Further Particulars of NEvEr.----Neveu, a na tive of Rheims, was engaged in trade at Paris.— lie soon renounced commerce for other specula tions. He speculated in the public funds, and at length ruined himself. The derangement of hisfor tune was the cause of several altercations between him and his wife, which he generally terminated by having recourse to the most violent and culpable extremes. He has been for some time separated from her. They had. one child. It appeared that the Police had, been for some time on the watch; having gained_ some information of his private life, and it was only a few days before the attempt . of the 27th of January, that he was taken. He bad purchased several pounds of powder of various merchants, and it was upon information from them that the order for his arrest was given. As lie had no fixed - place of residence, the search after him had been far some time. fruitless, On Thursday an agent of the police thought,he recognised Neveu in a cabriolet that was passing along the street. He caused the cabriolet to be stop-. ped,. and mounting it declared that he . was charged to arrest him. , . Neveu attempted to bribe the police-man, and mentioned a house Where the money would be paid if he went on. — The police , man was 'placed between the coach man and Neveu, and fearing that he -would escape, feigned assent to the propositions.— Ile. desired the coachman to drive in the di rection of the house, and as they . were pass ing- over the boulevards the police-man sac tivo - of his comrades, and beckoned them. to ap proach... NeVeu was seized and conducted to the Prefecture' of the police,. The .manner Of his death has been.already before' the public. It is said, that some poison and from 12 to 1500 gold franks were taken from' him. His body:was sent to Morgue. Those who knew him say, that he frequently spoke of politics, and .thathe had the most-exaggerated opinion- upon the subject. , . .

H. BERNARDIN DE ST. PIERRE ; with the We of the Author, by L. AIME ICIARTISI. This monument, raised by a man of taleeto the memory of, one of the greatest writers of the last century, is worthy the fame and genius of the Author of the " Studies of Nature." The life of St. Pierre, by M. Aime Martin, is, on account of its valuable details and style, one of the most remarkable pro ductions of the present day. It unites with all the interest of a romance, the merit of unquestionable veracity ; and so nu merous and varied are the extraordinary adventures of which itis composed, that in this work Nature seems to have been de-. .sirous of surpassing the imagination by the force and novelty of the conceptions, by the philosophical spirit which controls the events, and by the, splendour of the principal characler Which sheds over all to representations an air of inchantment and poetry. It is the history of . illusions which pass in rapid succession.over a brilliant imagination, vanishing one after the , other before the sad realities of the world ; it is, in. a word, the history of man, and this man is Bernardin de Saint Pierre. 'The first of these illusions is the rove of liberty. Indignant at the depravity of civilized life, in the midst of Whichall the great destinies of the human race, all the noble faculties be stowed on it by the Creator, -seem to ',have degenerated and •to be perverted, the young philosopher conceived the project of a republic which should recal - men to the -innocence and virtues of the primitive times. He sought for the bases of social hap pinesi,in the most amiable propensities of Nature, andformed like Plato, a Code of Laws for an imaginary People : he became more and more attached 'to his system in proportion as he feund,'in his progress through life; fresh occasions for deplor ing the empire of vice in modern societies ;' and he spent more than ten years in bringing his LTtopia to perfection, amid the vicissitudeS.of a destiny which led him successively to America, Malta, and the field of battle at Warburg. Eaving reached that period of life,*at which the character is developed and the mind attains that energy which renders it desire - ins of reducing its ideas into practice, he-resolved at the age of 25 years to rea lize his sysient of Society, and proceeded to Russia with the. intention .of founding hiA - Republic on the Banks of Lake Aral. Destitute•of the.riches of this world, but strong in ,hope, he left Paris with 500. crowns- and arrived at Petersburg with only 6 francs. Having overcome all the clifficulties-arising from his desolate condition and poverty, he gained admission into the fast circles. by means of his wit, elegant manners, and military talents which at that time obtained ready employment in the service of Russia for all foreigners who were desirous of associating them selves with. the rising fortune of this Northern Empire. But he was no sooner introduced. on this theatre than he found him, self, against his own wishes, connected with the intrigues which were then in active progress. This took place during the scan dalous -favouritism of Count Orloff.--_M. de Villebois, who patronised our adventurer, formed the design of supplanting, by his assistance, a proud rival, wilegie influence over the Sove reign threatened to shake his' credit with the Court. At his presentation to the Empress, the gracious. look with which she regarded him, procured for him the instant' caresses of the Courtiers ; but Si. Pierre saw through the designs of his pa tron, • and refused to lend himself to an act so unworthy o€ his character, and quite foreign frOm the secret object of his jour ney ; he only waited a favourable opportunity of piesentir.g, to the Ministers oc . Favourites of the day his plip of colonization. Ile at lengtlr found this opportunity, in the eagerness of the Favourite to gain over to his interest a young man whom his enemies Wished to Set up as his rival. Count Orloff: invited him to breakfast, was, profuse in his attentions to him, and of fered him ns.oney, which St. Pierre nobly-declined to receive.-- The unfortn;ate Legislator, however, had at last the mortifi cation of seeing. his dear Utopia rejected, as contrary to the laws ofthre Ernvire and the interest of the Nobles. Thus vanished, before the contemptuous smile of a Russian Minister, this first illusion of a man of worth, to realize which he had abandoned his country and_ traversed all Europe, with out letters of recommendation Or money. M. de St. Pierre was not slow - in perceiving that he pisticipated in the disgrace of his patron, M. de Villebois ; and as he had no longer any object to accomplish by rennuning in Russia, his imagination imbibed some new ideas, wilith engaged him in a. , fresh series of adventures. ' Poland was then mahing'its last jtriiggle: for indepenacrw. &spark of patriotism; lighted up by the heroism of the young and gallant Radzivil, interested every generous mind, and Prance seemed disposed to faiour this attempt of a brave Na tion to recover its liberty. St. pierre partook of this feeling, and burned with the desire of joining this noble cause. He saw the road open to the acquisition of military fame, and sud denly turned ail his hopes towards a people who promised to do honour to modern times. by the virtues of antiquity. Butthis illusion was still less durable than the first. Imme diately on his arrival at Warsaw, our hero discovered he .had embarked in a bold and perilous enterprize, for he had to pass t hrough the Russian lines in order to join Prince Radzivil.— Betrayed in. a Castle, in.which. he had taken shelter for the night, he fell-into the hands of the enemy, was thrown into a prison, and only obtained life.- and liberty on condition that he should not bear arms against Russia. On his return to the capital of Poland, where he remained in active while the fate of the Nation was deciding, :11:de St. Pierre was soon the victim of anew illusion, which • developed those Passions the strength of which he had not yet experienced. A Woman, distinguished lier pc.b4a4t3 a , s ;t m he tieh rr b i y nc t e h ss e inspired byi .4heyOung,7enthusia withthe`m6St aiden t love, in which she participated in an equa l degree: He acccim . i,,lnied her into a delightful rural retreat, and there abandoned himself wholly to those tender impressiOns of which his refined mind was so sus ceptible. Like the heroes of Tasso, in the delicious gardens of A.rmida, he drank deep of the clip of enchantment. During this foXgetfulness,of the future, from which time, if not prud ence , sooner or later awakens Lovers and Poets, this close connection became the subject of public conversation. The family of the Princess interposed their authority to sepa rate the two lovers, and the honour of his Miatiess demanded ~theiMmediate "departure-of St. Pierre coin Poland. Ila quitted that. country and - sought an alleviation of his sorrows in Austria. A regular and freqUent! correspondence was .carried between' the two lovers, which, instead of diminishing, tended rather to aggravate the grief of the unfsrtunate exile.— Ile had the folly to interpret too literally some warm expres- Sims, in which his MistresS seemed to prefer the dangers con sequent on his leturn to the misery of his absence. St. Pierre travelled post, and reached Warsaw quite unexpected he fOund his Mistress at an assembly, was received by her 'as if he was a perfect stranger, and' lost an illusion which, like a brilliant meteor, had shed a transient light.on ,his life,, only to leave it afterwards in a state' of obscurity far more profound and wretched. Awakened from his' dream, but inconsolable, the deserted lover wandered among the Northern Courts, dragging from town to town hi.s• melancholy and despair. He visited SaxonY; and in vain finped to find under the GreatTrederick - the 01,Por ttinity of 'terminating on the field of battik an existence which Was now become insiipiioitahle. Foiled in all his enter Prizes, the desire of again behOlding\his- native soil took p ' olession of his heaNapd the resollectivs \f . ': hi:4 infancy Pyesented thet4 l o , selves to his imagination in all thei;Jcharin:s. - ; ll N. aa.; - anxibus to re-visit his paternal roof, and flattered himself that he should enjoy-in the bosom of his family those pleasures which he had failed to find in any other part of the world. Alas ! the de lights which he anticipated were again. only illusions. On his arrival at. Havre,, his native town, - " he could not recollect a " single object; the town seemed to him smaller, the Streets " narrower, and the houSes higher. He bent hiS st2i)s " his fii,ther's ancient residence, hoping to call to memory the ".features of some of the neighbours." But he had no long. r either relations or.friends : hiS father and mother were dead, his brothers gone to India, and his sister had taken the veil. No person recollected him, no loved voice repeatedhis name : atlength he ruched the door, where he - saw . an Old woman ecivered'with rags at work on a bench. She it was who had taken care of him during infancy. She alone seemed to have survived; as if to unite in her person all the ideas of his family, domesticlrecol lections and sweet images with which M. de At. Pierre came to delight his heart—the embrace of an old wornan . ,poor and. in firm, was all that he met with in hisnative town. The. adventures which had agitated the best half of the life of our Fiero prevented him from thinking much during that pe riod on his 'Utopian plans. Restored to a more tramp...di state, he again indulged in the contemplation of his philautirtophic ideas, and another opportunity sport offered, apparently fa vourable; for carrying them into execution. . • A vessel was on the point of sailing, professedly bound to the Isle of Fiance, but the Comm..a.nder, it was said, iod received se cret instructions to land at Madagascar, and civilize that Colony. de St. Pierre sold all tliat he possessed to join . this expedi don: When They got out to sea the Captain told him. the true object of his, voyage : he was going to Madagascar, not . to give laws to the islanders but to take away a cargo of Slaves. This , pretended Lycurgus, was a slave...nierhant ! Thus vanislicdonee more ..,i - 411,those chimeras of public feli city, glory, and powerwhich the brilliant im ag i nat i on of Bor. nardin de St. Pierre had so long cherished. Of wll these illu sions, the only thing.which remained was the Commission of an Officer of Engineers, a rank which had been cenferre.d. on him before his departure. St. Pierre arrived at tie Isle of France, in a vessel disrnasted by lightaink, and the crew half dead with the scurvy, and resided several months in that Colony-. Devoting all the powerful faculties of his mind to the contem plation of Nature, he discovered, in this great book, the benefi cent works of the Creator. Gon was continually:prcsent to. his imagination in the wonderful operations •of Providence, and this sublime idea,, presiding over his studies, rendered his.'de scripions true.and copious, and gave life a nd spirit to his. de lineations. - ' The return cfSt. Pierre to his country, the labours of his mature age, his literary succ esses , hi s noble conduct during the ReVolution, and his respectable old age, form the second part of his history. During this pe r iod his- Biography is enriched by curious-anecdotes of ce l e b ra t e d characters, who lived i o the times finmediately before us ; the flowers , of his i rn a g i na _ tion, so rich and prodigal, converted into fruit ; an d a ll t h e deis; in .appearar-ce so ,vain and. extravapint, of the young Philosopher, the delusions of his youth, and even his passions, seem to End in his writings the application which his life cannot furnish. Thus the tartness of wine gains by age a generous and vivifying warmth ; and in like manner does winter give an exouisite taste, to the poignant sharpness of our fruits. Such are the principal events- of the. Hi s t ory w hi r l ' M. Aisne Martin hai just p:,:iblished under the modest title of Essays..
