THE SUN REVIEW. (No. XIII.) TILE HISTORY Or FICTION; teing a Critical Account of the most celebrated Pose !Voris of Fiction, from the earliest of the Greek Romances to the Novels of the present age. By JOHN Dust.9r. fa three Volumes 12nto.—LONGMAN, HURST, REES, ORME, amiBROWN. The present is an interesting and valuable 'ork. It is characterised by great research, judgment, and taste. Indeed, there are very few literary productions that malifest so much labour in the acqusition of the requisite knowledge, and :•:o much critical acumen in digesting the mate- Tials of which it is composed. The Work is not very susceptible of excerpts, though it abounds in anecdotes; as they are SO comiected with the mat ter in which they are introduced as to require much preparatory reading. It may be fairly said, that the Author has fulfilled his taslj, and has com posed a Work that will keep its station. He has given - clear and faithful abridgment of all the Works of Fiction which hare ever en grossed. the notice of the world in the se:Tral periods and various Countries in which they were produced.lf the igndrance, cr e d u l i ty; an d f o ll y of mankind in all ages were not so well-known, it'woald be a matter of surprize, that most of these romances could ever have - Occited so much admiration and renown* But the Reader will, in these volumes, obtain complete information re specting the nature, character; and scope, of all of them that have risen into distinction, and Will escape the labour, fatigue, and indeed disgust, which must necessarily have attended a perusal of the works themselves. The volumes - are divided into. chapters, each containing an account of the seve rarspeCies of works of fiction ; and to render the whole complete, the author has included Politi cal Romances, as well 'as the Heroic, Pastoral, Scriptural, &c. &c. &c. The last 'volume is the most amusing and interesting, because it relates to works that have been produced near to our own times ; and though they are, of course, more generally known, yet many-circumstances attend ing their origin, and the 'matters to which they allude, are deVeloped in such kmantrer as to ex cite a strong interest. Though the work itself, as we have said, hardly admits of extracts, yet we shall submit a few passages to our Readers; in which the Author enters- into a brief defence of Novel-writing, and by which they Avill be able to form sonic judgment of his taste and ca pacity for-the undertaking But even if the utility which-is derived from Fiction were less than • it is, how much are we indebted to it for pleasure and enjoyment ! It sweetens solitude and charms sorrow—it oecupies the attention of the vacant, and unbends the mind 'of the philosopher. .Like the enchanter, Fiction Shows Its, as it were, in a mirror, the most agree able:objeCts ; :recalls from - a distance the forms which are dear to 'Us, and soothes our own griefs. by awakening our sympathy-for others. By its tneans . the recluse is placed in the midst of so ciety; and he'who is harassed and agitated . in the city, is transported ,to rural tranquillity and repose. The rude are refined bsy an introduction, as ic were,, to the higher orders of mankind, and even the dissipated and Selfish are, in some degree, 'corrected by those paintings of virtue and simple nature, - which must ever be employed by.the No velist, if he wish to awaken emotion or delight." At the beginning of the Third Chapter the Au thor again enters into a vindication of this species of-Composition, and traces the probable Causes of their origin and . progress : " Fabulous narrative, we have seen in ifor mer part of this work, like almost every one of the arts of loan, originated in the desire of per fecting and improving nature, of rendering the great more vo,t, the rich inure splendid; and the, guy more beautiful. It removed, as it were, from the hands of fortune the destinies of mankind, re- . warded virtue and valour with success, and co vered yeachery and b as e ness with opprobrium'. 4, I t was soon perceived that men '-4ymPathize not with armies or nations, but with individuals;. and the Poet who sung the fall of empires, was forced to place a few in a prominent light, with whose success or misfortunes his hearers might be" affectec while they were a lt oget h er i ndifferent to the iont s or dissection of the crowds by which they were followed. It was thought, at last, that narratives might hi composed where the.interest should only be demanded for one or two indivi duals, whose adventures, ha7mpiness, ar misery, might of themselves afford delight. The ex4eri . meta Was attended Ivith success ; and as men sympathize most readily with events. which. may 'occur to themselves, or the 'situations they have been, or may be, the incidents, of fic tion deri'v'ed their character from the manners of the age. Im a gay and luxurious country, stories Of hive het.4me acceptable. 'Hence the Grecian novels were composed, -and as, in relating the ad ventures of the loVets, it was natural to depict what might really have taken place, the general features of the times, the inroads of pirates ; , reli gious ceremonies, cue.. were chiefly' delineated. The habits of the honks, in like Manner, 'gave rise to spiritual romance, and time notion of tran quillity in the fields of Greece may have suggested the beau - iful rural images liourtrayed in the pas toral of LONGLYS Upon - the whole this is a„-Wock of great genet, and is written with ; 1 e.egance, acumen, and judgment. AVe may, perhaps, return to the sub ject on a future day. We must wait the - motnct►t when the protection of France, our natural friend, and to whoa► ancient treaties.united us under lief 'Kings, will restore to us our territory, our commerce, and our iude pendence.

At Schweitz the inhabitants, in a General Meeting, refused their assent : they would not vote either for or against it. It is. affirmed chat Berne,' Soleure, and Fri bourg, have :dui resolved not to accept it ; the two latter have sent Deputies to Berne, _to con sidt with the principal Members of Some Cantons, - desirous to 'appropriate a part of the territory of St. Gall, this, as well as the pretensions of the Abbot of St. Gall and. his Chap: ter, have drawn the attention, of the Minis'ters of the Allied Powers, who have addressed a Note to the Little Council of St. Gall, disapproving the disibemberment of any part of the Canton of St .

A lopg discussion took place in the Chamber of Deputies on the !Sill, relatiVe to the arrange , ment presented on the part of the King, for regu lating the communications of the two Chambers with his Majesty, and between themselves. The . of the Interior, the Ahht'. , De Montes (pion', was present, and took a part in the debate, defending the proposed regulations against the objectionsrnade by sonic of the Members. A part of one Of the articles was. strenuously opposed; which went to give ;1 power to the King of send ing propositions of laws to the Chamber by the Ministers, or Commissioners soecially . natned.- - An amendment was moved - by M. Dutnolard, that theConunissioners should only come aecompuied by Ministers, in order that the latter might not escape responsibility, which was adopted. Sonic other alterations were made. The result was an Address to the King, praying his Majesty to agree to the amendments proposed by the ChaMber.

GENOA, JULY 9.—The situation of our country is truly afflicting. Reports are in . circulation every day, more or less ominous, as to our future state. It is now said that Piedmont is to have the por tion of Liguria called Riviere du Ponent, includ ing the Port of Savona—that thy Riviere du Le vant will be united to the Grand Duchy of Tus cany—and that the-City .of Genoa will he declar ed free without territory. If such a dismember ment takes place, our City will be soon deserted. We bare nrade extracts front French Papers, - which are, however, of little interest, • An.t.ven ing Paper of yesterday stated, that a report was in circulation-.of three battalions of the Freoelr army, at a provincial station, having combined to raise the standard of BUOIPARTE, and march to Paris, and aklded, unfortunately for the accuracy of : this report, that " by the decisive conduct and prompt exertions of MarshalOunixoT, who emit- - mantled in the station, they ,were disarmed; and , reduced to submission." A Morning Paper, however, adds-- 1 .6 This intelligence has been in our possession for some time, but we did not think it important enough to require any mention. The fact is, that such an occurrence took place at Nemours'about a fortnight ago... The whole party, Officers and men, in a sudden "fit of extravagance, arced to the above absurd resolution. The Officers, however, quick ly perceived their folly, ,and attempted to restrain the men, many Of whom mutinied against them, and pro , ceeded even to ,the shedding Of blood. Marshal OUDINOT, who was at that moment at Paris, no sooner received informa_ tiort of it, than he went down, and hanged or shot three of the'ring-leaders. The Kills was inclined to hare pardoned them; but the Marshal, perhaps, judged more properly in advising their instant execution. Thus did these three poor f e ll ow s lose their lives, because an infinitely greater villain than either of them is suffered to retain his life. May they be the last sacrifices in so mad and disgraceful a cause !" By the French Papers, of the 19th, we observe, that Marshal OUDINOT ha . d no authority at Ne mours, which is some 0 miles south of Paris ; but, oft the contrary, is the Commander of the 16th - .Military Division, which is the nortiacri' d ' most in France, and that the said Niarshal, of being at Nei'mms', was about 200 i n:les fr° lll ,, at Lisle, on the 14th 1 .!
