GRAND DUKE MICHAEL.

DOCK, PLYMOUTrt,SEPTEMBEIt 19.
His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Micssa.m.
honoured this Port.with a visit on Sunday last. At
two o'clock he was driven to the Admiral's Hard, at
Stonehouv, where he embarked in Lord Exmourit's
barge for Mount Edgecumbe, bearing the Russian
standard, and under a royal salute from the shipping,
,batteries, and lines. On landing in Barnpool the
Russian standard was hoisted. His Imperial High-
ness was welcomed by the noble owner of the Mount
in per Son, as well as by a royal salute from the bat-
tery ; and after vranderi:.g through the flower gar-
dens, with which he was exceedingly gratified, dined
with his Lordship in company with Lord EXMOUTH,
Captain EKINS, Sir THOMAS and Lady HARDY, and
others. On the following morning this distinguished
stranger paid a visit to the Breakwater, and thence
went on board the IMPREGNABLE, the flag-ship, un-
der another salute, which was magnificently deco-
r iced with the colour, of all nations, the Russian
Eagle and the Union Jack being hoisted together at
the main truck, and the yards manned with seamen,
dressed in blue jackets and white trowsers, which
altogether produced a very grand effect. His Impe-
rial Highness then proceeded to the Canopus, one of '
the ships taken from the French during the war,.
which he inspected with particular attention. To
this followed the Dock-yard, where Commissioner
SHIELD and the other officers of the yaid, with Major
General BROWNS and staff, a guard of honour, and
a band of music, awaited his Imperial Highness.—
At the instant of his entering the yard, the Russian
Eagle ascended the flag-staff of the chapel tower,
and the bells rung a merry peal, whilst his Imperial
Highness was employed in•examining the various
objects which court admiration in this extensive and
noble arsenal, which occupied nearly three hour;.—
, His Imperial Highness, having finished this interest-
lug visit, returned to dinner at Mount Edgcumbe.—
'Tueiday morning was devoted to a grand review of
-she 61st and 85th Itegitnentt, the At tillery, and a
detachment of the 7th Dragoons, which was attend-
ed by thousands otspectators. After the review was
over, his Imperial Highness dined with. Lord Ex-1
stotrrst -and the heads of the different Government
departhlent.s. In the evening he slept at Whitten's
Royal Hotel, and on Wednesday morning, "after
visiting the citadel, and pres.enting a donation of £5O
to the charitable institutions in Pljrnouth, his Impe-
rial Highness quitted the Port, with the intention of
making a tour along the Sea Coast through Sid-
mouth, Weymouth, &c.

The Archduke MICHAEL and his suite were net
received every where with the same graciousness. On
appication to an eminent manufactory in Lanarkshire'
for permission to see the works, one of the partners,
with the true surliness of John Bull, said, that he was
very willing to admit the Prince himself, but did not
chuse to extend his permission to his followers, who,
were, probably, he said, come of them mechanists or
.draftsmen, disguised as Noslenvn, and seat here for
the purpose of copying our most valuable inventions
and machinery. Snch things, he said, had occurred
before, To his certain &non:lase.

The Spanish General CEVALLO3 died at Bourdeaux
on the 7th instant, at the age of 65 years, forty-three

country. It was this General who, at Toulon, in
1791+, succeeded in getting on board of a vessel under
his command, to take to Carthagena, more than 400.

of the Commissaries of the Convention, sent to that

WILLIAM GIFFORD, EsQ.—We understand that
the NEW MONTHLY MAOAEINZ for October 1, will
contain a fine Portrait, accompanied by an interesting
Memoir of WILLIAM GIFFORD, Esq. the Editor of
the Quarterly Review. It appears that the Proprietor
of this Miscellany has lately obtained such an acces-
sion of talent, as will render it by far the most in-
teresting publication of its kind extant. The Num-
bers are also henceforth to be embellished with
Portraits of the most distinguished Characters of the
present day.
CHRIST'S Hosviraz.—.-Yesterday being St. Ma-
thew's Day, or Oration Day of this School, the LORD

tended by the City Marshals on horseback, Marshal-
men, &c. on foot, procedied in grand state from the
Mansion House to Christ Church, Newgate•street,
where they were met by the Governors of the several
Royal Hospitals. A most excellent Sermon was
reached on the occasion by the Rev. JOHN ROOER3
PITMAN, A. M. who took his text rrom the Book of
Ecclesiastes. The church was crowded with respect,
able persons. They, after Divine Service, repaired'
to the great hall of the Hospital. The Latin Oration
