MILITARY &WOKS.

The want of good Military Books in the English Language is
notorious even to a Proverb; every endeavour, theretbre, to
supply the deficiency, will, it is presumed, he honoured with
encouragement. The two after-mentioned Works are calcu-
lated respectively for the perusal and study of all the Senior
and Junior Officers of every kind of Force, and cannot fail to
be read with avidity throughout the English Army.
This day was published, in three handsome and closely printed
Volumes, illustrated with numerous Engravings, price One
_

Guinea and a Nail in boards,
I.VSSAYS on the THEORY and PRACTICE
4-4 of the ART of WAR, including the Duties of OFFICERS
on ACTUAL SERV ICF, and the PRINCIPLES of MODERN
TACTICS. Chiefly translated from the best French and German
Writers.—By the EDITOR of the MILITARY MENTOR.
" If the principles contained in these Essays were generally
disseminated through the service, and so much practical know-
ledge were brought into union with the unequalled valour and
patriotism of the Officers of our various military establishments,
the British Army would be invincible both at home and abroad."
Letter of a General Officer to the Editor.

THE MILITARY MENTOR, being a SERIES of LETTERS
recently written by a GENERAL OFFICER to his SON on his
entering the Army. Comprising a Course of elegant Instruction,
calculated to unite the Characters and Accomplishments of the
GENTLEMAN and the SOLDIER.
The established character of this Work, its general reception la
the Army, and its adoption in all Military Schools, are the highest
eulogiums which can be conferred upon it. Private enconiiums,
addressed to the Editor, might be quoted out of number, but he
is satisfied with the utibty which he believes has attended his w.l'-
meant endeavours, and is sufficiently compensated by the sale of
many thousand copies of his work in a very short period. He
Japes the principles contained in it will be immortal, and on their,
,account he is solicitous that his book should last, and be rend and
Studied, as long as the language in which it is written. n

The LORD BISHOP of CARLISLE, to Mr. CITING, Apothe-
cary, Cheapeide, London.
SIR—I readily embrace the opportunity your letter
affords me, of adding my testimony to that of the Lord Chief
Baron, in favour of your CHIINIG's PATENT WORM LO-
ZENGES, my eldest son having, a few months ago, derived very
material benefit from the use of it. He had been unwell form>.
veral weeks, previous to his tabu; it; appeared pale and UMW
elated, was languid, and complained frequently of pains is
his head and side. The lord Chief Baron, •who bad acci-
dentally seen him in this state, fortunately recommended to s
the trial of your Lozenges; aad that no time might *Be lost,
or may mistake might occur, It, obtaining the gehuied MI& •
tine, sent me three doses of it. The first of these tiotoidened
a visible anseadment, and after the second dose every unplea- I
sant symptom disappeared, but I judged it right to give
the third, as the two former had agreed su uncommonly well.—
From that time my son has been in perfect health, and 1 certait ly
attribute his cure wholly to the efficacy of the Worm Lozenges.
I have since recommended your lozenges in several instances,
wherein 1 have the satisfiLtion to a.s.st.re you, they have uniformly
been of great service. 1 ought to add, that from the nature of
the ollect produced by them, in my sun's case, I apprehend the
complaints to have arisen from an oltstruetion between the sto-
mach and viscera.-1 am, Sir, your obedient servant,

-A. Theatre, or Opera Rollie) in consequence of the oppressive
eked outrageous measures adomid by Mr. Taylor (one of the pro-
prietors, and sole manager of the Opera) against him, begs leave
mast respectfully to inform the Nobility and Gentry, subscribers
to the Opera, and the Public, that he means shortly to publish a
true statement of the unprecedented and vexatious treatment he
has experienced front Mr. Taylor, during his management
throughout the present season; as also some anecdotes which
concern the Public, of the conduct of one of the principal dan-
cers engaged by Mr. D'Egville to come into this Country, who,
not content with having, Contrary to al principle, feeling and
common delicacy, infringed on his rights as Ballet Master, and
otherwise interfered with his duty to the Subscribers and the
Public, has materially assisted in raising a foreign cabal against
him and several respectable Artists of the same Theatre, and
whose only object is to govern the amusemem of the Public, as
well as to select the performers fox their service.
In this statement will be fully shewn the Causes why the last
new Ballet of " Mora's Love ; or, the Enchained Harp," after
havirg been received with the most gratifying and flattering ap-
pause, by the Subscribers and the Public on the night of Madame
Argiolini's Benefit, and the following Saturday ; has since, under
false and frivolous pretences, been suppressed.
. in this statement will be ahewn, why, since Mr. D'Egville's
Discharge, it has been repeated in a mutilated and distorted
shape, and in a style disgraceful to the Theatre, and insulting to
its Patrons; it will also be explained, that this injury, obviously
aimed at r. D'Egville's professional reputation, has been ef-
fected, in open defiance of an express prohibition; and why, in
order to preserve the bard-earned fruits which he has so long en-
joyed in Public patronage, he is resolved, at the conclusion of the
Opera season, to bring forward that Ballet at another Theatre
where its merits or demerits may be fairly appreciated.
In order to counteract the effects of the malicious reports, in-
'alustriously propagated by Mr. l'aytor and his agents, Mr. D'Egs-
vire. takes this mole at informing the public, first, that without
asligning any particular reason, Mr. Taylor did, on Tuesday last,
the 4th instant, send Mr. Wright (late Sheriff's Officer for Mid-
dlesex), in company with Mr. Seguin, his present Stag.? Manager;
to his house, with a tender of par:, of Lis salary, for the prevent
season, accompanied by a note from Mr. Taylor to Mr. D'Eg-
vale, signifying his formal discharge from the Opera, in defiance
of a written document for an engagen:ent of five years!
Secondly, that Mr. D'Egville, notwithstanding this notice,
went on Tuesday night last, to the 'I Notre in company with his
pupils, in order to fulfil his duty towards the Public, and were
there refused admittance, by the express commands of Mr.
Taylor.
Thirdly, that Mr. D'figville can in no way account for such I
proceedings, unless they originate in his having claimed the pay-
ment co( a bid delivered by him• for a class of his pupils, who have
constantly been employed in most of the Ballet performed during
the preseat as well as the former season, knd for which they have
not, to this moment, received the smallest remuneration, except
what Mr.D'Egville thought necessary to allow out of his own pri-
vate emolument, to those who were In most need of pecuniary
assistance ; or for- having assured the Figurantes of the Opera,
that Mr. Taylor had received of the COmmittee for the Drury-
Lane Company a sum of six hundred and twenty pounds, inde-
pendent of all other expences being paid by the said Conunittee,
as a bonus for his liberal convent for their usinghis Theatre three

additional tights. A charge held out by Mr. Taylor as the just
reward he meant to apply towards remunerating such of his per-
formers, who would, at the sacrifice of personal considerations,
lend their assistance on that occasion. Mr.. Taylor having long
since received the money, without indemnifying any one—not
even the unfortunate and poor figurantes—far more distressed,
anti less remunerated, than any class of performers at the other
Theatres.
Mr. D'Egville, apologizing for thus intruding on the Public
what may at first appear a private quarrel, in which they are in
to way concerned, but which, in fact, materially involves their
right of being properly provided with amusements, as he shall,
hereafter, distinctly prove, begs leave lurches to state, that solicit-
ed by Mr. Taylor in the most pressing tenns,to take the manage-
ment of the Opera during his difficulties and contentions with Mr.
Waters in Chancery, he, at the earnest entreaties of. Mr. Taylor,
end contrary to the advice of those friends who, it appears, well
knew what the consequences would be, sacrificed en independant
and lucrative employment, tar more advantageous than any con-
sideration the Opera could cffurd, in order to sustain .Mr.
tot: in his pretensions respecting the sole management of the Opel?,
and to place him in that situation—where, by Mr. D'Egville;s

le 1 ference and extraordinary exertions, he now governs unntolast-
• ed, win' his authority with uncontrouled severity and coercion
over all those who assisted him in his moments of adversity and
hieress.
as this matter may probably come before an English Jury,
if not preyiously decided by that high authority which is so wisely
emrowered, and which so justly controuls the Public Amuse-
ments, Mr. D'Egville will suspend, for the present, all further
information, and conclude this summary statement, by soliciting
the Public to be guarded against the illiberal and scurnlous para-
graphs which be regrets to perceive have already been admitted in
some of the Daily Papers; to the Edin-,rs of which, with the
Theatrical Wnrld at large, be shall, without hesitation, submit
his cause, and rely, with fearless confidence, on their decision in
his favour.—July 10, 1809.
