MR. CURRAN'S LEITER. " Loromat, Aucurso SI, 1814. " I write again, because I judge from myself, at.d how kindly I felt your last, that you would like to hear from me. Perhaps the nut being able to abstain Irons wilting to the ablest, it the only certain proof that distance and mummy artsruipatible ; how,. ver, the complierent is not great when you now that I have dung myself uroo you as a correspondent wily at those iti tervals when I could not bear my uvro company. " The thermometer has been higher here lately than at any fop nor time. Close dirty streets, stewing playhouses, and a human have, perhaps, naturally enough completed the extronic ale preoion of my spirits, and made toe tit for nothing. l endeavour to dissipate by wasting myself noon spectacles, but it won't do. " I his day i thought to look for something - gay in the cata combs. It seems all Paris stand, upon a vaulted quintal, out of which the some to build it has been taken, and it is not very rare to see an entire house sink down to its original home and disap pear. Part of his excavation has been filled op as a residence In remainder to the grave. We went down, I think, 79 steps, and traversed more than half a mile by torch-light, or rather taper light, and we beheld more than 2,30ea1r00 fragments of what once was life. They amount to four time:utile present populso tine of Paris. The bones were very carefully built up, and at intervals were studded with projecting reW4 of skulls, with mot tos occasionally written in Latin or French. It was o sort of ca ravan, mostly women. One of diem asked me to ttanslate.c.ne of those ; was, I think, et in nihilism rreirtitur quad a nihilo frit. " I oohed whether it gave her a sentiment ot grief, or fear, or hope ? the asked me what room I could see for hope in uparcel ot empty skulls? " For that Madame, Madame, and because you e tilled knew they cannot blled tf ur tear, for all subject of either it. va,t." Slit replied," Ow; rtropendapt c'eit jclis:."-1 could nu: bttess to what she applied the epithet, so 1 raised the taper to her race, which 1 had not looked at before, and had it been any thing hut the mil ror of death, I should have thought she had inked iuco it, ar.d - applied the one reflection to the other; so perfectly unimpressed was her cettatenance. It did no: raise her in my mini, though she was not ill-looking; and when I met her above ground after our resurrection, she appeared fit enough for the drawing: nirms of the world. thnugh not for the under cellar. I don't remember ever to have had toy mind compressed into so narrow a space—so many humna beiug o so many actors, so many sufferers, so various in rank, so equalized in the grave. When stared at the congregation, 1 could not distinguish what head had raved, er reaomed, or hoped, or burned. I looked tor thought, I looked for clinmks, I asked whither is all gone? Did violent never flow from your lips, nor affectation hang upon them? .lad it both, or either, which sea‘ the most exalting—which the inert faecinating ? All 'llene—they left rue to answer for them, so shall the fairest Lace appear."—l was full of the subject. " In the evening, I went' to distract at the Comedy of the Alionio'rrepe, the best of Moliere. The stem affection of Ake*, and the heartless coquetry of Criiisent, were excel lently done. It is not only Tragedy that weeps—Gdetha was still an incubus upon me. I saw the moral of the Piece went far beyond the stage—it only began there. Every good play ought to be just, in its - particulastfable. It ought also to be useful to have a general analogy far more extensive, and equally exact. eliceste is !mein the abstract—Celimote is the object of his wish; whatever 'tint may be, .she smiles, and caresses, and promises—he thinks he feeds the blood ih her heart, for he wit. takes the pulse of hieown for that of hers—he end:states the phan tom, or thinks he does siolut is betrayed, and opens*, eyes upon the desert ; at the moment he does not recollect Ifni the loss to him is little, Nis only the loss of himself—to her it is nothing--for it is made up in the next Consetiptionoand, at all events, whether sick or wounded, the march of men's wartare is never suspended, the moving infirmary never halts, and every day brings him a day nearer ato barrier: tflifer, the entraucc to the Catacombs. • • "'ibis sad !wiled naturally turns me to another that nutmeat, suspect that my contempt of this world is not quite sinctereoal mean the poor extravaeared Irish that 1 meet here ; I meet their ghosts as I pass, and review them, as Eneas did, yeas aktulit afro die, et fancy( mersit aced"; how can I affect to despise a scene where my heart bleeds for every sufferer? I wish to disperse my feelings as a citizen of the world, and break my own monopoly of them, but they aff come back to our unhappy country; one of the nom happy touches of the Prince of sensitive Poets, is where he tinges the wanderings of DiJo with patriotism— ,' --.--- &ape longum incoraitate vldettiar " ire viam, et Tyrios deserts quarere terra. By-the-bye.it does some credit is the character of humanity, that we sometimes exchange the sufferings ot egotism fur a nobler sympathy, and lenient over others, instead of keeping all our tears for ourselves. What exquisite nectar most they be to those Over whom the; are shed? Nor perhaps shoold the assurance that they do not suffer alone be always withheld, beeaoseit may net be al. ways true, because, for the purpose of tonsolation, it is enough, it it be believed, whether true of not. If the paymein is complete, is it worth while to enquire whether the cola be counterfeit or not t But, with respect to our poorezilese the sympathy breams sincere as well as ardent. I had hopes thatEngbed might lot then back. The season and the power of mischief is long pant; the number is almost too small to do credit to the nutty that casts& look upon them—hut they are destined to give their last recoilless don of the green' fields they are never to behold on a foreign death-bed s and to lase tbo sad delight of fancied visits to them lu a distant grave. Yet, is not even that exile better than the des tiny an outlaw at home ? Yet, to that are we now reduced. You catwot believe the transition from sympathy, to detestation, which eve have excited in England—an hatred of our barharism: a contempt of our strength, which has acted only upon and against ourselves. 1 see only one, way of,gettiug out. It Irniend had the modesty and &Nunes to dtsclaim all that had been done and said in her name, perhaps it might have some effect in bring ing' back our friends and disarming our enemies. I think the peer pie to sense and property, who were really scared away, ought to present a petition, visored ouly by then own class. la ought to disavow all that could trulr be denied, it ought to 'impeach no one. I don't myself impute guilt of inturtion to those who even have staithed the hopes and ckaracter of Ireland tothe heart, innocence ought to plead for mistake. Besides, there should be sue tow of crianinstisre, no air of King's evidence. When i leak back on vekst the Board ha* done, my shame and surprine are still increased. They met fur petition, they were too' busy for that, but they bad time "fur every thing elle; they became a Coast of the most formidable attainder, arraignment - without Make, soil corwietion without proof, sentence agahnt diameter and person, the victim proclaimed an outlaw, the hnecuttva Magistrate tried and stigmatised.

They deified Dr. Milner for the very reason why they shossiel have left him where he was --namely, because he was deserted by the English Catholics. In their persecution of Lalor aud Caulfield, they openly attacked whatever right of election remained. They attacked their most tried friends in Parliament—Canning not au boom man—Giat tau a fool—Castlesingh a knave--Plunket a deserter. They abused the English Catholics, under whose long sad tried cha racter of property and allegiance our cause might have found shel ter. They employ Lord Donoughntore and Mr; Grum, and in auk Lien s both-eundthae is a way marking their otter ignorance at Pam lianu. , atary proctudiags, ae well as personal decorum. — They petition the legislature ; and, while they are on their knees hr civil simpacation, they n:ix with don prayer the menaces of Goniniere , at war.—A fine time, no doubt, for non annumptiuo• conibisat ems ! When the same was tried before we were foetid so ;equal to resist the adverse weight of British Capital defensively And viudicuvely employed against us; the consumer here was sacrificed to the avarice, and the poor labouring Artists to the arrogance of an anfeeling Master Manufacturer. I remember . • soyielt, when a coat cost three times its value, and that at thy w o rst tank and materials. No man can see, without paip, the <listen:tar under which our manufactures are held; but nothing that does not go to the root of the evil, our want ot capital, will ever relieve us ; and nothing, but the slow toleration of a foster ing Legislature, removing cruel and impuhtic restnitute, can have the least tendency to our benefit. But, provided eve could act up the throats of the Liberty, we were perfectly regardless of their interest. Our lower orders, COD help then ! How easily . can every Quack deceive anal; Their misery might be softeued, by taking a reasonable rent tor their farms, by eatiimg them of tithes —these sicrifices, perhaps" can scarcely be hoped from Priests and Landlords;, our,Clergy have been up in arms against any relict, or even temporary euceuragement, to the reelaimer, how ever, to their own ultimate benefit. Our Peasantry must, there fore, for ever be a mere drag; whatever the I.antitord chooses to ( l emm a tot hi s In.& meat beindeltal trade tlaTeralbe a bid- &rapine hint, act to extinguish the stmuttpoly btonr Minden. —But what sueasore did oar Reformers propose with any such design ? Certainly nom. •Don't mistake me—l do not mean that any thing, save the Petition, should have been mentioned arthat Board , -but I mean that their silence on the real causes and remedies : of eur sufferings thews them grossly ignorant or regardieks of them. Su far as they allotted at all to these sub jects, the tendency was merely, to inflame—to make our lower drift•rs tutbulent and turimix, and :so far expose them as unfit as undescr% it:g of mild or rational iteutment ; lint these notables thought they were raising theins/hes by the apery of legislation, by appealing to the mob on points et law and cunstittit on. They replied in their meetings to the speeches in Parliament ; and, finally, (and I ace no apology that can he made fur it,) they em broil the country still more by forcing upon it points exclusively religious, and .with whith the Laity should nut have presumed to meddle. First, they complain that the great mass of the people (and that most truly) are kept in a degree of ignorance unknown in any other region of the earth. And next, they call upon these honorary theologians, upon this very barbarized mass to decide upon the Veto as a most profound point of clerical dif- ficulty. " With rospect to the Clergy themselves, a most respectable order, this has been peculiarly unfeeling—for reasons in which,. I remember, you agreed. It has involved them in cruel and un just suspicion on all sides, lessening their credit with the high,assl their authority with the humble. And see the fruits of all this! no Member of either [louse would venture to stir our question, and, instead of an extension of civil rights, we get the insur rection Act passed, without oppositiOn, and, enabling Govern ment, by a single dash of the pen, to put Ireland in a state such as the world never saw. An our affectation was for our beloved Prelates and our dear Poor Orders ; and upon these, peculiarly, have we ;tilled down these lorrors. A man of property may roll home drunk - in hie chariot, and laugh at the curfew ; but what shelter has the peer man to 'save him from such a pitiless storm. But the gangrene sinks still deeper--the spirit of the Government springs directly front that of the law. Now, this last act can be justihed on no human ground, except that the na tion is peopled by monsters that must be ruled like beasts. See here the deplorable stateof our poorer people. Goat help them! they are always ultimately the sufferers--they are the cards with which gambling adventurers play; they never fail to be soiled during the game, and after it to be flung into the fire. No mat ter what abuse may be committed in the exercise of Such a.i Act. What appeal can we make ? what a number of men have we among us, who will look to fortune and power by shaipening its edge ?—to what a frightful union between the Judicial and Exe cutive must it lead i au union peculiarly formidable in a Pro., viuce, and, at a time when sayings of our Courts, whether truly' or falsely, are circulated, statine that our people are so ferociated that civil justice will no longer do? No doubt the public mind has beeu not a little disturbed. And what else could be expected Irons the perpetual diens to irritate ? But I should never hare done if I thought to have exhausted this killing subject. I shall' fur the present only gild a weal. England must ku6w that war, and leery soon, is possible; that her darling France, by nature her enemy, an d the Peninsula, and the Continent toe, may join with America in deltuding their maritime rights against her ma ritime claims. It would be no new alliauce. If she has common sense, she must. see that justice and prudence would recommend to her to make the strait waistcoat the common dress of Ireland for ever. But such an hope would surely be much ripened, If we made her understand that what has been done and said of late is not to be attributed to the honest or thinking class of our people—that we have not the remotest idea of severing the con nexion or attacking her religion. Of this, perhaps, more hereafter. 1 " I continue to reel an increasing dislike of every thing here. I probably shan't remain long. 1 have left some things in Ire land uuarr.inged that I must settle, however I may dispose of my-. self after. England can't arrest me tong. I have never found any good in watering-places. My malady, a constitutiongl de jection, accumulated by a life of no little disaster , c an hope for .no remedy in water or lu wine. In general, the benefit of those . places is attributed to the attendant temperance; but a person little given to excess any where has not much to add that way ; and as to evening parties, in a crowd of strangers, I never liked 'Wiens, nor was fit for them ; I have therefore given my cooties, sire the 'Theatres ; Ipreferthem to English, notwithstanding the difficulty of a foreign language. I prefer the stile of their stage to ours. Ours always appeared to me fiat and dull, with never more than one or two of tolerable merit. On the contrary, here you never find attar very bad. A comic nation is perpetually sending young aspirants to Paris, where, of course, there can be DO dearta. In England you must put up with what you can get. No doubt, it Is hard to hied any exact principles of acting. It is, in a great degree arbitrary and accidental. bull uature will ID sea certain boundaries. in France there may be bombast and 1 tinsel; and the eternal monotony of amour in their plays is liable 1 to objectifies lying much deeper than the mere criticism of the stage; it goes vitally to the morals and manner. of the people; it goes to make the woman a bad sort of man, and the man a bad sort of woman; it goes to take away the solid basis of every vir tue of either sex ;it leaves the men little to wish—to the women little to bestow. It annihilates the fine spirit of attachment. — What can he feel for confidence given en a principle of good breeding ? To faecinate, there must be no doubt of its being ex clusive. "When I am -writing - my bad verses, I would spurn the Muse if I suspeeted her of whispering the sense idea' to twenty other poetasters. In the sante principle, if you have only a sixty-fourth of a ticket in the lottery of regard, the prize is, in fact, a blank. How can you join in triumph with sixty-three other fortunate' adventurers ? Still these exhibitions amuse. The acting is flip I pant and graceful, and the music sometimes excellent. The Ear lish, who have no national music, affect to despise french. It le sometimes, perhaps, tinsellnia—hut 1 own, it irequensly catches niy tansy, and even my heart. " But too much of these topics. I am net sorry for having come hither when I did. Perhaps you see society better when cut into piece-meal—as in anatomy, every thing is laid bare to the student. Perhaps It is seen to great disadvantage. The best le son that nun can learn is toleration, and traveling ought to be the best school. There are many points in which this people must be allowed praise—lively, cheerful, a constitutional philosophy, disposing them to be always satisfied. I wish as to Government they could be brought to an anchor. Whether that is to happen, 1 ' Who can . tell ? Nothing can be mere divided than the general sentiment. The higher military men have got safe Into harbour, l iliitt midi perhaps for quiet. All under them must be discos. easted—loorarrears due. They cannot employ them abroad for want of money, and, when the devil is raised, and can't be kept in work, we know the story. The favour to Bonaparte is the more singular, because, allowing for his extraordinary energy, I doubt if he had a single great quality. It was clear he was no .Itatesinao ; force alone was sufficient for all be did. Men here cif the best authority pronounce him a man of uncommon energy in action ; but of no talent for retreat. The question is of more I "ceriosity than moment; if otherwise, it might not be ea s y to , I `prove what credit to give to these criticisms. , " At last we have got our passports, and ordered a carriage . for . tp-morrow. We shall go by Dieppe—neither my fellow' traveller nor myself in the best health or spirits. I have a great kindness for him, though no human beings can be more diffe rent. I don't thi nk diversity is incompatible with friendship sr affection; but strong contrariety, I fear, is. How different are they from the volatility of France—as well as from the fond, ar dent, Indiscreet vehemence of our poor people! Certainly it it not mere interest that forms the weight to the clock, though the setter want of any regiating power makes it a sad time-piece; but I consider it now as nearly a wedearanst eat, and the 'astir. re cdon Act little other than a monumental inscription." " LONDON, TOIDDAY. " A new renue.—After a day spent at Dieppe, we sailed, and after forty hours landed at Brighton. I don't like the state of my health. If it was merely seatain, tinder sailing orders for the undiscovered country, I should not quarrel with the passport. There is nothing gloomy in my religious impressions, though 1 trust they are not shallow. I might have been better.-1 know :Aso that others have been as blameable--and I have rather a -cheerful reliance upon mercy than au abject fear of justice; or, were it otherwise, I have a much greater fear of suffering than of death. " I had almost made tipsily mind to bestow a citizen to France, aryl 1 ant anortilled at hudiug any drag upon the intention; yet a drag there is. I have no doubt that revolution has thrown that county a century back. Yet she has quilities that might have ;hoped a better destiny. It has bein suggested to nit that winter In Paris might answer better. " I just now .(Wednesday) return from a long conversation with the truly Royal Personage who saves you the postage of this. A few days muss, I now think, take me across. I think of meeting some persons at Cheltenham.
