The /7.',NF.IS; of VIRGTI.. Transhired by CifAtttrs 'Srkt-
doNs, D. D. of Jesus O.duTd. Second Edition.

It must he highly gratifying to all sound Critics
to that, notwHystanding the prevalence of a
new end fantastic species of Poetry, there is still
So much good sense and correct taste among the
Public as to encourage the prod: ction of a Second
Ertiiiou of this arl.uirable translation of the chief
work of the great Rnman Poet, written, to adopt
.the words of Lord " in the good old
style of our Elders and our Betters." Our Readers
Avill remember that, in this department of our
Journal, sve some time since entered into an ela-
borate examination of the merits of the work be-
fore its when it first appeared in 'Quarto,
directing our attention to a complirison of
douched passages with those translated by Day-
r,/„N, and we detrined it onr duty to seltn such
pa,satzes from that great Poet as particularly ma-
nifested his spirit and vigour. ‘Ve believe that
our Readers in general will agree with us that our
Author suffered little compatatively in point of
poetic 1 acrd grsio,t iI much on the score of
tii!ehty. The WOI kis lit),V It e‘t flied to lilt I)4lb-
lie t %Co 11411‘1•011',C OetetVo Volnmes. In aodi-
tion to I,k former esedlent Pr.-face, arid all his
learned. historical, critical, arid illustrative notes,
the Author has introduced the new Edition to the
folloising manner :

•' In the revision of the following. pnges, nn their second pas-
sage through the press, I have dim! what I wail! to ink r
t hem less unworthy, I will not say of the putiiic approhation
but, of ihe paha pardon and I conceive that they are now

brought nearer to that stale of relative per':ectitin, in which
1 hare been solicitous to pi.tce them before the reading- cum-
nainAy of Britain. The alterations in them, lo‘wever, which
I have heel' induced to make, are not either so numerous, or

of so important a nature, as sensi'dy to Arta the great body
of the Poem ; and it is believed that the pos,essors of the
fonntr edition will not regard the value of their property as
materially diminished in consequence of the small verbal
changes Which rosy he discoverable in this.
fhe task of revising toy work, I have been principally

assisted by the ju:ii:roent of my son, John Synimons ; %N.hose
taste has been refined t 9 pure Atticism by an intimate inter-
course with the prat authors of Greece; anti to whom, as

troy assessor in the present instance. I avow my obligations
with the just pride of a father. In the correction of ny
I have also been aided by my public critics, whose exposure
of a few of my smaller delinquencies has made them more oh-
t•ioesly the subjects of toy remarli. TO these critics I ought,
perhaps, to profess myself indebted for soiuttlrin; more than
the discovery of my faults ; 'for the praise which they hare
awarded to me has certainly not been lieht, or destitute of
value in my appreciation. Fu;, wholly separated from me as
they arefaini shrouded from my eye by impenetrable dark-
bess, they could decide upon toy work under nu other in-
Coerce Ciao that of their• sense of tiutis ; and, by the con-
scOusot ss of fulfilled duty, they moi..t. be raised above my
tbaas. In the intercourse indeed of justice, thanks are

neitt er expected tier due : but by the honest conduct of these
intelligent critics 1 have been gratified; and, pleased with
tin it praise, I will not quarrel or dispute with their censure.
The charge of latiriizing, however, which they prefer against
roe, I will allow myself just to notice, that I may produce,
for trey defence, as an occasional borrower from a language
rilure lisirnioniouz and powerful than thy own, the defence of
Dryden when be was exposed to a similar accusation; and

nosy thus bring that great man to plead as the advocate of our
common cause. ' I will nut c.acase, but justify myself,' says
the illustrious Poet in his Preface to his ..Encis, for one pre-
tended crime, with which I am liable to he charged by false
critics, not only in this Translation, but in many of my ori-
ginal Poems, that I latinize too much. It is true ; but when
I had an English word significant and sounding, I neither
borrow from the Latin nor any other language ; but when I
want at home, I must seek abroad. If sounding words are
not of our growth and manufacture, who shall hinder me to
import them from a foreign country? I carry nut out the
treasure which is never to return; hut what I bring from
Italy I spend in England. here it remains and here it circu-
s; for, if the coin be good, it will pass from one hand to
another. 1 trade both with the living and the dead, for the
enrichment of ourinative language. \Ye have enough in Eng-
land to supply our necessities ; but if we will have things of
magnificence and splendour, we must get them by commerce.
Poetry requires ornament; and that is not to be had from
our old Teuton monosyllables. Therefore, if 1 find any
elegant word in a classic author, I propose it to be naturaliz-
ed; and, if the public approves of it, the bill passes:—If,
seduced, then, by my affection for these high-born and vocal
aliens, I have erred in toy frequent preference of classic
words, I have erred with the [mist eminent of all the
provers of our language; and, in such society, error itself
can scarcely be the subject of a blush. But I must withdraw
even from the shadow of controversy the remaining portion of
my small sheet, that I way consecrate it to the better feelings
of my heart. Let me now, then, say that there is a public
ar,riter, of extended celebrity throughout the Political and the
Literary World, to whom my thankfulness is largely due, and
to whom I ant happy its this opportunity of 4vowing the mag-
nitude of niy obligation. Acquainted with me, originally,
only by my publications, and conciliated solely by his partial
estimation of their merits, the Proprietor of Tice SUN Paper
has uniformly encouraged me with his plaudit ; and, in the
circulation of his popular pages, my name has beets agitated
into life. Unfeed and unsolicited, without the hope of any
other recompense than that which he derived from his own
approbation, and, let me add, with a high disdain of that
party spirit, which in these bad days has arrayed man against
man and torn brother front brother, he has devoted, not his
paragraphs hut, his columns to the display of my poor Muse;
and has hazarded the established reputation of his own lite-
raryjudgment, whilst lie has been placing wreaths upon her
unrespected brow. For all this kindness,

Grates persolvere dignas

" If, in the train of the Slantuiln bard, I could hope to visit
posterity, it would be gratifying to me to think that by eyes,
yet withheld by interposing centuries from the light, the
small record of my gratitude would be read, and the name of
Juulv TAYLOR be seen thus closely associated with that of
" CHARLES SYMMONS."

[Morning Chronicle.]

The Chevalier C. Vassalli, Equerry to her Ma-
it's! y the Qiieen, who arrived on 'Tuesday night,
in four days, from Geneva, with dispatches horn
her Majesty, left town I,st night for Ole purpose
of rej her, either at Geneva or nearer, on
her t 00,,, to England. Her Majesty is in the
tol!est determination to proceed to this Country
Frmte ; she does not intend to visit
Paris on her way. Her Majesty was confined five
days with vi,ih tit rheumatism, and was also de-
tained, after Cenis, with a violent
cold and spasms, and two days in repairing her
carriage. This will account for the delay. Site
declares herself most anxious to reach England,
aurl eun,plains of great fatigue in travelling by
land ; and says, if a vessel had been sent tar her
she ovoid have been in England long since.

[Morning Post ]

THE QUEEN.-:-A who arrived on
IV,dnesday wiiii letters from the• Queen, set out''
I.ist !light On Iris return to Geneva, where her
Majevy was to wait his arrival. She determined
to remain a few days at'Geneva, in consequence
of a rheumatic attack and violent cold and spasms
with which she was seized on passing Mount
Cenis. Ihr Majesty's resolution to come to Eng-
lan seems fixed, irom what fell from Mr.
Bdrough,,m in the Course of a discussion which
took piace in Chancery yesterday upon a very un-
pleasant siibjeCt ; but we still hope and trust, that
ere she reaches the coast she will be induced to
attend to the advice of bet best friends.

INJUNCTION.—THE QUEEN, &c.

THE FAEL (,I, LIVEP.POOL AND COUNT MUNSTER V.

14101 MAJP,STY THE QUEEN, THOMAS COUTTS,
ESC. and OTHERS.

The ArrouNev-GeNtmat, moved for an injunction to re-
strain the Defendants, Messrs. Coutts and Co. from deliver-
ing up to her Majesty, or to any person by her order, two
instruments purporting to be executed by the late Duke of
Erunswick, acknowledgng to be indebted to her Majesty in
the sum of 15,6001. which he had received from her as a loan;
one of the instruments was in German and the other in
English. Her Majesty, after the death of her brother, the
Duke of Brunswick, remitted the two instruments to the
Right Honourable George Canning, and he lodged them
in the banking house of Messrs. Coutts and Co. Applica-
tion was made on the behalf of her Majesty to the
Ne:sle Plaintiffs as the Executors of the Duke of Bruns-
wick for the payment of the 15,0001. and they refused,
doubting that the instruments bad been executed by the
late Duke of Brunswick : a suit was instituted in that
Court on the part of her Majesty, to enforce the payment of
the amount of the instruments ; application was made by the
Solicitor of the Noble Plaintiffs, to the Solicitor of her Ma-
jesty, for information as to how the loan to the Duke of
Brunswick had been made, and out of what transactio❑ it
had arisen, and that information he would not say was re-
fused, but it was however kept back. It would be in his
Lordship's recollection that that suit had been dismissed,
and the Plaintiffs had filed a cross bill. Her Majesty had
not thought proper to put i❑ her answer, but the other de-
fendants, Coutts and Co. had, admitting that they had re-
ed the instruments front Mr. Canning, as the property of
her Majesty, and as such they considered themselves not
hound to deliver them up to any person but such as were au-
thorized to receive them, having that authority from her •
Majesty. He held an affidavit in his hand which set forth that •
her Majesty was in possession of another instiment, pur-
porting to be executed by the late Duke of Brunswick, fur
the payment of 15,000 Louis; and that she had applied to
several persons on the Continent to advance her money on it,
but without success. Under these circumstances he had no
doubt but his Lordship would grant the Injunction as praye
for. •

Mr. HowNe stated that he appeared as Counsel for th•
Defendants, Coutts and Co. and they were ready to submit to
any order the Court might think proper to make.
Mr. BaouPHAN said, he and his Learned Friend, Mr.
Denman, were Counsel for her Majesty, and it was not their
intention, as the Legal Advisers of that Royal Personage, to
offer any opposition to the order of injunction being granted;
so far from it, they gave their full consent, and were anxious
that the most minute investigation should take place. It
would Hot have been necessary fur him to have said a single
word more on the subject, if his Majesty's Attorney-General
had not complained that her Majesty had not put in her an-
swer to the cross bill. He would tell him that that answer
would he put in if her Majesty's legal advisers thought it
necessary, and the reason it was not done before was, the ab-
sence.of her Majesty front this country; but that cause would
he now removed by the immediate return of her Majesty.

The ArronNEv-GErattAL—" All I have to say is, that
the cross bill was filed in 1E18."

Mr. BROUGUAM-.—" If it bad been filed eight years instead
of two, the cause of the answers not being put in would re-
main the same—for they could not remove the sea, the Alps,
and Appenines, which were between the Royal Personage anti
her legal advisers."
The LOUD CHANCELLOR...." Take the order of injunction."
Motion granted.

A very violent wind prevailed during the greater
pats of yesterday. So great was its toree that one
of the largest trees in St. James's Park was blown
down horn the root.

The hydrophobia has again made its appearance
in Sheffield, and nearly a whole park of barriers
have iu consequence been destroyed.

LONDON,
FRIDAY, IJdY 19, 182.0.

We received this morning the Paris Papers ot
Tnesday last. In the Chamber of Deputies on
Monday, after some observations from the Mini-
ster of the Interior, respecting the charge against
the Censors, ot allowing 'be publication of articles
in the Journals, connecting the LibetatrK With
GRAVIRR, and in answer to which be alleged that
the whole offence consisted in italics, the Censors
not being aware that the word objected to was
to he put in Italic:, (the word Coirstans, in a pa-
ragraph in the Gazette de France, derived its sting
from being typed in Duties) ; and a speech from
M. BENJAMIN CoNSTANT., who Was by no
means satisfied with this explanation, and urged
other instances in which the Censors bad 3411C-
tioned attacks upon the Liberaux, without al-
lowing the publication of any defence, a report
was received from the Committee of Petitions,
and then the discussion was commenced on the
Election projet. Only five speakers were heard,
viz. General Foy, a very long speech, M. fttt-
NOUX (de la Cote WOO, and M. FRANCAIS against
the projet ; and M. de la BOURDONNAVE, at great
length, and M. CASTELBAJAC, in favour of
The discussion was adjourned till Tuesday. The
following are extracts :
" PARIS, MAY I G.—The King received persons
as usual yesterday. His Majesty transacted busi-
ness with the Baron Portal, Minister of Marine.

" Tl►e Chamber of Peets assembled yesterday
by special' summons, for the purpose of hearing
the Report of the Special Commission, which it
bad appointed for preparing the proceedings
against Louvel. M. de Bastard, in the name of
that Commission, proceeded to read the Report,
but the length of it, and the great number of do-
cuments referred to, precluded the Chamber
from hearing the whole ; the further proceeding
was therefore adjourned till this day. The indi-
viduals who are detained by virtue of Mandats de
Depot, on charges of being more or less impli-
cated in the affair of Louvel, and respecting whose
fate the Chamber of Peers will decide, are the
Sieurs Mauvais, a retired officer; Alexis Duval,
a veteran, of Chalons ; Jean Bourdon), tailor, of
Rouen ; Sholns and Thomas Furriers, in the
Legion of Vosges.

" AUXERRE, MAY 14,—The Queen of England,
who travels tinder the name of the Marchioness
de Bolt, arrived here on the 11th instant,
and set out at eight this morning to proceed
to Paris. Her Majesty being desirous of view-
ing the Banks of the Yonne and the Seine,
etnbatked in a covered boat, which was prepared
to receive her, and will arrive at Pat is the 162 h.
Her Majesty wished to maintain the most entire
incognito, but her arrival being soon known, a
crowd assembled ail the way from he hotel to the
place of embatkation.

" AUGSBURG, MAY B.—There is said to be a
great misunderstanding between the Porte and
the Paella of Janina (him to whom Parga was
ceded); the latter, it is stated, will he summoned
to proceed to Constantinople, but which he %rill
certainly refuse. The cruelties and exaction of
this Pacha have been long the subject of the most

set ions complaints.

AIADAID, MAY 4.—lt is said that the Swiss
corps in the service of France will form a corps
of observation on our frontiers."

We stated a fe►v dAys ago that Tire QUEEN had
sent dispatches to Mr. SICARD, one of her con-
fidential Agents in this Country, announcing her
speedy return, and ordering preparations to be

made roi- her recept!on.
attAiigznce from the
Continent has since arriv
corroborating the
report. Such intelligence, k
ever, is not to bet
relied u,9 as it has been so &iv and‘ &antra"
dietary. But news of th.eport of firr
,
,v
JosTv's intesideJaiTival have sstle4s tooreberual
and credible shape ;
as our Rea's will find in 615
Proceedings yesterday in the Cot of chancerYi
that Mr. linonottAx stated that L return might
speedily be expected. It cannot baupposed that
this Gentleman, the confidential End and legal
Coubsellor of her MAJasTr, would I,ak without
authority, or would have announce the /natter
%vial such official founality, but with full confi•
dence that the event will certainly takplace.---
Still, however, we must resort to the ale, and
s‘q, " Seeing is believing," and that oudoubli
never will be removed 'till an authentic ,count
arrives of her actual landing on the British,hore•

The importance of the subject upon whici th'
two Petitions have been presented to Parli3Ltot
from the Merchants of London renders it nets"
nary that it should be fully developed to the N'
tion at large. ‘Ve inserted the latter of thoto
Petitions because it was more comprehensive
its detail and more important in l's substance afq
tendency. The objects of the first were loose
and undefined, but those of rhe second were of
essential interest to our Colonial Possessions, toa

demand the Farticular attention of the Legislature.
llt has justly, been observed in a Morning
of this day, that " we derive train our N"tdi
American possessions numerous and daily increi
ing advantages ; and therefore, in promolog this
great branch of Canadian trade, we are 1"5-
tering a child which makes ample return for arty
parental kindness. Our Colonies of Upper 0d
Lower Canada, the Ilutison's Bay TerritorY'
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and New
foundland, are altogether in extent equal to
a mighty empire, and possess a loyal pop'''
laden' increasing in natnbers, capable of
spreading itself in time to the very boric°
of the Pacific. The resources which these
.
vast shores and territories possess, in Africa!'
tore, in fisheries, in the fur-trade, and in pilule'
tons products of a valuable nature, will, it pro`
perly directed, prove a mine of wealth to tiie
mother country, and therefore well deserve fh"C
fostering care which the Legislature has already
bestowed, and will doubtless continueJo bestow,
on their protection and improvement."---``
no doubt p.ty something more for our Canarli33
timber on account of the length of its transit ;
but then this increased price is not wholly moneY
lost to the Nation. It goes to support the BritiOt
seaman, the British shipwright, the British roe'
chant, in short, it goes to knit together the bioeo
of the State. Nor is this all. What we 'pay

price, therefore, although if valued in money
may appear large, yet if reduced to the first cost of
the articles in which payment is really made, it will
appear to be much less than may be at first inna'
gined."
These are essential facts which cannot but in''
duce Government to deeply reflect on the danger
of removing restrictions which may interfere wil"
our Navigation Laws, and not only diminish or
commercial prosperity, but obstruct the growth of
our Naval Defenders, the bulwarks of the Empire'
But we wish to have the subject fairly and
canvassed, and therefore have inserted an .t'e°
count of the late General Meeting of the SHIP'
OwNtas at the City of London Tavern,whose well'
digested Petition to Parliament we have alreaal
presented to the Public, and, to manifest our
partiality, the Petition also from the Merchants °I
Manchester of a contrary tendency. They are both
to be found in our Fourth Page of this day, and 'ITC
repeat, that onr columns are open to the free dis":
cussion of a subject of such importance to tli°,
Empire, -

We have beard an exitaordinary story of ‘ri'
order for payment of 5,0001. at Messrs, Cool's'
Ste. to a Tradesman, for removing an execution°
Rome, and of a Counter order of the very same
date, received on the very same day, at the veil
'same house. This story, however, is so very im
probable in itself, and so unsuitable to the ells;
racter of the Person from whom the order an
counter older are said to have issued, that 1/
cannot but treat it as the there invention of ri1,14
vate malignity, which is too apt to view
Staiions with envy, and to attempt to throw °
loquy on the possessors.
