Independent of portraits on canvas and 
portraits on ccpper, there has lately arifen 
another fpecies of portraits, on which a 
Retrofpect of the Arts fhould not be wholly 
filent. They are fhewn in a room totally 
dark, but illuminate themfelves, are feen 
floating in the air, varying their appear- 
ance, diminifhing in their -fize as they re- 
cede from the eye, and at length wanihine 
into air—into thin air. We allude to the 
Exhibition which M. De Phillipftal every 
evening difplays at the Lyceum,. in the 
Strand, and which he denominates z2 
Phantafmogoria. This very fingular /pec- 
trology has been already exhibited in Dref- 
den, Paris, and other principal citics of 
Europe; and the proprietor profeffes it to 
be one of his objeéts to unmafk artful im- 
poftors, and open the eyes of fuch perfons: 
as ftill retain a belief in ghofts, enchant- 
ments, conjurations, &c. The different 
figures are, in part, made up of portraits 
ef diftinguifhed chara&ters; among them 
Lift of Difeafes.

are Queen Elizabeth, Mary Queen of 
Scots, Cromwell, Voltaire, Louis XVI. 
Admiral Nelfon, and a variety of other 
. diftinguifhed perfonages. Thele freely ori~ 
ginate in the air, and unfold themfelves un- 
der various forms and fizes. Some from 
a ftar-like point of fire; others from an 
afcending cloud or’ vapour; and, what is 
extremely fingular, change their figures and 
affume other forms while floating before 
the eye. : 
The friends of the late Mr. Wakefield 
will be happy to learn that a very ftriking 
and chara¢teriftic portrait of him was 
painted by Mr. Artaud, of Great Mar!- 
borough-fireet, a very fhort time previous 
to his death. The portrait is now in the ‘ 
hands’ of Mrs. Macklin, at the Poets’ 
Gallery, Fleet-ftreet, who has engaged an 
artift of great ref{pectability to make an en- 
graving from it, which will be finifhed 
foon after Chriftmas. Thole who may 
wifh to have early impreffions, will da 
well to fend their names to Mrs. Macklin, | 
who promifes to deliver the impreffions in 
the order in which they may be fubicribed 
for.

The fever, which has long prevailed, 
and the influence of which has been fo ex- 
tenfively diffufed, fill continues. The 
{ymptoms attending it are very fimilar to 
thofe which have lately been deicribed. 
Thofe violent affe&tions of the brain, 
which have formed fo important a charac-. 
teriftic of the difeafe for a confiderable time, 
are fefs frequent; and, at prefent, 
difeafes of the ftomach and bowels feem 
to be more common attendants vpon this 
fever. This occurs under various forms 
and in different degrees. A’ moderate 
diarrhoea, occurring at an early fage of 
the difeafe, has generally proved falutary, 
and has frequenily afforded a pretty juft
