The humour and imagina liaise our countrymen in corn-positions of this mature, enable them to challenge ti compatiwn with:troy fdreign authors of a similar description., It reay.alsoibe said, ito:thelonolr of our country men, that, with few exceptions, the works of 'imagination of this kind have generally tended to sthe `advancement .-virtue, as -well to the delineation of character and the . general representation of human life.

The present Work, so -far as it has .pro (ceeded, manifests taste and judgment in selection, Wfii4l.may be trendily 'conceived, - if, as we have been -assured, it is under the judicious superin lenderice-of Sir WALtrEtt Scow. The, poetical works of that gentleman have desetvedly rais ed him - to a 'very 'high rank in 'the regions of British literature, and if he is " the :C;R.LAT, UNKNOWN," to whom the celebrated- Novels "which 'have of late years contributed so much . !to -the gratification -of lire world at large, 'it may fairly be inferred that 'the 'future selections - Will he equally characterized -by judgment and taste.

These_ qualities are strikingly conspicuous in the 'life-of Mr. CHAIII,II3-jOHNSTONE, the au thor of the last woik,und 'furn'ishes - mere geece respecting him than has hither't'o been gene rally 'known.

Bibliographical . and Literary .Aneedotes., with this ruvrat:---' The Author's intention was to draw general characters ; there fore, on the application of the Key,,the reader must exercise own judgment'." We have never seen this work, but it is obvious, from the nature and substance of -ellissui, that the .purpose of the author was not merely to draw general characters but, to paint flying indivi duals of the time. We remember to 'have 'read an edition of Chrssal, that 'belonged to an old Circulating Library whicit appeared to have passed through as many hands as the sap posed Cittpla him3elf, pn the margin of which :many of the clia racters were designated 'by the se yerul it eaders,and we are perauaded thut there are many now alive who were conversant with 'the s;:c&tes ;:cpresented, aria %tic, could assign 'to the =several agents their participation in the events that are recorded. _ We wish that some of oar iutelligent Correspondents would favour us with their 'knowledge on the subject, and we have little doubt. of 'being then able ,to illus trate a work which is calculated to afford improvement as well as instruction by the force of its satire-against vice and folly, and the ex 'tent of its general information.

The former mode of procedure is more lenient, as the Magistrate possesses a discre tionary power of. lining the parties from one pound to five, or confining them in the House of Correction for a term of one, two, or three months. This latter course is the one commonly recommended by the , Magistrates, as it is .gene.. nilly known that offences of this character are "the effect of temporary distress., . and committed without any Otintemplation of fraud.

" Head-Quarters, Orcoyen, Sept. 18. I informed your nuellency, in my report of the 14th, of the opening of the trenches'on the 10th before the citadel of Pampelurta: this first operation having entirely succeeded, I directed my attention to the erection of batteries, and suspended ihe labours of the engineers who'were ready to proceed beyond the parallel. "'The artillery had great diffictilties to &ermine. The rain had made tie roads so bad, that the conveyance of the cannon and all the train was difficult. The artillery.men, with theirusual 'zeal, worked night and day in erecting batteries in the trenches under the fire of the citadel. Iln concert with General BouCher,. I had especially endeavoured to direatheprinelpal preparations for the attack, to batter all 'the parts of the front attacked with 50 cannon, 16 or 'l2.pountlers, in II batteries, independently of, 31 mortars or howitzers; and 15 bateriesrfreviously erected. 'On the 45th, the enemy had redoubled his tire to destroy the'new batteries that were erecting, and even succeeded in damaging two of them. Notwithstanding these obstacles, all was ready in time, and !tottered the 'firing to begin on the Pith, in the • morning. In the night attire 46th, the eugincershaving workmen. at their disposal, completed various operations (whi c h are describ ed) to facilitate the attack. ' " On the lath, at day-break, the combat commenced between o ur artillerymen and those of the garrison. The superiority of our fire over that of the place, which .was balanced at the first. was soon manifest. Before 9 or 10 o'clock, most of the ets. brasures of the citadel were damaged ; those of the Arran!' tavalier of the Royal bastion ennobled to pieces as it were mule: our fire : every shot in the stone-work had the iflect of grape - shot, from the splinters of the stones. 1n our trenches,.on the' contrary, our epauletnents resisted, and though many Irani, Struck, yet most of them were buried in the earth, without doing mischief. The enemy began to answer the fire less vigor.' ously, having, as we have since learnt, already a great num ber of gunners hors de combat. Ours increased their efforts in proportion, and constantly fired with precision,, without preci pitation or confusion. The result of such a contest could not long be doubtful. The silence of the citadel slackened our fire, which soon ceased entirely, for want of aliment. About , .4wer o'clock the Spanish flag was hoisted on a part of the rampart whence it was easily to be seen ; soon after it was re• placed by a white flag. I gave orders to 'cease the fire every where, but to continue the works in the trenches. In the night, an important communication was, in fact, effected, and loop holes were made before the bead of the aig-zags, to place there, two together, some chosen marksmen, with orders to keep up a constant fire on the gunners of the place. These precautions, which might have proved not useless, became so by the event. Gen. Dahnemont, commander of the trenches, sent me id the evening a letter from the' Governor, who desired to send to me officers with a flag of truce, to treat of a capitulation. ' I replied that I was ready to receive them.-- After some explanation, I sent them back to the town the chief of my staff, Major-General St. Cyr N'ugues, whonr I charged With my instructions and my full powers to conclude and sign. He returned On the 17th, in the morning, with the capitulation which I have had the bormur to send to your Excellency, signed in duplicate. But by virtue of my' orders, and of the last article, be caused, aa to: left the place, the gate of Secours, Of the citadel, and'of IA Tactment, to be occupied by some Chosen companies. I have since sent a battalion into the citadel. General Daitirement establishes order in the city, and prepares barracks fur the entrance of our troops. The garrison, who are prisoners of war, amount to 3,400 men. without loss of time, send It, under a good escort to St. Jean Pied de Port. I have made it lay 4.43W11 Its anris. My preceding reports bay ing been addresaed to' your Excellency, it will be easy for you i to judge of the whole of the operations of the siege of Pampe lune, which was preceded on - the Sclof September by a brilliant action of infantry ; commenced on the 10th, by opening the trenches in a manner that does }mow to the engineers ; ter. urinated on the lath by a tire of artillery vigorously and skill fully directed, which destroyed in a few hours the defences of the place. Against is more numerous garrison, anti which might have hoped for succour, our army, notwithstanding our im mense trader iel in artillery, could certainly not have•undertaken the siege. The infantry, by its Seal and valour, . has made up ;for all we wanted. I can say, that.the troops of every descrip tion have merited my praise and ,the approbation of his Royal Highs ess the Prince fieneral.inbehier.Ac ce p t , " The Mamba' Cononander-W-Chief of the Fifth Corps of the Army of the Pyrenees, (Signed) ".

They were terrified at the development of our trench,and - cluilhed by our-artillery, the fire of whiCh was such, that in four hours it forced the garrison of the citadel and all the gunners to take re- . (lige in the town, abandoning loaded guns, some of which were even primed, and which they had not dared to discharge. Seven. bombs fell on the powder magazine, which was happily proof, but all the other buildings are very much damaged. As the embrasures of the citadel are fated with stone, every bill that struck one, wounded several of the gunners and attendants. — According to the report of the Spanish officers of the garrisOn, the signal gun was so well dircted'tbat it killed three gunners at their piece.—Accept, &c. ":Marshal LAORISTON." Irlere follow two dispatches, one from Marshal Moncey,and :he oilier 'from General Rottemberg, to the Ministeiof 'War, relative to the surrender of the Spanish division of 2,000 com- Manded by Brigadier Fernandez, who, having been foiled in all his endeavours to reach Figteras, capitulated on the 10th to General Dams. There was some difficulty about 120 de serters, to whom General Damas, to prevent futther effusion of blood, promised their lives, but nothing more.] The Journal d r Debats Rives the following intelligence in a !Otter from :Port St MaTy., dated Sept. 14 The Prince Gene??lissino, who went to'Cliiclana to inspect the batteries and the preparations - for an attack onSanti-Pietri, has returned here to hasten the completion of the formidable batteries which are constructing at the point of the Matagorda and the Isle of St. Lotus in order to destroy Puntales. It appears that the Ministry is changed at Cadiz. It is said that the new 111initner for Foreign Affairs has again had re course to Sir W. VCourt, to whom he addressed, at Gibraltar, a melanCholy epistle . on the situation of Cadiz. Sir William s communicated to the Duke of A.ngoldeme the new propositions made by the besieged, but his Royal Highness replied that .it was no* too ktte, and that he had henceforth resolved; though with regret o to take by force what he had not bees'able to ob tain by rep/on. Admiral Doperre is expected between the 15th and the 20th, and limo ediately 'on his arrival the gene - pit attack will take place. The Madrid r latelte is quoted for the number of French troops which have entered Spain by the way of Trun,and which is stated to be-9 . 5,780. Or this number, 161 are stated to have returned to France in liealth, and 686 sick. The number el Spanish prisoners sent into France is said to 'tie only 287. The artillery which entered by this frond is said to consist' of 109 pieces of cannon, I and 35 howitzers. _ The Restaurador hes published the following list of the French fleet before Cadiz, viz.t— Sures or TILE Liam—The Centaure, of il6 guns, 38 and 24 pounders; the Colosse, 80; the Trident, 80. FRIGATES.—The Guerriere, 60 guns, 36-pounders ; the Venus, 68; the Antigone, 44 ; the Galatie, 44 ; the Nereide, 44 ; the Thentis, 41; the Cybele; 44.

To this list are to be added the gun:.boats, bomb, and howitzer vessels, making altogether more than 200. All these light vessels mount guns of large calibre, calculated to silence the enemy's fire. It is . stated, on the authority of the Restau rador, that the capitulation concluded between IV/olitor and nallasteros has been annulled by the Duke of Angouleme, on account of the defection of the troops of the latter ) and their readiness to join ltiego.

We have at a late hour this forenoon received by Express the .toile of Thursday night, and the .Pilate of 'yestrday, extracts from which are subjoined, We have also received the Paris Papers of Wednesday, the chief contents - of • which will be Tound in our preceding columns. The French now say that the question will he terminated., not by the capture of Cadiz, but by the taking of the fort of Puntales.— Alltheir great preparations, therefore, it would :HOW appear, are to be directed ut the first place against that position alone. After they shalt have taken the Puntalos (supposing diem to but:• teed in that enterprise), they seem to think that the idea of further resistance on the part of the Constitutionalists be destroyed-, and the " question settled" to their satisfaction ! They may find that they have formed both of these cal. culations on erroneous data.—The Pantales is not defended ) like the Trocadere, by a mere iii iat, four or five feet in depth. It is not so easily taken, therefore, nor is its capture quite so certain as the French imagine. 'But even if it should fall (the possibility of which we do not mean to deny) ) does it so certainly follow that Cadiz must also, fall, or that . the Constitutionalists in that city must sink down in despair under the toss of an outwork ? The city of 'Cadiz itself is capable" of a long and success. fel resistance; and as for the brave men within it, they seem to have formed the unalterable re. solution rather to perish beneath its ruins than to submit to the dishonourable demands of their enemy.--The affair of Risco and BALL%STEROS is still enveloped hi mystery. We fear that the former has been taken-prisoner ) thougbeven that fact stilt rests only on doubtful authority, and though no rational or consistent account has been given of the means by whic,h he could have been 'rendered - a: fugitive. As for BAL., LASTFROS, the SuppNnent to the Madrid nestaurador of the 17th, asserts that his famous Capitulation has been annulled bi the Duke oi AlNicouLLstE, in consequence of the " defection of his troops, and of their - junction with those of RUG° !" This is a singularly lame story! Be cause many (we suspect nearly the whole), of BALLAsTruos's troops . have gone over to -1 therefore- the submission of BALLAS TEItos. himself and of his remaining followers is fejected, and they are: set at perfect 'li berty to return to the Constitutional cause also But the very last accounts asserted ,that two of Ruco's squadrons, had gone over to BALLASTEROS', and that the natter had sub sequently placed himself in communication with Mor,rron! Does it not app ear to be the truth, that BALLASTEROS and his wh o l e ar my are once more under the Constitutional banners? Perhaps Eao,having effocted this change,and having rein forced ..BALt,Asi.caos with his own ,corps of four or five thousand men, and having been well assured of BALLAsTEROS's sincerity, left him in the chief command of the army thus formed, and was endeavouring to return to Cadit with three or four attendants, or to prodeed to . some 'other . rituifter where his pre. ; tion. seine niiglit 'be of ser v ice, when s he: was tin fortunately 'recognized and taken rrisoner by some =peasants. We . throw out this idea as a mere conjecture ; bet it - certainly appears to us -to be the only way of solving . the riddle of the French accountsit dof eliciting front them somet;lng like win enigible fact:--L'On the other hand, it is probable that the alleged capture . of ftlEoo is altogether false. It was asserted with as much confidence that 'LAI-As had been treated as a'criutinal by IttEco,—that he had 'threatened to shoot him when lie em 'barked from Nlalaga,—and that he had . • nominiously thrown him into 'the. hold of his ship. Yet the last accounts from 'Gibraltar announoe, that this very Z.l VAS Bail gone with QUIROG.t, and several . other Constitutional Ofßcers, into Cadiz .! The- degree of posi - - tiveness, therefore, with which the French advance their assertion F.., i., by no means an evidence of their truth. la the affair of Ba.t.LasTettosand Rico° they have at the present moment it poiverfill motive for employing mist 'representation and falsehood. The capitulation of Santona deOnds upon the report of an ()Ricer wbo has' been 'sent to Madrid. for the purpOse of inquirinz into the truth of the alleged submission of BALL:kSTk.IIos, COrtllll3lq Vigo, Szc.--Thce officer, with the consent of the blockading force, left Santona on the 15th, and was to return on the "6th. If he' reports in the affirmative on the. subjects of his the fortress is immediately to surrender.—lt is of importance to the French, therefore; that it shoUld 'be believed in Madrid that Bat- LASfEROS has not only submitted, but that Amon's force has been routed and totally dispersed, and himself taken prisoner. The Duke 'of ANGOULEME could' not be aware of the nature of, the arrangement before, Samoa% when he - issued his Act for au- nulling the capitulation of BALLASTEROS ;' and the Editor Of the Restaurathir has, perhaps, by his bungling spoiled all, in letting out the-- secret of- a. measure which pro . ves either. that BALLASTEUOS has no army, or that he and his army are again arrayed against the ene.;' mien of their country (—The folloWing are 'exa tractsfrom the Papers received by our Express:— [From the Etoik of Thursday Night.] (RAND lINAD-QUARTERS.
