M. LAS CASAS. LETTERS FROM LAS CAS AS. 1.- , -TO LORD ODMOUVFI. " MY 1,01113,--1 atn extremely sorry that'l have the lion'ottr.to ‘vrite to your Lordship, and know 'for cert ain that I shall not remain here long ruough to'reccive your answer, which wodid, perhaps, tulfil all my Wishes. "•For these four flays I have been In the hands of your State. Messenger, who, on his arrival here., entriwed to toe toy papers which had been pre vion,ly staled tip, with the declaration that I Pli;;Ht .do with tlrem what I thought proper. Af ter this he saw me constantly writing, and even encouraged are to do so, and waited till the very, moment of departure, to take trout me, as 1 was . on the point of setting sail, all my papers, even the most trifling, in your name. This . is a trap. my Lord, which I cannot find it in my heart to ascribe to any higher person than the man who laid it tor me: This Messenger ouderstood no- 'thing bid English.. Lie hail an assistant with erlii) pretended to nntler,tand French ; and desired to read the papers one alter the other, and loss notwithstanding kept thew all. lie would Lave enough to do to read them all in a week, and 1 did not think that an iudi‘idual hml suc h a tight over me. Every thing has been taken from me, letters, notes, my son's writing-books, deeds of property, domestic secrets, official documents Of Sir linuson Lowe and 1 - _,trtl Charles Soin ►set, my journals, and even a letter to the Frenen Mi- Disler of Police, and another to my wife, which being more at leisure I had already dic ated, that it might be forwarded as .soon as 1 landed at Os, tend. They have been taken Iron; me without making all inventory of then►, or numbering them, and they,declared it was done by your Lordship's -orders. It; the First moment of indignition, Ptotested against such violence, and inquired for a Magistrate, that I ini4lit make my comp!aint to him. I will not here repeat ,the answer which I received. " As there is nothing I so much _dislike as to have my name mentioned in public discussions, and considering that it was impossible you could have prescribed such conduct, w hick is opposed to all toe - legal rules.in -the world, by which pub lic officers must guard themselves against who in such a case might affirm that some papers bail been taken away, or others substituted; con sideriog this, 1 contented myself, when I reco vered my temper, with trying, by all possible means and all possible arguments, to induce the messen ger, who disposed of my fate, to delay my 'voy age till l could write to your Lordship and receive. from you . the confirmation of his rigorous orders. ThiS man, who detained me ee (lays on the most trifling pretext, was n ot to he moved in re spect to .this affair, though it was so important. Notwithstanding ail my representations, that had not the smallest object too to have all my p a p e rs looked over by cootidential persons, ap pointed by your Lordship for the purpose, and that your Lordship must yourself desire that cer tain torm+ilities were ob s e r ved i n res p ec t to the ; that in the examination of my foyers, my presence would be very useful, if not ahsoltitely necessary, to give explanations respecting things that would nut sta r h e u nderstood Avithont me ; that he sent me in person to the Continent, and kept my papers iu London ; that it was to be feared that there was a .m i sun d e rstanding, and that in' 24 hours all would he cleared op, lie answered me coldly, that I need not, be uneasy respecting my.return from the Continent if it should be necessary, since yOu woidd ray all the expencts. " To what bands, my Lord, have you deliver ed+ me? Ow another o'ccasion; toy Lord, which WAS certainly against your instructions, I was ob liged to impose silence upon the man who guarded me, on account of his gross abuse of the-august person whom I honour above every thing in the world. In one word, my Lord, since I have touched your coast, I an, treated as a malefactor.. And in what does my clime consist ? Th.at 1, as - perhaps is believed, have a Wfferent political opi nion, an& went voluntarily into inquisonment at Longwood ! But is not the last the most noble and excellent actin(( that is known, . and so ho nourable, •that every one would rejoice in hiS heart to have given this example ? My Lord, the natural mildness and :ostice which are attliboted to you, cannot possibly have• approved all that has been dune to we. " I have rrceived permissmn, and have has tened to sell the papers taken from me, not to protect myself against your Lordship, but, on the contrary, tor your interest to supply the deficiency in the torn), which might" perhaps have cum- prOmised your agents. " I beg your 'Lordship again to turn your at tention to ,my affairs, and to decide nothing re- . spec - tini; 'my papers' till }Ton have received'. ,from me - the information which you may desire, and w hi c h-you shall have to' your entire S t oisfaetion. assure ypti beforehand, that, however different tire opinions and-leeliitga may be 'tivat.will be found in then), thel'e - is'u6t one retTect.ing which examinations or amicable nrgociations could take plar.e. • • Nwhing* lider:.sting will be., tumid* in thr-in rsia tire .0 affairs of , ate, Nor any' Political secret... have never had . any thing of the kind ; andif it had I)t. ; ..it trite Cass', -.should', lot;g v sitiee hove not wanted an opportunity , to make rise of it. - " perhaps lit byre ilk place, My Lori, to 'mention to yon-e-'Lorlirit) the )topers wirkh were taken trio) pet. ht-, tit. ftefena, as Well as many other thitygi - , res'pe'cting which I shall "hav, to speak with your.,Lords,hip, or 'With Lord Ba thurst.

" STY L oeu,— I uad I 1.1C .. .10n0ur to send you a 'letter from the extremity of Afriea, tvitb a dupli-' cote of it. I hope that you will pacilott the feel rig that dierated it to me. it drew me, though" unknown, to him, who, from love of justice and greatness tit soul, took up the most noble of all causes. • I added ro it the few docntnents that 1: had in my handsthe 'grievances At Loogwiyod, my torrespondencevvith Sir Hudson Vowe, and the sketch of a petition to ParliaMent. Have • • you ever received These"? v The moTe unfortunate I become-, 'the more does lily confidence increase. the treatment have received since I approached. the English Coast, and the impulse it has giveil that which I have experienced on the Continent:, are difficult to describe. I take the liberty to annex my let ter to Lord Sidmouth on this subject. If it should happen that the newspapers, as'they ly do, should misrepresent my • case, and should ally of those voices which continually watch over every kind of abuse and injustice be heard in Par liament, your Lordship will have the advantage' of bring acquaitned with the whole affair. " My Lott', I add to the copy of this letter, that o f another, of which I must be proud (the letter of recommendation from Buonaparte, al ready published) ; I would, also, for the future, have rejoiced over it in silence, if it Werz not ne cessary to annihilate the lying reports of the Journals, which have spread a false 'opinion on the Continent. Some pretend, that I left Long wood because, weary of the brutality of him frcon whom"' patted with grief, I could not live with him any longer ; others,' ‘vithout further parti enlars, say that I deserted him. The annexed let ter, if- it is made public, will spew the truth ; it is a favour which I beg of you, unless your Lordship should see objections whi c h I h a ve no t remarked. My Lord, they make me very un happy—they make me a matlyt ; that is to say, generous hearts air made to .incline to ine, and their participation consoles me for all. " It is attended with the greatest difficulties to write these few hues to, you. May they come to your hands ! If time allows me to present my grievances to your Ministers, you shall receive a copy of them.

We mean to devote tile preseUt article to the notice “f a vvotk Af,7l.ich as yet is only in agitation, but which, if executed carespondently with its professed yiews and intentions, will tortn one of the most important additions to literature that has been made in modern 'times.—;-Ever 'sitite that wicked cc►rtli;'racy against the Christian Religion, ►'l►ici► gave birth to the French Eno/elopedle, ate latter ferny — has become popular• for a DiCtionitry of Arts and Sciences. Like most popular rerins, however. it has not• been strictly confined within the limits of its definition., but 11-.. s been Made to 'crunpreliend ninth miscellaneons Matter, tvithott' 'reference to any distinct system ; and from simi lar causes it has often omitted important aid- des, and. given to those which were inserted very disproportionate degrees of extension and inSs pot ;mice. There are two modes of arrangement for such a work, each possessing its peculiar advantages, the Alphabetical and Philological:. A Dictionary is generally looked upon so much as-a work of re ference, and the business of referring to authori ties .consmouly. admits of. so little• delay and re flection, than .for the same reason that alphabeti cal writing has in most nations prevailed over all attempts‘ at the formation of a philosophical.elov raeter, .a:phalmetic arrangement- has generally pre vailed over the arrangement par ordre des n'tatieres; Nevertheless it is s obviont that the.two modes of arrangement are not wholly irreconcileable ; we might perhaps say, that by their union alone can such a work he rendered .perfectly applieable to purpeses both of instruction 'anti ofsdaily use. This is the - object proposed in the prospectus of the Enryclopcedia Metropolitana. 'flue philosophi cal arrangement must of course prealomioate, the oilier most he merely Hot:diary ; by means of the one we shall -beetiableal to-understand a term sci eutifically,or historically, by means of the other we shall he at cause directed to that part of die Citcle of Sciences, or that point in the Stream of History, whet e its import is developed, and its relations are explained. It is a just observation of Bacon's, that the strength of all sciences consists in their harmony, each sopporting:the other. This.profound remark indeed ‘veakens, as was too much his ens•orm, by a foolish and inapplicable simile. " Were it not better," says be, " for a man in a fair room; to set up one great light,. or branching candlestick. , of lialos, than to go about with a small watch • candle 'into ever y corner ?" To which We might answer in his own formal way, " that is theme after as it nosy be, if you want only to hunt its corners, your watch candle. maysserve you best ; but if you ask whether a great light will illioni oiste a room better than a .small one, , methinks. your question is right simple." Setting 7 aside, therefore, the simile, and reverting to the inipars tart truth, that the sciences matually.itrengthen and support each other, we may observe that in Most Encyclopxdias. this object has, been lost sight of; tio general view loss been taken of the powers anA faculties. of the human usind, from which, as from a vantage ground, we might trace their mutual relations .and dependencies. There ha's been no Prima Philosophia, as a General dis posing and commanding the.,whole order of the !tattle ; but we have seen troops here and there, marching* he knew not whither, or stationary for no intelligible- purpose. The consequences of this neglect of the harmony of the Scienceg, are well pointed out in. the Prospectus before us : " • The inapplicability," says the; writer s of a strictly scientific method to a modern En elopmdia, such as shall. include the whole of its contents, has led to the abandonment of all prin ciple of. rational arrangement ; and it may be safely asserted of all our Universal Dictionaries hitherto, that the chief difference between them, in respect of their plan, consists its the more or less complete disorganization of the Sciences and Systematic Arts; •now retaining .certain integral portions of the system as integers, forming each an entire treatise, but resigning these treatises to the places severally assigned to,them by the acci dettt of their initial letters ; and now splintering all alikeisato their fractional -parts, with an ar rangement merely alphabetical. Nor has the im perfection rested. here. This very. alphabetical position was but . too frepently detertitined by the caprice or convenience of the compiler ; inasmuch as the division of parts into minor parts had no settled limit. , ThilS, one technical or scientific * term included; as its subordinate, and to 'be ex plained in the same article (sometimes more, lometimea.fewer) other terms : and the arrange ment became neither properly scientific, nor pro perly alphabetical: It had the incoriVeniencies of • both, without the advantages of either." " The results are such•as might have been ex pected, in part from time necessity of sncli'planss and in part front the interference of individual whialas..carelessness, and procrastination, to which tVey.affordedahe amplest opportunities, and even ,frequent temptation. Nomerotis articles of iin a portant-information will.be fotind Where the reader* 'could have least expected to find theta ; while ar ticles of _equal interest: (either because they - were forgotten, or becanse the references to them were Made by one writer, and the articles referred io written by smother, of whose plan they tormed no part) are in many cases not to he found at all." A second result is, that an UniveraalDictirm ary so constrncted,-,equallywith an Encyclopatlia the most methodically arranged, requires alpha betical references ; but with a two-fold *inconve :Ocoee, front which, the latter would he free. First,. thee references, instead of, being collected'in one appropriate index,. -or at least iu some. known portiorsof the work„are scattered throughout the Whole ; anti this is no sligists annoyance,• when a scientific term happens to Itaveanatty synonirnies,• as for instance,_A7o.l,./slittogen., oiluAisticated Air, &c. Secondly, the references most even-, tually lead the reader abrough as many . 'volumes, as these other Words happen - to be placed in, which ate -necessary to be previously understood itt order to a tolerable compreheasion of the term first .sought. - Of the froth of tli!s rernsfk, and of the extent to which it is trite; every reader who wishes to acquire a general knowledge of the phy sical or phyair.logiral terms, that are now so often . . ntrOAl;Cel in "conveys and porml?..:' !ht.! .titre; May readdy cOmince himsdf. fi v nee d ~„Iv veA . tliioitgh any one nont!)er of a philosophical zine 't;ferring. to an Eiii;yelo, te ha so• coostriictd . for the poi port of each word which he doe, !" 4 uinlef..;tatol, and prletical p'roois trill oL'itir more titan sufficient trt . riumey„ " A third evil fesulting from the same c:ln'. 6l is the fares* want of all 14oportion in I IR! 5 1" ' CG occupied by' each articie„. relatively either to ttl' importance of the particular subject, or to tli! promised limits of•ltie whole work.
