.FORELGN IN VELLIGENCE. PARI.,, Nov. 16.—The King yesterday trans acted business with the Duke de Richelieu. His Majesty received in the evening the grand deputation of Peers, with their address. Letters from Frankfort, of the 10th instant, say, the Prince de Metternich set out on that day to return to Vienna. The number of Greeks at Vienna amount to 2.CCO. Letters from Smyrna, of the 4th October,' state that the city was perfectly tranquil. Letters from Perpignan, if the sth November, say—" Private letters, which arrived this even ing by the Courier from Catalonia, give very alarming details. It appears that notwithstand ing the change of temperature, time malady has lost nothing of its malignancy. If we may credit the information contained in them, Dr. Bally has followed his young colleague to the tomb, Dr. Alazel, and the contagion was spreading in some villages in the neighbourhood of Barcelona, situ ated between that city and the sanitary cordon." —(Gazette (le France.) It is certain that Lieut.-Gen. Rapp is dead. The Sieur Morale, one of the Forest Guards, who pretended to have discovered an ambuscade in the Bois de Boulogne, has written, acknow ledging that the whole was a stratagem of his own, in order to give a high idea of his own vigi lance and fidelity, and obtain his promotion to the rank of Guard General. He has been placed at the disposal of the Procureur du Rol. Letters from Stutgard state, that the Grand Duke Michael of Russia is about to marry in a short time the Princess Frederica Charlotte Maria, daughter of Prince Paul of Wirtemberg. The most recent letters from Odessa state, that the freedom of that port is finally esta blished. Lisbon Papers, to the 31st October, have ar rived, and contain no news of importance. FRENCH FUNDS.

MUNICH, Nov. 6.—Private letters from War saw and Petersburgh state, that Russia will not take part in any Congress ; but it is nevertheless believed that a Congress of the Powers of Ger many will be held, at which England will take a part, on account of Hanover. 020 ESSA, OCT. 20.—Those of our troops which are in Bessarabia, under the orders of Generals 'Wittgenstein and Milloradowitsch, have their ad vanced posts on the banks of the Pruth. The villages are filled with troops of all arms, and new troops are advancing towards the South. The latest intelligence from Constantinople is of the 14th. The Turks are assembling their principal force on the Danube. The Pacha of Broussa, who was at Bujukdere during the stay of the Baron de Strogonolf, has set out for Ito rnelia. New troops were every day arriving at Constantinople from Asia. VIENNA, N ov. 3.—lt is asserted that the Porte has received accounts from Petfrsburgh, which no longer leave any doubt that tf►e Greeks are to .be abandoned to their fate ; but this statement requires confirmation. Nov. 4.—We have still reason to believe in peace, and letters from Constantinople of the 10th October confirm our reports. At the latter capital, tranquillity was perfectly re-established, and commerce began to revive. The armaments continued, but they were merely measures of precaution. It is not true, as has been stated in several Journals, that the Standard of the Pro phet had been hoisted on the Mosque of St. Sophie. The Austrian Observer of this day has pub lished the text of the Treaty concluded -on the 20th of July last, at Novarra, between Austria, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia ; according to which an Austrian corps of 12,000 men is to form a military line in the Sardinian States, for maintaining tranquillity, in conjunction with the Sardinian troops. In this Treaty it is, -among other things, stipulated, that if unforeseen cir cumstances should induce the King of Sardinia to desire the reinforcement of this corps, the Austrian Commander in Lombardy is authorised to send a reinforcement, without waiting for or ders from his Court. It is also provisionally re solved, that this military occupation shall conti nue until the month of September, 1822, at which time the Allied Sovereigns are to assemble at Florence, and, in concert with the King of Sar dinia, take into consideration the state of his Kingdom, in order to resolve whether the occu pation shall be prolonged or terminated. Nov. s.—'/he Austrian Observer, which for some time past has been quite silent respecting news from Constantinople (probably on account of the absence of the Prince de Metternich,) contains, this day, an article, of which the follow ing are extracts :--- The last reports from' Constantinople dated the 10th of October state that the junction of the Turkish fleet with that of the Captain Bey, as - well as with the Egyptian and Algerine squa drons, making together a fleet of 64 sail, is con- Armed. The appearance of this fleet has spread terror into the Morea and the Isles. Up to this time it was known only at Constantinople, that the fleet had blockaded the Greek ships stationed in the Gulfs of Motun and Avarin, and in other parts of the Southern Peninsula. Such of the Greek ships as have returned to Hydra, Ypsara, &c. will not come out ggain this autumn.* The Greeks have abandoned A thens, and the Turks took possession of it, immediately consign ing it to the flames. Hopes are, however, enter tained that the interesting remains of antiquity have been respected by both parties. The Turks still maintain themselves in Can- • This is contradicted by the reports of thirty Genoese ships which were stopped at the mouth of the Dardanelles by a Greek squadron, and by other accounts. Lila t. Many foreign adventurers have arrived in the Morea to train the Greeks in the art of war. Contributions of money have also been re ceived at Hydra from foreign countries; but these succours are not at all in proportion to the wants and the dangers of this unfortunate people. TRIESTE, OCT. 20.—There have been lately several large meeting s at Hydra, Spezia, and Ypsara, of Deputies from most of the islands, to consider of the general interests of the islands. It seems that the Greek Authorities newly established iu .o the Isle of Candia are now in treaty with the principal Delegates of the Archipelago. ZANTE, OCT. 3.—lt is said that the Admiralty at Hydra has strictly prohibited every species of piracy, and that the G reek squadrons, now united, observe the most exact discipline. LEGHORN, OCT. `24.—Th►e Greeks are masters of the Morea, with the exception of a few forti fied towns. The war in Epirus and Etolim is nearly terminated.. The Greek Chiefs are in want only of arms and ammunition, and if they suceeed in procuring these essential supplies, we may expect every thing from them. They un derstand perfectly well that they are engaged in a war of extermination with the Turks. Nov. 4.—We have this moment learnt from Genoa that a Greek squadron blockades the Dardanelles, and has sent back 30 Genoese ves sels laden with corn for Constantinople. Comm - , OCT. 15.—(Privatc Correspondence.) —We have certain intelligence from Candia. The inhabitants of this island have appointed a Provisional Government, consisting of twelve Members, who have chosen a Dictator for six months. The Candiotes are in possession of the whole island except two fortresses, which it is supposed the Turks will soon be obliged to sur render. NUREMBERG, Nov. 7.—The correspondence between the Courts of Berlin and Petersburg is very active, and the most perfect concord, it is said, reigns between these two Powers relative to the affairs of Turkey. We have received letters from a respectable source at Petersburg. Since the Emperor returned from Witepsk, lie has been very busy, and fre quently engaged with his Ministers. Messengers have been dispatched in succession to the head quarters of the three armies who are now on the war footing, as well as to the Governors of the Southern Provinces. Nothing has transpired on the subject of the orders given, and the strictest silence continues to be observed at Petersburg on the affairs of Greece. However, it is known that the Emperor persists in all his demands on the Ottoman Porte, and especially on the guaran tee in favour of the Greeks, a point which the Divan still withholds, in spite of the representa tions of the English and Austrian Ministers at Constantinople. MADRID, Nov. I.—An express has arrived from Saragossa, which place he left on the 29th October, and it seems the news he brings is, that reports having been spread that the Government intended to disarm the National Militia, some of the latter, with their Commander, proceeded to depose the Political Chief, Don Francisco Moreda. General Alava arrived two hours after this event : the Political Chief has suffered no insult, but was preparing to retire six leagues from the capital of Aragon, and there await the orders of the Government. Nov. 2.—The Courier of Aragon of this day confirms the above relation. It seems that the people and the garrison did not take part in this affair, and that it was the sole act of the Local Militia. The Political Chief thought it prudent to protest against their proceedings, and to with draw himself in order to prevent any popular commotion. Private letters announce that the people were beginning to be peaceable, sad that the fortunate arrival of General Alava would contribute to restore good order. Nov. 4.—Ttre Universal is officially authorized to contradict the report inserted in the Journal intitled The Echo de Padilla, which stated that vigorous measures had been proposed and adopted in the Council of State, relative to our domestic and foreign political situation. The same Journal publises official documents on the events at Saragossa on the 29th ult. The Political Chief, Moreda, is desired to resume his functions, and has been repremanded for yielding to the demands of a few sedi tious men, it appearing that the late con duct of the Militia was the work of a few disaf fected individuals belonging to that corps, which might have been repressed by firmness on his part. It appears that two or three persons were killed, and several wounded'. The name of Gen. Riego served as a pretext for the first disturb ances, as he is generally liked by the Militia. Nov. 5.—D. Manuel de Castro Pereyra, the Portuguese Charge d'Affaires at our Court, was presented to his Majesty. We learn front Murcia that the threads and ramifications of the conspiracy there are likely to be discovered. On the '24th of October there was a proces sion at Cadiz in honour of the immortal Riego. It passed off very quietly. CEUTA, Ocr. 22.—Our last news from the in terior of the Empire are till the 13th, and state, that Muley Soliman being informed that his nephew, Muley Zeid, had a plan to surprise the capital, and seize on his uncle's treasure, set out with his army towards Mequinez. The two armies met at ZeJern, and Zeid was so com pletely routed, that lie had no resource but to fly to the sanctuary of Muley Dris, which he is said to have entered barefooted, and to re main there imploring his uncle's forgiveness. The Santon of Hdazar, as before stated, was killed in the battle. CADIZ, OCT. 26.—8 y the reports that have been received it is known that the state of the yellow fever was as follows At Port St. Mary's, from the 13th to 23d inclusive—Deaths 89, cured 191, sick 235. At Xeres de la Frontera, from the 14th to 23d inclusive—. Deaths 20, cured 16, sick 221. At Lebrija, from the 13 to 20th—Deaths 19, cured 31, s i c k 46. San 'mewl has again been declared infected ; from the 14th to the 22d—Deaths 8, cured 4, sick 13. BARCELONA, OCT.V.—Report of the state of 1- This apression leads us to think that the Turks have pos session of only a few fortified places in Candia, as in the Mona. the yellow fever in Barcelonetta, the Hospital and the City : Remain. New Cases. Cured. Deaths. Oct. 24, 664 67 24 56 25, 629 60 21 43 26, 625 66 17 45 _._ 27, 629 It is to be observed that the above statements contain only the deaths by the yellow fever. The total number of deaths of all descriptions of diseases, in the City and Ilarcelonetta, and the three Hospitals, were, on the 9 4th, 164 ; 25th, 140 ; and 26th, 122. Accounts from Tortosa, of the llth, state as follows :_ " The ten Franciscan Monks who went there are all dead._ Of 300 sheep that entered eight days Ago, all are dead except 17. Till the 26th of September, the number of deaths were 7,000 ; since then from GO to 70 daily, there having been 70 yesterday." LITERARY NOTICE.—" The World in Minia ture."—As one of the principal objects of our Jour nal is to draw attention to Literary Productions of real merit and solid utility, we ought to reproach ourselves for not having taken an earlier notice of this elegant, beautiful, and instructive work. Though it is modestly denominated the World in Miniature, it affords such ample information of every part of the civilized Earth as to add very largely to the general stock of knowledge. Three divisions of this work have appeared. The first comprehends I llyria and Dalmatia, in two volumes. The second contains a very gratifying account of Africa, in four volumes ; and the third, which is all that has hitherto been published, gives a very ample history of Turkey, in six volumes. In the first division there are thirty two beautiful prints, in the second, forty seven, and in the third seventy-three. All these prints exhibit the costume of the several places described, and are coloured with exact confor mity to the original garb and appearance, illus trating the manners, customs, habits, dress, and other peculiarities of the respective inhabitants. The historical and descriptive accounts seem to have been drawn from the most authentic sources, and the whole is written with candour, elegance, and spirit. Though every part of this in teresting work is calculated to afford useful in formation, yet the last six volumes, relating. wholly to Turkey, must chiefly engage the at tention of readers in general, at this period, con sidering the critical situation of that country, and the doubts attending its impending destiny.— The work altogether is brought forward in such a style of elegance as if it were chiefly designed for female readers; but we may venture to say that the importance of its contents entitle it to a place in the library of the man of taste, the critic, and the scholar. If all the future volumes of the work are executed with the same beauty and correctness which characterise what are al ready published, the whole will be considered as a most valuable addition to British Literature.

DANISH LOAN• The following are the terms and particulars of this contract :-- The negociation was conducted in London on behalf of the Danish Government, by Mr. G. Gerson, of the,house of Hambro and Sons, of Co penhagen, and Messrs. A. F. Haldimand and Sons, of London, the contractors. The loan is nomi nally to the amount of 3,000,0001. sterling ; for two-thirds of that sum the Danish Government issue special bonds payable to the bearer, and countersigned by Messrs. A. F. Haldimand and Sons, in the denomination of pounds sterling, and varying in amount from 1001. to 10001. each. To these bonds are attached eighty-two half yearly dividend warrants. The remaining one-third of the loan is in the denomination of marks banco, at the rate of 27 mares and 12 shillings, llamburgh banco ; equal to a Cologne mark of line silver. To these bonds, which are of 1,400 and 2,800 marks banco, eigh ty-two half-yearly dividend warrants are also attached. Denmark engages that one-half of the entire loan shall not be issued until the year.lB2s, when the special bonds, of which it is composed, will be remitted to. London, to be countersigned by Messrs. A. F. llaldimand and Sons. Interest on the loan is at the rate of five per cent. per annum, payable in London, without de duction, by Messrs. B. A. Goldsclunidt and Co. on the 30th June and `3lst December of each year. The dividends on the bonds, vv"nich are in marks banco, to be reduced to sterling money at the current price in London of the ounce of stand ard silver in bars. Redemption of the loan will be completed in 40 years, from the 30th June, 1822. For this pur pose the agents of the Danish Government are commanded to purchase, in the London market, bonds to the amount of 60,0001. annually, for the first twenty-five years ; 90,000/. annually, for the ensuing ten years ; and 120,0001. annually. for the last five years. The bonds so purchased are to be destroyed by being cut in half, of which one part will be sent to , Copenhagen, and the other be deposited in the Bank of England, in the presence of the Danish Ambassador, the agents of the Government, and of a notary public, in the mode adopted for the liquidation of the Prussian bonds. The securities pledged for the interest and re demption of this loan, are-Ist. The revenue arising from the tolls of the Sound, or Sound Dues.—ttd. The mortgages and securities for money advanced by Denmark to the proprietors of estates in her West India Islands.-3d. The net revenue of the islands of St. Thomas, St. Croiz, and St. John. The produce of these revenues, on an average of the last six years, it has been ascertained, has exceeded the annual sum of 250,0001. Mort gage documents, duly executed, of the whole of them, are to be deposited in the Bank of England, under the joint seal of the contractors, the Danish Minister, and of a notary public. In addition to these revenues, Denmark pledges generally, all her other revenues which have not been specially assigned to other purposes. COURT OF SESSlON.—Tuesday morning the Judges of the Court of Session, the LORD ADVOCATE, and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, break fasted, as is customary, with the LORD PRESI DENT, in his• Chambers in Hill-street, and thence proceeded in their carriages to the Parliament House, to open the Session for the winter. All the Judges were present except Lord Gru.ns. The Outer House, since the rising of the sum mer session, has undergone several tasteful alte rations, which contribute much to the grandeur of its appearance. .The floor has been new laid, with an elegant wainscot flooring, cut into che quered forms ; and the two niches for the Lords Ordinaries are very neatly fitted up in a Gothic style. We think, however, it would add greatly to their appearance, and be more appropriate to the loftiness of the room, were a cross, or some such ornament, placed on the top of each of the pilasters.—(Edinburgh Courant, Nov. 15.) ROBBERY AT THE GLASGOW THEATRE.-011 Tuesday night, between nine and ten o'clock, the back door of the Theatre having been left unlocked, was entered, and A number of the cut crystal ornaments of the chandeliers carried away. By the same access, the Saloon was visited, and a number of dancing shoes, belonging to the pupils of Mr. Dewar, carried off. A woman was seen coming out of the Theatre about that time, openly carrying a lighted lantern, but as a great number of workmen are at present employed in decorating the Theatre for the ensuing Musical Festival, she was supposed to have been in with victuals for the men.—(G las gow Courier, N0v.15.) THE CITY MARSIIAL.—We are happy to state that Mr. WONTNEIt was on Saturday in as favourable a way as could be expected ; he passed a good night, and is free from fever. The amputation took place a little below the knee joint, and was performed two hours and twenty minutes after the accident. The melancholy event is much regretted in the City, Mr. W. being much esteemed and respected for the ge neral rectitude of his conduct and urbanity of his manners. The Police, under his immediate di rection, have evinced great sorrow on the occa sion, as he conducted that establishment to the satisfaction of all parties. Munito, the celebrated learned dog, was re cently sold to an t nglish Gentleman, in Paris, for the sum of 1000 francs. THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ? • LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1821, The French Papers of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, Spanish Papers to the Ist, Flanders and Cr ermanJournals,have arrived since our last, from which we give Extracts under the usual head of Foreign Intelligence.—The accounts re specting the question of peace or war are still indecisive : in the mean time the Greeks are making progress against the Turks.—The French Chamber of Peers unanimously agreed to the address in answer to the KING'S Speech, and it was presented to his MAJESTY, on Thursday, by a grand deputation of twenty Peers. The Cham ber of Deputies have been occupied in the scru tiny for the nomination of five Candidates for the Presidency : four only have been nominated, and the scrutiny for the fifth candidate was post poned to Friday. The Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, as we stated in THE SUN of the ith instant, has directed a FLAG STATION to be established at that Colony, for the purpose of communicating with shipping by the use of Captain MARRYAT'S Code of Signals. As we since find that a com munication has been made to LLOYD'S from Hol land on the subject, most probably arising from the information which appeared in THE SUN, we deem it necessary to reprint the NOTICES issued by the Governor, in order to enable the Shipping Interest to avail themselves of the communica tion thus afforded by the establishment of the above-mentioned Flag Station at the Cape.— (From the Cape Torn Gazette, and African Ad vertiser of the 11th Aug. 1821.) Notice is hereby given, that on the first day of September next, a Mg-staff' will be erected on the Lion's Rump, for the purpose of communicating with ships entering Table Bay, by means of Captain Marryat's Code of Signals, now in general use in the Merchant Service. Vessels approaching the land, have, therefore, only to make use of that Code, as directed, for the purpose of either convey ing, or receiving, communications to or from the Signal-post on the Lion's Rump. It is to be recollected, that at this Flag-staff, a Colonial Te le,zraph is also in use ; but no mistake can arise therefrom, if ships in the Offing pay attention to Captain Alarryat's Code., Flags of which are entirely different from those of the Colonial Telegraph. By his Excellency's Command, _ _ (Signed) C. BIRD, Sec. Cape of Good Hope, Aug. 8, 1821. Notice is hereby given, that a Light-house is about to he erected, without loss of time, on some conspicuous spot at the entrance of Table Bay ; the particulars of which will be com municated hereafter. By his Excellency's Command, (Signed) C. BIRD, Sec. Cape of Good Hope, Aug. 8, 1821. FiioM NEW ORLEANS, SErr.l7.—Arrived the brig Clarissa Ann, from Greenock, cargo coals and dry goods. Captain GREEN states, that his vessel was robbed of goods to a large amount, probably 20,000 dollars, by a small piratical schooner ofT Cape Antonio; the schooner was manned with 12 or 14 Spaniards, well armed. They took the flag, and most of the Captain and seamen's clothing, in short, every article of value they could find. The conduct of the pirate was most outrageous, threatening them with instant death in case of their secretion. A few hours before the schooner had robbed the English brig Neptune, from Jamaica, belonging to St. John's/ of 5,000 dollars. Extract of a Letter from Guayaquil, 6th July :—" The ship Fanny, of New York, wag taken possession of by the Government of this place, for the purpose of transporting troops from Chico. Two vessels arrived below last night, with 400 troops, from the same place, and it is presumed that an expedition will soon march against Quito, which will undoubtedly fall into the hands of the Patriots." A long Report on the Paper Currency of Por tugal, drawn up in conformity to the orders of the Cortes, by the new Finance i‘linister, JOSE IGNACIO DA COSTA, has been received iil this country. The object of the Report is to quire into the causes of the present depreciation of the paper currency, and to suggest remedies for an evil severely felt by all classes of the community. IncrlxD.—The outrages in the disturbed part of Ireland continue to be of a very alarming de' scription. The Cork Advertiser of Thursday last enumerates not less than twenty-three housesc which had been broken into by bands of armed ruffians, chiefly on the Sunday night preceding/ and plundered of arms and other property. The same Paper states, that " several other houses'' had been attacked in various quarters. In some instances the villains had been courageously re pulsed by the inmates of the houses which they attacked ; and on two occasions it is supposed that some of the marauders were wounded. 1 general, however, they were but too successful. One of these ferocious bands consisted of nearly eighty men, well mounted. [From the Dublin Correspondent.] " According to various accounts which have reached us, the disturbances in the County of Cork are extending, and becoming in appearance more inveterate, as outrage and spoliation pr°' reed in their enormities. Government are adopt' ing the most strenuous measures, compatible % sit!' the existing laws, for asserting th e au th or ity °f the State, and preserving the peace. The did' culty hitherto has been to find Magistrates to di' rect the military ; for, in some districts, the Ma: gistrates are few, arid many of those old and infirm ; and there are not persons of sufficien t consideration in others to be entrusted with th e commission of the Peace. We believe it is in; ' tended, in all such cases, to grant Commissions 0 i the Peace to the Captains in command of de' tachments." Mr. MAINWA]UNG, in his admirable "Observations on the Present State of the Police of the Metropolis," has courageoll l ' ly called the attention of Government and the country to t" appalling condition of a large mass of the population, who, It to be feared, have no means of subsistence,—no resource again st absolute starration,—but inicrime. If Mr. MAIN waxi,,;o's work had no other merit, his boldness in presenting to the lic a striking, though cursory, view of this grievous and grow' ing evil, entitles him to the thanks/ of his fellow-subjects ,--° the prompt attention of the rich., and to the grateful blessing s of the poor. _ _ After some preliminary observations, in which he rerost icg ' that the most superficial observer of the external and visi ble appearances of the Metropolis, must soon be convinced th o, there is a great proportion of unproductive population livi °,s upon it, without occupation or ostensible means of subsisten ce ,' and that it is notorious that hundreds and thousands go fort y from day to day, trusting alone to charity or rapine ; and' which he observes, that it would seem that there must be dis ° ' - der somewhere, some acquired and misunderstood disease, the sources of which have hitherto eluded discovery, and for which no permanent relief can be expected, without exploring , very elements of our national system ; he says (p. 7.), " 1 e "; tertain a sanguine hope, that the very operation of a bete system (of police) will so change the manners and habits of the . people upon whom it is to act, as to drive them to the pursni7. of industry; or if, under existing circumstances, the meat , ' 0 industry be not open to them, that it will chew such a deraii:. ~e t anti disordered state of society, as finally and irresistibly. impel the Legislature to resort to some decisive and eff e ,,,, c ' tual measures, which shall deliver the country from t"" dreadful alternative of knowing that it has a large lion .of its inhabitants, who must either live by plunder, 0 " (lie front starratiZt This is a dreadful alternative indeed, and we much fear fe fear which is greatly increased by the opinion of one having such ample means of information as Mr. Maistwisiti r 4 that the dreadful reality would, upon investigation, be fel° to be of frightful extent. It is certainly of the first necessity that the fact, one way o r the other, should be accurately ascertained, even though the iv.; vestigation should requiie " the very elements of our n ations ; system to be explored ;" and if those elements hare produce“ so " deranged and disordered a state of society" as this, vi c think that all parties will agree that the sooner they are an' ciently explored the better. If, by disturbing the foundation principle of our Poor Laws' there were only a possible danger that the pfutiactigna t;t . a state of sot Lay might be the result, it would require great boldness indeed, if the proceeding did not amount to rashnesS, to venture upon so precarious an experiment. If, un..inve s " ; gation, it shall he found that such a state of society already , a considerable extent, exists, it would be worse than madness t° aggravate so alarming a distemper of the body politic, drawing the sad resource of a workhouse, which now otnxfi hundreds of thousands of our fellow-countrymen the only sh e ter from the dread alternative which Mr. Msz axwaitiso pointed out. In page 82, speaking of the superior efficacy of " - restrai n : from doing wrong," over " admonition to do right," as a mean of preventing crime, Mr. MAlNwArtmo says, s" It is, therFi; fore, to this restraint that w<t must look ; and if I am c orrect the view which I have just taken, its moral influence wil l ti e i unquestionable ; it will force b l ack the criminal ; it will struct his progress in the road which he has chosen ; and dill him to the selection qt . another, which will carry him to a b a r pier and a better end." • n ie- But this observation, so just and- accurate in itself, 1 0 ', i d, diately brings back theinind. to the contemplation of the d, ternative" which Mr. MAINWARING had so vividly presentend You cannot drive a criminal to the , caetectinn" of another ater, better course of life than the pursuit of crime, if his only , e " native be sub,sien,e !n crime," or " atatth by slarratco:. The exercise of unceasing vigilance may, indeed, deter Twi n : hers of wretched sufferers from entering on - a criminal courr'i which shall offer little or no chance of escaPe from det ec . l .: s , and punishment. These may, by a watchful and efficien t .''',, 9 , tern of police, be induced rather to die amid their sullen ro o f than to rush, before the sense of shame has, by a long career_ej vice, been destroyed, upon certain infaniy ; but the hardoo, criminal, driven to despair by the toils with which he is I:osed to be surrounded, will stake his all upon some un cla d of d deed of atrocity, and rather run the desperate haZ'
