ORIGINAL BIUGRAPULCAL ANECDOTES cr Mr. Jama JIuddkstonc IVi/iin, i Among the rniaor stars of his day. none shone with ar.-Iter lustre than the late Mr. J. H. Wynn a man so attached to honourable pursuits, that in i the midst of abject poverty, no pecuniary I f.s»<rp could tempt him to commit af meanaction, or conduct himself, while temperate, derogatory to the principles of a gentleman. Eccentricities he pos- st'e-scu in abundance, which ottcn. made him sub- let tu the ridicule of the ungenerous. ,1 ,¡ The man of discrimination knew his merit, be- held him the ruby among pebbles, and when he I)c Could not relieve, commiserated from humane U1UU' Air. Wynn was of a very respectable latmiy in South Wales, and related to the Wynas. ot Wynn- stay, in North Wale*. His father, from misfortune, having reduced his fortune, wisely resolved on a profession for young James, and that of a compo- sitor was determined on for the hero of these me- moirs, at which he worked with that celebrated worthy, Benjamin Franklin, afterward the Solon, or Lawgiver of America; but he became disgusted ■With his nrofession, and obtained a lieutenancy in & regiment about to set out for India, The ,<II\.ISCI- of Mr. Wynn's temper was such, that it 'IF ever kept-him ill hot water; be had not proceeded far on his voyage heibre he quarrelled with his brother officers, who refused to mess with him, and actually left hi;n behind when the ship, arrived at the Cape; from whence he returned to England, and meeting with a young lady of property, enter- ed into the state of matrimony. It was about this time Mr. Wynn thought of commencing author, and his first application in that way was to Air. Geo rise TCearsiey, bookseller, in Fleet-street: from ■whose liberality he was enabled to gain a support for his tamily. He had two other employers, one -in Paternoster-row, the other in May-lair. "For the first he was doomed periodically to write rehusses and enigmas; for the other, petty fables, children's lessons in verse, or devise new {angled mgdes of playing the game of goose. As these two pillars of literature lived at so great a. distance e-part, our poor poet, who had suiTered a. total cferangement of the muscles of his right leg, was almost reduc- ed to a skeleton by his attendance on them; when he had written a dozen lines tara chila's play-card, or the halt page of a monthlymlgazine, our poet was obliged to go with his stock of commodity from Bioomsbtiry, where he occupied an attic, first to .-Jay-fair, and'then to Paternoster-row, and the rernuueration he met with-forthe effusions of his brain, was frequently insufficient to procure him the means of existence. No mall could be more sensible of his miseries than Mr. Wynn, and he would often complain, in severe terms,.of the want of generosity in his employers. The literary pro- ductions of Mr. Wynn are many; and some writ- ten for his amusement, full of merit, strongly evinc- ing Hights of true genius. His History of Ire- land"- the critics of his day belaboured with Her- 'Y- culean clubs (but critics frequently display much ill-nature, and hut little candour)., His Miseries of Authorship" does his feelings much credit; and his poem cf The Prostitute," is full of moral and tender sentiments—the offspring of a good heart. 2\[,tny other?, his pieces, have much to recommend tbera, and would not disgrace men of much greater celebrity. In his pastorals he has not been ;?o suc- cessful; when we read them, they remind us of a saying of the gentle Shenstone—" That k is not the pining of the shepherd we hear, but the bleat- ing of his sheep." Mr. Wynn (as before observed) was not without his eccentricities, and some of them so inflated with pride, that their possessor appeared truly ri- diculous. The noblest minds are ever hardiest in distress; but Air. W. was'insolcnt in rags, turbu- lent when in want of a meal, and would insult his best friend for doing him an act ot kindness unso- licited of which the following anecdote is an instance. MnWsngurc was below the middle stature: his face thin and pale; his head thinly covered with black It Air, collected ilr -It. tail about the thick- ness of a tobacco pipe. His emaciated right leg >vrts sustained by an unpolished iron he wore his gloves without fingers, and his clothes in tatters. b such trim he one day entered Mr. kearsley's, bookseller, in Fleet-street, who possessed a heart 'bit c susceptible of every good, and a hand ever ready to relieve distress. Mr. K's shop was the lounge tor gentlemen .of literary attachment, who stopped to enquire the occurrences of the day, and several persons of fashion were present when W. entered, and began to talk in a way that shewed want of good breeding his shabby appearance, together w ith his unbridled loquacity, threw Mr. Kearsley .icto a fever, until he got rid of him after which, moved at the indelicacy of Wynn's appearance, Mr. K. from the purest motives, took a suit of his clothas, almost new, and, with other appendages, bundled them together in a handkerchief, and with a polite note, sent them after Mr. W. to his lodg- ings. As this was doue without the knowledge of a third person, and -in so polite a way, it would not be unreasonable to suppose Mr. W. received the gift with thankilduess, at least with good manners; but the result proved otherwise—he stormed like a madman) and, in a rage, returned the bundle, though, he was covered with rags like a pauper; writing bv the porter, that the mly he had expe- rienced \va,s brutality—the otYiciousness to serve hiny insolence and if ever Mr. K. did the like <t:?;,lill till he was requested, he wouid chastise him in another way. This would have been a wren pouncing upon an eagle; for Mr. Kearsley was u tail, stout man, a Colossus to Wynn. Notwithstanding the above, Mr. W. was not without his attachment to dress und fashion. A short time previous to his publishing his History oi Ireland, Mr. W. expressed a desire to dedicate it to the Duke of Northumberland, who was just returned from being Lord Lieutenant of that coun- ty for ;Ins purpose he waited on Dr. Percy, and met with a very polite reception. The Duke was made acquainted with Mr. W's wishes, and Dr. I Percy went as a messenger ot glad tidings to the author. But there was more to be done than a lormal introduction; the poor writer intimated this to the good Doctor, who., m the most delicate b- e Y tonns, begged his acceptance of an almost new suit of black, which, with a very little alteration, might be made to fit. This, the Doctor urged, would he the best, as there W¡j" not tithe to provide a. new suit and other things necessary for hib debut, as the Duke had appointed the Monday in the next week to give tite historian an audience. Mr. W,. approved of'the Doctor's plan in all respccts, aud the same day the clerical black adorned the attic, in a stable yard, near Montague-house. In the mean time Mr. W. had prepared hiityjelf with a set speech, and a manuscript of the dedication. But to digress a, little, it must be understood that Dr. I Percy was considerably, in stature, above Mr. W. and his coat sufficiently large to wrap round the latter, and conceal him. The morning came for -the author's public entry at Northumberland- house; but, alkil- one grand, jnistake had been made in the hurry of business no application had, been made to the tailor for the necessary alteration of his clothes however, great minds are not cast down with ordinary occurrences Mr. Wynn dres- sed himself- in Dr. Percy's friendly suit, together with a borrowed sword, and a hat under his arm of great antiquity; then, taking leave of ids trem- bling wife, he set out for the great house in the Strand. True to the. moment he arrived, Dr. Per- cy attended, and the Duke was ready to receive our poet, whose figure at this time presented the appearance of a suit of sables hung on a hedge stake, or one of those bodiless forms we see swing- ing on a dyer's pole. On his introduction, Mr. Wynn began his formal address; and the noble Duke was so moved at the singularity of the poet's appearance, that, In spite of his gravity, he burst the bonds of good manners; and at length, agitated by an endeavour to restrain risibility, leaped from his chair, forced a purse of thirty gui- neas into Mr. Wynn's hand, and hurrying out of the room, told the poet he was welcome to make what use he pleased of his name and patronage. In the year 1780, Mr. Wynn addressed an Ode to her Majesty on her Birth-day, beginning Heard ye the welcome sound of joy ? Heard ye the swelling notes of praise ? What theme like virtue can employ 1, The lyre, or wake the poet's lays ?" This little piece was well received, and a more favoured Laureat has since not thought it beneath his character to imitate. Wr. Wynn began now to extend his fame, and several periodical booksellers with great eagerness solici ted his literary assistance. About this time, a very singular character obtruded himself upon the town. His figure was that of a corpulent giant: he was vulgar in his manner, im- pudent and vain, and by many termed the Bear ov Poppin's-ailey—this man, with the little property he derived from a respectable uncle, turned book- seller, and opened a shop in the Old Bailey. The first publication he sent into the world was, The Rambler's Magazine. It had a wonderful circula- tion among 'prentice boys, indecent rakes, and pro- fligates. After this civic Priapus had skimmed the hot-beds of Rochester, the Philosophical Theresa, Fanny Hill, and others of the same school,, he be- gan to look out for literary assistance, and our hero was to be the selected man. One morning early, as the bookseller was passing through Fleet- street, he met Wynn coming out of the shop of Mr. G. Kearsley.—" My dear Sir," said he, "you are the very person I want: do me the favour to assist in a new popular publication, and you may make your own terms, two sheets a month at least, at two guineas a sheet, and draw the cash when you please." At this Mr. Wynn began to smile; it was the thing he most wanted; and the proposal occa- sioned heartfelt satisfaction. But when, how, and where said the poet, in ecstacy. '< I'll give you the meeting this evening," replied the book- seller, at five precisely, at the Last Shift, in Pop- pin's-alley, where we will together plan and digest the preliminaries." The time came, and Mr. Wynn was shewn into a parlour, where an afternoon party had been smoaking and drinking. The bookseller had a singular attachment to a hasty pudding, and the mistress of the Last Shift had a standing order to prepare one for him every evening at five o'clock. The great man entered the room, and placed him- self in the president's chair: the parties congratu- lated each other, and went to business. Two sheets a month, and draw the cash at pleasure," said the little Welshman. Exactly so," returned the publisher. Here a long dialogue ensued, in which Mr. Wynn became so much enraged at what he conceived "the illiberal terms of the bookseller, that he snatched up the hasty pudding, threw it in the bookseller's face, and walked away. The Rev. Dr. Madan had just written and pub- lished a very singular book in vindication of po- lygamy, called Thelypthora. It was composed pur- posely to extenuate the conduct of a rich mer- chant in the Borough, a. friend of Dr. Madan's, who had married two wives, and (what must ap- pear extraordinary) lived in tolerable harmony with both under the same roof. This book, Mr. ■Wynn borrowed, and returned it again with the following epigram, written on one of the leaves in /;) red ink If John marries Mary, and Mary alone, 'Tis a very good match between Mitry and John But if John weds a score—0 what claws and what scratches! It can't be a match, but a bundle of matches." A hundred more instances might be produced of Mr, Wynn's ready wit and humour but, as they still live in the memory of his friends, we shall conclude with observing, that his only faults were, negligence with respect to exterior appearance, and obstinacy in refusing to accept obligation?, tendered, from the purest motives, bv many who were desirous of serving him in distress. His whole garb at times was not worth a crown, not- withstanding which, he was met with respect. His morals were noble; and those who had the advantage of his friendship, received him with a smile, and were happy to say with Shakespear- Even in these honest, inean'habilimeuts, « Our purses shall be proud'— For,'tis the mind that makes the. body rich: And, as the sun breaks through the darkest clouds, So honour peereth in the meanest habit; W bat! is the jay more precious than the lark, Because his feathers are more beautiful ? Or, is the adder better than the eel, "Because his painted skin contents the ,eye ?" At length nature began to decay his limbs and intellects forsook him; but the affection of his children threw a veil Over his infirmities. Upon the great stage of life, he acted well his part; and here we drop the curtain.

Dispatches have ;been received by Government from New South Wales, dated thellth of March, stating that an insurrection had broken out there, which for some time threatened serious conse- quences. The insurgents, who were chiefly united Irishmen, assembled at Castle-hill, with the avow- ed object of marching to Paramatta, and after planting the tree cf liberty at the Government House, to proceed to Sydney. Their designs were, however,, frustrated by die act Wily or fhs Gorna- ment. The insurgents .arere entirely routed, three hundred <>f them were taken, or delivered them- selves up; ten were selected* tried by a Court- Martial, -and sentenced to death, nine of whom'were selves up; ten were selected* tried by a Court- Md.rdal.andseutenced to death, nine of whom were hung. Martial law had been proclaimed by the Governor, but when these dispatches came away, II the insurrection was effectually-,quelled,- and the 1 proclamation of martial law war*' revoked. A letter from a person in St. Jago de Cuba, dated May (5, states, that a revolt had taken place among the blacks,, who have risen and massacred several t of the Spanish inhabitants. In addition to these alarming symptoms, armed brigand boats from I Hispaniola were daily making incursions on the shore, plundering and destroying the inhabitants. Apprehensions were so serious of approaching dis- tress and bloodshed, that the white residents were preparing with all possible expedition to leave the place,thc only probable means of saving their lives. The marked hatred of the blacks in St.. Domingo to the whites is daily evidenced:. An American Cap- tain walking the streets was accosted by a negro drummer in the following insolent manner-.—" You d- d white rascal stand out of the wav." An English Lieutenant of a frigate ofrjhe town, resenting the same treatment, had a difficult escape to his ship; the Commander of which, hearing his complaint, required the Americans to haul out of the way, that he might lay his ship to batter the town. The satisfaction he required, at first, denied, was now acceded to. The account of the arrival of Jerome Bonaparte at Ferrol is discredited. He had not left New- York on the 23d of June; ftnd the French frigates which were to convey him home were closely watch- ed by two or three British ships of war, stationed off the- harbour. The following humourous paragraph appear^ in the New-York Gazetteer of the 25th ult.—" Quere foruuderwriters—What premium on the French frigates La Sybelle, and La Didon, at and from New-York, to the first port they can make in Eu- rope, with liberty to touch at a port in England? Having Bonaparte on board, there will be no war- ranty against contraband of war." It may be judged of what consequence the cap- ture of-Surinam is to the English, when letters from Paramaribo, to a respectable banking-house at Am- sterdam, say, that at the arrival of the English in that colony, it contained coffee enough to load 800, and1 sugar enough to fill 4000 large West-Indiamen, not including other productions, as cotton, rum,&c. A gentleman just arrived from France states, that the people are far from being satisfied with their new Emperor; that many of tnem openly ex- press their disapprobation of his conduct, and that this spirit has been particularly manifested in La Vendee, where it was apprehended a new commo- tion would soon take place. Dumont and his wife, Dubuisson and his wife, andYnrdet, who had been tried as accomplices in the late conspiracy in France, were among those to whom Bonaparte "had extended his mercy. That mercy has since been realised in his own peculiar way, by sending, them to Rochefort, from whence they are to be transported to the colonies. General Moreau's friends have received -advice, by express, of his having arrived on the Spanish frontiers. Bonaparte is said to have remitted to him all the expences of the trial, which exceed 300,000 francs, 12,0001. ♦ The Prince of Orange has at length succeeded in c, obtaining the final settlement of his indemnifica- tion, which is understood to be six millions, to be paid off by instalments. A young Dutch lady lately addressed a letter to Sir Sidney Smith, offering her heart, hand, and for- tune to the gallant Knight, if he would deliver her country from what she called the French yoke. The letter having been put into the mail at Rotter- dam, was carried to the French General Monet, who caused her to be immediately arrested, and she is now in confinement. Two considerable bankruptcies have lately taken place in Hamburgh. One for 500,000 marks, and another for 1,274,790 marks. These, however, are the only failures of any magnitude since the block- ade of the Elbe. A letter from an officer on.board the British squa- dron off Boulogne, dated July 24, says, Yesterday evening the weather being clear, and the sun shining upon the French coast, we had a very good view of the enemy, and have clearly ascertained that their Joss in the gale of Friday and Saturday last has been very considerable.—We distinctly counted nine wrecks on the rocks between Portel and Boulogne, and from the boldness of the coast and the tremendous sea, when they went ashore, it is scarcely possible that any of the people on board, .r)00 in number at least, could have been saved— the entire coast between Boulogne and Portel was covered with waggons and soldiers,- clearing away. the wrecks, and an immensitv of small boats were engaged in searching the bottom tor different arti- cles. In the space of 50 yards, close under Portel, there are a gun-brig and four luggers completely to pieces.—The few brigs that succeeded in getting into Boulogne, seem to be much damaged in their masts ancrrigging; indeed, from the amazing surf, 19-1 when getting in, it is impossible it could be other- wise. Altogether, the''loss of the enemy on Satur- day morning, has been th(t most severe they have met with since the commencement of the war, and it is highly probable that the soldiers will not be so sanguine for the expedition, after having had such convincing proofs of the danger attending it, and having seen our ships ride out gales of wind in per- fect safety, when they have invariably suffered, both in men and vessels." On the 23d instant, the Stag revenue cutter, of Rye, commanded by Mr. John Betts, the mate, fell in with, off Beachy Head, two large French luggers, in pursuit of a collier, and gave chace to them, but they escaped; however, following their direc- tion, he again got sight of them, just as they had I taken possession of an English brig; ,he soon came up with them, and altera few broadsides dronrr the cutter, the luggers separated in different directions, leaving the vessel they had captured he pursued the leemost of the two, which he drove on shore at Dieppe; lie then tacked and stood for the English shore, in the direction where he thought the other lugger and brig might be, and soon alter discovered the lugger, having the brig in tow, who perceiving the cutter coming up, took his men out of the prize, and made sail for the French shore, to which he was chased by the cutter, until he got under the protection of the batteries of Treeport: the cutter then rejoined her re-capture, when she found her to be an Irish trader, with a cargo of provisions worth 12,0001. The master of the brig, who was left on board by the Frenchmen, says, that they informed him (and which agrees with the observation of those on board the cutter) that one of the luggers had 16 guns and 100 men, and the other 10 guns and 70 snen. The fares sf thi curte-r was mly 12- gums ,tm] 30 men,. I A most beautiful frigate, named the Lively, was launched fro n the dock-yard at Woolwich on Mon- day. The .Princoso 'of Wales, in a magnificent yacht, and several distinguished naval oliicer-in barges and cutters, were present. By the returns'made to Lord ilawkesbury's office, it appearsHhat upwards ot 500 persons in the dif~ j fcrerit prisons in the united kingdom.have received his Majesty's most gracious pardon, on condition.] of serving"in the navy, and that they have been j received and placed on board the respective ships 1 of war. j Lieutenant Bluet, of the Stately man of war, has j been found guilty by a Court-Martial at the Nore, j of desoi.'tion from that ship, frequent drunkenness, j and neglect of duty; in consequence of which, he | has been sentenced to be dismissed from his sit.ua- j tion as Lieutenant, and to serve as a foremast man, j and never in any other capacity. j Lieut.-Col. Robert Hollo Gillespie, of the 20th light dragoons, who was tried at Colchester by a ¡ Court-Martial on the 29th of last month, which was ¡ continued to the 17th inst. on a charge preferred I ag:amst him by Major Allen Cameron, ot signing ,-n I I false returns in the Island of Jamaica, has been I most- honourably acquitted; and Major Cameron has been informed that his Majesty has no further occasion for his services. The numerous tenantry of Mr. Coke, of Holkham, Norfolk, on Monday presented him with a superb vase, valued at 700i. as a testimony of esteem for t his judicious and liberal conduct as a land-owner and occupier.—At the same meeting it wag pro- posed and agreed to open another subscription for the purpose" of conferring a compliment on Mr. Kent, for the integrity and impartiality of his con- duct as a land-steward, and estimator of farms be- tween landlord and tenant. A superb equestrian statue of the Prince of Wales, in bronze, is in contemplation for the cen- tre of the Steyne at Brighton. The statue is to be raised upon a rock the horse to be represented as in full speed, and trampling the emblems of envy and malice beneath his feet. It is to be paid for by subscription, in which appear the names, of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk and other nobility. The transfer books for the consolidated three per cents, opened on Wednesday, the 1st of August. Thursday Mr. Pitt was entertained with a sump- tuous dinner by the Grocers Company, and his health was drank with rapturous applause. Mr. Charles Sheridan, formerly Secretary at War m Ire- land, and brother to R. B. Sheridan, Esq. has invented an apparatus, by means of which, without the assistance of mirrors, the same person, or any other given object is made; to appear to the human eye in three distinct places at the same time. It has been exhibited at the Royal Institute, ] :o the great admiration and surprise of the spectators and the experiment was made last week before the Prince of I Wales. ] Thursday last, whilst some men were employed in stack ing hay, at Stock with, near Gainsbro', the following very extraordinary circumstance occurred: adjoining the stack there was a kind of shed, under which were several hives of bees; a waggon horse, employed about the hay, chanced to be situated close to the shed, and, by some motion of his head, displaced one of the tiles belonging to it. This so irritated the insects, that they immediately sallied forth in a body, fastened upon the poor animal's head, and lodg- ed their stings in every part of it; inside of the mouth, ears, and eyes-nc) part escaped their vengeance. The poor horse being confined, could make but little exertions to rid himself of his inveterate enemies, nor dare any of the by-standers for some time attempt to free him. In the mean time he was struggling in all the. agonies of the most excruciating pain and when at last he was liberated, it was shocking to behold the writhings of the distracted ani- mal—by the wonderful exertions he made when uncon- fined, he presently rid himself of the bees—but it was too late; the innumerable stings which were lodged in his head produced a mortification, and after remaining in ex- treme misery till the next day, he expired. A melancholy circumstance occurred at Nottingham Assizes :—About three o'clock in the afternoon of Friday last, as one of the Grand Jury was returning from the Court, he dropped down in a fit, and instantly expired. The following is recommended as a cheap and lasting paint for gates, rails, and palisades:—Skimmed milk, 2 quarts; fresh slaked lime, 8 ounces; boiled linseed oil, 6 ounces; white Burgundy pitch, 2 ounces Spanish white, 3 pounds. Slake the lime by dipping it in water, and then expose it to the air till it falls into powder, then mix it in a. fourth part of the milk, adding the oil, a little at 3 time stir it well with a. wooden spatula, adding the remainder of the milk lastly, add the Spanish white. The pitch must be previously dissolved in the oil by a gentle heat; when used, to be laid on (two coats) with a painter's brush; the expence about a. hatf-pcnuy a square yard. An American gentleman lately complained in company, that having dined the day before at Richmond, a pair of roast JMC/M were charged hirai at 11. Is. "Sir," said a wag who was present, the extortion is nothing to the great discovery in natural history which you have to an- nounce on your return—You may fairly state that ducks, in some parts of England, have altered their species, and become Guinea fowls." A t'agrant being brought before a magistrate, charged with wandering about and lying in the open air," re- plied, in justification, that he was only attending his duties as aField Officer. Joseph Jackson and Thomas Bucknell, the victims of the violated laws of their-country, were on Thursday morning brought from Newgate to the place of execution, in order to suffer the dreadiul punishment annexed to the crime of forgery. When the inferior officers of justice at- tended to conduct them from their cell to the scaffold, they found them in a situation which too clearly indicated that they had attempted to destroy themselves. They had taken poison; but it was either not of sufficient virulence, or had not b"en administered in such a way as to destroy life. It produced olllya sort of lethargy, but not to that degree as to prevent the uniortunate men from feeling, the wretchedness into which their gtiilt had plunged them. They were obliged to be supported on the platform by the. executioner and his assistants., and the weak state to which they had reduced themselves, rendered their passage tu I eternity but of short.duration. Miss Richardson, well known in the musical world as a conceit singer, and ,n: ladies music parties, has ..within these few days been married to a Colonel in the army, possessed of an income of 60001. a year. The happy pair left London ip a coach and four, to spend their honey- moon at Spa. Hie bride is .19, and the bridegroom 50. MARRIED.—J<>lm Forbes, Esq, second son of Gen.
