It is also understood, that the permission granted by this article is not to extend to allow the vessels of the United States to carry on any part of the coasting trade of the said British territories, but the vessels of the United States having, in the first instance, proceeded to one of the said principal settlements of the Brittish domi nions in the East Indies, and then going with their original cargoes, or any part thereof, from one of the said principal settlements to another, shall not be considered as carrying on the coasting trade.

The undersigned, his Britannic Majesty's Charge d'Affaires in the United States of merica, is commanded by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, acting is the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to explain and declare, upon the exchange of the ratifications of the convention, concluded in Loudon on the 3d of July, in the present year, VOL. V. L 74 Incidents, &c. in London and Middlesex, for regulating the commerce and navigation between the two countries, that in consequence of events which have happened in Europe subsequent to the signature of the convention aforesaid, it has been deemed expedient and determined, in conjunction with the Allied Sovereigns, that St. Helena shall be the place allotted for the future residence of General Napoleon Bonaparte, under such regulations as may be necessary for the perfect security of his person; and it has been resolved, for that purpose, that all ships and vessels whatever, as well British ships and vessels as others, excepting only ships belonging to the East India Company, shall be excluded from all communication with, [Feb. 1, or approach to that island. It has therefore become impossible to comply with so much of the 3d article of the treaty, as relates to the liberty of touching for relicshments at the island of St. Helena. And the ratifications of the said treaty will be exchanged under the explicit declaration and understanding, that the vessels of the United States cannot be allowed to touch at or hold any communication whatever with the said island, so long as the said island shall continue to be the place of residence of the said Napoleon Buonaparte.

S. Arnold, to whom the public owe the establishment of the English Opera, is erecting a new ed fice for that entertainment, on the site of the Lyceum theatre. The architects are Mr. Samuel Beazley and Mr. Albinus Martin, whose chief study in the design has been accommodation and convenience, facility of ingress and egress, and security against every accident. Simplicity is intended to be the chief characteristic of its decorations. The form is a portion of an ellipsis, the transverse diameter of which is 35 feet, and the distance of the front boxes only 38, so that no person will be removed to such a distance from the actors as to require any efforts either to hear or see. It will contain two circles of boxes, with galleries and slips above; and the staircases are so contrived as to prevent the mixture of company in the dress boxes with that of the upper circles. To give greater facilities to the entrances, a new thoroughfare has been opened from the Strand to Exeter-street, in which will be placed the pit and gallery doors. From the pit to the street there is no step up or down. There are large tanks of water, with connecting pipes to every part of the building, and the use of iron, wherever it can be properly introduced, will give additional security against the danger of fire.

For his gallant and successful detence of that island against a very superior foice of the enemy, as well as for his conspicuous conduct at St. Lucia, in 1803, he was created a baronet. Shortly after his return to England, he was appointed lieutenant governor of Portsmouth, and to the command of the troops in that district. In the year 1808 he was selected to fill the important charge of heutenant zovernor and hieutenant general commandrag the forces in the province of Nova Scotia.

In Baker-street, Lieutenant General Sir GEORGE PREVOST, bart, colonel of the 16th regiment of foot, and late governor-in-chief and commander of the forces in the British colonies in North America. This officer, who was born in 1766, was the son of Major General Augustine Prevost, who served ander General Wolfe, was severely wounded on the plains of Abraham, near Quebec, and after wards eminently distinguished himself in the war of the American revolution, by his defence of Savannah. Sir George, who entered early into the army, was first brought upon th expedition at the cure of the Island of Martinique. After that service had been completed, he returned to his government in Nova Scotia, and upon the resignation of Gen. Sir James Craig, he was called to fill the high situation of governor in chief, and commander of the forces in all British North America He returned to England last year, to answer e Frain charges preferred against him, the investigation of which had been alone prevented, prior to his decease, by causes alt gether beyond his control. The disorder which shortened the days of this distinguished officer was dropsy, occasioned by a debilitated constitution, worn down by the fatigues and anxieties attendant upon the arduous duties of his late command. The first symptoms of the disease made their appearance during the journey which he was obliged to undertake over land, at a most inclement season, from Quebec to St. John, New Brunswick, in order to embark for England; to the exer tions of which it has since appeared he was wholly unequal. Sir George married in 1789, Catharine, daughter of Major Gen. Phipps, who survives him, together with a son, a minor, who succecds to the title, and two daughters. His two surviving brothers are both in his Majesty's service, the one being a post captain in the navy, and the other a colonel in the army. In Berkeley-square, AAN HYDE, Viscount GARDNER, K.C.B. vice admiral of the white. His lordship, born in 1772, succeeded his father, the late Lord G. in 1808. He entered early into the naval service, of which his ta.bet was such a distinguished ornament, and was made post in 1790. In 1796, when Lord Keith was sent against the Cape of Good Hope, he detached Captain Gardner with a squadron of small vessels, to re 1816.] Account of Ld. Gardner, Adm. Patton, Rev. Dr. Henley, &c. 77. duce the Dutch settlements in Ceylon, which service he performed most successfully and expeditiously. He has since been employed, with uniform credit to himself, and benefit to his country in various quarters of the globe, and received well-earned honours from his sovereign. While serving on the India station, he married, in 1796, at Madras, Maria, only daughter of Thomas Adderley, esq. of Innishannon, in the county of Cork, by Margaret, afterwards the first wife of the earl of Buckinghamshire, who was then governor of that settlement. This marriage was dissolved by act of parliament, and his lordship was united, in 1809, to Charlotte, daughter of Lord Carrington, who died in 1811 leaving him a son, Alan Legge, born Jan. 1810, and one daughter, Charlotte Susan, born December 1810. The former, of course, succeeds to the titles and estates. At Penrhyn, in the county of Carnarvon, ANNE SUSANNA, relict of Lord PENRHYN, whom she married in 1765, and who was elevated to that title in 1783. She was the only daughter and heiress of Gen. Warburton, of Winnington, Cheshire, by Anne, who with her sister, Gwen, lady Yonge, of Escot, in Devonshire, became co heiresses on the death of their brother, Sir Robert Williams of Penrhyn, bart. without issue. Sir William Yonge sold his moiety to the late Lord Penrhyn, by which that fine property became again entire, and enabled his lordship to exert the active beneficence of his disposition, and to render his extensive domains at ce productive and ornamental. At Flectanld, near Fareham, Hants, at a very advanced age, PHILIP PATTON, esq. admiral of the red. This officer served as a midshipman under Boscawen in 1755, was present at the siege of Louisburg in 1759, and the year following in the naval engagement off Lagos, as well as in that fought by Hawke with Conflans. He was made post in 1773, and in the Belle Poule took the Cologne, commanded the notorious Luke Ryan. In 1780 he was flag captain to admiral Digby in the action with the Spanish fleet under Langara. From 1782 he re. mained unemployed till 1803, when he hoisted flag as port admiral in the Downs, and was next year appointed to a seat at the admiralty board, which he held till the change of ministers in 1806, since which time he has lived in retirement at Fleetland. Here however, the leisure of this gallant veteran was devoted to the welfare of his country, and in 1810 he published a valuable work, under the title of The Natural Defence of an Insular Empire earnestly recommended," 4to. His remains were interred at Fareham, attended by about 70 warrant officers of the royal navy, as a tribute of grateful respect to his memory, for his having, in the work above-mentioned, earnestly recommended the means of ameliorating their situation in the service. At Rendlesham, Suffolk, the Rev. SAM, HENLEY, D. D. rector of that parish, 71. He was previously to the rebellion of the American colonies, professor of moral philosophy in the college of Williamsburg in Virginia, and afterwards one of the assistants at Harrow school. In 1778, he was chosen a mere ber of the Society of Antiquaries, and presented, about the same time, to the rectory of Rendlesham. In 1805, he was appointed principal of the East India College at Hertford, from which office he not long since retired. He was the author of "Three Sermons," preached in America, 1. For the benefit of a fund for poor widows and orphans of clergynien in Virginia. 2. The distinct claims of government and religion considered, (1772). 3. On the anniversary of the foundation of the college at Williamsburg." Dissertation concerning the controverted Passages in St. Peter and St. Jude, concerning the Angels that sinned," 8vo.1778.

Dr. Henley was also the editor of "The History of the Caliph Vathek," from an unpublished MS. by William Beckford, esq. with Notes, 8vo. 1786; and there are some papers from his pen in the Archæologia. At Sandal, near Wakefield, the Rev. THOMAS ZOUCH, D. D. F. L. S. prebendary of Durham, and rector of Wycliffe, Yorkshire. This venerable divine was born in 1737, at Sandal, and in 1757 removed from Wakefield school to Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1760, he was elected to one of Lord Craven's scholarships, together with Mr. Joah Bates, afterwards celebrated for his skill in music. The year following he took his degree of B. A. and was classed as the third wrangler. Having been chosen fellow of his college in 1763, he was appointed assistant tutor, which office he discharged with extraordinary credit, though his assiduity so much impaired his health, that he was obliged to quit the university; on which his college presented him, in 1770, to the rectory of Wycliffe, in the North Riding of Yorkshire. In this retirement, he continued many years, performing the office of parish priest with exemplary diligence, and enlarging his knowledge of natural history. His botanical excursions in a pleasant and romantic country tended not a little to invigorate his constitution. In 1795, he succeeded, on the death of his elder brother, the Rev. Henry Zouch, to an estate at Sandal, where he afterwards resided. In 1798, Mr. Pitt had it in contemplation to appoint him to the mastership of Trinity College, |
