I,ADN7 MORGAN.

We mentioned, in our Paper of yeitcrday, tin
reasons which made Lady MORGAN So dear
The Morning Chronicle. That judicionS Paper has
:also ventured to decide on the cause Which nrc-
oked the criticism Of 'the
,(urrlerty Reri.rio
'i'hat;Journal will not, we suspect, enter into any
explanation with, its, COnductoii ; and we shall,
therefore, say a few words on the Subject in our
Own name.. The Morning Chronicle asSerti, ;lint
Lady MORGAN, Who, by-the-bye, is likely to wake
as much noise'in the world as livr narrie,ake;
f!,The, Corsican Fairy„" is attacked with such
violence, because " she is not v-ry feivontable
the pretensions of legitimacy." But, as tar as we
can see, The Quarterly Review never hints that al,*
of her children were born out of we,ll,tck, nor
flakes the slightest allusion to this 14xii y of p,
ciple, which her friend in The Morning Chronicle
(ht, IriA'one he must be) has there fixed upon
her.

So much for the motives of the Critic's severity
Nov for the iojttstice of it :--
I. Lady Morgan calk Li Fayette's family
triarchal, 'which the Reviewers eouqtriied into
making MI children and grand-cliildret, patri-
archs."—M. C.

of we found,„" says Lady Morgan, " La
Payette surrounded hy his patriarchal family: (i.e. as
'the explains it), his sou and.d.augt4terand 'levet)
grand-children." The, Reviewers di, hot' r+-peat
what Lady Morgan says Had tl.i; poor puzzle-
'beaded woman, in speaking. of ht r ciyit to f,,a
Yayette, told its that she foond the pi floret)
Surrounded by bis clii!dren and grand-children,
slie would t have. escaped "t censot e of. The
Quarterly Review, and the blundering justification
of The Morning Chronicle.
2. " pritsioc.,,euiture is at obvious elision fur
I:to.ilglits of primotzvnittive."—M. C.
This is excellent atait Will only require a head
constructed somewhat atter the model of tit ut
Lady MorAan and her defender, to understand all
her ‘eorks in future. " tiny' emit the Morn-'
ii!g Chronicle, " it is false that Lady :Vlorgan
titkes the Perr Elise tor, a -.Con flissor, or C01111)%lirS
ltiai with the Pere de In Chaise." It is,- oil the
contrary, as " true as truth:" The stupid blunder
had already been the jest'of all Park, and is nieu-'
tinned iu that critopie on het :work of which
spirited translation, appeared a few days since in
The New Times.

, 3. '' The Het ieTers deny bouquets d-'eubres to
be v,ood,Fr,och. It is in daily use."--Avr. C.
Nuw for Laity Morgan. " The colleges in
Normandy ate 'kitty buried in bouquets d'arbres,
or kiwis of tires." In this short sentence is
evinced an iotorance both of-the Wretch and Eng-
lish langnAges. The phrase, as the miter in the
alorning Chronicle call;; i.t, may be" in daily use
With tOose, o, like hint', understand neither;
but •thiS makes little in its favour. " Let it be
thangeil" •
.4. " he etymology of Carotisel is from Ma-
tlame de Geniis "—vu C.

Here is the misery of ignorant quackery. Lady
Alurgan was willing to take credit for what she
seonevived to he a :earned derivation ; but-ft is no
'noner sho-wn to,he than she geoerOnsly
hastens to texture 41,arfriend.":---We
I►elieve, with The Quarterly Review, that the bulk
of her hook, likethi's famous dcrivio ion, is at se-
siond hand.

'for a Commoner: as Mr. Coke Of Nor folk, arid as
Vrooll of the distinction, It is.evitlent that the

The Morning Chronicle thinks, we observe,
tf that such epithets as " false," " licentious,"
el and irreligious," are considered as doubly base by
their application to a -female." This is rare doc-
trine for the gentle inmates of Bridewell and the
Arety Prison. But since when have the fair sex

and ra{igion with impunity ? This' is the New

fire years past, the greater part of the States of

League, commenced with better auspices, will
long have happier effects, for Europe and for atl
mankind, than any Roman League, Heathen or
Papal, Consular, Imperial orfontifical.
The character and '.career of the magnanimous
and placid Alexander of our day, give earnest and
promise of a More halcyon emir, so long and so
much wanted, to '' vindicate the %vays" of the
European Races, and to open, at last, that' bril-
liant and beneficent course, which science, navi-
