I,ADN7 MORGAN. We mentioned, in our Paper of yeitcrday, tin reasons which made Lady MORGAN So dear The Morning Chronicle. That judicionS Paper has :also ventured to decide on the cause Which nrc oked the criticism Of 'the ,(urrlerty Reri . rio 'i'hat;Journal will not, we suspect, enter into any explanation with , its, COnductoii ; and we shall, therefore, say a few words on the Subject in our Own name.. The Morning Chronicle asSerti, ;lint Lady MORGAN, Who, by-the-bye, is likely to wake as much noise'in the world as livr narrie,ake; f!,The, Corsican Fairy„" is attacked with such violence, because " she is not v-ry feivontable the pretensions of legitimacy." But, as tar as we can see, The Quarterly Review never hints that al ,* of her children were born out of we,ll,tck, nor flakes the slightest allusion to this 1 4x i i y of p, ciple, which her friend in The Morning Chronicle (ht, IriA'one he must be) has there fixed upon her. So much for the motives of the Critic's severity Nov for the iojttstice of it :-- I. Lady Morgan calk Li Fayette's family triarchal, 'which the Reviewers eouqtriied into making MI children and grand-cliildret, patri archs."—M. C. of w e f oun d,„" says Lady Morgan, " La Payette surrounded hy his patriarchal family: (i.e. as 'the explains it), his sou and.d.augt4terand 'levet) grand-children." The, Reviewers di, hot' r+-peat what Lady Morgan says Had tl.i; poor puzzle 'beaded woman, in speaking. of ht r ciyit to f,,a Yayette, told its that she foond the pi floret) Surrounded by bis clii!dren and grand-children, slie would t have . escaped "t censot e of . The Quarterly Review, and the blundering justification of The Morning Chronicle. 2. " pritsioc. , ,euiture is at obvious elision fur I:to . ilglits of primotzvnittive."—M. C.

It is,- oil the contrary, as " true as truth:" The stupid blunder had already been the jest'of all Park, and is nieu-' tin ne d iu that critopie on het :work of which spirited translation, appeared a few days since in The New Times. , 3. '' Th e Het ieTers deny bouquets d-'eubres to be v ,ood,Fr,och. It is in daily use."--Avr. C. Nuw for Laity Morgan. " The colleges in Normandy ate 'kitty buried in bouquets d'arbres, or kiwis of tires." In this short sentence is evinced an iotorance both of - the Wretch and Eng lish langnAges. The phrase, as the miter in the alorning Chronicle call ; ; i.t, may be" in daily use With tOose, o, like hint', understand neither; but •thiS makes little in its favour. " Let it be thangeil" • .4.

Mr. STANLEY, therefore, in our opinioo, was not so much at home in Ranger as be was in Rover. 1-le is peculiarly adapted to the dashing parts; though, as he is young, we doubt not that lie will improve by practice, and spew discrimination as well as .gaiety.

It was related at the time, and confidently believed, that some English Naval' Officers had Come , in disguise to Bourdeanz, to re connoitre this vessel without being discovered, and that they left behind them a letter directed to the master-shipwright under whose directiln it was built, saying that the frigate was a very fine one,- anti desiring him to get it ready for sea as soon as possible; because the English were in want of it. It was in fact taken three years afterwards at- the mouth of the river.'

Value.
