ushered into the world by no patronage , and written by a man til ! then known to a small circle only of friends , ever experienced so rapid a diffusion , or acquired to the author so sudden and extended reputation . His acquaintance was sought by
almost all persons in this country , distinguished by rank aud talents , and their , expectations of pleasure and profit from liis society were more than equalled by the amenity of liis manners . Dignified without pride , cheerful without levity , in his intercourse with the world he never for a
moment lost sight of bis sacred character , or its duties , which he fulfilled without ostentatious display , or affected
concealment . Although his Tour in Italy exhibits not only his extensive acquaintance with classical and polite literature , but his cultivated and refined taste , yet the spirit of Christian morality and Christian
benevolence , winch breathes in every page , is periiaps its most striking- feature ; and the same gentleness and candour are conspicuous in liis controversial writing's . His Letter to the Bishop of Lincoln is , perhaps , unequalled for argument exempt from pedantry , and for freedom of discussion un ~ tinctured by acrimony .
Those who had the happiness to share Ik is friendship , saw and felt in every instant *> f their intercourse with him , that his reli-

gion was not less that of the heart than tK * head ; and that the faith of his si ncere conviction was the spring- and first mover of his whole conduct . His acquirements as a polite scholar , and the elegance of bis style , are well known to the numerous readers of his published
works . His friends alone know that his poetical talents were of a high order He had made considerable progress m a Didactic Poem on the Culture of the youthful Mind ; which diffidence alone had prevented him from finishing , but winch in the opinion of those who had seen it , and who were well qualified to judge of its
merits , would have added much to his already high reputation . Amidst his other pursuits he bad deeply studied the English Constitution , and none could more warmly admire , or more strongly feel its excel * lence . His political sentiments were those of tlie men designated by the title of Old Whigs ; equally abhorrent of the
debasement of arbitrary sway , and the wild uncurbed wandering's of democratic fanaticism . His loss will be long * lamented , his memory long cherished with affectionate respect , by all who knew him . They will not forget the lessons his life not less than his conversation taught them ^ and this sliolit memorial will not be the last tribute
paid to his talents and his virtues . —Morn Chron * Sept . 13 .

siderable loss on the part of the "besiegers . As far as we can collect , tlie general aspect presented by the whole of New Spain , is exactly the same as that of Old Spain in the late war ; the Royalists possess only the capitals of provinces , in which they are obliged to keep many troops to maintain internal order , and keep their communications open as well as
they can . They can hardly venture into the ' field , and even in this situation their advanced posts are frequently attacked , as was lately the case with the outworks tlie Viceroy ' had established two miles from Mexico . The Insurgents are comp letely
organized into strong guerillas and partieft , arid nothing Royalist can traverse tlie roads without covering troops . Whilst the Viceroy and the Inquisition are celebrating ; with Bull Feasts and Te ri
