Dupuis had the fuperintendance of the vocal department, being the compofers of the chapel. The organ was played by the latter. Mr. Cramer led the orchestra with his ufual fpirit and ability. The principal violoncello was by Mr Crofdill, the tenor by Shield, the lautboy by Parker, and the trumpet by Serjeant. The mufic of the anthem, is grand and impreffive, and took upe xactly half an hour in perform ance. 11. Arrived at Plymouth, from Guadaloupe, his majetty's fhip Boyne, of 98 guns, vice-admiral fir John Jervis, captain George Grey, after a paffage of seven weeks; fir Charles Grey came paffenger in her, and landed that afternoon at Plymouth. When the Boyne left the Weft-Indies, the French captured islands were all fafe, though in a very reduced ftate, and anxiously waiting reinforcements from England: the French had made feveral attempts to storm Fort Matilda, the only place in the poffeffion of the British troops at Guadaloupe, but hitherto without fuccefs. The Ramilies, of 74 guns, with general Vaughan on board; the Majeftic, of 74 guns, admiral Caldwell; Thefeus, of 74 guns, capt. Calder; and Bellona, of 74 guns, capt. Wilson, were arrived at Guada loupe, but no British troops had reached the island from any quarter, at the time the Boyne failed; nor does it appear that any French men of war, or troops from Europe, had arrived in the WeltIndies. The fever which had raged in the ifland fo long, to fuch an alarming de gree, was confiderably abated, and the troops and inhabitants are getting much more healthy. A great many of the Boyne's crew died in the Weft-Indies, but that ship is now free from fevers of any fort. 12. John Cawardine, clerk to Meff. Cox and Biddulph, who lately abfconded with cash and notes to the amount of eight thousand pounds, was taken into cuftody by the conftables belonging to the public office in Great Mariborough-ftreet, and brought before the magiftrates at the faid office to be examined. 12. Sailed from Spithead twenty fail of light traniporis, under convoy 55 of a floop of war, for the Downs. 12. Mr. Martin, the only perfon in cuftody that stood indicted for treafon, was elcorted from the Tower by one of the warders and the deputy, to the gentleman gaoler, to judge Lawrence's, Bedford-fquare, where he was discharged and delivered to the Tipftaff, who conducted him to the King's Bench prison, from whence he had before been removed. 14. The indefatigable exertions in fitting out the British fleet, are highly creditable to the new firfl lord of the admiralty; and from the fuperiority of the equipment of our hips, they must be more than a match for any force the enemy can being against them.-Earl Howe, we are happy to learn, continues in the command, with lord Bridport his fecond. The valuable fleet from Oporto, with the Adventure, of 44 gun, are fately arrived in the harbour of Baltimore and Kintale, in Ireland. 14. A contract has lately been made for 10,000 barrels of porter, part of which will be fent to the Weft-Indies, part to Gibraltar, and the remainder to the land of Jersey. MARRIAGES. January 1.

THE Lady's Magazine; For FEBRUARY, 1795: THE GLANCER. No. II. the great object of a very principal part of polite education is to inftru&t us to make allowance for those im "Hanc veniam petimufque damufque perfections in others, from which we A viciffim." HOR. MONG the various arts which the bufy race of mankind have invented, there is one, which, though certainly not fufficiently cultivated, is by no means of the leaft importance; I mean the art of paffing through life with tranquillity and pleasure to ourselves, and as little offence as poffible to others. For the advancement of this most valuable and beneficial art, the rules of what is ufually termed politenefs and good breeding were originally intended; and though they have degenerated too much into frivolous ceremony, they are not wholly without their utility. They still tend curb and conceal thofe felfish paffions which would kindle enmity and eternal war between man and man, and fpread a friendly veil over the more imperfect and bafer qualities of our nature. For to the imperfection of our nature, and the undue predominance of the paffions which originate in felflove, is it to be attributed that the intercourfe between men is neceffarily more or lefs artificial; and that are ourselves by no means exempt, and to teach us to footh their vanity and felf-love by facrificing à part of our own. Egotifm, pofitivenefs, pertinacity in opinion, and every thing which centers in felf, are therefore most evidently contrary to the very first principles of politeness, which require that we should feem totally to have forgotten ourselves in our refpect for, and our wish to ferve, others; that our whole attention fhould be directed towards them; that we fhould appear to be convinced of their fuperior importance; and on every occafion feem to prefer their eafe and convenience to cur own. And thus are we arrived at the grand difficulty which frequently much embarraffes the honeft, incere, and virtuous man, in his commerce with the polite world. To fuch a perfon the diftinction between goodbreeding and hypocrify appears fo nice, fo difficult exactly to define, they are divided by a partition fo thin, that he frequently refufes to attempt to fteer between this Scylla and Charybdis, and refolves to be rude, that he may be certain he is not infincere. He glories, it may be, I 2 |
