E are infinitely obliged to Henrietta R-- for refuming her pen, and tranfmitting us so much of the continuation of La Vie d'Epaminondas, Ourfelves and patroneffes must be eager to teftify our gratitude to the author of the Hiftory of Captain Herbert and Mils Nugent, &c. for her correfpondence, notwithstanding an amiable connection might plead for her total filence. To give her all the respite in our power, we have poftponed Letter XIII. for the ensuing month, and hope this friendly delay will meet with approbation.

The variety of pieces continually receiving from J. L-g, put us at a lofs how to make our acknowledgments: but whatever he would with us to fay, we say that and more alfo. We muft beg his excufe for not inferting in this month, for want of room, his continuation of the Natural Hiftory of the Night ingal, the Treacherous Hufband, and Reflections on the Prefent State of Great Bri

tain.

If we were at a lofs to make Henrietta R-- a proper return for her condefcenfion to the importunities of our patroneffes, we are not lefs perplexed for expreffions to enable us to rouse the author of La Vie d' Emilie from her fullen filence, which feems to hurt a great number of our oldeft friends.

Marianne C*****, will firft receive our thanks for her favour, and will find it properly attended to in our next.

The feries of Letters from Mfs Reynolds to Mifs Seymour we can form no judgment of from the fpecimen already received: we cannot fufficiently praise the fincerity which the writer has fhown, and we doubt not of her punctuality after the pledge which fhe has honoured us with.

In anfwer to G. H. we must inform him that the continuation of the Jealous Lover is neceffarily postponed on account of the author's tranfmitting his copy rather too late.

The pacquet of Letters from Mifs Clifford, &c. are under confideration, and as they feem to want fome little polifhing, fhall be continued as foon as they are rendered worthy of the writer, and fit for the perufal of the fex.

We are in great doubt of the originality of the Hiftory of Mils Bella Wild; but were that fcruple removed, we must have fome fecurity for the regular continuation of the feries till it finishes.

Mifs Catherine, &c. defires a pattern for weaving lace: if he turns back to fome former numbers fhe will find one.

Henrietta C***** deferves the acknowledgments of our correfpondents for her ready compliance with the request of an Enigmatical Defeription of the Drifs of a great Perfonag.

Amidft other pieces in profe already mentioned, we thank the authors for an Extract from Puchan's Domeftic Medicine, in answer to a correfpondent's requeft in the Magazine for June. A Soliloquy on Deceit, by 4. B, Y. Z. Engmatical Lift of the Rules in Arithmetic, by R-1 W-g-1. Of Archbishopricks in Spain, by Philo Puzzle. Chriflian Names of all the young Princes and Princeffesa Lift of Flowers, by C. Gorland. Of young Gentlemen at Shadwell, by Cleara. Of Boks, by Philtus. Of Heroines, by Philo Puzzle. Part of the Fleet under the Command of Sir Charles Hardy. Enigmatical Lift of Female Writers, by Harmonia. Fruit enigmvically expreffed, by Candace. Queries Hiftorical and Getgraphical, by H- B-te.

But to continue my fad narrative:

Marina had been long engaged to Honorius, a youth whofe difpofition and character were every where fimilar to her own; the relations on both fides anticipated the most happy confequences from fo promifing a union.

But love, who kindly joined their hearts to blefs them, made them a bleffing too, to all befides; but alas! this fhort lived felicity was foon, too on broken!

Honorius was called abroad; his fituation in life admitted of no delay it was abfolute, it was fudden, it was unexpected. The morn, but not as ufual, came, that forced Honorious from his beloved Marina. Twice the

Honorius, by the united endeavours of his relations, (whofe unfufpecting nature had alfo been impofed on) was in a manner compelled to believe the virtues of Marina merely affumed, her affection towards him a pretence, and that vanity and.coquettery were her real characteristics. Marina, whofe foul was fuperior to the mean arts and tittle-tattle of her own fex, rejected with fcorn the obloquy thrown on her Honorius.

Quite petrified by this laconic, keen, and unjult reproach, he had near fal len a victim to the condict it raifed; her exquisite feelings were every way alarmed, and had overpowered her, but for that reafon, which fhon fuperior, and brightened every action of her life.
