y BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the

which, float its obstinately resisting every course of medicine
prescribed by the.most eminent;-of the faculty here, and un-
dergoing several severe courses of salivation, and twice dis-
charged from the Hospital with little relief, would appear to /
'be of the most inveterate nature. In the spring of last'year
my disorder had got 'to such a bead, a 3 nearly to put a period
to my existence--I had a large ulcer un the crown of my head,
one on each arm, and "my legs were broke out in a frightful
manner; my right Was dreadfully painful, and had been in. a
state of ulceration for tlu last seven years ; my left had also
two barge nodes on it, ws; vary much discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating pain, particularly whets warm in bed,
as nearly to deprive me of rest; in this lamentable- state, I

which I began to do on the 2f;th of May; in the course of a
fortni!alit I began to receive beneat—in little more than a
month the ulcers on my bead and arms were suandly healed—
soon after, the sores on my legs healed also; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolouration in the sisiu, mid pain in the
bone of the left, 'which, by the blessing of God, and a little
longer perseverance in your invaluable Medicine, subsided ;
the nodes dispersing, the skin regaining its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going thus became, by
your liherel,advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my
former complaints--•-have recovered my former spiri s and
strength,' and ant become jolly and fat, in Which state having
continued ninny months to the astonishment of all who knew
me, I mil at a losikip what terms ter-express my gratitude, but

this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa-

the 6th 'Chapter of M. CHATEAUBRIANWS work,
at we have now aril% ed, treats of the Emi-
grants, and heir situation and rights. Upon this
part of his subject his views are just and mode-
-rate—lie defends them against the absurd accusa-
tion- brouirt forward by the real .regicides, that
they %%:e.re accessary to.the Knives death, by de-
selling him in the hour of hi, distress. This charge,
in truth, is too absurd to stand in need of much, if
of any refutation ; such as it is capatle of receiv-
ing our author has satisfac'orily given it by ex-
plaii!ing the vital necessity upon which these per!
zeruted, proscribed, and unfortunate. persons act-
ed when they saved their own lives, the sacrifice
of which could have been of no use to their be-
loved Monarch.

The next material topic that is treated of is to
shew that France is daily consolidating and Whit-
ing under the restored race. This we take to he
the natural course upon all such great revolutions.
At first there is much doubt, and perplexity, and
fear and dislike, but these kradually worn
ant, and the jarrings of party-spirit soon subside
into repose, especially where there :are no yin-.
dictivt proceedings resorted- to, and the Svercigu

shews only au anxiety to
,bury the very remeni-.
bra,tre of past errors and past crimet in oblivion.
M. CHATEAUBUIAND takes this opportunity of
drAtring an aWeeting -picture of the rnild and pa-
ternal rule of Louis XVIII.

It is not our intention to go minutely through
the numerous questions so ably discussed in this
Pamphlet. Our -accustomed limits Warn us to
select only two or three o,f•stich as are most inte-
resting to aiglish relders, and most eliginle for
extracts to afford a -fair speeinien of the Anchor's

—a subject -rat her, ,we hope, cularge4l upon to

as invented by Ow ; or silo-
po,:c th-t, betore them, nobody ever thoriglit it
possible for a govcr:tment to exist, part:ll:int; of
the three great species Of governments, Abe mo-
narchic, the aristocratic, and the democratic,

•r

" In the first place, it was the opinion of
,all
the ancients, that the best tort» of government
possible, was that which should inclutie all these
titre powers. Such was the opinion 'of Pytha-
goras ;arid Aristotle. I agree with Plato,' says
Cicero, that the best form of government is,
that whi,:h offers a happy mixture of Loyalty, of
aristocracy, and of democracy.' ' This was,rillat
Ideurgus established at. Sparta. Let us hear Po.;
iybius lVould not that be the most perfect of
all governments its which the powers should serve,
as. a eounterpois7e each to the other ;. in which the
authority of the people should repress the too
great po‘ver of the King and where an elected
senate should put a curb upon the licentiousness
of the people.' Tacitus was of the same opi-
nion ; he thought, indeed, that such. a govern-
ment was too perfect ever to exist among men.
Bit we have elsewhere remarked, that it was re-
served for Chrktianity, to realise this fine dream
of one of the greatest geniuses of antivity ; in
fact, the representative system has its 'origin its
the Christian institutions.

" Great authorities %vill not prove that a pro-.
pie ought to overturn the government, tvben is
established in /order to establibb one -more/per-
fect. But should this people have changed their
government b} means of u violent revolution, if
the new enuslitation he found confortnuble to
"what was thought by a Lyeargns, an Aristotle, a
Plato, :t Yoluhius, a 'ruckus, to be the.. noblest
of all forms., that ought to Inspire confidence in
it, we way flatter ourselves that we are not de-

ceived. • • .

montesquien. after" making a pompous enlo- •
Constittaion, asserts that
r,ittrtr uptSu the English;
the 10(111(410mi of it is to lie found among the
Clormans, as described by Tacitits : that, this fine
system consequently had its origin in the woods.
it this be so, in adopting it, at this momtnt, we
shall onlydo• like the English, and resume -the
government of cur for4athers. But whether it .
came from. the Francs, .our anceNtors, whether
it were prodkieed by.the Christian religion, or
whether it has bowed ti-ow boil' these .Sot tees,
it. is Certain • that it suits- our present situation,
that it is no way adverse to our luauilers, ' and t

that it is not an absolutely foreign production
among us."-
M. de CHATBAUBRIVND COM/IMS most Success-
fully 'many other arguments brought by Demo-
crats against the New Co4stitution : IrS then pro-
ceeds to defend it eqoally againSt the objections
of the old Royalists, who contend for the entire and
Unmixed restoration -of the ancient regime. This
desire being to our minds, impossible of attain-
ment, it is unnecessan' to go'into the discussion
upon the obstacles which render it inexpedient.
We shall, however; extract au animated picture
of the Feodal MonarchiCal system from the pen
of the Author, t, ho •sceim,,rather inclined to sup-
port the hazardous opinion, that itswould not be
easy to depict a state of such unmixed fool re-
iulting from any state of univer, •i fieedoni that
has ever existed, as that of the Monarchy which
has passed away in the annals of France.

" The ancient Constitution of the monarchy
was excellent for its time ;" Machlave], who vras
well acquainted with
.it, has warmly praised -it.
Nothing could be more perfect tha►a the balance
of the three orders of the state-until that balance
was destroyed. NOthing-.conld be" more admira-
-ble or more complete than the ordinances, of the
Kings of France ; and Ivhere there might be found
consecrated, ill the principle's our liberties.
There %vas, perhaps, not a single case of oppres-
sion that bad not been guarded against, or for
which our monarch had not attempted to provide
a remedy. It is, moreover, very remarkable, that
All the ancient disturbances in France were-catised
either. by foreign wars, ,or by religions contests,
but that none of them can..possibly be traced
to errors in the political. economy of the king-
dom.

"." The people in ancient France were classed
less by political divisi(Cns, .than by the nature of
their various duties ; thus, the first order of the
State was that which invoked the Deity for the
s,lfety and happiness of all, and which comforted
the unhapp‘, 'and' ryl e.e(l the distressed. These
funetions Were regarded as the most sublime that
Could fall to the !or of niAn ; and they were so a 1)...

691 es, the vassals'went to war as well as their

to enquire whether it a'a, of re solid -or more
perfect than that raised to its stea!l; ‘vliether the
old Governmert, founded upon reli ion like those
of the days of antiquity. and formed slowly by
our manners, our character, our soil, 0.. r_ eh;
mate, and proved by the experience Of a4es, was
not more in harmony with the genius of the nit
tion, and more fitted to produce great men, and
substantial virtues, titan the Government whiel%
replaced it. \\'e enquire not, nor do we examine,
whether that which is now called the progress of
'political light„ is a real progress, or a retrograde
moveineut of the hurnint Mind, a retail' towards
barbarism, and an absolute corruption of . rdi-
;riot), of politics, of morality, and of. taste. All
that may be maintained and those who take that
cause in haul cannot be deficient in powerful rea-
sons, and, above all, in pathetic sentiments, for
the justification of their opinion.-- But it is ne-
cessary,, in life, alWays to set out from the point
at which t-re have arrived. A fact is a fact; and
whether the Government which was destroyed
was bad or good, this much is certain, that the
people of France are no longer in that situation
which they occupied a -century back, much less
what they were. three ages ago. it is necessary
that we should take thcni such as they are, and
not always consider them such. as they are not,
and never can.bc; an infant is not a full grown
youth ; a full grown youth is not an aged Man.
" However we may ‘vish that things should ire
arranged differently front what they ,are, yet they
never can be so. , We nr4y for ever deplore the
fall of the ancient Government, of that admirable
system; whose duration would of itself be a suffi-
cient eulogy; but then our admiration, our tears,
our regrets, can never bring back a Dugoesclin,
La Hire, or Dunois. The ancient alonareby,
lives tit longer for us but in history, like tl-e.
flamme chest, nearly .crumbled to dust, which was
still to beseen in the.treaSury of Si. Denis, even
in the reign of Renry the Fourth ; the brave
mtht touch with, tenderne,s and respect,
this testimony of our ancient valour ; but be
served, notwithstanding, under the triumphant
white flag, on the plains-of Ivry. and did not
demand that they should take down fro lt amidst
the trionumews of departed'greatne,.:s the Scant(
acrd which had floated vi-to.riorrsly 4 the field. of
