(Front Taylor and Hease)'s London Magazine for the pre- %rut Nll.utit When one reads and bears of the unparalleled improvements made in the whole construe:ion of Edin burgh, during the last twenty years of the eigbtrerth century, one would think it impossilole that there tumid he any improvement in the first twenty years of the nineteenth; just as in the world at large, we can not imagine what the.-e is at this time to be improved, discovered, or invented ; and yet we have only to coin p.re two periods, to be abundantly satisfied, that nei ther the world, nor bas st.aol, or will stand still. What changes in manner's, even after their total new east in the twenty preceeding years!—what extension of intercourse ! he. e, for example, twenty years ago, it war much more ra:e to meet English company, than it is now to meet French ; in coninson lite, you hardly ever wet an Engli-haw, re -i • • • • Twenty years ago, cards were unknown, at leafikan touched, among the middle classes of Edinburg h, at Christmas, n hen a game at Catch-the-Ten was tolerated, more for the opportunity which it afforded of deprecating the " Deevil's pictured books." than for say amusement derivable from it. Now, the tradesmen's wives have whist and 100 tables all the year round ; and Catch-the-Ten is the nightly resource of retired coal skippers, and independent fish women. Twenty years ago, there were only three newspapers published in Edinburgh, in the height of war. hey were read only by the upper ranks; and news descend ed to the rabble through the old medium of servants, barbers, and journeymen. There are, now nine news papers, in a time of settled peace ; they are read by all ranks and ages, and important public information often ascends from the servant to the lord, and from the apprentice to the master. Twenty years ago, there was only one eighteen. penny magazine, of which you hardly ever heard, and ovloicli\lor middle ranks, and the ladies of all ranks, never saw, except, perhaps, in the booksellers win dows. There are, now, at least a dozen monthly and quarterly publication., with the contents of one or • more of which von find almost the whole population acquainted ; and their effect on the tone of conversa tion is sufficiently visible. It would he amusing to carry this comparison of periods skilfully into other branches of life and man ners; but I have neither patience nor ability for it. I would, will, much pleasure, describe the physical changes on the face of Edinburgh, which seem to interest you so much ; hut it is really impossible;— for the last five or six years, the average nu ber of houses built yearly is eight hundred ; end since I last saw Eqinburgh, there have beets buit at least ten new churches, some of them perfect eathealrals.

(mom ITALY, IT LADY DIODOAD4 Ages of tyranny were not calculated to instil into the Piedmontese very just notions of political liberty ; but their quick natural intelligence soon lent itself to the principles and theories of their comparative rege neration. All the youth and many of the ablest law yers and men of science embraced the new order of things with enthusiasm; and, gradually learning Su consider it as a probationary step to a more perfect system, they were fast advancing in the career of con stitutional liberty, when the sudden elevation of Bo naparte to the Imperial throne, though it did net stifle their love of freedom, damped their hopes, anti delayed the attainment of their object. They had no numerical force to oppose to systems, backed by the armies which had conquered Europe, and acceded to by the sovereigns of Russia, Prussia, Austria, and of Rome. The consecrated of Pope Pius VII., the son-in-law of Francis 1., the model of Alexander, and the master of the fate of Frederick would have been vainly resisted by the little republic of Piedmont. Itanaparte, as Emperor, took the same pains to ton ciliate, as he had done when a republican general.— The most eminent Piedmontese continued in office.— Their governor, the Prince Borghese, was a nati%i; Italian prince, whose fortune would have pnrchaeett the fee simple of a dozen German stadholarre. He was young, and handsome, and brother-in-law to the Emperor. This prince was ordered to preserve in his court all the free forms established in the saloons of the republic. All educated persons were admitted to the vice-regal court, without distinction; and no re straint was imposed . upon the guests, but that which obliged husbands to accompany their wires. The sales of national property were confirmed, nut a con vent was restored, and the stiletto was still probitalted, as in the time of the Republic. In Is I 5 France fell, and Europe returned to its anci ent stsssielle. Kings crept from their hiding-places, and toe isistitites of the fifteenth century gradually re! _:tined their power and influence. His Majesty of Jerusalem and Cyprus, after a retreat of fifteen years in his Island or Sardinia, returned from his govern ment of the anchovies, accompanied by an odd 1.-h, (his gr.oil vizier, Count Cerutti,) his priest, his !ill donna, his court, and a little army of tin soldiers, which he had daily exercised in the Queen's dressing sooni. Ile entered from his good city of Turin, ha hited in the same costume, with tbe same peruke, and the same prejudices, in which he hal left it. Still the people saw in him, notwithstanding his legitimate wig and appalling coat, the pledge of that liberty which the Holy Allies had promised Europe, when the Imperial Ogre should he put down. All the relics of ancient fendality, who had lain perigee io the old eolith,* of the Alps, in the defiles of the Pas de Suv, sir the valleys of Savoy, now hobbled forth, habited in dresses not snow since the revolution, and with prin ciples as antiquated as themselves. The King, on be holding himself once more in the gallery of his pu bs:. zo reek, surrounded hr the same figures, faces, and dresses, as when, in less happy times, he had last seems it, tumid not refrain from expressing his jot. that ,s , ,t •in g. teas elteaged, that he had found every 01:94 44 he left it. It was in vain that the old professor , . of ;Liman law, in their silken rlxtrisrev, the old ma zistrates in their ermined robes, the old nobles in bags .snit swords, and the old ecclesiastics once more in gran I pontificals, stunned him with their cries uf " Prostrate arisalitd;—ji ocktit4,—i froopo girl fuliv,—i quiitliri snit resstreeti :" it was long before lee eould be made ti comorehend what they meant ; or believe that a single in n ovation had been made in the laws of the descendant of Wittikind the Great. At length, however, con vinced by reiterated details that there was no feudality, stn corvee, no gabelle, no convents, no stilettos, and no asylums ; that nobles were obliged to pay their debts, and were not obliged to ask permission to go to Milan ; and that nothing remained of the ancieti: nstituti (((( s, but an heavy taxation, a military con scription, and a trammeled press—he invoked every Saint in the Calendar to witness his astonishment anti indignation ; and called upon " his bosom's counsellor, Iris better self," Cerutti, to know what was to be done, how the fragments of the ancient structure were to be collected, how put together, and by whom. Ceru:..i laughed at the royal consternation ; and told the King that for about sixpence of Piedmontese money, he wonld build up the ancient government di Gel marotro. The sixpence advanced, the Minister hobbled off, and in less than an hour returned with a court calendar. oc rest-book for the year 1790. " There, Sire," said he, "is your government ready made. Replace all the persons you find here, who are still living, and fill no the vacancies; and thrn for the price of this book, found on a stall near yuur Majest y '. palace, yisa have your governmentre•es:ablished without trouble." 'floe King was enchanted ; the active ministry of th previous regitne were immediately banished; and in a few slays tittle remained of the former system, lint the abases which it suited the new order of things to retain. The co..vents were restored ; the streets fillel with Monks. processions, and soldiers ; churches and forts, shrines and garrisons, rose in every quarter ; the Code Napoleon was Lit aside ; the line of distinc tion between the nobi:ity and the people was more strongly drawn than (seer ; the (}-seen again let the opera-boxes are wiling to the due number of quarter lugs; and the King declared in the midst of a f!til court, upon being toll that the King of Bavaria wog &liberal, and that the King of Presets had prornisei his people a constitution, "foto/0/ton* verstmente To crown his felicity, England, false to her promises, betrayed Genoa into his hands—Genoa, the object of Isis hatred, his rivalry, and his ambition; when, lo in the midst of his triumphs,it was discovered that th old machine, in spite of its new varnisb, paint, and gilding, could not be movie to move. The springs ha.l grown rusty, the wheels were clogged, its principle o: usolion fo gotten; and in one weed, the aispenn; eons itution was not worth a groat.
