MR. CANNING. Very ere of 'the world, since the world was first softened out of the vigorous roughness of the, natural state luta the feebleness Of civilization, hits been pestered, in a greatc'r or lesser degree, 'by those pretenders, happily fen- in number, who, leaning only upon themselves, 'Outstrip the steady Pare of the honest intiltittole. The insulting su periority of those imposers, who fly as it were through men'S mouttas--virUra pro ora—has al- Ways been it poptdar annovunce. A Virtuous an cient immortalized himself by exposing this arro gance his mune was Zolds, and the name of the rpttist whom he pulled down was flouter ---against which floater it was the wdnt of Zoilus to pAlish choice paragraphs, Well leaded, in a Morning Newspaper at the Olympic Games . . Of the blood without bastardy Which owetl in the veins of his Grecian Ancestor, tt true-born des cendant of that great man, sets himself in a Morn lag Newspaper of our day, to pull down Mr. CANNING—who, whether he " Spouts" urn the Thames, or the Tagus, or the Garonne, seems Oyer-run with a constant conceit for exalting his Country. Nothing can be more praiseworthy than the attempt to curb the career of this " *Ovens curer," who appears in more .thittr one way, to tread in the footsteps of another of these pests, called Demosthenes. This Demosthenes was also an egregious " spouter" in his day: He did not " spout" accidentally at Boardeaux, but he went abort by design as an " itinerant," " spout ing " at Thebes, and in other foreign States, which had been as hostile to his own country, Athens, as France too often proved herself to the country of Mr. CANNING. With the vanity usual to such prattlers, the Athenian " spouter" strove to rouse in the neighbOuring nations a common resistance to their common enemy PiIILLIP. The English " spouter," big with the past and +nixie-sus for the future, takes occasion at a French festival to sow the seeds of peace and good-will between England and France—how infinitely to his oWn disgrace, and to the detriment of the two king doms, he who runt may read. Athens swarmed rail the race of Zoilus. A batch of his former babblings %l as served out to Demosthenes for his daily breakfast. There was an oppression in his name, which would have been intolerable ro flesh and blood, , without the relief afforded by those " diurnal reminiscences." Good old human Stature seldom requires a motive to this apes cies of assault. Profound, indeed, is the philo sophy by which logo solves his rancour to chaet Cassio— " He path a daily beauty in bis 4. Which makes me ugly." Had good haters and bad lovers-4; those who maintain, upon system, the subserviency of friendship to convenience, and that discord should be immortal, reprobated Mr. CANNING'S resump tion of i place among the connexions of his whole adult life. Such a duetrine would be notable chiefly lot its anomaly--.but the inge guity of the reproach, in this instance, is mark. ed by Its issuing from a quarter In which (albeit not quite without • reason) blintitia pla• iabiles, innieitiat sempiterna heeatni‘ a practical aphorism. The wonder is not the richness or the rarity of the accusation against Mr. CANNING fur rejoining Lord LIVERPOOL, his first Parliamentary as.oeiate (with whom and with whose colleagues Mr. CANNING at all times agreed upon almost every great measure of Government).-the proper marvel is " how the Devil" such an impeachment . should shoold come from the, blazoners of the alliance between Lords GREY and GRENVILLN—wito, as ell the world knows, never, had occasion to forget any political discrepancy, so Melodious had been their concord up to 1804. Not to shreds and patches, as in the case of Mr. CANNING'S 'speeches at Liverpool—not to implifiations or inferences. Would lie resort, who should des cant upon the league between the two Nobles ,a'ore.matned. Materials inexhaustible by all the Mums of all the morning reminders from Grub -street to Addle-hill, present themselves in the Par kfiamentary Ilegister—all possessing every critical requisite, front proem to peroration. And thitvis ;the '' regard" which makes the charm of the ar raignment. judging better than Mr. Catorr;o of what Tor Mr. CANNING is best, his consistent monitors inculcate upon him that wholesome axiom of which their own annals furnish such memorable demonstration, to wit—that every tbullit ion of party a sperity in a free state, should *Apply hi right honest ruttiest----with universal, literal unchangeable fitness —am all circumstances, anti to ail eternity.

It is, indeed. ttndeoWtle, that the c`riMination front such ,LA quarter is s be coining as the logic that supports it is sound. Mr. CANNINOIS loVe of place is proved by his haying formerly declined the higher oilice—his lust Of power by now accepting the lesser—and his dis like to his co-mates by sharing their fate. Upon the whole, it is deVOntly to be wished that these candid manteovies may spirit up Can didate to oppose "111 r.

Every enlightened man, every good prin ciple is interested in baling, in revery way, the proceedings of this " prater," who seems to pre: some more upon his talents and character than upon. his purse and pedigree. His humiliation in stooping to the government of fifty millions of people, is grossly aggravated by accepting that Mean trust tinder the earliest triend at his public life—whose Ministry of nearly four years has done so little for England and for the world, us the contrast of bOth, at both epochs, emphatically testifies \ and whose own arrogant demeanour, devoid Of good taste and good sense, is so sttict- ly in keeping with the inanity of his administra tion Sallust drew the character of Lord Liven.- Poor. near two thousand years since, in Six words.

Early in the year She was with Mr. Empeytas, n •Ge.. nevese ecclesiastic, at an inn ft Basle, where she set on. foot daily religious exercises ) for a circle chiefly composed of persons who had a reputation for piety. These exercises at first took place m her chamber but the number of her. audience increasing, Madame Krurlener was obligA to receive them,,in the largest room of the inn. The sittings commenced with mental prayer. Mr. Empeytas then repeated a prayer slim& and.pronottnced a well.artanged discourse, which closed with prayer, in which all present join. ed on their knees. After this act of worship, sonio select per:tens obtained a private audience of Med. Krualener: she teas seen .frequently on her knee*: in the innermost part of a dark chamber,in mantter4 resembling the ptlestess. During these e xereises she remained in silence and mnditation ~but she was eh'. Oiled in distinguishingthe persons who appeared to her mosttotiched, or to have the greatest need of change in their conduct or dispositions. It was to, such that she addressed private instruc tions in her chamber with so mach °action., that • she produced the Most striking change iii the con duct of 6oate young ladies of the first families, who placed at her disposal their pocket-money, which she distributed among the poor. .13m the fathers of these young women did not All of them share ill the enthusiasm of their daughters : sonic of them pretended that they neglected household affairs, i n proportion as their spiritual exercises multiplied At last, some persons having turned into ridicule and disturbed these exercises by scandalous scenes, the Government prohibited them, offering never. theless to Mr. Enipeytas, if he chose to take out a licence as an ecclesiastic, permission to preach its the Ftench 'church : but he quitted Basle, together with Madame linnlener, and endeavoured to te. establish their worship hi the vicinity. lit coarse. of time, the fervour of novelty having cooled, they rrpaired to Arun; where they resumed their exercises with •sneCeas ; the inhabitants of the .country flocked in ornivd*:to attend rhem.,: Ma' dame Krudener says prayers : in the•morning,•and , harangues the auditors in German ~ iu tisc„after. •• noon Mr. .Empeytaa preaches ho Freu4lt,boores more cultivated dais of hearers."
