IRELAND 



Considerable agitation continues in con- 

 sequence of one .Steele, County Sheriff of 

 Dublin, at a county meeting at Kilmainham, 

 on Deo. 30, having refused to put amendments 

 upon some resolutions complimenting minis- 

 ters, and having caused the meeting to be 

 dispersed by a military force. His conduct 

 has been exposed in Parliament, disavowed 

 by ministers, and we trust will be brought 

 before the Irish Courts of Law, for the good 

 example of others.

ABROAD. 



An late extraordinary overflowins: of the 

 river Douro, has occasioned great damage 

 at Oporto. All the vessels at anchor in 

 the river were in the most imminent danger 

 of perishing, and some of them met 

 with this misfortune: all the others suf- 

 fered, some more, some less. A great 

 many boats and small vessels, both public 

 and private, are lost: the damage sustained 



[March 1, 



by the vessels which have escaped - in 

 their hulls, masts, cordage, and rigging of 

 every description, is beyond calculation. 

 Immense damage, which it is impossible to 

 estimate, has been done on shore. The 

 water rose to a very great height, and 

 boats plied in some parts of llie city. 



At his lural retreat in the environs of Paris, 

 aged 54, Jean Lamhert Talliert, one of the 

 most distinguished heroes of the French revo- 

 Intion, and who after enjoying a plenitude of 

 power proved his public virtue by the per- 

 sonal poverty, in which, like Amar and others, 

 lip ended his days. His life is the history of 

 the French Revolution. He began his poli- 

 tical career as a writer in the Monitcur in 

 1791, was elected secretary of the Commune 

 of Paris, and held that office during the 

 massacres provoked by the atrocious procla- 

 mation of the Duke of Brunswick ; but per- 

 sonally opposed them, and himself saved 

 many lives. He was afterwards elected a 

 member of the Convention, and became 

 a zealous and eloquent member of the Mown- 

 tain parly, voted for tlie death of the King, 

 and went as a revolutionary deputy into the 

 departments in the south-west, where he 

 married the famous Mudnme Cnharris of 

 Bourdeaux. He afterwards bad the courage 

 to denounce Robespiere and his adherents,- 

 and effecied the great revolution of the 9th • 

 Thermidor. Under the directory be nccom-' 

 jianied Bonaparte to RgJ'pt, but was ctip- 

 tureu on his return, and brought to England, ' 

 where for some weeks he was an object of 

 great attention in London, and visited at the 

 houses of Messrs. Fox, Grey, <fec. <fec. by 

 whom he was much esteemed. Under Na- 

 poleon he held a commercial employment in 

 Spain, but on the return of the Bourbons, 

 was proscribed as one of those who bod 

 obeyed the voice of his country in voting for 

 fhe death of Louis the 16th. His ill health 

 excused him from the severity of this de- 

 cree, and he lived in philosophical retire- 

 ment in a cottage, in a small garden near the 

 Champs Elysees 



TO THE READERS, &c. 



Tfie outline of Mr. Hay doll's design is the commencement of a series of similar, 

 sketches of modern pictures., which, by the favour of artists, we hope to be a/tle to 

 lay before our readers. JFe have also procured a sketch of Dr. Cartwrighfs 

 Pedo-motine machine, which we trust, will be generally adopted, extended, and 

 improved. The head of Mtmtion has been repeatedfor the sake of uniting it to 

 the description. 



Rich in variety and interest as have been our late Numbers, we trust this A«»i- 

 berxcdlnot be thought inferior to any of them,- Our comtnttnications in every 

 department of literature ejeceed all former examples; but %ve continue, as here- 

 tofore, to prefer the useful to the speculative. 



We shall be glad to receive notices of the formation of new Book- Societies, 

 and to give place to every variety of suggestion tending to their perfection. ' 



Persons who desire to have this Magazine sent by post to any distant part of
