Camp; and the air, "What Pleasure paft expreffing," fung by Mr. Kelly, are elegant and florid, while feveral other attractive objects prefent themselves to the tafteful and cultivated ear. We are glad to fee fuch talents as Mr. Mazzinghi's re-affume their dramatic occupation, and hope thofe men of fcience and original genius, who really merit the name of compofers, will not withdraw their powerful aid from the mimic scene. A Favourite March and Quick Step, for a Military Band and the Piano-forte. Compofed and dedicated to Thomas Burne, Efq. Major, and the Officers and Members of the Division of St. Mary, Newington, Surrey, by Julian Bufoy, Son of Doctor Bufby. 1s. 6d. Op. 1. This March, the score of which includes parts for two flutes, two trumpets, a drum, two horns, two clarinets, two baffoons and a ferpent, forms a production fo much above the years of the compofer, who we understand is not quite thirteen, that we could not perufe it without the highest admiration of fuch juvenile talent and fcience. The combinations is' every where correct; and the fubject matter is so easy and attractive in its ftyle, that the young piano-forte ftu. dent, will, we are confident, be as much delighted as improved by its practice. Three Sonatas for the Piano forte, with an Accompaniment for the German Flute, ad Libitum, in which are introduced an Original Paftoral and Fandango. Compofed and dedicated to his Friend Mr. L. Von Esch, by J. Maguie. 10s. 6d. Thefe Sonatas are compofed with confiderable tafte: fome of the movements are marked with originality, especially the Paftorale and Fandango, and the general effect befpeaks a degree of native genius which further experience will foon render ornamental to the profeffion in which it is difplayed. We cannot difmifs this article without noticing the elegant ftyle in which it is prefented to the public. The Frontilpiece is charmingly conceived and delicately executed; and every page of the mufic exhibits fpecimens of the neatest and most beautiful engravings we have ever seen. Three Canzonetts with an Accompaniment for the Piano-forte. Compofed and dedicated to Wm. Shield, Efq. by W. Ling. 5s. Mr. Ling has evidently beftowed much labour on thefe Canzonetts; they are throughout fcientifically correct, and the expreflion is juft and forcible. fomewhat more of Air pervaded the com Had pofitions, we fhould, perhaps, have been ftill better pleafed with them; but the merit we find well compenfates the little we mifs, and enables us to recommend this publication to the notice of all lovers of good vocal mufic. "We Hail Thee, Mirth," A Chearful Glee for Three Voices, as fung at the Glee Club, by Mers. Knyvetts and Sale. Written and compofed by M. P. King. 1s. 6d. This Glee, which is published with an conceived with fpirit; and the parts are accompaniment for the Piano-forte, is conftructed with ingenuity and science. The holding-note in the bafs on the fifth of the key produces an excellent effect, credit to the contrivance of the comand its refponfe in the alto part does pofer. Eighteen Waltzes, one Quadrille, and one Allemande, for the Piano-forte. Compofed for Her Imperial Majefly, the Empress of Ruffia, by Henry Baron de Bode, and dedicated to T. L. Parker, Efq. by L. Lavenu. 35. The Baron de Bode has evinced confiderable tafte in thefe little compofitions. We do not know that they have to boast any striking marks of originality; they are, however, eafy and natural in their ftyle, and, generally confidered, too far above mediocrity, not to please that class of Piano-forte practitioners for whofe use they are chiefly defigned. A Grand Sonata for the Piano forte, with or without the additional Keys. Compcfed and dedicated to Mifs Head, by William Fish. 35. Op. 1. Mr. Fish has produced in this Sonata a compofition of much fprightliness and fpirit. As a first publication is does credit both to the talents and judgment of its author, and promifes great future excellence. Some little awkwardneffes of conftruction occur in the first movement, and we were forry to find in the lat movement fo palpable a refemblance of the opening of Nicolai's popular fonata. Six Canzonetts with an Accompaniment for the Piano-forte. Compofed and dedicated to Mifs Warner, by F. H. Jones. 75. 6d. The words of these canzonets are felected from the poetry of Mr. Moore. Mrs. Opie and Mrs. Robinfon, to the elegance of whofe compofitions Mr. Jones's melodies bear a respectable affinity. Those airs in the prefent collection of which we may speak in the handsomeft terms, are the "Dream of Love," "Love Wandering," and "Go Youth beloved." Number 3. A Favorite Overture for the Pianoforte, with an Accompaniment for a Violin, ad Lebitum. Compofed by F. Kotzwara, Author of the Battle of Prague. 2s. This overture confifts of four movements which are contrafted with judgment, and calculated to produce much of that various and bufy effect common to the best modern pieces of this kind. The opening of the firft movement is remark ably bold and ftriking, and the closing movement is gay and animating. The Battle of the Nile, or Britannia Rules the Waves, a Patriotic Song. The Words by J. W. Fielding. 15. The "Battle of the Nile" is fet with much judgment and ability. The ideas, though fomewhat common-place, are fo arranged and connected as to form a regu lar and characteristic melody, which, if well fung, cannot fail to inspire loyal ardour and enthusiasm. Lady Maria North's Reel, arranged as a Rondo for the Piano-forte, and infcribed to her Ladyfhip by George Saffery. is. 6d. This Reel is pleafingly fancied, and forms one of thofe light and eafy exercifes for the piano-forte which are qualified to pleafe as well as improve the juvenile practitioner. STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS, THE BRITISH EMPIRE. have oc fhould not fuppofe it likely to lead to any difcuffions by which the vigorous com No very important change affairs of bination of the volunteer fyltem may be the British Government, during last loofened, or their patriot ardour extin month. The attention of the Executive Government has been fixed, as before, on the beft means for ftrengthening our general defence, and for annoying the enemy wherever they could be attacked, with the probability of fuccefs. Endeavours begin to be ufed, to render the volunteer force more perfectly military in its difcipline, and more çertainly fubfervient to the wines of Government; by referving to the commanders of the corps, the power, exclufively, to prefent to the Commander-in Chief, perfons who may fill the vacant appointments among the officers. But, this attempt is viewed by fome of the volunteers, as an infraction of the first conditions on which their fervices were offered. They infift, that the committees of the different corps ought ftill to fill up all vacancies. An eminent lawyer has given his opinion formally, that the law is in favour of their claim. The queftion is of high importance, and moft extenfively interelling; but, we guifhed in indifference and difcontent. It is understood, that Government leaves no fuitable means untried, to excite the independent Powers in the North of Europe, to that firm oppofition to the infidious policy, and the lawless encroachments of France, which the interefts of this country, and of furrounding nations, fo plainly and imperiously demand. Ireland continues tranquil. Sir Evan Nepean has fucceeded Mr. Wickham, in the office of Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant. In India, the Peifhwa of the Mahrattas, has ceded to the British, a territory, of which the yearly revenue is not lefs than 775,000l. tterling. oppofite, in more or lefs readiness for a delcent upon this country. Bonaparte, after another vifit to the coaft, and to Holland, has, again, without fending out the great expedition, returned to Paris. Those bodies are, now, affembled which, at least nominally, compofe the Legiflature of the French Republic. But, no difcuffions of intereft have lately arifen among them. It is understood, that the Confular Government now experiences the greatest financial difficulties. The expence of making and of keeping up its preparations naval and military, is very great. The importation of the precious metals into Europe from America, is much checked by the war. Public, and commercial credit has, at prefent, no fure existence in France. Spain and Portugal, however, harraffed by exactions, cannot adequately fupply the immenfe expenditure of the First Conful. TURKEY In Europe, is a prey to new infurrections. A body of rebels had advanced, in great force, almoft to the gates of Conftantinople. They have been bribed, it is faid, by a fum of money, to retire. If their retreat have, indeed, been obtained on terms fo ignominious; it muft be uncertain, how foon they may return, to levy another contribution. EGYPT By a treaty between the Turkish Com manders and the Beys of the Mamelukes, has been abandoned to the latter entirely. It seems to be their expectation, to remain, in future, independent lords of that country, perhaps under the protection of Ruffia and Great Britain. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL Are, from time to time, threatened with hoftilities from France, or called to take part in the war against Great Britain. They purchase a new term of neutrality by new payments. Portugal has lately ftipulated with General Lafnes, the French ambaffador at Lisbon, to pay 17 millions of livres for permiffion to remain, fome time longer, neutral, with out danger of invafion from France. THE ANGLO-AMERICAN STATES Have terminated another difpute with the Emperor of Morocco, partly by the vigorous operations of a small armed fquadron, in part by prefents, and a re newal of the wonted tribute or fubfidy, They have, already, taken poffeflion of the principal places of Louifiana. Befide the political advantages of their purchase of that territory, it is even in a commercial view, a good one; for, the American Government will be easily able to difpofe of the unoccupied lands to new colonists, for a much larger fum of money, than they have ftipulated to pay for the whole to France.

With Bi graphical Memoirs of diftinguished Characters recently deceased. The repairs which have been making, for fome time paft, at the Market-house in Newport-market, have been lately completed; and the Market-house was accordingly opened on Monday, January the 16th. The centrical fituation, the noble height and magnitude of the building, and the tasteful ingenuity with which the improvements have been made, cannot fail to render the market a very valuable acquifition not only to the neighbourhood, but to the whole weft end of the town. An immenfe affemblage of reptiles, infects, and stuffed animals, all in a high state of prefervation, the produce of Cayenne, and its vicinity, the Weft Indies, were lately fold by auction, at a broker's warehouse, near the Steel-yard. Several of the nakes were 20 feet and upwards in length; and there were fome ourang-outangs, nearly 6 feet in height. Many of the fpecimens of the quadrupeds were abfolutely unknown to the naturalifts of this country. This curious cargo, which was captured by one of our privateers, was addrefied to the First Conful; and when fold fetched the price of 3000 guineas. Nearly fix years had been employed in making the above collection. A beautiful toffelated Roman pavement was lately difcovered by fome workmen, who were employed to dig in Leadenhall-ftreet, oppofite the India-houfe, in this metropolis. The entire pavement is judged to have been a fquare of nine fect, in the centre of which is a circle of four feet, which circle contains a Bacchus, holding in his hand a thyrfus, or wand, and riding on a tyger. The figure is adorned with a purple robe, and the attitude of the animal is peculiarly grand and ftriking, his head looking at the figure on his back, one of his fore feet raifed, stepping well forward, and the tail extended. One piece of the pavement, of about four feet by two, has been raised uninjured, through the attention of fome antiquarian gentlemen that were prefent. An urn, in good preservation, has been likewife brought out, containing a quantity of bones, among which a finger and jawbone were plainly difcernible.
