The title of this Worlt will spew that it is worthy • 't.ti be selected for onellEimw, as the successor . to YON 13thlt's NorWegiap Travels. As the. latter , conveyed-the most ,appropos intelligence relating to a Country to which' we at present attach the deepest regard, so does the Volume before• us con, lain, information of equal importance, concerning it portion of the Globe in which the, politial hue ' rests of Great Britainare more intimately And extensively implicated.: The -one,. indeed, seizes our feelings ; but the other entwines itself with Our Cogitations on the highest point of na tional safety, honour, and happiness. Every }articular belonging to it is therefore,' well en.; titled to our earnest attention. Having; given thia subject much of our.consi, . „devotion,- having toiled through numerous cations which treat of it on both sides of the .• -question, and having with caution, and we trust With candour, made up our minds upon it, we shall perhaps,- in what we may have to offer, fre-: . : fluently lay down matters as incontrovertible, which, it 'is poSsible, our adversarieS would dis , pute ; but we shall never advance one argument without a perfect . Conviction; that were we called en to 'defend it - at length, we 'are perfectly com petent to maintain: its truth against all. imp4gn ;..- 'pent, though our limits forbid our' establishing' it by extended controversy. We therefore,et out with the proposition, that the avowed design of the. American Government - is not only to expel the British from , Canada and all her Northern Colonies, but also to obtain pos session- Floridas, .Lonsiana, &c. and .sub . due or eXtir' pa'te the Indian Tribes, tilt its domi nions are extended and its authority is lacknow . lodged on the shores of the Pacific,. in 'the same • manner as ow the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.— Atlantic „ To 'explore this embryo Empire, were these Tra yellers sent up the great River Missotiri ; and. we shall see, before concluding these'ObServations,_ that not only .their outfit, but their every action, was directed to -this sole object. • By the preface, it appeari that the American. Government, in 1803, " turned its attention, on . several successive .occasions, to obtain an accurate nowledge of the New Territory (Louisiana), with . a view* to ulliinate objects of coloniza4on and coln zerce," we should:rather read, ".of-aggrandizement and conquest."

Paris, Saturaa i, 361 h.. tt bat been jitStly observed, that IIttoNAPARTR' has adorned without improving Paris.. His works are almost all magnificent, but useless; grand,.but injurious to public coMfort ; and as (in sinte - of the assurances of his friends in London) they are every where unfinished, and surrounded with rub= biSh, it will be a long time before they can either be so completed or appropriated as tc) cease; to be nuisances and eye- sores,to the Community. 'My first visit this morning, however, was to a Monument not liable to any of these objections— the celebrates bronze Pillar in the Place krendome, constructed upon 'the model of Trojan's Cdlumn at Rome. !'his Memorial of.the Coiiican's Victo ries is erected upon the scite, where, previous to the Revubition, stood . the Equestrian Statue, in bronze, of Loins ;IV. which the infuriated mob . broke in pieces, leaving scarcety, Clll4, of the feet whole, which is preserved in the Galkry of - metis,Trancois. Iu the pace of this erection to Vain Glory; BUONAPA RTE raised another in the Pillar now standing, which is 133 French feet in height, and 12 in diameter. It is turned of the cannon taken at the, battle of Austerlitz, einielied wits a. Aeries of basso-relievos, which ascend in a spiral form frimn the bottom to the top, and'represent various achievements of Buo.N.krARTE, his Gene-. ruls,‘and Army, and a multitude of warlike de- vices, implements, and operations.' [These coin-prize, between lineS of about 3 feet, a ChronolO gical History of the Campaign of 1805, from the march of the French . ArMy from 'Boulogne to the issue of the above-Mentioned battle. The. 4 whole was surmounted. by a small - dome, On which was placed a colossal Statue of,INTAroLEtsi, in Roman Imperial Robes, crowned with a wreath of victory, and holding a globe in his hand ; but the new revolution of affairs has , doputed Itim"to the fate of his predecessor, Loots XIV.: he was. ignomitiiousli lowered from his towering station,: and, if report-speaks true; nailed tip in a box, and sent prisoner into Russia. The douse is surround-. ed by a narrow 'gallery, from which there is a de lightful view of Paris. The ascent is by 150 steps, and, from the narrowness, Which renders it almost impossible to pass any person, you may meet descending, and the utter darkness which prevails, is very disagreeable, and even On the Pedestal, which serves for•.the busis of this stupendous structure, is the' following in-' 3,:zipt.ou icArot.io Imp.

From the Place Vendome, I sojourned to L:c Louvre, where there were too manyattractioris cox permit my departure till the hour ofelOsinktioori, when I unwillingly adjourned to dress for : dinner,. and in the evening went to the Theiltre de l'Aca demie Imperiale de - Musique, alias' the Opera of, Paris.. The performances were, Iphil;eitie ; and the Ballet of l'Enfaut Prodigue:,,Aml thc4utli-' ence crowded and brilliant, as it included many Foreign Ministers and Generals of the highest, rank. The Iphigenie era Tuuride is a stock-piece :- the chief cliaraciers were filled by Mademoiselle POLAND, ; GL GION D ar i eSICS ; and Nonni, in Pylades. 1 - had, for' the fir.t s time in my life, an opportunity Of appreciating the value of the French Opera, which, though in the language of the country (a prae4ce.worthy of example), is in every other respect parallel to our Italian Theatre in the Haymarket.

Though not astonishing for body of voice or exe 'ention, this song was delightful, from the pathos t • and trite feeling with which it . was sung.
