Sontr.s. 'Marine Paintar to MA Majesty and his Royal Highness the Duke of elarettee.-I,cish. Perhaps no man of a commit:adv.. cast of mind an fur nish himself with a more pathetic seem: for reflection, than the CEMETEUY or PEILE LA CIIAISI. The environs of Paris exhibit nothing of equal itaterest with this place of interment, which appeals with a Lndrrness that is len. , Omit& to all the purest and heat feelings of the heart. England' has nothing to sbew that at all approaches to it. It in truly' consecrated ground, for it is consecrated by all those emotions which dignify and adorn our nature. The preface gives us the following interesting history of this celt•hrated burial-,Tound:-- " It was originally denominated Champ MOTs., but rm. slated only of six acres In the fourteenth century, Regsaud, a rich grocer, enchanted with its beautiful scenery and noble pun. lichened it as the site of a mansion, so superb thatit was deemed by many too splendid for the rank of its proprietor, and soon acquired the name of Regnand's Folly. " In DIN, It fell into the hands of the Jesuits ; and, according to tradition. it wroi from this place that Louis XIV. vilutaischilds witnessed the battle In the Faubourg St. Antoine, July 2, lfft2, which was given by Marshal Turenne, the emumander of the rtival army, in Nauru of the grist Conde., who was then chief of the stingers. Hence this spot derived the name of Mont Louis, which It still retains. For its second and more general appellation of Pere la Chaise, it is indebted to the following circumstances:— " Pere la Chaise, one oldie Jesuits to whom the estate belonged, was in 1d75 appointed confessor w Louis XIV. who became bit aril :at patron, and gave him the control of the ecclesiastical antes of the kingdom. This, added to the office with which he was already invested, occupied him an intensely, that occarional retirement became necessary ; and the King, wishing to olfer him some mark of his approbation, presented him with the mate of Mont Louis. The house wits rebuilt on an enlarged scale; the grounds *Ave extended, and the gardens furnished with every thing calculated to please the eye, or gratify the taste. " After the death of Pere L Chaise, Mont Louis was occupied as &country-house bathe Jesuits, and became the scene of their nurne- I mut intrigues. '1 he revocation of the edict of Nantes is said to have been projected at this place; and hence were issued many of the Wirer de cachet which consigned the enemies of the Jesuits to iroprisorrient.. _ _ _ " in 1163, when the order of the Jesuits was abolished in France, Mont Louis was directed to be sold for the benefit of their creditors. It was afterwards inhabited by numerous proprietors. who followed each utlic: in rapid succession, as the expense of such an establish. ment soon swallowed up the whole of a slender funtarie, anti lust,- rially diminished the most wealthy. It was finally purchased by - ..e Prefect of the Seine, and laid out in 18111 as a Cemetery, under the direction of 31. Brogniart. "The house of Pere is Chaise has since been taken down, and a chapel crested on its site. Traces of the ditch which surrounded it arc yet risible; anti the water, which &nil continues to flow by a subterranean channel, is us.al by the gardener fur moistening the &truth around the tombs. " Cemetery of Pare la Chaise is situated on the east side of Park. at the extremity of the Lloulevanbi, near the B3lllilfe d'Aul nay. It is the largest of the four Cemeteries in the vicinity of the French metropolis, and contaiu from sixty to eighty acres, plea. singly diversified by hill, plain, and Talky. The irregularity of the ground renders it extremely picturesque, and its beauty is still further increaacd by the gloomy foliage of its cypress trees shatling tombs of every form. Few situations command so extensive and vathd a prospect. On the west is seen the whole of Paris; on the south, Ilice.re and Mrudon; on the east, the plain of Saint !liana, Montreuil, Vincennes, and the banks of the Marne; and on the north, IlAlecille and Montmartre. " Although little more than tweity years have elapsed since this became a l'emetery, it is now the most '&4:tenable in Paris: more than 90.000 persons hare beta buried here, exclusive of those from the hospitals. Many of !he tombs are distinguished for their archi tectural beauty, and others are remarkable as the memorials of men of science and of literature." The ten plates, which are given in coloured aqua-tint with grvat fidelity, embrace the following subjects:— The Ist represents the Porter's l odge at the entrance of the Cemetery. Part of the city of P.trul and the Etoridee d'Aulnay appear to the back ground. 2. Cl:tains several tombs distinguished by their picturesque appearance. r ile a representation of the Chapel. It was erected from de signs by 31. tiodde on the site of the holm which belonged to Pdre la Chaise. In front is introduced a funeral procession, and in the back-ground a pears the height of Blontinartre. 4. Contains misedlaneous tombs remarkable fur their archi tectural beauty. S. Is a representation of the tombs dedicated to Mohan, La Fontaine, and Dclille. The monument of the latter is a large tomb of solid stone. In the south front is a bronze door, over which is engraved in the stone, • Jacques Mille." The sane inscrip tion is repeated on the opposite front in gold leucrs. on a marble slab. The tomb is surrounded by a small garden, and juin ed by an iron railing. Several kinds of shrubs and !lowers adorn this little grove, which is consecrated to the memory of him who was so justly called the ' , fetich Virgil, and whose Muse so sweetly cele brated the beauties of rural scenery. 6. Represents the following monuments : Ist. Marshal Perignon. This Lomb is decorated with numerous military trophies. 2d. Marshal Lefebvre, Duke of Minnick. 3d. Marshal Massena, Prince d'llssling. A handsome obelisk, 21 f e et high, denotes the burial-place of this celebrated general. It is sumiunded by a railing, and bears the following names : Riroli—Zurich—tienes—Essling"—meniorials of his victories. It was erected by Boudin, from designs by Vincent: the head of the Marshal is by Huai° ; and the ornaments were sculptured by Jacques. 7. Contains the following monuments:- Ist. Guillaume la Orange, an offices of human, who was 'tilled in Poland. 2d. 31. flarreati, whose wife is represented deploring his loss. 3d. Chevalier de Itouffter., la fleur des Tivubadours. 4th. Comtnise dc la Marks. S. Represents the Sepulchral Chapel of Abduct and finite. which •ss constructed by M. Lenoir with the fragments of the l'arsclke and the . priory of St. Marcel les Chalons. It is in the limbic style, and is built with great taste. 'O. Is a geometrical elevation of the tomb of Abclard and Eloise. 10. Is a view of the Monastery of Paraelite, which was built by A belard, Oben he fled from the persecutions of his eneuties in I I 22. To those who have visited this interesting spot, this pleasing wurk will bring it back with all its affecting associations; while those who have never hitherto had the opportunity of visiting it will do well to anticipate, in these representations of it, the delight and gratification that await them. 111.—Theodore; or the Gamester's Progress, a Poetic Tale.— Wonky. Gaming is so destructive a vice in society, that we would gladly give effect to every attempt to warn the youthful mind from an enticement so fatal. The mural Hercules has a many-headed Hydra to combat, and a larKe stable to clean out, before he will have finished his task ; but we have reason to believe that much good has been done of late, towards reforming, this dangerous pro pensity ; and we hope that the unpremeditated impulses of nature, as displayed in this poetical delineation of the Gamester's l'rugress, will contribute to the same desirable end. IV. Immediate, not gradual. Abolition; or. an Inquiry into the shortest, safest, and moat effectual Mears of geuing rid of IVest Indian Slavery.—Weatley. In this moral conflict of opinion between the gradual and the immediate Abolitionists, as to which course is most expedient, the parties seem very far from coming to a compromise. In the mean time, all the honest exertions of kindness towards the slave are calculated to strengthen the principles of philanthropy, whether th e e ff ec t t h ose exertions produce be large or small ; let there be but a sincere desire to remove the evil, and an improvement of th• opportunities fur so doing, and the sable race will not be long before they receive all that benefit, from a change in their cundition, which the pious and benevolent con templation of their friends, on both aides, would fain ob tain fur them. V.

COLN! E 1.4. TRAVELS IN TU nurt.rume O COLOMBIA, IN VLABS latt AND 11121—Itr 0. MoLLtzs. The announcement of this wo:1 for publication Eng land has exeited coosidernble cxpe;aattnu. The reputa tion acquired by the author fur v.'s:arches in Africa, in 18IS, leada the public to lank• with wone deem,: of anxiety to his historical and ^cgraploicnl sketch of the new Ame rican State. We extract the following critique from the Journal d,..r 11r/et; of Mouthy. Our readers will bear in mind, whie they are reading it, the strong royalist fveling of the critic from whose pen it proceeds:— . . " The ietcrest excited by these travels, and the iniport suet of the ideas which they suggemt, impel us to waive every consideration respecting priority of 'edification, and induce us to give sonic account of the volumes befo:e us, though it is but a short time since they have been sub ?tinted to our inspection. The taste and inclination of the public are the laws which govern the journalist ; he cannot violate them without the loss of all credit—and what canna of the uttiecree can excite a more lively curiosity than this Colombia, which enthusiasts elevate, even now, to the reek of mighty empires ; upon which splendid eu logituns are pronounced, without any knowledge of the sub ject, and on behalf of which tech ardent wishes are of fered up by these who enasmet tell to what advantage its ride pentlence may conduce t in addition to these feelings. who is there that veto-elispike the palm of preeminence with the hem of the young Republic, the Scipio of Caracas and of Bogota? We Would even style Bolivar the Alex ander, if he were not so gad a Republican. We have before us an intelligent traveller, an accurate observer, and one wholly disengaged from the spirit of party. Ile explores the most populous and productive provinces of the new empire, and communicates to us the interesting remarks be has made upon the physical aspect and appearance of the different regions ; upon the population, the manners, and the genius of the inhabitants ; upon the agriculture, and the mineral wealth; upon the history of that revolution, which has rescued these vast dominions from the grasp of Spain ; upon the character, the resources, and the sun posed designs of the leaders most renowned in this struggle,—Samander, Sucre, Unlaneta, liermudes, Pace, Montilla, and Padilla, amongst whom Bolivar will one day be considered as prinsas inter Pares , or rather perhaps as Primus sine Paribus, according to die caprice of fortune. " The most attentive perusal of the work, does not in dicate to us to which party bI. Mollien leans. This is an excellent proof of his impartiality, and of his capacity fur snaking correct judgments. We have had proofs anterior to this voyage. He is not a man who issues for the first time from the saloons of Paris, and who becomes lost in amazement at the immensity of the ocean, the prodigious elevations of mountain., and the suriasaing magnitude of rivers. Ile does not exclaim in astonishment at the ap pearance of every new vegetation ; be does not exaggerate the sufferings to which he las voluntarily exposed himself ; he does not place notes of admiration at the conclusion of those sentences in which he describes the suffocating heat upon the borders of Magdalene, and the freezing cold of Paramus. His travels in Africa had familiarised ha mind to the stupendous scenes of nature—the prodigies—the Taban.o. The serpents and the Caimans of Colombia etuld not terrify the traveller who had exposed himself to the monsters, whether aerial, aquatic, or terrestrial, of Senegambia. On his departure from France, Mr. Mellien directed his course to South America, and the vessel in which he embarked bad to touch at Norfolk, in Viiginia. He availed himself of this ciremnstance to enter the Bay of the Chesapeake, ascend the Potomac, and visit Wash ington, the splendid capital, which wants hut the addition of houses, to render it in every sense of the word, a City. In the journey front Norfolk to Carthagena, his own observations, and thuce of his fellow-travellers, agree in blaming in the government of the United States, those vices which exhibit a disgusting contrast with the principles avowed at the moment of separation from the mother, country. Mere than 15,000 slaves, cruelly treated by the Republicans, testify loudly against that maudlin system of philanthropy and rove of univ:esal liberty, which enables its professors to pronounce so many beautiful orations. without having the least influence upon tin it own conduct. The Police is severely censured for not atforilitig to strangers a sufficient protection against the frauds of tradesmen, and the knavery of servants. He also inveighs loudly against the negligence of a government, which suffers the annual ravages of the yellow fever, without taking any salutary measure of precaution. But the most striking observation of all is, the strong inclination to Aristocracy, diecovered by our travellers in many classes of the citizens, and more especially among the military. This inclination is coun tenanced by the gevernmeot itself, as is evident from many of the late institutions. The same svmptonis will not be slow in exhibiting themselves in Colombia, so true is it that the love of liberty serves often but as the mark of ambition, and that every state finishes its republican career by succombing to the rule of a king. The manner in which the revolution was effected in this country corroborates but too strongly the preceding reflection. When the agents of Bonaparte presented themselves to the future Colombians they were repulsed with cries of " Ferdinand VII. fur ever! " And when Ferdinand himself appeared to claim his inheritance, he was answered with shouts of ' " Long live the Republic." The Colombians pleaded allegiance, to escape the tyranny of Bonaparte, and liberty, to re‘cue themselves from the dominion of Ferdinand. And thus the inhabitants of the interior, removed by their locality from the immediate scene of the conspiracy, learned, as it were, like foreign news, that they had been loyal—that they hail rebelled—and hat they had become republicans. As to all these points, they answer only ' S.) be it: Let us not ridicule them, for in truth they do not deserve it. If we wish to read this interesting work with advantage, we must strip ourselves of every Euro pean prejudice; we must particularly avoid comparing the cities of this Republic with our own, and their plains with our fields. Bogota, the capital of Colombia, differs more from Cumin' and Carthagena, than Paris from Moscow. Here a scorching atmosphere; a river spacious as the Se. negal ; uncultivated plains ; silence unbroken, save by the fall of the torrent, or the howlings of wild beasts ; a few black inhabitants that may be seen wandering. separated from each other ; huts composed of rushes and leaves of trees ; made Mr. Mollien imagine he had returned to Africa: while in the same regions, an autumnal temperature, fields of corn and beans, orchards well stocked with ap ple trees, and the appearance of civilization, made him for get he had left Europe. In the low valleys in the Mamie. whether level or hilly, the heat rites to 36 or 40 degrees of Reauntur. As Humboldt has sheen, in New Andalusia, the vast summit of the Cordellieros, is constantly subject to a temperature which rises rarely to let degrees, and often ' sinks to six ; so that at the Equator itself the constant heat ' of the atmosphere is not beyond that which we enjoy in the fine days of February. If we ascend the summits of Paramus, we have the climate of Siberia in all its severity ; and if we descend to the valley or seek the plain, we have , Sahara and its scorchilig heat: thus a single day suffices to carry us from one extreme to another. It is supposed that the character, physical and moral, of the inhabitants, must vary according to the climate and the productions of the earth, and consequently the ideas, the opinions, and tlw political all:edam, cannot tend to the sane object, in an assemblage of people, .101i:ring so essentially in colour, in bodily strength, and the mixture of diffieemt races— black, white, and coloured. We must, in fact, con sider the revolution with the same glance in all parts of Culombia as well as in one district. In some places the love of independence is carried to an ex treme ; in others, the tranquillity of the old regime is re gretted and deplored, and in the capital itself an observer w a y remark a complete indifference to either dominion, and a readiness to open its gates to the conqueror, whoever lie may be, with the single exception of the bond of religion, which is the sante throughout.

'Whatever map let the motives wb:cli t!e lit see tla not ilietinesaielt in this love of iraeiva tion the Gusto tar) dieert aeon ce the clerical order, and we are certa'n that tiles? reeehlieen priests will soon sulfa the pithislitnent of thin sti ;matt ' , elute. The following de tails will rive sense idea o' ie infatuations:—The pro perty of the eleteee oc Colombia formed two parts of that of the Ili pithrie. rear inferior curates had a revenue of Setrai francs, and the lei, her ei3 , i mere than double. Many of the B hh pa were worth le en 1.0,000 to 200,00 e francs a-year ; cost a pittetre—a christening tac, three, or pc:lisp.; cote.; the beriel of the poor, four piastres end a half ; that of tile clue, 200 piastres. lu the church of Chiiminquira, which may be called the Loretto or the ile;ittblie, s single malts will not be cele brated for less thin so francs, and au e.r volt', followed by the tiIICIVSS pra:•.ed for, is rewarded by an offering of more then lee plaetres. Twenty-six churches of Bogota are adorned with gold and precious store's and glitter with such splendor, that we imagine at first that we are enter ing the Palace o° Atitaltra, or Iluascar: a single statue of the decorttied with 1,9'4 diamonds, 1,495 eme ralds, and 99'2 precious stones of various descriptions. The work of the artist alone upon this single statue, amounted to more than 20,0 J 0 francs. With thisopuknee of the cler;ry. with this splendor of religious establishment, let us contrast the wreteheclueu cf a great part of the po • pulation, and the poverty which chewer and the revolution have entailed upon the public treasury ; the debt of 40 millions of piastres due to the English, which compels the Government to forced loans, and to the adoption of every re volutionary measure ; and let usabove all things consider the state of the troops ate! the fortunes of the heroes of Colombia. The appointments of a Commander-in -Ch iefarc but LOO pies tres ; those of a General of Division 109; a General command ing a brigade 300; a Captain 60; and the other ranks under go a preportionate reduction to that of a private soldier, who has but ten piastres annually. What then has been the object, what could be the hope of the clergy in giving their support to the revolution ? Under what government can they experience such deference as was paid them under that of Spain ? They have been the possessors of two portions of' the public wealth, can they expect an increase of this 'pendia endowment? Will the soldiers of Colombia be al ways divrvattl to support theenormous disproportion bet w t en the provision' made for a hero and that made for a monk ? And when an active system of commerce shall have propa gated new ideas from the yanks of the Cordilleras to the hanks of the Afire:ld:eel, of the Cat ca, of the Meta, of the Gniavera, and the Oronoko? Will the clergy, almost de serted at present, hope to gain an increase of obedience and respect from regenerated nations ? Oh how the Jacobins of Colombia (ior there are Jacobins even there), must smile whet. they behold the clergy working with such ar dour. for their own destruction, and giving their impetus to a movement which they vainly think they can direct. " The observations of M. islollien embrace teo many subjects for us to analyse them now, and though he explored only the western provinces of Colombia, his voyage comprehends so extensive a space, that we cannot notice it at present ; we confine ourselves to the enumera tion of the remarkable places he has seen. From Cartha gena he re-ascem:ed the valley of the Magdalena; he so join ned at Santa Fe de Bogota, the capital of the Repub lic, after gazing with astonishment upon the Falls of l'equendania, one of the most sates:Jung cataracts in the world. Ile made an excursion to the Socorro, and to the ancient kingdoms of Contlinamara, so celebrated in the history of the Incas and that of the conquest. Ile revisits Bogota; explores the Popyan ; climbs to the summit the volcano of Purace; navigates the waters of the rapid Cauca, and those of the Dagna, still more dangerous to mariners ; reaches San Buonaventura, a port in the Pacific, as neglected as it may be rendered useful to commerce; in- andthe proviace ot' Choco, so wealthy in mines of gold, sol whose inhabitauts are sunk in wretchedneas; arrives at Panama, whose name alone awakens curiosioty ; tra verses the Isthmus, embarks at Chaserss for Jamaica, and returns to France after having touched at Falmouth. " Great as the interest excited by these travels, so recent that it terminated only in the 'say 1 4 44. must be, this in terest is of minor importance to the moral and political con siderations with which NI. Mollien resents us. Ile has seen in the fervor of republicanism those people whom Humbohltoblerved in the tranquillity of peesiveohedience.. " We particularly recommend to the reader the chapters in which he describes the war of the revolution, amid the struggle, iu which Fortune, after sporting alternately with Bolivar and Morillo, finished her game by sacrificing the cause of legitimacy, and giving triumph to that of repub licanism, at the very moment when it seemed reduced to despair. "The details given by M. Mollien of the characters of the different leaders of the Revolution furnish a vast scope to conjecture. It appears Celt all concede to Bolivar that every thing depends upon him ; that without his presiding influence, the various parties, among whom is to be found that of the mulattoes, would be soon in a state of conflict, and the Republic composed of such ht.erogeneous elements, would be the prey of violent dissensions, or be delivered up to complete anarchy. " We avail ourselves of the space still left us, to notice a few observations which appear curious. In the last century certain political declaimers were in the habit of accusing the Spaniards of having massacred twenty-four to thirty millions of men in the two Americas—of having, in fact, annihilated the human race. God forbid that we should be the apologists of the I'izarros and the Alinagros; we are willing to admit that their cruelty and avarice even surpassed their valour; but a remark of M. Mollien has explained to us the cause of the exasezerations. He informs us, that upon the continent of America the white colour has been ever considered an honour, and that the women were most anxious to procure fur their offspring this pre cious inheritance. In consequence the number of mixed whites became prodigious; a great portion of the native raw was merged in this mixture, and decreased to such an extent that it was supposed to be exterminated. There exist without doubt, in the other parts of Spanish America, similar causes of a similar error. " In the heat of the insurrection, the Viceroy, Amar, was dragged to prison, and in a few days after, the caprice of the sovereign people restored him to the head of the Go vernment ; but he was afterwards remnoved frtnn the Pa lace, and conducted to Carthae,ena, because lie intended, it was said, to sell America to Bonaparte, at the rate of two reals a man ' and one fur each woman. At this report, which appeared so probable. the women of Bogota carried their fury to the extent of offering insult to the Vicequeen. We are, however, inclined to 'where, that they would have pardoned the pretended guilt of Amer, if he had valued a woman at two reels, anu was satisfied to dispose of a man for one. " The plate called the Palace of Deputies, it nothing more than a house, the lower part of which consists of shops, in which can-de-vie is sold. The Hall of the Sittings is a long chamber, where the representatives alone are seat, al upon chairs of vantisheal wood, with leather seats. Eight lamps, and a r•-: . aw mat, constitute the ornaments of ibis splendid 'mum. nt. " The Palace or the Senate, in front of the former, is of equal simplicity : there is neither a saloon nor antechamber, so that the Alinisters, when they eoine to make any com munication, remain upon the stair-case, until the Usher, wlau is also the manager of the theatre, la:moves their um brellas, a:stl invites them to enter. " In the Hall of the Senate there is an emblematic re presentation of Justice ; our author says that the ignorant painter wrote u n der it the word Psi, q. e 410 tout see any proof of ignorance in this subscription ; Justice has not mach concern with revolutions, and Policy is also armed with the sword : she also pretends to hold an equal balance, and is sometimes so blind that she may well be supposed to have deprived Justice of her bandag... We etmelude with a just and profound reflection.. whieh we borrow from the navelltr.

Tnis we admit ; but in countries where rues sive Ina! inches to rest, such a plant, however valuable, b-enire a a nviaaace, as it adds to the 16de:irons natural to the inhabitatits of the tropics. • "In the plains of America (adds H. Mollia) the bread finit trte will produce effects similar to those ceased by the I latc t:ea in Anita;h will create the Bedouins of the %Vest. as it bas perpetuated those of the Lust. 41ust not. this be the ease when we consider the abundance of the produce of tli;s vegetable ; the rapidity of its growth, and' the facility of its culture. Thus, contrary to general opi nion, the greatest abundance is not always the source of prcsperity ; and that which supports toss with too muck 1 facility, may be injurious to civilisation, by liinisinp his wants, and consequently diminishing his industry. This prop sition, which has the air of a paiiafox, is nevertheless a truth • but it would pass unobserved, except by a man at sound observation, and clear discernment." THE ARMY.
