rnent of Naples in partieilar, can ever fancy that
the people of that country. cowards or traitor's
they may be, au yet be so besotted as to look
upon the restoration of the aaciest system as cal.
ciliated to promote their interests, or to regard the
detested troops of Austria as the saviours of their
national freedom ?
In soother part of our Paper will Ise found a
copy of a Circular Letter addressed from Laybach
by Count NRSSZLIODR, in the name of the Emperor
bf RUSSIA, to the several Ministers of that Sove-
reign in the different countries of Europe. The
general purport of this &cement is similar in
principle to that of the Declaration published
by the entliority of the combined Cabinets. It
has, however, a further object, peculiar to the
Court of Russia, namely, to relieve that Power
from the imputations of private ambition, which. it
ie admitted, have been sufficiently loud and gene-
ral to call for this public contradiction. The
Ministers to whom this is addressed are commanded
to declare that the Emperor, in ordering 100,000
men to march upon Italy. was not actuated by any
selfish or ambitions motives, that his views of
policy are consonant with those of his august
Ally the Emperor FRANCIS, and contemplate
only the security of universal peace. The writer
asserts, that " the experience of all ages and
countries warns nations of the calamities which
form the inevitable train of crime and rebellion."
—ln this there is an historical inaccuracy, for
the experience of Great Britain happily proves that
a revolution, which in the imperial vocabulary of
the Continent means " crime and rebellion," may
he attended by the blessed effects of general and
individual prosperity. The writer also urges that
the EMPEROR'S desire is to prevent insurrection
from usurping a power which must become an
universal scourge. It would. however, in our opi-
nion, prove a task beyond the ingenuity even of
Count NesseLaoos to shew that any change in
the frame of government in Naples or Piedmont
could so far enlarge the resources, or promote
the energies of these countries, as to render any
power " usurped" by their Governmeuts an
•' universal scourge." Their confined limits, their
position in the vicinity of more powerful countries,
must have prevented these States from ever en-
dangering the general safety ; and whatever evil
might have been apprehended to the safety of the
neighbouring Governments from the example of
their freedom, it must have been controlled by
the immense armed force which has been directed
against the liberties of the offending people.

DURANCF. V.ILF —A few years since JAMES
Al* LONE, Esq. Mayor of Cork, imagining rf he
could stop the beggars of the miserable and sickly
appearance they made, lie should divest them of the
strongest claim to the charity oldie humane, came to
the following agreement with one GROUAGAN, one
of the constables, who was by trade a barbe►,
viz. he directed the barber to seize all the beg-
gars lie found strolling within the limits of the city,
for each of whom he promised a reward ; but in-
stead of bringing them before him (the Mayor), he
was to take them to his shop, and there ►have, wash,
/lies., and powder them in the genteelest almoner.
The (violable according:v seized about half a
dozen, and with the assistroce of razors, wash-ball,
scissars, and powder puffs, so completely metamor-
phosed them, that those whom he apprehended as
mendicants. when they left his shop appeared like
macaronies, at least about the head. This laugh-
:dohr scheme was attersded with such success, that
the whole tribe (during Squire Matostes mayor-
alty) avoided Isis jurisdiction us carefully as if it
was visited by a pestilence.
