The singular history of Masaniello, the fisher man of Naples, who, in ten days, raised himself from the condition of a fisherman to the sove reignty of one of the finest cities in the world, has been of late rendered familiar to the public by Constable's popular Miscellany, and now forms the opening article of the number before us. This article is written with much spirit and grace, but is, we think, rather severe upon the mental qualifications of Masaniello. The man who could so adroitly contrive to gain the public ear, as in the brief space of three days to be ena bled to put himself at the head of 40,000 souls ; who could organize, carry on, and accomplish a revolution which conferred the most lasting benefits on his country ; and, above all, who could gain such a magical ascendancy over the minds of the Neapolitans, that " when he waved his hand the people shouted ; when he placed his finger on his lips, the roaring multi tude became hushed as • death : when he com manded them to return to their homes, the court-yard, as if by magic, was evacuated in an instant ;" such a man must, we conceive, have possessed a very superior order of intellect.— But the- Reviewer objects to him that he was the mere creature of circumstances. So, more or less, is every man. What was Napoleon but the creature of the Revolution ? Does the Reviewer imagine that if this transeendant warrior had I lived fifty years earlier, he would have been Em peror of the French ? fiver ;he was moulded' ' like Masaniello by the events that immediately preceded, and grew up about him, and like the Neapolitan fisherman (and herein both showed their superior intellect) knew how to avail himself of them. The close of the Revo lution at Naples, in which the Duke de Guise figured, is highly interesting. The Reviewer gives an animated sketch of this Prince's private character—for the materials of which, so far as our memory serves us, he seems to be indebted to the late Mr. Seward--of his chival rous turn of mind, his gallantry and love of in trigue, his splendour, acquirements, and dissi pation. It seems that, after the death of Masa niello, who on the eighth day of his exaltation to unlimited despotism was seized with madness, and on the tenth was put to death by the fickle populace who but a week before had hailed him as their saviour, the Spanish Viceroy at Naples wished to induce the people to return to their old allegiance. France however, to which the kingdom had about a century before belonged by right of her acquisition of Anjou, was anxious to renew her claim, and accordingly empowered the Duke de Guise, then intriguing fora divorce at Rome, to recover it for her. This Prince gladly undertook the task, intending however to secure the kingdom for himself; but finding every thing in a state of anarchy—a blacicsmith at the head of the people, the- Spanish Viceroy at the head of the nobility, and both parties equally unwilling to enter into any sort of ac commodation, the expedition ,failed, and the Duke was compelled to return to Paris, where, lost in some degree to political life, he ultimately figured as Grand Chamberlain tti Louis the Fourteentii; thln a young and dissipated sove reign. Such is the substance of the present ar ticle which, as we before observed, is strikingly interesting, if only from the extreme contrast between its two heroes. Masaniello, the rude, rough, unlettered fisherman, figures strangely, next the courtly, polished, handsome, and well informed Duke. Both, singularly enough, were revolutionists; but the man of the world failed, while the dreaming.enthusiast, with little but his mental energy to back him, succeeded. We re commend this portion of Italian history to Sir Walter Scott ; it is all comprised within a period of three years, or less, and from its amazing va riety of character and incident cannot fail in his hands to make a first rafd tale. We subjoin a description of the Duke de Guise ; he is a hero of romance ready made for him : _ _ " Henry de Lorraine, Duke of Guise, was one of the most remarkable men at the Court of Fiance. Richelieu had, indeed, subdued and chained to the throne those great princes whose power had repeatedly shaken it ; but their children still continued tf) cherish the high spirit of chivalry which had been the idol of their fathers; and glory and lady's love were no less the topics of the Court than when Francis I. did homage to the beautiful Diana of Valentinois at Fontainebleau, 66 The Duke of Guise united in his person the qualities both of the romantic heroes of the period, and of such as stood high in the political world. Young, handsome, ac complished in all exercises, witty and agreeable as Gram mont, amorous as Amadis, and inconstant as his brother Don Galaor, he was accounted irresistible among the fur sex. A soldier brave as Bayard, and possessed of all the ambition of all the Guises, Henry of Lorraine was fit both to conceive and to execute the most extraordinary enterprises. With the most perfect resolution, and the most acute discernment, be possessed the art of eloquence that addresses the heart through the ear, the graces of dig nified simplicity which men love, but in a superior degree the power of using at will that species of cold politeness which is the most poignant way of expressing contempt. Such a character was formed to amuse, and perhaps to scandalize, the Court with his amours, and disturb it with his political intrigues, in both which spheres he was re markably active. " The Duke of Guise had been originally designed for the church, and at fifteen years of age was promoted to the Archbishopric of Rheims, though his taste inclined hint towards the army. But on the death of his elder brother, the Prince ofJoinville, in 1639, he instantly re nounced the Archbishopric, the duties of which had been performed by other hands while lie was pursuing his mili tary career in Italy and Germany, and on the death of his father next year, he joyfully returned to France, to ex change the first ecclesiastical peerage of the kingdom for the peerage of his family, more happy in his freedom than within the limits of a profession to which he could have done no honour. He fell in love with Anne de Gonzague, youngest daughter of the Duke of Nevers and Mantua, and the lady shared his passion. But having entered into the conspiracy against Richelieu, formed by the Count de Soissons, the Duke de Bouillon, and others, and fomented by the Court of Spain, the Duke of Guise partook of their disgrace in 1641, and was obliged to fly. Anne de Gon zague rendered his triumph complete by escaping in pur suit of him in male attire. She hastened to Flanders to console her lover under the sentence of high treason and confiscation, pronounced against him during his absence ; she came—and found Guise not only in love with, but ac tually married to another woman. Indignant at his per fidy, she instantly returned to France. " The lady who bad the honour of fixing for a moment his wavering affections was a Flemish beauty, Honorine de Glimes, widow of the Count de Bossu. The marriage ceremony was performed by a Bishop, one of the lady's re lations ; what were the grounds on which the Duke after wards sought to annul the marriage, we have not been able distinctly to make out. The union, however, did not last much above three years, during which he contrived to dis sipate his wife's fortune, at the end of which time both Richelieu and Louis XIII. were dead; and the Duke of Guise having submitted himself to the Queen's (Anne of Austria's)' mercy, and - received 'his pardon, secretly left Brussels and his Wife, and in 1644, reappeared in all the splendour of his adventures at the French capital. The Duke's next conquest was that of the beautiful Madame Monthazon, which led him into an adventure that reminds us of the catastrophe of that one among Gil Bias's masters who was killed in the flower of his age fin' circulating forged billets.;.dou.i'. Madame de Montbazon, who nou rished some feniale spite against. Maclaine tongueville, had imputed to that fa , iy the writing of c which were not her's. The courtiers took different parts on this important occasion, and Henry of Lorraine loudly advocated the cause of his mistress. The Count de Coiigni was the champion of Madame de Longueville ; and the lineal representatives of the great Guise and the no less great Admiral de Coiigni, who fought with the fate of a kingdom and its religion on their swork waged as deadly a war about a lady's love-letters. The Duke of Guise was victorious; he disarmed and wounded Coiigni, who died within five months, partly of grief, partly of his wounds. Shortly after the Duke's liaison with Madame Montbazon was broken off by the exile of his mistress. " After this separation, the Duke of Guise fixed Its fluc tuating affections upon Mademoiselle 'le Pons, of the highly descended family of d'Albret. This lady, whose vanity was much more flattered than her affections were excited by the attentions of the Doke, showed herself inaccessible to every species of courtship save that which led to the altar of Hymen. The Duke of Guise would have gratified his passion even at that rate, but the claims of his Flemish spouse formed an impediment which must first be removed. Measures were adopted to obtain a divorce betwixt the Duke and the Countess, who pertinaciously maintained h er conjugal rights. Me a nti me th e D u k e o f 'Guise made two campaigns in Flanders, among those gay volunteers who entered the trenches to the musk of violins, amid showed the same gaiety in the field of battle es in the ball-room. - On his return, though covered with glory, Mademoiselle de Pons seemed to look coldly on him, and objected (like an unreasonable woman) to the duration of his suit with Ma dame de Bossu, as if, either in France, Rome, or else where, a law-suit can end when a lady is tired of it. Guise, spurred by her reproaches, and fancying that his agents were remiss in his interests, declared his resolution of setting out instantly to Rome, and using his personal in terest with the Pope to hasten the conclusion of his divorce. But his jealousy made it a condition that during his ab sence Mademoiselle de Pons should retire to a convent, which the lady. regarded as a considerable sacrifice. This was in the autumn of 1646." " Mozart" is an animated biographic sketch of that great composer, more especially of his younger days. The subject is scarcely new, nevertheless it is well worked out. One trait of character is worth noticing. " Mozart was rather vain of the proportion of his hands and feet, but not of having written the Requiem or the Don Juan." We can readily understand this feeling : it is strictly in accordance with one of the commonest peculiarities of human nature. All the world admired Mozart's music ; it could not, therefore, increase his vanity to tell him that it was excellent ; such praise, by frequent repeti tion, bad become stale to him, like the homage to which a king is subject from his youth.— With regard, however, to his " hands and feet," these points interested him personally as a man whose company was every where courted ; he had long since seen the advantages of a good appearance, and was anxious—if only for no velty's sake—to be admired as a man, as well as a composer. It is from a feeling similar to this that a mother frequently dotes upon a deformed child, whom none but herself can be found to appreciate, in preference to her handsome off spring, whom all her acquaintance admire.— Hieroglyphics," like its subject, is puzzling and as we ourselves belong to the family of Davus not CEdipus, we shall use our privilege of discreetly passing it by. " Lord Byron and M. Casimir Delavigne" is 'a contrasted criticism on the merits of the " Faliero" by these two authors. Of course the preference, and we think deservedly so, is in every respect given to the English dramatist. " Ercilla's Araucana" is an analysis of a Spanish epic poem, by Don Alonzo de Ercilla, on the subject of Philip the Second's invasion of the Chili Araucanians in the year 1554. From the specimens of transla- tion adduced, we should conceive it to be more curious than amusing. " The Black Sea and the Caucasus" teems with pertinent and well digested information as regards these Russian provinces, which, according to the Reviewer, wear the yoke of St. Petersburg!' with the same ease and readiness that a spirited half trained colt wears the bridle rein. He adds— " There is no part of the Russian dominion so vulnerable as the Caucasian provinces. In the country between the Caspian and Black Seas, the Mahomedan tribes are the most numerous and independent. They are interposed be tween Russia and its Georgian province; and if they could be brought to combine their operations, might easily cut off all communication between them. The Russian for tresses in the Caucasus are of the most contemptible kind, ' from which we may conclude,' says 111. Gamba, ' that the Russians bear the same relation to the Turks and Per sians, which the English bear to the Hindoos.' But it is not from the contempt with which they regard their ene mies, that they are satisfied with forts of loose bricks or rough paling ; it is because they actually want the means of erecting better. While attacked on the frontiers of Georgia they are zealously supported by the people of that country, who are the inveterate enemies of Turks and Persians; but a war kindled in the heart of the Caucasus would infallibly shake to the ground an authority which is but loosely established. Sueh a scheme of operations, how ever, could not be put in execution, unless the Turks and Persians were to act with more concert and energy than is to be expected from their enfeebled state, or their ancient animosity." Of Sinope—that famous Sinope, which Dio genes and Burke have both damned with so much heartiness, the Reviewer gives a very flat tering account. "It has a deep and capacious harbour,—the finest timber in the world grows in its vicinity,—and the district of the interior, with which it immediately communicates, is one of the most productive and industrious in Asiatic Turkey." With the remaining articles our necessarily contracted limits compel us to make short work. Enough to say that they are none of them below par, and that " The History of the Knights TQmplars," to those who are curious in such matters, will be found abun dantly entertaining. Altogether the number is a very superior one, and deserves the large circu lation that we understand it has attained. The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived in town yesterday afternoon from Walmer Castle, Kent. Earl BATHURST, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had a confer ence with his Grace, after his arrival, at his residence in Downing-street. Earl BATHURsT arrived i❑ town yesterday From his seat at Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The Danish and Sardinian Ministers, and Viscount STRANGFORD, transacted business on Friday at the Foreign Office. The Right Hon. STRATFORD CAN NING transacted business at the sante office on Saturday. THE GARRICK PAPERS.—It is pretty ge nerally known that Mr. COLBURN has had in his possession, for two or three years, the Private Correspondence of DA VID GARRICK, with the most celebrated persons of his time, which he purchased of the Executors of Mrs. GARRICK ; and we understand that he has determined to commence their publication forthwith, in his new Weekly Paper,. The Court Journal. So curious and important a eollec-, tion of private letters, we are as sure d , h as never before b een suffered to meet the public eye.

The trades people of their Royal Highnesses diced together at Hamp ton and Teddington, to commemorate the event. Both parties were presented with venison fur the entertainment by the Duke of CLARENCE. The Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE came to town on Saturday morning from their residence in Bushy-park. The Princess SoentA visited the Duke and Duchess, and was accompanied by the Duchess on her re turn to her apartments in the King's Palace, Kensington.

We are happy to know that the Portuguese question will now be speedily set at rest. There can be little doubt but that in a very short time, we might almost say a few days, the Court of France will send a Minister to the King of PORTUGAL. Should this be the case, Eng land will follow the example, and we should rather sup pose Lord SraANGroan will proceed to Lisbon early in Septe►Rlier._John Bull. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNAL. The suspicious conjectures and alarming ru mours'igurrent among our neighbours, respecting the recent change in their Ministry, groundedion the exertion of foreign influqice ) in order to pro duce a change in the ford pitilicy of France, we have repeatedly denounced as at once mis chievous and ridiculous. The very person now at the head of the French Cabinet has been the cordial negotiator of all those treaties, and the willing subscriber to all those protocols, on which the triple alliance acted during the sway of his predecessor, by which the Morea has been cleared of its Mussulman oppressors, and by which a French and English Ambassador are now at Constantinople, to complete the work of Greek independence. Is it likely that lie would accept of higher office to undo his own work— to stultify his own exertions ? But as the Court of France, without any immediate ne cessity, apparent to the world, in the state of its foreign relations, has thought proper to substitute a purely Royalist Adininistra tion popularly obnoxious, for a Royalist Ca bineel with liberal tendencies,—discarded, as it sVoUld seem, on account of those very ~, 1, tenom;:zes,—it must purpose now to pursue a conrae of t";ternal policy, di ff erent in some re spects. , . the iie from lm of t a t ff ra a t i r : vi n a i c 3 n : y i r. a .i...e, s s., ti b ec e d e infe7cfmidoi disposition w olse e i d tio s i i i ii c t( e ) unpo pular hands of Villeie. characte ristic of the late Cabinet was . make " concessions" (as they are ci;!led) to the spirit of the age—in other words, to extt:rid po pular rights, or to increase the guarantees l'or popular institutions. The motto of the new iviinistry, as announced by what is suppbsed to be their leading organ, is " No farther conces sions—no surrender.' The Ministry which has just. .n dAinissed, during the first year of their sway, elferilled the freedom of the press, abolished the discretionary power of re-establishing the censorship, and abrogated the hateful law of tendency, as respected the journals. The same Ministers likewise fortified the electoral rights of the nation by securing the purity of the electoral lists against the frauds of the local authorities ; and,finally,by their ordinances on education, they relieved society from the encroachments of the Jesuits and the bugbear of clerical domination. These are improvements or tranquillizing measures of which the new Cabinet are not likely to at tempt the overthrow, as the same manifesto which has announced " no concessions" has rounded the device by adding, " no re-action." But the late Cabinet had not ended its chapter " of con cessions." They had introduced, at the opening of last session, a great measure for securing the local interests of the provinces against the arbi trary interference of the general government ; or, in other words, for organizing a more popular ad ministration of municipal and departmental affairs, by vesting the nomination of communal and provincial councils in bodies of local elec tors instead of the Crown. This most important bill, the popular provisions of which were perhaps extorted from the Court by the necessity of satis fying the demands of the Chambers, was hastily withdrawn, on the pretext that some proposed amendments of the Liberals had altered its nature ; and certainly nothing could evince a more foolish obstinacy on the part of the Liberal party than to hazard the retraction of so momen tous a concession, on the mere question whether the proposed quota of electors was too small, and whether, instead of 40,000, they should not have been raised to 80,000. But a hope was still held out by the Ministry, that though the Bill of last Session was withdrawn, a similar measure might be prepared during the recess, and next year be presented to the legislature under happier aus pices. The creation of a new cabinet out of a party which resisted the original project with as much violence as its amended provisions, may, however, be deemed to give the death-blow to any anticipations of the kind. In this respect the Crown, by its announcement of " no con cessions," is suspected by the French liberals to have got rid of its promises as well as its ser vants. All this, however, is merely negative— it would only lead us to believe that the Court desires to arrest the legislative machine in its present career, and with its present direction ; but the party out of which the Ministry is formed cannot be satisfied with such a limited range of action. We have already pointed out as extremely probable some attempted alteration (though not in the way of re-action) in the age of admissibility to r the Chamber of Deputies, by which some of the Lamarques and Pompieres may be made to give place to younger and less prejudiced members. Another change in the constitution of the second Chamber, which, if the new Ministry can maintain their ground, will doubtless be attempted, will be an increase in the number of Deputies returned by the wealthier class of electors. At present the elec tive Chamber consists of 430 Deputies—not nearly the amount of Members in the House of Commons of England before the Scotch and Irish unions, when our population did not ex ceed a fourth of that of constitutional France at this moment. This body being sent to the Chamber by two different classes of elector€, those of departments and arrondissements (the latter including all who pay 121. sterling in direct taxes, and the former of one• fourth of the whole who pay the highest rate above this sum), par takes generally of the feelings and views of their respective constituency. The great majority of the Royalist Members are returned by the higher colleges, while the Liberal force is chiefly recruit ed by the votes of the lower. By adding, there fore, two Members for each department to be sent to the elective assembly from the depart mental colleges, the Royalists might expect to recover their ascendancy without electoral frauds or Government corruption ; and no greater breach would be made in the Charter than was effected under De Caze's Ministry in 1840,_ when precisely the same measure was adopted. We mention this as an extremely probable ex periment, without presuming, as foreigners, to deliver any opinion with respect to its wisdom or practicability. On the policy of another point, though apparently more abstruse, we have less hesitation, because it must be decided on principles which are not peculiar to any particular people—we mean the necessity (if monarchical institutions are to be preserved under the control of a constitutional government in France) of making some change in the law which directs the succession to property.
