had applied their cunning skill to the conflicts which
engage courts of law ; but no living man, perhaps, except
Prime Louis Bonaparte, had pared the hours of a studious
youth, and the prime of • thoughtful manhood, in contriving
how to apply stratagem to the science of jurisprudence.
It was not, perhaps, from natural basemen that his mind
took this bent. The inclination to sit sad sit pleasing for
the attainment of some object of desire—this indeed wee his
nature ; but the inclination to labour at the task of makiog
law an engine of deceit, this did not coins per force with his
I blood. Yet it came with his parentage. . . For years the
prince pureed his strange calling, and by the time his studies
were over, he had become highly skilled. Long before the
moment had come for bringing his crooked science into use,
he had learnt how to frame a constitution which should
seem to enact one thing and really enact another. He
knew bow to put the word " jury" io law, which robbed
ma of their freedom. He could set the snare which he
called "universal suffrage." He knew how to strangle a
nation in the night time with • thing he called a " Plebi-
scite."

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE —The Danmark, a
Danish journal, has the following remarks io its impression
of the Bth inst. :—" Our journal for the first time this day
approaches an English public in that rich and sweet sad
mighty largely latinized Scandavian dialect now knows by
the name of the English tongue, our own dialects is like I
manner having become largely mixed with classical, &ad
Saxon, and German words sad idioms. We do
so for the best of all reasons. We wish that
splendid race, which has sprang from the loins of Bean-
diaavia to know more than it does of Scandinavian affairs,
and we desire to excite in British bosoms a still greater in-
terest in Scandinavian lands. and particularly in that pro-
'How of Scandinavia to which we especially bloat. All
the Northern peoples, ficendiaavian and English, have one
origin, speak even vet substantially the mine language, and
constitute one great folkelerneot whose political, and social,
and commercial and literary interests are absolutely
the same. But the Danish dialect, very nearly the lan-
guage of Wycliffe sad Chaucer 500_yean ago, is now she
speech to our English °oriels What we write canoot
therefore reach the
of "LlEnglishear. Hence we desire to use •

article in English upon Danish affairs every week.
