It is impossibly to say which was most usnimbly prominent is this deliqbtrui circle, parental stirrsion or filial duty. Tsking my course to thr Peek through Moahjae•squate I was struck with the Mottoes e;ititeeter of ibis place. Ii is e•rtaietly 9 parallelogram rather thee a square. and .. wileht, with more propriety, bit called a place, after the wanner of Devoashire•place, Portland-place, kc. which latter unquestionably, for the suited advantages of conifer' sad cfinvenieoce,not leaving oat the eclat of splendoer, contains a •cite of buildings surpassing *II other in theworld,assesideares for families of distinc tion. Bat 'Lesvos', in question, as it is called, arose eel of the fortunes of Mowrsuurtionsz, which po. skins or Beim strikes every oao who sees It wit► wea rier. since it looks spom no boom in particular, nor, orcordisig to military, and Moutons fashionable phraseology, does it dress wit► any on. It was thereof' nick-named by tho wit who associated wit► its owner, Mrs. MONTAG us, of bliss.slocking memory and sweep-chimney charity, Moatn[•erkcm•koese.— On approaching to the Park no jostliog for instancy was Assessable. The well.drrss•d pedestrian belles had feared to quit their sheltered abodes, as the sworniug loafed, •od the clouds thrsaleaed rain. 1 night say with Dummy— " ---- My eyes me object met.

Equestrians were bet thinly scattered in the rides; and sorry beggies acid spritely gigs made the greatest figure towards a cavalcade. The scorching month of August baidly over presented a &slier scene es this hitherto fashion able and vivacious resort. The old Baronet of Gros venor-stieet, ground young, praticed through the gate on his short.taited pelfrey, jest as I was reflect ing whether an object of notice wee likely to prevent itself to the iespiisitive e:,e of the Rambler.— 'lie figure of this Knight, this prows Cavalier, mould undoubtedly rival SOS* of DIGHTON's best Calicalefell• If ST.

Your blthasty performs as ever with grace and yew, bat if I must speak beefy, the Royal toe is too leech tented oast." Lord S-- at this instant made Ids half gothic, hell modern appearance in Rotten. }ow, upon his Bucephalsur, or rather his Rosinanle. To describe the form and sit of his Lordship's sur. tout. with all its bearings, would set be very easy, nor eery becoming, bet for the fringe horizontally placed behind from bottom to buttes, it mere to be wished that it bad been long enough to cover that part which is least apt to be shown, aid less de fined to beeves of the human structure. I eateeded my obsertatioes to Kensington Gar ;lens, that scene of frequent mischief end the Mosel, where, also, not finding food for the mind in a state of inquisitiveness, for the same cause bad elilbeld be been alone from this enchanted spot ; I readily yielded to the invitation of emending my walk with e recognized friend to an humble hut enviable retreat, u mile or mo re on the (Mood Road.

JAMES MONROF.." WUIT M .—lle si tbe Pt'Wit Ofim. THE STATESAI AN. LONDON: MONDAY. MAT 31, 1819. Every d.y brings fresh and serious reflection to the mind of the Patriot. The condition of the country is critical. The g►eet, the noncoms, the intermediate body of the People, the Winos, have certainly the weight, the strength, to carry the object of Reform to that wholesome, that beeeficial extent, which would satisfy the mind+ of the nisch more nemeroes body—rut Prone; whets all might be well. Every man being satisfied that his political rights a►e secured to him, he would freely, not mercenarily, !mare. his life at the cell of his c•un. try. There would be no °cession for a Staodieg Amy which eats op the routings and relit of trade, and converts the citizen into the slave. No nation, with a just, honest, and paternal Govern. mint, can he in danger of foes from within or with. uot, for it would be the Interest as well as the kali nation of every man living under it, to bawd his life, rather than lose what he would posies. Under a better system of rule, with a practical economy le the several institutions of the Government, vs might say or sing— " J oy glnds Ihe settling and, slissdaset trips Thr mph all the town", the elite., sod She plains; All that we i-h e hale—how well we fare! he Code prefer.

No ! it is impossible; the hearts of the People of Great Britain hare been afflicted with ssffe►ings from the abuses of th• Government, and their eyes are tamed towards those who hays tho means of relieving them : nor will their bands he cordially and woefully employed till the necessary allesiation of their cala mities is offered them. It iv carious to hear the note langoage repeated from day to day of the danger of paralysing the energies of the Bank by insisting on Cash Payments: of injeting the interests of the coentry gentlemen, the farmer, mod the labourer, by constraining the Bank to 'badge the went of their accommodation to the banker, merchant, &c. with an endless phrase. clog, of the eame hied. In short, the Bank wspit to 'possess a disc - Mimicry poser to do what it-pleases with the People In the war of poper-lesolion. What, if Lord LIVIRPOOL did say that . the Musk had long stood at the heed of the cirrelatiew of the coon try ; it is not denied to be tree, sbd 44 pity It is 'tie troe"—Lord GortevlLLE has sib, laid, the system of the Bank is a paper beebb/4„” that is true also; sod grievously pitiable is it that it is Wm. Yesterday we received the Paris Papers of Thus day. In the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday ■ ,greet number of Petitions were reported. One from Limoges prayed for the carrying into lien the laws sesinst suicide. The Reporter observed, that there was no existing law relative to suicide. The Petitioner mast, therefore, have alleded to the encl. eot laws on the subject ; but before they be revived it would be well to enquire whether they would be capable of presenting or restraining the evil ; wire. tiler the measures that have been invented for that purpose have not the effect of injuring u precious sen sibility ; of diminishing the respect due to the instil ' mate remains of a human being, end of visiting en the innocent the penishmeat designed for a criminal whom we cannot reach. These powerful considera tions, the Reporter, hare no doubt contributed to produce the silence of our Penal Code on this topic. Coont de FLOIRAC aid the madness of suicide was making the greatest ravages in France.-- 'lts one single town the Journals announced the commission of four :suicides in one day. Some years since the number of suicides in the City of Paris during five months, esceeded 300. In another de partment it was computed that daring one year more than one a day bad occurred. Legislation was in. sufficient to arrest this disorder ; Religion only could give that costar* which enabled wen to support mis fortunes othersi.e intolerably. lie moved that the Petition be referred to the alitsisser of J u stine. U. DI. Melt:maxi censideled the realists of the previous speaker as the more important from being blooded en fact,. The mania of suicide was one of the greatest emerges that afflicted thl country. — Every day revealed a wee disaster ; every day drew forth the sorrows of the man of virtue, by the reci tal of one of those crimes which are equally lamented by relition and society. On being pet to the vote, the Petition was got rid of by passing on to the Order of the llsy. A Petition in she name of two bemired French. men, creditors of the Spanish Government, prayed for the intervention of the Chamber to obtain the payment of their debts. M. BIGIION moved that this claim should be referred to the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, which proposal was adopted by the Chamber. Another from the Widows and Heirs of several Authors, praying for the revocation of the law which limits to ten years after the death of the authors or compere's, the copyright of their heirs, was referred to the Minister of the Interior. The ditension of the nedget woo then resented. M. of SALMI spoke In f of the Projet of the Commission. M. Gummi defended Ihe system of colonizatine, and comparing Femme, as she is, with what she was when she had rich and powerful colonies, was asto nished that say blame should attend the attempts of th. G went to restore this source of prosperity. M. CONNIT D' IPCOURT contended lhat beih ports of the Budget should be discussedat the same How meld the expeaces be kited, if the resources are ankisown ? How vete for the first without knowing any thing of the second ? The decision on the grit necessarily determined the second. Some indiscreet Petitions, said he, and there are 'bondage, of this sort, have requested us to assign • salary to the De. p•ties; others hose protested against the sitting of Public Functionaries in the Chamber. These too propositions were. one inconvenient, the other ow. constitetionsi. Nevertheless, a proposition may be wade very Numerable to the lanciiooaries who sit in this Assesby : it is, that beiot culled to a..to bete with us, they should with us partite the be e pe r of foregoing any salary dosing the Session. The era. tor went on to justify the eapencies intoned by keep. ing the Swiss troops. end by the missions throsgh Franey to propsgete the Gospel. M. DfLESIZIT preposed three amendments. one of whkb was, In gram, for 1819. a soot of 1400,000 franca to the Legion of Honor:. The debate was adjourned. PARIS, MAT 2G —The King this day presided at a Council of ',Unite's. Letters from Brit, state that the inhabitants of that town are 'boat to build • unnnoment to the memory of Marshal Brune. their illustrious townmen. They have also addressed a letter of condolence to his widow. =TRACT 07 A LETTER !lON Y.%Rts, HAT 27.

It is a creel mockery to talk of a constitutional Government sod a national Representatioo, when the caprice of j despotism is 'avoided by Ilse natural guardians of the liberties o(tbe People • when laws openly violating the Charter'are propos ed and passed as • mere lea. porasy suspension of the undoubted rights of the People, and then endeavoured to be perpetusted, l even when lb. circomstances which gave With in the suspension bass been proved false, r.r ceased to ealst.
