Of, whom can it be s a id,b u t o f the writers in th e Edinburgh Review, that " they assume a natural superiority over you, as if, being of a different party, . you were of an i n f er i or spec i es, and juatly - liable td be tortured, worried, and bunt e d to death like any other vermin ?"„ These are hard words but we apprehend that they can only be ap plied faithfully, and truly, and literally, to that publication horn which they are extraCted,..;•" I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that. word."

SUCCESS OF THE INDEPENTIENTS IN BRAZIL, • ,Front the Edl4,itrgh Observer.) In thii.literary vacation we have turned our eyes to The Edit:burl:4'h Review. Having observed that erne of the articles in the hist number bore the alarming , title of The Periodical Press," We opened it with more haste and curiosity than this publication now generally excites. We confess the perusal of this article to which our eeprii de seeps naturally first led us, surprised and disappointed us. We were disappointed by the dullness and want of talent which uniformly pervade it; and we were surprised at the .toe in which the refined journalist praises his friends; and abuses his foes. Before offering any remarks •on this article (which suggests abundance of them), we must zanterve that the learned author, in the midst of his own critical career, loudly and vehemently protests against any criticisms being made upon him hi turn. He is very well pleased to lash all around him, as smartly and as tgappishly as he eau; but no one 'is to dare to find fault with what he may think proper to sit. No one, however se. verely -he -may have been treated, os however falsely he may have been slandered, is to be at liberty to reply or to retort. " We consider this article as an exception to Our general rules of criticising, and protest against its being turned itose a prece dent; fur if oti several contemporaries were to criticise one another as a constant habit, there would be no end of the re-, s eated reflections," &c. That is to say, "we think it very fair and reasonable that we should be indulged in one general and sweeping criticism on our contemporaries, but it would be quite ridiculous for any of them to notice or to imitate us."— So - trutch for the love of juktice and fair play in this 'artist learned reviewer.

A General Meeting of the Propiietors of this Institution took' place Op Friday evening atabthe Society's Rooms,. No. 11',i13ridge-street, Black friars, for the ptirpose of takinginia,consideratiou the Report of the Committee, laid before Meeting of Proprietors cin the 4th inst.. 31r. Aldernian KEi having been called Co- the Cliaii,(sup'.; ported on his left bytie Sheriff elect (31i. Whittaker), Mr. JEl•tmil..ton (the Hon. i!iocretary) then proceeded to read the Report, for the consideration of r'hich the present Meeting had been called. _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. ATTWOOD SYWrit begged to call the cifehtiouif the Meeting to the fifth paragraph of the,Report, in whicllityras, stated, that the Committee had been given to understand that they must (Flit the apartinenia then occppled by the Society on the 29th September next : it .would therefore he necessary to take other apartments, or a ho far jar the accom.. modation of the Society. The Committee t d' bien in treaty for a house for the purposes of the .soniety, but it had been let to another tenant; he had, hoWever, the. pleciru' re cf in forming the Meeting, that a Gentleman then present; Who held the lease of a suitable house in Chatham-place, hrid handsomely offered it to the Committee for the purposes of the Institution, although if was knot; it migh be ,:'old for a" considerable premium.—This offer had been most thankfully' received by the Committee, who Were ndiv of opinion that the. number of proprietors was suffident for the permanent ests blishment of the Institution, add a resolution atthorizipg that body to proceed in taking those premises viould' he found embodied in the series which it Was his intention to abbmit to the meeting. With respect to the finances of the Institution, had great pleasure in stating, that every engagement of the So. ciety owing on the 7th July had been subsegnerply discharged, therein now accruing being the only existine pecuniafr gagement. Ile then called the attentiern of the fneeting to the' following paragraphs of the report. " Your Committee are happy to *tad that the present pplif-, ber of proprietors, including of 24 gentlemen who had tigfeed to take additional shares, amounts to more than - 218 ; making in the whole, an increase of about 60 since the last t3eneral Meeting. This number, although short of that'originally pro. posed and hoped for, approaches near to that by which your Committee conceive a respectable, though not large Institu tion may be formed ; with from 22U to 250, your Corinnittee have_no doubt of success. " Your Committee have not been unmindful of the forbia-' tion of a library; but they also know, that nothing shrift of calling for the remainder of the de sit-step guineas; Could enable them to abtain this object. While they regret it they are compelled to state that they do not acts think it advisable or'prudent to call for this money until ellAible premises are obtained; but they are not without great bbpes that, at Mi chaelmas next, the Society will hive made so Much . progress in its numbers, that adequate premises be' proeuxed for the Library, the members generally will be disspbSed cheerfully' to pay their remaining instalment." Upon the first df these .a calculation bad been trAide, and was , embodied in his resolutions, showing the sufficiency of assets, for the necessary disbursements of the Institution . . The other., paragraph spoke for itself—and, as the Committee had acted upon the motto glfeli them by their venerable co-adjutor, the Chamberlain of London, " Pest ind Mae," up to the moment when the slowness of their prodeedinn had insured the perma nence of the Institution, he was confident the meeting would now most willingly second their eXertions. The worthyVen tteman then gave a detailed statement of the probable income and expenditure of the Institution, front which its prosperity and permanence appeared undottbted.—The following resolu tions were then passed : Resolved, Ist—That it is desirable to proCeed immediately to the establishment ofthis institution, by the procuring of a . select and useful library, and adequate premises for its recep- - tion, and for the general purposes of the Society. 2d. That the Committee be therefore authorised to procure a house in or near New Bridge-street, for the purposes of this, institution, and that; if necessary, they do advertise for the same. _ _ . ••3d. That no such house being obtained, the Committee be empowered to call for the remainder of the amount of the shares subscribed. 4th. That the COmmittee prepare a code of bye-laws for the government of the Institution. 6th. That this Meeting, at its thing, do adjpurn until the first Friday in October next, to receive the Report of the Com mittee on the matters above referred to them. fith. That the present Committee of this Institution remain in full force until the next General Meeting, early in October, and then that fresh Committees or Managers be appointed by ballot.—Carried unanimously. 7. That the best thanks of this Meeting, be most cordially given to the able and active Generil Coninnttee of the Society. Mr. GYFP . ORD then moved—" That every Proprietor have the right of joining the General Committee, and. of acting as' one of that body, it he should think proper to do." The Motion being seconded, Mr. HAN saup watmly' opposed the principles of what he considered a very extraordinary motion. Ile was at a loss to conceive a measure of more 6:attain danger" to the Institution,. and he could not for a moment doubt its unanimous rejection. Mr. Sheriffeleet Wit ITTAirlt, Mr. SiCulgliEltS, Mr. A-vr wool) Sau'ru, and several other Members, expresssed their disapprobation of the motioni. which witrfinally disposed of by an• amendment. Mr. Alderman hey having left the Chair; it was moved and resolved unanimously," That the cordial Thanks of this Meet ing be and they are hereby presented to, Mr. Alderman Key, for his kind attention in presiding over this Meeting, and his able and'impartial conduct in the Chair. Mr: Alderman KEY expressed his . acknowledgmentslor the hotiour conferred Upon him and after - descanting .upon the utility of the Institution, pleged his exertions for thapromo tion of its interests. We cannot conclude our reportof tha proceed ings of this flourishing Institution without additag our hearty congratulations on the fair prospects of success which are now opened for it. We have anxiously' watched its progress hitherto, and sure we are, that the energetic yet discreet mea sures which its Directors have taken, will obtain for this respectable Literary Society a rank among the institutions of the metropolis to which pit is every entitleth. The trst ten pages of this article are exceedingly laboured and dull. The whole burden of the revieWeris song, and the object of every remark which these ten pages contain, is simply this, that it is a most . proper thing to write and to read reviews; .and that "this age is the most enlightened,' the most chi.' `heed, and the most learned age that the world has evef yet seen, because in it Reviews arc sought and encouraged. whilst all other sorts of learning are neglected or overlooked. We are not going at. present to battle on this point with the re viewer; but we must say we think many of hid observatiims are ridiculous, and many of his deductions parichixical and untrue. But however this may be, we look upon it as one of the (host faint " Signs of the Times," that the Edinburgh Rale*, that high and honoured and established name, should now„. in its oTtl age, be Obliged te argue for its utility, and seek, in laboured liteubrations, for a prop to its reputation, and an extension of its sale.. What a sad change is this from that fiery and fosrless spirit of, independence which glowed in the yottthful days of the ,Edinburgh .Revisit And how must it pain the shaded bf those liivenile heroes, if they can learn that their places have been so miserably supplied, and that their successors are glad to flatter the public; like hungry; Mendi cants, instead of gUiding their taste, and dictating td them with pert and overhearing superiority. -llaving laded through the. mass of introductory matter, we at last aretie it lieges where the names Of our contempbraries shi•he in large ant, ornamental capital's. Here we are fiest irk- troduced to the It. Jantes'i Chronicle, aild we learn the very eipluable and satisfactory intelligence, that the Reviewer, " un. thiX to be the oldest existing paper in London."—, Raving relieved himself of this important fact, he proceeds tti the lifor'rtng Chronicle, which lie says, " is, or was at least, at the head or the new school."—This is a very significant and candid parenthesis. Whatever may have been the merit of the 11, Tontine Chronicle, there is no •41tbt that now its day . corn. and its fory are gone by ; and,accordifigly, we find that all the co endations whith are here lavished %Mon.:this favotirite oracle Whiggery,f . are bestowed on the ilfornimg Chrorack, not as it is noW corrducted, Lift in it was conducted some half dozen years tiAti: NVe.,:lere always inclined to regard Mr. nifty with feelings, of respfet.

In a few days, perhaps before this letter leaveii .the "Part, ity predictions, I . expect, will be fully verified. It h' said., that Labatour, has been"skprisoncr to Rio.

" O ,the 18th, the ProVisional Junta of Bahia, issued the following proposidons to General binder:ls, leaving, as far as T can learn, the, execution of them to his discretion:— " fst.-:-That the whole coast of the hay, in the possession of the Brazilians, Should be attacked with as great a force as he can coffee' t. " 2nd. That the Portuguese squadron should blockade the Mona, And take all the enemy's vessels that may be there. " ' 3d. That the Commander of the Portuguese squadron should send a sufficient force to attack Andraptuie the enemy's vessels of war, principally giin-hoatti, at Trafrica. " 4th.

" J uxL 22.-=The Council of Bahia yesterday determined on the evacuation of the place ; the day haul is the 29th, but at pxesent sufficient prOvnions cannot be obtained to serve the voyVe to Europe. This circumstance will probably oblige them to make an unconditional capitulation. " I have just heard that, by .atlvices received at Rio Janei ro, Lima is again in .possession of the Royalists.
