DEATHS ABROAD, 
P. A. Guys, Member of the National In- 
Ritute of Paris, and author of a Literary 
Voyage into Grece, &c. lately died at Zante, 
one of the iflands in. the Ionian fea, in the 
7gth year of his age. It is not furprifing 
that he with fo much warmth declared him- 
felf the advocate for the modern Greeks. 
He had mere reafon than any other to em- 
brace their caufe. The fimplicity and purity 
of his antique manners, gave him a confide- 
rable reiemSlance to the ancient Greelzs 5 and 
the modernAthenians, feeing himamong them, 
thought they faw one of thofe celebrated phi- 
lofophers who had given luftre to their coun- 
“try. .To teftify to Citizen Guys their gra- 
titude for his having fo well deténded them 
from their detraétors, they unanimouily offered 
him the diploma of citizen ofAthens; reviving 
in his favor, an ancient ceremony fallen into 
difluetude for a great many centuries. What 
thoughts are not raifed in the mind at the 
Deaths abroad. 
[May r, 
words citizen oF Athens; which at this day 
can be but a vaintitle. Some years before 
C- Guys received a fimilar compliment froma 
a northen power. This true philofepher 
without ceafing to ferve his country, knew 
how to extend his beneficient views beyond 
the limits of his country. The Voyage Littes 
raire dela Greece is the chief work of C. Guys, 
and the one which has eftablifhed his reputa- 
tion. He however publifhed a Relation Abri- 
gee de fe - Voyages en Italie et dans le Nord; and 
a tranflation in verfe of the elegies of Tibul- 
ue with an efflay upon the antiquities of 
Miarfeilles his native place. For above twelve 
years he had been occupied in drawing up on 
thé fpot, the Continuation of his Travels over 
Greece. This work, which his fons will 
_ make a duty to publifh, is the fineft flower 
with which they can ornament the tomb of 
their father ; it will be the tafk of friendthip 
to join a branch of Cyprus te it. 
We mentioned ina late number that the 
arts had juft experienced a great lofs in the 
death of Grefnick, the compofer, who is faid 
to have funk under vexation and exceffive 
fatigue. He was the pupil of the celebrated 
counterpointif&t Su/a of the confervatory at 
Naples. He compofed feyeral operas in Italy 
and in England, where he {pent many years — 
of his life. He was for a great part of this 
time direftor of the Prince of -Wales’s con 
certs. During his refidence at Lyons, he 
wrote the mufic toa yrand opera in 3 aéts, 
cathed L’ Amour Exile de Cytbere 2, ando of Pyerey 
as alfo of feveral poems in the nature of 
paftorals. During the lait five years of his 
fixing himfelf at Paris, he made his talent 
further known by feveral other works, als 
of which were favourably received by thl 
public. He excelled in the graceful and dee 
{criptive mufic. His melody was always a- 
greeable and fometimes enchanting ; his har- 
mony fimple and fundamental. He was con- 
vinced that harmony is only the acceffory of 
mufic, and he thought with Sacchini, that 
perfpicwity and fimplicity ftamp the character 
of the true compofer. He therefore fell into 
no errors by his harmonic refearches He 
did not ever after employ horns, timbals, and 
other noify inftruments, which perfuade the’ 
ignorant to believe that fuch mufic has great 
energy, but which tear to pieces the moft 
fenfible and delicate ears. Fle was defirous 
that the accompaniments fhould never ftifle 
the voice, and he took efpecial care not to 
force their diapafon. The laft work which 
he compofed was defsgnea forthe great opera- 
houfe. The words are by a lady Known by 
more than one title in the literary world.
