We have to apologize for the omission-of our Masonic Noti=
ces for the two last weeks, and for not adhering to Thursday as
the day fbr their insertion. TheSe irregularities have arisen
from some circumstances which we could not controul,
which we trust will conduce to that regularity, accuracy, and
certainty in future, without which the operations of Masonry
cannot, we well know, be conducted with credit to the craft, or
advantage to the world in general.

FOREIGN LITERATURE

(NU XVIII.)

•
Fttcif eni;#ALity.—MadatTie
Tv has just ptiblished a small yolume, entitled
French Chivai4. This g'allhnt and accomplished
chivailiiy: has celebrated go Many women, that it
is but just. tirornen should return. the .complimento
Madame Tastu has,
,in the name of her sex, paid
this debt of gratitude ; and if any discourteous
Critic should reftise to do hOmageto het- talents,
where is the Knight that would not break a lance
in her cause; ?-

. .
After all that has been written on rrencti•
Chivalry by FavynLacolombiere, and especially
by St. Palaye iu his 111emofres, and M. de .Mar-
changy.in his Podic Gaul, it seems scarcely.
possible to publish any thing on. this interesting
portion Of French history, which haS nbt been.
before said by these learned authors. Madaim
TaSier was sensible of thiSS-dilficulty, and it is,
rather from the forui than the materials of her
composition .thai she can expect to find any,
readers on .asUbject. which would seem to have
been exhausted.

Our fair author follows the Knight through
the different chanes Of his life {,she relates his
first education after his reception, in quality of
page and attendant on the-ladies, into the tnan=
sion of a great and powerful Lord, where. the
conversation was almost wholly engrossed with
the recitals of deeds of glory and love, and where
the young sons of brave and gallant KnightS
learned at the same time .the catechism and the
art of love. There, for the first time, the Knighti
felt the tender ernotipns. of the heart, and there
the foundation was laid of one: of those la,stinsr
impressions-which miracles are destined to im-
mortalize. Vast Gothic structures, aged forests,
'and solitary streams, cherished in full vigour, by
their romantic appearances., those affections which
nothing-Was able to eradicate; And which :were
deemed a species of enchantment, the work of
some magic philter. This cultivation of liive,
this devotion of constancy, gave birth to prodi-
gies; and the device agreed on by .tiwo lovers.,4
the interview by the light of the moon, was Pie
source of heroic actions and supernatural
.sen,-
timents.

The-youth, who had just. quitted- the. service
of a page, was presented to the altar by his.father'
or mother. A sword, consecrated by religion to
the defence of the unfortunate, was attached to
the side of the ei-deviant ladies' attendant, who
no* was appointed Squire. In this new office he
was admitted. with more confidence and familia-
rity to the conversation of his Lord. lie assisted,
standing up, at festivals,occupied, like theovar.;
Hors of notner, in dividing. the burning merab.ers

steed of his patron, and.followed kith to.:baitle,
where he gave,. at.,the.,.risk.: of *his" life, brilliant
proofs of fidelity- •
. At the . age of twenty-one ,years the' Squire
might. be admitted to-the honours of knighthood:
This order was conferred on him amid the 'most
pions and affecting ceremenie'S.'
glorious course. of those, noble ~ad ventures,
.bold
enterprizes, and celebrated conflicts with lande
and sword, which shed so much histre over . the
annals of chivalry. •
The author, after having traced the duties and
customs of chivalry in its respective gradations,
has, sung in verse many. of those duties and usageswhich are essentially poetic. There. is elesance,
simplicity, and ingenuity in the piecei entkiltid.
The Maternal Farewell, The. Eve. of Battle, .The
Device, The Calle and the Abbey,- The Brothers
in Arms, The Daughter of the COnstabie itf..the
Castle, Du Guesdin to the Tomb (;1' Roland, and
Bayard to.Srescia. Most of these fug.i,tive.p.ieces.
divided into stanzas, are. wprthy Of being set to
music, by which means the charms OT delightful
poetry will be combined with the niagieo Bowers

THE KIN'S VISIT TO. I'll

• . i ~.

It is with pleasure we are, enabled 01 add,
from very high authority, the followink'itVerest-
in particUlars to the notices we havd already
made, comieeted with the auspicious visit-or our
most gracious SOVEREIGN to -Ireland :

His Majesty has been pleased to express his
intention' of holding. two Courts in Dublin. His
Majesty-wilt review the Garrison, ut•the
Park, -and..,a second review of trooo,-eonsisting
not of the garrison merely, but of all the. regi-
ments that:can,be Conveniently collected for the
occesion, will immediately-follow. . also the
Royal-intention, to honour the City•of Dublin, in
the person of its Chkf Magistrate—hiiwMajesty
-will cline with the Lord Mayor, and tbi-din'n-er, we
believe, with the exception of the Viceregal dinner,
will be. -tire, ocily.one. to: which his 'Majesty will
accept-an invitation: 'We can add, too, that our
beloved, Monarch designs a visit to our natipual
T h Fat Patriot.)

It is said that Dublin Castle is to be fitted up
for the residence of his Majesty ; that all the Fo-
reign Ministers will be required to attend the.
Court to be held in PUblin ; and -that it wilt be
signified to those noble families who -are'thost in
the habit of being in the society of his Majesty,
that. their presence will—be 'acceptable to hi's
Majesty. Thus there will be the most nu-
tneron,: opulent, and splendid assemblage. of
:.,reast personages in Dublin, that has • ever
yet appeared in Ireland More than a hundred
years have elapsed since Ireland saw a-King
and then she.. witnessed her *fields laid in blood,
and her liberties were smote to the earth.. The
-King of Ireland Will now arrive in all the pomp
and circumstance of ,glurionS peace—he will
be attended by most of .his 'Ministers, by a-great
body pithy English NO-bility and Gentry, by
.the. great Officers.of his' 'Household, and- by the
Representa tk es :of ;411 the Sovereignsin Europe—
he will come.- like a great King, aniong the Host

pAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.]

[New Times.]

The -various accounts from Naples and its vi-
cinity lead us to fear that more blood may be,
5114 than. We had hoPed woulcl.-Ihilve been the
case. Our. Private Correspondent, whose letter
is of the .20th. ult. conflates by' stating, that a
project. for eflvcting a Counter Revolution by
the Royaliq tarty had been discovered. This,
we 'fear, will be laid hold of to effect a massacre
Of indf-vidwil who r:.-lay belnost obnoxious to
I,he Rebels. ikfready th'e i,ssassins have begun
their work. The Murder of Gianpietro spread
.
gre-,•.t terror and alarni: v,hich are the means
the .he secret Societies desire to employ. We
have.reason to believe that they have emissaries

for similar,puroses in other countries, and er.i.it
in England. Howver, the miscreants last al-
Lidtd to are watched by an acti:•e Police, and
some Of them :nay shortly Le dragged to
receive the reward of their crimes.

[British Press.]
„in§iirr,..6tionary spirit has been excited
thiligliout the-greater part of Italy, manifesting
Uniformly in hatred to the Austrians, and
whcfe with mOre effect than in the lands Of
ihe Church and the Marches. To this is princi-
-I,*illy attributed the Sudden interruption of the
pteviously rapid march of the invading army. In-
s.:'eati of finding a patient and unresisting victim in
Naples, r hieh was to be crushed without remorse
.or sympathy, the ac trians now discover that they
rise roused a greater and more powerful
anta-
`XQ than in their dreams
.Of triumph had eve!.
oceurred to them. It is not with Naples alone
they have to I gait, but with the power of public
opinion, with the
rwhole population of an 'exten-
'Sive country, N% lib a people proverbially sensitive
atd ",quick.in quarrel,'.' whose modes of "hostility
.a-re. rot confined to the " pomp) and circumstance
Of war," but are as various as the pOssible means
'of destroying human life.
