W. E. G. THE LONDON PRESS. (FROM THE MORNING HERALD.) At a time when civil justice in Ireland is about to sur render her scales and sword into the hands of military power, it may seem like a mockery to talk of a projected reform of the Irish Jury system ; nevertheless, as the question has been brought under the notice of Parliament by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, concurrently with the Bill for establishing military tribunals, it may be worth while to say a few words on the subject. If the scarlet coat of armed authority is ever again to be dis placed by the judicial ermine, it will be of great import ance to the future peace and welfare of Ireland, that the machinery of the Constitutional Courts should be so far improved as to inspire the people with greater confidence than they ever yet have had in the pure and impartial administration of justice. It is difficult to treat of any question touching the re form of civil institutions in Ireland without entangling it with political considerations. In that country, for cen turies past, the administration of justice has been made but too subservient to party feelings and political pur poses, to allow even the Jury system to be discussed on its own merits, free from the disturbing influence of party excitement, or the taint of political prejudice. Yet, next to giving the people of Ireland regular employment, or a well-contrived system of poor laws, is the necessity of so remodelling the institutions of justice that the abuses which have prevailed ever since the English laws were introduced into that country, may not continue to be among those grievances whiCh make a " repeal " of the Union popular. In the recent charge of Baron Smith to the Grand Juicy at the Assizes of Louth he highly eulogised the sound judgment and discretion with which the Sheriff for the time being always exercises his power in constituting the panel from which the Petty Juries for the trial of cri minal cases are selected. He praised the system itself in all its parts. It is a system, however, which, although standing high in the estimation of Irish Judges, and lauded by Law Officers of the Crown as one of the best of all possible contrivances, is certainly not the Jury sys tem of the British Constitution. We would separate this subject from politics altogether —and, looking at the construction of Juries as merely part and parcel of the judicial system, we ask on what principles of fair dealing or impartiality is it that the Crown exercises the power in Ireland of setting aside Jurors almost without limitation as to number, while in capital felony, where the life of the prisoner is at stake, he can peremptorily challenge no more than twenty ? Such a practice, which is in contravention of all notions of equal justice, as well as a violation of the principles of British law, is of itself sufficient proof of the imper fection of the Jury system in Ireland. It would not be difficult, we think, in any case of treason or felony, where the Crown was anxious for a conviction, to wield this power of making all Jurymen " stand by" who might not be thought subservient enough, in such a way as to secure, from a panel of two or three hundred names, twelve men more ready to do the sanguinary work of a bad Government than to observe the sanctity of their oaths, or respect the lives or liberties of their fellow citizens. Let us only imagine such a monstrous power claimed by the Crown in England, as that which in one instance stated by Mr. O'Connell, set aside 132 Jurors without showing cause, and would it not be received as an attempt to reduce the people of England to the lowest state of civil bondage and debasement ? If the Union is to be realised such degrading distinctions must cease to exist. (FROM THE STANDARD.) It will, we apprehend, be said, " Let us have Conser vttive Unions, if you please, but no religious distinc tions—they are illiberal, fanatical, and foolish." We shall not stop to question the value of this advice in a moral view. Not that we could have much difficulty in dealing with the opinion, that those intellectual sympa thies which ought to be the highest in our veneration, and most powerful in their influence upon human con duct, are unfit bonds of moral union, but because the lower and more practical consideration is quite sufficient for our purpose. We suppose ourselves advised to a Conservative Asso ciation—Conservative of what ? The phrase is not a substantive phrase—by itself it is plain nonsense. Con servative, then, of what are our associations ? Of the throne, and of the House of Lords, and the appoint ments of the bishops ? Why stop there—why not ex tend our Conservative protection to Lord Grey's place, and Lord Brougham's wig, and the reforming Bishop of London's nicely plaited stock, Mr. Rothschild's money and Sir Francis Burdett's acres? Alas, for the everlast ing delusion that will stupidly substitute means for ends, in considering the proper purposes of the conduct of ra tional beings. What does the man who writes these words—what do ninety-nine hundredths of the tens of thousands who will read them care about a throne, at a throne—a House of Lords, as a House of Lords--- a Chancellor, bishop, capitalist, or squire, if the care of their special interests is to be the end of their existence ? We do not care one farthing about them, except as means to other ends. We, the majority, endure the ex istence of unequal rank, and of a very unequal distri bution of property, not from any instinctive humility of man's nature, or abstract love of poverty, but because we believe such anomalies to be on the whole beneficial to that society of which eacla of us is an integral. So, we support thrones and lionsesof Lords and Commons, not from the pleasure of pampering kings and senators —but because we believe, that in connection with a na tional code of just laws, and a national church, diffusing the principles of pure religion, they constitute the frame work of the happiest state of society in this world, and of the best preparatory state for the world beyond this. Let Kings and legislators, however, cut the laws from their moorings, and the only remaining restraint, which can prevent their drifting after them, will be the reli gious feeling of the people. If they bring up to that anchor they will be safe; if they let go that last hold nothing can save them. The religious feeling of the country is very strong; and every day furnishes the means of augmenting it, if it be not repelled by insulting indifference. Every day teaches the rich and great that the religious feeling of the people is a defence for life and property, and public insti tutions worth twenty armies ; and no less frequent is the instruction to the poor, that religion is the only protec tion upon which they can at once innocently aud safely rely, to defend them against the insupportable tyranny of wealth, which it is the unavoidable tendency, and, in deed the declared purpose of worldly society to produce. Religion abolished the negro slave trade, and is now struggling, whether prudently or imprudently, to extin guish the last traces of slavery in the empire—religion is now wrestling with the far more detestable slavery of the British factories—religion is, indeed, the only faith ful mediator between wealth and poverty, power and weakness—religion is essentially Conservative of all that is good ; let none, therefore, who are conscious of a good purpose in their Conservative determination, scru ple to draw up under the banner of religion. True, by adopting that banner as our ensign, we shall lose some who are considered Conservatives, and proba. bly consider themselves as such; but here is the question —whether is it better to lose a few adherents, and pre serve the only available principle of union, or, for the sake of two or three additional allies, who, after all, can be but mock auxiliaries, to sacrifice that only principle? We suppose that there can be no difficulty in deciding this question. Let any who hesitates, if any can hesi tate, go to inform his mind to the theatre, or to the mar ket—lie will in the one place and the Other, see just the kind of union which some would have formed under the name of " Conservative Associations." He will see a number of persons gather - by a common design, either of pleasure or of gain—but he will See them, as weariness or caprice, they having made the last penny to be expected, or the apprehension of a shower admonish, melting as rapidly as the spring snow, because, though having a present common design, they have no common prinezple of permanent influence. Just as valuable for political uses as the playhouse audience, or the market crowd, will be found a " Conservative Association" not founded upon religious principles. THE 'LIY EttrogL sTA.ND4h.o. FROM THE JOHN BULL. Lord Grey is in a happy state. Last Wednesday week, as we stated, he told the King that he could not go on, and, by the way, he told his Majesty something else, which some day his lordship may hear of again ; and the King, whose graciousness and patience are most marvel lous, bid him keep up his spirits. But no, the earl could not stand it, and so what did he do, but write a letter to the Duke of Portland to beg him to come and take the helm; that every thing was at sixes and sevens, and that he thought his Grace could secure him some of the waver ers and bolster him up. The duke, however, was not quite so foolish as to listen to such a proposition as that, and declined the offer. This we know,—because we do not pretend to say who sent it about—a copious extract from Lord Grey's epistle has been handed about at half the clubs in town. What a satire upon government—what a blot in poor Lord Grey's ministerial character, to think that when he found the good ship nearly wrecked, he should endeavour to save his own life by running her bump upon the race of Portland. It sometimes, but rarely, happens that weak men are diffi dent, and to this striking singularity in the present case we are indebted for an escape. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. It is gratifying to find the press so universally exerting its powerful influence in behalf of the general practition ers of medicine and surgery, and endeavouring to place this most useful and hitherto degraded class of men in their proper situation in public estimation. The pure physicians, and pure surgeons, may do what they can to keep the present race of. general practitioners in the hum ble situation of the bye-gone apothecary, but they may defy the best efforts of their pure brethren, whilst they continue in that path of science which they now advance in, and which was unknown to the race of men whom they have superseded. We wish the term apothecary was exploded, or retained only by the chemist and druggist, to whom it more properly belongs, if the derivation of a term adds any thing to its meaning. The word " apo thecary," we are induced to suppose, signifies only a compounder, or putter together of medicines,—now every one who reflects for an instant, must be convinced that this forms but a very small and subordinate part of the important duties of him to whom is confided the entire responsibility attendant on the treatment of every dis ease which can afflict human nature. This term, how ever, is employed by those gentlemen who confine the operation of their " enlarged Intellect" to the treatment of a particular class of diseases, or one branch of the pro fession, to distinguish their brethren who have the know ledge, and the courage to combat disease in all its shapes and varieties; because custom, or convenielve, induces them to write their prescriptions at home, and send me dicines to their patients from their own dispensaries. We sincerely hope, with the inappropriate term apothecary, the degrading manner in which the general practitioner has been hitherto compelled to seek compensation for his arduous and important services, will soon be discon tinued, and instead of being compelled to pay himself by obliging his patients to swallow wholesale quantities of nauseous medicine, he will be legally authorized to ob tain remuneration, on the fair and honorable principle of time and talent employed, labour and anxiety expended in the practice of a liberal profession. With all our ad miration for the splendid talents and great attainments of some individuals among the pure physicians and pure surgeons of this country, we are induced to view the ge neral body of these men who assume such vast superiority over their brethren, as only the pilots of the profession, who, possessing a little local and peculiar knowledge, may occasionally be consulted with some advantage by those whose minds are capable of taking a more extended range, and, consequently, may not always possess the same degree of accurate information on a particular part of their profession, as those who devote the whole of their more feeble intellect to the acquirement of such know ledge exclusively. The mariner whose more varied and extensive knowledge of his profession enables him to navigate his vessel through every danger to every coast of the habitable globe, gladly avails himself of the assist ance of the pilot, who has never travelled beyond his own coast, and, consequently, having his mind continually directed to the dangers which beset it, is often enabled by this local and peculiar information to render essential service to his brother of more "enlarged intellect" in conducting the vessel safely into port. We think the time is fast approaching, when the public will judge be tween the general practitioners of medicine and surgery and the pure surgeon or physician, by a system of com parison somewhat similar to this.—Merle' 4, Weekly lie garter. VARIETIES. Ax ImPossuntlTY.—Two barristers, of the flames of Doyle and Yelverton, were constantly quarrelling before the bench. One day the dispute arose so high that the incensed Doyle knocked down his adversary, exclaiming vehemently, " You scoundrel, I'll make you behave like a gentleman !" The other, smarting under the blow as he lay on the ground, ener getically replied, " No, never ! I defy you. You cannot do it, Sir."—New York Mirror. TYPOGRAPHY IN THE WEST INDIES.-At the Surrey Assize Court, Mr. Beaumont, before the jury was sworn, begged to call the attention of the bench to the very careless manner in which the island laws were printed. The errors were so gross and flagrant, that he was afraid the court was, in many in stances, misled by them. His attention having been called to the circumstance, he, with Mr. Watkis, had the day before ex amined a copy of the printed laws, with the record in the Se cretary's office, and detected several mistakes in the former.— [lt is difficult to say with whom the blame rests ; but the record in the Secretary's office ought not to be considered the correct copy. The mistakes in the latter are numerous; among them may be noticed one in the Poll Tax Bill of 1824, where the re ceiver-general is ordered to pay to the order of the commission ers of accounts the sum of X. 6000, to defray the expense neces sary for providing 2000 best wrought-iron blankets, for the use of the troops.—Jamaica Courant.] ANECDOTE OF CURRAN.—The most severe retort Mr. Curran ever experienced was from Sir Boyle Roche, the celerated mem ber of the Irish Parliament (who, a gentleman, and a good hearted person, could scarcely speak a sentence without making a blunder.) In a debate where Mr. Curran had made a very strong speech against sinecure offices, he was very tartly replied to by Sir Hercules Langrish. Curran, nettled at some observa tion, started up, and warmly exclaimed, "I would have the baro net to know that lam the guardian of my own honour." Sir Boyle instantly rejoined, "Then the gentleman has got a very pretty sinecure employment of it, and so has been speaking all night on the wrong side of the question."—Historic Memoirs of Ireland. What is Passion ? The art and act of suffering. What is Imagination ? The art and act of creating. The two together ? Poetry, dealing with mortal pleasure and pain, and thereby subliming even while it saddens, beautifying even while it trou bles life and death. Dwell they in more imperial power in man's or woman's heart? We who are every inch a man, say in woman's—you who are every inch a woman, say in man's. Brightly burn they both in both, when fair bosom meets bold, and saints or sinners feel " That Love is heaven, and heaven is Love." The world is in a bad way. Youth used to be clothed, as with a garment, with genius and innocence, and walked the earth in joy, unconscious of its own glory, as stars walk the sky. But now nobody is young except the old. "There are young women in these days," says the lady to whose delight ful book about Shakspeare we return, " but there is no such thing as youth—the bloom of existence is sacrificed to a fa shionable education, and where we should find the rose-buds of the spring, we see only the full-blown, flaunting, precocious roses of the hot-bed." If we ever marry, it shall be an old wo man—a woman who, whether fat and fair or not, shall at least be forty. Not a "full-blown, flaunting, precocious rose of the hot-bed," but an ever-blooming, modest Christmas rose, that meets you at the door with a snowy shower of blossoms. Can ker worse than the smut in wheat soon eats away the one, if frost blights it not till it wither; the heart of the other is sound as its leaves are smiling, even like the tree that flowers but in heaven, immortal amaranth. Yet one sometimes picks up on the streets Sybilline leaves, scribbled with warnings for the youth of this enlightened age, against the dangers of romance. They may as well be bid go armed against the Griffin and the Arimasyin. The days of chivalry are not gone, for when hay is at eight-pence a-stone, every Cockney keeps his 'oss; but the age of romance is gone, we understand, even among mil liners, who have betaken themselves to useful and entertain ing knowledge. " Where are they," Mrs. Jameson asks, these disciples of poetry and romance—these victims of dis interested devotion and believing truth—all conscience and tenderness—whom it is so necessary to guard against too much confidence in others, and too little in themselves—where are they ?" And the celebrated echo, Paddy Blake, answers, " Nowhere !"—Blackwood's Magazine. " Is it not unaccountably strange, sir," added the stranger, "that a religion which its divine founder gave to his creatures, as the bond of peace and universal love, should be converted into the instrument of discord, hatred, and persecution ?"—" It would be strange," replied the father, "it the corruption of our nature did not reconcile the anomaly; the grace of God must prepare the heart for the reception of truth, and the com prehension and practice of Christian charity, or the seeds of the gospel fall upon barren ground."—"Then, what a dif ference there is between the physical and moral soil of your country. Your priesthood among the most learned in Europe; why is it that their mental cultivation produces to their country nothing but bitter fruits—the apples of Asphaltites ?"—"Be cause that it is not their country, but is governed by strangers." —"When was it better governed? Aud why call your brethren of fice centuries strangers?"—" What made them our brethren? the sword."—"lt is the common introduction of nations to each other—it is in the wise dispensations of Providence; and, like the rod of the preceptor, hated by the pupil whose intellect it cultivates and interest it advances."—"'We wanted no master." —"True; you had them before Henry's invasion even to a curse. Your toparchs, your priests, your prejudices, and your brutal passions."—" God help us," groaned the father, "the last curse is upon us still."—" Civilization is neither simulta neous nor voluntary. The sun does not shine with equal beat upon all parts of our globe at the same time. Civilization is a boon from the conqueror; an infliction only when resisted."— " Leave us our country and our religion, and let us civilize our selves."—" Yes; had the Romans so left us here in Britain, we might still have our Druids, our human sacrifices, and our painted bodies; where would be the arts and their noble monu ments which surround us? What has your religion done for your country? Blood and massacre are bad evidence of civili zation and Christianity. IRELAND MUST BE CONQUERED AGAIN."—" God in his mercy arrest from my unhappy country the punishment which her crimes so loudly call for; no Chris tian can excuse her now."—Loue and Loyalty.—Dublin Uni versity Magazine. IRISH DUELLING.—Mr. Curran and Lord Clare, whilst the latter was attorney-general, had on one occasion a controversy which could only be terminated by a personal battle. The com batants fired two cases of very long pistols at each other, but certainly with very bad success and very little eclat; for they were neither killed, wounded, satisfied, nor reconciled; nor did either of them express the slightest disposition to continue the engagement. In those times, the 'usual mode of deciding points of honour' never was dispensed with; but in more modern and refined days, not only gentlemen civilians, but even military officers of his majesty's forces, frequently and ,placidly refer their 'points of honour' to be decided by the lord chief justice of the King's Bench, who generally punishes one of the disputants in person, and both of them in pocket,—undoubtedly the safest, though certainly the most expensive mode of settling personal differences. Mr. Curran was not at all pugnacious or quarrel some, or what was then termed in Ireland a gentleman 'fire eater,' yet he had the singular fortune of fighting frequently, and in every case without any disastrous result, or any inevitable necessity. He fought his most bitter enemy, Lord Clare, and he fought his most intimate friend, Mr. Egan. His duel with Major Hobart (Lord Buckinghamshire) was a singular one. A Mr. Gifford (nick-named in Dublin the 'dog in office') grossly offend ed Mr. Curran, who declared 'he would rather do without fight ing all his life' than fight such a fellow as Gifford; but as Gif ford was a revenue officer, lie expected Major Hobart would dismiss him for his impertinence, or fight in his place. To either alternative the secretary demurred; Curran insisted, and at length the major referred his case to his friend, Lord Car hampton, then commander-in-chief in Ireland. Carhampton, a man of singular wit and acuteness, quickly decided the points on clear principles. "A secretary of state fighting for an ex ' ciseman," said. he, "would be rather a bad precedent for his Majesty's diplomatists; but a major in the King's service is pugnacious by profession, and must fight any body that asks him;" the result was a meeting. Curran did his best to hit the major, the major curled his upper lip, and asked Curran with a sneer, "If he wanted any more of it?" Curran shook his head as a negative, and both left the ground, neither better nor worse friends than when they entered it. The portrait of Currau, here annexed, is a perfect fore-line of him. Being asked if he had nut sat for that portrait, "No," said he, "no, it 'was the por trait that sat for me."—Historic Memoirs of Ireland. CONFESSION OF ti IRISH PEASANT.—Luke M. Gentian being at confession, owned, among other things, that he had stolen a pig from. Tim Carrol. The priest told him he must make restitution; Luke couldn't—how could he, when he had eaten it long ago? Then he must give Tim one of his own. No; Luke didn't like that—it wouldn't satisfy his conscience— it wouldn't be the downright identical pig he stole. Well, the priest said, if he wouldn't he'd rue it, for that the corpus delictum, fim's pig, would be brought forward against him at his final reckoning. " You don't mane that, lather ?" " Indeed but tke father did." "And may be Tim himself will be there too?" " Must certainly." "Och, then, why bother about the trifle this side the grave ? If Tim's there, and the pig's there, sure I can make restitution to him then, you know."—Monthly Mag. I'OItEIGN INTELLIGEN THE STEAM ENGINE.—It appears from a lecture delivered in London, by Mr. Hemming, that some hue. , improvements have been lately introduced into the Cast tion of the steam-engine by a Mr. Hall. The first, which perhaps; the most important of the whole, relates tO the ' the preservation of the packing of which is effected fa years, and the consequent expense, labour, and inter( re-packing avoided, by causing the steam to operate . justing spring a g ainst the packing, and, consequently, to accurately after being used for years as it does at the meneement. The second improvement relates to the The steam is effectually secured by the facing of the w' face of the sliding frame with steel plates, and hemp 01 packing, and by the compensating nature of the seat-I which the sliding frame works. By these means the of the valve is greatly increased, and its becoming um friction and unequal expansion (allowing a consequent steam) is prevented. By the third improvement the frici the piston, both in the working cylinder and air-pump, is annihilated, as well as that of the valves and piste! whereby a great saving of power is effected, and the cy' and other parts of the engine are preserved. The el steam by the working piston and valves is effectually pr , by the uniform and plentiful flow of oil, a stratum or formed and constantly floats on the upper side of the 4 hermetically sealing any passage between it and the sie the cylinder. Another 'advantage, perhaps the second portance, is effected by the aniform and continued injec an ample stream of oil, or other lubricating matter, in' pipe which conveys the steam from the boiler to the ' cylinder, and the recovery of the lubricating matter afte passed through the engine, to repeat the operation, 's the quantity of oil, which would otherwise be expended day. will last for years. The fourth improvement relates condensation and the supplying of water to the boilers• means of this, the power required to pump the injectinr out of a vacuum is saved, for the air-pump is of much : the usual size, the introduction of air into the condenser is in combination with injection-water, and materially a vacuum) is also avoided, as well as the pumping of it the condenser along with the injection -water. The h., to the air-pump, &c. by water impregn a ted with s aline and other extraneous substances, is prevented, and the tion of the boilers and the slow generation of steam, upon the deposition of such extraneous matters, is avoided. The Hertfordshire peasants are notorious for their urbanity. A lady, while on a visit to a friend residing country, had, during her rides on horseback in. the not hood, become perfectly aware of the boorishness of tl santry. One day, when riding unattended, she came gate of her host's park, which had not a lodge. A chul was swinging to and fro upon it. She ventured to be , would hold it open while she passed. To her utter ai he did so. Delighted with his complacency, she give shilling, observing, " It is quite clear, my lad, from your ity, that you are not a native of Hertfordshire." The was, " Thee'rt a liar ; I be."

BIRTH, PARENTAGE, AND EDUCATION OF GLEDY-PIGGLEDY. A SERIOUS STORY. I am the eldest of five brother-spirits, whose occupatil pleasure it is to make a sport of mankind; our nai Hiygledy-Piggledy, Helter-Skelter, Harum-Seart4m, Topsy and Hoity-laity. In latter times, a sixth, whose bid ? , ever, was of this world, endeavoured to mak e himser an illegitimate relation of our family ; he was called lorum : but having discovered, upon examination, that all title, and good for nothing in use, we renounced hi impostor. With respect to our parents, I have seen the learned loggerheads; but I can assure the world that our father' s was Chaos, and our mother's Matter, from whom, as we the first family of the universe, has been derived the Mater, into every known language. Our father had, one' a time, very extensive dominions, which are now, all longer to be found. While he sat quietly on his out . throne, his sons may be said to have populated those territories in which they made their paradise. 0 the confusion of that romantic realm ! we lived every whey' no where—we possessed nothing and every thing! But it can scarcely be said that I took a part in the In of the world, until republicanism began to be tried as all riment; and then, indeed, a new field of interesting pr i l s t, was opened to me. I lingered for a long time in the Ago r :,, , ' Acropolis; nay, even the Lyceum and Portico wer e pia'' my frequent resort : but on the Roman Forum I built ill rfi cilia' academy. Patricians and plebeians alike became willing agents : all the family of Appii, Claudii, Syl l3, Sicinius Brutus the tribune, were my bosom friends. tit It has been by my influence that no republic has ever el g o ti without containing i that insubordinate spirit whi c h or, creates a rumbling n the belly of democracy. Let legi o ll l l l enact what laws they will, in lets than a century atter o ff adoption I am never at a loss for a door by whi c h I can e bicl the commonwealth. 1 have always found that my seed, ' f t ) is the seed of Discord, produces a more abundant croP f td that of law. There is not a state amongst the nations ° lO ,/ world upon which I have not continued to force my syst e 4 1 I have carried them from democracy to de s p o ti sm , r , potism to anarchy, and from anarchy t o d egra d a tion. tlic has been, and still is, the unvaryi ng p rinc i p l e o f my s pirit n . ' f , first stage is that of my labour, th e secon d th a t o f nix.!;l perity, the third that of my festivity ; and when the rives at the last, I leave it in contempt. Thus it was queen of the world. Tired at length with the paltry dominion of demagi praetorian guards, I meditated some grander schem, curse of the human race. With this ambition I calif cil of our brethren, wherein Helter-Skelter and Ha, rum readily offered their services to bring down from 1 myriads of locusts noon the fatness of civilised lan, succeeded those dark centuries, during which Top and I were as happy as the night was long. During riod, when mankind lost for a time all they had previoi amassing, I collected in my own granaries all the science, and pleasures, that had made the world so ri there was a goodly medley in my warehouse! I shall get the delight that I experienced at the destructio) Ptolemean library. That all the wisdom, knowledge, losophy of ages should be burning together in the sara , was to my eyes the most gratifying of spectacles. But of all the heroes that have astonished the mini Mahomet, Barchochebas, and Buonaparte, were my pecial favourites : and I have kept their hearts in in museum, which shall be seen by all those who shall faith. The exquisite disposition which these celebrate early shewed to jumble together all the sciences of civilift and all the principles of human sagacity, gained them a t ti alted opinion in my estimatiOn, and I loved them ff r „f rebellious hearts. Napoleon, indeed, wa s th e b e love°, 0 family; nay, he seemed rather to command u s than to 'r a rM instrument.
