Rofe; in the whole between 3 and 400; and a detachment of the Scotch Greys, quartered in the neighbourhool. After breakfasting at the cottage, their Majesties and the royal family embarked from the beach, where the troops were again drawn up; the cliff behind them covered with people. As foon as the boats put off from the fhore, the troops fired a triple volley; then the yachts and frigates faluted, and the whole was closed by a fire of the artillery all along the line on the Western extremity of the Ifle of Wight, The weather was uncommonly fine. Their Majesties did not arrive at Weymouth till after 12 o'clock at night, when their Majefties and the five Princeffes landed. The wind blowing a smart breeze from the Weftward, they were not expected that night; the troops were all difmiffed, and only a few ftragglers, owing to the latenefs of the hour, remained to welcome them. Their Majesties walked from the place of landing to Gloucester-lodge, in apparent good fpirits.

DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.

We gladly take the first opportunity of contradicting a paragraph in fome copies of our laft Magazine, p 662 (which we detected in time to remove it from a confiderable part of our impreffion) refpecting fmall Bank Notes. The article was too implicitly copied from a very respect able and loyal provincial paper; the printer of which has fince apologized, by ftating, "that he was grotsly imposed on, the whole being a fcandalous fabrication, calculated for the purposes of depreciating the circulation of the Bank of England paper;" a motive fo deteftable that we could not paffibly fufpect it. On the contrary, we folemnly believed that the wishes of the Bank would be materially forwarded by extending the circulation of the notice.

Delatre v. Copley.-This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an engraver, against the defendant, who is a painter, to recover the fum of 650l. being the remainder of the fum of 8col. which the defendant undertook to pay to the plaintiff for engraving, upon a smaller or contracted fuale, the refemblance of the picture of the "death of Lord Chatham;" which the plaintiff was to do from a larger engraving, executed by Bartolozzi, from a drawing of Cipriani, &c. The plaintiff had executed this piece of engraving, which took him up three years and upwards to perform; and Bartolozzi had 2000 guineas for that of which his was to be the copy.

It appeared, by the evidence of Mr. Bartolozzi, that this piece of engraving was very well executed, confidering it was a copy three times removed from the original; that is, a copy of a copy, &c.; and that it was upon a reduced fcale, which made it the more difficult to preserve the likepeffes of all the figures in the groupe of the piece, which are 52 in number; that the plaintiff was a man of very confiderable kill in his profeffion; and, as a proof that fuch was the opinion of Mr. Bartolozzi, he himself employed him in the engraving a part of the other work, for which he gave him 7po guineas, &c.; that the piece of engraving in question was certainly the best performance of the plaintiff's graver, and fuch as ought to have fatisfied Mr. Copley; but who, Mr. Barto lozzi thought, was never to be fatisfied with the performance of any engraver who had to engrave for him in imitation of any of his pictures; and therefore he was dif fatisfied with this performance, &.: co pies of it were produced, as well as of Bartolozzi's.
