M WITH respect to the long description of a much longer FEAST, which lately made half the mouths in the metropolis water, we positively declare we will have nothing to do with it: such luxury, the reverse of the breakfast of Epictetus, which Congreve calls a treat for an emperor, is not at all to our taste; at the same time, we lament that any circumstance should have arisen to interrupt the harmony of a public celebration certainly calculated to promote the best of purposes. We are, however, happy that this sumptuous banquet did not terminate like the classical one that was given in Thessaly the day that Deidamia was led to the altar, or one still more celebrated (though not quite so classical as the combat of the Centaurs and the Lapithe), which, Swift says, happened much nearer home, e. g. "O'Rourk's noble fare Shall ne'er be forgot And those that were not. It gives us much concern to state, that, from the continuance of the illness of the gentleman who undertook to furnish the memoir of Sir Arthur Wellesley, we are obliged to postpone the remainder of that highly interesting article until the next month Thus, it will be believed, is as great a disappointment to us, as we know, at this particular period, it is to the public. The review of LORD LIVERPOOL'S very interesting Treatise on the Coins of the Realm is of considerable length; it shail, however, be inserted in our next. We must endeavour to make ourselves better acquainted with the subject of "SINGLE SILK's" hint, before we offer any observations upon it. We are extremely obliged to our correspondent at St. John's, Newfoundland; and should have been glad to have inserted his account of the odd fish that was cast on shore on the American coast, had we not been of opinion that his intention was waggish, and at the same time observed that his tale wants a head. We received the favours of J. S. by Mr. M. We are afraid that we shall not be able to do any thing with the Genius of Britain; nor can we promise insertion to our friend Billy Twigg. CHARLOTTE RICHARDSON's poem shall be inserted in our next; but we fear that we cannot publish the very well written letter in which it was enclosed. The reason why we decline it must appear obvious to the ingenious writer. Its being liable to be charged as an advertisement is not our objection; but it must occur, that to a publication situated as the European Magazine is, applications of the same nature must be very frequent: to insert all would be impossible; and to prefer one would certainly, by the friends of the other applicants, be considered as extreme partiality. We are sorry that we are obliged to defer Literary Gleanings till after harvest. The verses in praise of the Spanish Patriots, which, from our zeal in the cause, we tried to mend, are still too incorrect for publication. We must decline inserting any more explanations of the Enigma on Snow. Reviews of books that have not come under our own inspection are inadmissible. We find that French and Latin poetry is considered by many of our readers as occupying room in our Magazine that might be more advantageously employed. We certainly should not wish to disoblige an inoffensive Correspondent ;” but a detached passage from an unpublished tragedy (the mere opening dialogue in the first scene of the first act), we do not think very likely to "oblige" or interest our readers; and therefore, T. D. W. must pardon our declining its insertion. Wotton's Lives and Letters are not so scarce a publication, as to render extracta from it expedient in our Magazine. ERRATA, in p. 22, line 7 from bottom, for evident, read prominent.-P. 23, line 23, T. Hill docs not indicate the writer's name, but his place of residence.-Ibid. line 36, for arts, read art.—Ibid. col. 2, line 23, for opposition, read apposition.
