"At the close of a contest so extensive and momentous as that in which we have been so long engaged in Europe, and which has exalted the character and military renown of the British nation, beyond all former example, the Prince Regent cannot but feel, that, under Providence, he is indebted for the success which has altended his exertions, to the wisdom and

"It will be the Prince Regent's constant endeavour to maintain by the justice and moderation of his conduct, the high character which this country has acquired amongst the nations of the world: and his Royal Highness has directed us to express his sincere and earnest hope, that the same union amongst ourselves, which has enabled us to surmount so many dangers, and has brought this eventful struggle to so auspicious an issue, may now animate us in peace, and induce us cordially to cooperate in all those measures, which may best manifest our gratitude for the Divine Protection, and most effectually promote the prosperity and happiness of our country."

The general sentiments of this speech seem to have met with approbation in both houses of Parliament.

It could not be supposed by any person acquainted with national affairs, that so great a change as from a state of war to a state of peace, could take place, without affecting the concerus of many individuals. We remember when the war broke out, the general distress which overspread the country, and was attributed to the war: now peace is restored, others of a like kind, are felt, and these are attributed to the peace. These changes verify the old Proverb, "One man's meat is another man's poison."

Does it therefore, follow, that the nation is always to maintain that feverish condition, a state of war? Are we to be at enmity with foreign powers, in order to gratify a part of our population? The idea is horrid-it cannot be endured, for a moment: But, why then, complain of Peace, as Peace? and why charge that happy state, with all the evils felt or feared?

After such immense exertions as circumstances demanded from the nation, last year, it may easily be supposed, that the Public Finances would be a subject of great anxiety: we insert, therefore, tables of them, as submitted to the House of Commons.

Some years ago he established a free school on Dr. Bell's system, and has since employed a teacher to superintend it. He also annually distributed provisions, money, and firing, to the poor widows in Downham and two or three neighbouring villages. Having formerly, at different times, observed that various charitable donations to the poor in his immediate neighbourhood were misapplied, 1', at a very great expense, collected an account of every charitable bequest in his native county, which he published in an octavo volume, and by which means many legacies that had been improperly applied, or entirely neglected, have been recovered, and distributed agreeably to the wills of the owners.

Mr. Eustace, it is well known, was a mem ber of the Romish church; but such a member, as commanded the respect, and even the affection, of persons of the most discordant religious sentiments.

At this period the tent in which Lady Harriet slept took fire, and it was with great dithcuity her valuable life was preserved; yet her undaunted mind never for an instant forsook her. Immediately after this accident, the Major was ordered to march and give battle to the enemy, and Lady Harriet was confided to the care of the baggage guard. A dreadful fire of musquetry soon announced that the action had commenced; she remained for several days in the most anxious state of suspense, with her companions in affliction, the wives of Major Horn-subject unconnected with the-feelings or age and Lieutenant Beynett. Major Hornage was soon after brought in mortally wounded, and to this soon: succeeded the intelligence that Lieutenant Beynett was no more. Lady Harriet now dreaded to inquire, whether she bore the melancholy title of a widow, or had still the happiness to be a wife. At length she was overwhelmed with affliction, on being informed that the British troops had been defeated, and that her husband, covered with wounds, had been made a prisoner. In a few hours she recovered her fortitude, and addressed a letter to the English Gen. Burgoyne, imploring his permission to pass over to the enemy's camp. With this request the General complied, and he wrote a few lines to the American Gen. Gates to permit her to attend the object of her care. She imme. diately went on board an open boat, with out any covering to protect her from the dews of the night, and proceeded up the river to the enemy's camp.

Nov. 1, 1815.-J. COAKLEY LETTSOM, M. D. He was born in a small island in the Atlantic, near Tortola, called Little Van Dyke, in December, 1744. His ancestors on the father's side originated from Lettsom, a small village in Cheshire: on the mother's side they were lineally descended from Sir Cæsar Coakley, an Irish Baronet, whose family uniformly possessed a seat in the Parliament of Ireland; the last of whom was Sir Vasey Coakley, Different branches of these families, during the government of Ireton, in Ireland, went to Barbadoes in favour of the Commonwealth, and settled afterwards in different islands among that large cluster called the Leeward and Windward Islands. When only about six years of age, he was sent to England for his education. Young Lettsom was sent to school to Mr. Thompson, in the vicinity of Warrington,

He attended to the minutest stroyed, with a great part of his property, concerns of his business, at the same time books, and papers, which he valued at that he was purchasing estates with its 10,0001. profits, and writing books for his amusement. Mr. Hutton had retired from business twenty-two years; but, after he had ceased to receive any emolument from it, he attended it with the same regularity as he had done for himself; first for his son, and afterwards for his grand-nephew, to whom it was successively given, and he always walked to and from his residence. One day, when he wanted but five days of completing his ninetieth year, his strength failed before he reached his bouse: he was carried home in a chair, but nothing could prevail upou him to give up his exercise. This diurnal motion continued till within three days of his death, when he could not finish his last walk. He was then confined to his bed and a sofa; and all that remained was to die. He was so happily constituted, that ninety-two years had scarcely the power to make a wrinkle in his face. He has left behind him the History of his own Life, which he intended for publication. He was born Sept. 50, 1723, in Full-where Mr. Fothergill lived, who was brostreet, Derby.

He soon after purchased the refuse of a Dissenting Minister's library; and from that period his affairs began to wear a pleasant | and promising aspect. At the end of the year, he had saved £20: and being persuaded to take a house of £8 a year, he carried on business on a larger scale. Mr. Hutton soon after opened a paper-warehouse, the first ever seen in Birmingham;

of which, in early life, had attracted his attention, and which he resolved to become master of, if his circumstances should become sufficiently prosperous. In this charming retreat, Dr. Lettsom had formed a Museum of Natural History, consisting of many rare and valuable specimens, as well as a botanic garden, enriched with the choicest plants, brought at a great expencé from the four quarters of the globe, and arranged according to the Linnan system!
