A Recreation, compofed of a Scene or Introduction, by Louis Von Ejch, Efq. 5s.

This publication confifts of a Scene, an Aria, and a Rondo. The three move ments are, as they ought to be, written with a view to each other; and a feries of impreffions refult from the order in which they are given, which had been loft by a different arrangement. The air is tatiefully fancied, and the fubject of the rondo will not fail to be well received by those who feek for melody and originality of character.

"Orow thee in my Highland Plaid." A faurite Scottish Ballad, written by Mr. Robert Tannabill, and fet to Mufic by J. Ross, Efq. of Aberdeen.

IS.

We have perused this little ballad with great pleafure. The air is ftrikingly natural, and purely Scottish. The introductory and intermediate fymphonies are fweet and appropriate, and the bafs is chofen with that fcience and judgment for which we have long fince given Mr. Rofs our full credit.

A Grand March, performed at Vauxhall Gardens by the New Military Band, under the Direction of Mr. Mackintosh. Compofed and arranged for the Piano-forte, by T. Powell.

[ocr errors]

This piece is not without many recom→ mendatory traits. The introduction is a regular well-digefted movement, and is fucceeded by the march, with the fubject of which we are too much pleased not to with that it lefs directly reminded us of an idea of Haydu in his fymphony called the Surprife. The third movement is ingeniously conceived, and concludes the compotition with a fpirited and engaging effect.

A Broken Cake. Glee for Three Voices. The Poetry from Anacreon, by Thomas Moore, Efq. The Mufic by Sir John Stevenson, Muj. Doc.

1s. 6d.

The melody of this glee is elegant and tateful: it partakes of the ftyle of the poetry, and gives its fentiments with truth and force. We nevertheless regret that Sir John Stevenfon has not enriched his compofition with fome of thofe points and refponfes fo peculiarly relevant to vocal harmony, and fo fully expected from the man of fcience; and thould have been even better pleafed than we lave profelled ourfelves to be, had Sir John's attention to the propriety of

We are pleafed with the bold broad ftyle of this melody. It well accords with the fubject of the words, and will not fail to attract the lovers of that open cafe and manly fimplicity which ever characterized the true English fong. Aria et Rondo pour le Piano-forte. Compofées et dediées à mi Lady Sarab Spencer, par L. Von Ejcb. 35.

This is an ingenious compofition. The variety and pleafantnefs of the ideas will draw the favourable attention of every cultivated ear, and evince the fertile imagination of the author. The rondo is a Polacca, the theme of which is novel and fprightly, and happily relieved by the digretive matter.

Numbers Five and Six of RECREATION. Compofed by Mr. Latour. Each 1s. 6d. The prefent numbers of this pleafing and ufeful little publication, contain the favourite Welth tune, Ap Shenkin," and an Air in the Travellers, which Mr. Latour has worked into piano exercifes, .of a familiar and attractive style. The latter is augmented and embellished with fix variations, calculated to improve without fatiguing the young practitioner. The work is to confift of twelve numbers.

"Why does Azure deck the Sky?" a Ballad. The words by T. Moore, Ejq. The Mufic compofed and arranged, with an Accompaniment for the Piano-forte, by R. Humphrey, Dublin. 15.

The beauty, eafe, and fimplicity of this little fong, do much credit to Mr. Humphrey's tafte in ballad composition. The compofer has fo palpably caught the fpirit of his author, that the dulleft ear must be truck with the analogy of the words and mufic.

Rondo for the Harp or Piano-forte, by Jofeph Roefler. 25.

This rondo is of a fpirited and animating caft, and particularly inviting to the juvenile ear. The pallages are natt rally conceived, and arife to fairly out of each other, as to produce an agree able and connected whole.

Confumption, or the deceitful fem‐ blances of that disease, recur almost daily under the notice of the Reporter. Dyfpepfia, however, is too frequently mif taken for phthilis. The diftinction is not futticiently obferved, in practice, between general confumption and con1 fumption of the lungs, between impaired 9 energies and deranged Fructure, between 2 complaints merely of the ftomach and 2 of the pulmonary organs. An inadequate attention with regard to thefe, in 4 reality oppofite, but fometimes in appearance, allied fymptoms of difeate, conftitutes too often a fource of effential error in medical experience.

The number of infantile difeafes will, this last month, appear to have much exceeded the ufual proportion in the catalogue.

The abrupt and violent viciffitudes, and other unfavourable circumftances, in the atmosphere, operate with more particular injury upon the tenderness of childhood, as well as upon the infirmity

of age.

The vigorous manhood of life, inftead of fuffering, is often corroborated and confirmed by thofe fhocks and alternations, which are apt to extinguish the imperfect vitality of the one ftage, and the nearly exhaufted excitability of the other. In no department of medicine does the practice of it appear fo cruelly abfurd, as in the mifmanagement of infants. Of the cafes of mortality in the earlier months of our existence, the greater number undoubtedly coulitt of thofe who have funk under the oppreffion of pharmaceutical filth. More infant fabjects in this metropolis are diurnalty destroyed by the mortar and pestle, thau in the ancient Bethlehen fell victims in one day to the Herodian maffacre.

To a popular eye the facrifice is not fo vilible, but the fact is equally certain and unequivocal to the intellect of a fcientific practitioner.

Air duly oxygenated, unrefirained exereife of the limbs and lungs, natural and nourishing food, and, above every thing clfe, a daily and univerfal ablution of the body, are perhaps all the-reшie

On both tides les miftake. Some cling to fyftem in defpite of fact and obfervation, ridicule the folicitude we are anxious to enforce, and decry the neceffity of afcertaining at all the ftate of the lungs in cafes of cough and enunciation; while others, perhaps ftill more faulty and indiferiminating, conceive not the pollibility of cough without the presence of pulmonary diforder.

Truth, as in moft other inftances, here refis between the two extremities of violent opinion.

The Reporter ftill continues to fee cafes, where moral influences are not fufficiently attended to in connection with phyfical diforders. There is too much of materialifin in medical philofophy. Chemiliry has not fo much to do, as is generally imagined, with the composition and conduct of the human frame. Phyfical feience, in accounting for the phenomena both of health and difeafe, has recently been stretched to a degree of unprecedented extravagance. By fome fpeculatifts, the body of man has been converted into a chemical re

tort; by others it has been transformed into a galvanic apparatus. The cele

The Reporter was, a few days ago, called to a patient whofe cafe was confidered as an inflammation of the inteftines. The fymptoms appear in fact to have originated from what in nofology is denominated Icterus calculofus. The exquitite degree of pain which is occationed by the difficult and obstructed pattage of a gall-tone through the biliary duct to the inteftine, is often equally, or perhaps more, violent than that produced by vifceral infiammation. From the former, however, it may be difcriminated by the abfence of that general disturbance in the pulfe and faculties of lite, which invariably characterize the latter.*

A fudden and unprepared explosion does not deferve terror; it is the flow, filent, and fubterranean train of inflummatory ingredients, that is calculated moft effectually to undermine the mental, as well as phylical, conflitution.

The progrefs and ettablishment of intellectual hallucination, is traced with fidelity and feeling in the following delineation of Dr. Johnfon: “Some particular train of ideas fixes upon the mind, all other intellectual gratifications are rejected; the mind, in wearinefs or feifure, recurs conftantly to the favourite conception, and feats on the lufcious faltehood whenever it is offended with the bitterness of truth. By degrees, the reign of fancy is confirmed: the grows firit imperious, and in time defpotic. Thefe fictions begin to operate as reali ties, falle opinions fatten upon the mind, and life palles in dreams of rapture or of anguith."

has been fent from the Foreign Office to various perfons of diftinétion:

"Intelligence, of the truth of which there is out the least doubt, has been received, that an action was fought between the Ruffians and French, on the 27th of December laft, which continued three fucceffive days, and on the laft of which the French retreated, with the loss of 40,000 flain, and 80 pieces of cannon. The fcene of action was at Oftralenka, 60 or 70 miles from Warsaw The enenty made their retreat to within eight miles of that place, and were alfo entrenching themselves at Marienburgh."

We hope to be able to confirm this important event in our next. Forty-feventh Bulletin of the French Army. Pultusk, Dec. 25.

The affair of Czarnowo, that of Nafiel and Kurfomb, that of the cavalry and Lapoczyn, have been followed by that of Puituk, and by the complete and precipitate retreat of the Rullian army, which has fiuished the prefent year's campaign.

Marshall Laines first arrived on the morning of the 26th, directly oppofite to Pultuik, where, during the night, the whole of general Banningfen's corps had affembled. The Ruffian divifion, which had been defeated at Nafielik, had arrived about two in the morning at the camp at Paltofk, with the third divifion of Marikal Davouft's corps in clofe pursuit of them. At ten o'clock, Marshal Lafoes began the attack, having his firit line compofed of the divifion of Suchet, the second of Gazan's, and that of Ocdin, of the third light corps under the command of General Dauttane, on his left wing. The engagement was obftinate; after various occurrences. the enemy was completely routed. The 17th Regiment a light infantry, and the 34th, covered themselves with glory. Generals Veand Claperede were wounded. General Treilhard, commandant of the light cavalry; General Bouflard, commandant of a brigade of dragoons under General Becker, and alfo Clonel Barthelemy, of the 15th dragoous, were wounded with grape-shot. Voifin, aide de camp to Marthal Laines; and M Curial, - camp to General Suchet, were killed, and both have fallen with glory. Marthal, Laines was likewife grazed by a ballThe fith corps of the army gave a proof of every thing that could be expected from the fope riarity of the French infantry over that of @ther nations.

Oftrolenka.

While General Benningfen's corps was beaten at Pultufk, that of General Buxhowden affembled at Golymin about noon. The divifion of Panin, belonging to this corps, which had been attacked the evening before by the Grand Duke of Berg, and another divifion already beaten at Nafielfk, arrived by different foutes at the camp of Golymin. Marthal Davouft, who purfued the enemy from Nafielfk, came up with them, charged them, and took poffeffion of a wood near the camp of Golymin. At the fame time, General Augereau arriving from Golazyma, took the enemy in flank. The general of brigade Lapiffe, with the 16th light infantry, carried with the bayonet a village which ferved for a point of fupport to the enemy. The divifion of Hendelet formed in line, and advanced against the enemy, at three o'clock in the afternoon: the fire was extremely hot. The Grand Duke of Berg made several successful charges, in which Klein's divifion of dragoons diftinguished themfelves. Night coming on tos foon, the battle continued till eleven o'clock, when the enemy retreated in diforder, leaving behind his artillery, his baggage, almost all his knapfacks, and a numi er or dead. All the enemy's columns retreated towards Oftrolenka. General Feneroilles, commandant of a brigade of dragoons, was killed by a mufket shot. The intrepid General Kapp, the emperor's aide-de-camp, was wounded by a musket fhot at the head of his divifion of dragoons. Colonel Semele, of the brave 24th regiment of the line, was wounded. Marshal Augereau had a horfe fhot under him.

In the mean time, Marthal Soult with his corps had arrived at Mafati. two miles nom Matzon: but the horrible floughs, the confe quences of rain and thaw, arreted his march, and faved the Rudian army, of which not a man woul have otherwite elcaped.. The deftinies of the army of Gen. penningfen and that of Buxhowden, fe-med as if they would have been completed on this fide the little river drege, but every plan was thwarted by the effect of the thaw, and that to fuch a degree, that the artillery, could not move more than three leagues in two days. The Ruffian army loft 80 pieces of cannon, all its ammuni❤ tion waggons, more than 1200 baggage carts, and 12,000-men in killed, wounded, and prifoners.
