i.00 4 * Y, .-is' ~' *~,. ti.: ,~ ~... [T • , este and mischief, ...seedy for the time past, and there ue danger that the remedy applied for the future may be to abrogate or to annul by gradual disuse the Whale law of registration. For a full statement of the reasons on this side of the question, we refer to a paper submitted to us ost b one of the m eminent Chancery Lawyers of the r esent day, to whom we are indebted for much velna py ble assistance. The reasons in favour of excluding the inter ference of Courts of Equity on the ground of notice, may be thus stated. If the public good require that a purchaser; to have the protection of the law, should comply with a form, and that form be made simple and easy, a purchaser omitting the form has no just ground of complaint that the protection is not given. If the omission were not wilful, he should still blame only Ida own want of care,' or tha t of his agents. It is reatly, for the public good that civil rights should be capable of being ascertained without difficulty, and for this purpose the law on which they depend should as far as possible be general, anti not varying in dif ferent circumstances, which would lead to mistakes; they should be supported by evidence, and not open to doubt, and as little as possible exposed to falsifica tion. For these reasons, it has been thought ne cessary in most countries to require the title of land to be . proved by written documents, and thereby prevent, attempts to enforce pretended claims by parol testimony or circumstantial evidence. A regis tered title possesses the advantage of certainty and security in a high degree, but they will be impaired, iP prefirence be given to an imregisted over a regis tered deed, on the ground of notice. The fact of notice, will in every case be possible, and in many probable; •there will be a temptation therefore to the unregistered claimant to commence a suit, in the hope that the other claimant may confess notice, or circumstances from which it may be implied ; and there mity`alio be a temptation to support the suit so commenced by false evidence. The miachiefs of letting in constructive notice have been so strongly felt, that some Equity Judges have held it exclusive under the present Registry Acts; but no provision which can be made for denying effect to constructive notice will be effectual, because the distinction between actual and con etructive notice cannot be, defined, and must there fore often fail to be justly drawn either by a Court or a Jury; and cases of individual hardship might lead to a course of decision which would encroach on the spirit of the Act, and impair its benefits. Among other cases, a great difficulty would arise as to notice to the agent. Frequently the principal, being out of the way, could receive notice only through his agent, and under some circumstances such notice ought to bind him in the fullest manner, Under other cir cumstances there would be great injustice in affect ing the principal with notice given to the agent. There would perhaps be much liability to mistake on the part of Courts and Juries in individual cases under this head. Between actual notice and the highest degree of constructive notice, there is no substantial difference; indeed the latter, as resting °finer on written evidence, is frequently more clear and satisfactory ; and the defence to moral feeling, which affords perhaps the strongest reason for giving effect to actual notice, would be violated in no less degree by denying the same effect to a strong and clear cue of constructive notice. The line between such cases, and cases more slight and doubtful, can • be drawn with no certainty ; what should excite suspicion in the reasonable mind, may be thought • equivalent to inforination ; no one can predict how for the Want ofinquiry into circumstances, which in quiry would have kid to actual notice, may be held 'fraudulent, or how far a presumption of witted notice may he inferred either by a Judge or is Jury from the knowledge of circumstances. The doctrine of notice, which frequently depends upon presumption, arising from evidence liable to ' suspicion, leaves a wide opening for conjecture, and may be a most fruitful source of litigation. Although the eases of notice which have arisen under the Local Register Acts in this country have not been nume rous, questions respecting . the same doctrine have frequently been discussed in the different Courts hi ' America. FRANCE. To in EDITOR oar THE MORNING CHRONICLE. PARIS, surr. 3, 1830. • SIR,-- To-dity the streets of tite capital are lined with troops and National Guards. Toklay there is anxiety in every countenance, and apprehension in every family. To-day commerce is suspended—the Funds are falling still lower in value, and there exists much agitation and alarm: You will be sorry to hear this, and you will be anxious to learn the reason. Then . listen to me a few minutes, and I will tell you the whole truth. In times like these it is more than ever necessary to speak out, without f ear , and to let no one be deceived through igno rance. I know that I urn acquainted with all that is going on here, and I may do some more good by speaking out in the columns of the Morning (Yon nick. Well, then, " the people" are net yet satisfied! y ou Ask me why? 'I will tell you. The people fought t o establislt a principle, to overturn a dynasty, end to get rid of a system. The principle was the sovereignty of the people, the dynesty was that of the Bourbons, and the system was that of the Mo narchy. The people generally feel that the actual Government neither understands the power, the wishes, nor the wants of those who made the Re volution; and the Government, in its turn, thinks that the violence of the workmen, their menaces, illegal acts, riotous assemblies and processions, and refined to return to order and peace, proceed from mistaken notions, or from the impulsion given to them by wicked and unprincipled men, by disap pointed Royalism, discharged Placemen, Ex-Peers, Ex ]deputies, and Ex-Courtiers, and that there are HO teal grievances of which the workmen can justly complein. I bat the people are excited by the Jesuits, Priests, Royalists, Gendarmes, mid Military Officers, is an undoubted fact ; and the arrest of some of these in dividuals, no further beck than to-day, puts this question out of all possible doubt. I announced it to you several days since, and every list of destitu tion% In the Monileur naturally swells the ranks of the enemy. But though all this is true, a the people are not vet satisfied." In saying what I am about to state I have but one object—the advantage of the millions. Kings and Ministers have defenders enotigh at all times. The Treasury can always seenre eulogists and ora tors, but We live in times when the people will be heard, and when their interests most be attended to. I have no wish to offend, to impede the march of the present Government—to excite prejudices, or even to indirectly injure a good cause; but it is necessary to speak out, and I am much mistaken if the Ministers themselves will be eventually dis pleased, If I did not know that the Morning Ciironiete has for years past been read by the Duke of Oaten', now the enlightened King of the French, it would be -scarcely worth making suggestions or tefiLrre ingopirions in its columns ; hut with . that fact mete, ant resolved co speaking out. first let me give the immediate cause of all 'tinsol I T: 6 7 , l 7 ,:v i i :: v iti ii t i h i t h u t, intik at the more important 'N' r astertlity the inutile .

At the ;,,, ... pe rsons were foolish enough to .-.. Not to use the machines, but at the Journal des Debals - a different sort of answer being given, the insurgents proceeded to violence—broke the machinery—and compelled all the pressmen to quit the workshops and proceed with them to other large printing-offices. In consequence of this violent conduct, the Journal des Debuts was unable to ap pear to-day—and the Bureaus of other journals were protected during the whole of last night, and have been so again today, by National Guards, and Troops of the Line. The idle and unprincipled fellows who thus' conducted themselves have done considerable mischief at the "Royal printing-office," and also to other establishments, and the actual loss, independent of the derangement of commerce, and the disorganization of the town, has been very considerable. Yesterday they assembled at the bar rier of Belleville, to the number of 1,500, and to s day at the barrier of Maine, to about the same number. During the day ' they drink, and in the evening, when they are scarcely sober, they enter the city, collect large groups, and disturb the public pence and public confidence. ToSday about forty of the ringleaders have been arrested and sent to prison ; and at the moment lam writing (ten o'clock , vat.) the city is comparatively tranquil. Still there is anxiety in every countenance, and apprehension in every family ; and multitudes ask, " Where will all this end ?" To-night, as well us yesterday, all the streets are crowded, and the police has wisely enough en deavoured to amuse the idle, and distract the atten tion of the wicked, by placing bands of music, and little shows, harlequins and rope dancers in almost every streets. This essay at creating distraction of thought, and this attempt to allay public uneasiness, I think - entitled to unqualified praise, but believe me that something More is wanting to restore the confi dence'of " the people," and to induce them to re turn to former habits and pursuits. Ist. " The People" are not satisfied with the present Ministers ! I You must not judge of a French by an English mob. Ask a set of Wapping workmen or Thames-street coal-heavers who are the Ministers, and they will not understand your ques tion. But ask the same class of men in Paris, and they will not only tell you their names, but they will give you an outline of their characters. They all know that the Minister of Finance (Baron Louis) was Minister of Finance under Louis XVIII. They all know that Count de Mole is not at heart either a Republican or a zealous Liberal. They all know that he protested but a few years back in favour of the doctrine of legitimacy, and that he abhorred as " damnable and heretical" the " dogma" of the Sovereignty of the People. They all know that the Duke of Broglie is nothing more than an English Lord Grey, or rather an English Lord Dudley—very respectable and very worthy men, but not men suited to the new state of things in France, and to the new principle which has been established. They all know that M. Chardel is only Director of the Posts ad interim, and they feel per suaded that General Gerard will not long remain at the Department of War. They all know that M. (luizot is not a good Minister of the Interior, and that France requires more to-day than doctrines and metaphysics. They all know that there have been renewed troubles at Nismes I disturbances at Amiens —dissatisfaction at Rochefort I riots at Befort—and downright military insurrection at Metz, Sarregue mines, and Pont-n-Moresson ; and that M. Guizot looks on, and says these are evils which will correct themselves. This philosophical indifference, or indo lence and inaction, do not suit the people; and they are therefore not satisfied with the present Ministers. 2d. The people are not satisfied with the system of compromise and conciliation adopted towards the Royalists! Upon this point it is necessary that I should be most explicit, and that " the people" should not be misrepresented. They do not desire either the imprisonment, banishment, or prosecution of Royalists, even of those Sub•Miniaters and active agents of the last Cabinet who caused nearly as much evil as their roasters. They do not require that the heads of the Bureaux should be turned joff without pensions, if they are entitled to them, or that their trial-administration of the past should be too rigidly inquired into. They do not require that old porters and old clerks of no politics at all, but who are the mere machines, should be dis placed. But they do require that all the men of the old system of things should be displaced—and that those only should be appointed in their stead who are known to be sincerely and zealously at tached to the new system alike from education and from principle. They do not require that all the grey-bearded Jesuits, who have for the last fifteen years been insulting the people whilst fattening upon them in all the public establishments, shall be at once displaced. They cannot endure to see them descending as usual from their cabriolets at the hotels of the Ministers and directing the operations of the Head Bureaux. In some of those hotels I know of my own knowledge that there are " Heads of Divisions" who speak with coldness and evert disrespect of the new order of things, and of the new Ministers and their plans, and scoffingly ask, " what can you expect from men who know nothing of public business?" Yet though all this occurs this very day in Paris and all over France, still what are called " Moderate Royalists" are retained in office—and the reason alleged is, " It is better to disarm an enemy than to make a friend." But the people believe otherwise. The people treat these " enemies"' us mere troublesome insects, The swarm is not large. The people are the millions, and they do not fear these enemies. Since the accession of King Louis Philip, the syetem of promotion has been decidedly favourable to the moderate Royalist party—to men who have no real sympathy with the new orders of things—to men who shrug their shoulders as they smile and say, "We hope all will be well." Now young France--regenerated France—revolutionized and enlightened France cannot bear these hollow-hearted men. France will willingly let them claim their pensions and retire into privacy and obscurity. They may be excellent fathers and amiable husbands, and may play evade to perfection, end even know Pornething of whist—they may crack their jokes in their chateaus, or write bad pamphlets, which scarcely any will buy, and yet fewer read ; but France will not have these Men as her Sub-rulers, Sub-ministers, Sub-officers of State , ... Sub-prefects, Procureurs, Mayors, or Couecillors.Yet this system of conciliation has been adopted, and the people are not satisfied with it. :3d. " The people" are not satisfied with the sys tem of Ordotmances I Day after day the institutions of the country are destroyed by Ordonnances. Day after day new esta blishments are made, and old ones put down by Ordonnancea. The Gendarmerie is suppressed by Ortlonnance I The Municipal Guard erected by Ordormance !—lt wits tint so in London with the new Police. Parliament passed the Act, and the King consented to it; but here the King makes the law without even asking the opinion of Parliament. So again it iniaters of State are suppressed by Or &finance !—the posts of Juges-Auditeurs put down by Ordonnimee I—and many articles of the Orden nance of the 2d August, NIS, as to officers in non activity, re-established by Ordonnance ! This sys tem is a very bad one. It niters the whole cha racter of the Constitution. It destroys the force of the representative Institutions of France. It makes the Chambers the mere creatures of Ministers; and but for one clause in the new Charter, which gives to each Chamber the initiative as well as the King, the new system would but little differ from the old one. it is not that the people find fault with the objects of the Ordonnances—with the ends accom plished by theta--butt the people are naturally , enou g h dissatisfied at perceiving so great a power vt"ted in, and exercised by, the King.' They know e t(i) e i t ! ,, e i t T : i t g l a y_ goi s ,o v , e 4i. l . l :(2 t re i ti t ut t ) t y.n.it i h f ilic t e h s 'e , i K le in i g t - my has tis t o h righte mai,e b, ( , ) , 1; the AZ ~, ,1, L., il, they object to the King having ' doing more by Ortlonnanova than vat- vying into effect the operations of existing or of new laws. 4th. The people are dissatisfied with the bare abolition of monopolies, and with the determination of the Government not to interfere with them. The people ask why every one should not be at liberty to exercise the trade of a baker and a but cher, provided they are subject to just laws and a Police, which would prevent them from selling bad bread or bad meat, and punish them for any infrac tion of those laws and regulations? The people ask why the system of monopoly is to be kept up for the purpose of swelling city funds, and increasing the municipal budget? The people ask why pa tents should be necessary to carry on trades—why every man should not be free to labour and apply his capital as he might desire—and why, with a new age, so enlightened and improved, the old system of monopolies should be maintained, merely because it can boast of antiquity and cobwebs ? If a man be not a good workman, he will not be employed-.- if a man set up for a watchmaker, who knows not his trade, no one will buy his watches—and if trade and tradesmen ' labour and labourers, are left to themselves, without the wretched system of " cor porations," "liveries," " certificates," " freedom," " patents," and so forth, the lazy and the ignorant will alone be unemployed, whilst the industrious and intelligent will ever find a market and full occupation. sth. The people are dissatisfied with the non dissolution, and even non-approaching dissolution of the present Chamber of Deputies This is the greatest of all the existing evils, and it must be redressed ! France is governed- by a new King, by a new Chamber of Peers; for all those created by the Ex-Monarch have ceased to exercise their functions, being deprived of the Peerage; but yet France has the old Chamber of Deputies. This is 'unjust and dangerous. Under the old system, France was very glad to have such men in the Chambers as M. Royer Collard, V. Vatismesnil, M. Martignac and M. Debellvne ! These gentlemen were called Constitutional Royalists. They opposed the Extreme Droite, and they did well. But to-day there is no EXtreme Droite to oppose. These men are running off to their chateaus in La Vendee, or to Spain—to Eng land or to Fribourg. The air of France, and espe cially of Paris, is too liberal for them; there is too much of oxygen and too little of nitrogen, and they are afraid of dysentery Well, then, these men must be replaced in the Chamber, and who will be sent to replace them ? That will depend on the qualification of the electors and the elected. But if the millions are to decide, their places will be supplied by young men, talented men, men of the new system, men of about thirty years of age, men who have no old prejudices to lose, and who adopt not merely cheerfully, but who adore the new order of things. The people then ask with reason, how can these 150 new men act with the 280 old ones ? There will be no harmony—no union—and the Ministry of 1830 will have to de plore, in the words of the eloquent Martignac," that it marches in the midst of anarchy." The people require the dissolution of the present Chamber, after it shall Elections. lecto have s votedthe se measures Budget, might atd pa i be e ssed a Law accomplished of in fourteen days, and in six weeks France might have a new Chamber. The new Chamber might con firm or repeal the new Lew of Elections, or might amend it. When these points are adjusted " the people" will be tranquil, but till then there" will be anxiety in every countenance and apprehension in every fa roily.' You may be sure of this. Your obedient servant, O. P. Q BONN, ON THE RHINE, SEPT. 1. (From the Morning Herald Correspondent.) This town, which, as your readers knew, is the seat of a very flourishing university, established by the present King of Prussia, has, within the lust few days, been deserted by its academic population —seeking for Swiss mountains, the Black Forest, the fair at Frankfort, or whatever other amusements may suit the purse or taste of the German student, during six weeks of suspended lectures and favour able weather. But though the song of these cele brators of the Rhenish grape has died away, yet its situation at this moment must exempt the popula tion of Bonn from that far-from-pleasing tranquillity which usually prevails here throughout the summer recess. Situated between Cologne and Coblentz —between the revolutionary populace of the for mer, and the immense military force which now occupies the vicinity of the latter, we can view— how long I pretend not to say—calmly and in se curity the struggles of the people, and the prompti tude with which they are resisted, or the objects granted out of which they havegrown. These objects appear indefinite, for among them, though an attach ment to their old rulers (the French) pervades almost every rank and condition of the people of these Rho. none provinces, it is difficult to conceive the cause of its existence. They are a far happier, more wealthy, and less taxed people * under the Govern tnent of Prussia than the despotism of France, and the crowds of English, offensively ostentatious of their wealth, who linger even in the very villages that line the beautiful river above which I am now writing, were then shut out from this part of the Continent, and its inhabitants from the pleasing morning view—aye," from morn to dewy eve".- 0 f steam-boats, filled with " voyageurs" from " Great Britain and Ireland." At this season all the troops of Prussia quartered in the Rhenish country assembl e at Coblentz for a Royal inspection, and there are now stationed around that gay town, awaiting that review—at which, however, it is now known the King will not appear—more than 30,000 men in arms. In the policy of Prussia, and that origi nating in a perfect knowledge that the feeling which have endeavoured to describe is universal in the Rhenish provinces, the military stationed in that territory consist exclusively of troops raised in the North, and—where no reliance can be placed upon that public virtue which the ancients called patriotism, and which grows out of a strong sense of our own interests in the preservation and prosperity of our own Government—th e judicious ness ef such policy will hardly be doubtful. Every man, however, in Prussia, no matter what may be his rank or station, must serve for, at least, a year in a force denominated the landwehr—an establish meat similar, in many respects, to the local militia of Englund, and, indeed, differing only from those corps in a discipline the most unremitting, and exer- • cises the most laborious. Their stations—in this respect the resemblance is exact —.are fixed and per manent; and their actions, therefore, reflect not the feelings of the army generally, but of the people where those levies take place. re view summoned •to Coblentz th e l an d wehrs as w ell as the regular army ; and this i s t h e most extens ive excursion the former troops - The expected are accustomed to take from their respective departments.

The Rhenish provinces pay a far greater quantity of taxes to their present ruler than they did to France. respondent at Cohlentz says they pay four times more, a' he is nearer the truth. ur eer to' Cologne filled with soldiera, and drawing after) her two large boats, each freighted with a similar cargo. A very numerous assembly collected to wit ness her arrival; and, long after the hour expected, she appeared an .object of more than common inte rest. The deck of the steam-boats, and the boats, her companions, presented thick groups of soldiers, and the flag of Prussia waved from her stern over the Rhenish water, while the Prince, with the sol diery, cheered the people • but the voice of the people responded not, and the enthusiasm lived bat on the river. The boats passed on to Cologne, and in my next letter I hope to be enabled to give you an account of their reception in that city. (FRoas ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) CODLENTZ, SEPT. 1.. On my arrival here this morning, I found the town in commotion, in consequence of the intelli- ' gence which had been received of disturbances at Aix-la-Chapelle, and the manifestation of a slight tumult at Cologne. All the troops of the line which were encamped in anticipation of the grand reviews' which were to take place on the sth, 6th, and 7th, have been ordered to both these towns; and, though the express was received at eleven last night, the cavalry were ready to set off and put into motion at three this morning, and part of the regiments of the line were embarked in a steam-boat for Cologne. The remainder follow to-morrow, and there now remain in the camp only the militia, which will be inspected on the appointed days. The grand review has, therefore, lost all its attraction, and it is not expected that there will be any other exhibi tiOn of that nature this year. The letters from Cologne state there were some threatening placards posted on the walls, but the citizens undertook to preserve order, and there was, in consequence, no public disturbance; but the ac counts from Aix-la-Chapelle are most alarming; and it appears that a mob destroyed the house and the factory of Mr. Cockerill, and of others, and that they were proceeding to break open the gaol, when the better order of townspeople became anxious for their own safety, and they instantly took to arms, and a sharp engagement took place between them and the insurgents, and several of the latter were killed. By this prompt decision the tumult was suppressed, the peace of the town was restored, and the citizens undertake to guard it, until they are re lieved by the troops of the line which set out from here this morning. There is a vital distinction between these die- turbances and those which have taken place at Liege and Brussels. In the latter there is ground for a political commotion; but at Aix-la-Chapelle they are content to a certain degree under the Prussian rule, and the riots can be only viewed as the attempts of a mob to plunder the property of their fellow-citizens. The bulk of the population, both there and at Co logne, are in a state of extreme poverty; at the latter place, which contains 60,000 souls, there were 20,000 on the pauper list last winter, supported by alms. You must therefore distinguish between their riots and the revolutionary struggles at Brussels, and be under no apprehension that a rebellion is about to take place in this part of the Prussian do minions. The Government are very properly taking all due precautions, and they are strengthening the frontier towns with troops, to guard against all evil communication with the rays Bas. It is true that the taxes under Prussia on all the line of the Rhine are four times more than they were under France, and the people are ready to complain on that ground ; but their discontent does not amount to disaffection, and you may be assured there iv nothing like an organisation amongst them. Indeed, if Europe was engaged in war again, and France and Prussia opposed, they would readily join the former ; and, as the French will never be satisfied until they have the Rhine as a boundary, you may expect to see a revolution in their favour when that country takes up the sword ;—but not till then. THE MILITARY ATTACKED AT OXFORD, AND SIXTY PRISONERS RESCUED. OXFORD, MONDAY EVENING, TEN O'CLOCK For some days past very serious disturbances have taken place at the seven Otmoor towns in this county, in con sequence of the injury the farmers and others have sustained by the inclosure of an immense tract of commonable land. A great part of the population of the several towns assem bled at different points, destroyed the fences, levelled the banks and mounds, and filled up the ditches, and it is reported that a son of Sir A. Croke, in resisting the rioters, has been severely wounded. On Saturday last, an express arrived in this city for the staff of the Oxfordshire Militia, who soon after set off for Beckley with a plentiful supply of hall cartridges. At eight o'clock the same evening, Lord Churchill's troop of Yeomanry Cavalry marched to Islip. Nothing farther transpired here respecting the riot till this evening about half-past six, when about sixty of the rioters were brought to this city from Islip in waggons, guarded by infantry and a troop of horse. On passing through St. Giles's, (where an immense number of persons had assem bled to enjoy the festivities of a fair, similar to that of St. Bartholomew,) the military were attacked in every direc tion; brick-bats, stones, anti bludgeons, were hurled at them without mercy. The soldiers were determined to secure their prisoners, and the mob were equally determined to release them. The military had rather the advantage till they turned down Beammint-street, which, from St. Giles's, is the nearest way to the county gaol; here the yeomanry were forced one by one from their posts ; and what affioded the mob no little amusement, the officer commanding the troop was the first to ride off. Much praise is due to a serjeant named Bartley, (who is said to have formerly belonged to the 10th Dragoons,) for the courage and humanity with which he did his duty t for some time he sustained the front of the attack alone, nor did the mob succeed in rescuing the prisoners until he was completely disabled. As soon as the prisoners were released, the mob followed the military to the Bath road, where some of the yeomanry galloped off in the direction of Miley, while ethers were obliged to take shelter in the castle. Several of the soldiers are seriously injured. The people here, and at most towns in this neighbour hood, believe the Otmoor people to be cruelly injured, and are much exasperated against their oppressors. It is the general opinion that had the soldiers fired not one of them would have escaped with life. The city is now as perfectly calm as if nothing had happened. 47 N '` Atr PASHA.—Among other striking im provements in the octavo edition of Mr. Huciats's Sta. luable and instructive work upon Greece, will be found a most animated and succinct narrative of the career of the celebrated At.t PASHA of Itannina, whose daring pro ceedings, at one time, commanded the attention of Europe. This extraordinary personage first signalized himself, it appears, as a leader of kleftes or robbers, and subdued by stratagem the towns of Chormovo and Delvino. Joan nina soon fell into his power, when he immediately pro claimed himself Derven Paslut. At.t's ambitious views now received a check from the determined resistance of the brave Suliots. The Vannes intrigues with Nara- Lzoo—his capture of Prevesa anti correspondence with Lord Cou,roawoon—the subjection of the Tzamouriot Beysthe surrender of Parga by the British—the PASHA'S opposition to the PozTz—and finally his trea cherous murder by MEHMET PASHA—successively present themselves as the leading features of his eventful life. A more intensely-interesting narration (and one more replete with anecdote) would be difficult to conceive. WILL OF THE LATE DUKE DE BOUR stort.—ln the Messager des Cliumbres of Sunday we find this statement :—" The following has been communi cated to us. The .Duke tie Bouneox, Prince de Conde, who has just died in so deplorable and extraordinary a manner, has left an olograph will, dated August 30, 1829, which was deposited with RAIN, the notary, and by which his whole fortune passes to HENRY EUGENE PHI..

REVOLT OF THE ANGELS, BY THE AUTHOR OF " CAIN THE WANDERER."—Lownox, 1830. In the elevated character of their intellect there is no faint resemblance between Mr. Reade, the author of the noble production before us, and the late lamented Percy Shelley. Both are poets of the loftiest order of imagination, both are metaphysicians, and both are fond of speculating, to the hazard of their popularity, on the mysteries of man, of nature, and of creation. Occasionally ;00, both are obscure even to being unintelligible, but this is less frequently the case with the author Cain the Wanderer" than the author o " Prometheus Unbound." Mr. Shelley, indeed, is often so dreamy, so abstracted in his metaphysical reveries, that the reader may think himself fortu nate if he can contrive to glean even a Mount Pisgah view of his meaning. As for grappling with him in the way of argument, it is out of the question ; one might as well attempt to grasp a shadow, or battle with the wind. There are not a few passages in the Revolt of Islam," which are more difficult of comprehension than the abstrusest portions of ./Eschylus or Pindar. Men of little faith must not presume to approach them. They are visible only to the eye of imagination. Mr. Reade's metaphysics, as a body, are of a far less obscure and complex character. If they be not altogether of so imaginative an order as Shelley's, neither are they so impalpable or per. plexing. They leave to the reader the option of assent or dissent. For ourselves we must con- fess we are not partial to the union of poetry with metaphysics. It is an ill-sorted conjunction, which seldom turns out well. The one per petually hampers the other. If the poet wish to soar high up into the empyreum, the metaphy sician is sure to restrain his flight, encumber his ideas, and throw a cloud over his sunniest thoughts. So far as mere popularity is con cerned—and afterall, we are inclined to believe, in nine cases out Of ten, this is the true touch stone of desert—there is no question that the less acquaintance with metaphysics a poet possesses the better. Prose is the legitimate province of this department of mind, hence that poetry is usually the most prosing which has the strongest leaven of it. In the drama its introduction is particularly unseasonable. Mr. Coleridge, we suspect, found out this in his " Remorse," when he bewildered poor Elliston by putting into his mouth passages which, from their refined meta physical character, it was impossible for him er any other actor—the most unintellectual of God's creatures is your high tragedy man—to comprehend. In his present performance Mr. Reade deals far less in metaphysics than in his '' Cain." His "Revolt of the Angels" ambles on at an easy pace, unincumbered by prolix speculations on the mys teries of Creation. It is a dramatic poem, con sisting of two parts, the first of which describes the Revolt of Lucifer and his myrmidons against the Almighty ; the second, the Creation of Adam and Eve, (the former by the arch-fiend, as a means whereby he may introduce evil into the world, the latter by the Deity himself, as a sort of counteracting power,) and their subse quent Fall from Paradise. In the " Revolt of the Angels" occurs a passage of as daring a character as any to be met with in ancient or modern poetry—it is the ascent of the rebellious fiends up to the very throne of the Almighty, and their immediate overthrow—a difficult subject to de scribe, but one which Mr. Reade has executed with consummate sagacity. An ordinary poet would have made sad work with such a descrip on : " MICHAEL. " Behold the deep and battalions front Of th' infinite Hosts that skirt the Empyrian, Gathering around like some ill-ornen'd cloud, Lowering, and dark, and massive, and edged round With lightnings and false terrors—mockery Of Him from whom is borrow'd all ! Lo, how Their godlike leaders, stars for ever &IN, Are threatening in their front ! and now.—ev'n now All fixedly and slowly are ascending, Up to the throne itself of God ! " GABRIEL. " What Hosts Innumerable! what shall be the end? " RAYHAEL. " Already thvy close in upon and darken The everlasting rays that shoot forth Irom The Sanctuary of Light ! " GABRIEL. " lie rises yet— He enters in the very precincts of The Holy of Holies—and they follow him! " AkAZTIEL. " And yet unblasted—and he still moves on ! Now by the living God, his hand is on— [ Thunderings and Lightnings. " " Away !—.'tis forth—the Almighty is revealed ! " AItAZYZI. " lie falls ! they fall by thousands and by millions— They are hid i'tbe mass of lightnings and strange fires! They struggle with agony a moment !—now They are driven, crush'd as a cloud before the winds, Melted, and scathed, and blasted, and o'erthrown !" The characters of Adam and Eve, as em bodying the opposite principles of good and evil—by the way the author's gallantry is much to be commended, which puts forth the lady as the representative of good—are finely discri minated, and stand out in forcible relief to each other. The instinct of Eve leads her at once to virtue; she cannot argue, she can only feel—while Adam, whose intellect is of a sterner, coarser, and more comprehensive cast, desires to know the why and wherefore he should embrace good from choice. His ruling passion is ambition, and he chooses to be convinced of the omni- potence of virtue through the medium rather of reason than sensibility. Eve feels that she is happy, and is content with this knowledge ; Adam clings to the metaphysics of the question, and rejects happiness if it be not received through the medium of the intellect. This is in strict accor dance with man's and woman's nature. For one man that is tolerably happy, nine women, we verily believe, are completely so. These restless and inquisitive yearnings—this craving thirst for knowledge on the part of Adam who is but a modification of Cain — are ably depicted. Mr. Reade has here drawn not from books, but from himself ; Ins own heart has been his chief inspiration. The following line, descriptive of Adam's hankering after solitude,, is lull of vigour. He would de sire, he says, to dwell in utter loneliness : " Where not a fdlling leaf might break the stillne'A•" Equally felicitous and true to nature, is the :r IiPITI..V7. 0 description of his feeli n g s on bursting into • istence.
