" Baskets fall of bread and cheese, two stoups f o il of water, a jar full of whisky, and a trencher cti;l of glasses and tumblers were on tables-on the lakrn imln instant.. ," Come, dominie; say a grace,' said St. Clyde. The heart-sad man essayed, end pronounced sonic dozen of words which nobody could make out ; I.e ,was bilk(' with grief. Heaven on this occasion,' cried the Laird, takes the \t ill for the deed. Sergeant, we shall • drink, The health of his Majesty King George.' " The sergeant put his hand to his bonnet, and faein- the right about, Forty-second we drink our King's health.' After a little conversation b et ween c,,lin and the sergeant, the Laird press ed the recruits with a second glass, and Sergeant iNlaelteati, of his own accord, gave a toast.— ' Forty-second,' cried the loyal man, ' we drink TO the health of the Laird St, Clyde and his 'Fa tnily !' And • every glass was drained as thy as whistk.' " The Laird thanked the Sergeant, and Colin d he might be allowed to give the Men half it giiss mote. " 'Sergeant,' said 'Odin, two now drink, To the Forty-second Iloyal Highlawlers he sergeaut's bonnet -waved in the air, and three hurras crowned the toast. "li,ub. Roy struck up— " Adieu for a while, my native green plains, My nearest : relations, and neighbouring swains, , ' but nobody joined in the tone. - " I'll gar ye he fain to follow bins ' " The laird seeing some of the lads ,not dis posed to finish this third glass, cried out, Don't he air.tid, toy lads ; do ' as the lasses do, , say no, an and when the lads had drank off the spirits, thelto.4l ealkd each of the recruits to bins by Oatne, and shook Ininds with thent all, and hoped, when they all should return, in the garb or old Ganl, to hear that every lad among them had done his duty.' To the sergeant be said, Machean, I wish our King had but fifty thousand omen suet; as these.' pity melts the mind to love.' The sorrowful mothers were objects of the deepest concern to Mrs. St. Clyde; and %vhilkt her hus band regaled the men, she - and her daughters offered every thing their house could afford to thrse r oot• but industrious and respectable Women. 'When the sergeant ordered his men to prepare to noirfh, and the young fellows fell into some sort of h tenthly as the word was given, the snrit hers act up snail lamentations and Weeping that it wAs necessary for young St. Clyde to sop• pot his sisters, and the laird with difficulty cep , his wife from sinking to the earth whilst he ftS.Os!..d her in getting into the house. Coln; bad 11( ,, , if to take ti on - himself any authority ( St ; INlaebeau had thedoty of colonel, rtflintrant., and , sergeant to perform ; end never did in;.it show. more activity and devotion in the exe entbn:of his duty. " There were no more interruptions met with Call they -got to Rothsay, except that the recruits received a blessing at every door they passed 0.1 , the road ; for whether it were farm-house or cot ter's cabin that they passed, every human being caiint,out to take farewell of the lads, and to soothe the mourning hearts of their rehttions by a heavy deep (bon h or a flood of tears ; and before they-got into the town Colin St. Clyde came gal loping up to his men, and the hill on the right told to the loch that washed its eastern side, lb at " joy'd the men their Chief to see,' The ferny--boat was freighted-by some drovers, but the sergeant took' possession of her in the King's name, and forbade the terry-men to leave her, on pain of being sent to jail by St. Clyde for refusing to 'ferry over to Dumbarthn his Ma jesty's forty-s'econd Royal Highlanders ; and the sergeant would not stay'at the quay. The men had got enough ; fathers and mothers conic! not go 'any farther ; it was of no use to stay th e re; every mother embraced and kissed her son ; the little boys and girls clung to thd• arms of their brothers going to the wars ; the unhappy sisters and sweethearts were kissed by their bro thers and lovers, and; they weepcd and were kissed and wecped again. When the fathers of these young met) embraced theta, anti, looking up to heaven, prayed ' God's blessing to go wi' the lad the hearts of the skippers and people of Rothsay, who were on the quay merely as by. standers., were wrung. ,with the scene t and the' wretched tnothets raised such piercing cries and horrid shrieks, that the sergeant, to save a repeti lion of so nitwit misery, in the Xing's name calling hi' .en on board, ent the hawser with his sword, sand ordered the helmsmen to steer instantly frost, elie quay. " The boat now, stood oat in the bey some two hundred yards or, less, but the lOnd Ohon! the pions blessing and lung farewell,' passed swift as the vivid flame between the quay, the shore, and the ferry-boat: ; but ROb. Roy was playing rc My sager Caddie is over the end every heart most cordially said, " My , bleinlog gang wit ray auger lieldie!— Viiiist the distracted parents prayed, g Shield hint, ye angels ! fop tlett,thatl Alm cps, Return him wi' laurels to my longing arms.' " But Rob. Roy had not all the honour of the day, in mocking with music the tender sympathies of these distressed petipic.

The craigs ;Intl eaves at llogganny Point echoed the ftill swell of evrry:.voice on board. The quay was crowded, and the shore was lined with people ; and whed the wherry began to make the offing of the bay, and then to stretch for the opposite shore, the soul of every mother was in her and her eyes pursued the boat amidst the foamy billows. The talisnran of woe fled with the breeze ; and, by a silittiltaneous movement, every matt on hoard, and on 'the quay, and on the shore, - waved his bonnet or hat in the air.— The three hurray which followed, came in the must wild and etithosiastic peals, and, except in . one or two instances of ‘vidowed female grief, a gleam of resignation and content sat on every brow. " Now they are returning to their homes, tbrongh II) town 3 and the young lasses espe cially, possessing every thing to recommend their beauty, endear their softness, and give them the pre-eminence for, friendship, would justify the . Most pleasing reflections on the composition of their temper and attachment. " Cohn, after the departure of his recruits, , wrote a long letter to Levimgstone, giving him an account of his success io raising his coMple ment of toed ; and iii the same letter he gave a lung description of the recruits' first march. • " His letter concladed with- many reflections on the instability of human projects ; and, re ferring to the agreement to sale!' they had come of writing each during the vacation, Colin hoped,. that as there was no prospect of their beingfel low-students- any longer, their correspondence ‘vbithl not 'close ; but that they would continue to write a 9 friends. His letter was closed in these After this description of so much pa rental and filial love; in a scene where one might naturally expect to find the sire's breast locket! up against the very 'entrance of his son's itaine ; and when, too, one might expect to find the sons who could ,deliberately or rashly leave their homes, without much luipe of bettering their lot; when the wretched mother, moreover, might be' expected to be found armed, like a lioness robbed of her whelp—how is it, Levingstone, that we see the untutored rugged natures of these poor unhappy people embellished With the nicest sen sibility, tempered with delicacy ? To see so many souls intoxicated with so much affliction, but to behold the refractory and stubborn conduct of ,sons, whose formerinsensibilit y was stronger titan the ties of nature, producing a revolution of sym pathies that approached even to, illusion, Is a problem I shall leave you to solve.- " You must forgive me, in putting out of the qaestion; that these voting men have gone into the army that I might be a soldier. They could nut want the sense to know that they could not , nit serve. under nty immediate command. Death, exchange, p ro motioll, might in a day bercase them of their countryman avid Veader. " I um told that there is hardly a recruiting party leaves the Highlands, or indeed any part of our •native land Scotia, where the most afflict ing scents are not witnessed. ". Is it parting thus---is it tile retrospection of home, that in distant lands, on the mighty ocean, in the crowded' city, the tamp, and the battle's loudest thunder, preserves, without decay, the lively, strong, and enthusiastic love of Scotland and of countt yawn in the breasts of her sons ? Is it from this that our native warriors 'exhibit so much honour, fidelity, and unwearied prowess ? " The sergeant, of Whom I speak, is not a, tall man, nor is he stoutly made, but he is tough as a• hazel stick ; his' very muscles seem to be of svhalebone ; his countenance is placid, with a ' mixture of sternness and scorn ; .aod his rye' searches every corner of your heart : in company and in conversation he is affable, easy, and CCM - perate ; more given to hear and ask questions than to answer or prate. It was with difficulty, one, could get a tale of a battle from him hat the sternness and resolution he Showed when he ordered his melt ..on board, and the tire that flashed in his eyes when he drew his sword, told cut the rope which held the wherry to the quay, plainly indicated, as a poor silly lad p4esent ob served, that the decl was aye at the elbow o' Highland man ;' and poor Sandy Glass wondere& how the sania (linty ht Frenchmen wo'd bide to be looked at - by Sergeant Machean and his naked. claymore ?' " Can it be the ties of filial - affection so strong ly implanted in their breasts, that offers such true moral grantieur in all the toils which our country.. Men pass through ? Is it the ,hope Of returning home-with a name unsullied by crime ; or is it the dangers they are so frequently exposed to, that sublimei the sentiments, and elevates the :principles of such Men as Macbcan, whose feeling I of enmity and hostility appears to terminate with the battle /—whout we Tire, when his country's gltiry or defence summons, to be ferocious as the tiger, 'midst the horrors of strife and carnage. where . he evinces the most frigid and uusympa thetic caletilation of his personal danger, humbly, ► and unconscious of the respect with which he is viewed personally, falling on his kneei t and Cray log a benison !' and happy, if the brightness of Caledonia's name has not been tarnishd,by his neglect of the duties of a citizen, a son, a 8.01- slier, anti the name of Christian Having by this copious specimen enabled the Public to form Its own estimate of tin' merits of the production under review, we shall not tres pass on it with any remarks oh our own. - The appparance of the crops in Spain is, BC. cording to report, so extremely unfavourable, rhal a treat scarcity of bread :yid oil, which ennsti. tote (Ile chief support of the intiabitunts:was ex. peeted.

We copy kom the Dublin Correspondent the fbl lowing well-written remarks on a fact lately stated, tinder the date of a letter from Route in the French Papers. We doubt not that such persons as the iest alluded to, may attempt to intrigue with the Holy See, but we cannot believe that their opera tions should produce any effect " A personage named, the Reverend Mr. TAY LOl3, is said, in an article in some of the Foreign Papets, to have addressetta Nlentorial to the Pope, in which he calls ' upon The Powers—the great tmilitary Powers' of Europe, we suppose—to iaterfere concerning the condition of his 'Alujes ty's Roman Catholic subjects in irelami ; and further prefers, in terms tolerably strong and Ito gettlified, an accusation against England for In tolerance. " What notions of national independence or of civil liberty this 'Revetend accuser of England entertains, it would he no very ditliculi matter to collect, from the nature of what is ascribed to him. lie seems to set a value upon foreign in terferince, incompatible with the first, and to involve an altonative' in his project - utterly re pagnant to the latter ; and he appears to have, in the adelusions of his zeal, lost.sight of the cha racter of England—the genius and character Of her Government, as well as of the facts of hee history, when he invoked. foreign Foarers to teach her how she should conduct her"own con cerns, as well as when he art lived her in Route, and before 'the Pope, of intolerance ".Perhaps it is to be imputed to the species of Liberality which is' prevalent, that this ardent Ecclesiastic invokes the vigorous offices of the Powers, to bring England under" subjection - to his opinionss—liberality, such, as is current, being but, a very peremptory way of demanding something upon an abstract notion of right, on - one side„ ,and s stirrendering 'up of whatever lusty be de manded, witli the utmost indifference and. con tempt-for consequences, on the other.—The Reve rend Applicant to the Papal See is liberal enough to wish to have his own way, and to dictate int- . peratively to the Sovereign Authority "of Eng -, - land-he is liberal enough to desire to enlist site Ptnyers of Europe in strong reclamations against the policy of 'the British State--lie is liberal enough to accuse ,England„ wrongfully, of exces- , sive intolerance—he is liberal enough to calculate upon the sense anti spirit of the. British Nation succumbing;, at the very sound of the blast which he has made—and the liberal men among ourselves will, Of course, re-echo the strain of liberality. The Powers will not obey the call, in all proba bilit y. Philosophical crusades, in . whicbthe - men of argumeOt are to be mustered, to invade the reasons of others, and bring away the .spolia , opinut .of 'controvetsy, are not much to the taste of the Great 'Sovereigns—and, of course, it is only to the argumentative mediation of The Powers, that the reverend antag onist of England's Intolerance can look' , Ilis lolineis - is said to have cooled in his deportment towards the Eng hp consequence of Mr, Taylor's Metnorie.3. it is Surprising that a character of such sagacity, and of a spirit so him and serene amid the hurri canes of Revolution, should nut have found out this extravagant intolerance of England, until the call tipou the PoWers of Europe was submitted to hint. But Mr. Taylor and the Pone —it his Ho liness be affected as he is said to be—are not with out justification ; perhaps, though they have disco.' vered all the swarms of religions " which nestle," ttS use a borrowed phrase,_" under the name of Protestantism," in peace and protection' in Eng land —though they see that Abe professor of every sort of wotship has his sanctuary of prayer ac knowledged by the law of England, and protect ed- - -s•though they see that every imaginable form of Christian worship is practised in peace, and cover ed with the sanction of authority "and law yet, in their just. and liberal eyes',' England is lic ensable, and fairly tccusable,' Of-being, if not a principal, at leaSt an accessary after the fact, to °lie of the_ most abominable systems of intoler ance that ever - disgraced any religion or: any Go vernment. :England has 'held the Government of Goa , for Many years. There she found the Inqui sition e stablished —not dressed out 'in the obsolete . horrors in which this institution Was found of late times in Europe, but nerved with' all the dread-, 'ful terrors which belonged to it in the drags, wlren -ft towered a frightful tyrantf over the mind, and threatened eeasimand liberty with its racks, and tor „ments , liamesand this hideouts histitution Eng land tolerated - . i f this he the accusation against Eng. 1441 for intolerance, tlmt she tolerated that which tirreektles nothing, the charge is well founded, anti the accused must plead guilty. It' is but three years ago, or thereabouts, if memory serve rightly, that Mr. Buchanan Visited Goa. What be saw he has related; and what he has related, will settle the questimt, resneeting the terrible vigour and ptrwer in which the Inquisition et: Goa has been permitted to continue by the, Government of England. The volume which contains the ac count referred to, contains muchr_mote, extreanely worthy of the enlightened reader's eonsideration. The restorer of the Inquisition at Rome, and the persecutor of the Freemasons, the reverser of the ilecisions of monarchs, divines, pitilosoPhers , and statesmen, in the case of the. Jesuits, perhaps may accuse E-ftgl,tnd, or, more properly, countenance time accusation made against her for Intolerance, with a bad grace—but, notwithstanding, it is but too-true, that she floes tolerate the organ of all Intolerance, and thereby has matte herself a party in the crime against justice and:veason—and that: for so much, Mr. Taylor may ,fairly arraign tier in the face of the world, and his Holiness, the Pope, look coldly upon her sons who visit his domini ons—which, however, she bad recovered and pre served for hint. . • “cimnlty.England is, of permitting so monstrous an abomination to live where tier aovereign au- thority has raised up the ,sceptre-of freedom, and Justice, and manly intellect ; but she has, in mi tiption of the sentence which this particular of fence may draw upon her, much to plead not 'withstanding ; many noble services rendered to liberty and reason, to morality and religion.— She has to urge, it aught of this sort may hope to disaTul the liberal wrath of k`otlict Taylor, or to thAw into its former courtesy the chilled coun tenance of the Pope, that she was the first to ice ceive and foster in her bosom the persecuted foe religion sake, when fire and faggot, and slaugh. ter and devastation, sought. to extinguish, its Christendom, the Vety germ of - " Religious Freedom"—that she was the if first State that ever placed upon her Statute Book the'. Act of Toleration, gave every Christian a tight to humble himself before kis - Maker, accord. ing to the dictates of his o,wn conscience. Whett the Inqukition in Spain and in Portugal sat throned in grim supremacy over reason as well as religion—when France bled at every pore, in lier„.. wicked and foolish war against the liberty of erit%! , science-,-when Holland fought for that liberty, her dykes filled with the blood of Martyrs—wliers Auwia chaced, with sword and confiscation, into ruin or death, all who dared to think for theni.i selves, and upon the authority of the Book of Life itself—England, the country„ now called upon by aodacious accusation to hold up her hand at the Bar of the See of. Rome for into lerance, not only warmed and fed the pious • fugitives, who threw themielvei upon her,graen and generosity, but assumed the part of arhim tress, and stood up, at the hazard, of trcasmis at home and wars abroad,lo insist upon the exercise of " religious freedom'' in Europe,—lt is from Lug land, and from her alone, that whatever libel ty exists amongst mankind, has had its sacred birth. It, is by means of her manly reason , that the e t eat and paramount example of the right do• think—the right " that Englishmen's thought dlotliti be as free as the winds"—bas been otablishud iy he half of mankind. It' is to the assetti..it of that right, under all circumstances, that she pvi es the peculiar and happy form of her religious worship 4-it is 'lo the continued exercise of the right, that her justice is so pure and exalted-her morality so admirable—her spirit so upraised—her "g ene " rosity so 'unbounded—all that belongs to human • actions in the detail of life, or in the aggregateof society, so flattering to the dignity, and. conducive to the, welfare of mankind. There would liaYG been no Toleration to this day-for sound prin 4 ciples of justice would not have 'been as readily d e veloped as they have been by. the acquisition of knowledge—liad it not been for England. ,But for her, the horrid rites described to exist at this day at Gna, amid scenes and ceremonies unri. valled in Europe for magnificence and splendour, might have continued to be the curse and shame , of many a Christian land—but for, Father Taylor' might not - have known that such a term as Tn leration. had a Meaning, nor his Holiness of the present day have exchanged captivity for Sove. rt.ign authority. " The fact is, if what is stated in the Foreign Papers concerning Mr. Taylor's Memorial be true, the Reverend Gentleman does'not seam to boo • an eye sufficiently clear to discern the true chit , rater of our times. Some of the old films and clouds intercept his view, or he artist have seen, that what has been too powerful to admit of Christendom being compelled to observe one spe cific-form of religious Worship, necessarily este.; Wishes Tolerance. It is the disenthralment of reason that asserted the rights of conscienc e, and these again naturally led to variety in the forms of worship, and this variety to Tolerance. Si" lowly and imperceptibly; but as necessarily . 81 Nature brings about any destioed end, Toleration must advance, as religious liberty, that is, the right to think for ourselVes as to how we should worship our Creator, extends itself. All the sect* that live, not only unmolested, 'but always., re' spected and generally, cherished, in England, are the noblest witnesses of English Toleration. " When there arc many forms of worship 1 . 0 • religion, as there must he wherever liberty in re' ligion exists, unity of opinion cannot be expected; and the age iu which we live is too wise, and " levant to calculate upon it. Whatever maybe' wished upon the subject, there is not a member o the Church si i l irei o o til f d Englandect a %v n ii y o would ng chose tha t compulsion /0 favonr of uniformity—not one who would- use violence, if lie were even not assured that it could not sue: ceed. Toleration is,tb child of -the Establisl'eut BFligion 7 -it layouts the expansion of intellect nal light and of philosophy. lotoleroce would onlY yoke down religions to their errors, and impel the progress of improvement ; and 'neith er those ever can come within the aim of Eng.. land, while she maintains her present intellectual eminence, and adheres to the religion which la incorporated with her Liberty."
