"Of Noble Race was Shenken;" a cele brated Welsh Air with Variations, for the harp or piano forte, compofed by Sig. Molini. Skillérn. To this ancient Welch air, which makes fo confpicuous a figure in the Beggar's Opera, Signor Molini has given fome very ingenious and attractive variations. They are feven in number, and fucceed each other with an improving effect, and increafing execution. The original melody, accompanied with the words, is given in the last page, and, from the prefent fcarcity of the old Cambrian ballads, adds to the value of the publication.

Difeafes.... Public Affairs.

The ftate of the atmosphere having undergone confiderable changes during this month, the number of pneumonic diseases have been rather increased. The prevalence of flight coughs and colds has been very general; though the number of those which have come under medical treatment has been lefs than is ufual at this time of the year.

Slight rheumatic affections have been numerous and there have been feveral inftances both of acute and chronic rheumatifm, accompanied with a confiderable aggravation of fymptoms. In one inftance of the acute fpecies, which was introduced by chillinefs terminating in a rigor, a high degree of redness and tumour appeared in different joints, accompanied with great pain and restleffness, a foul tongue, a full, hard, and frequent pulfe, with obftinate coftiveness, and a trong difpofition to profufe fweating, but without any abatement of the pain or restleffness.

The violent determination to the fkin in this disease, may generally be confidered rather as fymptomatic than critical, and is very different from that gentle perfpiration through the whole furface, which frequently accompanies a remiffion of symptoms.

In the prefent cafe, after having procured ftools, and reduced the inflammation, by the application of leeches to the parts affected, the pulfe alfo becoming flower, and the remiffion of pain and other fymptoms taking place under the ufe of antimonial remedies; we proceeded to a pretty free ufe of the Peruvian Bark, combined with the Tincture of Guaia

cum.

The rheumatifm, in all its species, being a disease very liable to recur, we find it neceffary to obviate the return of paroxyfm, by the early and free ufe of the bark. The hard, full, and frequent

141

pulfe, which most commonly occurs in
the acute fpecies of this disease, may
feem to indicate the free ufe of the lancet;
but we have had frequent occafion to ob-
ferve, that when this practice has been
adopted, though a fudden remiffion of
pain and inflammation has been pro-
duced, thefe fymptoms have returned, and
the disease has in general been protracted
to a later period than when the other
means have been employed.

STATE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS,
In February, 1798.

GREAT BRITAIN.

A length the minifter is driven, like

every perfon in diftrefs, to the derner refort to folicit voluntary contributions; this plan at first proceeded with languid fteps, owing, it was faid, to the tardiness of a great perfonage in taking the lead; after a fufpenfe of about ten days, his Majefty fignified his pleafure to fubfcribe the fum of 20,000l. and the donations flowed in more rapidly

Public Affairs....Great Britain.

their mistaken zeal, we heartily applaud the honesty of their intentions; but we are inclined to think, that a change of measures is the only mode by which this country can be faved.

As events are more or lefs important and interefting, according to the confe quences which flow from them as caufes, we deem it neceffary here to notice a meeting which was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, on the 24th of January, by the numerous friends of the Hon. CHARLES JAMES FOX, to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of that diftinguished patriot. This company confifted of near 2000 of the warmest advocates of peace and parliamentary reform. What was the more peculiarly gratifying to thefe friends of liberty was an union of fentiment, which took place at this time, refpecting the great work of reform, between the members of the Whig Club and those of a more modern but not lefs popular fociety, which has, fince its establishment, provided fo much labour, though frequently productive, for informers and crown lawyers.

[ocr errors]

The DUKE of NORFOLK was called to the chair upon this occafion; among feveral patriotic toafts, his grace gave "Our fovereign's health---the majefty of the people. His grace alfo recollected, with a fentiment of respect, the name of General Washington, praifed his perfeverance in the caufe of his country, and inftanced his example as a fit leffon to the virtuous few who are defirous of profecuting reform by conftitutional means.

Whether the popular fentiment of the "majefty of the people," the union of two numerous focieties inimical to the prefent minifter, or the fentiment of refpect for the venerable Washington, gave offence to the cabinet, or whether the three fubjects conjointly went to produce that effect, we cannot with precifion determine. But a few days afterwards the noble duke received his difmiffal from the lord lieutenancy of a county, and from the colonelfhip of a regiment of militia, difciplined, nurtured, and beloved by

h m.

Our limits do not admit of making even the mcit neceffary comments upon fuch steps of the present adminiftration; but we have to obferve, that this meafure was taken notice of at a meeting of the Whig Club held the 6th of February, at the fame place. Mr. Fox, on that occafion, combated the fuppofed charges against his grace with the most pointed arguments. The fovereignty of the people of Great Britain, (faid

Mr. Fox) is the basis of the fystem of our government. It is an opinion, which, if it be not true, King William was an ufurper: by what right did he come to the throne of thofe realms, if not by that of the fovereignty of the people. It is not in this age of the world that the horrid and blafphemous tenets of the vicegerency of God, and divine right, will be held up as the fource of royal authority." Mr. Fox alfo contended, that the conduct of minitters in this particu lar was encouraging to the enemy, by manifefting to them that fuch are the diftractions of the country, so inflamed and divided are its inhabitants, that arms cannot be trufted in the hands of the premier peer of the kingdom.

The British Houfe of Commons met, pursuant to adjournment, on the 8th of February. On the next day Mr. Pitt brought up a meffage from the king, ftating that his majefty, in consideration of the fervices rendered to him by Admiral, Lord Duncan, had granted to his lordship an annuity of 2000l. per annum, and wishing to extend the grant beyond his lordship's life to the two next perfons to whom the title of Viscount Duncan fhall defcend, recommended that the houfe would confider the proper method of enabling his Majesty to make the faid grant. In a few days afterwards, Mr. Pitt brought up another meffage from his Majefty refpecting the granting of an annuity to Admiral Earl Vincent, fomewhat fimilar to that of Lord Duncan. The refolutions were put and carried, and the Committee of Ways and Means poftponed till Friday.

On the 16th of February the House, in a committee of fupply, voted 1900l. for ordnance works, and 10,5871. for the use of the commiffioners of that department.

IRELAND,

Mr. PELHAM, in the House of Com-
mons, on the firft of February, expa-
tiated on the advantages which had re-
fulted to the fervice, and confequently to
the community, from the recent regula-
tions. He then proceeded to give the
following items of the public force, and
the fums of the feveral estimates for their
maintenance for the year, to end on the
30th of March, 1799.

defence of the country, effective
