LITERARY NOTICE. petrator was never discovered,''and Louis XVIII: forbade all search to be made after him. In 1798, Louis XVIII. was acknowledged by the Emperor of Russia, Paul 1., as King of France and Navarre ; and was invited by him to reside in the ducal castle at Mittau, until he could restore him 0 the throne of his ancestors. Louis there fore left the artily of Cond6, with whom he had for nearly two years shared all privations, iienure t want, and dangers. At Mittau he was first mated with all the honours due to a Sore- . reign, which another more fortunate Prince could bestow. He had a guard of honour of two hundred ltussians in his castle, besides a body-guard of French Noblemen created for him, and paid by the Emperor. The Russian commander at 3lit tau was entirely under his orders; and his levees were crowded by the Nobility of Courland, Livonia, and Russia. As the pecuniary bounties of Paul were more than sufficient for a Prince, economical from principal and custom as well as from delicacy, a number of ruined exiles flocked to Russia to share them. , The duration of this prosperous adversity, however, was not long; the Emperor, influenced by the power of France,. suddenly changed his conduct, and sent the King, whom he had acknowledged and invitohg4iii *minions, orders to quit the Russian territory within a Vaal. Three mouths previous to this order, the payment of the usual pension had been with. held, and Louis XVIII. and all the Frenchmen at Mitten were, in consequence, reduced to the utmost distress, because they had all been ordered to depart with their King. The Duchess of Angouleme, the virtuous daughter of Louis XVI., had never ceased to reside with her uncle since she had recovered her liberty, and married her first cousin. On the order coming from the Emperor, she inquired of her uncle what he intended to do? The King told her it was his deter mination "to tilt within 24 hours a country where insult and humiliation had taken the place of hospitality • and that as lie had not the means to travel as he had formerly done, and the little that he possessed was necessary for the support of those of his subjects who had accompanied him, he would on the next day lehve Mittau on foot, and spew the unfortuate French exiles an example how to support misfortunes." At her marriage, the Duchess of Angouleine had received from her first cousins, the Emperor and Empress of Germany, a box of jewels; and without informing nny person of her in. tendon, she sent for some Jews, and obtained upon these jewels alum of stoney sufficient, not only for her uncle's travelling expences - ,' but to provide for the immediate wants of her coup. trymen at Mum. When her uncle, the next morning, dis covered this generous act, the tears of all the relieved French. men told their Prince, that by pressing his niece to his bosom, he should reward, instead of resenting, the first act of her life which she had ever concealed from him. This young Princess had, in the dungeons of the Temple, early learnt to know the little value of either jewels, rank, or even life; as well as the real duty of humanity, and the worth of undeserved wretched ness. After some wanderings in the wilds of inhospitable Prussia, the policy of Iluonaparte to keep Louis XVIII. at a distance from his kingdom, left him at last permission to inhabit the castle of the dethroned King of Poland, as Warsaw, where, in more fortunate times, one of his own ancestors, Henry 111., had ruled as a King—where his maternal grandfather, Stanis laus, had been elected King by a Polish Diet, and proscribed as an usurper by a Polish faction.

MORAVIAN MISSION IN THE WEST INDIES. desire his Grace's opinion liinedniinif the TCharch , of'the.

The Barbndoes Globe of the aGth of July con tains the. following account of proceedings in the House of Assembly of that island, relative to an application , made for permission to allow • Minis ters of this sect to become instructors of the Negroes in Christianity • BA4cog entered into some remarks relative.tn the Mo ravian Mission established in this island,and spoke in high terms of Commendation Of the peaCeable and correct demeanour of their Missionaries in imparting religious instruction to the slaves: He felt gratified that a second Mission was about to be esta blished in the parish of St. John, under the auspices.of that excellent and religious character the- Rev. Mr. Berg; who had for many years, with credit to himself and the Society of Bre. thren, tilled the. situation of Missionary in this island. Although the Missionaries of that Society had ever been most favourably received in this island, yet the present one (the Rev. Mr: Berg) with that degree of prudence and caution which reflected credit on his understanding and judgment, thought it right, in times like the present, to approach the Legislative Bodies on the sub ject of extending their establishment in this island, and he (Mr, Bascom) had great pleasure in presenting on his behalf the pea tition which he then held in his hand, and which he had nc'i doubt would receive the favourable consideration of the house, Air. Bascom then delivered in the petition,' which, on his mo. tion, seconded by Mr. Haynes, was read, and was as follows : The title of a Comedy in verse may, perhaps, induce our Readers to suppose, that the Drama before us is written in rhyme. This, however, is not the case, as it is composed of blank-verse, and manifests a poetical spirit far above most of the dramatic productions of these times. The Author, in a brief Preface, tells us that it was written with a view to representation, but has never been offered to either of the Theatres . This omission we regret, because it contains dra matic materials which noManager possessed of com mon sense,a quality indeed for which Managers in general are by no means remarkable, would have declined. The scene is laid in Athens, "about the year 1085, when the victories of FR.►xctsco MO.. ROSIN!, in the Morea, menaced the Turkish Em pire with ruin." The Author says, that ho chose this subject because it enabled him to ad vert to the former glory of Greece. The Play is of a mixed description, comprising ludicrous as well as amiable and heroic characters, a species of composition that, having the example and au thority of SHAIESPEARE, needs no apology, while the characters are consistent and well supported. There is an agreeable mixture of the comic and the serious in this Play, which we are persuaded, with a few alterations, might have rendered it very effective in representation. The character of Michael in particular would afford ample scope for one of our best comic actors. There is an alternation of the sportive and the serious, and even of the terrific, which would strongly inte rest the feelings of an audience. Love also is introduced, as it is now an indispensable part of a modern Drama. We shall not enter into a detail of the Plot, but recommend the Play alto gethei to our Readers, and particularly to those who preside over the theatrical Entertaiments of the country ; for though the Comedy is pub lished, Readers are few compared with the Public at large. The sentiments in general are worthy of the grave and heroick characters to whom they are attached, and breathe a spirit of liberty suitable to the dignified temper and knowledge of the age. The characters, ludicrous or grave, are well opposed, and there is a whim sical variety even In those of the former descrip tion. The Prologue and Epilogue are marked by " That he had long. been acquainted by books with the Mo ravian Brethren and that they were apostolical and•episcopali nut sitstaining any doctrines repugnant'to the thirty-nine articles of the Church' of England ; and that he was con firmed in these sentiments Of then by the 'et:inferences, hi had lately had with the. Count Zinxendorf, one of their brethren, and director of the churches of the Moravians." Subsequent to this, When Count Zinterilorl was conseerated B:shop, his Grace the Archbishop addressed him a Congra tulatory letter on the occasion in these words • • " John, by DiVine Providence, Archbishop of Canterbury, to the Right Reverend Count Nicholas Lewis, Bishop of the Moravian Church, sendeth greeting.. " Most sincerely and cordially I congratulate you upon your having. been lately raid to the sacred and justly celebrated Episcopal Chair of the Moravian Church (by whatever clouds it may be now obscured) by the Grace of Divine Providence, with the applause of the heavenly host vfor the opinion we have conceived of you does . not steer us to doubt it. - It is the •subject of my ardent prayer, that this honour, so conferred, asp' which your merit so justly entitles you to, may prove no less , beneficial to the church, than at all times seeeptirble tnyoursrlf and yours. For insufficient as I am, I should be entirely un worthy of that high station in which Divine Providence has placed me, were I not to show myself' ever ready to use eery exertion in my power for the assistance of the universal church Of God ; but to love and embrace even preferably to others iyour hitherto, clrch a u s n ir e l h w a t e h b i e t s en i rt in t f h o n e n el et or st invariably bOttd o f m love; a na hav ing the pure and primitive faith,.and the discipline of the first church, being neither intimidated by danger:i t nor seduced by the manifold temptations of Satin.

WARNER PHIPPS. Secretary. " BA RBA DOES. " To the Honourable Cheeseman Moe, Speaker, and the rest of the Honourable and Worshipful Members of the Ge neral Assembly of this . Island, in General' Assembly as. sembled. " The humble petition of Christian Frederick Berg, of the parish of St. Thomas and island albresaid,.llissionary of the Protestant Church, known by the name of " Unitas Fratrum," or United Brethren, "Showeth,-:-ThEit Edmund Haynes, of the parish of St. John, in this island,'Emq., some short time past, whilst he was in England, applied both personal] and in writing to the elders and bishops of your petitioner's church, praying the elders to furnish him with a missionary for the purpose of instructing his and other negroes in the neighbourhood of his estate, who might, with the consent of their owners or masters for the time being, be willing to receive religious instruction according to the form and usage of the Brethren's church. " That the elders, in consequence of such the request of the said Edmund Haynes, referred to your petitioner, directin g; him to examine into the nature of the said Edmund Ilaynes's request and wishes, and to report to the Missions' Department how far it might be practicable, convenient, expedient, and re commendable, to accede to the request and wishes 'of the said EdMund Haynes, in establishing a second mission in Barbadoes. . Mr. See,te Eit then rose and spoke as follows :—" It Neill ever afford me great pleasure to express from this chair feelings of approbation, when I feel they are called forth by that indi vidual merit - which leads to favourable imptessionii of the gene ral character of the country. I therefore cannot suffer to pass unnoticed that part of the petition which 'has been just read to the House, which records the liberal and munificent conduct of Mr. Edmund Haynes. The proposals of that Gentleman to the Society of United Brethren do credit to his urideritanding, and reflect the highest honour upon his humanity, and upon his feelings as a Christian; and will, I hope, make so gratefef art impression upon the minds of his countrymen, that time may never efface it." Mr. Pitt made a few remarks on theinisehievous conduct of late of some of the Missionaries in the West Indies ; from which he was against granting protection to any description of Missionaries; and he moved that the petition do lie over. ,Net did not, however, intend to cast any suspicion on the chatteter of the Rev . .' Mr. Berg, of whom he had a very high opinion ; but as it was not possible always to ensure Missionaries of such principles as those of the liov. Mr. Berg, he should oppose the prayer of the petition. Mr. SeLet ern, in reply to Mr. Pile, spoke as follows :—" I enter moat fully into the apprehensions of My Honourable Friend, but must, however disagreeable to me, be tUrced todif. with him on a subject of such high importance, and lutist eon fess I view his apprehensions as being altogether illusive. I cannot, though, but entertain a strong, and - I will say very pleasing conviction, that after the statement which Twill make to the House, that toy lion. Friend will gratify me by not suf fering it to apinar on the minutes that there was a single disiten ' tient on a subject so closely connected with the moral improve. ment of the slaves. The Society that by that petition prays for the legislative protection is influenced by far other feelings, views, and tenets, than are those who have conic ender the cri mination of my honourable friend. • The United 'Brethren are an episcopal establishment, drawn together by it sacred bond, persevering in the work of their Divine Master with unaffected piety ; firm, but unassuming; constant, but unaffected I cha ritable, breathing love and goodwill to all their Christian bre thren ; encountering toil, and facing peril to convert the Heathen, and to save his soul. Sorely persecuted, they sought refuge, and found it under Nicholas Lewis; Count of Zinzen dort, whose large estates in Upporlaisatia lauded them a rest ing place for their wearied feet.'' So correct was their conduct, so fascinating their tenets, that their protector became their convert, and was ultimately el ec t e d their Bishop. From' that period' they began to flourish, and, unfettered by detestable per. secutions, sent forth establishments to various parts of the world. They have an establishment at Fairfield, near Man. chester, where their amiable conduct has gained them respect and attention ; they have • another at , Fulnech, - near Leeds, where they have a school, which has produced men of learning, piety, anti taste; amongst the number, than exquisite poet, James Montgomery ; they have also ninny °there in Green. land, the Cape of Good Ilope, North and South America; but what Is more immediately to nu' purpose, and will, I hope, re move at once the apprehensions of my honourable friend, is, that they have two settlements in Jamaica, established' since 1754; three in Antigua, since 1756; one at St. Kitt's, since 17711; one in Tobago, since 17119; arid various settlements its almost all the Daniell West India Islands, since 1732 ; and one was made in Barbadoes in 1785 ; 459 years ago ;Ageing which time the voice of complaint has never been raised against them, the breath of suspicion has never passed over any part of their conduct, so as to create the most-trifling alarm to a mind of the most captious or cautious texture. It is, then, fairly to be pre punted, influenced by the Name principles, guided by the same tenets,' and with the melantihtily examples produced by 'the mis chievous and infamous attempts of some of the Wesleyan,Mis sionaries before their eyes, that, they will tread with more firm and confident steps than ever in that road over which they have travelled with such security for so long a term of' years; and that they will continue steadily to pursue that line of exem plary conduct which has raised them in the estimation of all classes of society wherever they have been engaged in their holy labours. I take my seat under the full hope that my honour. able Wend will.not press his motion." The FOR RorrERDAM, 'ht I C FOR ING of the NETHERLANDS, Capt. JOHN SLATER. VUN of th e NETHERLANDS, Capt.

From his earliest y e a r s h e mai iirested a timid and reserved disposition. •Educated with his two brothers, the Duke do Berri (afterwards Louis-XVI.) and the Count. d'A rtois, he always displayed a greater reservetowards his elder than his younger brother. lie made considerable ac quireMents in classical literature, and bare the reputation of being an elegant scholar, and a man of wit. At an early period of his life he aspired to the character of a politician. Soon after the accession of his brother, Louis XVI., he put a small pamphlet into the bands of the latter, en titled Mee Pensecs. Louis XVI. meeting him the next day in the gallery of Versailles, said to him, coarsely enough, 64 Brother, henceforward keep your 'thoughts to yourself." This debut did not discourage him ; and, profiting by the first appearance of confusion, he began, in form, to intrigue against Louis XVI. and Mario An toinette. At the assembly of the Notables his bureau Ras in open opposition to all the others. This Prince had calculated long the means of at least procuring. himself to be nominated Regent of the kingdom. Ile varied in his projects. On the t2Oth of June, 1701, he fled secretly from Paris, at the same time as Louis XVI., but by a different and more fortunate route. 'While his Royal brother was led back from Varenues to prison and a scaffold, the Count de Provence escaped to Coblentz, where be organized the system of emigration, and, by his intrigues in the interior, accelerated the progress of the Re volution. He sent accredited agents, in his own name, to all the Princes of Europe. Failing to rally round him a sufficient number of Frenchmen to attempt his restoration, he sought refuge in Germany ; he afterwards lived at Turin with his father-in-law, the King of Sardinia, and then at Verona, under the name of the Count tie l.ille.'Dn the death of his nephew, Louis XVII., he assumed the name of Louis XVIII. In 1796, Louis XVIII., who had resided some time at Ve nice, was_,- in com pliance with n requisition from the Govern ment of France, commanded to leave that State. He then, ac companied by only two officer 4, repaired to the head-quarters of the Prince of Conde, at ltiePl• Louis XVIII. learned at the same moment the death of the Duke d'Enghien, and that the Order of the Golden Fleece had been bestowed upon Iluonaparte. His AlajFsty instantly re turned his decoration of the Order , the investiture of which he had recived, being a French Prince, to Charles IV., with the following letter;— "Sire and dear Cousin--It is with regret that I return you the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, which his ls jesty, your father, of glorious memory, confided to me. .There . nal whom audacity and fortune have . placed upon my . t . h o r o o d n o e t can exist nothing in common between me and the great emu. which he has had the barbarity to sta i n with the pure bl ood a Bourbon, the Duke Engluen.

The per. The Allied Monarchs had pledged themselves to the expul. sion of Buonaparte, but had disclaimed any interference with the. French nation as to the form of their Government, or the choice of their ruler. It was the known wish of the Emperor of Austria, and in this it was understood his allies concurred, that the choice should fall upon Napoleon's son. But whilst the French Marshals were occupied in procuring, as a preli. winery measure, the reluctant resiation of Buonaparte, Tab. leyrand suddenly assembled the French Senate, which pro nounced a decree of forfeiture against Buonaparte, and freely elected Louis Stanislaus Xavier to the throne, on the condi tion of his accepting a project of Constitution which they had drawkup. he decree of the Senate was communicated to the Emperor Alexander an hour or two before the Mar. iamb; reached his presence with Napoleon's resignation in favour of his son • and the Emperor decided that the Al lies, in virtue of their previous declarations, must be bound by the decree of the Senate in favour of Louis. Louis en tered Paris without the formality of accepting the Consti. tution, and ascended the throne, not in virtue of the de cree of the Senate, with the consent of the Allied Powers, but in his own right, as Louis XVIII. As an act of free grace, he granted his people a charter, containing large and liberal pro. visions ; and, for a short time, his Government was extremely popular. But the emigrant nobles and clergy who returned in his train soon began to manifest pretensions which alarmed the purchasers of the Church lands and conticated estates. Buona parte, apprised of the general discontent of the French, hasten ed from his retreat at Elba, landed on the French coast with only 1;0041 followers , and in the course of a few days was again master of the capital and the kingdom, and Louis XVIII. was again compelled to seek an asylum in a foreign territory. A new coalition was, formed against Buonaparte, with an express renunciation of any engagement to restore the expelled Mo. narch. During the preparations fur the new war, reputed at tempts were made to induce Buonaperte to confirm his act of resignation in favour of his son ; but this advice he obstinately rejected until his assent came too late to produce the intended effect. Louis XVIII: retired no further than Flanders, and after the celebrated victory at IVaterloo, he f o ll owe d i n t h e rear of the Duke of Wellingum's army, entered his capital, and resumed the reins of Government.
