Lot HART,. Esq. We hardly know in what tarsus to speak of this unequal production. It is a►towed ly a maiden effort, and on viewing the annouriCernent to that effect in the preface, we were dispoied to consider it as one more, added to the host of ephemeral productions, which are only known to the public by advertisement, and end after a short time during which they are poi•fectly unnoticed, by retiring into the obscurity :from which they emerged. This, however, is not the case with the work upon our table. It Is 'much, in noticing a first production to say tiiat It is► a fair specimen of the abilities Of the AUthor,- and that it gives a promise of much future telenit improved by ex perience, but some parts - tit The Pilgrim's Tali," warra►tt tts in thg .04.teOsion of a some what less equivocal troth 'cCVIS - P:abatio - ii. The opening in which the Author adopts the► gyroniars , stanza, introduces -us to the heroine -Donna Nina of whom the following description is given a very pretty girl, • With blushing cheeks, and archness in her eye, And silky locks, with love in every curl ; And always smiling so, she scarce knew why, You could not view her rosy mouth a minute, And not perceive the pretty pearls within it." She forms one of the many instances of filial disinclination to obey parental authority, ex erted in favour of a suitor, whose.:age and person are in direct opposition to the being which their romantic imaginations have created. The follow ing extract, descriptive.of the unsuccessful lover, will, we believes induce our readers to agree with us, that in this instance Donna Mina's taste is not to be censured. " Don Grine was once young, but not so, now, ge, wealth, and honour, had come on together ; His glory was three,scars upon his brow, His nose, eye, ears, and one leg gone—but whether Young Donna Nina thought the hero equal To one less hnck'd about, is in our sequel. In honour's cause he fac'd his country's foes, And lost an eye among their outer works ; Then, in the holy wars, he lost his nose,_ His ears, and his left leg, among the Turks. Returning laurel-crown'd, his country's pi4eon, Dup'd by the dice of Glory and Religion." a On a summer's evening the family are enjoying themselves themselves in an arbour, when a pilgrim arrives, and is requested by the company to story. It is here that the unequal writing is displayed. The plot interests and is well supported, but with reference to the poetry it has evident proofs of its maidenhood. This is the more per ceptible as some of the lines have as much excel lence in their composition as their neighbours have vapidity. The prevailing fault is the prosaic Manner in which the lines read. This may do very well in the new or "familiar" style of writ. jog, atul is effestive indeed. , in the opening, but we cannot admit of the introductiOn of conversational ease in the heroic metre. The story told by the pilgrim is too long for our limited notice, or we would willingly extract it to she w the construction of the plot. It ends with the elopement and marriage of Donna Nina with the pilgrim, who pr oves to be a dashi ng young officer who had as sumed the disguise to convey a knowledge of his passion to his mistress, which he contrives to e ffect by means of a letter delivered in the course of the relation of his story, from which we will g ive one extract to shew Mr. Lockart's style Spare, spare, ye riewless torturers ! Oh spare last brief mom ents, sacred to despair !' " His ha n d is on my eyes—his blood, as fresh, " As warm as when first shed, creeps o'er my flesh— " The eyes of .Altainira, glaring, shine " Triumphant that for his I've murdered mine— " Leta, thy shriek still echoes in mine ear ! " And, as the spectres of the slain appear, " The latest curse that turns my blood to gall, " sondro! thy scornful laugh rings o'er them all! " Hell is in waitin g for my last life-sigh ! " Sights, worse than hell, torment the ere I die ! " And my remaining breath can scarcely plead " To Heaven's Omnipotent, that those who bleed " This night, may pass to Paradise, sin -free, " And all then crimes be s h o wed in fire on me. '•Fair as the floweret whence thy beauty grew, " Adultress Isabel, a last adieu " Fernando, first-born of my sainted bride, " Incestuous adulterer, parricide, Forgiveness, and farewell !'.'. then kissed ha them, aria died.

" Since splendid successes have insured to ,Spail► the triumph of legitignice-, and crowned the wistiesi,of the.. great Majtariti of .a< *WOO which has - reinained faithful to its King, tife liberal Journals have been .obliged to. interrupt:, the.course of their sinister prophecies, which are all belied by events, and to renounce their de clamations in favour of the pretended heroes of a cause which they have not known how to defend by their courage, or still less to ennoble by their talents. These lying writers have now no re source left to feed the curiosity of their readers than to substitute the dreams of their imagination for the narrative of facts which they were charged to disfigure. " Sometimes they create personages who have never existed ; sometimes they imagine political transactions equally destitute of foundation and of probability, and in the absence of real dan gers, which have been dispelled by the close of the memorable contest so gloriously terminated, they endeavour to excite fears of chimerical - dangers, and to inspire alarm and distrust, by false notions of the present or past relations of the several powers with respect to each other. " Thus, for instance, several of these Papers, little caring whether they contradicted them selves, have published, That General Pozz'o, whose arrival at Madrid they announced as hav ing taken place on the 28th of October, had • passed through that city on the 20th of the same month, stopping only sufficient time to recom mend Count Bulgari to pursue a Russian Agent, who does not exist, and to make him give an ac count of 14 millions of reels, which has never been sent thither ; Russia not possessing any funds in Spain, and not having sent any to that country.' "It was not sufficient for these newsmongers to suppose General Borgo charged with this commission, they have also pretended that that. A m bassado r had seut orders, during his. slay at Madrid, o terminate the arrangements relative to the cession of the Balearic Islands, which were the recompense of the good offices lately render ed by Russia to Spain. They have forgotten that the Russian armies have twice, under the most trying circumstances, marched 800 leagues from their own frontiers to defend the cause of legitimacy, and that the success which has cr owned the generous (efforts of their august Mo narch is the only recompence which he has judged worthy of him. " 1, he absurdities invented by these same Journalists, relative to the affairs of the East, are no ways inferior to those of the pretended set tlement of the accounts of Russia in the Penin sula. One of these writers, speaking lately'of the Pence concluded between the Porte and Russia, does not fear to represent the hitter as having been, " in its war against the Turks, the instrutnent of Russia, and employed as a diver sine in favour of the Greeks, whom this same power refused ostensibly to protect in Europe." Even if the frank and upright conduct of the Russian Cabinet, in all its political transactions, and the honourable confidence that has been the fruit of it, were not sufficient to' confute so gla ring a falsehood, there is no one at all acquainted with the relations of Russia and Persia, who has not had occasion to convince himself, that far from having iuvited the latter power against Turkey, it spared no pains to prevent a rupture, and to inspire it with the same pacific sentiments and the same moderation, of which it has itself given so many proofs on all occasions, and to all the powers of Europe. " There would be no end of noticing,not only all the falsehoods but all the faults proceeding from gross igtiorance, which are contaiued in the liberal Journals. But it is good to remark them. from time to time, in order to give proof of their , intentions and their means, and to warn against their ill. faith many people who are tempted to take their decisive tone for frankness, and their tone of tnystery for the infallibility of their poli tical statements." - ( From the Journal de, Ditate. ) PARIS, JAN.

A son of France, at the orders of his King, tra versed oppressed Spain as. a liberating hero ; by his virtues he made his victories precious even to those he conquered ; an army which astonished Europe less by its mighty deeds of arms than by the severity of its discipline, unexampled in military annals ; a throne cast down restored to its former glory; legi timacy completely revenged—the peace of the world 'conquered by a sacred war, in which humanity was always allied with the noblest daring ; these, Sire, are the glories which Heaven has permitted us to see lu the space of a few months. Thanks to the firm and foreseeing policy of your Majesty, France, hence forth powerful abroad and calm at home, will see every trace of its past evils disappear, its laws respected, and the doctrines of licentiousness arid impiety; which have caused so many disasters, sink into discredit.

[From the Mane of Sunday.] •• • PARIS, JAN. 3.—The English Paper; ;ire full of commentaries on the Message oldie President of the United States. Every one considth it ac cording to his political views and private' indina:- lions ; but the fact is, this long declaration pleases and agrees with no one. it has not even escaped sharp censures on the part of the Anittican Papers. Mr. Monroe, who is not a Sovereign, who has himself told us that he is only the first delegate of the people, has assumed in his Message the tone of a powerful Monarch, whose armies and fleets are ready to go forth on the first signal. fie does more ;- he prescribes to the Potentates of Europe the conduct they are to pursue in certain circumstances, if they do not wish to incur his disgrace. Such is th© prohibition which he issues against their ever thinking of any new coloniza tion in the two Americas. - Mr. Monroe is the temporary President of a Republic, situated on the eastern coast of North America. This Republic is bound e d on the south by the possessions of the Kin g of Sp a i n , and on the north by those of the King of Eng land. Its independence has only been acknow ledged for forty years : by what tide, then, are the two Americas to be under his immediate de pendence, from Hudson's Bay to Cape Horn ? What clamours aid he not raise in theynited States, when the Emperor of Itussia wished to trace thedemarcation of the part of territory which he claims on the North East coast, as discovered by his subjects ? This Monarch, however, did not pre sume to dictate laws to any of the States who have establishments on the same coast. It was reserved for Mr. Monroe to show us a dictator, armed with a right of superiority over the whole of the New World. According to the political system hewiblies to establish, Spain would no lon ger b e permitted to make the least effort to re-enter on the territory which for three centuries she has The King of Portugal, as the. American Papers have observed themselves, could not act as a Sovereign and father without exposing him self to the wrath of Mr. Monroe. England would require his previous consent if it suited her interest to make any new military or aolitical establishMent either in Canada or Nova Scotia. --And yet Mr. ?elunroe's Message contains phrases indirectly hostile to the policy and ambition of the Great Powers of Europe ! But what is that Power which professes so proudly maxims opposed to the rights of Sove reignty and the independence of Crowns ? What is that Power which pretends to prescribe to subjects the limits of obedience ? Who is she, short, that fears not to - compromise • the . ex istence of sociatorder, by declaring in the face of Heaven that she will not recognise any difference between a Government de facto and a Govern ment de jure 2 By bringing under one point of view all the ass e rtions and doctrin es - contained in this.i4eti sage, it is satisfactory to consider that it .has nut yet received the sanction of any AuthOrities,E'l of the country where it appeared ; and, in sitor% that the opinions of Mr. Monroe i!.re.al yet m'erely the opinions of a private individual.
