THE 0-IINIPRESE'SCE OF THE DEITY.
BY L.. INIONTCOMEII.V.-LONDON, 1828.
There is a great deal of promise in this young
poet. He has evidently a vigorous fancy, great
luxuriance of language, a fine ear, and much poetic
information. He has: also an energy. about him—a
manlineSs of thought that now and. then reminds us
of our late-lamented ." Childe Harold." What, for
instance, can be more spirited than this extract from
a little poem, entitled the " Pains of GcniuF."
The whirling brain, and heated brow,
ideas that torture while they grow;
The soaring fancy over-fraught,
The burning agonies.of thought ;
The sleepless eye, and racking head,
The airy terrors round him spread :
Or freezing smile of Apathy,
Or scowl of green=eyett Jealo;dy-;
Or haggard-Want, whose; tean hands wave •

proent season has been very favourable for the planting
of
the trees and shrubs in St. James's Park, which now pro_

gardens have made great progress on the south side- Some
idea may be now farmed of the whole plan from the parts
which are already finished, and the walks which are laid
out. Should the preaeut weather continue, the shrubbe-
ries will soon be completed, although there are several
thousands yet to plant. The oldest gardeners say they ne-
ver before remember such a continuance of mild weather as

FOREIGN INTELLIGENtt.

- FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Monitettr of Saturday.)

IRCULAR OF THE GRAFT) DUSTER OF THE UNIVERSITT TO
TOE RECTORS OF COLLEGES OR ArADEIWIES.

" Sir,—The office which the King has deigned to
confer upon me, must establish between you and me
important rel7itions. In announcing •to you how
!ouch I congratulate myself upon it, I seize the Op-
portunity 'to lay befOre you my notions on the prin-
ciples which ought to direct the teaching body.
Religion and morality are the first bases of all good
education. It is of importance that this truth ahotild
he constantly present to the minds of men employed
public instruction. -It is of importance likewise,
lint in their conduct towards those of their OPilg
who profess a religion difteren't from theirs, they
should no,et Ilfirget what the charter, the laws of the
kingdom, and the statuteS of the Universities, pre-
scribe concerning liberty of conscience and the autho-
rity of parents.
" Love for their legitimate Princes is en innate
sentiment of Frenchmen, but this sentiment is
strengthened and developed by an education well
directed, and above all by sound -historical studies,
which trash yo'uth all that France owes to her. Kings.
hi following the chain of ages, they see issuing from
the same source, although at immense intervals, the
emancipation of the Communes, the establishment
of regtrlar independent justice, tly wise and strong
measures which Lave preserved the liberties of the
Galilean church, and finally the constitutionafchar-
t2r, which has closed, aceoMing to the saying of its
august author, the abyss of revolutions. It is by the
;unit consideration of these benefits, the last of which
has surpassed all the rest, that our pupils will learn
what ought to be the extent of their gratitude, that
their hearts will unite in the same sentiment of love
for their King and conflux, and that their minds *ill
comprehend the happy alliance of monarchical prin-
ciples and national liberties. Faithful subjects and
enlightened citizens, obedience to the laws will be-
corae easy, and they will be convinced that in learn-
ing to fulfil their duties they will show themselves
worthy of exercising their rights.
" Classical instruction has arrived in France to a
F•atisfactory degree of adVanteMent. By continuing
to employ the same efforts, and to pursue the same
paths, we shall obtain new improvements. I reckon
in this respect upon the zeal, of which you have not
ceased to give honourable pledges : but I think it
my duty to call your particular attention to elemen-
tary instruction. Over a great part of the kingdom
the state of such instruction leaves a great deal to be
desired. In order to propagate it, I shall employ
nll the means in my power. The government of
the king owes an equal protection to the different
modes of elementary teaching, whose utility is- ad-
mitted. All will receive encouragement froM it.
Not only does instruction procure for the labouring
classes more happiness and comfort, but it renders
them more religious, more moral, and more quiet.
" In all administrations, but perhaps more in that
with which I am charged than in any other, it is
necessary to maintain legal order. My intention is
to attempt its maintenance in all points, and without
restriction. lam convinced that I shall find in you
a frank and unreserved co-operation, and I shall be
happy to lay before the King the proof of your zeal,
and the result of your efforts. Accept, &c."

(From the Gazette de France, dated Feb. 9.)

BUCHAREST, JAN. S.—Since the departure of the
Ambassadors from Constantinople,the state of affairs
appear to be as little changed there as in the neigh-
bouring states. •The ClOvernment continues to order.
military armaments, and measures calculated to
revive the spirit of the-nation. The Russians are
assembling on the frontiers, and it seems that.prc•
parations-against every contingency are making in
the Austrian states.

.:. Here we are still in expectation and uneasiness.
The hope of seeing the proposals of the Powers ac-
cepted by. the Porte, or the pacification of. Greece
effected by some means or other, has kept here the
greater part of the Boyars, who, however, have ar-
ranged their affairs in such a manner as to be able
to withdraw on the first appearance of danger. The
.departure of M. Minziacky would be followed by
theirs; but though he has prepared for such an event,
he still holds out hopes that affairs will be arranged,
.and that no danger, or even embarrassment at pre-
sent, threatens the Principalities. If we credit the
accounts from Constantinople, it seems not impos-
.sible that the Porte may employ, in effecting by itself
the pacification of Greece, the time which must
elapse before the execution of the new measures
which may be agreed upon by the three Powers.
This at least is the advice given it by the agents of
the neutral powers, by which it would mot only end
all the discussions on the questions of intervention,
but also secure to itself advantages "which it would
lose (even supposing the most favourable chances)
by persisting in its present situation.. It .seems that.
the agents who reside here are mote completely in-
formed of the intentions of ,the Porte on this subject,
for they most,coptidently prophesy a happy solution
ui the midst of such critical circumstances.

VIENNA, JAN. 30.—Her Majesty'Donna Maria
da Gloria, the young Queen of Portugal, is said to
be already on the way from Brazil to Vienna. She
!s expected here in April, accompanied by the Arch-
duchess Clementine, who will go to meet her on her
landing. Her Majesty will be placed under the
immediate care of our august Empress, and will re-
main at our Court for six years, that is, from her 9th
to her 15th year, to receive her education. .It is said
that the .persons who are to form the Court of the
Mug Queen are already appointed. The Emperor
413razil will defray the expenses.
JR ease Austria should be absolutely obliged to
station an army of observation on the frontiers, it is
proposed to Mike a loan of 30,000,000 to cover the
expenses..
-It is said that the eldest son of the Prince of Lich-
tensteinis going to marry the daughter of the Eng-
lish Ambassador, Sir H. 'Wellesley.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
Prince Alexander Ypsilanti sunk yesterday under
his sufferings, in the arms of his brother Constan-
tine. Prince Rasumofsky, formerly Ambassador
from Russia, and his consort, did not leave him a
moment till the last extremity. His funeral Ivill take
plc to-morrow without any ceremony.
M. de Carman has just arrived from Paris. We
now know that M. de Ribeaupierre is not to come
here. The final organization of the Tory Adminis-
tration in England contributes to make us hope that
the new negociations on the part of the three Powers
will end in maintaining peace._
