NOTE to CORRESPONDENTS.

THE letter relative to the French couple at Southampton, who intruded on the author fo difagreeably, is not calculated to give any great amufement to our readers.

We should be glad to oblige Philanthropos, but really difcover nothing in the inventory of Margery Grover to merit the diftinction of a place; it is a mere catalogue of goods without

bumour or application, and confequently could only fill a space which may be more advantegeoufly occupied.

We are much obliged to the correspondent who bas favoured us with the foutb-weft profpect of Catherine chapel, but que bast lately given fo many plates of a fimilar nature, that we are under a neceffity of laying bis drawing afide, to give a proper variety to the public.

If our angry correspondent of laft month will only give the London Magazine a candid comparifon, in all refpects, with any other of its competitors, we flatter ourselves that bis determination upon the whole will not be greatly to itt difadvantage.

In fact to say nothing of Plates, Mafic, Poetry, or Monthly Chrondloger, the parchafers of the London Magazine bave lisole lefs than ten fhillings worth of reading, which we hope will not disgrace any library, for fixpence, and therefore are wain enough to think, that no fault can justly be found with the proprietors.

Horatio's request fhall certainly be complied with.

Monimia we pity moft fincerely, but think, for particular reafons, it will be more prudent 10 fupprefs than publifh the ftory of ber misfortunes.
