ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

ΤΟ CORRESPONDENTS.

D.'s Journal, though dated in February laft, did not reach our hands until late in the prefent month; we beg to receive the remainder of it.

A Reader of the Magazine-Paftor-Giles Overreach-R. S.-A. W.-Vulpes-Demetrius➡ Iluthuria's Congreffiad-and Lines to a Lady's Cat, are received.

W. Upton's Prologue, intended for Mrs. Henderson's Night, is too unfinished for Publica

tion.

G. M.'s Narrative being without date, place, or names of the parties, is too vague for infertion.

Our Correfpondents for the future are requested to direct their Favours to Mr. JOHN SEWELL, in Cornhill, only.
