The following is an account of a Ihnal, which
fome of Admiral RAItitLICS NUadtOn palTcd over
on their palfage to Bombay : Oa the 27th of Sep-
tember IA at noon, the CENT elllo,l, on founding,
found only 17 fathoms water, fhortly after at fa-
thoms, and then no ground, at 3{ fathoms. The
LANCASTER being about a mile to the fouthward
from the Cs:lst:we, founded at the fame time,
and had only ten fathoms of water, two rocks being
then in fight, one on each fide of the (hip, which ap•
peared to have much lefs water on them. After
raflit:g by theft rock. the water deepened gradually
to 17 fathoms, and then no ground at 50 fathoms.
The refult of the oLfervation made by the (hips at
noon, determines the latitude of the (boat to be 7 deg.
at min. frith, and its Inogitnele, by means of fere;
ral lunar obfervations made about the time, is 7a deg.

EXHIBITION, 11104.

!fix —4 Stories—N. Pococce.—Mr. Tiocot6 is a
Bond painter of nautical lubjeds.but time is tiotbise
in this pidure but what is extremely common place..
—l-1c quotes in the Catalogue a charming poets but
there is no poetry in his compofition.
is t. A bitsureci'd Mariner--11. Tut:lame, R.A.
Eled.—This is one of the moil intereaing pidures in
the Exhibition, both in relped to deign and general
elle& The attitude of the Defponding Sailor is that
of melancholy itfeif, and the expreffion of Hite face is
exquifitely fine. If any queftion stiles on the fubjeet,
it is how the unhappy objed of it got leased on fo
elevated a point of rock, which appears on alt fides

inacceffible:
123. The Ghofi—Brinter—Mottebik—Sir Ogees'
Beat:MONT, H.—There is a great deal of merit is
this piaure confidered as a &etch, The effete both
of winter ;tad moonlight are well preferved, Dot the
idea of the poet, of converting trees, am into rupee-
natural appearances, by the aid of a difordered fancy*
has not been followed up to its full extent. With the
exception of this remark, we could with Come of our
profeflional painters would take a few leffons frogs
this amateur difciple of nature.
32. I.lfitte and Bak—H. Ssmottwow...-This pee•
formance is from a moll interening paffage in a
Greek Poet, in which an anxious mother is defcribed
as drawing the attention of her infant by the difplay
of her holom, and thus relieving it from the danger
of its fituation, on the brink of a precipice, towards
which it had crawled. The :Utica is well conceived,
but the colouring is of a cold chalky hue, which robs
it of its effea, at the ditlance at which the piaure is
placed. We think it deferved a better fituation.
21. Portrait of Baron Grabans..—J. S. COPL Ts FL
A.—A flat and infipid liketiefs, greatly inferior to
Come former produaions of this artilt.
31. Portraits of Mrs Mosstape, Lady of Rear ifclas;•
rat Montague, and kr Brotber—Sasse pla rtsr.—T'hers
is a great deal of canvas wafted here to little purpofe
the figures above defcribed occupy only the centre of
the pieture, nor are the attitudes of either graceful
the execution is, however, better than the defign,
though not equal to the known talents of the painter.
72. Cicero, and the Magrates of Syrtis-aft Wfiting the
tomb of Artbirades.—B. F.ST, R. A.—The defign
and compofition of this piaure are good. but the out-
line is hard, and the colouring glaring ; foam of the
parts are moreover not fufficiently well made out, to
enable us to afcertaia on what ground the fecondary
figures are placed.
64. Someday Evening.—HA S,,Lssvar. This
Lady is particularly fuccefsful in fubjeas of this de-
fcription. The figures in this piaure are pleafingly
grouped, and the piCture is painted in a very mellow
tone ot colouring. The fcenery is that of a putout's
in which village children are a fferribled to learn facred
, mufic, under else tuition of a Lady.
I 1 t 6. An "'whack, or Snow Fall in the 41p.-J. P.
Ds Louritsasouito, R. A.—A fpirited landfcap
in which this phenoeietion is defcribed in a very Ws-
lime Rile ; but there is a green hue throughout the
planet, which is too prevalent in many of Mr. De
Loutherbourg's produainns.
131. Vglial lamenting the Death of Aclonie.—B. Was?,
IL A.—A molt beautiful cabinet piaure, in which
we do not know which to admire moll, the poe-
tical richnefs of the defign, or the (diatonic grandeur
of the campofition. The work. however, would
have been more perfe&, if the outiine of the figure
had been lefs bard, and the dittant objeas Ids ob.
trufive.
1311. Portrait if tbe Earl if Moira..—M, A. Seas,
R. A.—The molt confpicuous portrait in the exhibi-
tion, but not throughout painted with the artilk's
ufual good fuccefs. There is over the wteile ton great
a glare of light, and the attitude of the figure is not
fufficiently dignified, neither is the likenels of the
Noble General altogether happy.
:56. Portraits of three Ofwers int.-dad to doe
late P0p...-J. NOE TH COTS, R. A.—A firmly painted
piaure, but there are too many parallel lines in it,
and the colouring is rather cold and dirty.
140.—A portrait of Mr. Waber—j WA L a 114—the
care and accuracy with which ibis omit executes his
works, cannot be ton highly commended. It will be
difficult perhaps to find a more excellent produaion
than this amnngft the portraits of modern artifts,
either for colour, Ryle. or charaderillic expreifinn.
154—A portrait of Mr. Wilkes, by J. W
This is a forcible well cobalt ed head polfeffing a great
deal of nature.
4^2. Portrait of his Grace :lc Ear sf Howikess awl
R randon—J.Los so at 1 —The attitude of this portrait
is graceful and dignified, and the figure is brcught
out with much force and elte:.l ; the a opendages are
well conceived, and executed with judgment and tone
—the whole piaure refleas high credit On the
of the on&

JUDI A.—A rthate letter rays, that General Lases
conduct fince he took the field againit the lvlahrattas
is the admiration of all the. military men in that
country. At the liege of Agra, when the army lewd
expeiled to be put in motion, he, at midnight, or-
dered Colonel Monson, Mr. Lucas, and two or
three of his Gaff to be called up, and having con-
Inked with them on the anode of attack, gave orders
for the party &dined for this defpetate ving„A to
march out of the camp with the greatefi filence.—
This was done in fo fiildier like a manner, that nei-
ther the enemy, nor the rctl of the English army,
knew of his deligns, until the mit of the cannon
began. If it had not been carried in this manner,
and at that particular time, it is thought it might
have held out for fix months againtt all our twee in
India. There were found in it twenty-five lacks of
rupees in hard cath, and about fifteen art twenty mote
were expeifted to be difeovered. Thine was a French
Central of Bommeans's found in the fortrela, with
copies of all his eorrefpondence with the various
Princes in the country,exciting them to take op aims
againfi the Er,gli(b ; and it has Into ditrovcrett that
the (oldie!: who, Admiral lagois faid is his dif-
patches home, were left by him at Pondicherry, nun
cut to be all Officets of the fitfi abviny lent nut in dif-
guile as private fiilliers, to be &Whined amonga
the armies of the various Princes in the country.
rnis was done too at a time when France bad jaik
concluded the treaty of Amiens, or, let lcaft, while
Lord WHITWORTH was 9ill in Paris.
