4IUTERA R Y A ND SCIENTIFIO INTELLIGENCE. Ligum. yattious souncvs.] (No. XIII.) MODERI'I Q-REEK THEATRE.—Voltaire's Ma lioraet Death of Cresar have been performed at Odessa in the Greek language to a numerous audilnce, almost entirely composed of Greeks. lictkpieces were received with great enthusiasm. Ainong the actors Drak.ouli, a native of Ithaca, las greatly applauded both for his intonation and action. The admiration which this per former excited was not owing to the mere no -,elty of the representation, and the inexperience of his judges; for he was no less applauded by thse 'Germans and other foreigners who were present. PArionkmAg.—Professnr John Adam Breysig, ail architect and scene painter of considerable -eminence in Germany, and author of various essays on perspective and theatrical decoration,' has published a paper in the Berlin and Speller Zeitung,by which he lays claim to the merit of being the original inventor of the Panoradas, the principle of .winch he discovered before our in genious countryman Barker. AGRICULTUIIE AND RURAL ECONOMY.---A Society has been instituted at Frankfort on the Oder, for the advancement of Agriculture and - Rural Economy, upon which important objects they purpose to bestow the utmost attention. l'hey design to publish their transactions, and likewise the programmas of the subjects proposed by them for prize-dissertations. ScvLPTunE.—The Spanish sculptor, Alberis, is making great progress at Rome with his beau tiful group of Nestor and Antilochus, which was greatly admired in the plaster-model, as being, one of the most felicitous compositions of mo dern art. The wounded old man has fallen upon.his knee, and the youth rushes forward, and catches him with one arm, while he attacks his adversary with the other, totally regardless of his own life, and only anxious to save his pa. rent, who attempts to moderate his precipitate impetuosity. The figures are of heroic size, and excite universal astonishment and approbation. Thorvaldsen himself said that he should be proud of such a noble performance. What renders this -work the more extraordinary is, that the artist, who is not a young man, has never till now produced any thing at all above mediocrity. It is affirmed, that Alberis says he was animated to the conception of this group by the situation of his native country, and that he availed himself of a circumstance in the history of Nestor, in order to allegorize it ; Antilochus is, therefore, a per sonification of that popular energy and enthusiasm which is striving to raise and defend an ancient kingdom. Sofa, another Spanish artist, has likewise ex hibited a group of extraordinary merit. It re presents a mother who is instructing her infantile SOD to shoot, and assists him to draw the string of the bow with one hand, while she is directing -the arrow with the other. It is needless to in quire what is the history attached to these figures, or the particular incident _here repre .sented, since their exquisite beauty and sportive grace sufficiently prove to the spectator that they are _ _ _ Dame Venus and her sagittary boy, Who work to gods and men such sweet annoy ! ROMAN ANTIQUITIES AT CASTOR.—Since the late discovery of Roman remains at this place, there has been found a tesselated pavement of extraordinary splendour and beauty ; it is sur rounded by a strong foundation, and is in the most perfect state of preservation. There have been discovered likewise many other articles and carious specimens of Roman manufacture, such as floors of painted plaster, urns, coins, trinkets, and four pieces of elephant's horn. TAsso. The Abbate Pier Antonio Serassi, the biographer of the illustrious Italian bard, has recently collected, during ,a tour through Italy, -upwards of 250 unedited letters of the poet, --which he is now preparing to give to the world ; the will be published by Bernardoni of Milan. VICENIii LITERARY CENSUS.—According to the report of a German Journal, there are at pre sent in this city 450 authors, 50 publi4ters and booksellers, 27 printing offices, 18 music, print and' map warehouses, and 10 lithographic esta blishments. NADRI o.—Music.--The- celebrated Virtuoso Lorenza Nunez Correa gave several Concerts dur-- ing the winter at the hotel San Fernando : they were opened by the symphony to Rossini's Gazza Ladra. 'The instrumental performance was any thing brit excellent; Correa, however, who is still a very handsome woman, though now in her Fortieth year, sang with exquisite simplicity, taste, and feeling. Don Mariano, Iludalge, and Don Domingo Gallegos also sang. These Con certs were crowded to excess, but the audience consisted almost exclusively of the male sex, very few females being present ; and among those hardly-any of rank. CLEAtiltiG OyMEDALS.—Professor Lancellotti, d the Royal Institute at Naples, read at a late sitting of that society an account of - the process which he employs in order to remove from ancient silver medals-the rust that covers and often ren ders them illegible, Ile first lays the medal in .oxydated acid of salts, afterwards in a solution of , sal-ammoniac for a short time; then rubs it with a piece of linen until all the rust disappears.— His experiments have always been attended with success; and the discovery is of importance to those who study numismatics, since a great num ber of siker medals, the inscriptions of which have not hitherto been legible, may now be rea '.4exed so. • ItEDUCTION O TAXES.—The ne cessity and expediency of striking off a pOrtion of the NATIONAL PERT is very ably argued in the : Pamphleteer, No. 36,Sust published- 4y 'which it proved that the s injury to the Public'qedi tor will be very little felt. 'rile subject is ex pected to be brought - under consideration during this Session of Parliament. In the same,NuEnber .are published Bowr.us' Letters to Lord BYRON ; B. BEAUMONT on the Criminal. Code ; CORNARO on Longevity ; with several other Pamphlets, rortEic N 111 TELT,IGE N CE. FRENCH PAPERS. Pettis ; MAY King yesterday held a Council of Ministers. llis Majesty gave a pri vate audience to the Prince de Castelcicala, the Neapolitan Ambassador, and transacted business with the Duke de Richelieu.—M. Pozzo di Borgo, the Russian Ambassador to the Court of France, bas returned from Laybach to Paris.— Lord Holland has arrived at-Paris with his family and suite.—Private letters from Naples of the 11th May state - that some disturbances had broken out in Calabria, but they had been quelled, and several Carbonari had been shot in that pro vince.—The intelligence from the frontiers of Spain states that subjects of Sardinia and the Two Sicilies, who had taken part in the late disturb- ances, were flocking into Catalonia.—According to intelligence from Constantinople of the Btl - 1 May, the New Grand Vizier Benderli Ali had scarcely been installed before a Erman of the Grand Signor exiled him to Cyprus, his adminis tration having only lasted ten days. His dis grace is attributed to the excessive • cruelties of which he was guilty. It appears that the greatest part of the islands of the Archipelago have shaken off the yoke of the Ottoman Porte, and that the squadron fitting out at Constantinople was destined to reduce them. NAPLES, MAY 17.—General Frimont precipi tately quitted this capital yesterday, and set out for Lay bach, whither he proceeds in all haste.— The Prince of Hesse Homhourg has taken the command of the army in his absence. The Austrians are about to form a camp in the envi rons of this city. VIENNA, MAY 23.—Hostilities having corn menced between the Greeks and Wallachian Insurgents a►►d the Turks, a short distance from our frontiers, the Aulic Council of War has sent orders to reinforce the Cordon of Observation on the frontiers of Turkey. The Russian Army also, commanded by the Count.de Witgenstein, is advancing on the banks of the Pruhe, which separates the Russian territory from tl►: province of Moldatia.—Never, at any period, was the Porte in such a critical situation. S3tY:',NA,Apitir.9.6.—This port is a prey to the most lively alarms. All the Greeks have sud denly taken refuge in the mountains. The Turks, alarmed, have, according to their custom, set fire to the Grand Bazaar of the Jews. This edifice has been burning these two days. The Franks, and all the Europeans, with their most valuable effects, have sought shelter on board the vessels. MADRID PAPERS. PAMPELUNA, MAY 14.—Yesterday, about noon, the famous priest, Don Isidro Salaza, was arrested on the mountain Yanci, only three quar ters of a league from the frontiers of France. With him were arrested Don Francisco Lazaroti, formerly Captain of the First Regiment of Na varre, a former soldier of the same Regiment, and a guide of the country, who accompanied them. Salaza had no papers about him, and only 31 half-piastres. Lazaroti had no money, but a few papers relative to his promotion in the army, and a Proclamation, dated 25th April, from Santa Cruz de Pampezo, addressed to the people of Alava, Biscay, and Guipuscoa. SEVILLE, MAY 11.--By a dispatch from Don Pedro San Mez, Judge of the First Instance, at Xeres de la Frontera, province of Cadiz, dated the Bth instant, it appears that judicial proceed ings are instituting by the Political Chief of that province, on account of a conspiracy against the Constitutional system, and to re-establish abso lute Government, in which are implicated many persons, some of whom are arrested, and others have fled, to take whom the most active and effi cacious means have been adopted, There are a great number of persons arrested both at Xeres and at Santa Maria ; among those at Xeres is the Marquis de Atalaya. It is , known that the Guerilla Leader, Pedro Zaislivar, has fled from Ilemes to Gibraltar, with 12,000 hard piastres. MADRID, MAY 21.—A number of persons at Mercia have attempted to renew the scandalous scenes of Barcelona, Carthagena, &c. Lists were drawn up, and numbers of persons assembled with this intention, but, their plans were happily frustrated by the good sense of the well-disposed citizens.—ln the Sittings of the Cortes on the 19th, M. Arnedo brought forward the late un happy events in the Philippine Islands, and pro posed that the Minister should be desired to give an account of them to the Cortes, expressing his - surprise that no communication had been made on the subject. The Minister thought no imputation could lie upon him, engaged as he was 18 hours in the day, if he did not communi cate all the events in the Monarchy, except when they were of such a nature that it was pro per to put the Congress in immediate possession of the facts. The Government was, he said, at all times ready to give the Cortese information upon evety subject which they asked. He after wards read the account which the Government had received of these occurrences. He also read a plan for the better Government of these Islands, and to promote their prosperity. DUTCH, lIAMBURGII, AND FLANDERS MAILS. STOCKHOLM, MAY 18.—By a courier arrived from Christiana, the news has been brought that the Storthing, not regarding the proposal of his Majesty, has taken a resolution, but with a ma jority of only,two votes, similar to those of the two preceding Storthings, for the abolition of Nobility in Norway . . This resolution cannot, 'however, be carried into effect as a law, till the Storthing shall have complied with the provisions or sec. 105 of the Constitution, in which indem nit-3T is insured to all !hose whose privileges are sacrificed to the general good. It appears that it will not be very easy to fix this indemnity, and on the other hand, it is expected that the government, watching over the Constitutional' Rights of eiery class of citizens, will not be dis posed to follow the Assembly in treating lightly the provisions of the Constitution on this subject. tto more is said of a journey of the King to Nor- I way, before the close of the Sittings of the Diet ; but, it is said his Majesty will go to Christional toward the ehtl of 'the 'summer, to review the troops. BRUSSELS, MAY 29.—Yesterday, the re-build ing of the hall of the States-General was begun. —ln the Secret Sitting of the Second Chamber, which continues the discussion of the new Civil Code, an important point was decided to-day by a majority of 39 to 25 votes, namely, the age at 'which minority ceases. Twenty-four years was the age proposed in the plan, but, the majo rity of the Chamber have fixed it at 23 years, without difference of sex.—Mr. Hennequin, for merly Member of the- Second Chamber, now Burgomaster of the city of Maestricht, and seve ral 11embers of the Provincial States, are sum moned before the Tribunal of, Liege, accused of having refused to organize the city guard upon the same footing as in the northern provinces of the kingdom. Mr. Ilennequin has chosen for his Counsel M. Beyens, jun. the same also who so successfully pleaded the cause of the Vicar- General of Ghent before the Court of Assize of South Brabant. This new trial will be extremely important.—His Majesty being informed that several parishes in New Zealand were in want of pecuniary assistance to repair the Dutch Re formed Churches, has granted, as we learn, the sum of 54,000 florins, in various proportions, to 28 churches in that province. • HAmovua, MAY `2s.—lfis Royal Highness the Duke of Camluidge, with his Consort, set out yesterday for .the Castle of IZumperheirn, in Hesse, whence he will proceed to London, to be present at the. Coronation. The General As sembly of the States of the kingdom met again yesterday. POSEN, MAY 18.—His Majesty the Emperor of Russia will arrive to-morrow at Czenstochon, on his return from Laybach to St. Petersburgh. From THE MAIN, MAY 9.s.—The great quan tity of gold and ducats, and Frederick d'Ors, which now goes to England, is bought up for the approaching visit of the King, and will therefore, for the most part, come back to Germany. The English find this more profitable than to part with their guineas below the course, especially as they can dispose of them at Ole Bank with Agio. BOHEMIA, MAY 15.—1 t is said that 10 batta lions of Hungarian infantry have marched for Italy, and that all the light cavalry in Hungary have received orders to be in readiness to march. —Two battalions of Yagers have marched from Moravia for Italy; and in the Austrian States, all the men absent on furlough have been called in, and are exercised. CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 13.—1 t is certainly believed that Prince Alexander Ypsilanti has fled. His brother Demetrius is at Odessa. Aly Rhyza Paella, formerly Grand Vizir, who was banished to Gallipoli, is appointed Commander against the rebels in the 'Morea. They practise the most dreadful cruelties. A few days ago 14 Turks arrived here, who had had their noses, ears, and both hands cut off by the Greeks in Moldavia.— It may be conceived what en impression 'this sight made on the people—order was, however, maintained. %%rEDDEN, MAY 3.—Prince Ypsilanti has now been joined by Prince Cantecuzena, a descend ant of the Greek Emperors. BRUSSELS, MAY 29.—0 n the 25th of this month, Messrs Hope and Co. gave notice on the Exchange of Amsterdam, that they should send, by express from Madrid, the official information of the decision of the Cortes relative to the debt due to Holland. It is, 1. Spain is to pay the interest due from 11th Sept. 1820, to the 31st Dec. 1820. 2. That from the 17th Jan. 1821, the account current of the interest is to be opened, to commence from that time, and so on consecu tively. 3. That the Government will lay before the Cortes, as soon as possible, a suitable mode for the payment of the remaining arrears of in terest, in order to come to a general liquidation. This news caused an agreeable sensation on 'Change at Amsterdam. BaussEr.s, MAY 31.—Letters from the fron tiers of Transylvania of 10th May say, that the entrance of the Turkish troops into Wallachia is expected every moment. The Grand Seignior sent orders to the Commanders of all the fortres ses to treat the Insurgents with the utmost rigour, and it is well known what this Turkish style means, and what they must expect.

The cold and winterly weather of the present month has seriously affected both corn and fruit. The fields, which a few weeks since exhibited an appearance that promised an abundance of all the desirable productions of the earth, are very much altered ; the grass has lost much of its ver dure and assumed an autumnal tinge, and the corn fields look very yellow and unhealthy.— The frosts have.severely cut the crops, particu larly apples, of which there is now expected but a short crop. There has been a frost almost every night this month, and some of them have been so sharp that. ice the thickness of a shilling has been observed. There was a fall of snow on Saturday morning on Bexley Hill, which lasted nearly an hour; the thermometer at that time was below 40 degrees; on the 26th of last month it stood as high -as 73 i❑ the shade.—(frfaidsto!!e Journql,) SIR 11.

Qui n'agit quo pour soh feignant d'agir pour Rome ; Cinna par Corneille. Black-rock, Friday night, May 11th, 1821. GENTLEMEx_Perhaps there is no question which has more engaged the attention of both ancient and modern times, than that which involves in it s di scuss i on th e cons ide ra ti on of what form of Government is best adapted to ascertain civil rights and to confirm and secure human happiness—to place limits to po pular encroachments, under the pretence of extending civil and religious liberty, whilst the just and necessary prerogatives at tached to the executive, department of the State, shall b pro tethed from violation, at the same time that they shall be regu laf.ed and controuled bylaw. On a general review of the best authorities, historical and political, extant, I find no difficult} , in deciding that the very worst species of Government iva de mocracy, when 'occasioned by a revolution, and effected either by the infidelity of the .subjects from anexpectation of privilege, or the profligacy, fraud, and ambition of the intriguing discon tentedipatriot from an expectation of distinction. It i s a most remaraable fact, Gentlemen, in the history of Republican Rome, that when Plebeians were .first allowed to be eligible, . and to elect to the greatoffices of State, they did not choose a single Magistrate from their own order, from a perfect conviction of their intellectual inferiority ; and under the Government of A thenstwhich was purely democratical, and, whicliwas perpetu ally defiled with the blood of her heroes and her most exemplary citizens--as enumerated by Lucian, in his " Dialogue against giving oo rash an assent to calumny," the virtuous Phocian, when dragged to an ignominious death, to which lie had been unjustly and infamously condemned by the People ' declared that he had expect e d to he e x ecu t e d, f or th a t such h a d been the fate of every illustrious Athenian before him. Nor do the.hrii liant exploits of this Republic afford any proof of the energy and superior advantage of a Deniocratic Constitution.; for they were invariably performed when the Nation was, directed and governed by some eminent individual, in whose hands at the time were , invested the entire powers of the State, so that in fact the characteristic and essential principles of the democracy were wholly suspended. For it signifies but little, Gentlemen, After what name a Government may be called, when it, acts on principles directly at variance with the terms of its assumed de nomination 9 • and there cannot be one instance adduced, in the history of Athens and the ancient Republics, where weakness, confusion, and cruelty did not constantly succeed to the resump tion by the people d the helm of Governthent into their own hands—whilst the first exhibition of their authority was gene rally the degradation or the death of those individuals to whose valour, virtues, or patriotism, they owed their se curity and renown. The treatment- Of Hannibal, by the people of Carthage—of Coriolanus, Camillus, the Scipios, Cicero anti other illustrious characters, by the demagogues of Rome, 11l ii tiades, Themistocles, Aristides, Cimon, Timotheus, Alcibiades Phocian--inen whose names' even at this hour, excite reverence and enthusiasm—were condemned-by- their inhuman country men, as a reward for their glorious achievements, to fines, im prisonment, exile, or death. Again, in England, during the daring usurpation of that puritannical villain Cromwell, though the form of government was denominated a commonwealth, yet, surely no Sovereign was ever more absolute or acted under less controul, than the insidious Protector did. For a nation en tirely governed by one man, is an absolute Monarchy, and not a Republic. The tyrannical barbarity of Mark Anthony occa sioned even Cicero to wish that Brutus had • not assassinated Cwser ; in like manner, the real friends of liberty in France considered the existence of the Bastile as comparatively a less evil than the.caprizious and bloody ferocity of the savages who destroyed it. If one man more enlightened and more daring .than another ventures to express his abhorrence of your Repub lican Reformers, or of those ill-judged and,dangerous ments directly leading to a revolution, under the lying appella tion of ainiversal, civil, and religious liberty, or unlimited suf frage and annual turbulence, the equally false pretekt of Par liamentary Reformation, he isimmediately assailed by a host of patriotic and infidel place-hunting vagabondan who insi diously hold him up to the indignation, and perhaps the daggers of furious and intolerant bigots, as the mercenary advocate or claimant either for despotism or preferment. But the.refiecting and religious subjects of greatly exalted' and still (thank, GOD and the virtuous House of Peers) Protestant England, glory in their Constitution, because they are conscious of enjoying the purest and most perfect system of rational liberty that ever.. existed since the first institution of civil society. Let certain , violent and patriotic demagogues, then, reflect deeply upon the serious and awful subjects which I am now discussing for your information and consequent welfare ; let them be advised by me, that every link they continue to add to the chain of popular encroachments, they advance a step towards popular insurrec tion ; and that the Parliamentary Reform which they meditate, will alone prove the precursor of a national convulsion, involv ing within its vortex the Religion, the Laws, and the Liberties of the British Empire—let them take warning, before it may • be too late, by the calamities of Athens, of Dome, and above • all, of Franca; and should the dread of an imprisonment in Newgate for almost overt acts of treason, under the mild and beneficent sway of probably the ablest and most gene-1 roils Monarch that ever sat upon a Throne, not be of suf ficient weight to teach them loyalty and allegiance, under I the reign of our PRESENT venerated Sovereign King, let those Apostles, I say, tremble at the certain prospect, the realization of which I predict for them, of being hanged for ultra liberality under the unfurled and bloody banners of a FUTURE Sove reign People ; for their attempts, if successful, must inevitably terminate in universal anarchy, or in confirmed despotism.— Gentlemen, if every kingdom in the universe were to encounter even the most horrible of all calamities, a civil war, in 'order to Obtain such a Constitution as England enjoys, it would not be surprising. But that persons should exist in the bosom of your Aristocracy, desperate enough to disseminate principles, and to foment passions, which directly tend to the subversion of your Protestant Church, and the desolation of your civil Establish ments ; that societies, clubs, and dinner parties, should be held in your capital, and meetings summoned in your counties and your towns, for the sole purpose of maturing plans for the dis organizetion, under the pretence of reform, and of reproducing the results of Gallie liberty and equality, under the deceitful glare of British civil, and popish liberty, is a manifestation of human depravity or patriotic effrontery unexampled as it is hideous and detestable, and it is scarcely to be credited, even by those who are so unhappy its to witness it, whilst the chief glory of their existence consists in their having the talents and the firmness to deprecate and expose it. Gentlemen, intimately acquainted as I am with the Constitution of every State in ancient and modern times, and with the causes of their decay, or exaltation, itia quite impossible for me to remain silent when I can foresee in' the conduct of some members of the most vene rated families in your country, a systematic and determined resolution to identify their principles, their actions, and their politics, with the declamations, .the writings and the blasphe mies of greatest ruffians that ever disgraced or degraded the moral character of any nation upon record, and with the sole selfish object of forcing themselves into place and power, not undermining, but, as was justly said'of .Julius Caesar, by Q. Catullus, Pima:Era SE NAT US, " storming the Constitution with a battering ram." ~et those puny, contemptible states men be well assured, that in the event of success they would be Vie very first victims offered up on the altars of blind and fero cious brutality ; and with this advice let them be cautious how they continue to shake the massy corinthian pillars of that Constitution, " for the sake of removing a few specks froth its surface," an adherence to which has been the great cause of ex alting the British Empire to a height of splendour and renown, unexampled in the history of this world; whilst the powerful energies of that commercial nation of shop-keepers, as the mur derous tyrant and oppressor not only of France, but of hotrified Europe, called her, directed- by the-wisdom and firmness, not of ALL THE TALENTS, certainly, but of the ablest and most virtuous Prime Minister Great Britain ever had, tumbled this blood-stained fiend from his throne ; and having preserved his capital from the fire and massacre of northern and infuriated bar barians, dus t • now, tempering justice with mercy, confine him self, not in chains or-in a dungeon, the merited fate of such an abandoned, bunions reprobate, but with all the luxuries and comforts of life,, in a palace erected by the generosity of Great Britain, and. alone •restricted as to residence, in possibly that single spot in _the universe that could have been selected sufli ently secure to guard the destinies of outraged, violated Europe, . froth the hypocritical and ferocious machinations of the cruel immolator of the mild, the virtuous, the basely kidnapped, and subsequently butchered, Enghien. And, Gentlemen, is it for the purpose of trying similar experiments in this great and happy Empire, that you will not only permit, but cheer and applaud ideots and mountebanks, as well-before as after their Stomachic regeneration, in their daring efforts, under the appel lation of Reform, to overturn the Monarchy and the liberties of your Country. Reflect upon 'the consequences of the abolition of Royalty in other States, the vital, the sole pursuit of theirre ligious vagabonds who have been so long disturbing your minds by their- speeches, and blasting your prosperity by their acts. What did the people ever gain by a republican form of govern ment, I ask you? Look. to that. once extolled mistress of the world, Rome, and let her bloody records , inform you, that a power over the lives, liberties, and properties of her duped eitisens in4nitely beyond what had ever been elninaed by their itngS--:a power, undefinad, monstrous, and unlimited, vested in .the hands of her Dictators, Consuls, and other Ma gistrates, who, always exercised it with the most severe rigour, and sometimes the greatest w a nto nness an d oppress i on. And never forget, Gentlemen; amidst the ravings of your incen diaries, that the short but often repeated formula—" ne quid Respublica detrimenti eaperet"--at once frequently delivered ' over that boasted freedom your ideot Patriots wish to obtain for Englishmen, to the uncontroulable authority o f a s i ng l y Magistrate, invested by law, by uktge, and - the Constitution, with supreme and "pnnatural pttwe 3 ?; not accountable to any 'lonian tribunal for his exercise of it; and this despotic Ma gistrate nominated, niitid Not by the People, but by another Magistrate, for the object always was, as it ever will b e , i n a republic, " notwithstanding th e wisdom of a Lambton or a Russell," to keep down and to- oppress the people. And attend to this extraordinary fact, Gentlemen Reformers, that in the history of Rome you will find but one solitary instance wh e r e the people, with their boasted liberty, nominated this Chief;—and this I declare to you on the authority of a more credible - historiau than even Joseph Hume—of Livy, who takes care lo tell us it was the single instance—" quod nunquum • ante eumdiem factum erat." this won d rou s repu bli can event happened in the• Second Punic war , when the peopl e named V. Fabius Maximus Pr o -Di c t a t or , the Consul being then absent. What will Hunt, Hobhouse, and that' countermarching. proser, Sir Robert Wilson, with Miehael Angelo's hungry friend Lambton, say . to this fact ? Let them look at the, motto which ushers in this Letter, and re fl ec t deeply awl seriously in the interval between the present and - ensuing Sessital Of Parliament on its substance 'and import.
