Lonsdale; engraved by George "Clint; published by Clint. Too much praise cannot be given to Miss Linwood for her invention of this new style of picturing, "A Michael's grandeur and a Raphael's grace."-ROGERS... And for the perfection to which she (herself the inventor) has at once attained. There are more pictures than when they were at Hanover-square, and better arranged; the great gallery is magnificent and furnished with much taste. The Gothic Room, the Cottage, Ruins, and Dens, are so admirably managed, and keep up the necessary deception so well as to increase the effect as well as the pleasure of viewing them. In the tasteful room adjoining the gallery, is the celebrated Carlo Dolci of Christ Blessing the SacraMONTHLY MÃO.

From the sombre hue of the picture, so truly characteristic of the melancholy scene, there can be no doubt of its being one of the best subjects for the graver, that ever was transferred from the cau vas to the copper, the aid of colouring not being so necessary an accessory in this as in many pictures. The exhibition of the Royal Academy is one of the finest that has been seen for some years; a detailed account of the best pieces shall be noticed in our next.“ Hayley's Life of Romney the Painter is nearly completed, and may be shortly expected. The subscription for the Lectures of the late Professor Opie, delivered at the Royal Academy, are still open; their publication is anxiously expected. Mr. Thomas Hope's Work on the Costume of the Ancients is also nearly ready for publication. Mr. Christie will have to offer to the public about the middle of May, a splendid and valuable Collection of Ancient Stained Glass, among which is a window of the Judgment Day, 17 feet high, and seven feet wide. The View of Dover, which Mr. Barker has opened in the Strand, is executed with a degree of spirit and brilliancy, beyond what we have ever seen in any panorama; he has evidently taken it from the pier, which is a most commanding situation, and shews to advantage every object of consequence, connected with that ancient and celebrated port. It is difficult to say, in what parts he has most excelled, for the effect throughout is good, but in our opinion the sea and sky are particularly fine. A silver medal, in commemoration of the abolition of the slave-trade, des signed, and executed by eminent artists, has been presented to the British Mu seum, by some gentlemen for the above purpose. On one side, there is a portrait of William Wilberforce, esq.

SWEDEN, HE King of Sweden has been removed under a strong escort, from Dortmingholm to Gripsholm, a palace about 45 English miles from Stockholm. He has hitherto been kept closely confiner, and has not been permitted to see the Queen. The following circular letter, addressed to the Public Boards, Courts of Justice, and Consistories throughout Sweden, has been lately, issued: CHARLES, by the grace of God, &c. Whereas in consequence of the events which have lately taken place, his Royal Majesty is not able to superintend and direct the affairs of the realm; therefore, we being the only Prince of the Royal Family who is of age, have found ourselves obliged to assume, for the present, the reins of Government, and shall endeavour to acquit ourselves of this arduous task in such a manner, that the Empire may regain its former tranquillity and peace both abroad and at home, and trade and industry be revived, it being our firm determination to deliberate jointly with other states of the realm on the means which shall appear best calculated to promote the welfare of the Swedish people. We therefore charge and command you to evince towards us that fidelity and attachment which our upright intentions, and the security of the country demand at the present time. Your official reports are to be addressed to his Royal Mathe minority of the King, we presided over jesty, in the same manner as when during the management of the concerns of the State, We, &c. &c. CHARLES. "M. ROSENBLAD, Stockholm Castle, March 13, 1809. AUSTRIA. AUSTRIA. Proclamation by the Archduke Charles to the The protection of our country calls us to new exploits. As long as it was possible to preserve peace by means of sacrifices, and as long as these sacrifices were consistent with the honour of the throne, with the security of the state, and with the welfare of the people, the heart of one bountiful sovereign suppressed every painful feeling in silence, but when all endeavours to preserve happy independence from the insatiable ambition of a foreign conqueror prove fruitless when nations are falling around us, and when lawful sovereigns are turn from the hearts of their subjects, when, in fine, the danger of universal subjugation threatens even the happy States of Austria, and their peaceable fortunate inhabitants, then does our country demand its deliverance from us, and we stand forth in its defence. On you, my dear brother soldiers, are fixed the eyes of the universe, and of all those who still feel for national honours and national prosperity. You shall not share their disgrace of becoming the tools of oppression.. You shall not carry on the endless wars of ambition under distant climes. Your blood shall never flow for foreign fleets and foreign covetousness; not on you shall the curse. alight to annihilate innocent nations; and over the bodies of the slaughtered defenders of their country to pave the way for a foreigner to the usurped throne. A happfer lot awaits you; the liberty of Europe has taken refuge) under our banners. Your victories will loose its fetters, and your brothers in Germany, yet in the ranks of the enemy, long for their deliverance. You are engaged in a just cause, otherwise I should not appear at your head. On the fields of Ulm and Marengo, whereof the enemy so often remind us with ostentatious pride, on these fields will we renew the glorious deeds of Wurtzburgh and Ostrach, of Liptingen, Stockach and Zurich, of Ve rona, of the Trebbia and Novi. We will conquer a lasting peace for our country; but, the great aim is not to be attained without great virtues. Unconditional subordination, strict discipline, persevering courage, and unsbaken steadiness in danger, are the com- · panions of true, fortitude. Only a union of will, and a joint co-operation of the whole, lead to victory. your My sovereign and brother has invested me with extensive powers to reward and punish. I will be every where in the middle of you, and you shall receive the first thanks of country from your general on the field of battle. The patriotism of many of the Austrian nobility has anticipated your wants; this is a pledge in the fullest measure, of the public gratitude; but punishment shall also, with inflexible rigour, fall on every breach of duty; merit shall meet with reward, and offence with animadversion, without distinction of person or rank; branded with disgrace shall the worthless person be cast out to whom life is dearer than his and our honour. Adorned with the marks of public esteem, will I present to our Sovereign, to the world, those brave men who have deserved well of their country, and whose names I will ever carry in my heart. There remains one consideration, which I must put you in mind of: the soldier is only formidable to the enemy in arms; civil virtues mast not be strangers to him; out of the field of battle, 'towards the unarmed citizens and peasants, he is moderate, compassionate, and humance knows the evils of war, and strives to lighten them. I will punish every wanton excess with so much greater severity, as it is not the intention of our monarch to oppress neighbouring countries, but to deliver them from their oppressors, and to form with their princes a powerful bond in order to bring about a lasting peace, and to maintain the general welfare and security. Soon will foreign troops, in strict union with us, attack the common enemy. Then, brave companions in arms! honour and sup port them as your brothers; not vain-glorious high words, but manly deeds, do honour to the warrior; by intrepidity before the enemy you must shew yourselves to be the first sol diers. Thus then shall I one day lead you back to your own country, followed by the respect of the enemy, and by the gratitude of foreign nations, after, having secured by your arma an honourable peace, when the satisfaction of our Monarch, the approbation of the world, the rewards of valour, the blessings of your fellow, citizens, and the consciousness of deserved repose await you. CHARLES, Archduke, Generalissimo. Vienna, April 6, 1809. Paris letters of the 16th of April state that hostilities have begun with Austria. telegraph, Napoleon and his wife arrived According to an account received by the at Strasburgh on the 15th, at five in the morning. All hope of preserving the peace of the Continent is therefore lost. Hostilities took place on the 10th of this month, on which day the Austrian army crossed the frontiers, and entered Bavaria. The advance upon the Bavarian territory was notified upon the 9th, to the King of Bavaria, by a letter from the Archduke Charles, upon which his Majesty resolved to leave his capital, and he removed to Dellingen, a town on the Danube. The Austrian troops which were in Moravia and Austrian Silesia, and the most part of those which were in the north of Hungary, have filed off for Boheinia. The |
