INCREASE OF FEVER.—We regret to state that'
fever still continues to he alarmingly on the increase, and it is to
be apprehended that the present damp weather, anxiously as it has
been desired, will give to disease a more aggravated form and fatal
termination. A, most deplorable scene was exhibited yesterday
evening outside the Meath hospital, where several unfortunate be-
ings of both sexes were lying, imploring to be admitted, but which
was quite impossible, from the crowded state of the hospital, and
even the temporary sheds that have been erected in the grounds.
At a late hour is the evening two marquees were pitched within

a proper situation could be chosen, much good might be effected
by pitching a sufficient number of tents to receive such fever pa-
tients as the hospitals cannot accommodate.—Freeman's Journal.

M. CHATEAUBRIAND.

M. CHATEAUBRIAND appears to be
again in the
held. The Journal des Debuts contains an article

upon the uresent state of the political world, and the
events which have taken place during the present year,
which we must attribute to the pen of that prolific
writer. The style, and the accusation it contains,
against Prince METTERNICH and M. VILLELE, of
the object and effect of their measures, alike prove it
to be his production.
The efforts orPrince METTERNICH are said to have
I been directed to teach the people only to obey, to yield
their necks, to submit to all yokes, and to sleep quiet
in their fetters ; and M. VILLELE is said to have an-

swered for these wonders to the king
But this curious article must speak for itself, and we
therefore copy it verbatim. of FRANCE.
PARIS, Auu. 21.—Tlie world WAS ctticulated to remain at
peace. Time was a clock stopped. It erased to proceed, and
the people, stopped like it in their course of sixty ages, were
proceeding to learn only to obey, to yield their neck*, to sub;
mit to all yokes, to sleep quiet in their fetters. M. de Metter-
ilia' had told these wanders to M. Villele, and he answered for
them to the King of France. Since these oracles we have seen a

revolution at St. Petersburgh, a revolution at Caraccas, a re-
volution at Rio Janeiro, a revolution at Lisbon, a bloody and
dreadful revolution at Constantiliopl►. The long revolution of
Greece has pursued its course in the midst of ruins. By crashes
of thunder, the world answer's those who said it had fallen
into eternal silence and eternal lethargy. The spectacle of the
great commotion. which have in a few months shaken the East,
the West, Europe and America, would be lost on the States-
man, who should see in them only isolated common catas-
trophes. There the character of the strange scenes in which
we assist, and which have all a common bond, the springs of '
which seem to be moved by the same hand which a mysterious
power pushes to the same conclusion. It is only one drama
which the universe embraces. The human race, till now elk.
united, separated into as many hostile parts as_ there were
barriers raised between the people by institutions, by distance, by
seas; the human race, loaded with chains, dragged on every side
its miserable destiny. Now all is changed. There is only one
genius and one sin for the world. Nations pressed together towards
4 common end--imd that end Providence assigned it ; enthusiasts
give it the name of liberty and civilization ; the sages call it merely
the Progress. On whatever side we look, this necessity of pro-
gress appears in the centre of the two hemispheres ; and whether
we rush into improvement, or go by slow degrees, by peace, or
war, by extermination or liberty, it is always the" same lever
which moves and holds in suspense the Universe. The two capi-
tals of the two rails monarchies which remain on the confines of
Europe and Asia, have been seen in Ices than one year, contending
with rebellions guards, but on both rides we recognize the same
attempt to abandon the Asiatic forms, and to take one step snore
towards Europe. We shall not assume the defence of the web
spun in the young empire of the Czars. To condesim august heads,
and raise a Republic between Siberia and the Crimea; the means
were worthy of the end. It was proceeding by crimes to follies. I low-
ever, it is a great event that such thoughts have been able to appear on
the banks of the Neva. We cannot avoid seeing that the Russian
armies have not been put in contact with impunity with the po-
pulation of the West. It is manifest that the Aristocracy of the
North, in taking its part in enjoyments and refinements of the South,

uts entered into the movement of ideas which excites the rest of
he world. Only, as it always happens, the most exalted and the
unit rash have joined in the plot. But, if we reckon by ,vhat is

revealed to us of the, number of the favourers of the Republic, the
ignorant friends of a moderate anarchy—those who would wish to
see the fates of a reigning House, 411 well as of the Empire, yield
to stable and protecting rules, we shall comprehend that a new
order of things has begun in the Russisia. A strong and wise
policy, such as announces itself in thatuf the young heir of Alex-
ander, will remove sudden changes and unnecessary disturb-
ances. But those vast countries will no longer be governed as
by a Catharine 11, and Paul I. Institutions suited to the wants
of a half-barbarous Society will fortify the Imperial authority,
by emanating from his prudence; or a new pretext, a
new standard, would be offered .to all the factious, and
this monarchy, which comprehends all conditions as well as all
cliMates, would be reserved fur inevitable agitations. Thus we
ljave seen blacks assume a rank among sovereign nations, and the
Tagus bathe with its waves a free State. Two Tribunes are
about to rise, should it even be among torments, in the centre of
that Peninsula, so free in barbarous times, and so slavish in
polished ages. America, by looking on our coasts, will only
see from Norway to the Algarves, nations governed by generous
institutions. These are first England and France, which are en-
circled and defended by constitutional countries. Thus Por-
tugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Wirteauberg, Bavaria, follow
the laws of Princes, who cherish, like the people, public liberty.
This beautiful system of the separation of powers opposed
by to many passions and prejudice*, formerly connected
with mischievous notions, which the crimes of the. French Revo-
lution had conjured up against it, by violating its image, can now
reckon on a majority of votes in the College of Kings. Of the
fifteen Crowns of Christendom, eight shine, in fact, over represen-
tative Monarchies. It is known that the heart of the Bourbon
who reigns in the South of Italy is not the enemy of useful insti-
tutions. The cabinet of Berlin appears inclined towards the adop-
tion of this regime, which only guarantees the wise and paternal
Policy of good Princes. A magnanimous Proclamation permits
the people to penetrate the secret of the high thoughts which oc-
cupy the Heir of the Curs. "It is from above," says he, "it is
by degrees, that true ameliorations are affected, and abuses reform-
ed: in the march to gradual perfection, every desire of the most
insignificant individual shall be received by hint with gratitude."
While this Royal language is heard throughout Russia, Greece
continues the painful labour of her deliversoce.
Thus M. Metternieh will remain faithful to his aversion to the
perfection of human society, surrounded on all sides by Consti-
tutions which expend under his hand, like those plants which
expand under contrary winds. He now hears his strott6 resound-
ing at his gated. At some leagues from Vienna, and under tha
same sceptre, live a people who remember their independent days,
and who, from time to time, remind the Emperors of 'their he-
reditary rights. On the other side, Austria leans on Italy;
Such is the policy which pretends to stop the march of time,
and fetter the human race. While such attempts were making
under the 'eye, and even under the hand of the authors of
these attempts, the movement of the universe has produced
what we Lave just seen. May this sight instruct the Coun-
sellors of Kings in the vanity of a few men endeavouring
to change the destiny of all. May the miseries which have
preceded, teach nations 'the danger of premature wishes of
violent attempts, and theories supported by crimes. It is con-
soling to see at present a tendency between people and sovereigns
to resume that confidence, without which there is nothing but
anarchy. From the height of a legitimate throne, the Haytians
have been made a people. From royalty in all its poWers pro-
needed those institutions under the shade of which Portugal, re-
covering its ancient liberties, will be restored to the prosperity
and independence which it owed to these kings, the issue, like
our own, of Hughes-le-Grand, Robert-le-Fort.

SPECIMEN OF ITALIAN REVENGE.—An Italian
feigned to be reconciled with one who had offended
him. One evening, when they walked out together
in a retired spot, the Italian seized him by the back
and drawing a dagger, threatened to stab him if he did
not abjure and curse the Creator. The other, in vain,
entreated that he *night not be obliged to commit
what he felt a horror in doing ; but, to save his life,
at length he complied, The assassin, having now
completed his wish, plunged the poignard in his
bosom; and exultingly exclaimed, that he had reveng-
ed himself in the most dreadful manner possible ; for
he bad caused the hey and the soul of Lis enemy to
perish at a single stroke !

THE LATE PRESIDENT JEFFERSON.

Prayer used by Bishop MOORE, of the Episcopal
Church, at the funeral of the late American President
JEFFERSON :.

" Almighty and Eternal God, the Creator of all things, and
Judge of all men ! Whose glory the leaven of heavens cannot
contain—whose delight is among the children of men ; and whose
tender mercy is over all thy works. Look down, we beseech
thee, in indulgent goodness upon us, , thy unworthy servants, and
while we confess our obligations to thee, for the numerous bless-
ings we enjoy, be thou pleased to impress our hearts with such a
sense of gratitude that we may be ashamed to offend thee. May
we shed forth thy praise, most merciful God, not only with our
Ups, but in the language, the expressive language of holy and vir-
tuous lira. _ . .

We thank thee, heavenly fuher, for the civil and religious
blessings with which as a nation thou hart favoured us—for that
form of government which secure, to us liberty without lion-
tiouanets ; and protects us in the enjoyment of the sacred rights

of conscience.
" We invoke thy blessing, oh merciful God ! upon all our
rulers. Direct them, we beseech thee, by thy counsel—save
them from the unhallowed influence of prejudice, and may all
their proceedings he such as thou wilt approve and bless. In-
spire the minds of the people with a spirit of due subordination to
the laws of our favoured country. May we always bear in mind
that our rulers have difficulties peculiar to the stations they oc-
cupy; and may those difficulties, inseparable from their office,
influence us to supplicate God.in their behalf, and produce iu our
minds a spirit of indulgence towards them.
" In particular. we commend to thy care and protection the
President of these United States. Teach him, oh, teach him,
most gracious God, to consider himself the Father of the nation
over which he has been called to preside. May the interest of
the whole American family form the object of hie paternal re-
gard—the subject of his continual prayer and supplieation.—
May no sectional partialities lead him astray from the path of
official duty. May no sectional jealousies take possession of his
mind, or the minds of the people committed to his charge, and
may that happiness we have heretofore enjoyed be continued to
our latest posterity.
" Bless, we beseech thee, the Governor and Magistracy of this
state. Direct them in all their doings with thy most gracious
favour, and further them with thy continual help. Grant that they
may prove themselves the nursing fathers of thy church and people.
May the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ be precious to their
hearts, and may they enjoy the consolation flowing from the gospel
of thy dear Son.
" Peculiar, blessed God !. are those circumstances which at this
time engage our attention. Be thou pleased to impress our hearts
with that solemnity becoming the occasion ; and while we are
dwelling in reflection upon the memory of thosew hose removal from
the vale of tears has excited the noblest sensibilities of our natures,
may we remember thee as the Author of those bleseings secured to us
by their laboure : and reverence them as the honoured instruments of
thy favoured loving-kindness towards us. 0 raise, thou God of love,
raise up from among us other patriots-, whose bosoms may burn
with holy ardour in the cause' of liberty and virtue, who may de-
fend that Government which has been esnctioned with thy blessing,
which has rendered us victorious in war, and prosperous in
peace. We thank thee that thou didA spare those venerable
patriots to witness the jubilee of our nation, and upon that
jubilee didst call them hence. Look in mercy, we beseech thee,
gracious God,. upon their bereaved families; Owe beneath them
the everlasting arms of thy love; may they find a shelter in every
American heart ; never leave them nor foriake them for a moment ;
and at last, oh take them, bleared Jesus, to a better world. We
ask these blessings, thou God of love, for Jesus Christ's flake.—
Atnen."
