bers of the fir connoiffeurs in Europe, 
have repeatedly feen and very highly ap. 
proved his collection. 
The plan which the Count fuggefts for 
thedifpofal of thefe pictures is, that ten 
thoufand perfons fhould fubfcribe the fum 
of fix guineas each; two guineas to be 
immediately paid intothe hands of Mefirs. 
Coutts and-Co. or to any other banker 
who will remit it to them ; and -when 
twenty thoufand guineas is thus raifed, 
the banker is to confign it to the Britifh 
Plenipotentiary at Vienna, and the pic- 
tures are to be configned to London under 
the care of fuch trufty agent as he chufés . 
to appoint. When arrived in London, 
they are to be depofited in fuch place as a 
committee of the fubfcribers may think 
proper, and each fub{criber is to pay into 
the hands of the above bankers the remain- 
ing four guineas for the Count’s ufe. 
The reafon of requefting the firft pay- 
ment of two guineas, the Count frankly 
{tates to be, that he may be enabled to 
anfwer fome engagements in Vienna, and 
defray the expences that will be incurred 
by the removal of the piétures to Lon- 
don. 
If it fhould be afked, what particular 
advantages will accrue tothe fub{cribers, 
it will be fufficient to obferve, that they

will not only have the honour of being the 
firft authors and creators of a ufeful and 
{plendid public gallery, but, as the reat 
property and abfolute difpofal of the pic- 
tures will be veited in their hands, it is 
prefumed that the colleétion will form fuch- 
an exhibition, that the produce of the ad-' 
miffions would be much greater than the 
expence of the eftablifhment ; and fhould 
it at any future period be thought expedient 
to difpofe of them, it is alfo prefumed that 
$0 capital a colleétion would, when once 
teen in this metropolis, attract fich notice 
that they might become a national objeét, 
and thus, or by any other proper mode of 
fale, produce much more than the price at 
which they are now offered. 
Mr. Girtin’s EIDOMETROPOLIS, of 
great circular picture of London, Weft- 
minfter, and environs, is now exhibiting 
at the Great Room, Spring-gardens. It is 
upon a fcale of two feet longer than Mr. 
Porter’s Storming of Seringapatam, and 
contains 1944 fquare feet of canvafs, com- 
manding a moft beautiful view of the 
Thames, Somerfet-houfe, Temple-gardens, 
St. Paul’s, and all the churches, bridges, 
principal buildings, &c. with the fur- 
rounding country to the remoteft dif 
tance.

Rheumatifmus « - w db 
of the Phyficians of the Finfbury Difpenfary. 
A cafe of infanity, which occurred dure 
ing the laft month, is deferving of parti- 
cular notice. The patient, for feveral , 
years previoufly to his firft attendance at 
the Difpenfary, had been afflicted with a 
ftricture of the urethra, which, at various 
times, had occafioned fits of dyfuria fo 
violent as to threaten almoft inftantaneous 
death ; he was, of courfe, front the parti- 
cular nature of his complaint, placed un- 
der the care of the furgeon ; in confequence 
of whofe attention and fkilful treatment, a 
compleat cure of his local difeafe was ef- 
fe&ted ina very fhort time. It is remark- 
able, however, that at the latter ftage of 
his complaint, when it was evidently ap- 
proaching a favourable termination, the 
patient began to appear more than ordina- 
rily penfive; the rapidity with which the 
fymptoms yielded to the remedies applied, 
feemed only to increafe his doubt and anx- 
lety concerning the event ; he was conti- 
nually exprefling an idea that he fhould
