The celebrated answer of the Emperor of Austria,
to the professors of the Lyceum at Laybach, " Je
n'ainte pas les mans," (I do not like the learned)
now re-echoed through every part of Europe.
Some few persons affected to disbelieve the anecdote,
while others could not bring themselves to think
that in the beginning of the nineteenth century
sentiments so favourable to ignorance could have
ken uttered by a sovereign at the head of a civilized
nation. The Imperial decree, however, by which
the Lancaster schools (enseignentent mane!) at Milan
have been lately suppressed, and a copy of which has
just reached us,remove all doubts respecting the truth
of the reported bon mot of the Austrian Emperor,—
There were, in Milan, two schools of 500 boys
each, established on the principles of Bell and Lan-
caster, by a numbor of wealthy and philanthropic
individuals, who had obtained the necessary per-
mission from Government fur that purpose, We
are assured, that the friends of general education
would have been delighted at the progress which
the pupils were said to make under that mode of
instruction, and the inhabitants of the capital of
Lombardy began to flatter themselves that in a few
years more the condition of the lower classes of
people, who bad hitherto been condemned to the
most abject ignorance and superstition, would be
gradually improved, to the great benefit of them.
selves and the State. This hope, however, has fig
the present been completely frustrated, by a sweep-
ing and arbitrary ac. of the Austrian government,
.dated the 9th February, commanding the immediate
close, and total abolition of those schools, witlt
declaration that no appal or remonstrance will be
received from any et the parties interested in the
establishments. This act of course was published
in the name of his Majesty. It will
scarcely be believed that the only public aehools fur
the middle and lower ranks of life now remaining at
Milan, tire the Scuola (inberniali, frequented by
