FINE ARTS. ,ILLI4TRATIONS TO THE KEEPSAKE FOR 16S 1. Of all tlieillustrations we have yet seen, these ate incomparably the most splendid. In . the *Mt Once, they h ave b een se l ecte d f rom the paintings of the best artists ; and secondly, they have been engraved by the best engravers. There is scarcely an Illustration among them that is not a master-piece in its way. If the &alloy department of the " Keepsake" be only equal to its embellishments, it will indeed be a " hors avis." The first illustration, Ifni dee, engraved by C. Heath, from a painting by East iSke, is a triumph worthy the eminent abilities Of both artists. Mr. Heath, in particular, has here shown himself among the first—if not the Very first--of modern engravers. Nothing can itinpass, few things equal, the exquisite limning of the Greek girl's features ;—the soft, yet seri , ousexpression of the eye—the delicate pencilling of4he note—the thick luxuriant ringlets--the closed lips, light and graceful enough to belong to a fairy-448e are pourtrayed with a delicacy and finish unequalled certainly by any of the annual engravers of this or the past years. The only ° fault we find with this embellishment belongs to Mr. Eastlake ; he has made Haidee rather too matronly and embonpoint for the " lone Greek" just It blushing into womanhood." The Gen "a; as a subject, is striking; quite dramatic Indeed; and, as an engraving, does not derogate from Mr. Ifeath's Eune. Juliet gives the live liest idea of Shakespeare's fair creation we have Y e t leet. It is impossible to mistake the elo. quent Italian expression of the young Capulet's COuntenance. . The Use of Tears displays great Pa y !nr,ntlight and shade The female figure reclining Oil the bed is well brought out : the , attitude is eminently graceful. Nestor and Tydides, as an engraving, is correct and spirited ; but, as a painting, is too full of that stiffbess and theatrical display which are the chief vices of Mr. Westall and his ' cll ° ol .---Sea-shore, Cornwall, from a painting by I3onnington, is one of the most finished en gravings we have ever seen. '['he clouds light, fleecy, Anil scattered in small silver islands along t he sky, as we now and then (but not often) see them on a summer's day, are nature itself, and Five infinite ebaracter to the landscape. Ade laide is full of life and freshness. The sunny "sparkling aspect of the child, whose young wits are teeming with som e roguish frolic, tells its own . tale. Saumur is a picturesque, animated land 4caPs, and abound s i n d eta il. Mil an C a thedral 14 imposing and magnificent. The pillars wear the aspect of eternity, and the pigmy crowds •at their base, lend wonderful animation to the picture. Of the remaining en 'gr'aving*, space and time merely permit us to ~ [lay that they are worthy of the artists whose lietzlea are attached to them, worthy also of the " Keepsake," which judging from its present at tl •,o ra ons, is beyond compare the most truly regal ot the "Annuals.' ~~A~II DSOAPE ILLUSTRATIONS of the WAVERLEY NOVELS, Part VII. This Part, in point of general fidelity of de scription) is fully equal to any of its predeces • The ♦iew of Edinburgh, in particular, is !rue to rho letter. When completed, it will bind up neatly with the Waverley novels. NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY, No. Under the diligent auspices of Mr. Jenian, 'this work, we hear, is rapidly gaining popularity. Ws are glad of this ; for the biographical sketches are hit off with propriety and good fseling, and without parade of language or senti ment; and the portraits as works of art are ad : !nimble, and as likenesses, faithful. THE ANNUALS FOR 1831. 'HE HIJMOURIST FOR 1881.—Losnos, 1830. Another of the prolific family of the Annuals, and if inferior to some of its rivals in polish and the "riatYs the number, and the talent of its engravings. All these (and they amount to fiftY) are from designs by the late caricaturist Rowlandson, an artist who was once eminent a nd Popular in his line, but who is now pretty fleetly forgotten, eclipsed by the superior genius or our modern Hogarth, Cruickshank. As a caricaturist of real life, of whatever fell under his own immediate observation, Rowlandson possessed talents that entitle him to be remem bered beyond his age. But he had not the ex uberant --frolicsome imagination of Cruick shank. He could never have hit off an imp— a daemon --a night-Mare, or some such gro , league anomaly, in a way to make the spectator split his sides with laughing. He could never, for instance, have illustrated 4 , Peter Schla- Mil," or the legend of 44 Old Booty," those Most fortunate of illustrations. Rowland son dealt only with the common-places of - life, He was no creator, like Cruickshank, of a world of comic fancies. He was acute, observant, but neither inventive nor original. caricatures are for the most part deficient.in Power, perhaps we should rather say exaggera tion, for it is so much the fashion now-a-days to o'er-do every thing, that simple, unsophisticated nature, whether in art, in literature, or on the stage, makes little or no impression on our highly stimulated faculties. Simple viands no longer suit our palates, we must have strongly spiced dainties. In the comedy of art, Cruick shank bas taught us to be fastidious, and disregard as a thing of no m ar k nor lik e lih oo d, t h e huinorous simplicity of Rowlandaon. In the present volume, however, this artist's designs are seen to great advantage. A few of them are exquisitely humorous in conception. Death riding. behind the counter compounding me- divin e in an apothecary's shop, is hardly en allegory ; it is true to the life. We have seen t , he thing a hundr e d ti mes . " A n E nem y "sating down ---Hope in the distance," is also capital. In the front ground stands a bull bow- Ing and scraping like a dancing-master, and P r eparing to toss a dog. Just beside this furious animal, whose neck is as thick as a mile-stone, I lea a young woman, and behind her an old man with a wooden leg, bawling and shouting like a hurricane, for help. In the distance a fat, elderly woman is seen scrambling over a gate-post, and revealing in the operation a pair of legs, com pared to which the pillars in front of St. Martin's Church are mere trifles. " Too Hot and Too Late" is another exquisitely farcical illustration. Three brace of the fattest con ceivable pedestrians are perspiring up a hill on their road to dinner at a large house which stands on the very summit. By the agony depicted in their faces they are manifestly too late for the soup, and, we fear, for the fish, though the two parsons who (of course) are considerably in ad vance of the others, may possibly stand some chance of coming in for a share of cold tut but. It would be shocking were the Church to be in Danger on such an important occasion as this. The penultimate couple who are next in advance to the Bishops (they must be Bishops, they are so fat, and seem to feel their situation so acutely), consist of a husband and wife, both in a congenial state of liquefac tion. One is consoling the other, though both are broken-kneed and winded. With regard to the last brace, an Alderman and his apopletic pug-dog, each is in that extreme state of ex haustion which a good Christian cannot con template without emotion. The Alderman hobbles along, puffing like a grampus, without his wig : his dog looks up to him as if deriving a grim consolation from the superior misery of his master ; and in the anguished features of both we read that they have long since resigned all hopes of getting to the top of the hill before the ladies have summoned the gentlemen to tea —a hard case but life is full of disappointments. " Rich and Poor" is a clever characteristic illus. tration of the truth, that the greatest crime in England is poverty. For all but this there is a salvo. The adulterer may be pardoned and even praised ; the expert adventurer, after a sea son of purification at Botany Bay, may in time, by diligence and adroit timeserving, win his way to the Peerage ; but the poor man—he who can not afford to give a dinner to those who need it not—is without the pale of redemption. He is anathematized—excommunicated of men. The church rejects him, the laity shun him; there is pollution in his touch ; sin in his look; a world of atrocities in the very tone of his voice. He is the Paria of society, an unclean spirit possessed by the greatest of all devils--- poverty.—" A Disciplinarian" is an apt com mentary on the marriage state. A Jezebel of a wife is busy convincing her husband by that most resistless of all arguments a sound drubbing. Already she has knocked the truth into his head through the medium of the poker, though the uncourteous wretch appears insensible to the value of her persuasive admonitions. It is sur prising how little true gratitude there is in the world The Cow Doctor" is remarkable for the figure and face of the veterinary surgeon, who looks exactly like a kangaroo in spectacles. —The remaining illustrations possess nearly equal humour with those which we have feebly attempted to describe ; and the prose and verse in explanation are worthy of them. ACKERAIANN'S JUVENILE FORGET ME NOT, An elegant little work, characteristic both as regards its embellishments, and its literary contri butions. MRS. HALL'S JUVENILE FORGET ME NOT. This, we doubt not, will be a favourite with young people of both sexes. The engravings are all good, some of them superior, as for in stance the one entitled Docility, which, appro priately enough, is placed as a frontispiece ; and the literary is worthy of the pictorial department. Among the tales, the most interesting, because the best, and the most simply told, is decidedly Gaspard and his Dog. We wish we could afford space to extract this agreeable narrative. But our limits are imperative. LOVE'S OFFERING. A collection of songs, set to very pleasing music, by Mr. Evelyn Manners, from words by H. W. N. Bailey. LITERATURE. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The chief article of note in this number is the one on William Hazlitt, from the pen, as the advertisement informs us, of Barry Corn wall. It is written in a generous, indeed in an affecting spirit, and will be much read and ad mired for its simplicity and truth of character. Poor Hazlitt being no longer alive to create enemies by his bold, uncompromising opinions, the truth stands a fair chance of coming out, that he has been one of the first of modern writers—unequalled as a critic on art and on the drama, and having few superiors as a meta physician. His inveterate republicanism was, his chief defect. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. A lively, intelligent number, but—a day after the fair. The portrait of Sir W. Scott is admirable. LA BELLE ASSEMBLEE. The spirited proprietor of this very popular and fashionble periodical has produced a num ber this month every way worthy of him. The embellishments are first-rate, particularly the showy one of the Guildhall, as it will appear at the approaching festival. Mr. CUMMINGS, the favourite of the York Theatre, was remarkable for a voice of extraordinary strength. The power he possessed seduced bun into A habit of ranting, which the public being pleased with, confirmed him in. Thus, when Jong Kxst ma visited York, he was told by the gallery he " cud na shoot oot laik Coo Mases." The death of this gentleman was ano ther of those singular coincidence, of which JOHN PAI.- weles is a well•known instance. lie was playing .Duntont, in Jane Shore, at a town in the York circuit, and in the last scene with his wife, when he had repeated the words-- " lie witness for me, ye celestial hosts, 44 Such mercy and such pardon as my soul 4' Accords to thee, and begs of Heaven to show thee, " May such befall me at my latest hour!" he tottered an instant, sunk down, and expired. The au dience, mistaking this for an intended " point," rewarded him in the usual way ; but, alas ! he was for ever insen sible to their notice! re,tl and mimic life were essentially niingled into a departed shadow, And the actor was now upon a level with the monarchs and heroes it had been his highest ambition to imitate...-Beertard's Retrospections of the Stage. BRUSSELS CORRESPONDENCE. (From the Morning Chronicle.} Tlausser.s, OCT. 27.—Tbe Prince of 'Orange has an ticipated hia fate, and instead of being driven from the Country by the Duo':li, and even Flemings, he has left Ant werp and gone to London. What sort of a reception he will meet with there, from the uncle of, the Princess he desired once to marry, we cannot predict; but be who once aspired to the Throne of England now seeks an asy lum as an unfortunate Princo. Well ! we owe him no reproaches. He has not wronged Belgium, and his last words are those of peace. Ile has yet hopes of the Con gress recalling him ; and he calls it " a National 'Con gress." But why has the Prince proceeded to London? Why did he not go to the Hague, remain in the environs of Antwerp, or even make his entry into this city? He would not have been harmed here, and the confidence it would have manifested would not have been lost on the Belgians. Some say he has gone to London to explain his conduct to the Court of St. James. Others say he has gone to ask for aid ; and many, who are his partisans, declare the voyage is made to impress on the mind of my Lord Wellington the My of hoping to conquer the Bel gians by an expedition, or to re-attach these provinces to Holland. Upon the whole, this latter reason seems to be the most plausible, and I willingly adopt it. Will you do the same? I think so, though you are no lover of Kings or Princes, yet you will do justice to the unfor- Ornate. The French and Republican parties here take the Proclamation of the Prince of Orange to be the signal of his retreat, and say that the Mouse of Nassau is now gone for ever from the shores of Belgium. Though the Prince of Orange has left Antwerp for London, the Dutch troops are still committing great excesses in the neighbourhood of the former city. All round Antwerp the pleasant country houses are being destroyed—the women insulted and violated, and property of all sorts pil lagerl. Our Belgian troops, which have attacked them, have not been very successful, and at Berchent they have been defeated. Our volunteers, though the bravest of the brave, cannot sustain in open country the regular firing of disciplined troops. Maestricht has not yet fallen into the hands of the Belgians, hut is resolutely defended, though declared in a stage of siege. The Congress can not dispose of these questions, and I doubt much whe ther the King of Holland will be bound by it, though his son should be accepted as Prince. ALPHA. Mumma, OcT. 28, 1830.—We have received the terrible news that one of the most ancient and beautiful cities of Europe (Antwerp) is being burned to the ground. How shall I find words, my friend, to describe to you Noy grief and anxiety? Our old friend J— is still there, bed-ridden and palsied. lam told his house was on fire, and that he would he burned to death in his chamber. I cannot think of that fine town and those brave men who lived there being ruined and destroyed without shedding tears. But we must do more than this. I have sent off my son to represent me. The Government has called all to arms, and Gustave prayed to go. I have lost all my anxiety for the House of Nassau now ; and I can only grieve that I have been so deceived. Hew perfidious was the scheme ! Fit at, they got off the Prince of Orange. Second, they got from the Hague a revocation of his authority at Antwerp. Third, they divided the Belgian from the Dutch forces in the citadel, in order that they might be sure of their stra tagem; and, finally, they then fired on the town, and bombarded that pretty, good city of Antwerp. You can form no idea of the exasperated state of the people here. It would be quite out of the question now to propose the name of the Prince of Orange. No one will listen to it, for whether he be really or not a party to this attack on Antwerp, he is a Nassau, and the blood of that detested family rens in his veins. What shall we do now? We must establish a Republic, or adopt your plan of joining ourselves to France. But will France have us now? I should say, No. Write me your opinion by return of courier. Something must be done. ALPHA. The King's Theatre, in the ensuing season, will be honoured with the especial patronage of the KING and QUEEN, who will be constant visitors in their private capacity, and occasionally with all the splendour of the Court. The Duke of SUSSEX, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, the Duke of CUMBERLAND, Prince LacoroLn, the Duke of Gr.ouczsmt, and the Duchess Of KENT, as well as their MaJasTuss, will each have a private box at the Ita lian Opera-bouse.—Sunday Paper. The Staffordshire Mercury mentions, among the " Signs . of the Times," in the hitherto peaceful dis trict of the Potteries, " the introduction of tri-coloured flags, nobody knowing from whence or by whom—the distribution of inflammatory tracts by strangers, who avoid answering any questions as to their employers—and the appearance in the neighbourhood of persons bearing every characteristic.of emissaries of a dangerous society." The proceedings of the agitators, and the strong feeling against the Union which their exertions have called forth, seem at last to have excited the atten tion of the influential portion of the Irish gentry. The Duke of Laistsrea has called a meeting of the noblemen and gentlemen who are interested in the preservation of the peace of the country, and who are anxious to protect the integrity of the empire. This object was accomplished by a circular, of which we add a copy. The meeting was to take place on Friday, and it was expected that the LATOUCHES, and all those ef wealth and consequence whine presence was not required by Parliamentary duties in London, would lend their assistance in devising means to accomplish the object which his Grace describes. The circular is worded as follows :—" The Duke of LRINSTIR presents his compliments to and requests the honour of his attendance at Moaalsors's hotel, on Friday next, the 29th instant, at three o'clock, to meet a few noblemen and gentlemen, who have been invited in a similar manner by the Duke, for the purpose of con sidering the expediency of adopting some measure cal culattol to discountenance the further agitation of the question of a Repeal of the Legislative Union of Great Britain and Ireland." A rumour has this week been prevalent in this town that a young man had died from the effects of a powder, or potion, administered to him by a female, with whom he kept company, in order to " make hint more fond of her." Without vouching for their truth, w e merely give the circumstances as they have been related to us. About six weeks since, Mr. —, aged about 35 years, who held an office under Government, and who, for some time, had paid his addresses to Miss .—.—, the youngest daughter of a respectable tradesman of this town, joined some friends on a day's pleasure to the westward, Miss being of the party. At the inn at ---., a powder, said to be cantharides, was, by her, unknown to her lover, introduced into a glass of port negus, whi c h h e drank. The effect was such that be was greatly disor dered in his brain, and, in returning home, overturned the gig which he was driving, and which was broken to pieces. Mr. —, however, recovered. The potion having, as it would appear, failed in the desired effect, th e infatuated girl took an opportunity, about a month since, of repeating the dose at a house in square. Mr. was soon after taken very ill, and so continued until yesterday set/might, when he expired, having passed the latter stages of his illness in a state of absolute madness, being strapped down to the bed, in which deplorable con dition he died. It is said that, during his confinement. being aware of the cause of his wretched state, the sight of a female, even of his own mother, threw him into a state of frenzy. The rumour (and as such only we state it) has excited the most intense interest in the town.-- Brighton Herald, ANECDOTE OF HENRY IL or FRANCE. — It was the care of the new King, HENRY, to celebrate the obsequies of him predecessor in the most magnificent style. The Bishop who pronounced the funeral oration used a bold metaphor, which gave occasion to the bigots of the Sorbonne to show their zeal. King Fnaticts, according to the worthy prelate, had been afro holy a life, that his soul had gone straight into Paradise, without passing through the flames of purgatory. The denial of purgatory was a favourite tenet of the reformers.--The Sot, bonne forthwith accused the preacher of heresy : they seat a deputation to St. Germain, to make known their complaint to the Kltta. Mennoza, a chief Auer of the Court, first received it ; and, by a facetious spleh, saved IiANRY from an act of injustice. " Calm your selves, gentlemen," said he to tile deputies of the Sorbonne; " if you hail known the good King Fitancts as well as I did, yon would have better understood the words of the preacher. FAANCIS was not a man to tarry long any where; anti if he did take a turn in purgatory, bel►eve me the devil himself could not persuade him to make any thing• like a sojourn."—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet lyelo pedia,V al. Xll. ; being Vol. I. oft& History of France. The spirit of insubordination, we regret to hear, is still increasing in Kent. We have heard that A gentleman connected with the eastern part of the county arrived last night at the Secretary of State's office for the Home Department, to lay before Government a statement of what is taking place in that district. In one place one hundred special constables were ordered to be sworn in, out of which eighty immediately and positively refused to act. It is greatly to be apprehended that this spirit will extend to other parts of the county..—Morning ,paper. COURT CIRCULAR.

From the centre of the ceiling was a large ormolu chandelier ; candelabra were placed on columns of ; on each side of the fire-place and above the mantelpiece was a very large chimney.glass.— Other candelabra were also distributed round the saloon. The crimson curtains had very elegant and tasteful draperies, and were surmounted with the Royal arms, in gold. The whole of the furniture was of crimson, to correspond, and all the mould ings were very r►chly gilt. The Saloon °retied by folding-doors to the ante-room adjoining the Royal box. Both of these were hung with white and amber, fluted. The Royal box was orna mented with bouquets. Four chairs of white and gold, and covered with damask, were placed for the King and Queen, and the two young Princes George. The front of the box was orna mented with crimson drapery, with the Royal antis emblazoned in the middle.

Last night being fixed for the Royal visit to this Theatre, all Its avenues were crowded at an early hour, and all the line of onestreets aa a t:: rilifung h fe. A i esh, soon h a e aaßtohyeai doorsco t o e i g . e the ha . d it t ie o a t p r a e ss w i e nxi c o n e t e e n d , was s i r g fi g l I l ed es t a ao t t k h collar:et fur rs the of , t a h oa e t r e a n b i l l e v p a i r a i c o ( t ys i s te l iv ' e l te ms erry e m , ni a r n edk d other causes of difThrence or discontent, gave rise to owasional ebullitions of temper amongst the crowd until the hour arrived which wee to satisfy their common expectations and wishes. The Royal box had beets tined up in the most sum', tuous style and with a taste which vied with its splendour.— v r t o d lDukes of Sussex and Cambridge arriY,b(adnufle seventok their seats opposite to their Majesties' box. Their itoyal Highnesses were received with cordial cheers by the audience. All eyes were now turned on the Itoyal box, and after a few minutes had elapsed, one tremen. dous shout which seemed to burst simultaneously , from every Individual in the vast throng, hailed the entrance of the King and Queen. Their Majesties acknowledged and returned the salutations of their loyal subjects, and the rising of the curtain presented the stage entirely filled with the members of the company and others. The National Anthem was then very effectively performed, the principal solos being given by Miss Hughes, Miss horde, and the Misses Cawse, anti by Messrs. t)uruset, AT. ter ~ God save the King" had been twice sung amidst enthusiastic shouts of loyalty, the curtain rose fur the comedy of The Provoked husband, which had been conunanded by their Majesties, who desired to witness the le,r thrinance of Lady rowdy, by 51 bait Kemble. llowevergratifying it may be to see the more refined and elevated portlon of the drama an object of Royal favour and patronage, the result proved that these are not occasions for the triumph of the more elegant and (Inlet elitcts of legitimate comedy. A large portion of the !loom was tilled with lieges whose taste compared with their loyalty was as zero to a million. They were iii estacica at the pranks of Squire Richard, and espeeially at his broken pate ; but they seemed to think the polished dialogue of the personages who only stood or sat still to talk, very germane to the matter of their amusement. The fifth act, however, was so impressively played by Mr. And Miss Kemble as to fix the attention even of the densely crowded galleries, and it consequently proved highly efilictive, 11cr Majesty appeared deeply interested and moved by the feeling which Miss Kemble threw into the penitence and fondness of the young wife snatched fromthe vortex of fashionable ruin. On the lighter scenes, for the reasons we have stated, it is scarcely fair to oiler criticism upon such an occasion ; besides which, they constitute the very parts of the art which depend most upon practices and experience. Mr. Kemblo's Lord Totanly is all admirable, and appeared to adind a high enjoyment to the Royal visitors. Bartley, in giving Sir Francis Wronghead's account of his Parliamentary , blunders, excited the hearty laughter of his Majesty. The allusion to making Miss Jenny a Maid of Hotspur also called up the goed-natttred smiles of the Ladies attending Its that distinguished capacity.'

The audience joining in the chorus with heart and soul, gave it an efflict of grandeur which scarcely any other composition is capable of producing. Teddy the Mee was the afterplece ; and here the humour of Power kept the whol e audience, the Monarch, the Court, and the crowd, in continued and indiscriminate shouts of laughter. His Majesty frequently leant back in hie chair muter its influ. ence, and the Q u een was scarcely less moved ; the two young PI hums who sat on either side of their Majesties were frequently unable to remain in their seats.

Sir HENRY HARDINGi has taken possession of the large house in Whitehall-place, originally Weil up for the late Lord Girroan, when he was Attorney- General, and which is by fitr the highest rented mansion in that quarter, amounting, with the taxes and ground rent, to at least 1,4001. per annum.

His hits Majesty GEORGE the Fourth, al though An especial patron, and, we believe, founder of Lewes races, seldom visited the town, except at the annual show of cattle, in which exhibition the Prince of WALES took a warm interest for many years.

An order has been received in the Dock-yard from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for a return of the number of ships which have been fitted with round sterns, as also for a model of the stern of the present Queer► Charlotte. This order is supposed to have some reference to the principle which has lately been adopted in the navy of introducing round sterns in preference to the old-fashioned square sterns ; and which practice has of late gained ground.

The Royal Party, on leaving the Theatre, were saluted with cries of " Down with the police I—No police !" and these crier, were repeated until the cavalcade arrived at St. James's Palace. On returning through Leicester-square, the mob, which exceeded one thousand in number, again raised the cry of " Down with the new police!" Some of that body here interfered, and begged the crowd to disperse. Finding, however, that their persuasions were of no avail, they attempted to take some persona Into cur tody, and a general riot then took place. Several men on bath sides were, we understnnti, severely injured; and several of the mob were apprehended and locked up in the station-houses.

Jaen saluted his Commander, and made Pura. and the dog do the tame. Sir Jones then asked him if he would go to sea with him again, stating the orders he had received. .lacx inquired the period Sir ions was given to refit. "Only a fort night," wits the answer.

Hit Royal Highness was audeiontly cool and col lected, and preserved a aeriel demeanour towards hie 6taff and others around him on the 23d, and visited the wounded with Enoch kindness : but on the subsequent days be was observed to be pale and *glutted. He felt, or professed to feel, bitterly disappointed at the resistance offered to his entry, and exposed to an English gentle man whom he met on the 25th on the Boulevard de Louvain, his abhorrence of the treachery of the inhabitanee of Brussels, who had invited him in under promise of co operation. " Acting under this assurance," said his Royal Highness, " we entered ill prepared fur resistance, and behold the deplorable situation to which we are re duced t" The Mince, however, ought to have ***ermined the disposition of the inhabitants more eotmetly, before hazarding his army to the casualties of street fig hting, especially as M.

Allowing that a vest proportion of the high and middle classes of etmiety in trowels wished for the presence of the Royal troops in order to restore tran quillity, the Mince should have reflected that he was merely whispered into the town by a party, who dared neither to call aloud for his interference, nee to solicit it by any public document in face of the armed multitudes of the capital. The Prince ought to have sos Petted the nature of a proposition arising out of a roomentory fear of insecurity, but totally unsapporteiUby any political feel ing in favour of the Goverment.
