led to a series of triumphs; and, when the commander-in-chief, Prince Kutusoff Smolensko, led his victorious troops beyond the Niemen, the same principles still continued to animate the sovereign. At no period has Russia been accustomed to practise that art, too much resorted to in modern wars, of exaggerating, by false statements, the success of her arms. But, with whatever modesty her details might now be penned, they would appear incredible. Ocular witnesses are necessary to prove the facts to France, to Germany, and to Italy, before the slow progress of truth will fill those countries with mourning and consternation. Indeed it is difficult to conceive that in a campaign of only four morths' duration, one hundred and thirty thousand prisoners should have been taken from the enemy, besides nine hundred pieces of cannon, forty-nine stand of colours, and all the wag gon-train and baggage of the army. A list of the names of all the generals taken is hereunto annexed. It will be easy to form an estimate from that list of the number of superior and subaltern officers taken. It is sufficient to say, that out of three hundred thousand men, (exclusive of Austrians,) who penetrated into the heart of Russia, not thirty thou sand of them, even if they should be favored by fortune, will ever revisit their country. The manner in which the Emperor Napoleon repassed the Russian frontiers can assuredly be no longer a secret to Europe. So much glory, and so many advantages, cannot, however, change the personal dispositions of his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, The grand principles of the independence of Europe have always formed the basis of his policy, for that policy is fixed to his heart. It is beneath his character to permit any endeavours to be made to induce the people to resist the oppression and to throw off the yoke which has weighed them down for twenty years. It is their Government whose eyes ought to be opened by the actual situation of France. Ages may elapse before an opportunity equally favourable again presents itself, and it would be an abuse of the goodness of Providence not to take advantage of this crisis to re-construct the great work of the equilibrium of

Europe, and thereby to insure public tranquillity and individual happiness."

Those who make the War an affair of mere calculation, will, perhaps, be moved to think of Peace by the actual state of revenue. In the winter's quarter for 1812, the consolidated fund produced 9,658,000/. with extras 11,358,000l.; and, in 1813, but 8,755,675/. with extras 10,338.3401: being a deficiency of above a million; while there has been an increase on the charge of 900,000l. so that the charge exceeded the produce by 1,382,0001., and, on this fund, the annual deficit will

be above five millions!

red on the Continent, and well deserved the sedulous attention Mr. C. has em. ployed upon them, in order to render their merits familiar to the ear of the British public. The original score is multifarious and comprehensive: we here find it most ably consolidated, and made productive of every effect of which voices accompanied by a single instrument can be supposed capable.

Review of New Musical Publications.

the various melodies are numerous and striking: a happy relief is afforded by the contrast of their style; and the constant combination of profound science, with the felicities of a facile and florid conception, will recommend the work to universal attention. With each air a translation of the original words is given : and an elegant and emblematical engraving, executed by Hopwood, from a design by Schobert, adorns the title page. Divertimento for the Piano forte. Composed and dedicated to Miss Henrietta Russel, by G. E. Griffin. 3s. 6d.

This sonata is founded on one of the most favourite airs in Midas. It has an introductory movement, in which Mr. Griffin has successfully exercised his fancy. The subject of the movement which constitutes the sonata is variegated and worked upon with ample resources of novelty, and relieves, without abandoning, the character of its prototype.

Variations on the Bay of Biscay. Composed and inscribed to Muzio Clementi, E.sq. by Samuel Wesley, Esq. 35.

With Mr. Wesley's science and inge. nuity, the public are too well acquainted not to anticipate our approbation of these variations. They are mine in number, and are conducted with that attention to a proper relief, that the last of them is listened to with as much interest as the first. The execution is lively, the style is chaste, and the original is never too widely departed from; the ear is never suffered to forget it.

A Set of Psalm Tunes, with some Select Pieces, and an Antbem, composed in a familiar style, and figured for the Piano-forte, &c. by Thomas Clark, Canterbury. 5s.

Of this collection we cannot speak in terims of distinguished praise. The melodies are deficient in originality, and the combinations are not those of a master. An anthem, properly so called, is one of the noblest productions which music is capable of producing; and, if the piece here presented to us under that title, merited the denomination, we should not withhold our applause.

A Duett for Two Performers on One Pianoforte. Composed and dedicated to Miss Sarce, by I. G. Graeff. 5s.

This duett, in which Mr. Graeff has introduced the popular Scotch air "Pinky House," comprises three movements. The subject of the first is marked with originality, and the concluding rondo is lively and engaging. "Pinky House" is one of those melodies in which a few

69

notes are made to tell a pretty and in-
teresting tale; and Mr. S. has treated
them as if he comprehended the simpli.
city of their character, and knew how
to augment and adorn, without disgui-
sing.

Twelve Rondos, Marches, &c. selected from the
Works of Mozart, and arranged for the
Piano forte; by S. F. Rimbault.

The public are obliged to Mr. Rimbault for this useful little collection from the treasures of Mozart. It is obviously formed for the use of young practitioners, and will not fail to be as acceptable to their ear as improving to their finger. Mr. R. has indeed been so judicious in his choice, as to have brought together as many of the familiar beauties of Mozart as could possibly be comprised in the present pages.

A favourite Sonata for the Piano-forte, with an
Accompaniment for the Flute or Violin. Com-
posed and dedicated to Miss Frances Sheer, by
James Hook, Esq. 25.

Mr. Hook has displayed in this sona-
ta, much of his well-known ingenuity.
The thoughts are sprightly, are inter-
mixed with some ingenious imitations,
and flow with great ease and natural
effect. This is our description of the
first movement: the second is a minuet,
ondantino, and is elegant in its style,
though lively, unlaboured, and free of
studied ornament.
Afavourite March and Irish Step for the Piano-
forte; composed by H. R. Bishop. 1s.

This march is striking in its subject, and is conducted with spirit. Its character is of a light cast, but martial; and bears throughout evident marks of real talent, as well as of the possession of the secrets of good composition.

L'Assemblée, or Forty-eight elegant new Dances for the Year 1813, arranged for the Pianoforte or Harp. Ss.

These dances, which have single and doubled figures to each, by Mr. Wilson, possess considerable life and animation. More variety than is usual in collections of this kind, forms one of the features of the publication, and marks the inventive fancy of the composer.

"The Voice of ber I Love," a Ballad sung with universal applause by Mr. Brabam, at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Written and arranged by John Parry. 1s. 6d.

"The Voice of her I Love," is a pleasing and interesting little ballad. It has been introduced by Mr. Braham in the Castle of Andalusia with great and deserved success. The air is regular and connected,

connected, and evinces more taste and
feeling than the generality of the vocal
composers of the present day are found
to possess.

The Warsovian Polonoise, for the Piano-forte.
Composed by S. Webbe, jun. 1s. 6d.

Mr. Webbe has furnished in this little piece, a pleasing practice for piano-forte students. The subject is not without

C

interest, nor is the adscititious matter un. analogous or uninteresting.

The songs in Mr. Walter Scott's new poem of Rokeby," are setting to muSic. The composer employed on them is Mr. Whitaker, from whose muse the public has already been obliged with so many agreeable and truly original inelodies.
