The celebrated answer of the Emperor of Austria,
to the professors of the Lyceum at Laybach, " Je
m'aime prs les unpins," (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
been uttered by a sovereign at the head of a civilized
nation. The Imperial decree, however, by which
the Lancaster schools (enseignement mutael)ot Milan
have been lately suppressed, and a copy of which has
just reached us,remove all doubts respectiog the truth
of the r, ported bell mit 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 number of wealthy and philanthropic
individuals, who had obtained the necessary per-
mission from Government for that purpose. We
are assured, that the friends of general education
would have been delighted at the progress which
the pupils were said Le 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 had 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 for
the prevent 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, with
declaration that no app. el or remonstrance will be
received from any of the parties interested in the
establishments. 'phis net of course was published
in the name of his Laperial Majesty. It will
snAircely be believed that the only public schools fur
the middle and lower rank.; or life now remaining at
Milan, are the Scuttle Ouberniali, frequented by
about thirty or forty pupils, who are instructed by
an Austrin tencaher.
Mr. Thomas Flindell, ell't-tr of the {fester/ Lu-

libel is th,; celebrated one which Mr. Wetherell
brought under the notice of the !louse of Commons.
