The unprecedented success which the original work has obtained in France (no less than seven editions, consisting of thirty thousand copies, having been sold off in less than ten months), is a sufficient proof of the interest which it has excited, as well as of its extra ordinary merits as an historical composition. From the Author's situation about the person of Napoleon, during this memorable campaign, he has been enabled to give a variety of details respect ing that extraordinary personage, his Generals, &c. &c. which are in a great measure new to the public, and which impart a charm I to his work of irresistible attraction.

A few copies are printed on vellum paper, the price of which is double that of the common paper. The History of the French is a remarkable and novel work. It is the best, or rather the only, picture, which has been drawn, of ' the development of civilization in France, and of the progressive improvement of that nation--always et work beneath the forms of events and of governments, and amidst striking, as well as silent, changes. This, indeed, is the distinguishing and peculiar merit sif the work. M. Sismondi unfolds, with the rarest sagacity, the truths that lie concealed beneath the facts of history—the general state of society, and the moral and physical condition of the people. In the course of the narrative the historian pauses_sums up and ' examines, and then proceeds to unfold and describe, with equal truth and force, the fresh links that have bound together the we- , sinus classes of citizens—the ideas slowly fermenting in the public mind—the changing state of opinion —the transformation, in short, that society has undergone, equally unnoticed both by itself and its masters.

The style is animated and uniform ; and this attempt, so new in France, At a history of the middle ages, has been crowned with the most brilliant success.

At this critical season, when Children are teething, and suffer more pain than at any time of the year, very few escaping convulsions, it Is earnestly recommended to every mother and nurse who have young children not to be without the American Soothing Syrup in the nursery, as it gives immediate relief. Mrs. Johnson, feeling for the poor at a time like this, when so many are out of employ, and wishing to relieve those little sufferers, has given them a real Christmas Box, by extending her charity one hour longer ; that is to say from 9 to 11 every Tuesday and Saturday mornings until next March (and then as usual front 9 till 10) while the days are so very short, as hundreds who live at a great distance cannot get their children to her house in time; they must bring a letter from a respectable housekeeper that they are real objects of chatity. Mrs. Johnson hopes, at the same time, so great a charity will not be abused, as it is entirely out of her own private purse ; and trusts that persons who can afford to purchase the Syrup will not injure the poor by obtaining what is intended for their relic: This inestimable medicine to be had wholesale and retail as above, and of the principal venders in town and country, at 2s. 9d. per bottle.

We gave, yesterday, a sketch of the proesetlings of the Catholic Association on Saturday, from the Dublin Even in; Post. The following are further particulars from the Irish Papers THE ETOILE. Mr. CONWAY' was appointed Secretary, and read the minutes of thelast day's proceedings. He would say a few words with regard to one motion which appeared on the minutes—that which he had moved on this day week, regarding the taking in by this body of the Etoife, end which was unanimously carried. He was happy that he had gone so, although his friend Mr. O'Connell, who had '-om notice of the motion he referred to, was not in the room on 4 was brought forward. ' , luta, assayed the meeting, that it was profeseireal , and not any desire to shrink from what he eon. it and useful duty, that prevented him (attend , his notice respecting the Etcik oewspaper ; his 'motion as moved by Mr. Conway. and he (Mr. aible convinced of the propriety of the meaame, .ne paper, as a certain source of correct and honest respecting Irish Catholic affairs. Those publica , called " the heat 'public instructors," or London newspapers, were reculiarly remarkable for gross ignorance of Irish affairs; and not content with mere negative ignorance, where they have the knowledge, they falsify facts, m order to the more perfect gratification of their innlignant hostility towards Ireland. If those public instructors were to be believed, every portion of the Govern. ment of this country was zealously active in promoting the interest ofltlie people, end the peasantry as actively engaged in opp os i ng their own welfare; they would fain induce their readers to believe, that Ireland was inhabited by a people who entertained of religion the most degrading notions, and of each other the most contempti ble opinion. It must be evident to those who read the London papers, that, of all rivalsbips, tbat which they pursue matt intensely is the endeavour to miseepresent Ireland. Nor does this feeling exist without interested motives, neither is it peculiar to the vile Courier, the Times, and fiforning Chronicle, bat extends to the most obscure and worst conducted Journals, and, amongst the number, the Morning tlerald ; but, fortunately, Irishmen were enabled, through the French press, to undeceive Europe, to vindi cate their principles, and defend their country against the mercen ary calumnies of London Journalists ; and he rejoiced that a pe riod was likely to arrive when the boasting pride, and national va nity—for (said Mr. O'Connell) the English are the most vain-glo• rious people in the world—will he kept in check by the publication of truth, and the exposure of injustice. The public edifiers had maligned him (Mr. O'Connell) by asserting that it was his object and wish to obtain foreign influence over the affairs of Ireland ; hut he could assure them there was nothing in life to which lie had a greater antipathy than to foreign influence in the destinies of Ire land. He (lid not care what might be the name of that foreign in fluence. (Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") The Irish might, in deed, well dispense with it, for they never could forget that it was owing to such influence that their country, which Providence had marked with the features of an independent nation, was reduced to a pitiful, impoverished province. (Applause.) THE NETHERLANDS. Mr. O'Cowiert.r. rose to propose a Resolution grounded on his notice for the appointment of a Committee of seven, to prepare a correct statement of the cause and persecution of the Netherlands Catholics by their King. The Learned Gentleman said that he had prefaced the notice of his motion with some observations expla natory of his motives tar bringing it forward. That any interfer ence on the part of the Association with the subjects of g foreign nation, was an objection which he admitted lay upon the surface, and that every one saw at once; for, in truth, the Irish people, or ASsociation, had sufficient g rievances to occupy their attention without travelling out of the ir own country ; but in this case the neutrality of the Irish people will avail them nothing ; on the con trary, they are forced into action as the Netherland occurrences are cited to the detriment ofireised, and his (Mr. O'Connell's) motives for interfering on this subject were basely distorted by th e London Press, and particularly in the Times and Moving Chroottehee in Erch Jewels, the p!ople of the Netherlands were 'pretreat of • t of loyal submission to their King's decrees, because they are holica, and their reference to the Pope is adduced as an argu ' went against the emancipation of the Catholics of Ireland, but who, it is not alleged, have conducted themselves improperly. ,Now his (Mr. O'Connell's) motive in bringing forward the motion, Ihu to show that the Netherlands Catholics are suffering the most wanton and cruel persecution, at the instance of their King ; while, on the other band, they exhibit the most exemplary loyalty, with the most firm and unbending devotion and fidelity to their religion. Mr. O'Connell concluded by moving for the appointment of the Committee to draw up a correct statement of the occurrences in the Netherlands. After a conversation, in which Mr. Luke Plunkett, Mr. O'Gor. man, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Dillon, and Air. Conway, participated, Mr. SHELL said, I am unacquainted with the details of the question now pending between a member of the House of Orange and the Belgian Clergy, but I think it proper that an inquiry should be instituted into the proceedings adopted in the Low Countries with regard to the Catholic religion, in order that we may learn from the illustrative fact how far a Protestant Govern. meat is disposed to act with fairness and impartiality towards the Ministers of a rival creed. We shall know how far it is proper that our Clergy should be submitted to the control of the Cabinet, and whether we should permit them to be involved in that golden net-work which the disinterested and patriotic Mr. Croker had fabricated for their enthralment. (Cheers.) In this view the state of the Catholic religion in the Low Countries may be in some re mote degree connected with the civil liberty of Ireland. In the concerns of the Belgian Universities it would be preposterous upon our part to interfere. But an investigation of facts, applicable to what may become the eventual condition of Ireland, is not inappo site or improper. It may also be suggested that we owe to the pro fessors of our religion on the Continent some return of sympathy for the inoperative interest which they appear to take in the suffer. logs of their brethren in Ireland. 1 ou perceive, Sir, that I allude to the publications which have lately appeared in the Eloile, and which have excited so much of the " splendid bile" of the great Ministerial Journal of England, of the writer in that paper, who has made such angry conimenta upon Mr. Conway's proposition, that we ahould take a French newspaper into the Association. I do not mean to speak pith any sort of disrespect of the editor of' the Courier. That paper is the organ of a great party, and of course adapts itself to its interests and views, and it must be owned that It is conducted with great ability and skill. To the praise of con. sistency it happily has no very high claim. Not very long ago it suggested that the House of Lords ought not to come into colli sion with the Commons, and resist the intimations of its will which was given by the popular branch of the Legislature, while, at present, it seems irrevocably hostile to our claims. In the article to which I am now directing your attention, matter is intro duced which is addressed to the passions of the English people. It is alleged that we have made the Etoile the organ of tht Association. That is not the fact. (Cheers.) There is no con nection whatsoever between that Journal and this Body. No part of its funds have ever been allocated to such a purpose. There stand our books open to the inspection of any man who wishes to revise them. Every sixpence of our expenditure is minutely en tered : we have no secret service money—we .have no friction for the " itching 'palm." The advocacy of our tense is voluntary and unpurchased—it springs from an honourable and high-minded sympathy in our wrongs; and it io equally a calumny upon the Catholics of Ireland and the leading journals of the French Go vernment, to insinuate that the Association have employed them as instruments for the _purpose of awakening a detestation for the intolerant principles of Protestantism through the Continent, and of laying bare the vulnerable point where the power of England may be eventually assailed. (Cheers). But is it a crime upon our part, when a foreign journal, that which has the widest European circulation, and contains the earliest intelligence—that from which the Courier itself makes its chief extracts, has denounced the system of maltreatment adopted towards seven millions of Irish Catholics, and has disclosed the impolicy of annoying so vast a num of population, and consolidating them into one great affili ation of discontent, that.we should be solicitous to learn in what language Ireland is spoken of through the world For my own part, I am free to confess, that I rejoice at this proclamation which has been made of the sufferings of our country, and feel it to be a sort of consolation that if our wrongaare uniedressed, they are not at all events unknown. It is well that England should learn at least to blush at the reproaches which all Europe has united in casting on her head. I do not wonder that a French writer should triumphantly refer to the comparative toleration which exists in England, and in France. One of the fundamental laws of the French Charter de. clares, that although the Catholic and Apostolic religun is era. blfthed, the professors of every other creed an admiseible into every office, civil, military, and legislative, in the State. (Loud cheers.) Religion has disfranchised seven-eighths of the Irish people. Seven millions of British subjects are despoiled of the tights of citizens_ and is there no contrast here ? And on which sale does its glory lie? And is it not right and fitting that the world should be ac quainted with it, and that mankind should know that, in that lofty temple which England has raised to philosophy, an asylum for in tolerance has been preserved? (Cheers.) But, Sir, there is more important matter, in the article to which I have referred, than the mere allegation that the EioUe is apprising the Continen al Powers of the vulnerable condition of this country. It is stated, that the Association has employed that Paper, in order to propagate calum nies against England add her reli4ian. " The Etega;",_ mays the Courier," is to circulate their atrocious calumnies up= Protestant England." Calumnies I Thetis *bold word. I, Sh;gewe at this moment in my laud the articles to which the Currier *kiss, slaA I shoal be glad to learn whether the statements optimal iiithWe articles are destitute of truth. First, with , „ 111, England., die Male IS pleated to refer its in I sanguinary tyrant. The bloody Henry, says the E lul sea dsa Apostle of the English Reformation—flre become the iatermeaerillir the Gospel. and furnished Its 'notes and comnialatirOpeo the wind el God. And what else has Gray told us, in his pious coiiplae lapin the divine origin of the Protestant religion— • " 'Twas love first taught s monarch to Ili oho. And Gospel truth first shone duo' Bellen's eyes." (Loud cheers.) So much for the *calumnies of the Btaife Mau the religion of the Engloth people. The Voila sets forth fee numbers of the Irish Catholics, their Increasing wealth, Intel*. gence, and power. It appeals to the testimony ok Mr. MIN& loch ' • and having stated t b atla at the number of edted diadems was known, derives from tbote ilata the average and company. tire population of Ireland. " The Catholics," says the Rislie, " are eta million s an d a h a lf." Is that false? " The Catholics (gays the Voile) have no share in the legislative enactment, or in the judicial administration of the laws which govern them—shed they ate excluded from all offices of high tumour and epode ment in the State—that the spirit of sect makes its way into the tribunals ofjustice (it quotes Justice Fletcher's celebrated Manse) —that they cannot hold even the rank of King', Counsel as the Bar—that they are excluded from Corporations--are obliged to pay one tenth of their property to the Ministers of a religion professed by a petty minority of the people—are forced to raise at their expense the empty and deserted temples of the Pro. testant religion—that they are in a degraded cast, stamped with an ignominious inferiority by the law." Now, I ask, is all this false, and are these the calumnies which the Etoilt is accused of circulatiag agahlat the religton and Government of England? (Loud cheers ) But perhaps it is in the detail of the bigotry of Catholic Ireland that the calumny is so to be detected. The &Dile, after mentionitag that France was,in the reign of William, in alliance with Ireland, and that there was a French garrison in Limerick, sees forth the celebrated articles of its capitulation. 'lt states. that the very Sunday after they were signed, Dobbin. the Bishop of Meath, preached before the Heads of the Protestant Government, in Christ Church, and laid it down as a tenet, that faith was not to be kept with Papists. and that the present articles should be held to be null and void is that falall The atrocious morality ofehriat Church was speedily embodied in he penal code,which Burke pronounced to be the most ingenious th e was ever invented- for the vilification of man. " Perjury and parricide." says the /;'toile, " were the basin of that infernal system." Is that false ? In it false ? ask it of the chief Ministerial Journalist of England.) Is it 'false that the estate of the father was made the premium of the son's apos lacy ? Is it false that, with a renegade oath, he could strike a poniard into his father's heart ? These laws have been called ' Serpent's teeth." But rosily a Catholic father found them much " sharper," in the ingratitude of a thankless child. Let the Cott rier expatiate, if it will, upon the moral beauties of the system of legislation introduced by the Protestants into Ireland, and point out the beneficial results which It most hare had upon the charac ter of the people to which it was so bountifully applied. The Btoile proceeds to detail the progress of the relaxation of the penal code, and ascribes every concession to the perils and embarrass*. ments of England. From 1778 down to 1793 the mitigations of the penal code are traced to the influence of alarm. Hew far hu the Erode misrepresented the facts ? Let the Courier point out a sin.. gle instance in which relief may be considered to have flowed hoax the spirit of liberality and of justice. In the year 1792, the Ca tholic Petitign, which merely prayed that the Catholics should he admitted to the elective franchise (no more), was rejected, when a majority of 208 to 23 was declared, and the great bill of 1793 was carried with hardly a dissentient voice. On the 4th of February, 1793, Mr. Secretary Hobart moved for liberty to bring in a Bill for Emancipation, and on the same night announced that hostilities had commenced. These, forsooth, are the calumnies of the Etoffe, and it is because we have introduced the Journal in which this important matter is contained, that we are denounced as rebels to the state. What ! Is it a crime in the captive to listen at the bars of his dungeon to the expression of pity which is offered by the casual passenger to his sufferings? (Loud cheers.) This, after all, is the extent of our criminality—here is the heed and front of our offence. But there is further matter in the Eloile, which is represented as false by the indignant ministerialists of the Courier. " The Creoles of South America, (it nays) were not Ireland,more oppressed than the Catholics of and the day may come when. the example which England has afforded may be turned against herself." The first branch of this proposition is beyond, doubt. The second, I trust, is destitute of all truth. It is, after all, mere prophecy, and whether to the Editor of the French or English organ the larger portion of inspiration has been awarded, it MUM be left to time to determine. The Courier tells us that the bare ----- --"- "" power will of let me see, here is a passage, in which it is alleged that the rq peated disasters sustained by the Irish people have not yet subdued their love of liberty, and that the spirit of the country is us broken still. (Loud cheers.) Is this false ? Is this among the insolent fabrications of the French journalist? Is this another calumny I Is this also false? No ! Thanks to Almighty God ! In the tnidst of all which we are condemned to state—bathed and spurned as we have been—laden with injustice, and besmeseed with contpmely, denounced from the steps of the throne itself, and with almost every thing lost, except what a chivalrous and gallapt King of France still boasted that he had preserved, with every thing Inst. except what constitutes the honouruf a people. (Loud cneess.) Thanks to Almighty God ! and I repeat the adjurstiOn, the heart of Ireland is not tamed her soul is not subdued, her enthusiastic spirit is not broken. (loud cheers.) No ! Nor will the meosee which the organ of the Orange part of the Cabinet—the repre_ senta:ive of Eldon and of Peel, has presumed to utter, deter us from the pursuit of that great object to which we are dvathai. The Courier has threatened us with the re-enactinant of the penal code ! Re-enact the penal code ! Re-enact that barbarous, that flagitious, that blasphemous and parricidal code, which was revolt against nature, and an outrage to the eternal Dodd lc enact those laws from which the heart of man recoils, and cf which it is impossible to think without horror I Re-enact the penal code ! Never ! or if they do, it shall be at the prica of a deluge of blood ! (Here the whole meeting rose up anti repeat edly cheered Mr. Shell.) The earth shall soak with human gore before it. The sithea of massacre must be fastened to the chariot wheels of tyranny. Seven millions of men must bet first mowed down. They must turn Ireland into a sepulchre before it. I to not speak of the law as it now stands-4n that it is owe moral duty to submit ; but I do not hesitate to say that any attempt to re-enact the penal code in the plenitude of its former atrocity, would not only justify but demand an appeal to those great and origiqal rights, the consciousness of which is graven in the heart of min, and that it would be better that our veins should be drained if every drop of our blood, than they should be laden with the soul eating fetters of the penal code again. (Mr. Sheil sat down amidst loud and long continued cheers.) The Resolution was then put and carried, with the dissentient of Mr. Plunkett. The following Gentlemen were appointed on the Committee : Mr. Conway. Mr. Shell, Mr. Brie, Mr. Coppinger, and Mr. Browne, besides the mover and seconder. M. Bv:l.t.Ew. Esq. was called to the chair ; and after thanks to the Chairman the meeting aijourned. DESTRUCTION OF .4 GAMI NG.TABLE INDURLIN. On Sunday twenty-siz persons of various-occupations —. private gentlemen, attorneys, working tradesmen, anti waiters out of place, were brought before Major Sirr (the sitting Magistrate), charged by Mr. Farrell, chief officer of police, with being found in the gaming-house of Edward Reynolds, in Temple-lane, playing at the game of hazard, at one o'clock in the morning. Informations had beets lodged, and a warrant directed to Mr. Farrell, on Saturday. At the hour mentioned, he proceeded, accompanied b a numerous train of peace officers, and some a the OrSO police, in coloured clothes, under t hei direction of Mr.Bcll, armed with sledges and crow-bars. Having demanded ad mittance, which, as is usual, was refused, a signal was given, and, in a few minutes, the door gave way berme the well applied blows of the sledges. Some of the couvaty were in the dining-room, where there was a large +nal table, at which they set; many got on the roof, but they were followed and brought back by the peace officers Hardy, Jones, and Holland; three escaped into the yard of a wholesale house in Eustace-street, forced through the kitchen window, and out into the street, where their retreat was cut off by peace officer Cox, who bad been statics:3l there for the purpose. Being asked by Major Sirr what they had to say, many of them admitted their having gone there to play ; others said they went to see persona who owed them money ; there never was a more wretched look ing group inside the office. They were each ordered to pay a fine of 40s. and in default will be committed to Newgate. No exertion is sufficient to put down this most destructive vice.
