ordered some carpets and desired them to be sent home to his master's lodgings, (giving the name of an officer) with a bill and a receipt, and change for a note for 401. On taking them, the man carried the goods up stairs, and then returned for the receipt and change which the boy jucautiously gave him; he then desired the hoy to step up into the drawing room, and his master, who was dressing, would come to him. After waiting some time, the boy, on inquiring, found that the man had goue out; and the landlady stated that he had called to enquire for apartments for his master, who he said would be there in the evening.

Also that a man calling himself JAMES WILLIAMS, has lately applied to some Wine and Porter merchants with orders, stating that he was landlord of a certain publichouse in the country, and at the same time borrowing a few shillings under some trifling pretence. Previously to executing the orders, it is found that his tale is false. He is about five feet seven inches high, thin, with a pale complexion, and dark kees

eyes, and had on a brown great coat, pantaloons tied at the ancles, and worsted stockings. Also that a person calling himself RICHARD PORTER, late of Englefield, Bear Reading, has neglected several bills inted London," some signed" JOHN BLACKLIN," and others ROBERT GUMBLATON," which are addressed to and appear to be accepted by Mr. WILLIAM HATHAWar, No. 9, Green-street, Church-street, Blackfriar's-road, and which are disbonoured when due.

An article from Madrid contains a letter from the Governor of Gibraltar, addressed to the Spanish Commandant at St. Roche, stating that information had been received in that garrison of the plague having broken out in Algiers with renewed violence. More than ninety persons die daily at Constantine, and it is calculated that nearly ten thousand have fallen victims to it in the town of Algiers alone.

Accounts from Germany state, that the Emperor of Austria is about to resume the title of Emperor of Germany; that his eldest son will be called King of Germany, and his brother, the Archduke Charles, be appointed Grand-Marshal of the Empire. American papers have arrived to the 25th January. By a vessel which had arrived at Baltimore from Campeachy, which she left on the 12th December, intelligence was brought, that a few days before she sailed, the sofortunate Mina was executed in the vicinity of Mexico; and that his followers were either dispersed or destroyed. On the day of Mina's execution, the city of Mexico was brilliantly illuminated. These papers contain a confirmation of the report, noticed in former ones, of an embargo having been laid on the American shipping at Cuba, amounting to between one and two hundred sail.

then took the oaths of allegiance to his Majesty; after which, a royal proclamation was published, and King Charles Joha proclaimed on the 6th, by the herald, in the usual form. The proclamation recites the unanimous election, by virtue of which the Crown Prince was chosen on the 21st August, 1810, in consequence of events in which he had himself no share, but which decided the free and independent re-olutions of the Estates of Sweden. On the 7th the Estates were solemnly assembled, when they took the oath of allegiance to the King, upon his throne, the Crown Prince (Oscar) setting the example. The most perfect tranquillity is represented to have prevailed throughout the capital and dominions of Sweden when the accounts came away.

The accession of Bernadotte, now Charles John, King of Sweden, to the throne of that country, and the unanimous acknowledgment of him by all the potentates of Europe, forms an era in the story of modern times. His, perhaps, is the only head that has ever worn a crown purchased by virtue only. It is a situation of great trial, even ́ to those who are born to it, as an inheri tance; but to Bernadotte, its difficulties are increased, in proportion to the expectations of those, who now, with one common consent, unite to bail his accession. Washington, it is true, without the name, ascended from the walks of private life, to wield the Sceptre of a powerful nation. › But Washington had by his single talents emancipated that people, and erected America into an Independent Government. When, therefore, the voice of gratitude proclaimed him Sovereign, the judgment of the word coincided in the declaration, and Washington became the unenvied ruler of the new word. With Bernadotte the circumstances are different. The child of fortune, he has gained the summit of earthly grandeur, despight the opposition of opinions, and succeeded to the throne of an ancient and established monarchy without the stain of a single crime, and at the moment when the revolution, which first called him from the walk of life in which he was born, is at an end, and the power of his mighty master is annihilated for ever. Placed in circumstances of such perilous trial, how he will acquit himself, it is impossible to foresee, hut if a judgment may be formed from bis past conduct, we have every reason to augur most favourably of him.

At a Meeting of a General Committee of the LONDON INFIRMARY for CURING DISEASES of the EYE, held the 11th of March, 1818, specially convened to receive the Report of a Committee appointed at a special and numerous Meeting of the General Committee, on the 21st of November, 1817, to take into consideration a Pamphlet, entitled "A Letter to the Right Honourable and Honourable the Directors of Greenwich Hospital, containing an exposure of the measures resorted to by the Medical Officers of the London Eye Infirmary, for the purpose of retarding the adoption and execu tion of plans for the extermination of the Egyptian Ophthalmia from the Army and from the Kingdom, submitted for the ap. proval of Government."-By Sir WILLIAM ADAMS.

The following Resolutions were passed unanimously:

That the Report of the Special Committee, and the Letters of Dr. FARRE, of the 3d and 10th instant, which have now been read, be published, and that a copy be delivered to every Governor of the Infirmary.

That this Committee entertain the highest sense of the talents, integrity, and zeal, of Dr. FARRE, which, whether called into exertion by motives of public benevolence, of private friendship, or of professional duty, have alike advanced the interests of this institution.

That this Committee acknowledge with great satisfaction the important services derived to this Charity, from the able and upright professional conduct of BENJAMIN TRAVERS, Esq. F.R.S. and WILLIAM LAWRENCE, Esq. F.R.S.

That the acknowledgments of this Committee are also eminently due to RICHARD BATTLEY, Esq. Honorary Secretary, who, during the course of Thirteen Years, has, on every occasion, manifested an anxious zeal for, and has contributed extensively to the advancement of, the interest of this institution.

That this Committee cannot conclude the subject which has recently engaged their attention, without the deep and pointed expression of their regret, that the duty of a public appeal in explanation of the manage

THE

ment of the Infirmary, and of the conduct of the Officers of the Charity, should have become necessary; nor without expressing a hope, that a plain and simple regard to truth, will prevent the necessity of any fur ther similar proceeding.

The affairs of India, according to the last accounts received from Bengal and Madras, are pregnant with interest, and it is admitted in the ministerial papers that they are not wholly free from grounds of fear. There appears a system of co-operation among the native princes, that will require all the force we have in the East to subdue. -The Marquis of Hastings evidently perceives the approaching storm, and is making active preparations to meet every contingency, and we are assured is perfectly confident of success. In October, the whole of the army was in the field at Madras, and the army of Bombay was similarly situ ated. Considerable reinforcements have been ordered, and every necessary arrangement has been made for carrying into effect ulterior objects of the greatest importance, as the governor-general was moving up the country with a large staff. One great object of his Excellency, it is understood, is to insist that a subsidiary force shall be placed on each of the Mahratta chiefs ;-that is, an English force is to occupy the head-quarters, and hold the person of the Indian Prince, having a district of country assigned for their maintenance, and au English Ambassa dor at the Court to take care of their inte rests. Tins is already partially the case, but according to the projected plan it is to be now general. The Indian army is to be considerably strengthened, and the Directors have each had the nomination of nine Cadets, the present winter, though their usual number has been two. The state of affairs in India is such, that we expect to have important intelligence from that quarter by the next arrivals from Bengal or Madras,

Accounts from Germany state, that the Emperor of Austria is about to resume the title of Emperor of Germany; that his eldest son will be called King of Germany, and his brother, the Archduke Charles, be appointed Grand-Marshal of the Empire.

MONTHLY ATELY, at an advanced age, Mr. Waldron, an old and respectable member of the theatrical profession. He had long been suffering under a declining state of health. Few men were so well acquainted with the dramatic literature of this country, or possessed so many anecdotes respecting the theatrical history of his own times. He possessed, also, poetical talents, which, if he had not been occupied in the necessary duties of life, might have enabled him to rise to distinction. He had taste and judge ment, which he displayed in several original compositions, as well as in judicious altera tions of some old plays. He had prepared for the stage, an alteration of Massinger's "Fatal Dowry," which had received the Europ. Mag, Vol. LXXIII. Mar. 1918,

OBITUARY.

approbation of the learned editor, Mr. Gifford, and which was to have been brought forward. Rowe took his Fair Penitent from this play, but it is much below the original. In private life Mr. Waldron was one of the kindest men that ever existed. Nothing could gratify him more than an opportunity to render services of any description, but particularly of a literary nature; and he was indefatigable in his researches for that purpose. In the humble range of characters assigned to him on the stage, he always manifested a full knowledge of his author, and sustained the part with judgment, truth, and nature; and, on the whole, was a very amiable, worthy, and intelligent man.
