LITERARY REVIEW.

MEMOIRS of the late Mrs. ELIZABETH H.I.MItTON-;
'with a Selection from her Correspondence, and other un-'
published Writings. By Miss BENGI.I2.—Two Volntne..
Lolsamitte., HultST, REES, ORME, and BRewn;

There are few Writers ot .either sex of whom it
might he more jn-tly said, " ihe9 proptite oixtue
otter death," than the author ot Glenhurnie, and
the Letters on Education. All the writings ot
Abs. I-lAmtt_ToN are characterised by the purest
spirit (it morality, by enlightened benevolence,
and genuine piety 'et we know not that she has
produced any work more truly instructive than the
transcript of her mind and heart—the sketches of
leer life and character, which are presented ill
!ken posthumous volumes. In the Modern Phi-
losophers antrAgrippina, she had established her
pretensions to good sense, extensive intormation,
end correct principles ; but in these domestic de-
tails, these unpremeditated effusions, we discover
those capacities for tenderness and affection which
et/list-4rue the loveliness of the female character.
The principal attraction of the Memoirs is un-
affected simplicity, with an earnest devotedness to
the subject, which irresistibly engages symrathy.
It might be objected to the biogtapher, that she
.has been sparing of her. own re tlections, b>4_thi•s
is perhaps rather to be -considered as a negative
merit than a positire defect, and when traced to
its natural awl obvious source, to -veneration for
the memory of a lamented friend, must angluent
the interest, if it does 110 L euhmice the value, of
, Ike publication.
Although the life of Mrs. 1-lANtivcort affords
little incident, the singularity of her situation in
• youth is interesting to the imagination; in in-
fancy, separated from her own faMily, -she re-
sided under the protection of an uncle anti strut
in Scotland, and during many years had no per-
sonal iuterconrse With her nearest relatives. By
the following extracts from her early cotrespon-
deuce with her brother (the karued tt'anslator of
the
.Hedaya)-, it will appesr that she derived no
advantages from society, and was entirely depen-
dent on her own exertions for cultivation, and

even for amusement :--
" The last time I addressed my beloved Brother, I had given
up all hopes of tie happiness I have since enjoyed in visiting
old Ireland.- All my schemes for bringing about that long-
wished-for expedition had proved' so unsuccessful, that I was
oblige() to lay all. further" thought of prosecuting them iside,
ant to content myself with the uncertain prospect of rcceiv
Lug a visit from my Si,ter,when.a letter front

threw

ine into the greatest agitation: it contained a proposal for toy
immediately accompanying him to Ireland. I got his letter
:at night; next day he and his -pupil tame at three o'cicick to
dinner. It was not till after t heir'arrivallthat I obtained the
full consent of my good Uncle and aunt to go with thew. I
had not above half an hour to wake myself ready for an ex-
pedition which I had been thinking of for some years.
" Our journey was agreeable; our pafsi,ge by Port Patrick
,pleasant; but toy !nesting with my dear Sister you will he
better aide to imagine from your own feelings, than I can
possibly describe. It was too touch for ns both. For my
share, I had a sort of dread that I should be waked out of the
pleasing dream into which I had fallen; it was some time he-
„fore I could conviuct myself of its reality."
The following ex'ract not only evinces the sin-
cerity of her attachttleot, but the cat►tluur of a
most ingest ions wind :
" By your two last letters I wag sorry to find that you
'seem) off-crated at some expressions I had inadvertently drop_
peel, wishing that the rectitude of your-heart and marmot,
might remain untainted amidst thegcneral depravity of both,
whicll.is aanowledged to prevail in the world: but you may
be assured that any thing of that kind, which has ever fallen
from my pen, was more the dictate of a warm zeal for 'your
welfare, than from any fears of your acting improperly in
•ny situation you could possibly be placed in. I begin to
fear that my dear Charles imagines he has got a little starch-
ed, cynical vistide Tor his youngest sister. If this idea has a
place in your mind, for goodness sake discard it as fast as
possible; -for I assure you nothing can be more erroneous. I
find I have faults enough of toy own to correct, without med-
dling with those of my neighbours, a vice which I detest, as -
the 'Sure proof of a little wind, and a bad heart. I have al-
ways found Myself in more danger of being forsaken by mw
prudence than my spirits. Ido all I can to make the one ba-

lance the other; but the latter often wins the victory, al
eats do, and leads me into a thousand petite., ferules, though

lhay be thantful the other never lets me go astray. When I
next have the happiness of seeing my dearest Charles, if you
do not find me so perfect as I could wish, with all my fault's
I hope you will still trod me worthy of your esteem and
friendship. Of your affection lam not so unhappy as ever to
forma doubt. By reading and retirement I have acquired a
greater habit of thinking than most people at my time of
but the warmth and gaiety of my temper will effectually
preserve roe from Melancholy, or that reserved, affected sit-

periotity, which is far oftener the substitute for good sense,
than the result of it."

" In looking over some of your litters, which f preserve as
carefully as a Catholic would the ptfclous 'relic of some fa-

vouritesaint, I find many of them are dated about this sea-
son (Christmas"), and some' at the racy tuna in which I was

employed hi a like manner writing to you., How pleasing is
the idea, that you may, perhaps ht this moment, be penning
an interesting account of your campaigns, your manydan-
gers, and, I hope I way add, deliverances, for my -perusal!
The idea is delightful, and I will cherish it; for I am afraid

to entertain the still more pleasing one of a personal inter•
view : and yet, castles builttun that-foundation are the most

pleasant anms.enient of my leisure hours. But, indeed, it:
them I may include the whole twenty-four; for here tran•

quillity holds an uninterrupted reign. From the time I get
up in the morning, till my uncle makes his appearance at
dinner-time, I hare no more use for the faculty of speech
than the Monks of La Trappe : then, indeed, I get a little

conversation in the style of the country, 44 the badness of

the weather, the deepnesi of the roads, the qualities of ma-
, nure, or politics, which we discus to admitation. Had my
uncle been Commander-In-Chief of the sea or land forges, or
I Prime Minister at home, Cornwallis would have
,been rice
Unions, and Graves had,sent the French home with disgrace.
, . .
After settling► these important matters, my reverend compa-
nion taltcs his nap, and I rattle at the harpsichord, till our

reading•time begins (which is usually from seven WI eleven);
and then I hold forth on various subjects. Ifistory and tra-
vels are onr chief favourites; hut Tith then we inierinii

We received this Morning the Pniis Papers of
Mooday last. They, of course, contain no Fur-
ther proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies, nor

do they give any additional details res'pecting the
liquidations. The chief part of their contents
.consists of a very long report of two days' pro-
ceedings at Albi, but which are. almost entitely
confined to the examination of a number of wit-
nesses, for the purpose of proving, with regard to

BASTIDE, what is called in our Criminal Courts
an Alibi. Much contradictory evidence has thus
been brought forward. The following are the
only paragraphs worth extracting

" PARTs, Anut, 27.—The King bait a Cour

yesterday at the Thuilleries, at which the Mini-
sters, Marshals, Peers, Deputies, &c. were

present.

The Countess of Gothland (Queen of Swe-
den), accompanied by several Swedes of distinc-
tion, was present on Saturday, in the Diptoniatic
Ttibune, at the Sitting,. of the Chamber of
Deputies. •

" IVe learn from Konigsberg, the 6th inst.,
that Madame de Krudener,„ oniiet arrival at Riga,
found an order prohibiting her frog) pruceediog•.to
St. Petersburg'', and enjoining' ter to remain for
the preient at Revel.

" STOCKHOLM, APRII. 7.—on the 4fh inst.
the King appointed the Oland Chatnheddhi and
Major-General Count Gustains de Loewenbielm,
Grand Cross of the Order dfs.the Sword, I is Envoy
Es.traordinary and. Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of France. His Excellency has been.

hitherto accredited in the same quality to the

Court of Austria.

• " The Brigadier of the Gendarmerie de l'Ar-
bresle (Rhone) has arrested a young mart named
Laille, accused of parricide. This wretch bad,
from infancy; evinced au implacable batrtd against
his father, and had often threatened to kill him,
on pretence of his ill-treating his mother. On
the sth of January he 'killed him with a bludgeon
at his own fire. He then carried him to his
field, and with his own hands buried him, after
having stripped him. The strongest suspicion'
tell upon him after his father's disappearance,
hut no proof could be brought forward, The -
Brigadier of the Gendarmerie, after vainly endea-
vouring to obtain some proof, thought that reli-
gion alone was able to wring the fatal secret from
b:m. With this view, he induced the Assassin,
by secret correspondence, to give his father Chris-
tian burial, and he was di,eovered by the Bliga-
dier and a Gendarme in the tact of digging up hii
father's body.-I,t is renbokable that in this fa-
mily-the wife of the murdered lather died in child-
birth by, the ill-tteatment of her husband, and his
father disappeared at that lime, and has not since
been heard of."

The 'communication of the Duke de RIC/IEIIEIJ
to the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, re-
specting the liquidations, inserted in our Paper of
yesterday, is pregnant with the most important
matter. Tlie liberality of the several Governments
which had claims on France, but seeming jus!lee
to their respective snbjects, is Eighty honourable

to them ; but whether it vas politic cortiluct is
another question. France is divi:led into parties,
and when once her pecuniary difficulties are sur-
mounted, and all foreign troops removed from.the
Country, it would probably be torn into pieces
br contending factions, if the most powerful of
them did not combine tes spread tevolotionaly
doctrines over -nthei• States, and shake the t►,run-

lotions of their safety, in order to prevent thew
7rom interrupting the ambitious views of the De-

magogues at home.—The termination, therefore,
of the military occupation of France by the Allies
is indeed-a question of the Inmost importance;
and truly is it said, in the Duke de RICHELIEU'S
conitriunication, •that " the Sovtrcigus are to
assemble to determine 114 is great questioo, upon
which binges the destinies of Europe." We have
often professed our alarm at the idea of a removal
of the Allied Troops from France; and nothing
that we have heard has altered our opinion of the

danger likely to attend such a measure, 'Jae re-
Y.ortifietary Waves arc VIII swelling in that Coun-
try, and perhaps would soon after rise into a

dreadful storm, destroy all the mounds of mkt
at bonte, and carry the overwhelming anti de-
structive torrent into al! surrounding States.--We
therefore raise a WARNING VOICE to our Itutei-2,
and to all the Governments of &trope, invoking

them to consider this. momentous question with
the most profound attention, and after so touch
labour, anxiety, and expellee, having delivered
themselves front revolutionary hotrors,,not rashly
to break down the safeguards of national inde-
pendence, by removing the Alli, d Troops from
Fiance till there is the strongest moral, political,
and physical proof that she is able to protect
herself from domestic danger, and consequently
by no means likely to bring perils upon any other
State, We have:' only to refer to the letters of
our. intelligent Correspondent at Paris for a
confirmation of the 'fact that France is divided
into Parties, and consequently to b in.v the dan-
ger which would ensue if they were wholly re-
leased from foreigncontroul, and at full liberty

to contend with each other,
.and spread anew
the flames of a Jacobinical Revolution.

It will be seen by our Liverpool Letter, 'that
another British Vessel has been plundered at sea
by two piratical Vessels under Sponith Colours.

Earl TR.MPLE k at this moment in Pai:ig, awl as

be is an intelligent young Nobleman; lie Iva be
able to form a good estimate of the state of affairs

in that Capital. It must be gratifying that his
failier,the Martinis OfTVCK:NGT:AM,II.I3 withdrawn
his cotintepance from those Politicians who, under
pretence of Reform, would expose their Country
to revolutionary horrors. The 1 nowledgc "add
abilities of the Noble Marquis mtnit always entitle
his opinions to respect, and he has too great a
static in the Country to be indifferent to its per-
thauent interests. Well, therefote, may he despise
the witlinp.of Party, and all ".the Paper bullets
of the 'nail]," while he is conscious that he sup-
ts the best interests of the Empire.

THE rout: Ass Assn: who, at dead of night, . •
116 s dagger plunges in his victi;n's breast,
It not mme vile than that pernicious pest,
Who, trim his secret den, with fiend-like sPite,
Btriers the fair fame of A,ctird worth to bli..;h-t.
Such, IV-pcTcn, art thou; all honest men detest
Thy treacherous baseness--guilty, may thy rest
Be as the refit of guilt—in wild affright
May'st thou 'start up from sleep! Oh ! if one spark
Of feeling thou relain'st, how-oft thy eye
Will seek th'e gi-ound, when calla ,Nssassitt'dark,
Conscious that thou sent'St forth envenomed lye.
Thine the just pang, to hear the keen remark,
To knoW, and yet not dare to say, "-''rwAs I!"
