in such a manner as 'lb Misty the feelings of his

tertains of illy integrity and talents. Mr. CANNING owes
Lig Ovanivnient solely to his merit. It his been so trans-
Cendant, that it biolie through.the harriers, which genius,
unsupported by fortune aed family connexions, finds it so
difficult to sutinount Allowing even his conduct towards
the Noble Lord tryttave been culpable, has it been of that
nature as to justify the indecint atitteknwitli Which the
Papers in the interest of Ili:well/Meta have Since assitil;•,l
him. Is a public life of unimpeachable integrity to stiffer
for one fault, if it can be so called ? Or does his objectiiMie
Lord C.sitiLeiliA6a, or his dispute 'with that Nobleman,
whom we will not act up as a pattern.of Purity, render him
objectionable to the public i We have heard a great deal
about the irascibility and hauteur of • Mr.•Csatrwino : he
may be proud acrd even irritable; but will those men
dare accuse him of servility or went of
.principle The
late intrigues against him in the Cabinet Are. the. Strong-
tit proofs of his independence. His colleagues sank
under the ascendancy IA Ni.- genius ; and they intrigued
to reinoVe him. Lord 'CAST LEREAGII accuses Mr. CAN-
NING, it is trite, of indelicacy and deceit, in not com-
municating, imifiediately his olkiections to his Lordship.
It must be ohserved that .the Noble Lord wrote in a mo
'tient. of irascibility, his feelings still smarting uctler the
supposed injury ; arid every man will make an allowance
for the violence o the imputation, taking care, however,
to distrust the assertions Of an individual- labouring undec
the paroxism of an angry passion. Lord C Aso I,Eneauti's
conduct justifies by no means any im ropriety Mr. CAN-
NING may be., guilty. of;. but the SO Lord, we think,
should- be careful "low he accuses of hers of insincerity,
when he recollects his own conduct during the negocintions
relative to the Union! What was his conduct on that me-
morable occasion ? We will not accusehim of duplicity dur-
ing the transaction ; but his conduct exposed-him to the
imputation. Upon the whole, we have no hesitsition. to he:
quit Mr. CANNING of deceit and insincerity ;. thodgh we
think his Lordship was not handsnmely treated. But the
blame is to be ascribed solely to the false and inhuman de-
licacy of his own friends.

important and curious monuments of ancient Home and
the Sonth of France. Nothiug is so favourable for repre-

pores 'heighten the ilLsion ; but it is very difficult to cut,
tnd requires besides, infinite patience.
During the intimacy which subsisted some years since,
sletween the celebrated Mr. Pope and the much-Amired
Ptichess of Queensbury, a misunderstandiog happened, in
which the Poet thought himself improperly treated by her
Li-race; this gave rise to his writing the following epigram z
Did Celits'i person with her sense agree,
What mortal could behold her, and be free;
•
But Nature has, In pity to Mankind,
Enrich'd the image, but•defac'd the mind.
To Which her Grace gave the retort courteous in the
following lines
liad Pope a person equal to his mind,
110 m. fa,al would it be to woman-kind:
But Nature, who does all things well ordain,. •
Deforin'd the burly, but enrich'd tti brain.

iiis humane efilirts. He travelled in Europe for IS years,

quaiwied with the happiness aild wretchedness of mankind,
and every where to promote the former and mitigate the
latter. He had converted his line castle or. Buchlowitz,
in Moravia, into an Hospital for sick and wounded Aus-
trians, in attending whom he caught an epidemic fever,

A few days since, a curious wedding look place in the
neighbourhood of Oxford-street, which was attended with
serious consequences. The young man who officiaied as
'father,clnained the privilege of a introit to embrace his
i'ihild. The trusbanu (an Iristinian), not relishing. the
twariiith of hie embraces, threw him into the street, from
the first floor window. The bride, who ha 4 a greater at-
tachment for the father than for her husband, followed his
example by serving him the same. . The parties are hoth
dangerously ill in consequence, so much so that the father
is not likely to recover. . _
