rOREIGN LITERATURE.

VOYAGES) TRAVELS, &C.—The last Livraisos
of the Annals of Voyage, anti Travels, of Geography and
History, by M. M. Mane_ Brun and Eyries, has been recently
published. It contains the Narrative 'of a Journey from Fes
to Tosubuctou, and tram the latter place to Houssa, with a
description of these two towns, which are but little inown
to us ; the continuation of a Memoir on the different nations
which inhabit Turkey in Europe;. a fragment, entitled the
Fair of Macario", extracted from a manuscript Journey
through Asiatic itussialba disquisition on the state of Persia;
a paper by M. de Krusenstern, on the Kurile Islands; a veil
curious Memoir on the Maldivia islands ; and several inte-
resting historical and geographical disst rtations.—(Gazette de
France, Dec. 20.)
A Picturesque and Romantic JourneN througk
dintilat France, by M M. Nodier, Taylor, and Alp. de Cail-
leux.—The first. t hree lirraisons of this Picturesque Journey
appeared six months ago, and were consideree to exhibit the
most perfect specimens of the Lithographic• Art : the three
succeeding livraisotes just • published possess, if possible.
greater merit. The whole of -the fifth livraisun is occupied
with sixteen beautiful engravings, executed by the best
Artists, representing the Ancient Abbey of Jumiegrsi
founded in the 7th century by Saint .Philibert on a Penin-
sula in the Seine, and which is celebrated in the Annals Of
Normandy as the Theatre of several remarkable events, and
chiefly because Charles VII. resided there with the beautiful
Agnes Sorel, whose heart was deposited in a tomb, which
destroyed by the Revolutionary Vandals about 30 years since.
Nothing can be more picturesque and 10111,111tIC 6311 the ill"
posing ruins of this /11€11111/11elli, Which unites the efegaute
and lightness of the Architecture at the middle ages with the
thane and graceful ornaments of the. swine period. The de'
seription of these mnaments, which are beautifully desighcdr
may be regarded as valuable studies in the att of construct"
jog Gothic Buildings.—(lbid.)
EDUCATION.—A Treatise on Public and Prizmg
Edlleall'Old in a Constitutional Monarchy, by P. H. Snzaitoe.
—A Treatise on Education is not, nor can it be, an Eirclelii-
pcedia. The business of an author is to point out the course
of studies proper for the different classes of pupil,, ac-
cording to their ages, the distribution of time, the heat modes
of conveying instruction, and what hooks should be rem!.
On all these points, the work of M. Suzanne contains
excellent rules, which are the more valuable because they are
the result of thirty years' experience and honourable success',
This treatise is a very maid abridgement• to those persons'
who are engaged in the instruction of youth, sod esp.:el-all/
to patents who wish to educate hAuselves their children.---
e style is simple and cluar.—(Journal (le Paris, Dec. -20.)

SOLEM QUIS DIOERE F4LSUM 4UDE.IT ?

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1820.

We have again to announce the non-arrival of
Paris Papers. Two days' Journals are due.

It is now reported, that though Mr. CANNING
has tendered his resignation, it has not been de-
cidedly accepted, but that he has been requested
to pause, with an intimation that it shall be kept
open for him. It has, it is said, been observed
in a high quarter, that, in' these times, when
principles are afloat calculated to involve all re.
gular Governments in anarchy and confusion,
uo man should desert his post who has any
weight in public opinion, and that the talents
of the person in question are of such a na-
ture as to afford powerful opposition to all such
disorganizing principles. We pretend not to
know the effect of these suggestions, which
may indeed be considered as an exhortation, if not
a remonstrance, against any who may think of re-
tiring into supineness when sedition and blasphemy
are raising their heads, and disposed to avail them-
selves of whatever may tend to favour their :I.pe-
rate machinations. We understand,•that the Post
occupied by Mr. CANNING, is still kept va-
cant, and if Mr. Pv.tf, cannot be induCed
to accept it, it is probable that the ex-
hortations to which we have alluded,
will be productive of the intended effect.—
We see with pleasure, that Edinburgh and
Dublin come forward with a patriotic zeal, wor-
thy of the Capital of our Sister Island, and it is
gratifying to find that several important parts of
the Kingdom sympathize in the same loyal senti-
ments.

THE HULL PACKET.—Mr. SIDNEY, the Editor
of The Bull Packet, who was lately so brutally
assailed by a seditious Rabble, has in his last
number given a wood Cut, representing that
rabble in the act of burning him and his Paper
in effigy. The miscreants were too low to de-
serve any notice but the contempt of all loyal
men and the due lair isliment of the Law.
Monday being Christmas-day, Divine Service
was performed at the King's Palace, in Pall-
mall, by the Rev. Dr. STANIER CLARKE.
On Sunday and Christmas-day, the Duke of
CLARENCE attended Divine Service at the Chapel
Royal, in the King's Palace, St. James's.

The Duke of YORK attended Divine Service
at the Chapel Royal.
Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Military
Levee as Commander in Chief, at his office in tt:e
Horse Guards.

We understand, that by a new regulation in
the system of our East India trade, the Com-
pany's ships from England for India will sail
singly, and not. its company, as heretofore, com-
mencing with the ensuing season.—(British
Press.)
Dr. EvEaAno is to succeed Dr. BRAY, as
Archbishop of Cashel.
Wednesday Mr. Serjcant BURTON was sworn
in Fourth Judge of -the Cdurt of king's Bench,
Ireland.

The Earl and Countess of ERROL are arrived
at Dublin. Ilis Lordship is A.d-de-Camp to
Major-General GRANT.
