Though some of the opinions expressed by the author present no no velty, taken as a whole, the work may be considered both amusing and instructing. Let the following dta logne between Louis XIV. and his Father Confessor serve as a specimen : "II L. , . 111 1) • • &. 1 4tA Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and States men. By Walter Savage Landor, Esq. 2 Vols. LA CHAISE. " Confeis, Sire, confess! I will pour the oil into your wounded spirit, taking due cate that the vengeance of Heaven be satisfied by your Atonement." LOWS. " Intelligence was brought to me that the cock of the English General had prepared a superb dinner, in conse quence of what that insolent and vain-glorious people are in the habit of calling a success. We shall soon see, ex claimed I, who is successful: GOD protects France. The whole army shouted, and, I very believe, at that moment syc.uld have conquered the world. 1 deferred it :my de signs lie in my own breast. Father, I never heard such a shout in my life: it reminded me of Cherubim and Sera phim and Archangels. Theinfantry cried with joy, the horses capered and neighed,and broke wind right and left, from an excess of animation. Leopard-skins, bear-skins, Genoa velvet, Mechlin ruffles, Brussels cravats, feathers, and fringes and golden bands, up in the air at once; paw ings and snortings, threats and adjurations, beginnings and ends of songs. I was Henry and Cesar, and Alexander and David, and Charlemagne and Aganieumort—l had only to give the word ; they would swim across the Chan nel, and bring the tyrant of proud Albion back in chains. All my prudence was requisite to repress their ardour. " A letter had been intercepted by my scouts, ad dressed by the wife of the English General to her hus band. She was .at Gorcum ; she informed him that she would send him a glorious mince pie for his dinner the following day, in celebration of his victory. Devil ' incarnate,' said I, on reading the dispatch, I will di, appoint thy malice.' 1 was so enraged, that I went' within a mile or two of cannon-shot ; and I should hive tone within half a mile if my dignity bad permitted me, or if my resentment had lasted. I liberated the messenger, detaining as hostage his son, who accom• panied him, and promising that if the mince pie was secured, I would make him a chevalier on the spot.— PROVIDENCE favoured our arms. But unfortunately there mere among my Staff Officers some who had fought under Tnrenne, and who, I suspect, retained the infection of hi: eq. They presented the mince pie to me on their knees, and I ate; it was Fr iday ; I did not remember the day when I began to eat; but the sharpness of the weather, the odour of the pie, and something of vengeance spring ing up again at the sight of it, made me continue after I had recollected: and fa- my greater condemnation, I had inquired that vet y morning of what materials it was com posed. GOD set his face against me, and hid from me the light of his countenarrce: I lost victory after victory, no body knows how, for my Generals %vele better than the enemy's, my soldiers mote numerous, more brave, more dicciplined. And, extraordinary and awful ! even those who swore to conquer or (Ile, ran back again like whelps just Belt, crying, It it thefint duly of a soldier to see his King in safely. I never heard so many fine sentiments, or fewer songs. My stomach was out of order by the visit ation of the LOUD. I took the sacrament on the Surday." LA CHAISE. "The sacrament on a Friday's Bras ! I should have recommended an enema first, with a de projundis, a oniserere, and an etuctavit car mum, and lastly a little oil of ricina, which administered by the holy and taken by the faithful is almost as efficacious in its way as that . of Rheims. Penance is to be done : your Majesty must last : your Majesty must wear sackcloth next your skin, and carry ashes upon your head before the people." CHANGE OF TIM SEAT OF COLD DURING FROST, It is both clearly proved, and philosophically ac counted for, that air is %%Palmer close to the earth than at sonic di.tance above it, and we consequently find lofty mountains, even in warm climates, constantly crowned with snow. During a frost, however, things appear to be reversed. The experiment has been often made, and we take the most concise account, which is an observation made one winter in Hampshire. Th. White placed a thermometer on the top of a hill in Silborne, and aivither in the valley, towards evening, of a very cold night. Doting the night, that in the valley went down to one degice below zero, that is, 33 degrees below the freezing point ! Whereas that on the hill, 200 fret at least higher, fell only to 17 or 15 de glees lower than the ft eezing point. On the following morning, that in the vale was at 20, while the elevated thermometer was at '22: so that the difflence of cold between the two situations was once 18 degrees less above than below, and through the whole irost con • tinned 10 or 12. This variation in temperature was confirmed by the total destruction of the forest ever greens in the valley, those on the hill remaining unhurt. —Mechanic's Magazine. A letter from Stuyina, dated March 5, announces flesh atrocities on the part 01 the Turks. " The villa of Follieri," it says, " has jim been the theatre of a sanguinary catastrophe. Light y jbur Cheeks have been inas , acred at that place. A Tut k, returning from his Clujiit, fell floor his horse, and was wounded by his dagger, which came out of its sheath. He was carried to FoLLlEnt's house, where the people followed him, asking by whom he had been wounded ? fle an swered, that it was . by himself, in consequence of a f a ll from his horse. No,' cried the multitude, tilw Greeks did it.' In vain did he as-ore them to the contrary; the people, excited by ill-disposed persons, attacked a ll the Greeks whom they met in the streets on the 17th and 18th of February, and massacred eiglity•four.— T ianqu iliiry was partially restored on the 19th." SAYINGS AND Dorscs.—Snell is the popularity of thirWork, that the entire Second Edition was yesterday subieribest off among the London Booksellers. Such success, we believe, is unexampled since the appearance of the Waverley Novels. JOHN S AL TER, 35, Strand, Goldsmith, Silversmith, and Sword-cutler to his Royal Highness the Duke of Si.sstx, re spectfully returns his most grateful thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, bis Friends, and the l'ublic, whe have so liberally suppotted hint during twenty-four years. He takes this opportunity to inform them, that he has rebuilt the house (lately destroyed by fire), at the corner of the Adelphi, where he has laid in a new and fashionable Assort ment of Goods, such as, be trusts. will, merit the continuance of their patronage, support, and approbation. his Friends, and he is determined to meet the times, by selling the best articles on the very lowest terms. • EVENIATT;TAR.

Accounts from the Prussian Provinces on the Rhine say, that important changes are expected shortly to take place in the organisation of the several branches or the Administration. The French institutions have hi therto been retained there, though it was-understood that they would not be permanently confirmed ; some alterations have however been made in the legal form. It is now said that the administration of justice will' be lorganised in the Prussian manner, and that the Prussian codes will be introduced. Nothing, however, is yet kno,Nn officially on this subject. Some uncertainty still prevails respecting the organisation of the Provincial Assemblies in those Rhenish Provinces. It is not doubted, indeed, that they will be introduced ; but it is supposed that some time will elapse before it can be done, as it will be very difficult to determine the basis of a representation in these countries. A good orga nisation of the Communes, however, may be expected shortly. The Commission appointed for this purpose at Coblentz, has closed its Sittings, and what has trans pired of its proceedings inspires great hopes. The works at Cobientz and Ehrenbreitstein, which have not been wholly suspended during the v,inter, are now re sum.%l with greater activity ; but it is not expected that they will be completed before the end of the summer of 1825. The delays that have taken place in the execution of' the Concordat with the See of Home, are to be removed by the intervention of the Papal Nuncio in Switzerland,' who will go to Berlin for that purpose, as soon as he' has fulfilled his mission in the Netherlands, where he at present is. SA3IOS, MARCH 1. A gold mine has been happily discovered in our island, of which it is true little advantage can be take') at present, amidst the bustle of military armament. We, however, continue to enjoy undisturbed tranquillity and SCCUI ity. Our fate de f ends on ourselves—that is, on 10 or 1'2,000 well armed and well disciplined men ; who are ready to die fur the liberty of their country. —Batteries are erected wherever there is any occasion for them ; and wherever the enemy may land the main force can be imniejiately collected ; the plan fur the defence of the island, laid down by able officers, is good, and in the execution of it, the necessity of conquering or perishing will supply our want of experience. Wei l have had full tine to fortify the island by art, where it is naturally too much exposed to attack. Samos is in miniature like the Moietwai:ll its mountains and defiles, and the fruitful vallies between. A mountain which com mands the sea is accessible only on one side, and this place is mine easy to defend than the Thermopy he.— On the summit of this mountain there is a convent de dicated to the Virgin, to which the women, children, and aged will be brought, if the Turks should land. This forenoon we received a Jamaica Mail, with Pa. pers to the ith ultimo. They contain very importan intelligence train l'e;u. The troops of AGUERO had joined BoLivAn, and AGGERO him-elf has been ar rested. The following particulars are from the Jamaica I llolial Gazette of the oth March : " Bogota and Carthagena Gazettes have been received here, and from them we learn, that they had at these places advices from Peru up to the 26th December. The defection of Riva Aguero, and the successes of Ge neral Santa Cruz in the South, had prevented the cam paign. The auxiliary division of Chili, given up by the Director, consisting of 2,500 men, had arrived at Cal lao, and was to be followed by G3O cavalry. General Santa Cruz, with a strong column, remained at Arica, and kept the enemy in check. " Colonel Ibarra, Aide-de•Camp to the Liberator, who had just arrived at Bogota, from Ti %mill°, brought accounts of the President having been obliged, in con fortuity with the resolution of the Congress, to employ force to put down the faction of Riva Aguero ; but on his Excellency approaching the troops destined by Aguero for the invasion of Lima, one of the Officers of the latter proclaimed their union with the legitimate dovernment of Peru, and arrested Aguero and General Herrera, who commanded their army, and delivered them up. In consequence of this, the 4,000 men corn posing this force were united to the main Army, en.l :101 end put to the intestine discord that threatened the de-, struction of the free portion of Peru. The two Chiefs have been conducted to Guayaquil, and are to be sent to Europe. These accounts agree with the public pa pers of Lima, which mention the march of the Liberator, with the Colombian troops, towards Truxillo. " By the sloop Non mi Ricordo, we have advices that a schooner arrived at St. Sago de Cuba on the 28th ultimo, the Master of which stated, that a large fleet, having on board 10,000 men, had arrived at Martinique, from France." If the latest accounts from Constantinople are to be relied on, the negotiations between the Porte and Rus sia have taken a very favourable turn, and a Russian Ambassador is daily expected. The Russian aims had been replaced over the gate of the Russian Consul's house, to the great joy of the Turks. The English declaration of war against Algiers, the nominal subject of the Porte,has excited a great sensation in the Tut kish capital, and, cou pled with the operations of Lord BytioN, had not a little embarrassed the pacific exertions of Lord &visa NGFORD• —On the 14th of March, it is said, the Tut kish Ministry transmitted to his Lordship, through their dragoman, a dispatch containing a formal demand to desist from hostilities on Algerine ships, and to order home Lord By noN, and the other English who support the Greek insult ection. On the 19th, Lord STRANGFORD is stated • to have dispatched a Courier to his Government for new instructions. The Divan, unacquainted with the nature of our Constitution, and the latitude it allows to the sub ject, cannot conceive how English Lords or English ships can fight against the Crescent, while the English Government is an ally and a mediator. Private letters from Paris, state that it has excited much surprise in France, that the discussion of the finan cial plan of M. VILLE:LE should have been adjourned from Thursday to Saturday, calculated as it is to effect an important saving in the Revenue; but the fact is, the French legislators are not financiers. The Editor of the Etoile speaks with great confidence of the disputes between the different parties in Colom bia, as being likely to lead to the re-establishment of the Royal authority these. We should be more ready to believe this if we saw the Government in Spain ad vancing toward anything like a settled organization; ' but w hile all is confusion and disorder at Madrid, there is no reason to expect that Colombia will again submit to the Colonial yoke; in short, it is quite impossible Spain can a second time conquer South America: she ' has not a CORTES or a PizAßno now, although, if the ac counts are to be believed, some of her commanders have been no bad imitators of the worst characteristics of these great men. THE KING. NV's:molt, APRIL 23.—This being the anniversary of his MAJEsTr's Bit thday, the mottling was ushered in by the ringing of the Palish Church and Castle bells, and although the weather has been patticularly unfa vourable all the morning, the inhabitants are making great rrepatat:osis 1.. r a gencral illumination. Ttte Royal Horse iiitaids and 7.5 th Regiments received orders to as•,emble in the Long Walk at one o'clock, to file a feu-de joie, but the continuation of lain prevented their purpo,e. A Royal Saute was fired with small cannon by tie Bachelors of Windsor in their Am, at one o'clock, LAw PrzomoTloN.—We tinkle' stand that STEPHEN Gexetur, E.g. one of the King's Counsellors will fill the vacAnt situation pf Judge in the Court of King's Bench, in the room of Mr. Justice Bum., now Lost) CIIIIF JCSTICK of the Court of Com mon Pleas.

Counte,s DE Git EY arrived yesterday, at her house in St. James's-square, from her seat, Putney Heath. Mr. llgnities, the Secretary to the Treasury, and family, have left town for the Easter recess, to remain at Seven Oaks. Kent. The lion. Secretary occupies the seat heretofore pos. sessed by Lord AMHERST, the present Governor-General of India. Thus, by a curious coincidence, the Treasury Secretary and Mr. Hums will be passing their Faster holidays at the same place ; as the Hon. Alember fur Aberdeen rusticates at Seven Oaks. Nlajor-General PatEvosr has been dangerously ill, and still continues seriously indisposed. Mr. Alderman VENABLEE is SU far recovered from his late indisposition as to be able to leave town. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF BATH A NIAVELLs.Ir-BATII, ' Aram 22.—The melancholy knolling of the muffled Abbey bell announces the death of our venerable Diocesan, the Bishop of BATH and Watts, who departed this life late last night,or early this morn ing, at his house in the Circus, at the advanced age of nearly 85. Greenwich Park and the Fair were unusually splen did this year. The Caseramtoa of the 8 . /emu/es and his lovely bride, Lord Baxter, and many other branches of the Nobility were in the Promenade, seemingly much delighted with the friskiness of the holiday folks. The statement respecting the statue of Queen ANNE, in 'St. Paul's Church-yard,which we copied from a Morning Paper, is, we find, erroneous. Her Majesty has had an entire new bust substituted for her late mutilated body, executed by Mr. HENinsa, jun. wlttrexhibits several beautiful pieces of Sculpture, (including a bust a Mr. GALT), in the gallery of the Society of B ritish Artists. levityl other necessary repairs of the statue have been done by the same artist, and in a short time her Majesty will appear corn. pletelf renovated.

No other candidate being pi oposed, Mr. G REEN& was unanimously elected. A French boat arrived at Dover yesterday morning from Boulogne, bringing a special dispa:cli for his Ma jesty's Secretary of State.—Kentish Gazette, April 23. The Act to regulate the conveyance of Country Bankers' packets through the Post-Office, which last week teceived the Royal Assent, contains a clause for the punishment of persons embezzling Newspapers or primed proceedings in Parliament. • Muslcat, FUND.—The Anniversary Dinner of this Institution took place at the Freemasons Tavern. T,,e attendance of the Gentlemen interested in this Society was numerous; and the gallery was adorned by the presence of many Ladies, who appeared to take a lively intetest in the scene that was passing beneath them.— Ills Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX had signified his intention of presiding on this occasion, but owing to an accident with which he had met, and which con fined him to the house, his Royal Highness had deptnetl Colonel W I LDM A N, of his own household, to express hi, sorrow for the accident ss hich prevented him from being among them, and to lequest that gallant Colonel might be accepted as his representative in the Chair, who vas accordingly unanimously called to the Chair. A dreadful accident occurred a short time ago at Marjevols. The Vicar of the parish, accompanied by more than eighty persons, went to the house of a poor sick woman, to administer the Sacrament. Upon en tering the chamber, which was on the second story, the Boor suddenly fell, and the whole party were preci pitated to the first Boor, which likewise at the same instant gave way, with a loud and tremendous crash. According to a letter from Fi iburg (Switzerland) many duels were fought during the winter, between the students of that University, several of whom teceived serious wounds, and one died of them. The higher au thorities believing that the cause of these duels is the clashing opinion of various secret socicies, have ap pointed a Commissioner to inquire into the subject. A fortune-teller was apprehended last Saturday, on the complaint of a girl from Ashburton. The girl had consulted the sybil in her profession. 'fhe latter, find ing Miss Credulous was possessed of seven pounds, caused her to produce it. Of this cash a potent charm was to be formed. Pretending to wrap it up in a hand kerchief, she redelivered the package, after many a charm over it, to the girl, with an injunction to lay it under her pillow. The prophetess had not departed many hours, before the girl's faith yielded to her cu riosity. She opened the parcel, and found her seven pounds reduced to a halfpenny. The girl pursued, and overtook her swindler at Exeter, but too late to recover her money. Ten prisoners were sent from Chelmsford jail on the 14th instant, destined for New South Wales: Ed ward Blighton, and John Blighton (uncle and nephew), Stephen Harding, Flits. Christill, Benjamin Ellis, Tho mas King alias Hammond, Wm. Brailey, and Robert Flower Ames. The last prisoner had before been trans ported to the same Colony, and at the expiration of his period of banishment from his native soil, found him self in possession of a sum of money, and a public house, upon the sign of which was the billowing in scription :—" GOD Speed the Plough.' Desirous of again seeing Old England, he came over with his ca pital, upon a speculation, but by visiting his old haunts, he fell in with his former associates, and is now about to return; with but an indifferent character, to spend the remainder of his days upon a spot which he ought not to have quitted, and where it appears he left a wife. His last offence was a burglary at Ramsey, Harwich. Wednesday, about halt-past lour, a fire of a most de structive mature occurred at Long Compton, in the county of War wick, occasioned by a buy's going to a neighbour's house fur the purpose of procuring live embers. part of which he dropped on some loose straw. The wind being very high at the time, the fire quickly readied a thatched cottage, .jruin which it spread in every direction, and in less than two hours seven house:, and }everal ricks of corn and hay were entirely deStroyed. 1 bin; nor slid 'to d pukes for thet e shot It is cot DAciroews shortly oil forces in Noe; w Aceoun tke 69th 1 take pbce W as curt be cal/cola b eg inning India dur noble deft the 19th 1 of Travat wttletuen Sack bats The and altl position health i waters. differen , that his !or his The Monda; bciu.: In di first cat LORD consegt him ye! and vI kc. he whici)F Court, 'less of the rest casion, ever. nity of Inelifl Gentle The nothinl the Ju droppe This The pl, potenti iiient ti a merc The and wil debt of Mr. defend: Lek i, laical I' the Sou clothin; and sea were r sent, M rity fot tare w then th mands jeetioni his san nion of The Sr] were o liable. ■oIM
