufurper,
whofe rapacity and ambition fhould be faithfully re.
corded as a negative example to future generations.
