The fquadron confifted of the Conftance (flaghip), the Strenuous, Sharpshooter, Sheldrake, and one or two other light veffels (of which fee the Gazette account, p. 959).

An officer of greater gallantry and enterprize could not be chofen for this active fervice. He was in his 39th year, 25 of which were devoted to the fervice of his Country. His merit was his only recommendation; and, had his life been a little longer fpared, he would probably have ranked among the moft splendid warriors of the British Navy.

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE,

For NOVEMBER, 1806.

Mr. URBAN,

I

Nov. 10. AM agreeably interefted by the letters of your Northern Faunit, and particularly fo by his laft (page 923). I take leave to acquaint him, that, for twenty years paft, I have attentively watched the arrival and departure of Swallows. I have invariably remarked, that they depart in greater numbers than they arrive in; and that they appear firit when the wind is North-east, and fly towards the South-west, when they depart; feeming to come from a different part of the world to what they retire to, as if they took a circuit round the Globe, during the time of their being abfent from Britain. I faw them first this year on the 29th of April, and laft on the 11th of October, viz. in the Northern part of Hamphire. A New Southern Faunist (who, in a very able and correct manner, publifhes his obfervations in the St. James's Chronicle monthly) remarked, that every kind of hirundine was gone from the neighbourhood of Chrift-church by the 17th of October laft.

THE OLD SOUTHERN FAUNIST.

Farewell the neighing fteed, and the thrill trump, [fife, The fpirit-ftirring drum, the ear-piercing The royal banner," &c. "And O you mortal engines, whose, rude throats," &c.

Peele's lines, which were addreffed to Sir John Norris, Sir Francis Drake, and their followers, on their fetting out, in 1589, on the Portugal expedition, are as follows:

"Change love for armes; girt to your blades, my boyes; [and targe, Your refts and mufketts take; take helm And let god Mars his confort [concert] make you mirth,

The roaring cannon, and the brazen trumpe, The angry-founding drum, the whistling fife, [ney.'

The fhrieks of men, the princely courfers In this, as in various other inftances, our great dramatic poet converted whatever he touched into gold. The Shricks of men he judicioully omitted, as not fuiting the purport of Othello's fpeech.

Mr. URBAN,

THE

M. E.

Nov. 6. HE circumftance of that anonymous Satirift, the Author of "The Purfnits of Literature," having applied to Dr. Warton the cant term "Democrat," is fo truly ridiculous, that I should not have dreampt of no

ticing it, but for the ftrefs laid upon it by Mr. Wooll.

In fome remarks on Pope, Dr. Warton, unwilling to confine Virgil's praise of liberty to "one honelt line," inftances what he fays about the expulfion of Mezentius by the Etrurians: his ideas, occupied by the poets, orators, and hiftorians of antient Greece and Rome, were unlikely to have fuggefted any allufion to what was pafling in France; nor was it poffible for fo able tude between either the character or a critic to have difcovered any fimili the fate of an intrepid ferocious tyrant flain in battle, and, the execution of Louis XVIth. It feeins, however, as
