Having read in your paper, xorailineagg, sev
extracts translated frtiin a 4ettlictetesting .c
Italian, entitled “ Revoluxicine dill a Republica Ve-
neta," I am led to think that a.short account of the
author, VITTORIO BARZONI,wouId not be unacceptable
to you or to your readers. This account is principally
taken froni a Vienna Gazette, in which 'his character
and writings arc reviewed. In Italy, and wherever a
taste for Italian literature prevails* as a writer he is
highly esteemed, and the productions of his peg have
contributed, not a little, to keep alive that sptrik.g
patriotism and detestation of French tyranny, wait
still seems to exist upon the Continent. He has ever
been a warm advocate of the cause of England, though
England is, perhaps, the only part of Europe where
his name is unknown. An additional' otive for re-
questing th&insertion of the following extract in the
STAB, is to point out a man who may be eminently
useful to his country, should any military operatiOns
be directed against the French in Italy. I am, Sir,
your most obedient servant, x.

VlrroelOßanzom was born under the dominion
of the' Republic of Venice at Lonato, in the province !
of Brescia, of an ancient and respectable family. • He
received from the kindness of his parents an education
at that time not common in Italy, and his studies,
which were commenced at Verona, were completed at
the university of Padua, where he took the degree of ,
Doctor of Laws. As he was destined to the professietx
of the law, his family sent him to practice as an advo-
cate at Venice, where the brilliancy of his talents,
and his proficiency in the liberal arts and sciences, -
together with the excellence of his disposition, and his
ardent love of his country, endeared him to all who
knew him. It was at this period that French intrigue,
and domestic treachery, produced the Venetian revo-
lution. The designs of the Jacobins could not escape ,
the penetration of BAHZONI, and his well-known pa.
triotism induced him to expose them to the merited
detestation of his countrymen. The several strictures
upon the transactions of the day, which appeared in a
periodical publication written by B.VILZONI, excited the
indignation of the partizans of France. JOSEPH
the agent and secretary of BUNAPAftTE, en-
raged at the opposition, which the designs of his
master experienced from this journal, publicly insulted
j the author, who ins:let:ly shot through the heal
with a pistol. ad li.i inual provccatio wa,
scarcely nee,. d, draw upon Pettizosi the vengeance
(I-BC/NAP:MT); ; 17 . proscribed and condemned to
death, but ave.:- Lei the intendedpunishment by a timely
escape tc the mountains of Tuscany. When Venice
was ceded to the fl of Austria, he returned to his
native country aed published a work entitled "Mc-mo-
rale Occurrence: of the French Revolgtion," which is con-
sidered as the most eloquent of his productions ; his
subsequent productions were " The Romans in Greece,"
"The iVanderer of the .eflps," " D:rtertations ufi in
Painting and Sculpture," and "The Revolutions of tie
Repot:lit of Venice," from which extracts have ap-
peared in different English Journals, and particularly
in the STAR. His writings rece mendee hint to the
notice of the Imperial Courf, and he proceeded to
Vieterfa, where he composed several works, the manu-
scripts of which are still in possession of the Empress.
He/afterwards went over to Malta, where he wrote a
political journal, called "The Carthaginie:m," and where
he still resides upon a very small and inadequate sti-
pend, which he receives from the -Government of that
Island.

BARZONI is :allowed by the Italians to be one of
their best modern writers, but is accused of having
introduced into his style many obsolete phrases and
latimsms ' • and though the warmh of his fancy may
have too frequently led him to indulge in declama,
tion, yet his works still support the high .character
which they have acquired, by th= lively imagery and
nervous sentiment with which they abound.

MESSRS, LEIGH and Co. Surgeons, confine di:,
attention to the treatment or certain Complaints contracted
In an unguarded hour, and that Debility whichis caused by youth-
ful habits. Mr. Lston having betin engaged Its this exclusivf
branch fur the last eleven years in this house, it is presumed that
the advantage of such experience gives the utmost success to that
assiduity with which they devote themselves to the Cure of these
Complaints.—ln all cases of recent occurrence the cure is speedy.
and pain and danger are equally avoided. ID every complicated
case,and in those distressing deficiencies, which are Vie c.nse-
gunners of youthful imprudence, or the enervating indulgences of
maturity in warm climates, their mode of treatment ensures a safe
and permanent restoration to vigorous health. The terms are
stated on the first interview:or in answer to letters, containing a
bank note, andin every case the moat inviylable secrecy is ob-
served.—No. V, Arundel-street, near Temple Bar.
