quent recurrence of such events marks a careless-
ness and contempt of French authority, which
are the natural preludes to war. It has been
argued that France has every thing to lose and
nothing to gain by a war with Spain ; but to this
those who best know the state of France reply,
she has every thing to lose, and nothing to gain
by a Peace.

[MORNING HERALD.]
Within the last two days foreign news has
come upon us by explosions. The diplomatic
Notes addressed by the Russian, Austrian, and
Prussian Governments to the Spanish Go-
vernment, through their Ministers at Madrid
and—still more important—the Answer of the
Spanish Government and Cortes—it may be said
of the Spanish nation—to these Notes, and to that
of France ; of all these the reader is in posses-
sion, The press of other matter prevented our
noticing them yesterday. They bear some
minor, but still marked, shades of distinc-
tion—hut all agree in general views, and in
a certain style of declamation upon European
politics. In every respect the Russian Note
takes the lead. It is dated several days ear-
lier than that of Austria. There is in it a clear-
ness of expression, an earnestness of purpose,
an energy of movement, which distinguishes it
from the others, both as a political document and
as a composition. The comparison even suggests
strong internal evidence that Austria and Prussia,
instead uf' concurring purl passu in the move-
meta of Itusia, were carried away in her
train. The Austrian Note is a forced and

feeble echo of the Russian, uncertain of pur-
pose, and .somewhat deficieht in clearness, scat-
tering now and then pacific phrases over a'
surface of violent declamation. The 'Prussian
Note is as loud-voiced as either, but a lank and
meagre production.—indeed, no bad personifica-
tion of that august Monarchy. Besides the re-
luctant air, and the want of clearness of purpose
in the two latter Notes, there is, the reader must
have observed, a glimmering disclaimer of the
right of Foreign Powers to dictate what political
institutions are best adapted to the, actual con-
dition of Spain.

likenesses of the originn
it, iii it singular-fact, that the deaf and dumb are not ex-
eluded from the pleasures arising from music ; a remarkable
proof of this is related of an artist of the name of Arrowsinith, a
member of the Royal Academy, who, resided some months at
BVinnington, about the year.l6l6, exercising his'profession of
a miniature and portrait painter: Ile was, says Ale. Chippin-

himself near some article of wooden furniture, or a partition,

fingernails, which he kept rather long, upon the edge of some
projecting part of the wood, and there remain until the
piece under performance was finished ; all, the time ex-
pressing, by the moat signifleant gestures, the pleasure he felt in
the perception of musical sounds. Ile was not so much pleased
with a solo as with a pretty full clash of harmony ; and if the

But the most extraordinary circumstance in this case is, that he

composer displayed his science in modulating the different keys,

EXCCUTION.--4Yesterday morning the awful I
sentence of death was carried into effect at the top of Horse-.
monger-lane Jail, upon (.lies East, aged 17, for criminally ,
abusing a girl —Th under nine years of -age.is young man
was convicted upon the clearest testimony, and under rather
aggravated circumstances. Not the slightest hope of mercy
was held out to him, and he profited much by the religious
advice
.given him by the Reverend Mr. MANN, Chaplain of
the Jail. On Sunday the wretched culprit attended 'Di-
vine .Service, and his penitent and melancholy demeanour
excited great compassion in the auditory. In the evening he
took a last farewelfof his parents and family. Yesterday morn-
ing, at, a o'clork, the. Under-Sheriffs and attendants, arrived at
the prison, and the young man having received the sacrament,
was conducted into the yard and disencumbered of his irons ;
during this awful ceremony he gave way to excessive grief,
'and often called upon Heaven to pity him. At nine o'clock
the tolling of the prison bell announced that all was ready,
mild. the wretched culprit was conducttql to the scaffbl.l
by the Under Sheriffs, hlr. Walters (the Jailer), the Maplain,
and attendants. On the, platform he addressed a few it:artful-
late words tothe assembled crowd, who seemed greatly affect-
ed at his melancholy fate. In a few minutes the awful prepa.
rations being completed, the drop fell, and this world closed
on Idai for ever.

We understand Mr. II Attr,El:- is already en.
gaged to .perform at the Haymarket Theatre
during the ensuing -season. We hive also heard
that some other engagements of consequence are
in polio for that pleasant little house.
