teomprelteusive moaner, in which the Ministers of
the Allied Courts considered the intend situatiou

which related to the fill powersgiven to the Duke

a hielly layout aisle impression in'Paris. They

Ocroaest, 1813.—M. Fortelle; Duke of
Otranto, has coutinued to draw so mach attention
ever since- his name has been known,. that it i 3
well orth while carefully to collect every feature,
in older to make ourselves fully acquainted with
bis matiaer and character. For this purpose, the
•sulastance of a spee;cii which this Statesman made
to the Judges of the Court ot,Appeal, foul of the
Tribenal of the First InStastre at Rome, in Dec. •
I 13,' furnishes a material .fleieSsonent. It is folly
warranted to be genuine, Toough M—Fortche

tau tnerly of the Oolice, had persuaded the above
,Courts (it Justice to wait upon him. He teeci‘ed

Place d'Eepagne, and having•matle them Wait some.
-came out of his cabinet an his night piwn,
nod addressed them as follows
" An !. Way°, gentleinen. bravo ! I am glad
'to see you ; you are the Judges and the Procura-
tors of- the first Court- of Justice of the Third
:Milnary Division ; yes, gentlemen, one most

reheini the spirit of the laws ; always interpret
them in the Sense of the Goverotneut, for by the
-change of circumstances at hiw may often become
useless or dangerous to the Govericnient, awl then
one most, for heaven's sake, not think of abiding
-by it : ii is also necessary to make the air at Rome
•more wholesome, for that purpose trees must also
be plaided which develope the oxygen gas, and
imbibe the hydrogen gas, which is so dangerous to
the air ; besides planting trees, it is proper to
clean the city tlikyroughly, and kr doing this

:Marseilles. Every house-owner . must clean
before his own door ;• only at the beginning

.Then he turned to M. Legonilles and idr. Presi-

building for the distribution of justice! He was
answered, that the sittings were field in the Palace

•Temale of Justice. For example, let sonic church

Isola di S. Pietro,. whith au Imperial (Lnce has or-

pillars of St. Paul's church, and the stones from Si.
Peter, would make an (excellent Temple of Justice.
YOU matt Id such a Temple of Justice." With
this exliortirtion, he dismissed the astonished
Judges, to the extreme confusion of his frieltd
Leonides, who saw how difficult it was for them
to refrain from laughing.. The following notes
