thought proper 70 continue him in the chair,
butit does not prove that his abilities are
not held in contempt by these advocates.
But Judging from my Own observations, |
do not think SO meanly of his abilities.
His reputation has been much above the
level of his genius; it is now something
below. Mature designed him for an inge-
Nous inquirer. He reasons very preaily
upon physicks, and would preside with
some dignity over a province OF skepticks,
provided there was no other province on
earth. Bat the president ofa great nation,
in the present order of shings, oughs u
possess somewhat of the spirit OF a war
rior: even to know a little OF the theory
of war might be expediens. Mr.. tIsfer-
sons warmest panegyrists donor prstsnd
ne has gone further in,that science than the
method of retreat. We have as. great
proof of his nagnanimity as a-copsunmate
patience of insults can give, and he has
left us to judge of his capacity 10 politics
by his rcsource,in blunders.
AS 90 the quality of his heart, much has
been said on both sides; ailftryiug5 history
will Inform posterity on that point. Il ne,
has acted a double part with the character
of Washington, if he paid Calender no,
more than one hundred dollars tohe with.
QUE. intermission, if he has turned out of
Office men unexcep,ionable, and receive
ed renegados, to crafty personal revenge,
IF he has invaded the constitution with
malice .prepense, if the combined sense of
friendship and honor is inferior 70 his Ii.
bidinous sense--I shall not scruPleso affirm
that his name viii never be forgotten, and
the OILY actin his power, that can add ius-
ire. to. his Immortality, Is to suPplicate.
God, thatit may never be remembered"

PICTUR e q II l. L RI.
Most of the artists have sent IN their
works for this years public exhibition, and
the hanging committee are busily employ
ed in arranging them according to their re-
spectiye msriss. Having obtalnrd admis-
sion to he gallery, we this day present our
readers with the first number of series OF
our account of the most distinguished pie
ces.
No. T.. AfulIlensih portrait OF sir Fran

r. A. and A. S. S. His iordship is drawn
seated at his table, counting, his money
bags, while one Of his servants is seen
6lcning the. guineas, and trsttiag off with
them to his banker. The outline is bold,
but the colouring is course, and the light
and shade are injudiciously. contrasted.
There is a palpahIe error IN the costume,
which is Caledonian, as IL also the cast OF
his lordship's features.
No. II. A portrait of Alexander the
Great, by Mr.. Wellesley, R. A. The'he-

presented, visiting the camp Of Darius, OF

steed Bucephalus, capering and prancing

ing cut for mercy. AT first glace, this
painting has something theair of ST. George
and the Dragon; but, upon an attentive
view, we recognize, In both the horse anG
:the rider, great deal of the expression of
Don Quixotte aud Rosinante. This piece
is finely painted, but we think there is TOO
7 much glare and glitter in the colors. here
is also palpable Gndckronism IN the de-
sign; some thousands of years having in
te4vened between lifetime of Alexander the
Great and the establishment of the tompa-
ny in question.

a newpiece entitled The 1esstk RePera,
is'in preparation and will shortly be:pro-
duced at.,hls Theatre. Ii was originally
intended by the author for farce, but be-
ing lately submitted TO the examination Of
some shrnde critics, they thought the fable

The piece has been got up at great expence,
and reflects much credit to the liberality
Of the managers. The scenery is very
